I would think I couldn't live. 1 would
have hot flashes, then would come
weak spells. 1 was so weak I would
think 1 couldn't ever get a meal
ready. My work was a burden to
me. 1 was not able to do my house
work half of the time. A friend adj
vised me to take Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and it has
given me strength and health. The
hot flashes left me and I got better
of the numb spells. That summer
1 could do my housework and worked
in the garden a good bit. I tell all

Gossip Makes EUl Ont

Most vicious of all gossip is that which attacks a young
girl, innocent of all wrongdoing and sensitive to any criticism.
A child's first conception of evil comes, not from any
knowledge, but from hints thrown out by ~busybodies who set
themselves up to see that their %neighbors' children keep in the
Dath of virtue.

I. NEAL PARKE
GETS JUDGESH|P
Vacancy Created BY Death OF Judge
Thomas, Includes Appellate
Bench.

Governor Richie rendered to F..
Neal Parke. of Westminster, Carroll
county, the chief judgeship of the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, carrying with it mem
bership on the Court of Appeals, made
vacant by the death of Judge William
H. Thomas.
Mr.. Parke is considered an outstand-
ing lawyer of the circuit, and was
backed by lawyers of every shade of
political opinion. He was in Rockville
trying case when the telegram offer
ing him the place was sent. 1t is
understood that he notified the Gov
ernor through friend that he will &C.
cept.
Although he never has held salaried
public Office, Mr.. Parke has a record
of service in public affairs and those
relating to the legal profession. He
was a member of the Budget Commits
sion, which about 10 years ago reor-
ganized the fiscal system of the State.
More recently he was a member Of
the Reorganization Commission and
the State Judiciary Commission.
He was born in Carroll county, Jan.
uary 6, 1871, the son of George M.
Parke, who was register of wills, and
the grandson Of Joseph M. Parke, reg
lister of wills and a leading lawyer.
The new judge was educated at West
ern Maryland College.
Appointed to West Point in 1889, he
remained there until forced out by i'll
health in 1891. He then read law in
the office of the late Judge Thomas,
whom he succeeds. Admitted to the
bar in 1898, he practiced in the Office
of his grandfather. He became the
partner of Judge James A. C. Bond in
1898, under the present firm name Of
Bond & Parke.

Dorchester Man Freed

Because he already had been fined
under local option laws for the same
offense, Henry Sofa, of East New Mar
ket, was released from Federal Gus
tody by Amos W. w. Woodcock
United States District Attorney.
Henry, according to the record, was
arrested by constable in Caroline
county April 10 for alleged transporta-
ton and possession of several quarts
Of what was described as whisky. Sat
urday he was tried before Magistrate
Ricketts,, at Denton, for violation of the
Caroline county local option law,
which limits the amount of liquor any
person may bring into the county to a
quart a month. He was fined $50 and
costs.
Prohibition agents brought him to
Baltimore for Federal hearing. They
were particularly interested, it was
explained, because it was a second
offense charge. When the circum-
stances were explained to Mr. Wood
cock, however, he declined to prose
cute.

Counties Warned

Voters in Maryland's counties must
send to Annapolis representatives in
telligent enough t present the coun
ties position on allotments of automo
bile tax receipts for building roads il
they wish to prevent Baltimore from
obtaining an increased allotment.
This warning was given by John N
Mackall, chairman of the State Roads
Commission
Baltimore city," said Mr.. Mackall
was asking at the last Legislature an
increase to Is, 81 and 80 per cent OF
the automobile receipts. This demand
undoubtedly will be renewed at sue
ceeding sessions.
IF more than the 20 per cent. now
allotted was paid there will have to be
either an increase in registration fees
or a reduction in the amount of widen.
ing necessary to preserve the present
system of roads in Maryland
Baltimore residents now own 40
per cent. of the automobiles in Mary
land. The city gets 20 per cent. of the
gross receipts of automobile taxes so
that the city is obtaining an actual so
per cent. of total payments made by
the people Of Baltimore to maintain
city streets and only so per cent. of
the money Baltimoreans pay is used
to maintain State roads.
"The counties must be on the alert
or the city representatives will prevail
on the Legislature to increase the
city's allotment"

Hands OF state Laws

Before further Constitutional
amendments are submitted the pro-
posers should show they are essential
and just, Governor Albert C. Richie
of Maryland, speaking at a luncheon
Of the Democratic Women at Pitts
burgh.
I'VE should, think, regard the
high-water mark in Constitutional
amendments as about reached.
''If we would avoid substituting a
disconnected and irrational piece Of
patchwork for the sound and har-
monious whole, which our Constitu-
ton has hitherto been. we must rec
ognize the fact that a privilege which
some group wants but cannot get
should never of itself be regarded as
justifying amendments to the funda-
mental law of the land"
Governor Richie said one amend
ment should be adopted before any
others. That was a Constitutional
amendment providing that:
Hereafter there will be no further
amendments to it unless at least one
house of the Legislature of each rati-
flying State has been elected after the
amendment has been proposed by
Congress, and unless each State is
given the right to a referendum Of
the people upon the action Of its
Legislature in ratifying any proposed
amendment"

Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles
Baughman has assigned one member

with the coming of summer, when
there are more automobiles on the
highways and more people killed, we
are doing everything in our power to
have the operators of automobiles ex-
ercise care, said Commissioner Baugh-
man.
zone hundred and twenty-five days

Child Labor Shows Increase

Wholesale violations Of the child
labor law were discovered in Mary.
land during 1923, according to the an.
nual report of Commissioner of La.
Dor and Statistics ]. Knox Insley, sub.
mitted to Governor Richie.
A total of 372 children were found
to be working in violation Of the law,
as against 76 in 1922. While 1886 firms
were found to be violating the law,
convictions were obtained against
only IS.
The report also shows large in
crease in the number of women EN-.
ployed in county factories, which
jumped from 3116 in 1922 to 6331 in
1928. The total number of women
employed in the counties and Balti-
more city is announced as 51,592, as
against 1858 for 1922.
Badges were issued for 2341 news
boys throughout the State during the
year just past. The majority of them
were issued in Baltimore City.
No serious strike difficulties were
experienced during the year, accord
ing to the report, which states that
"the State as whole and Baltimore
City in particular were practically
free of any disorder arising between
employee and employer"
Strikes caused by demands for
shorter hours, better working condi-
tions and dissatisfaction caused a
total loss in wages estimated at only
$196,9OS
The outstanding strike of the year
was that of the employees Of the
Mount Vernon-W Woodbury. Mills, which
lasted SO days, involving 534 men and
women. It was unsuccessful.
The statistical part of the report,
which covers a wide range of sub
jects, shows that 1885 divorces were
granted by the courts of Baltimore
City in 1923 from total of 2103 d.
vorce pleas filed.
Baltimore ranks eleventh in illit-
eracy among the large cities of the
country, there being more than $4,000
persons in the city above the age of
ten who can neither read nor write.
