GUESTS ARE NEVER THIEVES
Confinvsd from preceding pose

Winnie Gladstone, the movie star
with the lovely legs. Winnie went for
clocks. the little gold-plated time
pieces which were in the living rooms
of all suites. She took a good one the
first time she stopped there, and the
Harden House did nothing. They'd
have preferred that she take a less
costly souvenir - like the little brass
ash trays. which disappeared by the
thousand. But still, Miss Winnie
Gladstone was welcome - her bill,
for a week, ran over two hundred
dollars, and she had brought her
favorite suitor, whose bill ran con-
siderably more.
But the second time she stopped
there, which was the second time the
gold-plated clock disappeared from
her suite, something obviously had
to be done. Nothing indicate, of
course. The third time she arrived,
Murphy went to the clock-winder and
said: you've got lot of old worn-out
clocks that have to be thrown out,

''Yup," said the clock-winder. But
We don't throw 'em out. We sell 'em
for forty cents each to the junkman."
Put one of them in l4O8 - while
the guest is out - and take away the
clock that's there now.'
1t didn't seem to make a bit of
difference to Miss Gladstone that the
clocks didn't 60. One disappeared
with her every time she stayed there.
She seemed we'll satisfied, and the
Harden House didn't mind.
Murphy sighed, thinking it over.
All that delicate work was going to
smash. He had gone to Mr. Boardman,
the senior manager. directly after the
interview with Danvers. He had tried
to point out how impossible it would
be. had tried to draw a picture of
Glarnan. the house detective, stepping
up to Mrs. Hollister as she was leaving
and saying. sternly, Madam, you
have stolen some of our silver. Give
it up or be arrested" Or stopping Mrs.
De Coursey-Browne and demanding
the towels she had stolen.
But MIR. Boardman hadn't been
much help. Boardman had shuddered
slightly as Murphy drew these word

MIR. Boardman had muttered. "Is
this hotel - or a reform school?
Are we catering to people. or angels?"
Then he went. irrelevantly. off on his
favorite topic - the perfect guest.
He told Murphy, for the tenth time,
that he had been in this business
thirty-five years now and he had never
met any such thing among the hun
dreds of thousands of guests he dealt
with. They all had faults. Either they
burnt holes in the rugs with cigarettes,
or SCARED furniture with burns, or
used counterpanes to clean their shoes.
or let the rain blow in open windows
and ruin draperies, Or and so on
endlessly. "But," he concluded, those
are the people We make our money
from. Can't Danvers see that?" But
when it came right down to concrete
suggestions, he was useless.
well, let's tell Danvers fatty we
can't do it," Murphy suggested.
Mr.. Boardman coughed. 1--WE can't

"Ah-I'll leave that to you,
Murphy. Tell him - ah - that a great

placement cost, since the replacements
would come sooner or later, anyway"
He'd say 5000 is worth saving"
"Well-I'llleavei it to you, Murphy.
You think it over"
So now Mr.. Murphy stood in the
lobby. thinking it over unhappily.
He bowed to Mrs. Arnold Burton,
just leaving. In her trunk she'd have
at least two pictures from the walls
of her room. They cost the hotel a
dollar each, and her bill, he noted.

Gasoline Tax In u. S. Marks It's
10th Anniversary Saturday

Taxpayers of Maryland have paid
Sill, 100000 in State and Federal
gasoline taxes since the first gasoline
tax was enacted in the United States
twenty years ago, Mr.. P. S. Cochran,
chairman of the Maryland Petroleum
Industries Committee, declared few
days ago. Saturday, February 25th,
was the 10th anniversary of the pas
sage of the, first gasoline tax in the
United States. On that day the Oregon
legislature enacted a tax of one cent
a gallon on gasoline for highway i'm
provement and maintenance, and set
precedent which every State in the
Union has since followed.
The State gasoline tax was inau-
gurated in Maryland in 1922, and since
that time it has cost taxpayers $685.
$4,000. In addition, the Federal gaso-
line tax has cost motor vehicle opera
tors of the State 14,701, 900 since the
Federal levy was inaugurated in 1882.
During the year just ended, it is es-
timated that $12,479,0OO was collected
in this State from the gasoline tax,
$9,928,000 coming from the State and
$2,551,00 coming from the Federal
tax.

