WHEN MAY WAS QUEEN.

! That. Of course, was in the days
when the first of May was pretty
near a rival, as date for throwing
a big party, to the now more popu-
lar New Yrs. Eve, when, as is well
known, a good deal Of the old Adam
shows up in the most Of us.
Also, in the days Of my childhood,
we used to think considerable about
going out after May-flowers On that
day, chasing the timid wild things to
their liars. slsughtsring them, and
then hanging baskets Of them on the
door knobs Of the neighbours we liked.
This give us kids a lot Of pleasure,
and give the neighbour who got a
basket a little extra work, but |
don't know do the kids hang May
baskets any more. ] know our Junior

plays on our neighbours, why the
neighbours are more likely to do the

!, downstairs they had to move the ic,

comb properly. Then they put the ice
box back in the van again, only tc
move it and the comb back out onto
the sidewalk in order to make a good
place for the dining room table and

grabbed up the comb and give my
single a lick and a promise before
they caught me at it, and says sorry
lady, and tucked it away under the
ice box where the weight would keep
it from getting broken by rafting
around, as the movers explained to
me.
They explained this as the reason
for pretty near everything they did
that it was done SOS things
wouldn't get broke by rafting around.
And they was right, rafting around
wasn't why things got broke, hadder
admit that much. Also I had to ad-
mire the assurance of them movers,
and the deft way they handled my
things, especially my glass and china
wear.
Did they smash the crockery grace

goes. They cracked as many mirrors

Mayor Walkers New Suit.

The mayor of New York will be pre-.
sented with a suit of clothes of gray
homespun cloth by a delegation of
North Carolina boosters" who are
going into the North to tell what most
persons know, that North Carolina Is
quite State. The suit of clothes to
be given the mayor was made by
North Carolina woman mountaineers
in their homes in the Land of the Sky.
There is no doubt that the material
in this suit of clothes is good. It Is
wool and its endurance is believed in.
1t can be worn every day in the year
and will not wear out for years. The
wearing quality of North Carolina
homespun has been tested since that
State was a young colony Of England.

are the first of a series designed
to rid the city of young men who
have no visible means Of support.
This is good move. It should
be continued. There are scores of
youths living in this city today who
are potential if not actual criminals,
but who have not fallen into police
hands simply because they have not
been caught in lawIess acts. They
have no regular occupation They are
not seekers after employment. They
are parasites who seize opportunities
for easy money" just sufficient to
maintain themselves. Some Of them
do a little bootlegging. some engage
at times in "hijacking," or the theft
of illicit liquor cargoes. Some take
part in thieving expedition as occa-
sion offers. Some are supported by
indulgent parents, while others live by
their wits and as a rule with no com.
FUNCTIONS whatever regarding the law
These youths are of no value what
ever in this community. They are a
menace to the peace and security Of
others and they should be either de.
ported or put to work at honest tasks
Unfortunately there is no means Of
registration Of these idlers and hang
ers-on as in other countries, where
complete records are kept Of all indi-
viduals with a view to ascertaining
their relations to the law and to So
ciety.
In former times vagrants who drift.
ed into the city, merely seeking
enough to eat for their sustenance and
some place to sleep while passing
eventually to some other field, were
rounded up and sent to the workhouse
or hustled out Of town. For some
reason or other there are fewer tramps
now on the roads or to be found in
the cities. The problem of making a
living is more easily solved at present.
The real vagrants are we'll dressed
young men who abhor regular employ.

who participate in criminal enter.

who recruit the crook army and who
are menace to the community. There

between Washington and Laurel, as
early as 1878, but in most Of the books
it is set forth that the first Maryland
furnace was the Principle Furnace,
which was built in 1924. That was a
famous furnace for at least a GEN.
tury. The Muirkirk furnace goes
back to 1S47. when 1t was opened by
a member Of the Ellicott family.
About 1860 it was bought by William

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

| washington society at least over a
Crown Prince, since the Ambassador
| IS the personal representative Of the
| re1gning monarch. When the Crown
| Prince Of Sweden was here last June
| that question bobbed up. But the ex-
perts decided that since Sweden was
represented here by a diplomatic rep
resentative who was not of ambas-
| sadorlal rank-a mere minister-the
Crown Prince would outrank him.
| The same situation exists as to Ru-
mania. So Prince Nicolas is sure
of the seat of honor beside Mrs.
! Coolidge.
The Senate seat now occupied by
Dr. Copeland of New York is the real
goal of the political ambitions Of
ogden l.. Mills of New York, accord
ing to Capital political observers. In
accepting the Republican gubernato-
rial nomination In New York, Mills is
leading a forlorn hope. No one can
see the slightest possibility of Mills
defeating Al Smith. Probably Repre-
sentative Mills, in his heart, shares
the common view. But he and his
friends, with the New York senatorial
election in 1928 in view, balanced, on
the one hand, his return to the Ma
Il,
leadership of the New York State bat
tie this year. and decided that the latter
would better serve to put Mills to the
fore in Republican politics in his State
Besides, Senator WadSwOrths political
fortunes are at stake this year, and
rumors are rife that Mills, as reward
for his sacrifice" this year, which it
is anticipated will aid the Wadsworth
cause, will receive the Republican
senatorial nomination two years hence
on silver platter. Senator Copeland,
up for reelection then, the New York
Republicans figure, will be a weak
opponent.
No doubt there will be many New
Workers. who will vote next month for
James w. Wadsworth, jr., the Empire
States present Republican Senator,
now up for reelection, without a full
realization Of his virtues. But, If SO,
it will be through no fault of Henry F.
Holthusen, whose biography of Wads-
worth is just off the press of a leading
New York publishing house, nor the
fault of Elihu Root, who contributes
the preface in the interests of the
cause. The volume is something in
the nature Of q campaign textbook,
though published in conventional form
and to be distributed and sold through
the book trade in the regular way. 1t
presents in chronological order a de-
tailed life story Of New York's senior
United States Senator, and reveals
much about the man that even his
friends did not know. It may be sus-
pected that the emphasis placed on
Wadsworth the dirt farmer and
! Wadswortb the cattleman is for a
purpose. It is true that Senator
