ONLY SEVEN APPLY FOR
LICENSES DURING WEEK
Small Number of Permits Are
Granted at Local Bureau

Although the number of marriage
licenses issued during the month of
January has always been low, what
is believed to be the lowest figure
during any one week, was issued dur
ing the past week, ending Monday at
noon, when only seven applicants pre-
sented themselves at the Office of Mr..
E. 2. Tower, clerk of the Circuit
court.
If the present average were carried
out for the entire month January,
1929, would have 40 applications
granted, figure that hasn't been as
ISOLATED with marriage licenses at the
Court House in Oakland for a number
of years.
Fifty-nine licenses were granted
last year for the month of January,
while the highest number for this
particular month was granted in 1925
when 76 were issued.
January, February and March are

uty clerk at the Clerks office said
Monday.
Those applying for the coveted pa

OVER $500 CHILDREN WERE
TESTED AT CONFERENCES
Ranged in Age from Babes to
Older Brothers and Sisters

Over $500 children, ranging in age
from babies a few months old to their
older brothers and sisters who were
getting ready for admission to school,
were given a health examination at
the child health conferences held
throughout the counties during 1928,
under the joint direction of the local
health officer and the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health. A report of each examina-
ton was sent to the family physician.
There were 404 conferences, every one
of the counties being represented.
tuberculosis Clinics.
Under the joint direction of the
State Department of Health and the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
chest clinics for the examination of
persons showing symptoms of tuber-
culosis were held throughout the
counties during 1928.
Over $50 clinics were held, an av-
erage of 81 each month, and cover
ing every section of the State. Over
5000 persons were examined, more
than 80 per cent of the total being re-
ferred to the clinics by their own ply
sicians.
Pasteur Treatments.
Over $50 persons who had been bit
ten by rabid or vicious animals were
given the Pasteur treatment as pre-
ventive against rabies (hydropho-
bia) in 1928. Of that number, 100
were treated at the headquarters OF
the State Department of Health, in
Baltimore, by the Chief of the Pas
teur Division, DR.. C. W. G. Rohrer; so
were given whatever emergency aid
was necessary and were referred to
the family physicians for the compile
ton of the treatments.
There were $50 additional appli-
cants who had been bitten or other
wise injured by vicious animals fol
whom the Pasteur treatment was
found to be unnecessary, as the ami.
mails by which they were injured were
found to be normal after they haC
been kept for observation for the re-
quired length of time by the State OF
Baltimore City Departments OF
Health or by the State Board of Ag-
riculture.
Over 220 animals-20O dogs, Il
cats, 2 cows and number of rats
were involved in the injuries to the
men, women and children who applied
for or were given the Pasteur treat.
ments. Laboratory examinations
showed that 35 of the dogs, 2 of tbs
cats and the two cows were rabid
Over 140 of the dogs were found to be
normal after they had been kept un-
der observation for the required
length of time.

may follow or what 1t may 90.
Ninety per cent of the people of
the State are opposed to all radical
changes in laws and customs prevail
ing, and their representatives at the
State House are prepared to carry out
their wishes. They realize that they
are there in representative capacity
that they are at Annapolis to carry
out the popular willard they can be
depended on to do it, as their fathers
have done before them.
Old-Time Lobbyists Gone.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature
at the opening of the session is the
complete absence of the old-time lob
byists-none of them are camped
there, as they have been at all form
er meetings since the Civil War.
1t is true most of them are dead.
but there are few of those who were
called in the olden days petty lar
ceny lobbyists" but there seems to be
little left for them to do of profit
able nature, and those who will admit
that such is their business, complain
that there is nothing doing" and be-
wall the profitable sessions of the
past.
If there is any rear work for the
lobby, there is no open sign of it, and
the picturesque, and interesting char
acters of former generations, who
dealt out champaign and terrapin, not
to mention money and promises, ap-
pear to have gone forever. The usual
corporation bills are no more in evil
dence-the usual prominent attor-
neys." who were here in days past
and gone, Cooking out for interests
of their clients" are conspicuously
absent, and, while occasionally a
lawyer Of eminence may appear on the
scene, he will satisfy himself by max
ing an argument before committee
and then depart for Baltimore.
And the "big games" which were
part of former sessions, are heard of
no more.
There is no appreciate drunken
ness here now, and while possibly a
member may occasionally take drop
or two more than is good for him,
it will be a rare exception to see any,
one under the influence of any sort of
liquor either at the State House or
around the town.
While a large proportion of the
members cannot be said to favor pro-
hibition, there is no doubt but prac-
tically all are really temperate in
their habits, and whatever drinking
may be done, will be moderate in its
character, and none of the former
scandals arising from drunkenness
will be seen at the State House this
winter.
Members Thoroughly Representative.
Taking altogether, the members of
the present legislature are thoroughly
representative of what is best and
most respectable in the citizenship of
the whole State, and Maryland will
probably have no reason to feel
ashamed of them when the final adj
journment takes place and the record
is placed in the historic archives of
the commonwealth.

