upon them with an occasional eye
for Carolyn.
There were two occupants of
the low slung roadster, which

10000 WILL SEE
MUMMERS PARADE
Plans Going Forward for
Annual Event Here
Next Thursday

With good weather prevailing,
approximately 10000 persons are
expected to witness the 22nd An
nual Alsatia Mummers' Parade to
be staged here next Thursday eve
ming, when the mummers will vie
for cash prizes totaling $1,000
The parade, according to esti-
mates of parade officials, will be
the greatest in the history of the
city.
Returns from QUESTIONABLE
sent out some weeks ago indicate
that the largest division in the
parade will be the Organized bodies
more industries, fraternal and
patriotic organizations signifying
their intentions to join in the pro-
cession this year than ever before.
At least 25 bands and drum corps
will also be in line, according to
Kieffer Bower, president of the Al
satia Club.
WOrkmen several days ago start
ed on the big job of decorat ting the
main thoroughfares with colored
lights; when this job is completed
work will begin on the decorations
in the public square which this
year will be more elaborate than
in 1910. 1t has been announced
that the route of parade this year
will be the same as in former
years and that members of the Al
satia Club will marshal the process
sion.
In order to accommodate the tra-
mendous crowd additional resery-
ed seats will be erected in the pub
lie Square. Tickets are now on
sale at the Hagerstown News

Washington, d. c., October "a
Charles Geisbert, Frederick Coun-
ty Commissioner, and president of
the County Roads Board, is very
much on a hot spot and doesn't like
it. In fact, he is seriously thinking
of resigning from the roads board;
all for the reason that upon him
rests the responsibility of dispens
ing public money based solely on
unitemized invoices. So with the
echoes of the Wicomico county
misfeasance scandal still reverber-
ating around the State, Charley
either wants a change in the sys-
tenn of handling roads accounts or
change in the presidency.
While not one iota of suspicion
rears its head either with respect
to Charley or the boards financial
affairs, Geisbert is leaning over
backwards to see that none does.
AS the matter now stands, all in
voices pertaining to the boards
business come to its president for
his signature and since most Of
, these are for unitemized lump
sums, it makes Charley squirm
when he is obliged to affix his sig
nature to checks. With no staff
to check matters for him, he is un-
able to ascertain the correctness
of the amounts specified.
Right now Charley is squirming
because he has been put in the po-
sition of paying out an expense-ac.

NOW, ABOUT THOSE MISTAKES!

Local stationery stores have re-
ceived notice from several large
pencil manufacturers that pencils,
with metal tip-bands and erasers,
may soon be placed on "the hard
to get list" The manufacturers
also suggest that merchants begin
educating" their customers in the
use of the plain, old-time pencil
without the erasers-so that when
and if the time should come that
rubber-tip pencils are not available,
the change will be taken without
great annoyance. All of which
should serve as a warning to those
who think mistakes can always be
eliminated by little bit of rubber!

entrance to the new city hall at
Williamsport.
The U. S. Naval Academy is
about to force the city Of AnnapO-
lis to build a new series fo roads
costing S571,O52.
This is caused by the long-dis-
cussed plan for isolating the Acad-
emy from the. flow of ferry and
tourist traffic, which is about to
be a reality. AS a result, the state
roads commission will have to
close the present ferry slip and
move it to Sandy Point.
The Naval Academy has served
notice that the ferry slip must be
promptly closed and has condemn
ed property just across the street
from the Middies' wailing wall.
This double-barrelled order will
mean the building of a complete
new highway from the Severn
river bridge to Parole, and the
closing of the present road leading
from the bridge into Annapolis on
the north. This project will cost
$4,000. Because of the ferry slip
closing, a connecting link with
King George street will have to be
built and it's cost will be $31,052.

become a servant of the pee-poI
continues to bloom in the breasts
of many. The latest to be added
to the list of "probabIes" is Paul
D. kretzer, prominent and active
member of the Washington Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, and resident
of Wilson District. lnformants
tell me that kretzer is being
urged, successfully, to become a
candidate for the Board of Coun-

cratic ticket.
Joseph Cantrell, Montgomery

the late Congressman William

primary, may try it again, I'm
told, but the thought has occur
red to me that all these candi-
dates from Montgomery County
Just doesn't add up. At the rate
these rumors are spreading, it
wouldn't be surprising if some
one didn't add the name of Har-
old ickes, now resident of that
county, to the list. To make the
whole thing more unanimous,
would suggest that each of the
five counties in the Sixth Dis

It's a good idea but the Chief is
expecting any day to have some
wise guy to direct him to the

A resident of the North End
tells me that, in his opinion, the
Police Departments technique
in knocking off burglars, is bad.
This particular residents "beef"
is that after the police receive

the scene of the crime with
sirens screaming, which is an
ideal method of warning the burg

"scram". Going to the scene
without benefit of police siren

comment is not, of course, a
criticism - just an observation

FALLS CHURCH. Va. Nov. s.
The Hillwood citizens tonight con-
ceded defeat in their efforts TO block
q $670, 900 defense housing project
in Falls Church, but learned that
it appeared probable Senator Glass.
Democrat, of Virginia would wage a
fight on the defense housing setup
when the next appropriation Is
asked"
Although the Hillwood Housing
Committee was backed in its f1ght
by Senator Glass. the Virginia De-
fense Council and the Fairfax
County Planning Commission. the
protest meeting of citizens was told
the contract had been let for the
l63-unit project.
Committee Chairman Edward C.
Knouse said he felt the citizens had
been rather arbitrarily dealt with"
and that the committee was mis-
led by the housing unit Of the
Federal Works Agency.
After hearing the opinion Of the
chairman that the first round had
been lost" the meeting voted to ask
Federal aid to help meet the added
burdens on school. water and sani-
tary facilities caused by the addi-
ton of 1853 families to the town.
Mr. KnouSe quoted letters from
the Virginia Defense Council and
the Fairfax Commission opposing
the project as violating existing
codes. He then quoted a letter
from the Federal Works Agency
which said that the Fairfax Plan
ming Commission had not raised
any objections which could not be
readily met
Senator Glass. in protesting to
F. w. A. Administrator John M.
Carmody, urged reconsideration Of
the project and the finding Of an
alternate site that does not defy
local zoning ordinances"

insists on violation Of State and

subject. I shall most certainly see
that the matter is thoroughly gone
into and the responsibility fixed
when the next appropriation Is
asked.
1T has been difficult to protect
the approaches to the Capital from
all sorts of haphazard, cheap and
inflammable construction. even If
the agency thinks it has the power
to tear down everything accom-
plished"
The meeting also was told that
the owner Of the property. w. r.
Kelley, did not want to sell to the
Government and has filed demur-
rer against its condemnation Of the
property.
