ANNE ARUNDEL
AUDIT URGED

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 17.-Express-
ing the belief that the board OF
commissioners of Anne Arundel
county "will be held criminally
liable by releasing the bond of the
late (county) treasurer without a
complete audit" of his books, the
county efficiency and economy
commmittee today requested that
an audit of tax collections for back
years be made.
The organization pointed out
that various complaints by tax
payers and "other information
gives evidence that the late treas
urer's accounts and records are in
a muddle," and recommends that
the proposed audit be made "by
some reliable firm of account
ants"
These suggestions were laid
down before the board of county
commissioners at its meeting today
by the committee, which is headed
by John Dep. Douw, president of
the local bank of the County Trust
Company.

CONSTITUTION
CHANGE ISSUE
IN PA. VOTE

HARRIS BURG, Sept. IT
I.N.SO.-Political eyes of the
nation turned toward Pennsyl-
vania today as the Keystone
States army of more than four
million voters trooped to the polls
under sunny skies to decide
whether they want machinery
set up for constitutional revision.
The possibility of presidential
campaign on a constitutional is
sue next year and the fact that
revision has been made an out
and-out partisan question within
the State, tagged the votes as a
weather vane for strategiStS plan
ming next years national cam
paign.
Many Offices at Stake
In addition to the question OF
calling a constitutional conven'
ton, voters were giving a Demo-
crat from field Of two and Re
publican from a field of seven
nominations to the Supreme
Court, tantamount to election, and
were nominating candidates for a
superior court vacancy and hun.
dreds of local offices, including
the Philadelphia mayoralty.
Before the bitter struggle for
and against revision, however,
even the torrid Philadelphia mu-
nicipal primary faded into Sec
ondary Importance. The Demo
cratic administration, first in
Pennsylvania history in 40 years,
has made the issue a flat approval
or reputation of it's first nine
months in office, an action which
brought Republican organization
strength into the opposition field
with business and industry and
the State grange.
Earle Presses Fight
Gov. George H. Earle himself
asserted on the eve of what was
expected to be a record-breaking
off-year vote that the problem
now is to follow through" and ex-
tend liberal" government beyond
its toehold on the administration
and State house to the courts and
fundamental law.
In Philadelphia, John B. Jack
Kelly, sculling champion. was vir-
tually sure of the Democratic
mayoralty nomination. M. B.
Hadley. city treasurer. and S.
Davis Wilson. city controller, both
Fusion ticket winners last year,
were leading the pack for the G.
o. P. plum.

Player

miere is that the author should nave practiced up so that he could have taken his bows with bit more savoir-faire.
 With Alan Wallace, director of the Civic Theater's plays, who took the leading role of Professor Maitland Farraday, the offering moved along smoothly and a fin- ished production resulted.
 With MT Wallace setting tke pace, the play clicked like Notre Dame football team going at top speed. He was good in the Civic Theater's presentation of Good Bye Again" last year, but last night he played the role Of the clever professor as though 1t were written especially for him.
 < The audiences reaction to Mir Vosburgh's play might be taken from the comment of one of the notables in attendance who said, T did not know he had it in him. Im- agine him sitting in his little room in the newspaper office, having all those. thoughts, and the ability to put them into writing so cleverly."
 Farfaday System
 Especially humorous were Pro- lessor Farraday's description of his financial plan to end the deprcs- sion and his Farraday system of playing bridge.
 MT Wallace was ably assisted hy Nora Fauchald Morgan, playing the role of Mrs Farraday, wife of the professor. She was given d grand opportunity to display her histrionic ability and she came through faultlessly. Masihelle Hinton as the daughter, around whom the play revolved, played her part with perfection as did Russell Hickman. the butler, and Joseph Daly, newcomer to tke Civic Theater. Miss Ruth Stibbs as the pupil of Professor Farraday, although given small part, dem- onstrated that she has ability that could be brought out with G meatier part. Walter Deacon as the suitor for Peggy's hand had a difficult part, but played 1t well and Josephine Canty as Aunt Fl

PASSOVER FEAST
 OBSERVANCESET
Jewish People Will COn- duct Services in Homes
 for Week of April I7

