GROWING
PAINS
By MARIE o'DEA
THAT LIQUOR FEUD AGAIN


Ever since Noe slipped off the
water wagon, some of our neighbors
have FASTENED to join him while 9TH
ers have done their best to curb this
appetite. Maryland has had her share
of both, the slippers and the CURRIERS'
| According to the bills pouring into
our legislative hopper, the slippers
and the CURRIERS' are warming up
again. And so it has been from the
very beginning of the PROVINCES his
tory.
In 1868 the General Assembly did
real job on this problem. Their Act
read that the penalty for drunken
ness, "by two sufficient Witnesses
shall, for the first offence, for the
convicted, was to be sett in the stocks
Six houres, or pay one hundred
pounds of tobacco" and for the sec.
ond offence, ''to be publickly whipt OF

co :" and being the third TYNE
convicted, as aforesaid, the Offender
shall be adiudged Person infamous
and thereby made incapable of giving
vote, or bearning Office within this
Province during the Space of three
yeares."
That should have had considerable
effect but before long the Assembly
men themselves were doing the slip
ping. On April 27, 1861, the Lower
House charged Thomas Hills will
drunkenness and swearing divers
oaths last night" The Upper House
fined him 100 pounds of tobacco anC
demanded THAT Thomas Hills shall

faults for sweareing with expressing
his hearty Sorrow for the same" Mr.
Hills apology so touched the Lowe
House that it RENTED his fine.
Three years later, in 1864, an ex

Of the Assemblymen were drinking
of some burnt brandy" During thi
little party, Mr.. William Breton
clerk of the Lower House, said in tn
presence of Marmaduke Snowe ant
Thomas Gerard, that the Secretar,
and Chancellor "did sett up until tw
of the clock in the morning" and or
dered him to change the wording o
an important record. 1t was an ex

quested to prove it he admitted tina

AnnIause and Support


Washington, Jan. 9.
AT her press conference and in her
column Mrs. Roosevelt has voiced her
displeasure over the failure of the Re-
publicans in Congress to applaud her
husband when he appeared before
that body to deliver his message on
the state of the Union. She was, she
said, Shocked" She rebuked the Re-
publicans for not applauding and con-
veyed the idea that those who did not
applaud were alphabetically partisan.
There are number of things to be
said about this. One is that Mrs.
velt-unconsciously of course
was herself most unfairly partisan in
giving the impression that only Re-
publicans did not applaud. The facts
are that there were considerable
number of Democrats who did not
applaud; that there was at least one

In the last war President Wilson
named Mr.. Baruch boss, and no one
regarded him as Capital" though he
had made a great fortune in Wall
Street. Mr.. Wilson did not put labor
leader on as co-boss to balance Ba-
ruch. He named Mr.. Samuel Gompers,
bigger labor leader than Mr.. Hill
man ever will be, as member of the
Advisory Board, and Mr.. Gompers got
behind Mr.. Baruch one hundred per
cent. How are you going to cheer a
President who, while calling for unity,
insists upon dividing the country into
classes !? You can support him because
defense is so urgent and his foreign
policy so right, but it is too much to
expect applause for the way in which
he implements it.

OVER WIFES HEAD
Any members who run out"
on their wives can count on
other members for sympathy and
companionship and help In find

There isn't clubhouse yet,
but that's in the plans for the
future, and wnen they have that,

two things to do.
Don't ever again threaten 60

The lake has been hallowed
ground TO Icelanders since the 10th
century. There the early chiefs met

times bloody duels. Nearby is the

There also, in the year 1000, Ice

From the early chiefs who met

nearly all Icelanders trace their
direct descent.
