.CUTS OWN PAY,
ASKS OTHERS
To Do SAME
10 Per Cent Slash Recon-
mended for Employees, Also
Tax on Some LuxurieS

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. ECONOMY
will be the keynote of the 90-day
session of the Maryland State leg
islsture which convened here to-
day, and heard Immediately after
ward a message from Gov. Albert
c. Ritchie in which economy was
strongly stressed.
The governor calls for a 10 per
cent reduction in salaries OF State
officers and employees, a 10 per
cent cut in the appropriation for
the University Of Maryland, and
new taxes on cigarettes, soft
drinks, cigars, smoking tobacco
and chewing gum, to replace the
loss in taxes levied on real estate.
University Reduced
The university, he said, is ready
to accept a cut Of $ll6,616 in the
State contribution OF 81, 166, l8O,
and it will also assume the cost
of the maintenance of the Uni
,versity Hospital, which is $4,000
q, year.
The governor announced he
would voluntarily turn back 10
per cent Of his $4,000 salary to
the State, and that he would also
cut similarly the appropriation
for maintenance Of the executive
mansion. Salaries of State officers
cannot be cut during their terms
of office, but the governor asks
all such officers to make volur-
tary refunds to the State Treas
ury.
The Legislature can cut the
salaries of State employees, and
the Governor said that he was
compelled, regretfully, to recon-
mend 10 per cent reduction.
State Tax Rate Cut
Reduction in the State tax rate
from Is to % cents is planned
under the new budget, which, he
said, will balance, thus maintain
ing the high credit Of the State.
A surplus can be built up, he
said, by bonding 100000 Of
accrued liability for the teachers
retirement fund. This, he said,
was in accord with sound busi-
ness principles.
County taxes can also be
reduced through State contribu-
1tions, the Governor said, further
describing his budget plan. The
extent of such cuts, he said, will
range from IL to SO cents. He
also recommended reduction in
the minimum county school levy
from 81 to 60 cents.
49, Harrington, Speaker
As for the commodity taxes
proposed on cigarettes and other
items, he pointed out that many
States already tax these. He is
opposed to a State income tax
or sales tax.
Organization of the Legislature
was effected with the induction
of T. Barton Harrington, of
Baltimore, as Speaker of the
House of Delegates, and State
Senator Walter j. Mitchell, of
Charles county, as president of
the Senate. These choices by the
Democratic caucus were opposed
by Oliver Metzerott for Speaker
and L. Creston Beauchamp as
Senate president, and the latter
now become Republican floor
leaders.

Prohibition Officer
Faces Hearing in
Motor Case

WALDORF, Md, Jan. 4.
Thomas Bailey, Southern Mary
land prohibition agent chief,
arrested Friday for driving with
out an operators card, will appear
for a hearing before Magistrate
A. B. Gardiner tomorrow.
The hearing, originally set for
Saturday, was postponed at the
request of Simon E. Sobeloff,
United States District Attorney,
who pointed out that a recent
ruling by the Attorney General
of the State permitted dry investi-
gators while on duty to operate
cars without operators licenses
in their possession.
Bailey is said to have told the
arresting officer that he had
changed the license plates on the
machine he was driving because
his markers were known to the
persons he was seeking.

De SOTO Makes
BOW TODAY

style is the keynote Of the new
De Soto for 1888. The smart
new models. offering interior
treatment patterned after an ex-
pensive French car. built for a
European lady Of title, are being
shown today by local DeSoto
dealers.
While retaining De Soto's char,
acteristic individuality, the de-
signers have fashioned an auto
mobile that surpasses it's famed
predecessor from appearance to
performance. PefhapS the most
notable accomplishment in this
respect is the blending of the
radiator, front tenders and hood
into what appears to be a single,
graceful, integral unit.
The beauty of the rounded
racing-car type radiator, which
individualized De Soto on the
highways last year, has been fur
ther enhanced by toeing the
shell out slightly at the bottom
and curving the lower quarter
into an oval design.
The new De Soto Six-cylinder
is of the Lhead engine design
and develops 79 horsepower and
is capable of smooth speed of
10 miles an hour.
Prices continue at low level.
Nine smart body models. four
custom, four standard and one
special body type, are included
in the line. All. models are avail,
able in a wide range of striking
colors.

