 Mocker does not bear the charmed life of Spike. But he is a hero. He homed in wonderful time on the Beaumont front, September F. 1918. carrying a message giving the location of several heavy German batteries.
 When he reached American head quarters "onc eye had been de- stroyed by shrapnel and his head was a welter of clotted blood" But the information he brought enabled the American artillery to silence the enemy's guns within 20 minutes and undoubtedly saved many American lives.

Christ Propose Remedy

Christ Propose Remedy
 Senator Ernest w. Christ, leader of the New Britain representation n the 1929 assembly and chairman of the appropriations committee and former member of the lower house, is of the opinion that the validation can be made speedily through a ser ies of bills, each affecting particu- lar group.
 He would have all bills beairng on finance validated under one bill, those touching upon the Judiciary under another. etc.
 In this suggestion, his views do not coincide with those of Ernest Averill, deputy attorney general, who has given an finland opinion that each bill must be again passed sep arately.
 Senator Christ's objection 10 this procedure is the fact that it creates new bills, effective as of the date of passage, while many may have been in force since the date of their sup posed passage and no provision can be made for acts performed in the interim under color of law.
 The senator sees as remedy adoption of the supreme courts sug- gestion of a 10-day recess just be- fore adjournment. His experience with state legislation has convinced him, he said this afternoon, that proper study of the bills cannot be given by the governor in the three

Kirkham Suggests Rc-Hearing
 Judge John H. kirkham. corpora ton counsel, today spoke of the pos sibility of a petition to the supreme court for a re-hearing in the Me Cook case, a procedure which has been followed in important matters in the past.
 While this was mentioned as a possibility, Judge kirkham said the unanimitv of opinion recorded by the judges in the case might dis courage such a petition from the states counsel.
 No difficulty in bringing about a speedy validation is expected by the city's legal adviser, and in the mean while no snags in the functionings of the municipal government need be feared, he treasured.

FIREWORKS STANDS
BANNED NEXT YEAR

Effect on Merchants.
BY GEORGE PORTER.

SIAN Correspondent OF Inc Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, June a.
Although neither the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission nor the Prince Georges County
commissioners felt justified In declining
to issue licenses for temporary fireworks
stands In commercial areas this year,
the stands will not be tolerated next
year, it was announced at the ofice Of
the Prince Georges County commits
sioners today.
Act After Inquiry.
The commissioners, who delayed &C.
cepting the recommendation Of the
park body pending an investigation Of
their own, yesterday started sending
out the permits to merchants in COM
mercial zones after learning, as had
the planning group, that many Of them
had already invested considerable capi-
tai, some over 81 900 in stock which
could only be sold from such stands.
Two applications for permits to erect
stands in residential areas were ap-
proved by the park commission, but re-
Jected by the county heads.
The commissioners declared the
stands were chiefly Objectionable along
the Baltimore Boulevard, as fireworks
bought from them are usually set of
Immediately, startling motorists and in
directly causing accidents.
Thought They Met Law.
County Commissioner Brice Bowie,
who headed the investigation, declared
the merchants were of the opinion that
they had complied with the law when
they secured traders license which
permits them to sell fireworks In the
county, this year being the first time
that a building permit has been re-
quired for structures costing less than
$500.
The commissioner reported that In
Issuing the permits TO those in com
merctal zones, all were advised that no
permits would be issued next year for
stands along the Baltimore Boulevard.
