 Widespread qualification was eX- pressed in Ensley Friday with the announcement from Montgomery that the Jeter bill to provide for the pop ular election of the members of the board of education had been defeat ed before the senate, although all members of the Jefferson delegation, save Henry Howze, favored the bill.
 With the Jeter bill defeated the city schools will continue to be free of politics it is believed here and Erskine Ramsay. Robert E. Chad wick, of the Bank of Ensley and others will continue to handle the tremendously important educational matters.
 It was doubly gratifying in Ems ley for the reason that the death of the Jeter bill gives local clubs a record of 100 per cent in measures that were successfully approved at Montgomery. During the legislature the hiwanis club of this city and the Ensley Associated Merchants opposed the Bowen bill, the Jeter bill and other legislation that boded i'll for this city and sent delegations to Montgomery in regard to them. This is not taking into consideration the steps taken in Ensley to defeat the Brewer measure aimed at the Ten nessee company The singular fact is that Ensley fought that battle single ley through the two clubs did not hesitate to face the firing line and came through all their fights at Montgomery 100 per cent strong. The death of the Jeter measure was the last of the bills opposed.

FOR RECIPROCITY

A tax of 2 cents gallon on gasoline
and tag fee of 81 year will be rec
commended 70 Congress by the Com
missioners as means Of bringing
about automobile reciprocity between
the District of Columbia and Mary
land.
The bill as finally approved by the
Commissioners provides for the aboli-
ton of the present personal property
tax on automobiles
1t is further stipulated that the
new Legislation shall not ego into ef-
feet on January 1, 1924, unless the
State of Maryland on or before July
l, 1923, agree to grant free and un-
restricted automobile privileges to
Washingtonians.
The Commissioners have estimated
that the new form of taxation will
bring in approximately $1,00O,00O a
year in revenue, which is slightly more
than is now derived from automobile
tags and from the personal tax on
motor vehicles.

"The idea is not to make divorce
easier" said Senator Capper, in ex-
planning his bill, "but to make mar
riage safer for the young, to insure
children of the future better health
and heredity, and to prevent hasty
and ill-considered marriages"
Uniformity of marriage and divorce
laws also is an object-of the bill which
would not become effective until after
adoption of the accompanying consti-
tutional amendment. This, Senator
Capper said, is to be pressed in the
various states by women's organiza-

WANT UNION STATION IN
FREDERICK

Plans, expected to lead to definite
form of action, were discussed at a
meeting last week of the Union Sta
ton Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of Frederick City. Seven
out of eight members of the commit
tee were present and much interest
was manifested during the hour and a
half of the meeting.
Several tentative sites were mention
ed, one of which, in all likelihood, will
be recommended later to the railroad
companies interested in the new sta
tion. It was unanimously agreed
that a union station would not only
be good thing for the city,but would
benefit the railroad companies, and the
opinion was expressed that this i'm
provement is definitely in store for
Frederick. The committee will hold
another meeting in about two weeks at
which, it is expected, a definite rec
ommendation will be made to the di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce.

HUNTING SEASON FOR GAME
BIRDS ENDS JANUARY 81

January 81 is the last day of the
hunting season for wild ducks and

known as Long Island, Maryland, the
District of Columbia, Virginia, North

sons prescribed for hunting migratory
game birds under the migratory bird
treaty act and regulations have al
ready closed in certain groups of
State-in some on December 81 and
in others on January Is.
The Federal law, which is admins
tered by the Bureau of Biological Sur
Catoctin clarion., 1923-02-01

vey, United States Department Of Az
riculture, provides that the careasses
of birds killed during the open season
may be possessed for an additional
period of 10 days following the end
of the season if the State or local laws
do not prohibit. The Biological Sur
vey warns that possession of carcass
es of wild ducks, geese, and other
migratory game birds in cold storage
plants or otherwise more than 1O>days
after the end of the Federal season
renders the owner of such birds sub
ject to prosecution IN Federal courts.
