REPEAT PUPILS
DISCOURAGED

Although some of the counties
in Maryland have had to curtail
requests for postgraduate courses
because of the necessity for cut
ting down expenses, Montgomery
county is not affected by this pol
icy and is taking care of more
than 10 graduates. DR.. Edwin w.
Broome, superintendent of schools,
said today.
A notice to counties that the
State does not wish to increase ex-
penSeS on account of students re-
turning to high school after they
have finished the required courses
has been sent out by the State.
The State superintendent says
that while conditions of unem-
ployment are such as to cause
many persons to continue their
schooling, and that while the
school department is in sympathy
with the move, it must look to its
budget.
Montgomery county does not
share any of the money from the
Staate equalization fund, from
which counties draw when they
find themselves financially unable
to keep up with the minimum pro-
gram required by the State.

hind Mayor John Boyd Thacher,

A typical wet-dry fight is being
staged in the Oneida -Herkimer
district, where Representative
Frederick VI. Davenport, dry Re
publican, is being opposed for the

lei F. Strobel. of Herkimer. In his
campaign, Stro5el characterized
the Eighteenth amendment las
the most un1. Institutional amend
ment which the United States
Supreme Court ever held consti-
tutional."
Representative Frank Crowther,
dry Republican is opposed by
John Barnes. Amsterdam banker.
The latter is running on a plank
demanding immediate repeal Of
the Eighteenth amc n dment.

WET. TREND
IN STATES

New fuel was tossed into the
wet-and-dry controversy today by
the claim of F. Scott Mcbride,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, that efforts to submit the
Eighteenth Amendment for revi-

Congress.
The statement of Mcbride was
issued following a tour in The
middle West and survey of the
results in recent primaries.
He took sharp issue with wet
leaders who maintain the pri-
maries have shown a distinct
trend for both repeal of the
amendment and modification of
the Volstead act. He said:
with only three primaries
remaining, it now appears Ger.

a resolution to modify the
Eighteenth Amendment. This
conclusion Is based on the
failure of the vets to defeat or
replace a Sufflclent numDer OIL

Charging that liquor advocates
are seeking to use party pressure
to bring about repeal, Mcbride
said the drys take the stand that
conventions can not bind candi-
dates on the liquor issue.
McBride's claim was disputed
by Rufus S. Lusk, legislative
agent of the Crusaders. He said

r m experience
that when Bert Smell says yes he
means yes, and when he says no" he
means exactly that.
He was the grufIest of the famous
triumvirate of "Longworth, Tilson and
Shell" and at times, perhaps, the most
disagreeable. But they all knew and
trusted him. They do now as their
leader.
Smell is not the flashy type Of leader.
That's not his way of doing things. OF
course, during the days that this Con-
gress has been in session nothing has
occurred on the floor Of the house which
made 1t necessary for him to jump in
and attempt to save the day"
That will come later in the session.
Smell prefers to anticipate emergencies
and prepare for them. That Is the rea-
son he has designated certain Repub-
licans to make specially of certain
subjects.
He wants q ready reply to every at
tack the Democrats make. And he
wants the Republican who makes that
reply to know what 1t is all about.
How we'll this works out has been
shown In at least two instances. When
McFadden OF Pennsylvania made his
charges against the President during
debate on the moratorium, Chiperfeld
of Illinois Immediately. came to the
Presidents defense. Smell had ordered
Chiperfield to be on the floor and ready.
Later he heard that Democratic at
tack on the Farm Board was in the
