MOVE TO TRANSFER
RECORDS DEFENDED
Civil Service initiated Plan to
Bar Duplication, Bingham
Points Out.

Commenting on opposition which has
de, eloped in the Civil Service Commits
sion to the proposal in the economy pro-
gram that the personnel records of Gov
ernment employees be kept under the
jurisdiction Of the various departments
instead of under the commission,
Chairman Bingham of the Senate Econ
omy Committee pointed out yesterday
that the Civil Service Commission made
the original suggestion for elimination
Of duplication in the keeping Of records.
Senator Bingham said the Civil Serv-
ice Commission outlined during the
Senate economy hearings, and later in
a separate report. how further economy
could be achieved by consolidation of
personnel records.
There are points of difference, how
ever, between the suggestions of the
commission and the recommendation as
brought out by the Economy Committee.
The commission favored elimination of
duplication of records and, while it sug-
gested that the complete historical rec.
ord Of each employe be kept in the re-
spective departments, the commission
contended the records should be under
its jurisdiction. 1t went further and
recommended that it be given author
ity to designate representatives of the
commission to have supervision over the
personnel records kept in departments
where necessary.
1t is probable this will be one of the
issues debated when the economy pro-
gram comes up in the Senate within a
few days.

HANGING ROUND THE CORNER

81 got tired of hanging round the waiting for
job" This is the explanation given by many of the
young men who have applied for work with the gov
ernments big reforesatOn project. 1t is no wonder
they got tired of ainess oafng which deadens hope
and purpose and ambition.
One would think any young could find some bet
ter use of his time than hanging round the corner
find things to do around their homes They would be
better off if they would spend the time cleaning up
their back yards, their attics and easements if they
have such places. The home folk always have little
jobs they want done.
Ambitious young spend little time hanging
work They know that does not hear of jobs in the
idle spot Business looking for help do not visit
the corners to look for promising candidates. They
watch the newspaper ads and visit the labor agencies
Ambitious young fellows out of work should be
studying something useful. They find books to
world respects They need to read the newspapers
thoroughly for possible suggestions of employment.
One can't help sympathize with the sentiment of dull
WEAKNESS felt by unemployed men. They long for any
kind of human companonshp, and the chance acquant
ances of city street better than nothing. But
weak wied young fellows learn things on the streets
of many cities that give crooked twist to their ca
reers Jobs not had anyway by waiting around for
them They go to those who look necessarily for them,
who are constantly watching for things that people
want done.

Warm Climate Vegetables
By w. R. Ballard, Extension Horticulturist

Certain vegetables particularly sensitive to in
jury by frost and must wait the advent of warm
weather before being planted Indeed in this group
are the various of beans, tomatoes peppers egg
plants sweet potatoes melons, cucumbers, squashes
and pumpkins. Sweet will stand cold wea-
Their, but does not grow we'll until the temperature
begins to climb.
Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and sweet potatoes
usually started in hotbed that goodsized plants
are ready to set in the garden danger of
frost is past. Even melons and cucumbers may be
started this way, if early results desired
With lima beans and corn, early planting
times results dsastrousy because the seed is likely to
rot in the ground if cold wet weather prevails.
Various devices sometimes used in the field to en-
able planting somewhat earlier period han be
done without protection Several forms OF plant
often used to give plants early start. They
have some value, too in protecting the young plants
from attacks of insects.
Light, sandy soil warm up quicker in the early
spring than do the heavier ones and for this reason
they should be selected for the early crops. Sweet
tatoes and cantaoupes, particularly, to require
soils light in character for their best Development
They respond well to Of well-rotted if it is
placed in the hill.
High yields of tomatoes seem to be correlated with
early setting of wel-developed plants.
Maryland Bean Growers Warned to Rotate Fields and
Use Diseased Free Seed Stock
Maryland bean growers who would have strong
healthy plants free from anthracnose pod spot,
should see that the land which they grown is
rotated at least for three years with other crops and
that they plant only seed raised in the irrigated sec
tons of the West Seed grown west of the Mississippi
River in Wyoming, California, Idaho, has been
found preferable, since it is not only free from an
thracnose but also blight, according to H. A. Hunter,
pathologist for the University of Maryland Extension
Service.
1t has been shown by experiment and practical eXper
that the three most important diseases of beans
in Maryland anhracnose blight and root rot, may live
over the winter in the soil and infes bean crop the
following year. 1t has been found that anhracnose is
sprayed from plant to plant in the field during wet
weather So far is possible, beans should not be
cultivated picked while the plants wet with dew
rain.
good fertilizer Co beans is a 4-12-6 mixture
and it should be applied at from 800 to 500 pounds to
the acre. Mr.. Hunter points out, however, the bean
seed is easily injured by coming in direct contact with
commercial fertilizers and, a result the fertilizer
should be worked into the soil well before and not at
the time of planting.

