The Electoral College Alumni.
6New York Herald Tribune9

The managers of the Roosevelt inaugural have conceived the novel idea of summoning the Electoral College this year composed almost wholly of Demo- crats) to meet in Washington and do honor to the occasion According to The Associated Press, U will lbe the first time in the Electoral Colleges history
 that it has been called together unoffically in place No doubt The Associated Press is fright; for the odd thing about that famous insti- tuition is the fact that it is not only college, but consttutonally speaking, it is not institu- tion at all and so can hardly be said to possess a history The Electoral College that hoary source lof so much indifferent humor is, as far the IConsttution goes, nonexisent The Presidential el ectors of course provided for in that document, but there is no reference to them as college" or las single group of any sort Indeed, the language lis specific that they must meet "in their respective States and it essential part of the found- CTS pan that they should do This detached and divided situation" Hamilton observed, will expose them much less to heats and ferments which might be communicated from them to the people, than if they were all to be convened at one time, in place." and the device was thus chief fea- ture of that ingenious electoral machinery which, "if it be not perfect is at least excellent"
 At the most, then the electors could be regarded only belonging to many separate colleges there were States The word, however did not appear in use until after 1880 and though by 1845 (ac cording to MT William Tyler Pages researches) it had crept into the statute books and thus acquired ia flavor of the official, the Electoral College itself remains hardly than a phantom creation of popular fancy, signalizng odd perversion of the idea behind the original scheme.
 Alas for the excellence, if not perfection of that monument of eghteenth-century reason The sys- tenn for electing the President-the feature of the constitutional plan which aroused the least loposition at the time as it also the one which was most purely logical construction without basis in experience-Was' the feature which to fail most completely in practice The electoral machinery from the very beginning worked the authors of the Constitution intended Today if the assembly of the Electoral College in place fails to com municate any noticeable heats and ferments' to the people, it will be because the people and the parties communicated so many heats and ferments to the electors that it no longer matters.

came up to the fire. The vicar greeted her; there was an instant's pause and then the vicar spoke again.
 What" asked the vicar. stirring falntly in his chair, what of Mark, lately? Is he still in your house, Farrell, or not?"
 Armitage told them what there was to tell of Mark.
 "Mark-Mark cured? Mark to be well? Oh, Godl Mark well?" It was a ragged cry, horribly startling, torn from Leila who had been so smooth, so sure.
 She dropped stick and gloves in a final devastating chatter as she got to her feet; and then they heard her make her fumbling way out of the house.

HOUSEWIVES SHOULD DEMAND QUALITY GRADES ON LABELS.

development in merchandising canned goods is on the horizon. Housewives have long protested that they not tell from the labels the grade quality of the canned foods they buy, Neither price brand name is satisfactory guide to quality for different retail stores diff ferent prices on the brands, and different brand names may be given to goods of identical quality, sold at varying prices.
 It has been argued that statements of grade might lead to a preference for certain grades to the neglect of others In practice it does not work out that way, says Paul M. Williams, of the Bureau of Agricultural Economies, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Once in while the house. wife wants an extra fine grade, say, Of canned whole tomatoes if she is entertaining.
 For ordinary table uses she usually selects a middle grade. And for making soup gravy or merely navoring other dishes with tomato she can use the standard even the substandard grade In the case of tomatoes the substandard can may

At Last, a Plan.
(Daily Olympian.)

