Two bills proposing amendments to
the City Charter of Baltimore were
brought to Annapolis by Philip B. Perl
man, City Solicitor, and introduced in
the House of Delegates by Mr.. Sharp,
chairman Of the city delegation.
One of the bills authorizes the
Mayor and City Council to provide by
ordinance for the reorganization Of
municipal departments. boards and
commissions. Mr.. Perlman said the
purpose Of this bill is to pave the way
for putting into effect the recommen-
dations of Mayor Jackson's Commit
tee on Economy and Efficiency. which
has been considering the reorganiza-
tion of the city government.
The committee has not formulated
any definite recommendation, Mr..
Perlman said. 1t has general plan
in view. and feels that the city should
have the right to carry out the plan.
The bill gives the city blanket permis-
sion TO make changes by ordinance,
rather than through referendum to
the voters. Some thought the right
already existed under the Home Rule
Amendment to the Constitution, but
others disputed II,
Another proposed amendment to the
Charter authorizes the city to provide
by general ordinance for the encour-
agement of the wholesale business in
Baltimore through the abatement Of
taxes on all personal property Of In
dividual firms or corporations which
shall be included in the business.

Senator colsan OF Baltimore City
Proposes Direct Voting For
All Primary Can
didates.

Annapolis.-Direct voting in pri-
maries for all Statewide candidates
in primary elections is provided in a
bill introduced by Senator Colgan.
Under this measure conventions would
be held only to select delegates to
national conventions.
County units would be abolished If
this bill is enacted, and a vote cast in
Baltimore city would have Just as
much effect as one cast in the small
est county in the State.
Under the Primary Election law as
it now stands the candidates for Gov
ernor, Comptroller. Attorney-General
and Clerk Of the Court Of Appeals are
nominated at conventions in which
each county or legislative district has
as many delegates as 1t has members
in the Legislature. 1t has been esti,
mated, for instance. that in primary
elections a voter in Calvert county has
as much power as 40 voters in Balti-
more city.
Candidates for United States Sena-
tor also under the Colgan bill are to
be nominated by direct vote in the
State at large. Delegates to national
conventions may be instructed as now
II candidates for the Presidency com
ply with the requirements of the exist
ing law, but the provisions in regard

 But that was impossible. l re- turned with my partner to our table. As I sat down, I saw the White Eagle rise, kiss with great manner the pudgy hand of the ovcrfed woman opposite, shake hands with her gross husband-the other two must have been married; certainly nothing but that memorable relation would make them endure each others company and leave the box.

Dusty days that follow in the trail of summer are likely to prove irrltat- ing to noses and throats and send people scurrying for sprays of one sort or another.
 At least this was the case in Any town and MT. Mann would try many remedies.
 But, like most people, he was using wrong methods Regular use of nasal touches should be avoided. A congested condition may develop and become chronic, for the mucous membrane of the nose objects to
