OLD MARRIAGE LICENSES COM.
PILED

The Captain jeremiah Baker
Chapter, Daughters Of the American
Revolution, have copied the earliest
marriage licenses recorded in Cecil
county, Md. Dating July 1777-
1910, and had them printed and
bound. The book is indexed and
printed clearly on good paper.
One of the finest pictures ever
taken of the Cecil County Court
House, adorns the book.
The Chapter offers the book for
sale. in order to help fdefray the
cost of publishing.
The old volume in which the mar
riage licenses are recorded is fast
crumbling to pieces. and in some
places the ink is SO faded as to be
barely legible.
The main thought of the Chapter
was the preservation of the record.
Few counties in the United States
have earlier marriage license rec

Maryland State Senator Harry 0.
Levin, Fourth Congressional dis
trict says he is contemplating the
presentation in the next Legislature
of an amendment to the State eIec-

placing Of names Of Presidential
electors on the ballot. This prac-
tice has been discarded in many
states, he explained.
Observations during ballot count
ing in Presidential elections prove
that not only does the necessity OF
toliying the electors waste time Du,
increases chances OF error by cleo
ton officials. Senator Levin added

 On his flight. which ended last night at 11:55 eastern daylight time, he fell almost 20 hours short of the worlds endurance record He was in the air S5 hours, 25 min Utes and 59 seconds.
 However, he set a new record for sustained flight, hettcring by almost two hours the mark set by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh in his flight 10 Paris last May.
 Thomas Was grogsy when he landed but quickly recovered and appeared little the worse for his long siege without sleep.
 Until the mishap occurred he had appeared well on his way, 10 a new record, his plane functioning smoothly and with only the minor mishaps of a lost radio aerial and . broken gas gauge to bother him.

But later a message said his radio was so weak he could hardly hear and it was then noticed that his aerial had been carried away.