Say what you will about MT. Roosevelts scheme for power development, reforestation and agricu- ture reclamation in the Tennessee Valley, it is al least comprehensive and ambitious longrange plan -and, as such, it to bewildered country very much like breath of cool fresh air. When the Civil War was at it's darkest hour, and the Northern armies were being wasted over and over because competent leader could not be found, there was popular cry, Abraham Lincoln, Igive us man!' We in something like that mood today, only asking for plan rather than a man.
 We want someone to outline program for us; la big program, one big enough to require all our strength and all our energy, one big enough even, Ito be little bit risky.
 We have in fact, just about reached the point where even very bad plan would look better to us than plan at all We have drifted long enough and it has become pretty clear that troubles are not going to settle themselves. To have far reaching program mapped out is greatly refreshing in spite of the fact that this particular program contains things with which many of us will be unable to agree whole-heartedly. In some ways one of the most dismaying aspects lof the depression has been the kind of paralysis that has rested the American spirit. We have been tmid about trying to start anything. Our lenergy has slumbered
 Yet that old energy and spirit are not dead. The nation that grew in little more than century from few scattered colonies to one of the worlds greatest empires has not declined into senility. The force that dug the Erie Canal threw railways across the Rockies lifted the New York skyscrapers and built the mills of Detroit and Gary and Brm- ingham still exists. It only needs to be put to work
 Ia big It may not be the best plan possible; it may even be very bad But it is at least something definite and far-reachng. Simply to have it offered is in the highest degree encouraging

contain less solid material and more juice than the standard grade.
 The confusion created by the many meaningless brand names could be avoided by the of four simple grades printed on the labels, says MT Will jams. Grade A means fancy; Grade B, choice; Grade c, standard; and any other quality, sub standard. The bureau points out that if canner jobber has any doubt of the grade of his product he have samples officially graded for nominal fee The addition of the letters "U. S." to the grade designation is permitted when the factory where the product is packed meets certain sanitary requirements of the department, and an official grader has watched every step of the canning pro- and has consequently certified the grade appear ing on the label This has been done experimentally with one or two products recently

CHAPTER 42. PATSY DOES A DANCE

Tn the Upper Mallard vicarage the lamp was lit, but it was plac- ed in a curious position for a lamp. It was on the floor. It illumined mainly the feet and the long legs of Patsy Raoul as she danced, singing in her queer, hus- ky voice a song of the vineyards and the sun. The vicar, in a chair, at the other end of the room, applauded delightedly.
 "Splendidl Splendidl You know, I have the pleasant feeling that I couldn't possibly approve of that song if my French were less rus ty; but fortunately only under stand one sentence in five. What swinging, stamping tune! You're giving one old man lot of pleas ure, Miss Raoul."
 Why not?"
 q don't know why not admit ted the vicar, sucking contentedly at his pipe, but one is supposed to say that kind of thing. Per sonally, I've always imagined that when a creative artist feels the wish for an audience, it's immater- ial whether it consists of one olo man or a hundred young ones"
 Patsy Raou1 picked up the lamp and brought it over to the table by the fire.
 Men make me the more good audience as women," she remark ed, curling herself into chail like a snake. T like not any wo- men ever. Only Barbara
 She grinned and forgot to sound foreign. The first time I met her, she tainted dead away Tn the Park. I told her afterwards my face had made people scream now and then, but it had never actually knocked anyone senseless before"
 I'm glad you like Barbara. She needs a friend"
 She's only to lift a finger and she can have the best friendship in the world Farrell Armitage-' g
 And I'm glad you like Farrell Armitage."
 Miss Raoul looked defiant.
 What do you mean? He doesn't like me. I got wrong with him at the start-tried to sting him for a couple of dogs. Only vanity, you know; I could easily have af- forded two tykes, even without my legacy"
 You're enjoying your legacy?"
 What do you think? It's ex- tremely pleasant, being rich"
 'It is. indeed" agreed MT. Frere I'm very rich myself
 Miss Raoul stared round the meagre room with her small, black eyes; eventually they returned to her hosts composed face, fine as a cameo in the freight. Her throat ached suddenly.
 Oh, to be free, like this old man, of the pull and urge of life! To have calm mind, to know the heights and depths only through the hearts of others, to dip so small cup at the fountain of hu- man love that always it is full to the briml She said restlessly.
 "A poor old friend died and left me his-her whole bag of tricks, I mayn't touch the capital-I must say that seems to me spelling the ship for half penny's worth of tar, but the trustees say they'll make me any advance within req son on the income. And so long as it's my reason that's to be our standard of measurement, well I'm not complaining.
 She hooked one leg over the arm of her chair and lit a cigarette. Her green and crimson woolen suit made her look like some me- diaeval jecter.
 You must come and see my show in Town she added irrele- vanity. Come and stay with me

