MARYLAND TO VOTE ON
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Governor Orders Referendum on
Whether State SOlons Should
Get $500 Per Day

A proclamation ordering a refer
endum in the November election on
the question as to whether members
of the Maryland Legislature should
be paid SIS day for their 90-day ser
vice once every two years in the leg
islative halls was signed Tuesday by
Governor Richie at Annapolis.
Members of both the State Senate
and House of Delegates now receive
IS day, and at the last session of the
legislature a bill was passed by both
branches providing for the increase
to SIS. The measure necessarily must
be put on the ballots for decision of
the voters, as under present statutes
legislators cannot raise their own sal
airy without first gaining popular APP
prevail through the votes of the peo-
pie.
Under the proposals the legislators
each would receive $3.50 in place Of
the present $3.50 for the 90-day ses-
sion. and would bring the total state
delegates from $62,25O to $199, $50.
This amount includes % senators and
1T delegates and does not take in the
several officers of the assembly.
Expenses More Than Salary.
At the last session, the argument
was advanced in favor of passage OF
the bill that expenses of the legisla-
tors far exceeded the amount the
state allowed them to attend the 90
day conclave, as many of the solons
from the Eastern Shore and the far
western portion of the State were
forced to live in Annapolis while the
assembly was in session.
Governor Richie. also ordered re-
gional referendums on $4,000
school building proposition in How
ard county; one which would increase
the salaries of the authorities in Anne
Arundel county, and another which
provided for an increase in the salary
of the treasurer of Somerset county.

THIRD LIGHT OF SERIES
WAS PLACED ON MONDAY
Will Operate To Speed Traffic
Ordinance To Be Enforced

The third of series of traffic sig
nal lights to be installed on the streets
Of the city was placed at the corner of
Alder and Third streets on Monday
of the present week, thus facilitating
traffic conditions there, which is prob
ably the busiest corner in Oakland.
The light is suspended from cable
anchored to a pole on one side of the
street and to a messenger wire diago
nally across the street in front of the
postoffice building.
To speed traffic to its capacity on
Third street the newly erected signal
will operate simultaneously with the
light at the corner of Third and Oak
streets and will give ample time for
car to pass beneath both lights while
still on the go" indicator.
At meeting of the Mayor and City
Council Monday evening an ordinance
regulating traffic in the corporate linn
its of town was adopted and put into
effect Immediately after its passage.
Until Monday residents and tourists
were not molested for violating traffic
light signals and according to Mayor
Lawrence NJ. Fraley and others who
have especially noted the movement
of traffic it is not likely that there
will be many violators of the newly
drawn ordinance as the few weeks of
grace" allowed following the placing
of two lights have had the effect of
teaching automobilists what to do as
the stop or go lights go on or off.

Stolen Car Is COnfiscated

Finding a car in the Helbig mill
yard on Green street Saturday night
containing a fve-gallon key of moon
shine, Sheriff Casteel confscated the
car and took the liquor into his keep
ing under a Federal writ and will hold
it pending disposal under rather unu-
sual circumstances.
The identity of the owner of the
car was ascertained through the Of
flee of the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles of Maryland by the markers
displayed on the car and when mott
fled of the confiscation of the car, its
owner, Davis Hardesty, of Hutton,
stated that the car had been stolen
and that the liquor found in it did
not belong to him. The Sheriff, how
ever, was powerless to return the car
to it's owner as it was then in the
possession of Federal authorities. 1t
is not known, according to the Sheriff,
what the outcome of the case may be.
When the officer went toward the
car, after having been notified
that a number of men had gath
cred about it and that their actions
were suspicious, the men all ran and
no arrests were made at the time, but
at this time the officers have some ev-
idence in their possession that may
lead not only to the arrest of the per-
son who stole the car but also the
taking into custody of the person who
owned the liquor and who was dispos-
ing of it in public.

LOCAL MAN IS VICTIM OF
A HIT AND RUN DRIVER
George F. Moon Dies of Internal
Injuries Following His Being
Run Down Near His Home

Lingering for four days after hav-
ing suffered internal injuries when
struck by hit-and-run driver We'd
nesday night of last week, George F.
Moon died at his home in Rose Dale,
the southwest suburb of Oakland, on
Sunday afternoon. The deceased was
aged 81 years.
Returning to his home about 1890
o'clock the night of the occurrence
from the home of Bruce burst. who
was neighbor and who has since
died, Mr.. Moon was struck by pass
ing automobile when he was within
two hundred feet of his home and was
dragged approximately 80 feet and
rolled onto culvert. Besides being
injured internally, Mr.. Moon suffered
badly mangled leg and foot, one of
his toes being in such condition that
it had to be amputated
After being hit by the automobile,
Mr.. Moon laid unconsciously for near
Iy two hours and after having re-
gained consciousness he was unable to
summon assistance. He was found
by his son who was returning to his
home in company with companion at
1890 O'Clock and who carried him into
the house where he remained in a con-
scious state until he died at sos
O'Clock Sunday afternoon
The unknown driver of the automo-
bile failed to stop his machine after
having run the unfortunate man
down, and according to a number of
people residing in the neighborhood it
is evident that he was aware of strik-
ing Mr.. Moon because marks on the
road showed that he had swerved his
car after it had struck. According to
other neighbors of the deceased man
ne was walking at least two feet off
the concrete, but due to the heavy fog
which prevailed along that stretch of
the highway that night, the driver
was unable to see him and possibly
did not feel the impact when the ac-
cident occurred.
For the past five years Mr.. Moon
has been employed by the T. D. Clair
borne Construction Company, road
contractors, during the road building
season, and at other times was en-
ployed locally as laborer.
Mr.. Moon is survived by his widow
and five children, namely: Charles
Moon and Mrs. Oscar Liller, both of
Keyser, W. Va; Robert, Willard and
Bernard, all at home. He is also sur
vived by three brothers and three sis
ters: Harry, Ellsworth and Roy Moon,
of Sunnyside; Mrs. Ida Sachs, of Bal
timre; Mrs. R. O. Winters, of Oak
land, and Mrs. Savilla Sanders, of
Sunnyside.
The deceased was a son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Moon, of near
Sunnyside.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon with services conducted in
st. Johns Lutheran church at Red
House, the Rev. Walter E. Waybright
officiating. Interment was made in
the churchyard.

