stage as a female impersonator.

pleasing tenor voice. The main
body of the solo work, however, is
carried by Barrie Hill, junior from

voice Of remarkable richness and
carrying power.

Result Of Farley.
This was the result OF a confer
ence today between the District
Commissioners, representatives of
Governor Richie of Maryland and
Congressman Fred N. zihIman Of
Maryland.
The governors representative
agreed to recommend to the Mary
land governor that a. sixty day truce
be entered into pending the passage
Of District gasoline bill sent to
Congress by the Commission to-
day.
Congressman zihIman assured
both the Commissioners and the
Maryland representatives that he
with the aid of Senator Weller Of
Maryland would. personally canvass
House and Senate leaders in an ef-
fort to have the gas tax bill ex-
pedited.

The Commissioners also decided to

With the d. G. registration card and

allowed to go into Maryland with but
one tag.
The Commissioners bill provides
a 81 charge for license tags and
2 cents tax on every gallon OF
gasoline sold in Washington. The
Commissioners estimate this bill
If passed, would produce 100000
annual revenue, which is equal to
the amount now paid for tags. The
bill eliminates further payment or
personal taxes on automobiles.

AID TO LOCAL OFFICERS

After addressing the Perth Am
boy Rotarians at the New Packer
House yesterday, Col. H. y. Schwarz-
kopf, superintendent of the state po-
lice department, paid a visit to Chief
Niels j.. Tonnesen of the local police
department at the latter's head
quarters.
The colonel informed Chief Ton
nesen that he was glad to become
acquainted with the police depart
ment heads of the various cities in
known, there will be a better chance
of the departments working togeth-
er for the enforcement of the laws
of the state.
Col. Schwarzkopf said that his
officers are always ready to assist
the Perth Amboy police in any way
and his men will expect the same
from the members of the local de-
partment. An invitation was given
to the chief for all the members of
the local police force to pay a visit
to Trenton headquarters whenever
in that city.
A meeting of the members of the
Amboy department and the state
police force in a pistol shoot in the
fall, was suggested by the state po-
lice head and the challenge will be
considered by the local men. 1t is
probable that a baseball game also
will be arranged.
The colonel addressed the Rotar-
ians on the work of the state po-
lice.
