TO MAKE AN INEXPENSIVE
HAT BOX; SIMPLE TASK
To make your own hat box is sim
pie.
Does it sound like quite an
order? It's really not hard, and
you'll have something individual
and distinctive, yet inexpensive,
says writer in the Washington
Star.
Decide on the shape and size of
box you want and ask your gro
Ger for wooden one with a COW
er. There are several ways of
finishing. For plain box, enam-
ell it inside and out, add design
on the cover, and there you are.
For a fancier one, use round
box covered with pretty Gre
tonne. Line the inside first, cut
ting a strip a little wider than
the depth of the box and long
enough to go completely around
it. Glue it on smoothly, over
tapping it on the bottom. Now
cut a piece to fit the bottom and
glue it in place. Line the cover
the same way, inside and out,
and you're ready for the outside.
Measure the box to where the
cover fits down, cut strip of
cretonne the necessary length
and width and glue it in place.
Now bore a small hole in the
center of the cover, insert the
small end of a bronze curtain
ring, slip a piece of wood or
metal through it on the inside,
and you have a handle to COM
plete your box.
For a square box, cut the ma
terial to fit two sides at time,
to keep it even and smooth, then
work the same way as before.

Paint Brightens Toys

In the basement or the attic many
of us will find old toys the children
have discarded. Christmas is al
most here and much joy can be
brought into the lives of less fortu-
nate youngsters if we get out these
toys, give them coat of gayly col
ored enamel and distribute them
ourselves or turn them over to
social agency to be handed out to
needy youngsters on st. Nick's day.

WIDER GRAIN
ROAD URGED

UPPER MARLBORO, Md,
July 28.-Unanimous indorse-
ment of the campaign in Prince
Georges county for the widening
of the Grain Highway, scene of
the tragic accident Thursday
night which took the lives of
seven persons, has been given by
the county board of commission
erS.
Upon a motion offered by Com.
missioner Joseph H. Blandford,
the board voted to ask for State
and Federal funds to enable the
State Roads Commission to carry
out the project.
Capt. Vinton D. Cockey, a mem
Der of the commission, asserts that
although the road was entirely
adequate to carry the tourist and
summer resort traffic at the time
it was completed, it has since be-
come an arterial highway for
truck and bus traffic carrying
produce from the South to Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York
markets.
At the point where the accident
occurred last Thursday, the road
is not wide enough to permit the
passing of two large trucks or
buses unless one or both of them
go off the shoulder of the road.

MONTGOMERY
MERIT ROLL
OFFERED

ROCKVILLE, Md, July %.
Montgomery county's merit system
was a step nearer installation to-
day as Ira C. Whitacre, clerk to
the board Of county commissioners,
submitted to the State Civil Serv-
ice Commission a list Of opproxi-
mately 200 county employees for
consideration under the new setup.
An act of the past session of the
State legislature rovided for the
placing of practically all county
employees under the merit system,
which will take effect November /.
The list of those eligible for con.
sideration was requested by State
authorities, Mr.. Whitacre ex.
planned.
Some in Doubtful Class
However, at the present time
there are some on the list who are
in the doubtful class, according to
Mr.. Whitacre. They are those now
employed in the clerk of the Cir
cult Court office, the recorders
office and the Sheriff's office.
Since these employees are not
hired by the county commissioners,
there is some doubt as to whether
they will come under the merit
system, Mr.. Whitacre said, but a
ruling on the question is now be-
ing sought from Attorney General
Herbert R. O'Conor.
While the law provides for an
open examination in the county
prior to September 80, to select
candidates for the positions to be
filled, Fusion leaders of the county
are jubilant over the fact that ap.
proximately 1875 of their appoin-
tees are now in office and will
receive a per cent credit for
each years, service when they take
examinations.
Leaders Shocked
When the measure was passed
by the legislature it received the
support of the Democratic forces,
who believed, like State Senator
Stedman Prescott of Montgomery
county, that the effective date
had been changed to January /,
1899, instead of November l, 1887.
Democratic county leaders suf-
fered a great shock when they
were informed that the bill was
passed and signed by Governor
Nice carrying the 1887 date.
Also to be placed before the
attorney general is the question
of whether several hundred en-
ployes of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Washington SUI
burban Sanitary Commission,
which serves both Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties, will
be eligible for appointment under
the merit system.

whether the development of the
airport and the control of it was
by the Government or by the air
port company.
He made the latter assertion
when Representative R.. Ewing
Thomson CD of Texas, declared
that he will offer as a substitute
for the May bill proposal that
the Government take over and
develop the Washington Hoover
Airport. Thomson said:
II don't think we need two
airpOrts here. Let's fix this
observation-disclosures Airport up
and make it a good one and let
the Government run it."
Fears Delay
johnson said he had no obiec.
ton to that proposition except
that he feared it might delay Con-
gressional approval of improving
the airport.
AS to the suggestion that the
Washington Hoover airport is
flooded in times of high water,
johnson declared that at a small
expense dykes could be built
around the airport where it
borders on the river so as to keep
the water entirely out at all times.
Another advocate of the bill was
Col. E. S. GorreIl, president of the
Air Transport Association of Amer
lea, who told the committee that,
although he had no objection to
proceeding with the Camp Springs
airport for use of tranS-continental
traffic and for use when blind
flying is developed, Camp Springs
will be at least an hour away from
downtown washington. He said:
"PeOpIe will not take taxis to
go to an airport that far away
and we will have to run buses
there. But these buses will have
to stop en- route at all the big
hotels downtown, and that will
make the trip fully an hour"

COUNTY DOCKS
POLICE BILL

ROCKVILLE, Md, July %.
Montgomery county's police de-
partment and bureau of identifi-
cation were doomed to lose two
priced pieces of equipment today,
a machine gun and a new camera,
because they were purchased with
out authorization of the county
commissioners.
Both pieces of equipment were
in possession Of their respective
departments yesterday before the
board members learned of their
purchase at a price totaling nearly
$500.
Despite the arguments of Chief
]. William Garrett and Detective
Sergt. Theodore Vollten on the
merits of the two new articles, the
commissioners voted unanimously
to refuse to pay for them.
This also resulted in the COM
missioners issuing a new order
that in the future no purchases be
made in any but the school depart
ment without their authorization.
In response to a request from DR..
Homer E. Tabler, chairman Of the
Maryland state Roads Commits
sion, for the commissioners to set
the wage scale to be paid workers
on county and State roads in Mont
gomery county, the following wage
scale was adopted: Foremen on
roads, SO cents an hour: truck driv-
ers, As cents an hour, and laborers,
40 cents an hour. This is an in
crease of 5 cents an hour over last
years scale, the commissioners
said.
