Rumper CROPS For State.

Maryland will be land flowing in
milk and honey this summer and fall
If the prophecy Of agricultural experts
Is fulfilled. A backward season, due
to frequent and heavy rains, is the
cause, according to John S. Dennee,
agricultural statistician, division of
crop estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Mr.. Dennee returned from tour of
the Eastern Shore and Delaware. He
also is in close touch with other Sec
lions of the state. With the exception
of wheat and rye, he declared, the
outlook for bumper crops of garden
produce and fruits in this section is
one of the best he ever has seen.
There has been too much rain for
winter crops, he said. Wheat, he de-
scribed, as irregular" and mot so
good" while rye is only fair.
With all this, said Mr.. Dennee, the
farmer is not happy. He faces the
gloomy prospect of glutted market.

HOME HINTS
AND DIET
AFTERNOON TEA
By INEz sEARLEs WILSON

Serving afternoon tea is pleasant
custom. The hostess presiding at
well-appointed tea table seems to en-
body the spirit of gracious hospitality.
There is an atmosphere of intimacy
and informality which is created by
no other social affair.
In these days of kitchenettes and
dinettes and small quarters generally
the problem of entertaining is more or
less difficult. 1t Is not always pos
sible nor desirable to do all entertain
ing in public places and yet the family
may require all the space at table,
thus making it out of the question to
have guests at luncheon or dinner.
Having few persons in for tea solves
the difficulty in part at least
An advantage of this way Of enter
tanning is that everything may be pre-
pared before the guests arrive. The
hostess is in that satisfactory frame
Of mind created by the knowledge that
she is ''all ready for the party" There
is nothing to do except brew the tea
just before serving. J$
The ever-handy tea cart helps won
derfully as it takes the place of table
as well as tray. If the rooms are so
small that a wheeled tray is one Of
the things which has to be eliminated,
large tray may be used. The tea
pot, dishes, ETC., are placed on the
tray, which is carried into the living
vx711n &c
cleared for the purpose, and the serv-
ice is done directly from the tray.
Make your tea table as attractive
as possible. Use your best china and
see to it that the napkins are dainty
and snowy-white. Perhaps the tray
or table is too small to allow a CEN
terpiece of flowers, but aysingle bios
som in a bud vase will add festive
touch. tfa
You will need, for service, cups,
saucers; or instead of saucers salad
sized plates may be used. Spoons will
be required and forks perhaps, de-
pending on the type Of refreshments.
Very thin slices Of orange and lemon
arranged in alternate rows on small
plate are a decoration in themselves.
Cloves may be stuck into the pieces
Of lemon. /, personally, prefer putting
three or four whole cloves in the tea
pot and brewing with the tea. Incl
dentally, l do not reserve this method
Of making tea for company because
have found tea as beverage so i'm
proved by the addition Of the cloves
that / never make it without them.
Two or three are enough to give the
desired flavor. There are on the mar
ket, sugar-coated cloves in different
colors which lend to the attractive ap-
pearance of the table.
The food served depends entirely
upon the occasion and the wishes Of
the hostess. The refreshments may
be as simple or as elaborate as one
desires. A good cup Of tea and dainty
sandwiches are sufficient.

