and teacher of mathematics in Oak
land High school for the past two
years, Merle "Rosie" Rosselle has re-
signed to accept position of the same
nature in his home town, Youngstown,
Ohio.
Before coming to Oakland, Rosselle
starred in basketball, football and
track at Mckinley High school in
Youngstown and later at West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan College. He was a
three-letter man and also captained
the Bobcat cage team during his

black of Wesleyan College.
Members of the local Board of Edu-
cation expressed regret at the loss of
Rosselle to the school system Of the
county. He is popular with both the
students and the townspeople and his
resignation leaves a vacancy that will
be difficult to fill.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR
AUTUMN LEAF EXCURSION
Baltimore and Ohio To Run Spe-
cial Here From Baltimore And
Washington, Sunday, Oct. 3
MOTOR TRIPS PLANNED

Arrangements were completed yes
terday for an autumn leaf excursion,
to be run by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad from Baltimore and Wash
ington, to Oakland, it was announced
this morning by Lawrence M. Fraley,
mayor. ~
The excursion, to be known as the
autumn leaf camera caravan, will be
run on Sunday, October 8. 1t will ar
rive in Oakland about p. m, and will
leave at $50, giving excursionists
four and one-half hours in which to
see the mountain scenery.
A tentative program outlined by
Mayor Fraley calls for a motor trip
to Harrington Manor forest, where
the recreational area is being con-
structed by the State Forestry De-
partment, thence to Swallow Falls and
Muddy Creek Falls, thence to Deep
Creek Lake.
Mr.. Fraley is asking the coopera-
ton of all public spirited citizens to
donate the use of their automobiles
on this occasion The Baltimore and
Ohio officials estimated that the
lowest number go expect would be 200
people from Baltimore, Washington
and intermediate points.
Arrangements for this excursion
were completed by Mayor Fraley, M.
w. Grove, travelling passenger agent
of the railroad company, and F. G.
Baugh, tour and excursion agent
Messrs. Grove and Baugh were in
Oakland on Tuesday and Mr.. Fraley
then went to Cumberland on Wednes-
day.
This will be the first excursion of
it's kind in this section. Plans for a
similar occasion were made last year
but the date set proved too late, as
all the autumn foliage had disap-
peared. A severe windstorm about a
week before the time set was one Of
the contributing causes.
Mr.. Fraley said that many of the
people who came here would want to
take pictures of the scenery.
Anyone volunteering the use of
their automobile for Sunday, October
8, is asked to call the City Hall and
inform ]. Frank Browning, clerk.

MARRIAGE PERMITS PASS
ZOO MARK In One MONTH
AlI-Time Record Is Established ;
West Virginia And Pennsylva-
MIA Responsible For Increase
LAWS SEND THEM HERE

For the first time in the history of
Garrett county the number of marri-
age licenses issued during any one
month from the Office of the Clerk of
the Circuit Court in Oakland passed
the two hundred mark, thus establish
ing a new record in this department of
public affairs. A total of 205 applica-
tions were granted during August, ap-
proximately so more than the previous
record.
Recently enacted marriage laws re-
quiring a two. or three-day wait in
West Virginia and Pennsylvania towns
were being credited with causing the
additional number of couples to apply
for licenses here. Maryland's three
day marriage law, passed at the last
session of the Legislature, will not be-
come effective until after a referen-
dunn vote is taken next year. The ref
erendum was made mandatory when
those seeking to have the law set aside
secured the names of 10000 persons
on petitions, hence the question will
come up for a decision at the election
in November, 1888.
During the past month 81 couples
securing licenses were from West
Virginia; 60 from Pennsylvania; IL
from Maryland; II from Ohio; one
from the District of Columbia, and the
others from California, Michigan
Iowa and New York. At times one of
the contracting parties was from West
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland OF
Ohio. During the first eight months OF
the year there have been lao licenses
issued.
During the week ending Monday at
noon Sc marriage licenses were is
sued. Eighteen of these were granted
Saturday and 10 on Monday. On the

the finals of the Western Maryland
junior tennis tournament are being
played on the clay courts at Mt. Lake
Park.
In the boys singles Andy Smith, of
Homecoming; and Ansel Knots, of
Morgantown, will battle for the cham
pionship. Both had tough matches
before reaching the finals, Smith
winning from Hubert Martin, of Nor

downing Jack Weber, local hope, Ga,
60.
The girls singles will find Jean and

tie. Both reached the finals without
difficulty, Jean Weeks defeated Bet
sey Weber, seeded number one and
last years winner, 60, 60; Mary
Emma Charles 6-1, 81; and Betsy
Downer 60, 60. Esther Lee Weeks
gained the right to meet her sister
in the finals through two defaults and
by defeating Cara Weber 81, 6-2.
Two local lads, Jack Weber and
Laural Whipkey, will oppose Smith
and Walter Eyler in the boys doubles
championship. This match should be
a most interesting one for it brings
together four of the tournaments
most outstanding players. ,+-r
The mixed doubles semi-inals are
scheduled for 1 p. m. with Walter
Eyler and Jean Weeks matched
against Betsy and Jack Weber and
Esther Lee Weeks paired with Mar

earned the right to battle for the
silver cup.
In spite of several postponements
the tournament has been successful
one, with attendance and competition
both being exceptional.

"FRANCIS' FOLLY"
PROVED ITS WORTH

Elghty-siX years ago James Bich-

a special guard lock to support, in
times of danger, an ordinary lock
at a certain weak point in the
towns canal system.
Although it was used once years
ago-and thereby won for the build

For nearly 86 years the guard
lock hung unused, suspended from
a shed roof. Then the recent Amer

New Device to Measure
Light of Stars Revealed

"A tiny instrument so sensitive ii
can detect the light of candle
5000 miles away was announced
by Dir. Albert z. Whitford as Q
measuring rule for the light of the
stars, writes California CORE
Spondent
Doctor Whitford said he had used
the instrument, photo-electric
cell about the size of a small light
bulb, to measure the brightness of
ii nebulae, or star systems. Only
one OF the group, he said, is visible
to the naked eye
In arriving at the apparent
brightness of each nebula, Doctor
Whltford compared it with a star
OF known magnitude The difficulty
he encountered was to integrate the
light of the diffuse luminous areas
OF nebula, any of which is so
large light would need 100, 900
years to travel across it.
The light of a star would appear
rs a needle point on a Photographic
plate, while the image of nebula
might be 2l2 inches across. Doc
tor Whitford used the photo-electric
cell attached to the 10-inch tele-
scope at Mount Wilson observatory
in order to ''include the necessary
area IN the field of view"
