LONDON, March 30. - James
Frederick Stratton was hanged to-
day at Pentonville Prison for the
murder, thirty-six days ago, of his
sweetheart, Daisy May. Americans
in England commented again upon
the speed with which British justice
transports a murderer from freedom

associated with Baltimore finance and
families. With its exceptionally spa
cious and beautiful hotel and summer
cottage settlement, the place seems
an enchanted forest created for the
pleasure and benefit of mankind.
When a train stopped the other day
and radiant girl in cerise frock and
hat ran forward at the station to
greet some arriving friend she made
an unforgettable picture against this
sylvan background where landscape
gardening and primal forest unite to
welcome the summer traveller.
Small wonder that the late Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland spent several
weeks with his bride in one of the cot
tages at Deer Park. Here are found
golf links, swimming pools, tennis
grounds and bowling alleys with a
spacious ballroom at the hotel and a
fine orchestra for dancing. An ada
cent lake is named in honor of Pres
ident Cleveland and fishing and horse
back riding are among the diversions.
Added to the rare climate of Deer
Park is purest water from mountain
springs.
Among The COttagers.
Among old-time owners of cottages
at Deer Park were Josias Pennington,
J. Swan Prick, C. w. Lord, Mayor La
trobe, J. w. Williams, of Phildelph'
whose wife was Miss Keyser, of Balti-
more, and one Of their daughters had
a cottage here for many summers
Mrs. j. X. Mitchell also resided here
and the Garrett family had cottages
in the hotel reservation likewise.
Mrs. A. Nesbit and her daughter
Mrs. Edward Shoemaker, are now &C.
cupying their cottage, which is one OF
the most attractive at Deer Park
Samuel s.. Spencer was one of the
owners of a home at Deer Park, as
was Henry G. Davis, at one time Sen
ator of West Virginia, and candidate
for the office of Vice-President.
President Benjamin Harrison spent
one season at Deer Park, living in the
Spencer cottage, and Senator Stephen
B. Elkins also had his summer home
here, his wife being a daughter OF
Senator Davis.

between Oakland and Deer Park, on

service from East and West.
About 1880, Mountain Lake Park

tells, auditorium, cottages and facili-
ties for recreation. The tract con-
tanned some 800 acres and was laid
out in tree-shaded walks and drives,
with lake for boating.
Many conventions were held here
and Chautauqua courses established
several years ago, largely through the
influence of the late DR.. John F. Gou-
cher, of Baltimore The stockholders
and residents of the vicinity made the
Park and all of its equipment a gift
to the Methodist Episcopal Board of
Missions, that the Methodist Episco-
pal Church might develop the place as
a religious center, especially for the
training of those who feel call to
the foreign mission field of the Meth
odist Episcopal denomination.
The Epworth Leagues of Baltimore
and Pittsburgh are uniting in conduct
ing Epworth League institutes during
the summer months, each league en-
rolling bteween 500 and 600 delegates.
The Women's Missionary Society Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church last
summer conducted its educational
work there in this delightful spot.
Recently canneries for choice peas
and corn were established at Noun
tain Lake Park by the Mount Airy
Canning Company.
Epic of Garrett.
The epic of Garrett county-a book
tucked away somewhere in every homo
of Oakland-is a volume entitled
"Forty-four Years of the Life of a
Hunter" being "reminiscences of Me-
shach Browning, Maryland hunter.
1t is narrative roughly written down
and revised and illustrated by Edward
Stabler, of Sandy Spring, who died
in 1883.
The book has an Introductory by the
latter with commendatory line by
the late Richard Fairall, of Accident,
which in 1859 was in Allegany coun-
ty. According to his own estimate
Meshach Browning had killed from
1900 to 1000 deer and from 800 to
400 bear, about so panthers and cat
amounts, together with scores of Wild
cats and wolves.

production manufacturers get INTO
full swing on their new Jobs.
Dealer organizations will have to be
sampled prior to the national show.
Automobile sales continue to run
light in most sections of the coun.
try, and are below the seasonal
level. This situation is. of course,
not helped by the Ford situation.
While the showing of this car this
week in many of the important
centers of the country will probably
help the present sales condition
somewhat, it is not expected that
the market will show any material
Improvement until after the New
York show. Business is ranging
from fair to good in the grain areas
of the Middle West and cotton sec.
tions of the Southeast. In the ma
Jority of large cities sales are just
lair, with some showing further
easing down tendency.
Truck and bus production and
sales are also down. There is
every indication that they will re-
main at present levels for the
balance of the year.
Manufacturers of parts and ac.
cessories are doing "a healthy vol.
ume of business as the passenger

The pneumatic tire industry is
showing more or less positive signs
of steady improvement and appears
to be definitely on the upswing,
after a slight easing down. The
return of Ford to the rubber
market has greatly benefited this
branch of the industry. Manufac-
turers furnishing original equip
ment rubber are adopting slightly
revised price schedules.

