Dick was unperturbed. Some OF

date the stock was. She managed
to have q chat with the dress buyer
who was sent to New York each
year and Eve was Immediately
impressed by the woman's alert
manner and thorough knowledge of
her field.
Afterward Eve and Dick dropped
in at a motion picture theater. So
busy had they been lately that a
movie seemed to involve n luxu-
rious expenditure of time. When
the lights went up young lad
sitting next to Eve remarked to
the girl beside him, Fright nice
room they have here" But Dick,
after an appraising glance about
him stated, They wasted no money
building this place" Later he and
Eve mounted the stairs to look at
the balcony and Dick raped softly
along the wall. Cheap construC-
ton here all right" he whispered.
But all pleasing to the average
eye-very pleasing. They have
enough fire exits, anyway" he
added.
Eve felt like person somewhat
detached from herself as they wan
dered back to the Cortley. Not a
familiar face in sight, the towns
people often turning their heads
to look as she and Dick passed, the
utter simplicity of the business life,
the leisurely pace. A feeling began
to steal over Eve that perhaps
Bixby's was not as important to
the world as she had imagined it
to be.

NICE WANTS COMPLETE
AUDIT OF STATES BOOKS
Republican Candidate Outlines
Platform for Campaign

Assailing the present Democratic
administration of Maryland, Harry w.
Nice, in a statement issued at Balti-
more on Saturday promised, if given
the gubernatorial nomination on the
Republican ticket to advocate and OBJ
tain an audit of every financial book
of the State"
Nice, after voicing the hope that
he receive the nomination without a
primary struggle, outlined platform
of nine points for party campaign.
He was one of the principal speakers
at the opening of the Third Ward Re-
publican Club headquarters Saturday
night.
Assails Banking Conditions
The banking conditions in Maryland
also came under the fire of the Repub-
lican leader, afterhe had asked "just
the reason for the placing of almost
so per cent of the States available
cash of over $8,OOO,OOO in four banks,
now in distress and so smeared with
politics as to make the peoples money
unavailable"
81 think sufficient intelligence can
be found" he asserted, "to write a
banking law to supercede the present
archaic, loosely drawn and wholly in
efficient ones, which only feebly at
tempt to provide protection of the
peoples money"
In asking for an audit of every fl
nancial book of the State, Nice said it
should be done with particular en-
phasis upon an audit dealing with the
receipts, expenditures and activities
of the roads, automobile and conser-
walton departments"
Would Abolish Tax Exemptions
He would seek "the abolition of the
many laws now providing tax exemt-
ton to many people and varied indus
tries, involving millions of dollars of
assessable property at present being
made up by and paid for in the way
of taxes by the small property own
err"
He would wish illumination on the
reason for a 22-cent tax rate based
upon a patiently hypocratical, down.
right dishonest assessment of real es-
tate" and would try to find out "why
have the expenditures of the State in
creased from $17,000,000 in 1922 to
$4O,5OO,O0O in 1882"
He also would insist upon accom-
plishment of a complete, absolute d.
vorcement of the school system from
political control, manipulation and in
fluence."
The last point of his platform as
serted he would feel myself obliged
to insist upon the use by State depart
ments of Maryland products, with
special reference to the resumption of
Maryland coal.
Gwen though our coal may not be
the cheapest, it is of the best and its
purchase would insure functioning of
the mines, wages to our miners and
probably in that particular section OF
Western Maryland would prove al
most as efficient as the great MIRA"

Signs of Autumn

Signs of autumn have been leis-
urely in their approach, despite Au-
gust days with the feeling of Octo-
Der. The summer itself was late and
indecisive, so autumn may be expect
ed to lag. But there are signs seen
now, unmistakable omens of the sea-
sons change.
Sumac is turning scarlet and its
"buckthorn" spikes of fruit havelost
their crimson luster. Dogwood leaves
are showing tinges of Octoberred. The
elms are becoming rusty. Scar leaves
of the sycamore begin to scatter in
the breeze. The poison ivy's foliage
is taking on it's autumn color.
Blackberry patches, long since
picked clean by birds and boys, begin
to glow in forgotten fence corners.
Queen Anne's lace, the untamed car
rot, lifts flat-topped heads of brown
above its withered, fern-like leaves.
Jack-in-the-pulpit is gone, and where
he stood now lie clusters of bright red
berries. Walnuts hang fat and rusty
green, waiting for the frosts. The
graceful stems of, the deceptive ink
berries bow beneath a load of purple
fruit. Even the goldenrod begins to
look shabby.
The signs of autumn are most I'M
mistakable in the evening, when great
focks of birds, full of chatter and
restlessness, gather in the trees or on
the wires, only to go winging off in
long and scattering lines for any
cause or none at all. A mist has hung
over the hills at sunset each evening
for the last week, forerunner of In
dian summer days ahead. And the
sun itself sinks out of sight before
seven-thirty. Summer is gone. In
dian summer is on the way and then
autumn cannot be far in the future
