CHARGE TO GRAND JURORS
Is DELIVERED BY JUDGE
A. A. DOub States Duties of
InquisitOrial Body and What
is Expected of Members
WILL PROBE MANY CASES

Monday morning the March term of
the Circuit Court for Garrett county
convened with Judge A. A. Doub on
the bench, who delivered the charge
to the grand jury. Ralph T. Thayer
is foreman. Many violations and al
legged violations are being probed by
the members of the body.
The judges address follows:
Gentlemen:
When you came here this morning
you were not the grand jury of Gar
rett County. You are now the Grand
Jury Of Garrett County for the March
term of this court. The reason is
that you have just taken upon your
selves an oath-the oath provided for
by the laws of this state, by which
you became, after your selection, the
Grand Jury of this county.
Twice every year the grand jury
is summoned to assist this court in
the administration of the law and
that has been going on now, ever since
the creation of Garrett County, in or
der to assist in the maintenance and
support of the law of this county, and
as l sat here and heard the ooth ad-
ministered 1 wondered whether you
and and all of US fully appreciated
what was going on. The first sem
tence of the clerk was, SIN the pres
ence of Almighty God, do you SOL
emily promise and declare -" and l
wondered if we fully appreciated that
there are certain Prescriptions upon
which that oath is based. First, the
existence of Almighty God; second,
His presence here; and third, that
there must be and is reward for
duty we'll discharged or some punish
ment for wrong doing, or for duty
neglected and not properly discharged.
l ask of you, therefore, that you con-
slider well the solemnity of the obliga-
ton which you have assumed. some
times wonder whether, if there is any
failure in criminal justice, if there is
any failure in observance and enforce
ment of the law, whether it is not due
in large part to the failure upon the
part of the people fully to realize and
be conscious of the matter to which l
have just called your attention. There
seems to have arisen in modern times
a feeling of Indifference to religion
and to the existence of Almighty God;
there seems to have grown up recently
a feeling that we must take every
thing on material basis, and as re-
suit of that we have been inclined to
pursue the material to the neglect Of
the things that are spiritual and more
important.
You are called here to assist in the
enforcement of the law, but it must
be remembered that the state cannot
exist merely through attempts at en-
forcement of the law. There must be

Flying Kites Near Wires Is Dan
gerOuS

March winds and the arrival of
spring have conspired to start many
boys out flying kites, warning has
been issued of the danger which is
entailed when kites come in contact
with electric wires. Man. serious ac-
cidents have occurred in the past
where boys played too close to cleo
trio wires and it is hoped mishaps
in this section may be avoided this
year.
In desire to eliminate unnecessary
accident, officials of the Monongahela
West Penn Public Service Company
urge parents to warn their boys of
dangers incident to flying kites near
electric wires, and will appreciate the
cooperation of the general public in
warning boys engaged in this youthful
sport under hazardous circumstances.

CONTROL OF PLANT LICE
BEING SOUGHT BY TESTS
Thought To Have Materially At
fected Pea Crop in County

In an attempt to bring about some
satisfactory method of control for
aphids, or plant lice, monthly tests
are being conducted in Garrett coun-
ty under the direction of the ento-
mology department of the University
of Maryland, in cooperation with the
Mt. Airy Canning company.
In each test conducted since last
October numerous aphids have been
found, according to John H. Carter,
county agent. The aphids are
thought to be the cause Of serious
injury to the pea crops here.
Aphids, or plant lice, which often
do serious injury to the plants they
infest, have curious life history
which DR.. P. w. Mason of the Bureau
of Entomology describes in the 1923
yearbook of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
eff we examine a branch of a tree
or other plant which is infested"
says Doctor Mason, 1--WE will see the
aphids in most species grouped to-
gether in colonies, usually either on
the under side of a leaf or along a
twig. They may be greenish, brown
ish, black or of other color, depending
on the species, or even covered with
mealy powder or long waXlike fila
ments.
"These insects have a very unusual
life history; one differing from those
of almost all other insects. The egg
is laid in the fall of the year, usually
on the bark of the twig. With the
coming of warm weather in the
spring this egg matches into what is
known as the stem mother. There are
no males until the next fall. The stem
mother gives birth to living young,
without the necessity of fertilization.
These young are all females, and,
when mature, give birth to other liv-
ing young. This continues through
out the summer, there being numer-
Gus generations. In each generation
there are usually some which are
winged and others which are wing
less, each form being fully mature.
AS the spring advances the number
of winged forms increses, until, in
the case of many species, they fly
away to an entirely different kind of
plant. Plants so chosen are known as
summer hosts; on them new colonies
are started, and there may be several
generations on them before the re-
turn migration to the winter host.
On the latter the true sexes which
have been produced mate and the
eggs are laid.
"Thus we see that there are several
forms of aphids, such as the stem
mother, the wingless viviparous fe-
male, the winged viviparous female,
the male, and the egg-lying female.
These may vary considerably from
each other in appearance and have
often been described as distinct spe-
cies."