What the public saw was an
automobile as new as the forecasts
and rumors had represented it to
be. They saw bodies with beauty
colors but underneath a superior
design and improved construction.
Few have had an opportunity in
Washington to ride in the new
Ford but those fortunate enough to
get the opportunity are enthusiastic
and claim 1t compares favorably in
performance with much higher
priced class cars Of the day--it has
speed, pickup, flexibility and
power.
Preparation Made Car
What the public did not see,
however. was the six months of
preparation back of the car, which
in magnitude and accomplishment
is unique in world industry. I'm
pressive figures almost without end
could be quoted to illustrate the
magnitude Of Ford's task. There
have been estimates that the job
cost as high as $3.50, 100000 to ac-
complish.
Strange as 1t may seem, however,
Henry Ford did not figure in terms
of millions. He was building a new
creation-a car which would be as
much Of an Improvement of its day,
as the Model T was back in 1908.
These are some of the reasons,
in the opinion of experts, why cost
figures Of the transition from the
Model T to the Model A means
little. In the final analysis, they
say. most Of the expense will be
absorbed in greater production and
in higher plant efficiency. The
maximum production in the days
of Model T was 1000 cars a day.
The reconstructed Ford plants will
have greater capacity than that.
but this will not be reached for
some time: the Icapacity is there
when the market demands indicate.
SSOO,OOO,OOO To Be Spent
Ford estimates the new car will
be responsible for an expenditure
of nearly $500 900, 900 for labor and
material during 1928, and in a state
ment regarding the new car said:

Everyday Law Cases
What Is the Ldt1 OF Usuruf
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Usury is the charging Of a greater
rate of interest on principal loaned
than is allowed by law.
Lawful rates of interest vary in diff
ferent States, the classification being
as follows: 2
In eleven States the lawful rate is
go; in two, TO; in nine, so: in thir.
teen, 1919: in eight, 1870; in five, there
is no limit, any rate agreed upon be-
tween the parties being lawful.
The penalties in different States
follow:
In twenty-five. there is a forfeiture
of all interest when usurious rate
is charged; in ten, the penalty is
double the amount Of interest charged
in two, three times the amount of ex-
cess interest charged; in nine, a for.
fixture of only the excess interest. In
five States, there is no penalty for
charging usurious interest, there be-
ing no limit to the interest to be
charged. In six States, in addition
to the forfeiture of certain amount
of interest, the person charging usury
may also be held on a criminal charge
therefor, the penalty being a fine in
some instances and Imprisonment in
others. In one State there is a for
fixture not only of the entire interest.
but there Is also a forfeiture of 1919
Of the principal sum to the school
fund.
The courts frown upon any schems
or device, however ingenious,
which hides usurious transactions,
and will enforce the penalty when.
upon consideration Of all the facts.
they are certain of a corrupt intent
to violate the usury laws.

Opportunity Day.

It helps us now and then IL we make
| a point of doi-.g just one job at a
time. Today the task Is to try to dis
cover what opportunity the school
offers your child.
| Each child is born into the world an
| individual. In some one way. per-
haps more than one, he is different
from all other children. If he is to
be y useful person. a happy man or a
happy woman. that bit Of difference
must be allowed to grow to its happi-
est and fullest growth. Is the school
M king allowance for that or is it
just making every child who enters it's
doors leave them only in massed
formation, unit in a greater
standardized unit without essential
difference, alike as much as may be
to every other child; still, dull, acqui-
| escent?
1t is good for a child to live with
other children. 1t is good for him
| to know how to live with others and

end. It is economical school admins
| tration to teach as many children the
same thing at the same time as pos
sible There is only one danger: The
individual opportunity that the child
needs to fulfill the promise of his
growth may be lacking.
What chance Is there in your school
| for a child to try to do something he
| thinks he would like to do? Some
| thing nobody told him to do? How
| much chance has he to ask question
| of a teacher and feel that he will be
answered fully, graciously, inspiring
| ly to the end that he may follow his
search still further afield?
If your child happens to be thing
| minded, one of the kind who cannot
| think in terms Of words, but must
handle things to get clear ideas, how
| much chance has he to get things
into his hands and study them?
Maybe he is sitting in the back seat

Or suppose your child is motor.
minded child, who must make things
go before he or she can feel &C.
| quainted with them and make them
| part Of their thought and action?
What opportunity has this kind of
child to make things, do things, expert
ment with things? If he has none,
how does the school serve him? How
| shall he grow?
Does the school offer any chance
| to a. gifted child? One of those who
learns things over night? One Of
| those who have a keen insight into
| fields of work beyond the ordinary
