Ancient Jewish Ritual
Will Be Explained In
SecO Hall On Friday

The ancient Jewish ritual in con-
nection with their Sanctuary services
will be wildly enacted Friday night
at Seco Hall in Rockville, when
Evangelist George Vandeman will don
the garb of Rabbi, and with model
sanctuary in front of him, will per-
form the various sacred rites.
The tabernacle which will be ex-
hibited by Evangelist Vandeman is
one-third the size of the Mosaic Tab
ernacle that was used by the Israelites
in their journey through the wilder
ness. 1t appears to be over-laden with
gold, and is Illuminated so as to pre-
sent similar appearance as the orig
inal did, with the glory of God.
The Sanctuary service is of vital in
terest to very. Christian believer. AS
Evangelist Wargo explained last Fri
day night, the prophet Daniel assert
ed that the Sanctuary in heaven would
begin to be cleansed at the expiration
fthe $500 years, which terminated
in 1874. "Just as the Mosaic Taber-
nacle was cleansed yearly and was a
type of the Heavenly Ordinance, SO
the Heavenly Sanctuary which is the
antique must be cleansed of SIM" :

Commissioners Act
10 Investigate The
State Roads Mix-up
Paul Coughlan And Edward
Peter Visit Baltimore In Order
To Get Information M

Steps to meet the emergency aris-
ing from disclosures Of the overdrafts
shown in the account of the county
with the Maryland State Roads Com
mission were taken at a meeting Of
the County Commissioners on Tues
day. Commissioner Paul Cougnlan and
Edward Peter went to Baltimore yea
terday to attempt to ascertain the
true situation in regard to Montgom-
cry County. 4
Mr.. Peter, who is the new counsel
to the Board of County Commission
ers, said last night that the State
Roads chief auditor, W. A. Codd, veri-
fed the figures previously announced
as Montgomery's overdraft. The com
missioners plan to go into the matter
in detail.
John B. Diamond, former president
of the board, said that the board had
not been advised if any overdrafts
and that the revelation that the ca m
ty was behind $255,3OS.52 was .ws
to him and the rest Of the old ard.
He was of the opinion that the over
drafts were accountable to road NAM
tenance, as the majority of the b
road projects were built with Fed
Funds. Several Fusion officials "a
assume control of the county's
finances this month, expressed the be-
lief that the blame rested upon the
State Roads Commission.
Or. Charles H Conley, unsuccessfuf
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor, has placed the
blame for the mix-up in The State
Roads Commissions finances upon
Gov. Richie. William D. Byron, Dem
ocratic member of the State roads
group, has claimed that the funds
shortage will not affect the issuance
of new bonds.
Every phase of the present situa-
ton is part of the accountability Of
my administration, and am not will
ing to leave it for the next" Cover
nor Richie said, in promising full
report "on where, how and for what
purpose the commissions income has
been spent since 1892"
The Governor added that he has i'm
quired into the feasibility of an indie
pendent audit of the COMMISSIONS ac-
counts, as has been suggested by some
members Of the Baltimore Association
Of Commerce. He concluded that
such an audit is unnecessary because
the chief auditors accounts "are per-
fectly complete and accurate"
In announcing ms plans r.

into the Roads Commissions finances.
Mr.. Nice promised that regardless Of
the body's financial condition, the
roads system will be maintained
throughout the Winter.

