ment salesman, Harold N.

quiries regarding proposed con-

adamant silence of clerkdom.
The salesman Stammered:
"Secretary IckeS, I have been

regarding the new chemistry
building at Howard University"
1ckes wanted to know:
''What chemistry buiIding?"
Told. the Secretary called a
subordinate in an outside office
for the information and was
advised:
"Send the man out here,
Mister Ickes, and we will take
care of him out here"
To which the Secretary re-
piled:
"YOu bring the information
In here. I will take care Of him
myself"

Sheriff Albert G. Buckworth, ac-
companied by States Attorney E. D.
E. Rollins, deputies Coudon Rey-

and Joseph Bostomski, of Philadel-
phia. Wilcox claimed he had been
working for only week as cook.
Pferffer, who said he worked in the
store, claimed he was hitch hiking
and when he applied for job he
was hired promptly. The others
worked either in the store or in the
gas station. They all claimed they
were paid very poorly for their SER
vices, 50 a week being the highest
wages paid. All were held under
bond of $500 as material witnesses.
Previous to the raid two of the
Federal men had visited the place
and made a purchase of one gallon

kegs, and other containers. Sew

RALLY AT NORTH

A large delegation from Rising
Sun attended the temperance rally,
ON Tuesday evening, held at the
Nazarene Church, in North East.
The singing was led by Rev. Hand,
pastor of the church. Chairman
Cameron, of the Fifth District Or
ganization, presided and stated the
object of the rally, which was to or
ganize the temperance forces In
preparation for the vote on the re-
peal amendment at the special cleo
ton, to be held in Maryland on
September IL of this year.
VIM. M. Pogue, of the Sixth Dis
trict organization, explained the
trick ballot that the voters will have
to mark on that occasion, stating
that it was very confusing and ap-
parently purposely so arranged, at
the instance of the vets, to further
their cause by mixing up the voter
who does not study it carefully be-
fore going into the booth to mark it.
Other speakers who made brief
remarks, urging the importance of
getting out the temperance vote
were Rev. Woodward. of Bay View;
Rev. Thornton. of Charlestown;
Rev. Reynolds, of North East.
The meeting was well attended
and much enthusiasm manifested.

BANK PLAN APPROVED
Proposal For Ellxton Banking And
Trust Co. To Be Put
Into Effect

1hAO 1JACSC
The directors of the Elkton Bank
ing and Trust Company. report that
only one disapproval was received to
their plan for the reopening of the
bank on a twenty-five per- cent, un-
restricted basis. The time limit for
objections expired Saturday
More than fifty per cent of the de-
positors approved the plan by send
ing in signed letters, while quite a
large number ignored the bank
appeal for various reasons. Provi-
sions of the plan will be carried out
as rapidly as possible. One of the
provisions is the pledging OF $780,
900 in cash by the present board of
directors, large portion of which,
it is alleged, has been raised. The
institution is required to raise an
additional 100000, arrangements
for which are nearly completed. 1t
is understood that the RecOnstruc
ton Finance Corporation is cooper
ating with the bank officials
A representative of that institu-
ton will make a survey of the in
stitution within the next few days.
The work of setting up new sys-
tenn of bookkeeping made necessary
by the debenture plan will be under
taken while the necessary money is
being raised. A stockholders meet
ing will be called soon to authorize
the changes.

PLANNING SUPER HIGH
WAY THRU STATE
State Roads Commission VIII
Build New Dual
HIGHWAY
Highway

| Inc state ROADS Commission or
Maryland has announced it's plans
for the construction of a new dual
highway. The route for this pro-
posed new road leads from the Dis
trict of Columbia line, near Silver
Springs, in a straight line to Elil-
colt City, thence on a belt line
around Baltimore through Pixies
vile and Towson, and then norln by
a direct route to Churchvilie, Level
md Lapidum, where new bridge
would be built across the Susque-
hanna to Rock Run. On the Cecil
county side, the road would then
ranch into two forks, one highway
.unning to the Pennsylvania border
1t Sylmar and the other to the Del
aware border near Elkton.
| The Commission chose this route
| in preference to that advanced by
Glenn L. Martin, airplane builder Of
Middle River, who suggested dual
highway parelleling the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad tracks from Baltimore
to Aberdeen, and thence over the
Philadelphia Road to Havre de
Grace, Perryville and Elkton. The
Commissions choice would mean
the discard of the Washington
Boulevard, the Philadelphia Road
and the Bel Air Road as through
traffic arteries. The cost of this SUI
perhighway would be $11,435,0O0.
exclusive of the belt line around
Baltimore.
The dual highway idea, however,
is largely matter of the future,
and no well-informed person be-
lieves that it will be built in the
next two or three years. No doubt
active opposition will arise over the
choice by the commission of the an
nounced route.
At the same time it was announce
ed that the present Philadelphia
Road would be widened to Sc feet
from the Baltimore City limits as
far as Golden Ring, and from 20 to
80 feet from Golden Ring to Aber-
deem, with eight-foot dirt shoulders
on the latter section. The Bel Air
road will be widened to 80 feet
from Baltimore to Bel Air with
eight-foot gravel shoulders ON each
side.
There roads will be built of
black, prepared substance, Iesembl-
ing asphalt in construction, and all
bad curves will be eliminated,
When completed, they will be "clear
vision roads," it being possible at
any one point to get an unobstructed
view of the road for 500 feet ahead.
This is made necessary by the thirty
loot roadbed, north and south-bound
traffic both being entitled 10 pass
other vehicles in the center ten-foot
section.
The cost of these two improve
ments will be S3,564,527, to be
made with State construction funds,
and the type of road used will per-
NIT, at the cheapest possible cost,
further widening into forty-foot
highways if future traffic justifies
such additional paving. Construc-
ton work will begin about August
1, and may be completed this year.
The State Roads Commission, ac-
cording to the announcement
made, also plans a forty-five and
one-half mile belt line around the
outskirts of Baltimore, to cost So
100000 and to become part OF
the superhighway through Mary
land. One section Of the belt line,
linking Towson with the Liberty
road, will be built this summer with
State funds.
