men and women being given the
opportunity of voting" said Repre-
sentative Beall, but there were
legitimate and worthy reasons why
some of the provisions of the Green
Lucas bill were questioned by many
of the members of the House and
Senate. Just because it was known
as the Soldiers Vote Bill, the pro
posed legislation was accepted as
such by the public without any idea
of its provisions.
"Now that we have passed a bill
giving soldiers a means of casting
their ballots, it is demonstrated that
the Congress was not opposed to
service men voting, but to some of
the specific features of one of the
bills introduced"
Pursuing the suggestion that the
voters learn more about proposed
bills than mere catch titles, Repre-

Red Cross Drive
Opens Next Week

Next week, on March /, to be ex-
act, band of volunteer workers,
under the direction of Mr.. S. S.
Bradford, campaign chairman, will
start out on the annual Red Cross
Drive for funds with which to carry
on what is, without question, the
greatest humanitarian organization
IN the world and the goal for Ha-
gerstown and Washington County is
SCI, 500.
We know that it isn't question of
whether that relatively SIN al l
amount will be raised, for Washing
ton County has never fallen down
on any challenge for so worthy a
cause and of course its going over
the top in this drive too. The whole
question is: How quickly can the
job be done?
In times of peace we think of
floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and
things like that when we think of
the Red Cross, but in time of war,
whenever the Red Cross is men
toned, we cannot help but think of
our boys in enemy prison camps and
what a tremendous difference the
Red Cross has meant to them.
There's war going on folks, and
on every battlefront, in every hospi-
tai in every camp, there's a man or
woman from the Red Cross doing
his or her bit to make life just a
little easier for our boys and girls
in the uniform of Uncle Sam.
Sure you're going to give to the
= Red Cross this year, but we would
like to make this suggestion: There's
twice as much need for the Red
Cross this year, so why not give
twice as much as you did last year?
How about it, folks? We're count
ing on you and we know you won't
let us down.

sentative Beall pointed. out that
some one might propose win the
War" bill, insofar as a mere title is
concerned. "But in that BILL" said
the Western Maryland Congress
man, might be all kinds of objec-
tionable features. 1t is the duty Of
members of Congress to look into
the background, the central idea
of bill, and to be careful that a
good, purpose be not nullifed by
some hidden proposals masquerade
ing under titles like Votes for Sol
diers', Win the War or even Gov
ernmental Efficiency.
II feel strongly, as an ex-service
man, that our fighting men and wo-
men should be given some way of
recording their preferences in the
1914 elections" said Beall, land the
manner in which it is to be done

of the nations representatives in
Washington"

pressed his colleagues, Democrats

Dorothy Dix Says

when she was her age. But she has
learned her lesson. 1t Is to keep
her mouth shut. And Mother has
missed her bus. Never again will
she have Susie for gossipy fellow
traveller.
Then the mother who desires to
be chummy with her hobbledehoy
daughter, who is neither woman
nor child, must get her point of
view on things and adapt herself to
them. She can't get Susie to &C
cept her ideas any more than she
can squeeze her into the 18-inch
corset she used to wear. The code
of conduct for the modern girl is
roomier and sloppier, like her
clothes, than 1t was in Mothers
day.
Then Mother must handle her
half-grown daughter with as much
diplomacy as she would in nego-
tiating world peace. She must
never laugh at her, because youth
has no sense of humor. She must
cut DON'T out of her vocabulary
and make suggestions instead OF
giving orders, and she must affect
to believe that Susie is as sophisti-
Gated as she thinks she is.
Above all, she must respect
Susies individuality and her right
to lot Of liberty and privacy. The
mother who listens In on her teen
age girls telephone conversations
and opens her letters not only shuts
herself out Of Susie's confidence, but
out of her heart For when Susie
conf1des in Mother, 1t is as friend
to friend, never to a cross exam
iner.

step or two on the other side Of
the hall are new additions to the
old structure. Fine proportions in
the dining room make a spacious
setting for beautiful furniture and
the sun-flooded library, facing
south, gives the impression of being
in the garden.
Upstairs the bedrooms ramble,
with a step up or down, at various
angles from the hall. One is
reached through an arched door on
the stair landing With a high
ceiling. it originally had a small
musicians gallery and was prob
ably used for dining. Others look
out over the garden, and are so
quiet and secluded that the bustling
city seems miles away.
There is a certain joy In sitting
down and looking around this lovely
house. The room proportions are
pleasantly restful. Structural breaks
give interest to wall surfaces,
caused by the angle of stair we'll,
various floor elevations and differ
ent window and door heights.
With all of it's antiquity, and
abundance Of rare pieces of exquis-
ite furniture, there is a modern
attention to comfort and good ar
arrangement that will be inspiring to
every visitor. This house avoids
the museum appearance, and uses
each of its treasures to make a
charming background for present
day living.
This is only one of the Is houses
which will be open to the public on
Friday and Saturday, April 14th
and 18th. Tickets will be available
at each house for all others open
on that day.