HAPPY TREATMENT OF
AN UGLY FIREPLACE

Perhaps you have an ugly, old, shiny
tile fireplace and perhaps your land
lord objects to having 1t changed or
perhaps you do not want to expend
the money to replace it? If this is
one Of your problems you will be in
terested to know how one clever wom-
an solved 1t.
She lived in a rented house Of the
Colonial cottage type Of architecture,
and her furniture, which was old,
seemed to belong in its surroundings.
However, in the midst Of the mellow
ness of the old mahogany and pleas
antly fading draperies and as the cen
ter of interest, stood a fireplace Of
monstrously ugly, shiny green tile.
The landlord would permit no
change to be made, and there it was,
creating discord in an otherwise har-
monious room. Very well, it could not
be torn down, and as peace Of mind
could not exist in the house with it,
the only thing to do was to cover 1t
up. This is just what my ingenious
friend did.
She had a carpenter make fire.
place Of wood in such way that 1t
fitted over the original mantel. The
new exterior of the fireplace was
painted white to match the woodwork,
and was pure Colonial in design. The
difference this simple treatment made
in the room was astonishing. All
parts were brought into the proper re-
lation one with another. The room
was a unit in which there was no jar
ring note.
Were you to enter this home, you
would be conscious of the charm
which it exerts. You would love the
faded blue Grapes and the soft CLEAN
Of the polished mahogany in the gate
leg table. You would thrill over the
old hooked rugs on the floors. You
would notice the brass candlesticks on
the mantel. You might even remark
that the fireplace was lovely, but I'M
less your hostess took you into her
confidence you would never know that
1t was a sham, hiding the skeleton Of
that perfect room.

VETERAN JUDGE GIVES
FACTS in. HIS CASE

Honorable A. p. Tarbox, distln-
guished lawyer and Judge, residing at
PIT West 23rd ST., University Place,
Neb., lends his name to further the
cause of Tanlac, the famous treatment
that has proved of such great benefit
to him.
IF anybody knows what Tanlac will
do" recently said Judge Tarbox, ut is
me, for the medicine has kept me on
my feet and able to work for the past
two years."
Judge Tarbox has been a member of
the bar since early manhood and has
practiced law in Illinois, Nebraska and
Oklahoma for more than half CEN
fury. He is charter member of Far
ragut Post, Lincoln, G. A. R., and also
prominent in fraternal order circles.
Speaking further of his experience
with Tanlac, Judge Tarbox said:
Stomach trouble had been the bane
of my existence even before the Civil
War. Indigestion such as I had is
about the worst enemy person could

Automobile Tax Receipts Drop.

Automobile Tax Receipts Drop.
Motor vehicle license and gasoline
tax receipts for the first quarter Of the
year were $471,132 below those for the
first three months of 1928, according
to figures just made public by John N.
Mackall, chairman of the State Roads
Commission.
He said that the complete figures for
April, when they become available,
will show an increase in this deficit,
but he expects the gasoline tax re-
turns during the summer months,
when motoring is heaviest, to more
than make it up.
April registration fees totaled only
$140,685 this year, as compared with
$426,622 last April, falling off Of
$285,937. Mr.. Mackall explained that
this decrease is accounted for by the
fact that last year the registration fee
was less for three-quarters of the year
than for the full year and consequent
ly automobile owners who did not use
their cars during the winter months
waited until April to take out their
licenses. This year the registration
fee is 80 cents horsepower for the
full year or any part thereof. Con.
sequently more motorists bought their
license plates during the first quarter,
he said.
While the gasoline tax figures for
April of this year have not been tabu'
lated they will not make up for this
loss in registration fees, he stated.
The funds available for road main
tenance have not been diminished by
the full amount of the difference be,
tween this years receipts, Mr.. Mackall
explained, as the gasoline tax of last
year, which amounted to $126,709 for
the first three months, was devoted
entirely to making up deficits which
had accrued in preceding years.
Up to April the 2-cent gasoline tas
had not returned to the State twice
as much money as did the 1-cent taS
Of last year, the figures show, but Mr.
Mackall believes that for the rest Of
the year it will.

Postal Employees To Get Saturday Half
Holidays.


Postal employees in Baltimore, num-
bering about 1900, will be affected by
an order issued by Harry S. New,
Postmaster-General, which authorizes
the granting of Saturday half holiday
to postal workers throughout the coun-
try from June IA to September 10.
Benjamin F. Woelper, Jr., Post
master, said that all classes of postal
employees here would benefit by the
order.
Regulations heretofore have pre-
vented postmasters from allowing en-.
ployes any interval off duty on Satur-
days during the warm weather. The
Postmaster-General believes the new
move will result in no curtailment of
the postal service and will be of no
cost to the Government.