WILLIAM STONE AND PARLOUS TIMES
FOR THE PALATINATE
KATHERINE SCARBOROUGH

AECILIUS CALVERT, Lord Bal
timorc, who had entertained sigh hopes of
establishing in Maryland refuge for his
countrymen from the sorry scheme of things
which darkened England during the Crom-
wellian upheaval, was perilously close to los
ing his palatinate when he selected, as the
first Protestant Governor of his dominion
beyond the sea, William Stone Sheriff of
Northumberland county, Virginia. He was
chosen to replace the Catholic, Thomas Green,
who had succeeded Leonard Calvert in 1647.
A Protestant was vitality needed to disarm
the bitter-end Cromwellians who disliked
Catholics as much as they did royalty.
Governor Stones appointment was made
on August II, 1649, and probably was due not
only to his religious convictions, which were
a direct reply to Lord Baltimore's Roundhead
critics, but to his undertaking in some short
time to procure 500 people of British or Irish
descent to come from other places and plant
or reside within our said province of Mary
land" These people, all of whom were Puri-
tans, had emigrated first to Virginia, where
they were harshly treated by the Episcopa-
lians of that colony, and upon coming to
Maryland, settled on the Severn at Provi-
dence, now the Eastport section of Annapolis.
"
GOVERNOR STONE was known friend of the
Parliamentary party in England, but he did
not hesitate to take the long and elaborate
oath of office, prescribed and sent out for
him by Lord Baltimore, in which he vowed
to be ''true and faithful to the Right Hon'ble
Ceclius, lord baron of Baltimore, the true
and absolute proprietary of this province OF
Maryland and his heirs"
The same oath was administered to a new
commission established by his lordship at the
same time Governor Stone was appointed and
which included Thomas Green, Esq, Capt.
John Price, Thomas Hatton, "our secretary;
John Pile, Robert Clarke and Capt. Robert
Vaughan. These men constituted Lord Balti
more's "privy council of state" They were
his special collective representative in Mary
land, appointed by him and removable at his
pleasure. They knew his views on public mat
tiers and his personal wishes as we'll and, with
the Governor, they were trusted to guard
his interests and carry out his policies. They
also formed the Upper House of the Legisla-
ture, the lower consisting of nine burgesses
representing Kent and St. Marys, these two
counties, up to 1850, comprising the whole OF
Maryland's Eastern and Western shores.
On the score of religion the Privy Coun-
Gil was evenly divided, three of the members
being Protestants and three Catholics. Like
the Governor, they were pledged to interfere

Roger Williams, Catholics were denied par
ticipation in the political rights which were
enjoyed by everyone else in the community.
Only in Maryland did authority frown on
the man or woman who dared to stigmatize
another as ''heretic schismatic, idolator, Puri-
tan, Independent, Presbyterian, popish priest,
Jesuit, Jesuited Papist, Lutheran, Calvinist,
Brownist, Antinomian Barrowist Roundhead,
Separatist, or any other name or term in a
reproachful manner" To do so was to SUBJ

ling, one-half of the sum to be paid to the
person insulted In case of default, the Of
fender was to be publicly whipped and inn
prisoned until ample satisfaction had been
made to the victim by asking and receiving
forgiveness publicly and in the presence of
the chief officer of the place" where the
offense had been committed.
The list of explosives interdicted by the
liberation act seems to have been not only
all-inclusive of every religious sect repre-
sented in the colony but to throw no little
light on the favorite insults and epthets of
the early seventeenth century in Maryland.
To the Assembly which passed the act the
Puritans of Providence at first refused to
send representatives and it was only after
Governor Stone had made an arduous jour.
ney to visit and reason with them that they
were sufficiently Modified to select delegates.
"
TO coMPLIcATE the situation still further
rumors shuttled among the Puritans to the
effect that Lord Baltimore's government was
about to be overthrown in England and the
province reduced" under the control of
commissioners of Parliament.
These rumors undoubtedly originated
among the Cromwellians in England and were
transmitted to Maryland by friends of the
colonists on the Severn. Governor Stone and
the other civil authorities did what they could
to silence them, but the stories would not
down, 1t soon became only too evident that
they were not without foundation.
In the midst of the hubbub Governor Stone
in 1861 went to Virginia on visit concern
ing the purpose of which historians maintain
complete silence. His predecessor in office,
Thomas Green, was left in charge of affairs
as deputy Governor during his absence Dur
ing Governor Stones stay the Virginia AS
sembly enacted statute requiring all minis
tiers to conform to the Church of England.
and directing Governor Berkeley and the
council to compel all non-conformistS to leave
the province with all conveniency." This
was supplemented by Berkeley's proclamation
acknowledging Charles II as the lawful King
of England and making it treason to utter
or even to think anything whatever against
the house of Stuart, or in favor of Puritan
parliament.
The Virginia Governors proclamation of
allegiance to Charles II was quickly followed
in Maryland by similar deposition issued by
Deputy Governor Green, accompanied by re-
joicings and general pardon. Governor Stone
hurried back to St. Mary's and relieved his
