This development has sneaked up

realize how revolutionary it is. 1t
fits in exactly with the trailer and
the automobile, because anybody
whose culinary experience includes
the ability to boil water can select
a group of these things, and in
about five minutes prepare a meal
far better than the ordinary house
wife Of % years ago could dream
of making, with better quality of
food and better preparation.
One little gadget interested me.
Instead of depending on the taste
Of the chef or rough measurement
Of salt in a spoon, they have tab
lets of salt, from to so grains in
size, which go into cans Of different
klnuS, ACCORDING TO atpEeueCerIaHeu
measurement. The open cans swirl
along on platform, and a machine
drops exactly the proper amount of
salt at the rate Of 70 or $4,000 a
second-I forget which.
I am not yet prepared to advo-
cate canned meals all the year
around. They still should be sup
plemented with fresh fruit and veg

the talk hear about vacuum cook

Divorce Suit May Test
New State Law
Interesting Legal Points Invol-
we'd In Action Of Former
Senator's Case

The suit for a divorce filed by
former U. s. senator Joseph /.
France against his Russian born wife,
Mrs. Tatiana v. Dechtere brought
under the new acts of the legislature
of 1887, which makes separation of
husband and wife for five consecu-
tive years grounds for a divorce,
is expected to raise several inter-
esting law points If the wife decides
to contest the suit. The Circuit Court
has set no date for hearing the suit.
Mrs. France, who is relative of
the late Car Nicholas of old Russian
empire, is now living in France, and
court records at Elkton, where the
suit was filed, show that she received
notice of the divorce action there on
June 23, 1887. The suit of her hus-
band, a wealthy residnent of Port
Deposit, was filed June 8 by
Joshua Clayton.
The fact that they were married
in Paris ten years ago, both by civil
and religious ceremony, is seen as a
possible interesting law angle
to the suit, particularly in view of
the fact that the Maryland law un-
der which DR.. France filed his suit
was just passed by the 1887
Legislature.
The couple lived togather until
Sept. 81 1881. The parties have lived
apart for more than five years, the
bill of complaint says.

The storm that swept over this Sec
ton on Saturday evening assumed
the properties of cyclone northeast
of town, and much damage is
reported.
Much hail fell and there was a
deluge of rain. The full force of the
storm appears to have been in the vic
unity of what is locally known as
Little New York." about two miles
northeast of Rising Sun, and in the
Sylmar neighborhood.
Growing crops were whipped to
pieces by hail, fields badly washed by
the downpour of rain, and trees up
rooted and buildings damaged by the
terrific wind.
On the farm of J. L. Stephens a
number of trees blowned down, Mt.
Hope church damaged and barn on
the Reynolds property, at Sylmar,
wrecked.
The path of the storm was about
a quanter of mile wide, and several
miles in extent. 1t came suddenly
and was of shot duration.

State Employment Re-
tirement Plan
Created By Enactment OF The
1887 General Assembly
Of Maryland

Plans for the setting up of a State
employees retirement system TINS iali
were set in motion at an organization
meeting of the newly created board
of trustees of the retirement fund.
Col. Harry C. Jones, State Employ
ment Commissioner and secretary to
the board, said that while no retire
ment pensions can be granted until
after the beginning of the new fiscal
year October l, organization OF the
board was necessary preliminary
to this step.
The board was created by the 1887
General Assembly, which set up
fund of $4,000 a year to pay pen
sions to State employees retiring at
the age of 70 or more. 1t is comprised
of the following:
State Comptroller William S Gordy,
Jr., chairman.
Colonel Jones, secretary and ex
of1lcio member.
William II DIdhcuoh' oIa'O
Commissioner.
Harry A Klinefelter.
Henry G. Perring.
Between now and October l. the
State Employment Department Will
prepare a list of all employees who will
he eligible for consideration for pen
sions. There are estimated to be ap-
proximately 1875 altogether.
Under the provisions of the act,
employees to be eligible must be in de-
partments under the state merit sys-
tenn and must not be member OF any
of the four or more departmental re-
tirement systems now in existence.
If the board of trustees approves
their retirement they may receive
pension equivalent to one-seventieth
of their average annual salary for
the past ten years, multiplied by
the number of their years of continu-
Gus service.
In addition to employees reaching
the age of 70, those injured in line OF
duty also are eligible to consideration.
Colonel Jones said that the $4,000
would cover the retirement pensions
of 1875 employees, with slight margin
While the system is more or less
makeshift one, he said, it will cost
the state mush less at present than to
set up a reserve fund by bond ISSUE
Before the 1899 session of the Gen
eral Assembly, the Board of Trustees
is to report in detail upon the FEAST
bility and cost of both contributory
and non-contributory retirement
system for state employees, planned
as a long-range program.