The Jewish people will usher in the celebration of Passover, the Feast of Emancipation, on Wednesday evening, April 17, 1885, with service in the home. Pass over is celebrated for a period of seven days during which time no leavened bread Is eaten. Orthodox Jews observe the holiday for eight days. It ranks as one of the most important holidays In Jewish life because of its historic background and because of its signal message to mankind at large.
 The origin of this festival may be traced to the time when Israel dwelt in Palestine and engaged in agriculture and the coming of spring was of special significance.' It marked the beginning of the barley harvest. The people took the first fruits of their harvest to the Temple &t Jerusalem, and o9- fered them to God with joyous thanksgiving. Passover began Us a nature festival, but with the passage of time it's appeal as a nature festival gradually disap- peared, and instead an historical element, the stroy of the deliver ance of the Children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, became US dominant motif,
 The story, as given in the book of Exodus, tells how the Pharaohs who ruled over Egypt enslaved the Children of Israel who dwelt in their land. Beneath the lash of the taskmaster thet Hebrew slaves labored under cruelty rigorous conditions, building cities, palaces and pyramids. Moses sought to deliver them from their misery and suffering. Again and again he appealed to Pharaoh to send them out of the land of Egypt as free men, but in vain. Finally, when the first-born sons of Egypt were smitten, Pharaoh let the people or Israel go and Moses led them through the wilderness to the foot of Sinai where the law of God was revealed to them, and they were consecrated to the observance and promulgation of this law.
 This vivid account has inspired the Jewish people to cherish through the ceturies the vision of freedom, and to dedicate the Passover observance to the attain. ment thereof for all mankind.

 Respond to Curtain CaIIs-Audence Entfluses

A professor halts his teaching of 18th century history long enough to gtraighten out the marital aims of his goth century-minded daugh. ter and in so doing provides some highly entertaining situations and humorously clever lines. That, in substance, is the plot in Your Young Men," a three-act comedy from the pen of William w. Vos- burgh, Jr., local newspaperman, presented by the Waterbury Civic theater as a premiere showing in the theater's auditorium on Leav- enworth street last night.
 Indictment weather failed to dampen the spirit of the audience or the ardor of the actors in the play. Despite the weather con- ditions good attendance was on hand for the first of the foar nights showing of the play.
 The play kept the interest of the audience at high patch throug- out and not infrequently did the players have to pause while laud laughter greeted unusually hu- morous sallies.

GRADE CROSSING
 PROVISION MADE
By PAUL MAY

Washington, D. C., April 1o.- Connecticut will get $72S,000 for road and highway construction and improvement, and $874,000 for elimination of grade crossings, un- der the terms of the work relief bill.
 These figures were contained in a table presented on the floor of the Senate by Senator Carl Hay den of Arizona, ''in order that the Senate may be informed as to tine apportionment of funds appropri- ated" by the bill.
 The method of computing the state allotments for these projects under the work relief bill, are somewhat complicated. The high way allotment Is based on pro. portional index in which Federal aid already allotted is weighted 7-S and population Is. The grade crossing elimination allotment for each state IS based 1-2 on popula. tion, IA on mileage on Federal aid high system, and IA on rail-. road mile age within the state.

Guiding all its Piggy Wiggly out
lets in South Texas.
From a small beginning In Kerr
vile years ago when a little red
headed boy delivered groceries for
his mother with a small wagon, the
organization has grown by leaps
and bounds, partly because 1t has
always followed the policy OF shar-
ing profits with the customers and
partly because much Of the money
has always been put back into the
business in the form Of new or en-
larged stores.
Brownsville and San Benitc
stores were enlarged in 1884 and the
Harlingen store moved into a build
ing owned BY the company. The
Mercedes store Is now located in q
big new space. 5Oxl5O feet on the
main street and the Weslaco store
was moved to a new and larger
location, 40x90 feet. The Donna
store was moved last year to a big
building facing the highway ano
the Pharr store was moved thi:
year. Missions Piggy Wiggly store
was moved into larger quarters
only this SCNtember. The EdinburG
store was enlarged ia 1888.
In other towns In South Texas
new stores have been opened. III
every instance where a store ha:

Improvement in the equipment anC
