Girls of Today Leave
Lap Dogs to Old Maids

Croydon, England. Up-to date
girls favor larger dogs, like the Al
satan, believing they harmonic
with fashion, but the old maids and
elderly women still cling to lap
dogs and the toy poodles, say
judges of the Croydon dog show.
The girl of today believes that
her preference for the larger breed
of dogs is an Indication of indie
pendence and strength, the judges
decreed after looking over the ex-
hibits and their mistresses.
One woman judge said: "Alsa
tfans look, and sometimes are,
fierce, but they harmonic with the
present-day fads and styles and
therefore are popular"

The only way to be free of diphthe-
ria is to see that all children of pre-
school age and school age have re-
ceived the toxin-antitoXin or the pre-
venative for diphtheria.
In the past three weeks the people
in Oakland have had this opportunity.
The toxin-antitoxin has been given in
the local schools. The parochial school

receiving the treatment; the grammar
school was 20 per cent, and 25 pre-
school children received it.
This treatment was given in the
local schools by the local physicians,
Drs. Henry McComas, M. G. Hine-
baugh and n. l. Broadwater, with the

THREE COUNTIES TAKEN
FROM STATE DRY UNIT
Garrett, Allegany and Washing
ton Are Placed in Pittsburgh
Unit by Federal Authorities

Maryland's three far western coun-
ties have been taken away from the
States Federal prohibition unit for
purposes of enforcement and added to
the West Virginia-Western Pennsyl-
vania unit, it was announced Monday
by Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, Assis-
tant Secretary of the Treasury in
Charge of Prohibition Enforcement.
The counties are Garrett, Allegany
and Washington, which heretofore
were part of the Baltimore area. The
Washington permitting Office will con-
tinue jurisdiction, however, it was an
nounced.
The order became effective last Sat-
urday.
Enforcement in these counties, ac-
cording to information given out at
the Treasury Department in Washing
ton, will be under the direction of
John B. Pennington, Administrator
for the West Virginia. Western Penn
syIvania unit, with headquarters at
Pittsburgh. Officials said that the
territorial shift was made largely be-
cause of geographical reasons, the
counties falling more naturally into
the territory of the Pittsburgh office.
Changes in personnel, if any are made,
will be handled by Mr.. Pennington, it
was said
News Of the proposed shift, altho
it had been kept a secret in Washing
ton, was not a surprise to the Balti-
more and Maryland enforcement Off
GERS. In the absence of John F. J..
Herbert, deputy prohibition admins
traitor Of the Baltimore office, who
was said to be on an inspection tour
in the Eastern Shore counties, none
Of the others in authority would dis
cuss the matter, stated The Sun on
Tuesday morning, but they admitted
that they had expected the move.
Amos W. W. Woodcock, United
State District Attorney in Baltimore,
said the separation would not embar-
rass his office because the court would
continue to sit at Cumberland to hear
the cases as in the past. Washington
county, which is the nearest county
to Baltimore, and Garrett county, the
most distant from Baltimore, have no
United States Commissioners, but,
Mr.. Woodcock explained, cases origi-
mating in either of these counties are
usually tried in the local courts under
the county option law
Persons arrested for violation of a
Federal statute can demand, how
ever to be taken to the nearest Unit
ed States Commissioner, he exclaimed.
I'm such case, man arrested in
Hagerstown might decline to go to
Cumberland for arrangement, and in
sist upon being taken to Baltimore.
This is the only confusion, if it may
be called such, that l can see in the
new arrangement"

with the presentation of 'The Cat and

was presented by troup of ten play

proved to be as interesting as was

The wisdom of selecting as head of

from black county, a county which

Of some sort, there might be some ex-
cuse for such folly, but he has never

ARREST NEWSBOYS
ON COURT ORDER

Indianapolis. -Four newsboys, rang
ing around Ia years of age, told an
impeachment committee of the In
diana senate that they were arrested
without warrant by Judge Clarence
w. Dearth, of the Delaware circuit
court for selling copies of the Muncie
Post-Democrat, which contained an
attack on the Judge. The boys said
they were warned by Judge Dearth
to desist from selling any more Post
Democrats until he gave them per-
mission. Two of the newsies ignored
the order and were arrested the Sec
ond time.
The impeachment is the elimination
of long fight between the judge and
Editor Dale, of the Muncie paper.
The editor was sentenced to Jail for
contempt of court. On appeal, the
state supreme court ruled that the
truth is no defense for contempt of
court. The editors appeal to the
United States supreme court was
thrown out on a technicality, and he
is now staying in Ohio to escape
Judge Dearth's jurisdiction.
