THOMAS HOOD AND JANE
REYNOLDS

THOMAS HOOD began as humor-,

brated poet. His famous "Song Of the
Shirt" Is an intensely dramatic com
position written in poetic form and is
one Of the first clarion calls of trade
unionism. This letter to Jane Rey-
nOlds is probably the first letter ON
record to combine the widely divergent
arts of love-making and matchmaking,
and 1t Is for this reason that it is pre-
served. On one side is a warm reve-
lation Of Hoods heart and on the re-
verse a long list of Tommy Hoods
latest and gayest riddles. Here is the
letter:
"How delightful II is to please you,

ADOPTION OF
HONOR SYSTEM
DR.. Carey And Dean Make Ples
For It's Establishment
At st. Johns.

Annapolis. Saying that they be-
lieved the adoption of the ''honor sys
tenn" will benefit the institution in
every way, DR.. Enoch B. Carey, presi
dent, and Walter r. Agard, dean, OF
st. Johns College, made a plea for its
establishment by the student body at
coRvocation ceremonies.
The system has not been in effect
for some time. Although its adoption
was suggested several times during
the last year, the students apparently
were not in favor Of it.
"The time has come" DR.. Carey
said, in addressing the students, when
'cribbing' in daily recitations and ex-
aminations must stop"
1t was pointed out that one case
that recently came before the faculty
caused considerable difficulty before
it was adjusted.
DR.. Carey told the students he did
not wish to force the system on them,
but that the matter will be kept before
them for the next five years and more.
The University of Virginia was cited
as one Of the schools in which the
honor code has worked well.
DR.. Agard said the faculty antici-
pates gentlemen's agreement among
the students in the future.

State officials, departments and com
missions will be inspected personally
by Governor Ritchie in series of

desires to see for himself just how
the departments function
Departments in Baltimore to be Wis
tied first include the Police Depart
ment, the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, the Health Department and
the Tobacco Warehouse.
The Governor plans to sit for at
least one session with each of the city
police magistrates and observe the adj
ministration Of everyday justice in the
police courts of the city.
Attendance at hearings of the Pub
lie Service Commission and the Indus
trial Accident Commission also is on
the Governors program.
Traffic Court, the Juvenile Court
and the Peoples Court will be visited.
Il should have made these visits
long ago. the Governor said, "but re-
organization and other work pre-
vented. So far as know. the activi-
ties of the State are going on all right,
but want to go everywhere and see
for myself.
Il am familiar with practically all
Of the State institutions, but / also
want to visit each one of these before
the spring, and inspect present condi-
tions thoroughly. This will include the
Ave State hospitals for the insane, the
two tubercular hospitals, the four nor
NAL schools, the two institutions for
Juvenile delinquents, the two penal in
situations and others"
Sometime before the summer
wish to go over considerable part of
the State roads system, particularly
portions which are not travelled so con-
stantly, or where new roads are
wanted, in order to see actual condi-
tions as to maintenance and construc-
ton needs at first hand, and to hear
at first hand what the people have to
say about them"
The Governors final activity, as the
major task for next year, will be to
work out seafood plans in conjunction
with the Conservation Department. 1t
is his intention to have these plans in
shape before the Legislature meets.

troll Netting To Be Banned.

Annapolis of troll nets has
deeimated the supply of fish in the
Patuxent river, and if continued will
kill off fish there entirely, according
to a report submitted to Swepson
Earle of the State Conservation Com
mission by Oscar Seppee, an expert
of the United States Bureau Of Fish
cries.
The report is based on an expert
mental survey Of the river made
Thursday by Seppee, Commissioners
Earle and Robert Archer. Assistant
Attorney General
Estimates were made by Seppee
that from SIS to 81 per cent. Of all the
small and unstable fish in the river
are caught in these nets and destroyed,
to the end that if the practice of en-
ploying troll nets is continued only a
few years will see the end of fishing in
the river, according to Seppee.
The total catch exceeds $4,000
pounds of fish annually, the report
states.
Commissioner Earle said steps are
to be taken Immediately to halt troll
netting in all Maryland waters.

HOW GREATtMEN
MAKE LOVE
AS REVEALED BY THEIR
LOVE LETTERS
BEETHOVEN AND AMALIE
SEBALD
By JOSEPH KAYE
! By wheeIer syndicale. Inc.l

T UDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN, who
may be considered one Of the
greatest composers of all times, was an
ungainly man and almost ugly. His
temper was hasty. his temperament
uncongenial and added to his other
troubles he became deaf at the height
OF his fame and career. There Is
nothing quite so tragic as deaf COM
poser, q man unable to hear the mas
ter works he produces, and this
worked so upon him that at middle
age he was practically hermit In his
Vienna home. constantly at war with
his servants, scoldins. complaining.
impatient and making himself In
tensely miserable.
Under the circumstances recipro-
cative love was hardly possible for
Beethoven. He surely loved; the full
secrets Of his heart are not revealed
But whether he was actually loved In
return Is problematical, in spite Of
romantic stories to the contrary.
Love letters from Beethoven are
extremely scarce, though he was a
prolific letter writer. AS matter Of
fact amiable letters Of any sort from
him were scarce. There Is, how
ever. small collection of letters
written to Amalie Sebald. vIennese
beauty. which indicate that she was
one who possessed the sealed heart Of
the great genius. Amalie was twenty
five and Beethoven forty-two when
he became enamored Of her. She
later married O Councillor.
The following Is one Of the Amaiie
letters:
September. 1872.
"Dear good Amalie. Since left
you yesterday have become worse,
and since yesterday evening up to
now have not been chile to leave
my bed. wanted to let you have
the news today and then l thought
that should make myself appear too
important, and so did nothing. What
are you thinking about in saying that
you can be nothing to me? We will
talk over that. dear Amalie. when we
are together. have always wished
that my presence might give you rest
and peace. and that you would show
yourself trustful towards me. hope
to be better tomorrow and that there
will still be few hours for US to
spend and enjoy together amid the
beauties of nature. Goodnight,
dear Amalie; many thanks for the
proof Of your kind intentions for your
friend. Beethoven"
The following passage from letter
Beethoven wrote to his pupil. Ferdl-
nand Ries. is explanatory of this cpl
sode:
IAN kind messages to your wife:
unfortunately. have none; I found
one who will probably never be mine:
nevertheless am not on that account.

CANADA TO HAVE
ELECTIONS over
TARIFF ISSUES

TORONTO, Sept. 3O.-The Canadian
elections, to be held October 20, will
revolve around the cd dispute, to have
or not to have protective tariff. The
present liberal government headed by
Mackenzie King is going to the people
because it lacks working majority
against the conservatives and pro
gressives, the latter holding the bal
ance of power The liberals want a
tariff "for revenue only" The con-
servatives want definitely protective
tariff. 9aiii
The progressives, the western farm
ers and petit-bourgeois group, want
the removal of protective duties on
necessaries and instruments of pro-
duction, by which they mean farm
machinery The workers of Canada
are beginning to see that all this
scrapping about tariffs is smoke
screen to blind their own political
consciousness.
