General Assembly
Clearing Files OF
Pending Measures
Senate Adopts Donovan's
Amendment To Bank Bill
General Assembly Ball
Next Week

Proceedings in the General Assemb-
ly of Maryland for more than a week
have been almost overshadowed by the
financial situation in the nation, but
the emergency banking legislation
passed by the Legislature at Annap-
oils required the hardest kind of work
on the part of the members of both
House and Senate. Both branches set
tied down Monday to take up routine
matters which of necessity were laid
aside pending the enactment of the
emergency measures.
The amendment proposed last week
by Senator Joseph L. Donovan, of
Howard county, reducing the minimum
capital requirement of banks organiz-
ing in Maryland from $4,000 to $685.
900, was adopted by the Senate at
Monday nights session. The bill, in
troduced by Senator L. G. Sasscer, of
Prince Georges county, would fix the
capital requirements for banks or
ganized in the State in a rising scale
in ratio to the population of the local
tiles in which they would be estab-
lished.
Mr.. Donovan's amendment was
made a special order for Monday
night after he had spoken in favor of
small banks doing sound conservative
business in rural communities. Sena-
tor Donovan cited number of in
stances in which banks organized on
capital basis less than $4,000 had
built up surplusses which in some
cases eqnalled or surpassed the
amount of capital on which the insti-
tutions were originally organized. The
!. measure is attracting more than usual
attention just now because Of the
banking situation in rural places.
The black bass bill, which would
close the season on this species of fish
to commercial fishermen, was brought
up in the regular third-reading file of
the House on Tuesday when it failed
to receive constitutional majority of
60 votes and was defeated by vote of
81 in the affirmative and So in the
negative on the final roll call, A num-
Der of those who supported the bill
when it passed its second reading,
however, were not present at the SEES
sion and it is said that an attempt
will be made to have one of the mem
bers who voted in the negative move
to reconsider the vote.
Delegate Roger V. Laynor, of How
ard county, chairman of the Fish and
Game Committee, which brought the
bill on the floor about two weeks ago
without recommendation, the COM
mittee being divided 5 to 5 on fav-
orable report, took the floor Tuesday
in support of the measure, which was
introduced by Delegate Raymond H
Miller of Washington county.
A bill to abolish the Maryland State
Board of Motion Picture Censors was
introduced in the House of Delegates

Cotton Becomes Queen
Of Riviera This Season

One very smart costume, because so
exceedingly simple, was in a rather
large black and white check, which
was less startling than it sounds,
chiefly because the frock was worn
over white, which somewhat lessened
the contrast Of the black The slip
worn with this costume was Of some
stiff fabric, whether tafieta or not, I
cannot say. The skirt was full, and
stood out stiffy in a quaint Victorian
fashion. With this strikingly simple
costume there was a girdle of black
cire ribbon, about four inches In width,
tied in the back with long, loose ends.
The young woman wearing this quaint
little frock had her hair bound with a
narrow band of silver in the manner
made fashionable by Lady Abby.
OF the afternoon costumes, one sees
very few on the Riviera. Their place
has been taken largely by the type of
costume which Is known in America as
spectator sports-the costume cut on
sport lines, but not intended for active
participation in games. Indeed, the
by the Partisan designer falls into this
class, since only few of them are
really suited to q strenuous game of
golf or tennis. They are most often
designed-and worn-for strolls along
the boardwalks Of the various smart re-
sorts, for informal tea at the casino,
and for other events at which one
wishes to appear in the sports mode.
\ X
A sMARTLY cut costume of this type,
seen at Monte Carlo, was in a
cloque fabric. There was a simple cut
frock of white, with a straight skirt
and tailored blouse worn with waist
length fitted jacket. This costume was
worn with a finely woven Panama
canotier Of very shallow crown and
medium brim. The hat was of the type
suggesting the "shirtwaist" COS, and
the stiff forward tilted sailors of that
epoch, except that this canotier was
not stiff, but delightfully."- soft In feel
ing as are practically all Of the sailors
being worn this season. They are Of q
type which I feel will appeal as widely
to the American woman as to the
French. That. as a matter Of fact,
seems to be characteristic Of most Of
the Riviera costumes which I have
seen. In color fabric and line they
have that chic simplicity that the
Am erican woman has always favored.
