the Potomac Edison Electric COM
pany, said yesterday he believed his

to purchase the lines and franchises
of the Associated Maryland in this
county was taken under advisement
by the Public Service commission.

proXimately 600 consumers would be
affected by the purchase and that
the transfer would be effected within
a few days if the commission APP
proved the application.

Religious Picture
To Be Shown Here
Next Sunday Night
King of Kings" to Be Presented
In Lutheran Church, June 22nd

The religious motion picture, king
of Kings, will be presented in the
Lutheran church here next Sunday
evening, June %, beginning at 7;45
o'clock.
The king of Kings" is an elaborate
and reverent attempt by Cecil B. De-
Mile to use the motion picture as a
means of telling the greatest story in
the world.
The picture, which cost six million
dollars to produce, was made after six
years of faithful Bible study and
made accurate through the construc-
tive criticism of hundreds of orthodox
gospel ministers. There are 176 peo-
pie in the entire cast including those
depicting the characters of Jesus,
Mary, Peter, Judas, James, Matthew,
Mary Magdalene and Caiaphas the
high priest.
The character of Judas, the betray-
er, is developed with skill. The mir
acles performed by Jesus, the gentle
care for children and for the lowly
are shown in many cases.
There will be a free will silver
offering.

Are Being Placed
In County Streams
1900 Fish Being Distributed by
Game Wardens During June

Game wardens are busy stocking
the major trout streams of this coun-
ty with 5000 legal-size fish, accord
ing to Fulcher P. Smith, member of
the Maryland State Game and Inland
Fish Commission.
The trout, representing the June
allotment under the commissions
periodic stocking policy, are from
seven to fourteen inches in length.
The game commissioner pointed out
that the stocking comes at a time
when the streams, previously low as
a result of the drought, are high
again after recent heavy rains, and
fishing should be good during the
next several weeks. The trout season
remains open until July Is.
Cherry creek, reserved exclusively
for fly fishing, is among the streams
being stocked and will be stocked
every week until July, Mr.. Smith said
Other streams receiving part of the
allotment include Bear Greek, Savage
river, Salt Block, Piney run, Lost
Land run and Laurel run.
Smith also revealed that during the
past year 81 900 small trout have
been reared in the rearing pond at
Bear creek, which will mean 10000 to
$4,000 average size trout available
for stocking next year in addition to
an estimated $4,000 "hold-overs".

Bids for Machinery
Are Opened But No
Contract Awarded
Exact Date When Roads Will Be
Transferred Is Uncertain One

Bids for purchase or rental of
equipment for maintaining the roads
of Garrett county, which were adj
vertised in local papers, were opened
and read at the regular meeting of
the County Commissioners on Mon
day, but no contracts were awarded
as it is uncertain just when the coun-
ty will take over the operation of the
work from the State Roads Com
mission.
A conference of State Road of
ficials and County Commissioners on
Tuesday did not bring forth anything
definite as to the date when such
transfer would occur. The States fis-
cal year does not end until October l,
but the law recently enacted by the
legislature made it possible to trans
fer the roads after June /. Since all
appropriations for road work have
been allocated and worked out up to
October l, it appears probable that
the State will maintain the county
roads until that time and will con-
tinue with their plans for oiling and
screening and other maintenance
work.
The bids which were read were for
the purchase or rental of road grad
ers, dump trucks, stone crushing
plant, power shovel, stone loading
conveyor, etc. Bids were received
from twelve or more concerns and in
dividuals.

21-Year-Olds Must
Register on July ]
Draft Board Issues Reminder of
Call by President Roosevelt

A reminder to all males who have
become twenty-one years of age since
last October 16 or will reach that age
on or before July l to be prepared to
come to Oakland on that day to
register for possible military training,
was issued this week by the local
draft board.
The registration in this county will
be conducted at the office of the local
board, Second street, and all who
come under the age specified are re-
quired to register in person. There
will be no other places in the county
where one may register, it was
pointed out.
About million young men will
come under this compulsory registra-
ton order throughout the country and
it is estimated that about 100 will
register from this county. H. L.
Jones, draft board clerk, stated July
would also be an opportunity for
any others to register who failed to
do so last October. There are heavy
penalties for anyone failing to reg
lister.
July 1 was the date chosen by
President Roosevelt in order that
men registering would have time to
find out before fall whether or not
they might expect to be called for
duty. This would permit them to plan
ahead for their fall and winter work
or educational schedules.