THE REPUBLICAN BEGINS
ITS SIXTY-THIRD YEAR
TOday's Issue Marks Start On
Another Milestone Of History

Birthdays have habit of arriving,
for newspapers as well as for individ-
uals, and with today's issue The Re-
publican enters upon its sixty-third
year.
The paper was founded February
%, 1877, the first number appearing
the following Saturday, March 4, 1877,
two days after Rutherford B. Hayes
was declared elected President of the
United States and one day prior to his
Inauguration as such.
Down through the years, several ex-
ira Thursdays have slipped into the
calendar and the 1887 volume really
had 55 papers, just so the siXty-second
volume could start on the date nearest
the date upon which the first paper
was published. The sixty-second vol
ume was completed with 81 issues and
the sixty-third volume began just two
days prior to March 4.
At the time of the founding of The
Republican by the late Captain James
A. Hayden, there was also being pub
lished in Oakland The Garrett County
Herald, with Hiram P Tasker, editor,
but it ceased publication a short time
thereafter, and The Republican is the
oldest newspaper in the county that is
active today.
1t is not only the oldest newspaper
in the county, but it is the earliest es-
tablished business enterprise in the
county that has gone on through the
years uninterrupedly. The paper has
had but two owners, the founder and
the present publisher, the latter tax
ing charge on July 4, 1890, and issued
his first paper upon his 21st birth
day anniversary, and will have round
ed out 40 years of continuous service
by July, 1889.

SPONSOR FUNDS NEEDED
FOR SAVAGE RIVER DAM
Congressman Byron Says Action
Necessary To Start Project

Congressman William D. Byron has
thrown the Savage River dam project
into the public's lap with the an
nouncement that the WPA will build
the dam if some sponsor will dig up q
million dollars to pay part of the
cost.
In his talk over radio station WTBO
Mr.. Byron said that local interests
could not get the dam built any
cheaper than by WPA labor, but that
they must act quickly to get WPA
help"
Allegany County Commissioners are
planning to ask the legislature FOR
permission to issue $1,O0O,O00 worth
of bonds for the project. The total cost
CT the dam would be between $780,
900 and 100000.
Mr.. Byron pointed out the tendency
in Congress to cut down on appropria-
ton of funds for public works and
stated that there would be no more
favorable time than the present to
apply for government aid.
He said that the WPA was the only
Federal agency which could help in
the construction of the dam, and was
contingent upon WPA being kept in
existence after June 80, 1889, on prac-
tically the same basis as at present
The dam proposed by army engi
neers would be nearly quarter of a
mile long and as tall as an eighteen
story building. 1t would stretch LILO
feet across the Savage River valley
which stream runs into the Po-
tomac River near Bloomington, Gar
rett county.
The structure would be of earth and
stone mixed, with concrete spillways.
A tunnel would be dug around the dam
to divert the water during construc-
ton and to provide steady flow of
water in the lower part of the river
when the lake back of the dam is not
high enough to flow over the top.
The engineers estimated the dam
would provide work for from 300 to
700 men for varying periods.
The survey was made with 100000
WPA allotment requested by the Up
per Potomac River Valley Commits
sion. The commission, appointed four
years ago, asked that borings be made
to determine the type of soil under the
proposed dam in order to estimate the
cost.

WASHINGTON, April 21.--It will help in understanding the present neutrality debate in Washington to narrow the field down to the main points of conflict.
 Congress is agreed, and probably the whole country, that the main purpose of any such legislation is to keep the country out of war Members of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee, now conducting a hearing. as well as their two ma- jor witnesses so far, Bernard Bar uch and Former Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson, all agree on that.
 They all agree also that no one plan so far advanced has all the right answers.
 Complete repeal of the legisla- tion, as tentatively favored by Senator Johnson, throws the coun- try back where we were in 1917. Johnson comedies that. As prac- tical matter as well. 1t is almost impossible to repeal the whole neutrality legislation. Too much support for some variety of such legislation has been built up in recent years.

Hungarian Is Village Fired On : Cannon Shot
 Returned RUSSIA DEMANDS FULL
 BRITISH-FREN(H AID Hitler Drafting Answer 10 RooseveIt's 1O-Year
 Peace Plan
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

A surprise order flareup on the frontier between Hungary and Slo- vakia was reported today as Europe's anxious powers continued choosing sides.
 Hungarian military authorities in Budapest said Slovak artillery bom- barded a Hungarian border village.
 Artillerymen and infantrymen on the Hungarian side, are reported to have returned the fire, but neith- CT side apparently crossed the new frontier.
 In London, an informed source said that Russia has demanded that Great Britain and France pledge Russia their full military support in return for her cooperation with the Anglo French front against the Rome Berlin axis.
 An obstacle to the Russian demand is that Rumania and Poland, now holding British and French guar antees of independence might ob- ject.
 Chancellor Hitler is reported to be drafting a speech he will make April 28 before the Reichstag in response to President Roosevelt's plea for at least ten years of peace.
