BALTIMORE, May 5.-Judge Morris
A. Soper, in the United States Dis
trict Court, yesterday advised District
Attorney Amos w. w. Woodcock to
change the indictment of the several
officials of the Maryland Drug and
Chemical Co. to conform more closely
with the law, so as to avoid any dis
pute over technicalities.
This action came as the result of
petitions filed by Winfield Jones and
Joseph Lerner, two of the officials,
requesting Judge Soper to quash the
indictments against them on the
ground that the compounds sold by
their company were not suitable for
beverage purposes. The judge dis
missed the petition of Jones and held
that of Lerner's under advisement.
The Indictment against the officials
reads that they are charged with
conspiracy to sell and buy" Judge
Soper .old Mr. Woodcock that this is
a double indictment and is subject to
objections. He advised him TO change
it to either conspiracy to sell or
conspiracy to buy.

ELECTRIC LINES CARRIED
100000, 900 IN 1924
Passenger Revenue Declined l Per

Last Summer.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 5.-America in
1924 took approximately Is 900 900 900
rides on electric railways in various
forms of local transportation, or about
las rides for each inhabitant of the
United States, it is shown in figures
published yesterday by the American
Electric Railway Association, cover
ing properties representing S5 per
cent of the revenue produced by such
carriers. This is a decrease of about
l per cent from the record figures
for 1923.
The compilation shows that for the
same period such basic industries as
iron and steel, automobiles and steam
railways fell much farther behind
their 1928 figures. The l per cent
loss for the electric carriers is blamed
on slump in the Summer of 1924.

but people who prefer to be known as Christians rather than as Xians should keep Christmas sacredly known by it's right name so that none ol it's significance be lost. It might be O. K. in shorthand to use X to designate Christ; but as long as we're not writing shorthand, it's neither nice, necessary nor appropriate. Let's forget the lazy, irreve. rent abbreviate mixture o1 Grecian symbolism and Saxon suffixism and stick to Christian English. It's Christmas we are preparing to celebrate. IL hasn't any other name. Don | write it Xmas" Don't call it Ecksmas.
 Newspapers are guilty of the malpractice chiefly by omis- sion rather than commission. It's in the advertising columns that Xmas most frequently ap> pears. But the newspapers can correct that easily enough. Ed itors contemplating editorial calls to the public for elimi- nation of the undignified X are cautioned to see that their newspapers in entirety set the example. Don't permit a repe tition of what happened last year in one newspaper. The editor published an editorial calling for the public execut- ion of the X in Xmas. The edi- torial was very we'll received by readers. Some of them said 70 writing letters of common lation. But advertising in the next days issue had Xmas 5meared all over every page.
 Exeunt X! It's a bad habit; help to correct it.

The days of the week are known by proper names. Holi- lays and holy days alike bear names that are pregnant with meaning. They are neither numbered nor lettered in the order of their occurrence or for any other reason. There ls one outstanding exception. One day-the day of all days in each year-is sadly miscalled, disgracefully designated. It's Ip to the newspapers to cor, rect the evil that is crowded into that one little expression i:
 XMAS"
 It's bad enough for Christmas to be written Xmas on any flimsy pretext; but now, large iy through free use of the abortive abbreviation in news papers-chiefly in advertisi- ing-that day that is so dear to us is being given widespread pronunciation in accordance with it's shortened spelling. Christmas Spirit doesn't mean near so much when it is called Ecksmas Spirit. The K" is oorrowed-or stolen from the Greek, in which language it is a symbol equivalent to the name of the Saviour.
 X in algebra equals the un- known. Perhaps it's all right for unbelievers to whom Chrisl is unknown to call it Xmas ];