Transit Co. Litigation Ends
Over Paving Of Tracks

Litigation over division of cost of
paving abandoned streetcar tracks
in the District was settled yesterday
by agreement of opposing counsel.
Provisions of the Appropriation Act
OF July / were brought into the case
as evidence.
According to Richmond 3. Keech.
corporation counsel, 1t was agreed
that the Capital Transit Co. should
pay half Of the s350,00O involved in
paving after tracks were taken I'D In
conformity with merger legislation
of 1888 and Public Utility Commits
sion orders calling for certain elimi-
nations of service and reroutings.
The District Government contend
ed in 13 suits filed in District Court
that the transit company should pay
all the cost, but Congress held, by
enactment, that abandonment of the
track under the merger act was the
same as If the track were in actual
operation and that, in either case,
Che cost of repaving the areas in
volved should be equally divided be-
tween the company and the mu-
nicipahty.

Oldest Inhabitants
Recall School Days
Of 18Th Century
Hork Back to Era Of
Willow Switches and
Rosined Palms

The days Of old, when teachers
welded willow switches and boys
chewed tobacco In class instead of
smoking on street corners, were re-
called last night by members OF
the Association of Oldest Inhabi-
tants, in an evening dedicated to
"reminiscences of school days In the
later part Of the 18th century.
None of the speakers failed to
mention with reverence the teach
ers who started them on their
careers.
Charles Bates, IA, vice president
and chairman of the entertainment
committee. a member of the class
of '86 Of the old Washington High
School, told the association his class
was the only District high school
group to receive its diplomas from
United States President-Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Bates said his class
had held annual reunions for SIS
consecutive years, with so of the
$50 graduates now living. He re-
called the night in June, 1886, when
President Cleveland presented $50
diplomas to his fellow classmates in
the now non-existent Polls Theater,
to the music of the Marine Band
of that day.
Once Looked Down On.
The era when public schools, now
mainstay in American education.
were regarded as poor schools" was
recalled to the association mem
bers by Jesse c. Suter, who said
his parents - early in the 18th
century-were sent to such schools
as Columbia Academy and Miss
English's School because private ed
ucatlon, in those days, was deemed
the ultimate.
Mr.. Suter mentioned committees
OF schoolboys being required to
search for switches when the school
master or mistress had exhausted
the supply. Association members
were unanimous in the memory that
switches" were the prevalent form
OF discipline in the days when they
were grammar school pupils.
Sites of schools were recalled by
the 30 members who attended last
nights meeting. Some had gone to
classes in the building where the
meeting was held, the Old Union
Engine House at Nineteenth and H
streets NV.
The "mlschievous boys of yester-
day" recalled the days when thev
smeared their hands with rosin to
reduce the pain from the expert
appliance of switch treatments"
by the educators of the last CEN
tury.
Recalls Stone Battles.
Mr.. Bates, who has made a hobby
OF his reverence for his old teachers. |
said his first nickle was earned at
the age of 6 by polishing the shoes
of his first teacher. He also told of
being cured of engaging in stone
battles at an early age, mostly be-
cause of the blows he took in a
losing combat with group of other
boys who also knew how to hurl
stones.
Other members of the gro,lp
taking part in the reminiscing were
John Clagett Proctor, Washington
historian, and senior vice president
OF the association, who conducts the
meetings in the absence of Theodore
w. Noyes, president: James f.
Duhamel, vice president and cor
responding secretary: John F.,
Woodwork and others.
New members admitted to the as
soclation are Thomas E. Lucas, John
r. Hill and william w. Hill.
