Maryland Assembly
To Get Bill 10 Increase
Home Rule ofCounties
By J. B. Zotmon
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 7.-LeglSla-
ton which would give Maryland
counties wide home-rule powers
is expected to be introduced to-
night in the General Assembly.
The bill, sponsored by Senator
Edward D. Storm, Democrat, of
Frederick County, would confer
on county officials almost as
much power to run their own
affairs as that granted Mont
gomery County's new Council un-
der it's new charter.
It is similar to a measure sub
mitted in the Senate nearly two
weeks ago by Senator Storm to
give incorporated towns and cities
more home rule.
His latest measure faces an un.
certain future because many
county officials want to pass tht
buck" to the Legislature on i'm
portant legislation desired by the
people, according to a prominent
Democratic leader here who asked
that his name be withheld.
Senator Storm declared, how
ever, that county heads should
have the courage of their con-
victions" and stop shifting their
responsibilities to the Legislature. y
He said his bill would eliminate
almost all of the local bills which
occupy most of the legislators
time and leave them free to con-
centrate on State wide measures
One of the principal provisions
in the bill would permit counties
to issue bonds up to per cent of
their total asSessable base. But
the bonds issued in any one year
could not exceed one-quarter of i
per cent of the assessable base
without a referendum.
In addition, county heads could
pass all laws not contrary to
State and local laws and the
State constitution, or those deal
ing with the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission.
These two agencies affect both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. A move is under way
by the Montgomery delegation to
transfer many powers now held
by the two commissions to the
County Council.

Photographer Drops
Complaint Over Film
Ruined by Policeman

The complaint of q New York
photographer that a policeman
seized his camera and destroyed
a roll of films was called a closed
chapter today after a conference
of the principals involved.
Capt. Clyde N. Strange of the
second precinct said both the
photographer. Joe Covello, 81, and
the policeman, Pvt. L. R. Screen,
colored, admitted during the hear
ing they might have been "a little
hot" at the time and now wished
to forget the incident.
Employed by the Black Star
Publishing Co. in New York. Mr..
Covello was at Seventh and P
streets NV. about pm. yester-
day taking candid street scenes for
an article on Negro life in Wash
ington to appear in Ebony Mag
azine.
Camera Wrested From Him.
Nearby, Pvt. Screen was talking
to j. D. Williams, a colored plain
clothes policeman, who was seated
in an automobile. Another police
man. Pvt. O. w. Davis. colored
was questioning two persons vio-
lating the law by riding double
on a bicycle.
Mr.. Covello said he was about
to take a picture of this activity
when Pvt. Screen wrested the
camera from him and said: I'm
going to take out that film. I ought
to smash this camera against a
telephone pole"
The photographer said he man
aged to retrieve the camera after
a little tussle" and offered to give
the policeman the films if he
would not destroy the camera
Since Pvt. Screen apparently did
not know how to release the films,
Mr.. Covello did this for him.
Films Exposed to Light.
The policeman then looked at
the films, exposing them to the
light, and dropped them on the
street, Mr.. Covello said. All this
happened before he had an oppor-
tunity to explain why he was TAX
ing pictures, the photographer
added.
Capt. Strange said the police
man felt justified in seizing the
films because of regulation
against commercial photographers
taking street pictures without a
license.
Mr.. Covello said the films repre-
sented the work of day and a
half and that the destroyed roll
meant he would have to retake
IL pictures, many of them requir-
ing tine-killing Appointments.

D. {. Committee
Drops Proposal
For 'Gag',Ru|e
House Group Meets
For First Time, Adopts
Code for Procedure

The House District Committee
today eliminated a proposed gag"
rule which would have forbidden
subcommittee members from pub
licizing decisions or recommended
tions of the group without ap-
proval of the chairman.
Meeting for the first time, the
reorganized mmittee also
knocked out three other para
graphs from a total of 20 rules
adopted as committee procedure.
The stricken rules would have:
l. Established three day lapse
before the full committee would
act on any proposal from sub
committee.
2. Permitted only the chairman
to announce the vote on any mat
ter in executive session.
3. Allowed no bill to be reported
to the House unless a majority of
the committee actually was pres
ent at the committee session.
Mcmillan Reassured COP.
IN the discussion of the gag"
proposal, Chairman Mcmillan as
sured several inquiring Republic
can members that the rule would.
not be used as a gag" on men,
bers. The rule was eliminated,
however, because of the chance it
might be interpreted.
1,,1x +I,o
man to announce executive ses-
sion vote would have permitted
an individual to disclose his own
vote. right he still holds.
AS to the rule requiring a COM
mlttee majority to be present be-
fore a bill is reported out. it was
explained that the provision is in
cluded N the rules of the House
itself, but that there are times
when speed is necessary on non
controversial measures and that
action may be expedited if no
point cf order is made in the
House.
Wadsworth Attends Session.
The committee rules provide
that its regular meeting date will
be the first Monday of each

publican, of New York. who has
served more than quarter of
century in the Senate and House,

the 10th Republican place on the
District committee. Chairman Nc

said he was delighted to have
him on the committee because his
service would strengthen the

No Fixed Rules
There are no rules for allowances.

