LENT, HOLY SEASON OF THE CHURCH, Is USHERED IN

Lent stand first. In all churches,
however, there is more strict OBJ
servance of this penitential season.
Tuesday was Shrove or Mardi
Gras Tuesday, the last day before
Lent. In the United States the day
is observed with great ceremonies,
especially in New Orleans and Mem
phis. These include brilliant process.
sions, masquerade balls, and other
gay entertainments, which are par
ticipated in by thousands of visitors
from all parts of the country.
In these days of anxiety and dis
tress, there is natural turning of
minds away from the material to the
spiritual, and a more strict and gen
eral observance of the Lenten season
is expected in all the churches.
The first of the union Lenten
services here was held last evening in
the M. E. church, Rev. c. A. Shilke

BILLS INTRODUCED WOULD
CUT SALARIES OF OFFICERS
Sheriff, States Attorney and
Commissioners Involved

Three measures designed to reduce
the salaries of officers of Garrett
county were introduced in the House
of Delegates on Monday night.
One would reduce the salary of the
sheriff and another would provide for
a reduction in the amount of COM
pensation paid the States Attorney
from $3.50 to $500. The Sheriff at
present is paid salary of $1,800 per
year, while the salary of the States
Attorney is $500 with $3.50 for ex-
penses in operating his Office.
The third proposal provides that
the salary of future Garrett County
Commissioners shall be 5000 and that
the 10-cent a mile allowance for trav-
cling expenses for the commissioners
be eliminated. The Commissioners
now receive $1,000 year salary.
All three measures were referred
to the Garrett county delegation and
Delegate Joseph D. Mish (Dem., of
Washington county,.
Other Matters of a Local Nature
On Tuesday the House bill provid-
ing that all justices of the peace in
Garrett county shall make to the
County Commissioners of the county
reports of fines and fees imposed and
that said fines shall be paid to the
County Treasurer, was recommitted
to the Garrett county delegation and
Delegate Mish.
On Tuesday also the House bill fix
ing the fee which the treasurer of
Garrett county shall be entitled to
charge against each piece of property
sold for taxes and to be paid by said
treasurer to the auctioneer for his
services in conducting such sale, was
reported without recommendation
and recommitted to the Garrett
county delegation and Delegate Mish.
A favorable report was adopted last
Thursday on the House bill relating to
fences in certain election districts of
Garrett county.
In the Senate measure was passed
relating to the Identification of prop
erty on assessment lists and tax bills

Lent, the holy season of the
Church, was ushered in yesterday,
Ash Wednesday, with calls to peni-
tence and prayer, which is being OBJ
served by the Catholic church and
many Protestant churches.
Lent is so called from custom Of
sprinkling ashes that Gay on the
heads of penitents, then admitting
them to penance. In Catholic
churches ashes in the form of cross
are placed on the forehead of MEM
bers on Ash Wednesday to remind
them that their bodies will return to
dust.
The period at which the fast was
instituted is uncertain. It has only
been within comparative late years
that the Protestant churches, with
the exception of the Episcopal
church, generally observed Lent. In

BANK HOLIDAY EXTENDED:
HEARINGS ON BILL BEGUN
Measure Expected to Pass Gen.
eral Assembly late Today; Two
Local Banks Disregard Holiday
BUSINESS AS USUAL HERE

Annapolis, Md, March p
The, Senate committees on
Finane and judicial Proceedings
were closeted at an early hour
this morning, in a committee
room, continuing their delibera-
tions over the emergency bank
relief bill.
Whether or not it would be
brought to the Senate floor for
the adoption of several amend
ments which, state house lead
ers said probably will be incor-
porated in the measure by
agreement of the committees,
was a matter of speculation.
Meanwhile, it was reported
in high official circles that the
bank holiday probably would be
extended until Saturday, and
perhaps even until Monday.
The House committees had
adjourned earlier in the night,
to convene today at 100 p. m.
in the hopes the measure would
have obtained Senate approval
by that hour and the House
could Immediately begin pro-
ceedings on the bill on the floor.
In the House chamber, packed
with legislators, financial leaders
and scores of citizens, hearing be-
gan early tonight on the proposed
stabilization measure for Maryland
banks.
While Governor Richie extended
the banking holiday to include to-
morrow, the members of the Senate
and House pressed legislative action
and prepared to continue the hearing
late into the night, in hope of get
ting it through the general assembly
as quickly as possible.
Two. Banks Here Are Open
The bank holiday was declared
early last Saturday morning by
Governor Ritchie, due to Withdrawals
from the Baltimore Trust company
during the week amounting to $751;
100000.
Oakland banks declined to observe
the holiday, preferring to remain
open and give the same service to
their depositors that they have been
doing in the past. On Monday, how
ever, the Farmers Bank, State
institution, decided to observe the
bank holiday, and other banks Of the
county are said to be observing it
with the exception Of the First Nat
ional of Friendsville. All other
banks in the state remaining open,
are doing so only to make change.
Conferences between Governor
Ritchie, other state officials and
bankers for the past few days terni-
mated today with the presentation OF
the bill to the state lawmakers for
their consideration, and tonight the
committees of the two houses which
will guide the measure through its
legislative channels Immediately
called a hearing.