Building Cover. Fifty Acre,

The Louvre in Paris is easily the
largest composite public building In
the world, for it occupies an area of
nearly 90 acres. But its size and even
its architectural features are of far
less Importance to humanity than the
superb art collections within its walls,
which had their beginning in the reign
of Francis /. the great art patron. who
tried to make Paris the Mecca of the
cultured world by attracting thither
the leading artists of the day The
second great feature is its Importance

low the cookie TO burn as quickly
on the bottom as do the dark pans
The nuts for these little cakes, by
the way. must be cut finer than for
the brownies. These cakes need an
even slower oven than the brownies
300 degrees Fahrenheit-and take
about twenty We minutes TO bake.
Ii you hurry them they will stick to

Now for sandwiches. l am espe-
cially fond of favored butter for fill
ing. Equal parts of butter and
crushed watercress favored discreet
ly with onion juice and lemon Juice
make perfect filling. Mustard an
chovy paste. chilli sauce or horserad.
ish are other suggestions, which
should be added to taste. If you like
to have some especially attractive
sandwiches. cut all crusts except the
bottom from the loaf of bread. spread
the filling lengthwise of the loaf, and
you can easily slice. Put this spread
slice on damp cloth and roll ii
quickly. Ii bread is very fresh. you
can do rolling without the cloth. Seal
the edge with butter, wrap in oiled
or parchment paper and put In the
refrigerator until ready to use, when
the roll should be sliced.
Whole wheat bread spread with
roquefort cheese mixed with butter.
OF with cottage cheese mixed with
minced olives and a bit of onion, Is
another suggestion. Crabmeat with
minced celery, onion and mayonnaise
on white bread is even better, in my
opinion.
1t is a good idea to let the shape
of the sandwich indicate it's filling
Finger-length squares and triangles
are palmer shapes which have little

Heavy Work Ahead.

There is no better way to depict
what kind of a job confronts the ex-
ira session than to set down some of
the things pressing for decision. Here
are just few of them:
The unbalanced federal budget, with
it's family of related questions like
taxation, economies in government,
abolition or consolidation of govern
ment functions and the policies neces-
sary to carry out those decisions.
Unemployment relief, with the fur
Their call for federal funds for loans to
financial houses, railroads, cities and
states, and now it is even proposed to
make loans to school districts.
War debts, to which is inseparably
linked proposals for world economic
conference involving tariff policies,
economic restoration, monetary stand
ards Involving valoriZation of silver,
and re-establishment Of foreign trade.
Imitation of the currency and its ST.
amese twin, domestic mortgages, both
farm and city. Allied with these two
questions necessarily is the question
of ways and means to pull our own
country out of the depression, and leg
islation revising national banking and
federal reserve laws. The demand for
immediate payment Of the veterans
bonus has place in the same picture.
Prohibition in it's various phases.
The whole category of agricultural
problems and prices of commodities
and questions of production and distri-
button.

WHAT'S GOING ON
IN WASHINGTON
Congress Headed Straight
for Long Extra Session;
Many Weighty Problems.
By WILLIAM BRucKART

Washington.-The wish of a great
number of senators and representa-
tives to stay in Washington at least
a part of this coming summer is go
ing to be fulfilled. They are headed
straight into an extra session OF con-
gress, and unless all signs fail 1t is
going to be long-drawn-out affair.
II always has been the case that a
goodly number of the national legis-
lators prefer to stay around the Cap
ital after a futile session, rather than
to go home and see the folks. Con-
stituents have a habit of asking en-
barrassing questions as to why moth
ing was done about this, that or the
other. So, except for short period
between the retirement of Mr.. Hoover
and the date which President-Elect
Roosevelt fixes for the extra session,
representatives and senator's are like
ly to be here on the job through much
of the summer
The incoming Chief Executive thus
far has kept his own counsel about the
extra SSSSlOL, uul the VERSAILLES oAiOhs
the hundreds of volunteer assistants
who have tied themselves to him, or
have attempted to do so, claim that the
extra session viii be called around
April 20. That will give Mr.. Roosevelt
roughly seven weeks of the seven
months honeymoon" in the White
House for which he asked during his
campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not the only one
who desired to have that honeymoon
period at the beginning of his admin
istration. The expressions from bust
ness leaders were of the same tenor.
They thought, and still believe, the alb
sence of congress from Washington
for a while would serve as tonic for
the country by allowing business to
move along undisturbed during that
time. -+-

sickness but his mother says: when
Leroy was just a little fellow, we
found his stomach and bowels were
weak. He kept suffering from con-
stipation. Nothing he ate agreed
with him. He was fretful, feverish
and puny.
"When we started giving him Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup his condition i'm
proved quickly. His constipation and
biliousness stopped and he has had
no more trouble of that kind. / have
since used California Fig Syrup with
him for colds and upset spells. He
likes it because it tastes so good and
j like it because it helps him so
wonderfully"
California Fig Syrup has been the
trusted standby of mothers for over
80 years. Leading physicians recon-
mend it. 1t is purely vegetable and
works with Nature to regulate, tone
and strengthen the stomach and
bowels of children so they get full
nourishment from their food and
waste is eliminated in a normal way.
Four million bottles used a year
shows how mothers depend on it. AL
ways look for the word california"
on the carton to be sure of getting
the genuine.