Before You Sue.

Always pay your bills before you
sue. If the dress is wrongly made. or
the car imperfect. or the radio ailing,
pay for them just the same. Your case
in court will be that much stronger If
you pay your bills. 50 that a clear claim
for relief or damages or allowance may
be made.
Recently there was a suit in court
over services rendered by professional
woman. Her client had refused to pay
the bill. claiming an overcharge. The
case came to court and the professional
woman won the suit. because 1t looked
like an attempt on the part of her client
to reduce an honest charge.
Her refusal to pay appeared to be
an attempt to intinidate the profess
sional woman into lowering her charge.
We forget sometimes that justice
looks at both sides of the question, and
our side may look bit different to an
impartial observer. 1t Is probably true
we all go into court convinced We are
right This alone must indicate there
are two sides to the question.
Before going into court make sure
you have a case. Go to an attorney
who will advise you honestly If you
have no case. 1t will save you great
deal of money to know the fact before
hand
Before you sue make certain the law
is on your side. Legally one may not
be able to collect what seems to b. an
honest debt, or to get relief for dam

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 20, 1876.-Differences hav-
ing arisen between the Democratic
leaders in the District of Columbia over
the proposed celebration of the Demo-
cratic victory" in the presidential elec-
ton earlier this month, it now seems
at least on a large scale, until 1t is
known for certain whether Gov. Tilden,
the Democratic nominee, or Gov. Hayes,
the Republican nominee, has been elect
ed by the people of the various States.
The Tilden and Hendricks Reform
Club of Washington has been plan
ming a celebration, but 1t now develops
that the local Jackson Democratic AS
ISOLATION has declined to participate
until the election contest is settled.
The election muddle continues to
grow more complicated and the out
come is still in doubt, although the Re-
publicans claim that on the face OF the
returns Hayes has been elected by at
least majority in the electoral college.
Today a claim was set up by the
Republicans that both of the Demo-
cratic electorS-at-large in Connecticut
are ineligible on the ground OF holding
Federal offices. The Democratic man
stoutly deny there is any foundation
for such 6 claim.
Lates5 reports from South Carolina
are that the Democrats have won con-
troI of the State Legislature there by a
majority of l vote and that probably
the State has gone for Tilden for
President.
The election board which is canvass
ing the returns in Louisiana is in SeS-
sion at New Orleans, while dense crowds
wait outside of the building, according
to reports received here today. Only
members of the press and persons hav-
ing official business in the board room
are being admitted,
The attorneys for the Democratic
managers have met in Florida, accord
ing to word received here today, and
applied to Judge White of the Circuit
Court for an order restraining the Gov
ernor of Florida from canvassing the
vote or issuing a certificate to any pres
| idential elector unless by order of the
regularly appointed board of canvassers
| They also applied for a mandamus
order directing the board to proceed al
once to canvass the returns. Judge
White granted both requests temporar-
| lily until cause shall be shown as to
whether or not they should be made
permanent.
"The President has a Democratic
precedent for bringing troops here
now" said an unnamed high Govern
ment Official" according to the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
World, who telegraphed this statement
to his paper today,
He referred to the ordering of troops
to Washington after the first election
of President Lincoln lust prior to the
outbreak of the late Civil War.

Dressing the Back Hair.

The problem of dressing the back
hair was greatly simplified by the
shingle bob, but now that many girls
and women are wearing their hair
long, its arrangement behind becomes
more important. Some sort of knot or
coil must be arranged at the back of the
head.
L am going to describe for you TODAY
severai lays of dressing back hair. The
first point is to have a firm foundation
for the chignon in whatever style is
selected. Begin by dividing the back
hair from the front. This may be done
by running circular part round the
back of the head. (A) Divide out a
small strand of hair about one-eightil
of an inch wide and wind it around the
rest of the back hair. Now insert a
short hairpin and weave the ends of the
small strand of hair around the ends
of the hairpin to secure it firmly. Have

vided into five or six lands Roll up
each strand. set it up on end and secure
it with two hairpiHs. TIE; gives the
effect of sculpture cnrls and is pleas
ing variation from the usual clusters of

The French twist that is so Suite
for hair that is not very lo---~ IS made
by gathering the hair at the back and
folding it over in vertical roll. The
ends of hair are twisted tightly, turned
downward and twisted under the ve--
tical roll Co.
The placing of the coils or puffs is
important Coiffures today are dressed
close to the head. so that its natural
contour is not distorted. Gone are the
days when the hair-dressers built out
the hair so that milady's head seemed
to be disproportionately large. If the
hair is too thick. it should be thinned
out, so that it may be modishly dressed.

then twist and coil 1t in figure
across the back of the neck Insert q

Another way to dress back hair Is to
divide it into two equal strands after
securing it with the hairpin as de-
scribed above. Twist each coil sep
arately. Make loop of the right
strand. with the lower end passing
under the upper part of the strand
Now pull the twisted left-hand strand
through this loop, let 1t cross over to
the left and loop upward on that side.
Bring the end over the upper part of
the righthand strand and into the right
loop again from the under side. This
makes complicated twist. something
like pretzel in shape. (B) Pin it