Individual child must be considered,
his needs for personal pocket money
and his opportunity for spending.
The allowance must also be con-

individual family, the amount of
regular expenditures made on the
child that he will u out of
his allowance, etc.
I also find that the amount given
to an older child and his attitude
toward spending and saving has a
great deal to do with the amount
expected by and the use made of
the allowance given to younger chill

A CHILD'S ATTITUDE toward
money is largely influenced by that
of his associates as well as through
the experience of spending and a
ing small amounts.
A true appreciation of the value
of money and its place in our pres
ent day society should be gained
from the child's own parents. A
good way to teach children to ham
die money is to give them money
of their own to spend as they choose.
This is most successfully accom-
plished by giving the child an al
loWance.
An allowance is ga grant or gift,
a certain portion allowed" Thus, if
we give our child an allowance, we

APPLE PIE, without doubt, is
first among pies. Now, would you
ever guess it was the eminent cler-
gyman, Henry Ward Beecher, who
wrote this pithy tribute to this ia
vorite dessert? Concerned with the
souls of men he seemed to n
that pies, like men, can be made
better. Said the preacher on the SUBJ
ject of apple pies:
Nothing is so fatal to the rare
and higher graces of apple pie as in
considerable, vulgar splicing. 1t is not
meant to be a mere vehicle for the
exhibition of these spices in their
own natures. 1t is a glorious unity
in which sugar gives up its nature
as sugar, and butter ase to be but
ter, and each flavorsome spice glad
ly vanishes from its full nature, that
all of them, by a common death,
may rise into the new life of an ap-
pie pie. Not that apple pie is no
longer apple. 1t, too, is transformed.
And the final pie, though born of
apple, sugar, butter, nutmeg, CHINA
mon, lemon, is like none of these,
but the compound ideal of them all,
refined, purified, and by fire, fixed
in a blissful perfection"
An editors mail is always inter
esting because one never knows just
what it will bring. 1t may be some
readers choice recipe she wants to
share with others; or maybe she
read a recipe months ago and in
tended, as we all do, to save it, but
it was lost and she asks would we
please send it to her; another has
written a poem, maybe not perfect,
but it is a sparkling little jingle she
thought of as she made wild plum
jelly, eff it does not fit the needs
says she, "there will be no i'll feel
ing. I had fun thinking it up"
Or maybe it is a family problem
that is bothering; O a new house is
in the near future and plans are
wanted; or it may be a well though

weeks in order to buy one. AS her
capacity for saving and spending in
creased, so did her allowance, and
also as she grew older she found
ways of earning additional sums.
Irene, at seven, receives Is cents
a week and expects to make certain
purchases such as tablets and pen
ellis, etc., for school out of this
modest sum. Much of her attitude
toward money and its value comes
from that of her older sister.
Tangible Goals
We have never expected the chill
dren to save for some remote goal
in which they have M immediate
interest or understanding, such as
a college education. A young child
cannot be expected to show much
enthusiasm for a locked bank where
his pennies are slowed away for
some distant future.
We urge them to save for coveted
toys such as wagons, skates, or a
bicycle-something close to their
desires and hope of attainment in
the near future. We often
them to save these larger sums by
a bonus plan. eff you save half,
we will give the other half."O
When they are tempted to break
into their savings for another pur-
chase, we talk it over with them.
Maybe the second plan is the better
one. Maybe ice skates in the winter
are more desirable than a bicycle
in the spring.
However, if we have agreed to
pay half the cost of the bicycle,
we make it clear that we are in no
way obligated to pay for any part
of the ice skates. If we feel the
child has really tried to save and
the bicycle should be purchased in
the spring, we try to find ways they
can earn the money, and go back
to our original plan to pay half the
cost.
Learn by Mistakes
A purchase that seems foolish to
n person may bring a great deal
OF pleasure and happiness to an
other. Have you ever bought any,
thing that seemed foolish to your
sister-in-law? (Who hasn't?) Allow
your child to make and learn by his

is the child's to spend, let him spend

If you failed to read our pre-
vious piece on "Home of the
Brave, it deals with a colored
sergeant operating in an island
atoll (Jap controlled) in the Pa
cific. He is assigned with white
soldiers to carry out a dangerous
map planning mission. The
youths presence on the mission is
resented by one of the party
which arouses the Negroes resent
ment against all the others, in
Guiding a former school friend
who tries to protect him from in
sulting remarks shot his way.
When his comrade is killed on the
mission, the colored boy becomes
paralyzed from the hips down. He
is carried back to the hospital
by the remaining members Of the
party. There an Army doctor, re-
alizing his condition may nave
been caused by a psychosis, tries
to fathom the youths troubled
mind. The introduction of a rare
drug added to the doctors interest
and kindness prevail in bringing
the boy from out of his subcon-
scious mind and reveals the fear
that has kept him from walking.
1t is a pulsating, heart warming