COST OF ADMINISTERING
RELIEF UNDER 5 PERCENT
Ninety-five Cents of Every Dol
lar Spent Goes to Aid of Des-
titute, Figures Show
1,131 NOW ON PAYROLL

The Garrett County Welfare Board
today gave out the information that
costs of administering relief funds in
the county during May and June have
been kept below percent. ''This
means that more than 95 cents out of
each dollar expended in giving aid
to the destitute through work projects
and direct relief, have gone to the
needy of the county," according to
Delbert Davis, treasurer of the board.
This low cost of administration in
cludes the family visitors who have
been calling in the homes of heads of
families on relief work, and the re-
suits of our effort to function as reas-
onably as possible are very gratifying
to the Board"
To date 1,763 applications have
been registered at the central Office of
the Welfare Board in Oakland, Of
which 1,131 were included on the pay
rolls for the week ended June 18th.
From that time the Welfare Board
has been in a retrenchment movement
due to diminishing funds.
Charles w. Ream, chairman of the
board, advised that meeting in Bal
timore City had been called by R.
F. Cleveland, chairman of the Govern
or's Emergency Relief Committee.
All of the counties of the State have
been asked to send the chairmen of
the local welfare board, one of the
County Commissioners and the relief
administrator. Mr.. Ream, George D..
Browning and Miss Charlotte Wilcox
will attend the meeting called for
June 30th. According to Mr.. Cleve-
lands invitation to the county's rep
resentatives, this meeting is called for
the purpose of considering present re-
lief needs throughout the State and
possible continuation of the present
relief program.
During the past week it has been
necessary to discontinue registration
of new applicants for the remainder
of the month and work assignments
for heads of relief families have had
to be materially reduced in order that
the expense can be brought within the
allotted budget for June. This reduc-
ton in income has brought real dis
tress in many homes where work re-
lief projects, under the direction of
the Welfare Board, represents the
only incomes in such homes.

DEFINITE REORGANIZATION
PLAN ANNOUNCED BY BANK
Garrett National Bank Will Be
Capitalized at $4,000 With
Surplus of $4,000
PLAN ALREADY APPROVED

Definite plans for the re-or-
ganization of the Garrett Ma
tional Bank of Oakland were
completed early this week, ac-
cording to an official announce
ment today. The proposed plan
for reorganization provides for
the formation of a new bank to
be known as the Garrett Nation
al Bank, which will be capital
lied at $4,000 and have a sur
plus of $4,000.
Under the plan as approved
by the Treasury Department at
Washington, the newly formed
bank will take over portion Of
the assets of the old Garrett Ma
tional Bank and will assume the
same proportion of the old
banks liabilities to its deposit
tors.
The organization committee
that has worked out the details
of the plan has made arrange
ments for the offering of the
stock in the new institution to
the public and the depositors Of
the old Garrett National Bank.
The new stock will have par
value of $40 a share and will be
sold at SIS per share, which will
provide the $4,000 capitaliza-
ton and the surplus of $4,000.
It is felt by the committee that
within short time all of the
stock will be subscribed for and
that in the near future per-
centage of the deposits now in
the Garrett National Bank will
be available to the depositors.
Under the provisions of Sec
ton % of the Glass-Steagall
Banking Act recently passed by
Congress, the additional liability
imposed upon shareholders in
national banking associations
does not apply with respect to
shares in any such association
issued after the date of the en-
actment of that Act. This pro-
vision will therefore apply to the
new stock of the Garrett Ma
tional Bank.
At the time of the closing of
the bank under the Presidents
proclamation, the total deposits
amounted to about 100000. The
re-opening of the bank and the
releasing of a substantial part
of the deposits will have a very
stimulating effect on the COM
munity.
Subscriptions for the new
stock are coming in rapidly and
it is believed that the entire
amount necessary will be SUBJ
scribed very shortly.
