much of the testimony so that those of
our readers who could not get into the
court room might know what was tax

thought newspaper ought to do to
serve its readers-give them the facts
and let them form their own opinions.

the excellent work they did in bring

should commend them, especially the

Swallow Falls and Muddy Creek
Falls and the area round about al
ways hold a fascination for me. They
are particularly beautiful at this time
of year, with a good body of water 60
ing over both falls.
These beauty spots are attracting
people from many miles in every d.
rection.
1t is impossible to visit there too
often, or at least it has been so up to
this time.
In newspaper item in the Terra
Alta Republican twenty-three years
ago, is the following: cat it's meeting
Monday night the council passed
speed-limit ordinance, the facts be-
ing as follows: On State street the
limit is IL miles an hour; on Wash
ington street, six miles an hour, and
around all corners five miles an hour"
l wonder if the ordinance has ever
been repealed. If not, be careful how
you drive in Terra Alta.

There is petition being circulated
in Oakland this week. Providing ten
thousand Marylanders' names are
written there, it will be necessary to
have a referendum on the two-day
marriage law, recently passed by the
legislature before it becomes an eff
fective measure.
The law, which was to have gone
into effect June 1, requires an appli-
cant to wait 48 hours following ap-
plication for license, before tAs GER
emony can be performed. The, wereion
is sponsored by taxi concern "a aat99Itlk-
ton, and no Garrett countians, so far
as can be learned are responsible for
its preparation and circulation.

have been "rackets" here in connection

Some of the members of the Anal
gamated Society for the Prevention of
Work, who use up their spare time at
Harned's Drug Store, are still laugh
ing about an incident that occurred on
last Saturday night. One person re-
quired nine stitches, while another al
most laughed himself to death.
1t was raining Saturday evening
and the store was crowded with Gus
toners and near-customers. Archibald
son, the associate, entered the store
arrayed in white trousers. About that
time some lady, we're glad we don't
know her name, started to leave the
store.
Speaking to Archibaldson, one of the
Amalgamated Sons said: you're 60
ing to get your white pants all wet"
"Oh, don't believe so; I'm not going
far" the lady replied.

Julius C. Renninger gets a little pub
licity this week-if you happen to rec
ognize him.
An article in the magazine section of
the Baltimore Sunday Sun, entitled,
"Self-Salesmen from the Colleges -
carries his picture. The caption, how
ever explains that "last year Prince
ton senior paid his tuition from travel
bureau profits" In reality Mr.. Rem
ringer did this work several years ago,
and not only paid his tuition, but also
earned trip to Europe.
His name does not appear in the ar

Anonymous Communications
Any person who writes an anony-
nous letter to newspaper rarely has
a chance of ever seeing the letter in
print. People who do not sign their
names to their writings do not deserve
to have them published. 1t is an evil
dence that they are not in earnest or
hide their identity behind fictitious
signature.
But the one received this week by

FAIRFAX, Va, July 10.-Permits
for Improvements to existing buildings
counted a large share in the total
volume of building permits issued in
Fairfax County during the month of
June, according to report from the
Office OF the County Commissioner Of
the Revenue James U. Kincheloe.
A total of 81 permits was issued
during the month calling for new con-
struction work and improvements in
the aggregate Of Sl09, 400. OF this
figure, the report shows $32,700 COW
ers permits for improvements only,
with the remaining S76,700 for new
buildings.
While the volume of permits fell off
slightly in June as compared with
the month of May, yet permit values
for the first six months of the year are
slightly more than twice the amount
for the corresponding period in 1896.
Through June, 1896, permits in the
amount of 1923, 4O2 were issued. This
year the volume increased to s660,445.
Likewise SAL $50 more in building per-
mits were issued this June than for the
same month last year.
Because of the fact no permits are
required for improvements costing
less than $3.50, the commissioner of
the revenue pointed out the exact fig
ure on the amount of improvements
Is unavailable.
The number of deeds and trusts re-
corded in June also showed a slight
increase over the preceding month
and marked jump for the first six
months of the year in comparison with
the number through June, 1886.
According to County Clerk John
NJ. Whalen. Alb instruments were re-
corded in June against 40 in May
This brings the total for the first
six months up to 2079, a boost of 267
over the similar period in 1886 when
there were 1872 such recordations.

definitely In the field Of music or an
allied art, you will welcome the clever
decalcomania transfers which are now
available for use about the old home
stead.
These colorful bits OF decoration are
the grown up version of the flags,
base ball players and national heroes
which were being placed on various
parts Of the body by children some
years ago. They have a transparent
outer layer which enables you to see
exactly how they will look after they
are in place, and in matter of a few
minutes you can brighten up some
otherwise dingy spot with smart,
expertly executed design.
All you have to do Is moLsten the
decal, place 1t in the desired position,
remove the external covering and the
Job is done. Not only can you decorate
the walls of bath rooms with fish,