State May Show
Deficit For End
OF Fiscal Year
Comptroller Gordy Says 1885
Status Depends On Gain In
Tax Collections

That there will be deficit in the
States finances for the fiscal year is
indicated in the States balance sheet
as of November 80, 1884. William S.
Gordy, State Comptroller, said yester-
day that the question of the deficit de-
ponds upon the extent to which tax
collections improve before September
80, 1885.
The balance sheet shows an operat-
ing deficit of $783, 049.02. This COM
pares with an operating surplus of
$344,192.34 when the 1884 fiscal year
ended on September 80 and with a
surplus of 81, $50, 1859 which existed
on October /, 1888.
Mr.. Gordy declined to discuss the
progressive deterioration of the
States financial condition, pending
the submission of his formal report to
the Legislature. The report is expect
ed to be presented early IN january.
The actual deficit is not as impor-
tant in itself, it was pointed out, as is
the trend it illustrates. Much of the
$783,049 deficit shown on the balance
sheet results from the necessity for
making heavy OUTLAWS of funds at the
beginning of the 1896 fiscal year.
State-aided institutions and schools
required over $250,000 as the first Of
the quarterly disbursements during
the year, it was said.
The significance, it was said, lies in
the fact that whereas at the beginning
of the 1884 fiscal year the State was
paying these initial obligations out Of
surplus funds, they are being paid this
year before the funds are collected.
Besides the cash available the State
had among it's assets 1924, 443.91 il
uncollected taxes. Of this amount
So, 284, 051.15 was due from county col
lectors and $640,395.76 from corpora
tions.
In addition various counties owec
the State total Of 500, 291.43 for the
maintenance of persons in State insti
buttons. The Federal Government alst
owed the State $1,694, 666.77 in Public
Works Administration grants.
Miscellaneous assets included certifi
Gates of beneficial interest for i'm
pounded bank deposits totaiing $31,
287 .O6; investments valued at 1888,
400, and property-buildings, land
bridges, roads, etc.-valued at Sill,
522, 1856.
The extent of the variation between
revenue anticipated for 1884 when thu
budget estimates were made TIVE
years ago and the amount actually
collected would be even greater bu
for the tax on liquor, officials said.
When the 1888 Legislature adopted
its budget for the fiscal years 1888
and 1934-35, the Eighteenth Amend
ment had not been repealed. Th'
State treasury, therefore, received
81 ,066, 665 from liquor taxes between
december 5, 1888, and September 80
1854, on which it did not plan.

By a resident of Montgomery County
slavery in Maryland, as | knew 1t,
was not the painful picture so often
Denoted in stories of that period; for
while the slave worked for the master
much of the labor expended was used
to supply the needs of the slaves.
Their clothing was all made on the
home plantation. The wool had to be
carded, spun, woven into material, cut
bv natterns, and made into clothing.
The mistress must superintend the
making of coats, pants, and dresses
in fact. see that about thirty or forty
men. women, and children were prop
erlv ,proyided for. All the stockings
were knit by hand from hand-spun
warn. One slave must be trained TO act
as cobbler and repair the shoes.
Each slave woman received ne"
cotton dress every summer and new
woolen dress every other winter.
In times of illness, the mistress
must see that the sick received proper
food and care.
Occasionally slaves were hlred out
to other families living near by, who
did not own slaves themselves. In our
home. we always hired our slaves
from neighboring plantations. They
were given passes to visit their fam
Files on the home plantation on satur-
dav night, as they were not allowed
70 wander around without permission.

When we went visiting there was
always a little colored boy to ride be-
hind US, to open gates. Very handy it
was too, to have him, as most homes
were reached by long lanes, with sew
eral large gates, to prevent stock
from wandering.
One little slave boy, I remember,
had rather ansinteresting story. But
to tell this story properly must go
back to one pleasant summer morning
when the Union forces, encamped
around our village during the Civil
War, made sudden and unexpected
departure to points farther North.
Unexpected to at least one person,
a small, wistful-eyed darby, a camp

age, who had unfortunately oversight
in near by corn patch that morning
He rubbed his eyes in establishment,
no men, no officers, no horses, no
friendly smells of bacon being cooked
for breakfast, all, all had vanished.
|. What was little darby boy to do
when his world disappeared as if by
magic? That was the question he had
to settle.
Across the cornfeld in the distance
curled the friendly smoke of a farm
house, dogs barked, a rooster crow
ed, and these homely sounds seemed
to beckon the little boy to the haven