BEER SALES PLANS In THE
COUNTIES ARE CONSIDERED
Garrett Delegation Will Seek To
Retain Present Stringent Local
Option Statutes
SCHOOLS TO LOSE S1,OOO,OO0

Annapolis, March 22-Antici-
pating the immediate return of
beer and Statewide legislation
permitting it's sale, members of
virtually all of the county dele
cations in the General Assem-
bly, turned their thoughts today
to modification of their local OPP
tion laws, many Of which date
back into the pre-prohibition
era.
Some of the counties-notably Bal
timore, Charles, st. Mary's and Wash
nigton-already have taken steps
looking to the return of beer, but
others have deferred action until now.
Today, however, number of propos-
ais were ready for presentation in one
house or the other of the legislature.
Some Still Waiting
Some counties still hold off, await
ing an opportunity for study of the
provisions of Statewide bill which
has been prepared by Attorney-Gen-
eral William Preston Lane after a
series of conferences.
st. Mary's county was in the van of
all of the localities which save init
ated action, a bill repeating outright
it's local option laws already having
passed both House and Senate and
been sent to the Governor.
Montgomery and Allegany counties
are the only ones which did not have
local option statutes when prohibition
went into effect.
Proposals on File
Other counties whose proposals are
alredy on file are:
Baltimore County-Revision of its
local laws to permit the sale of beer,
fixing license fees of 5000 for retail
ers and 5000 to $500 for wholesalers;
forbidding sales across the bar. This
bill also is so worded as to apply to
hard liquors in the event of repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment. 1t has
passed the Senate.
Charles County-Revising the local
option laws to premit the sale of beer
and, later, the sale of hard liquors
if the Eighteenth Amendment is re-
pealed. License fees for beer, $3.50.
Washington County-Repeal of the
local option laws subject to refer
endum.
Garrett Will Seek to Retain Law
The comments from leaders in other
counties included:
Garrett-Undecided but will seek
to retain present stringent local OPP
ton statutes. May ask exemption
from Statewide law.
Allegany-Plans beer licensing law
after study of Statewide act.

TO RUN TWO DAYS

Several hundred leaders In the motor

In addition to formulating policies,
the convention will elect national OFF,

dent, secretary, treasurer, directors and
an Executive Committee.
Thomas P. Henry OF Detroit, pres1-
dent of the A. A. A., declared that
in addition to making plans for oppos-
ing new tax raids, which may In
clude tests of the constitutionality OF
some of the proposed levies, other con-
vention keynotes will be demands for
more attention to the elimination OF
traffic hazards and wider acceptance
of legislation to control reckless drtv-
ing.
Despite a widespread effort to lower
taxes. Henry said in a statement, Con-
gress has resorted to new levies on the
already overburdened motorists.
In addition" he said, new tax raids
on car owners are now proposed In
the form of municipal levies. Par
ticularly significant is that in New
York City, which calls for city regis
tration fee equal to that now imposed
by the State and heavy tolls on a num-
Der of city-owned bridges. It is high
time to draw line as to which agency
of government will levy motor taxes
and to fix limit on the amount to be
paid"
