Liquor Ailments

When prohibition came to an end
and it became legal again to sell
whiskey in certain parts of the United
States, it was the contention of deal
ers and others interested that proper
regulations would make the liquor in
dustry law abiding, and the country
better morally and financially.
There was that same contention
here when it became lawful to sell
beer. But the apparent freedom with
which whiskey is being sold today in
Garrett county doesn't bear out that
contention and is leading many to be-
lieve that before long there will be
another turning toward dry county.
The beer and liquor industry will be
the ones responsible, in the main, for
not obeying the laws.
This doesn't mean every one who
has license to sell beer is a violator,
for no doubt there are a number who
strictly adhere to the law. But it is
the ones who break over-who think
they aren't making money fast enough
and who begin to sell whiskey on the
sly-they are the ones who will be
the cause of it.
Another responsibility could very
well be laid at the door of the viola
tors, if anyone can be held responsible
for another's actions.
There are several in this community
to whom liquor is a constant curse.
They are unable, apparently, to sepa-
rate themselves from its use and are
therefore constantly under its in

Not Needed Here

MOI NEEDED Here
DR.. Riley, State Health director,
has given US a hot weather tip When
feeling exhausted from excess perspi-
ration on hot, muggy days, he sug-
gests a pinch of salt in water.
The remedy may be all right.
A much better remedy, to our mind,
is vacation trip to Garrett county,
where there aren't any "hot, muggy
days"
They could even be little warmer,
judging from the cool breezes of last
Sunday.
A list of salaries of WPA employees
in Maryland, released by the Associ-
ated Press in Washington, gives rise
to some interesting thoughts.
The list shows one hundred and
twenty-siX administrative workers
who receive more than $500 monthly,
% of them being more than 5000
monthly.
Adding together the entire list it is
learned that the monthly salaries total
$19,753, almost $4,000. This would
make quarter of million dollars an
nually This does not include those
who might make less than 500, ami
doesn't include the travelling expenses
of several of those in the list.
One gets as high at 1866 monthly,
another $500, two $3.50, and so on
down the line.
Bear in mind also that these people
are WPA administrators only. Not
included are the many other forms of
relief, welfare boards, etc.
All in all, administration costs for
all agencies certainly reach a high
figure. That much money would feed
many hundreds of hungry mouths-if
there were that many hungry mouths
to feed. If not-reducing the salaries
and jobs to a minimum would cut the
relief expenses nightly.
***
Meanest Thief-An editorial in the
Baltimore Sun on Tuesday called the
person the meanest thief in Baltimore
who broke into the office of the Mary
land League for Crippled Children and
took $3.50 from a desk. The money
was to have sent twelve youngsters
to a summer camp.
A criminal as contemplate as this
should not long remain at liberty. His
twin might be found in this county.
Last week the meanest man in Gar
rett county took truck into the Boy
Scout camp and stole lumber which
was being used to build kitchen and
dining hall. Money to pay for the lum-
Der had been donated by citizens of
Oakland. 1t certainly takes a lowsy
person to steal from such organiza-
tons. Such a person is lower than
Snakes tummy."

Need Of New Schoo
In Anacostia Told
AT Civic Meeting
Citizens Association
Fovors Overton Plan
And Parking Meters

The need of a new junior high
school in connection with the Ana
costa Junior-Senior High School
was brought forcibly to the atten-
ton of the Anacostia Citizens As
Sociation last night by Mrs. William
]. Plemmons, president of the Ana
costa Parent-Teacher Association,
who pointed out that while the
present schools capacity is 1910, the
September, 1888, enrolment was
1,505. The expected number of pu-
pills in September, 1899, will be
around 100, she said.
Glasses are held all over the
building ~ she added, even in the
cafeteria"
Playground Improvements Asked.
Mrs. Plemmons also stressed the
need of improvement in the play
grounds of the Van Buren School.
The Overton plan to increase Fed
eral share in District of Columbia
expenses was approved by the group.
Parking Meters Favored.
A resolution was passed favoring
continuance of the parking meters,
with a recommendation that time
limits for all meters be extended to
one hour. The resolution will be
presented at the public hearing in
the District Building February 10.

Local W. P. A. Foresees
No Drastic Cut

Otto j. Cass. deputy administrator
of the District Works Progress Ad-
ministration, said today he did not
believe any drastic cut in local w.
P. A. rolls would be necessary as
the result of Senate action in sus-
tanning the $150,0OO000 House cut
in the $875 600, 10000 deficiency relief
appropriation.
He said that areas with heavy sea-
sonal employment usually can bear
a large part of any necessary reduc-
ton. He added, however, that he
would not venture a guess as to
what cut may have to be made in
personnel here.
Mr.. Cass explained that the local
administration can economize by re-
ducing purchases of material to
spread employment, and that volun-
tary absences of employees can be
used to give work to others.
The Philadelphia regional Office,
he added, has assigned the Dis
trict a quota of II 400 jobs for Febru-
ary-a decrease of only 200 below
this months quota.

Plea at Dedication
OfPetworth Branch

Support Of the citizenry to hasten
construction of the new main IL
brary, plans for which are now being,
drawn, was urged by Dr. George r
Bowerman, District librarian, at the
dedication of the Petworth Branch
Library last night.
The new main library is to be
constructed in the Municipal Center
area, north of Pennsylvania avenue,
between John Marshall place and
Sixth street NV. At present the
plans call for construction of only
one unit of the new building
needed to relieve congestion at the
present downtown library.
Between two and three hundred
civic leaders and parents in the Pet
worth section turned out to hear
DR.. Bowerman and others speak in
the dedicatory program.
Randolph Makes Address.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee, appeared and
spoke briefly, congratulating the
neighborhood on realizing project
which was conceived a decade ago.
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, member
of the District Library Board Of
Trustees, received the keys to the
new building from Capt. H. S.
Bishop, jr., Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, and in turn handed them
over to DR.. Bowerman.
Other speakers introduced by Mrs.
Smith included: Mrs. Alfred C. Nor
cross, chairman of the Joint Library
Committee of the PetWorth Citizens
| Association; George w. Potter, pres
ident of the Petworth Citizens AS
sociation; Mrs. Oscar H. Nelson,
president of the Petworth Woman's
Club; Miss May P Bradshaw, prin-
cipal of Roosevelt Junior High; H. p
Stafford, principal Of Mcfarland
Junior High, and Miss Charlotte H.
Clark, librarian of the new branch.
The invocation was given by the
Rev. William j. Sweeney of St.
Gabriel's Church, and the benedic-
ton by the Rev. Henry J. Smith,
pastor of the Petworth Baptist
Church.
Building in Use Monday.
The Petworth Branch-costi1g
$4,000 and equipped with approx
mately $4,000 volumes-will be
opened to the public Monday at
9 am.
The building was designed and
plans were drawn under the direc-
ton of the municipal architect,
Nathan C. Wyeth, the style following
that of larger brick structures built
during the first half of the 18th
century.
The interior of the library Is de
signed to meet the most exacting
demands of the modern library. An
outstanding feature is the system
of indirect lighting throughout the
main reading rooms.
The first floor contains reference
and reading rooms for adults, while
the second floor is for children's S
work. In the basement is an assem-
bly, room available for meetings of
community organizations.
DR.. Bowerman said he hoped the
new branch would relieve some of
the overcrowding at the Mount
Pleasant branch.
