SHOW is YOUR CHIMNEY?''

GLOW is your chimney" is a
well-timed question to put to
citizens of Maryland, following
a report by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters which
shows that the principal cause
of fire in this state during 1881
was defective flues and CHM
neys, resulting in a loss OF
$780, 20.
Original poor construction OF
chimneys and hazardous con-
ditions developing later, are
the underlying causes. In
connection with it's report, the
National Board recommends
that chimneys be solidly built
from the ground up. They
should not rest upon platform
of any kind in the house or out
side, as this will settle, possibly
developing cracks in the chin
ney, permitting sparks to es-
cape into the walls. Most ur-
gent of all, floor beams should
be carried around the chimney
so that they cannot touch it.
If these timbers are supported
by the chimney. the ends will
exert tremendous leverage
when the building settles.
Cracks will become larger each
year, until heat and sparks can
pass into the concealed space
between ceilings and floors.
All chimneys should be equip
ped with an approved fiue lin
ing.
It is equally important that
chimneys be kept in condition.
They should be inspected and
cleaned thoroughly each year.
If soft coal or oil-burning
equipment is used, a hazardous
layer of SCOT usually forms on
fiue walls. Even when hard
coal is used, SCOT should be
cleaned from smokepipes and
the bottom Of the chimney at
least once a year.
In the entire United States
the total loss due to chimneys
during 1881 amounted to $685.
921,O46. "Safer chimneys!"
should have a place among the
national slogans.

A rather rare and unusual
species of holly, having yellow
berries, was located recently on
the Eastern Shore, in Kent
county. The bushes were iden-
titled by Forest Warden Ernest
Hemming, owner and manager
of the Eastern Shore Nurseries
at Easton, as a rare species of
English Holly. The trees in
Kent County were raised from
berries sent to Maryland from
the old country.

STATE REPEATER CONVEN.
TION

A joint legislative committee
on Friday selected October 4,
1893, as the date for the hold
ing of a Constitutional Con-
vention to cast Maryland's vote
for or against repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
With the convention called
to meet in the Capitol at An
napolis exactly six months at
ter the General Assembly adj
journs, this State may be
among the first to act on the
question.
Delegates to the convention,
under the proposed bill, would
be elected on September IL, De-
tenders Day, legal holiday in
Maryland.
The committee is composed
Of Senator John HI. Bouse
(Dem., First Baltimore dis
trict), Senator Ridgely P. Mel
vim dem, Anne Arundel)
Delegate George Hofferbert
(Dem., First Baltimore dis
trict), Delegate Dougles H.
Gordon Dem, Second Balti-
more district), and William
Preston Lane, Jr., Attorney
General. The body expects to
have a bill setting up the ma
chinery for the election and
convention ready for introduc-
ton this week.
According to an agreement
reached by the committee, the
legislative act calling the con-
vention and providing the cleo
ton machinery will name
twenty-nine persons to act as
nominators of candidates for
delegates.
A nominator would be des-
ignated for each of the twenty
three counties and one would
be named for each of Balti-
more's six legislative districts.
The convention would be
composed of only twenty-four
delegates, three from each
Congressional district and six
from the State at large.
The nominators would be
charged with the duty of desig-
mating nine candidates for del
egate in each Congressional
district and eighteen candi-
dates-at-large. Three of each
districts candidates and three
at large would be pledged for
4 repeal, and similar number
against repeal, and three in
each district and three at large
I unpledged.
This will mean that Balti-
{ more city, dominated by the
liquor interests, would elect
more than a third of the dele
gates and even be placed in the
position of casting the deciding
votes for delegates at large and
control of the convention
which leaves no doubt of it
voting wet.

NEW D EAL SEES
OLD FACES At
WHITE HOUSE

A panorama of faces is filing
into the White House these days
that have not crossed the threS-
hold since the Wilson administra-
ton.
This is quite understandable,
because Franklin Roosevelt, as
Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
was a member Of the wartime
Presidents official family.
One Of the first to show up
by invitation, Of course-was
JosephuS Daniels, who, as Will
sons Secretary of the Navy, was
once President RooSevelt'S boss.
Daniels went away carrying the
portfolio that carries him to the
American Embassy in Mexico
City.
william Gibbs McAdoo, now a
United States Senator from Cali
fornia, who married woodrow
Wilson's daughter and was Sec
retary Of the Treasury in his
Cabinet, is frequent caller.
Col. Edward M. House, the
mystery man" of the Wilson ad-
ministration, has been in to see
Mr.. Roosevelt several times.
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, who
was Mr.. Wilson'S personal physic.
ian, also is q frequent visitor, be-
ing interested in civic affairs Of
the Nations Capital.
Ray Baker, erstwhile Director
of the Mint, whose sartorial per.
lection is the dispair Of would-be
well-dressed men, ruShes in and
out with the same old infectious
grin.
Baruch Is Valuable
Bernard M. Baruch, New York
financier, who held his only of.
ficial position under Mr.. Wilson
as a wartime dollar-a-year. man
is being leaned upon heavily in
the Roosevelt councils Of eco
nomic war.
George Creel, publicist who di
rected woodrow Wilson'S Com

ing the World War, is another
to return to his haunts Of yore-
albeit, it is whispered, only for
the purpose Of getting friend a

although these were not in large guam

The stock market continues to
reflect the uncertainty and con-
fusion in trading circles. Yester-
days early rally again failed to
attract a following, and a thin
market developed when some sell
ing developed in the afternoon.
Apparently a further readjust-
ment of speculative ideas is going
on due to temporary shelving of
the initiation drive.
Some pool selling is reported in
q number of recent favoriteS.
Most of this is profit-taking, but
some is attributed to pressure to
pay up part of the money bor-
Towed to finance the operations.
Some liquidation of wheat. de-
veloped yesterday for the account
Of one of the big bulls on the
grain. This caused some agita-
ton. It was discovered later that
the seller hadn't changed his idea
on the longer term trend but
merely took some profits.
That activity in American
Telephone represented selling out
Of a stale bull position.
The fact that it was done
through a house with high bank
ing connections was not as i'm
portant as it seemed at first
glance.
Some of the gold mining COM

Farmers Organize
at Call of U.F.L. for
3.5 Cent Milk Price
Against Increase in
Retail Prices

PERTH, N. Y.-More than 400
farmers from Montgomery and Full
ton Counties attended farmers and
producers meeting in the Perth High
School recently where they were ad-
dressed by Charles Rivers, organizer
OF the United Farmers League. Rivers
called for unity OF action between the
destitute small and middle farmers
and the workers. The main question
taken up at the meeting was the &C
ton of the Milk Board in refusing to
fix a minimum price for the farmers.
The farmers passed the following
demands to be presented to the
Board
1-Three and half cents for milk
that has per cent butterfat for the
six months beginning with April II
which is to be mandatory.
2-Four cents for milk that has
more than per cent butterfat.
3-Four cents for the remaining
six months.
1.-The increase to the farmer is
not to be met by jacking up prices
for the consumer. The milk trusts
must pay for this increase.
A meeting Of farmers is to take
place May to hear the report Of
