STOP RICHIE MOVEMENT

Baltimore politicians are out with
stop Richie" movement, which
is designed to sweep the State and
apply the acid test to the fourth
term aspirations of Governor Ritch-
lie. Howard W.. Jaskson and How
ard Bruce on Friday publicly an
nounced unconditional support of
the Gubernatorial candidacy of
David G. Mcintosh, who threw his
hat into the ring on Thursday night.
Developments in the drive being
made within the Democratic party
to block Governor Richie came rap
idly, with the movement reaching
it's climax in the definite announce
ments that both the former Mayor
of Baltimore, Mr.. Jackson, and the
former Democratic National Com
-mitteeman, Mr.. Bruce, were ready
to take up the cudgels against the
leader of the party in Maryland.
Neither the announcement of Mr..
Jackson nor that of Mr.. Bruce
aroused surprise in political circles,
where it has been known for several
weeks that the Baltimore city leader
was maneuvering to block the fourth
term aspirations of the Governor,
and that Mr.. Bruce had told Mr..
Richie fatty he was opposed to him

penitentiary has been Indefinitely
postponed by the State Board DIT
Welfare. Opposition has developed
to every one of the several sites CON

Frederick county, seems most likely
to be selected.
Before taking final action, how
ever, the Lime Kim site, reported
favorably by DR.. Edward H. Wat
son, of the State Geological Survey,
will be given further inspection.
According to Governor Richie, la
site suitable for the prison will be in
locality where the least opposition
is raised by the residents. He said
it was possible that site which the
board has not yet considered might
be selected.
There are five locations. two in

Peculiar Beauty Culture

Startling color effects are achieved
by the women in parts of the Solomon
islands. They bleach their kinky hair
white with paste made from coral
lime. An arch of lime is applied over
each eyebrow. Straight lines of LIME
cross each cheek and meet at the chin.
Big ears are considered beautiful
on the island of BOrneo in the Dutch
East Indies. The women insert heavy
rings in the lobes of their ears until
they gradually yield to the weight and
assume the desired character of long
loops. These often hang below the
shoulder, and the beauties adorn them
with heavy rings.-National Geograph-

Lies Happiness Found
in "Doing Unto Others"

An old man who had met life SER
enely and TRANQUILITY for more than
eighty years was asked the secret of
his cheerfuness. He answered in four
words: thinking of other folks.
. You can't travel very far in
this world" he explained, without
finding that your path is all tangled
up with other folks paths. Some peo-
pie think that If they can only travel
their paths without getting hurt them
selves, they're going to be happy.
"But there's more to 1t than that.
When you've learned to dodge a col
lision, not because you're afraid Of
getting hurt yourself, but because
you're afraid of hurting the other fell
low, you're getting near to happiness.
But when you arrive at a point where
it's genuine pleasure never to cause
grief to another living soul you're still
closer. In other words, when you get
so far that it's joy to you just to
make others happy, you're about there
yourself"-Great Thoughts (London).

The project was strongly urged BY a

The hearing was called primarily

Worlds Great Debt to
Peruvian Guano Bird

One Of the most valuable birds in
the world is probably the Peruvian
guano bird 1t exists in countless
millions in the uninhabited islands on
the coast of Peru and it Is stated that
some hundred millions pounds worth
of fertilizer, 80 times as strong as
barnyard manure. have been obtained
from one station alone. The deposits
there are some two feet thick, and
extend over great areas.
Why the birds should be more
numerous there than in other parts of
the world is not easy to say. 1t has
been explained that current flows
along the west coast OF South America
keeping that section cool and hence
suited to the habitat Of myriads of
small fish. BY fortunate cOinci-
dence the birds congregate here, and
the bare islands in the vicinity form
centers where the invaluable fertilizer
is deposited in vast level tracts, from
whence it may be dug out and trans
ported.