"I would like to see Mrs. Colfax."
The same colored man who had
driven the carriage had opened the
door. He stood gazing at her; he knew
her, and she knew that he knew her.
Mrs. Colfax is not receiving, man" !"
Shell receive me, or III know why:
Tell her Mrs. Lambert Coltax Is mere.
He wavered, turned, leaving her TO
stand In the veStibule. But Stella was
aroused; she stepped inside and slam
med the front door. When ne came
down again she was at the foot OF the
stairs.
"Mrs. Colfax can't see you"
''Then I'll see her. Stand out Of my
way you-nigger."
But old Ishmael had the bottom step
Of the stairs and he held his position.
I'm going up, tell you"
."Beg pardon, but you're not, mann.
The ladies aren't receiving"
They'll receive plenty from me when
I see them" shouted Stella. But once
more she knew she was beaten, and
once more there was certain dignity
| in her retreat. She went down the
steps, along the drive and out OF the
| gates, quietly and without looking back
although she knew that cold and
hostile eyes were staring at her from
the window behind her.
Stella kept her letter for a week

decided to present it.

She did not know why she wept. The
war to her meant only a series of
dreary dates in a dreary history book.
Yet the sound of the flies and drums,
the sight Of the men who had fought
for those tattered flags, affected her
profoundly. The tears rolled down her
cheeks. She knew nothing of America,
its hopes and aspirations, its enormous
potentialities: later on she was to learn,
to suffer and almost die in the learning,
and out of that, as out of all pain.
something fine was to come. But not
then. Not until years had gone by.
She was alone all day, after that.
Sometimes she sat, after her work was

They seemed to have no meaning for
her. Men were hard and cruel, and
yet they fought wars and died for their
country. Strange inconsistency Chill
dren were born, in pain and sometimes
they died. Then why have to suffer
and bear a child? To what end?
Women loved men, bore their children
did the best they knew how, and lost
them anyhow Why should that be?
She would never marry. She would
look after Stella the rest of her life,
make up to her, If she could. A wave
of love for her mother, of resentment
for what life had done to her, would
fairly shake her.

Stella eyed her, but she said nothing" I"
She secured the position. There were
no mannequins then, slim bits Of girls
delicately made up, on whom even
ordinary garments reflected a part Of
the glamour Of youth. Pine" women
were in demand, full figured, not too
young. They both sold their wares and
exhibited them.
Missile soon left school. She was not
sorry to leave. Her clothes had been
shabby for a long time; her spring
heeled shoes were worn And with the
frank cruelty of youth the other pupils
had increasingly left her alone She

SECOND INSTALLMENT.

Lambert's departure, into grim

ings. and Ellen had to be at work at
7:30. She cooked the breakfast. got
Ellen OF and went to school. At or
thereaboCtS Stella came down, drank
some coffee and then trade the beds.
She seemed to have no plans, no hopes.
Sometimes, but not often, she went to
the market. She carried basket on
her arm, and the touch Of rouge under
her veil was increasingly evident.
But the trips to the market we're dis
quieting to the girls. She spent too
much, for one thing. and also there was
something vaguely mysterious about
them. She had never marketed in the
old days. One day Ellen's oftice was
closed, and she followed Stella at q
distance. She saw her do her buying
and then take up her position at the
curb, as though waiting for something
or somebody.
Ellen waited, and Stella stood there
until an ancient carriage drew up,
driven by a Negro coachman, and there
descended a tall thin old woman in q
Jet dolman and a high black bonnet.
A boy ran out to hold the horses, the
coachman descended with a market
basket and followed his mistress inside.
Stella was about to follow her when
Ellen touched her on the arm.
What are you waiting for, mom?"
Stella started.
I'm not waiting for anything" she
said sharply. What are you doing
here?"
She went home very quietly. Ellen
carrying the basket, but inside the door
she called for MisSie and caught her to
her in a storm of tears. Ellen never
told MisSie about that incident, or that
the old woman was her grandmother,
Mrs. William Colfax.
No letters came from Lambert. He
had left the city. That was all they
knew, and his promises had been as
unreliable as always. For three or four
months a lawyer in town named Mac
Donald paid the rent. Then he notified
Stella that the funds in his hands were
exhausted, and, pending receipt OF
Others, the payments would cease. Stella
made an elaborate toilet-corSet, rouge
and all-and went to see him. But he
could do nothing. He was a gray
haired taciturn man, who had lost an
arm in the war, and he lived not far
away. He was Scot, and every April,
on his birthday, or perhaps on some ma
tional holiday in his native land, he
employed a piper in the Macdonald
plaid to walk up and down the pave
ment in front of his house, bare knees
and all, and to wall deliriously for an
hour or so.

This Strange
Adventure
By Mary Roberts Rinehart
)ne of Misses earliest memories

One OF MISSleS earliest memories
was of that piper.
But his sentiment was apparently
limited to the bagpipes. He disap-
proved of Stella, of her reputed history
Of her emphasized figure, of her unfor-
tunate attempt to charm him. He sat
lingering the safety pin which fastened
his empty sleeve across his breast.
You are a strong woman. Can't
you find anything to do? Why let your
child support you?"
why shouldn't my husband do that?
He is my husband, you know"
II don't even know where he is"
"They know"
Possibly. They have not confided in
me-"
And they'll do nothing?"
"They have very little. Yes, I know,
he said, as Stella made scornful ges-
ture. "They keep q carriage and all
that. But they have certain position
to keep up"
And then Stella forgot herself
Position" she said. Look at my
position. I'm likely to be turned out on
the streets!"
"I don't know much about these mat
ters, but with what is still an excellent
figure ="

To give him his due, he did give her
a letter. What else could he do? There
was no vast eleemosynary machinery
yet devised to help dependent women,
not even an aroused public conscience
to recognize them. They lived their
marrow, despairing lives, died and pass
ed on, unremembered and ungrieved.
Stella walked out with her letter In
her hand, but she did not go home at
once. She walked, in her tight stays,
to an old and handsome part Of the
town. Here. each within its own prop

city: their brick or stone houses ineal
