STATE CAPITOL
To GET PAINT

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Sept. 7.-An-
nouncement that Maryland's ITO
year-old State House was to be
cleaned up and it's exterior wood
work painted, has resulted in Gov
ernor Ritchie being deluged with
letters and telephone calls from
persons who fear the building Will
lose much of its air Of antiquity
in the process.
Some of the old brickwork will
be pointed up" also, it was
stated by John R. Phipps, superlrl-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds. He explained that by
pointing up he meant that
crumbling mortar would be re-
placed by fresh mortar on the old
section Of the State House.
Fears of those who believe the
ancient appearance of the build
ing, the oldest governmental struc-
ture of it's kind in the United
States, will be destroyed, were al
leviated by Superintendent Phipps,
who said the work would be done
in such a way as not to alter its
appearance of age or accentuate
the difference between the old
part, begun in 1850, or the new
addition made in the present CEN
tury.
The work will be started about

No Freedom From Responsibility
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

had millions are not thinking OF the
responsibilities, but of the power to do
what they would like to without tnougnt
Of the cost. It Is an tnexoraole Irutn
however, that power and responsibility
are always linked together.
It Is well, therefore. for those OF us
who are not millionaireS to give pass
ing thought to this truth when we WISH
we had q million dollars. 1t helps us
to be satisfied with our lot when we
appreciate that It is not without It's
own, peculiar blessings. The worries OF
money are carried to the extreme by the
originator OF the expression, Blessed
be nothing" It was in a moment OF
great responsibility when the riches
were more of perplexity than pleas
ure, that such a wish could have been
spoken in sincerity.
Few persons crave responsibility, yet
no normal adult is entirely free from
them. The more we have the more re-
sponsibilities there are to shoulder. Few
persons with money suddenly thrust
upon them can assume the responsible
ties of millionaires without running the
risk of being reduced to moderate means
within a surprisingly short time.
OF course, we think we could shift
the responsibilities to the shoulders OF
another person, but that other person
would have to consult us at times, and
would refuse to take all the response
bilitieS without our knowing about in
vestments and conSenting to his actions.
If our decisions were not wise. he could
not be blamed or censured. So the en-
tire freedom from responsibility can
scarcely exist even in such instances.
