a man thinks Of the

He is generally more

the right to tell us when
there is a lack of har-

Not so long ago at a

heard of his great In

Clever Contribution


One of the best makeup kits
put out in many a day has just
been placed on the market by
a leading beautician.
It contains four shades Of a
cream rouge and five shades of
eye shadow. This eliminates the
sad plight of being forced to
hunt through your entire dress
ing table for the eye shadow
which compliments a particular
rouge and vice versa.
These new shades have all
the delectable names of Viola,
Printemps, Chariot, Victoire,
Military, Vert, with gold and
silver as well, for evening use.
The collection comes assem-
bled in a charming ivory-fin-
ished box, which does credit to
your dressing room.

boys have ambitions to be one or

He laid his gold within my hand.

Attempt To Remove Wheel
From Auto

While the auto of William Reyn-
olds was parked in front of the Ma
tional Bank here, on Friday after
noon last, some bold thief attempt
to remove one of the wheels from
the machine.
The very boldness of the affair
was it's best protection, as no one
would pay particular attention to
a person tinkering about machine
in public place, at busy time OF
the day.
Evidently the perpetrator of the
attempt theft was disturbed before
he had quite finished his task.
When Mr.. Reynolds returned to
his machine he saw nothing amiss,
and started in for home, {. short dis
lance from town. Just before he
reached his lane, one Of the wheels
of the auto came off, and the ma
chine plunged into the bank at the
roadside Fortunately Mr.. Reynolds
was driving slowly at the time, and
escaped injury.
Investigation proved that the burr
had been removed from the wheel,
and that the other wheels had also
been tempered with.

Relief Costs Mount In
Maryland
$11, 4O6, $40 Estimated For
Current Fiscal Year

Maryland's relief program for the

The board already has an unused
balance of $1,188,OO0 left over from

Elkton Taxi Drivers In
Scrap

While a caravan Of churchmen
were stumping the Eastern Shore In
favor of the 48-hour marriage law
which aimed at the marriage racket
in the Elkton Gretna Green and
other Maryland towns, the hearing
in the street fight between two local
taxicab. drivers identified with the
business Of soliciting marrying
couples was indefinitely postponed.
The hearing slated was that Of
William Calvert, 20 years old, who
was charged with assault by Leland
OFT, 45 years old after the two
fought on the street Wednesday
night. OFT works for a cab company
which owns Is of the 20 solicitors
licenses issued in Elkton since last
November when the City Council
passed an ordinance requiring solicit
tors to be licensed at 500 each.
The hearing was postponed in
definitely at the request of Edward
D. e. Rollins, States Attorney.
The charge was the result Of a
street fight, caused, it was said, by
bad blood between licensed and un-
licensed solicitors.
Calvert is employed by Joe Sipola
who opened marriage information
service recently and refused to pay
the. solicitors fee. He claimed the
licensing ordinance is unconstitu-
tional and has appealed.
Sipola is called an "0utlaw" solicit
tor. There has been some feeling
against Calvert by those who have
taken out licenses.
1t was reported that the fight be-
tween Calvert and OFT strated In q
contest for the patronage of q young
couple wanting to be married. This
was denied by the principals.

Cost ofPtopsr Road
Program
Needs Will Not Be Flied For
Thirty-Four Years Under
Present Financing

A total of $1O4,175,050 is needed
to put the highways of the State
into proper condition, candidates for
the Legislature were told in letter
sent to them by the Automobile Club
of Maryland.
Current needs call for 2,210.S2
miles of roads, sixteen bridges and
nineteen grade crossing Examinations,
but 1t will take thirty-four years to
complete the program on the basis
of the annual average appropriation
of $2,34O,S4O for construction, re-
construction and betterments, the
letter said.
1--WE cannot expect Maryland mo-
florists to wait thirty-four years to
receive the urgently needed highway
benefits for which they pay, and
which safety and improved traffic
conditions demand be given immedi-
ate attention." the candidates were
told.
1T is further evident that we can
not have the approved road system
for which motorists are psying-but
not getting-and take care OF SINK
ing fund charges on old State road
and bridge bond issues originally Is
sued IS charge against the general
fund.
THE same is true when sum
such as $1,786,000 is diverted to the
general government expense account.
The time has arrived for Maryland
to stop playing ostrich with the
highway problem.
Either it must be faced sQuarely
and honestly, and sufficient amount
of money made available for the
needed road improvement and con-
struction, or we must weakly admit
that we want the inadequate, unsafe
and backward kind of roads we have
in this State"
The letters were signed by c. M.
Fl lconer, president of the club. Ac-
companying them was a summary OF
highway data compiled by the organ
ization. The purpose of the letters
snd data Is to aid the candidates in
developing sound road planks for
their personal platforms, Mr.. Fal-
coner said.
According to the SUMMARY, mo-
florists paid in license fees. gas Is xes
and other incidentals a total Of $15,-
361,281.66 for the fiscal year OF
1889. This figure represents 42.6
per cent. of the total State taxes
paid.
Out Of this amount, it was calcu-
lated, a total of $6,123,2 27.O2 is
available for road construction and
maintenance after diverted funds
and fixed expenses are deducted.
But after a maintenance charge
of $3,O8O,078.58 is deducted, only
$3,043,198.44 is left for construc-
ton. reconstruction and betterment
purposes, the report went on.
To this amount the clubs sum-
mary added $1,60O,000 which was
restored to the motor fund from the
general bond issue, making a net
total of $4,643,198.44 available fo1
construction.
AS a solution to the roads prob
lem, Mr.. Falconer called the atten-
ton of the candidates to the sum
mary of the recommendations of the
Maryland Highway Advisory Com
mittee, which was submitted to Gov
ernor Nice during the last session
of the General Assembly.
