FIREWORKS STANDS
VOTED TO SAVELOSS
Thousands of Dollars De-
CIared to Be Invested
in Stock.
BY GEORGE PORTER.
stsr Correspondent of The star

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June 18.
-UnWillingness to be the direct cause
of a number of merchants losing several
thousand dollars invested in fireworks
yesterday was given by Irving c. Root,
chief engineer of the Maryland Ma
tional Park and Planning Commission,
as the reason why that commission has
approved Is applications for temporary
fireworks stands in Prince Georges
County, two of which are in residential
areas.
The explanation was received by
James G. Blackwell, county clerk. who
in behalf of the Prince Georges County
Commissioners, had endeavored TO learn
the reason for the Park Commissions
action as there had been considerable
complaint in the county against the
stands, and it was understood that ap-
plicationS to erect them would be dis
approved,
Unfamiliar With Laws.
Mr. Root explained that few persons
were familiar with the operation of the
new laws and that the fireworks mer-
chants, believing they would be per-
mitted to build stands as in former
years, placed their orders for stock and
made payments which they would be
forced to sacrific If not allowed to pro-
coed with their temporary stands
Under these conditions the Park Com
mission approved 10 applications for
temporary stands for two weeks, begin
ming June 20.
In view of the Park Commissions
action, it is expected the county COM
misSioners will accept their recommen-
dations and issue the permits today
The permits would have been sent out
yesterday, but, following conference
with a member of the board. Blackwell
was instructed to delay the issuance
pending consideration of the matter by
the county heads at their weekly Ses-
sion today, so that all might understand
the situation. The total cost of all the
Is stands will be only $825, according
to the estimates in the applications.
Board Opposed to Stand.
According to Mr.. Root, the Park Com
mission is definitely opposed to tenn
porary roadside stands, and in future
years will take steps to see that proper
restrictions" are enforced.
The two stands in residential zones
approved are in Cedarcroft and Brent
wood. The former is on Rhode Island
avenue between Thirty-ninth street and
Elkridge avenue, and the latter on
Queens Chapel road near the District
line.
All of the other stands are on the
Baltimore Boulevard, in or near Colmaf
Manor or Cottage City, with the ex-
ception of one on Barney street in Cot
tage City.
temporary stands will be filed with the
Park and Planning Commission for
consideration at its meeting Thurs
day night. and these. too, it was indi-
Gated, will be granted temporary per-
mitS.

The state Anti Saloon League ia
the staunchest champion OF the
code.
Amending the code is bothering
lawmakers. The governor desires
to classify the crimes that are pun
ishable with life terms. or exempt
such offenses as liquor handling
and alimony lodging.
The section under consideration
reads:
Amy person who. after having
been three times convicted within
this state of felonies. or attempts
to commit felonies. or under the
law of any other state. government
or country. OF crimes which II COM
mitted in this state would be fell
onies, commits felony within this
state. must be sentenced upon con-
viction of such fourth or subse-
quent offense to Imprisonment in
a state prison for the term Of his
natural life."
The code is retroactive: life for
a fourth offense even though the
other three crimes were committed
before the law was enacted.
