Why not, he suggested to the
chamber of commerce, bring
Maxwell Street to their town?
Let's have merchants dressed up
"Jewish-style"- derbies, skull
caps, frock coats. Sell your bar

stands and pushcarts. No wrap
ping sales in paper bags; use old

with men dressed in crude burles-
que of ghetto Jews. Some mer-
chants wore artificial Jewish"
noses and boards. Others donned
derbies and filth-spattered frock
coats. They spoke with a mock
Jewish dialect, using wild, exag-
gerated gestures. They talked
about ''jewing" down their custo-
mers, laughingly called each other
"Kikes for the day." They scrawl-
ed little witticisms on their store
windows-s UGH as PRE-FIRE
SALE. FIRE WILL TAKE
PLACE SATURDAY. They threw
their garbage in the street. That,
too, they felt was the Maxwell
Street way.
'The cleverest business promo
tional venture ever staged in our
town." the local newspaper exult-
ed. Merchants sold stock that had
been stored in their Easements
for years. Everybody appeared
happy and busy and the police
were commended ''for efficient
handling of the traffic situation"
Some of the towns Jews may
have wept; some may have re-
manned in their homes in humi-
liation and despair. A few did
walk out to argue with the re-
yelling merchants. They were
laughed away. After all, they
were told, wasn't this affair doing
honor to "those pioneers of the
retail trade-the Maxwell Street
merchants"
There were some repercussions
later when ADJ representatives
met with members of the Jewish
community. Complaints were
made to city officials. The mayor
wrote a Jewish citizen that there
was no cause for concern. ''The
entire display seems to have been
a masquerade rather than a de-
liberate attempt to caricature or
defame the Jewish people !.
Certainly, no offense was meant
to your people I am sorry
you were offended"
This was hardly an appropriate
answer to such sterotyping. The
/ complaints persisted.
The chamber of commerce was
more upset by protests. It made
formal apology for the ''humi-
liation caused the Jewish people"
and gave assurance that there
would be no similar promotions
in the future.
Which may be frustrating to a
chamber of commerce secretary
who is wide-awake promoter.
He thinks Maxwell Street Day
has great possibilities for state
wide promotion. It's good for
business, he says.

New-SNIe Auto Tags
Going Over in Big
Way in Maryland
BY the Assoeieted Press

BALTIMORE. Feb. 27.-Mary-
lands new-style license plates
for 1884 have intrigued mo-
torists like nothing else since
the State first issued tags back
in 1910.
Only curiosity, say spokesmen
for the Department of Motor
Vehicles, can explain the rush
to buy the new orange-on- black
tags which went on sale Tues
day for the first time.
Car owners lined up in round
the-block queues on opening day
and on Wednesday to get their
tags direct from the windows.
Clerks were passing them out
at a 6,000-a-day clip. Business
was a little lighter yesterday,
but the DMV lobby was still
crowded.
One worker commented that
Its more like the closing day
rush than opening day."
All Numbers Low.
Some early buyers were mott
waited by the impressions that
they would get low numbers
by applying early, or that they
could get a special combination.
Both impressions were wrong.
All the numbers are low be-
cause the State is using letters
in combination with numbers
for the first time this year.
There are no numbers lower than
1901. none higher than 99-99.
And no numbers. or combina-
tions, are being set aside for
any one. The tags are being is
sued strictly on a first-come,
f1rst-served basis and strictly in
rotation. An issuing clerk who
holds out a special tag for a
friend has some explaining to
do to auditors who would be
bound to note it.
Letters Indicate Sections.
The letter combinations indi-
cate what section of the State
the car is registered in. Cars
issued to Baltimore owners will
get tags beginning with AA to
Al. BA to BJ. CA to CT.
The northern and central
counties of Baltimore, Carroll.
Howard, Hartford, Cecil, Fred
erick and Washington will get
tags beginning DA through FL.
Many from other sections who
apply direct to the department
Tor their tags will get that series.
also.
The letters GA through GG
are being issued to motorists in
Garrett and Allegany Counties:
HA through HH to Southern
Marylanders. and IA to JE to
the Eastern Shore. The special
sectional tags are issued only
through the county treasurers.
The new tags-there is only
one to a vehicle-may be used
any time after March l, and
must be on the car by midnight
Of March 81. when the present
tags expire.

Old and Drob Van Ness School
Argues for Replacement Funds

DuC III Cne halfway. Inere the
girls line up.
One somewhat oversize, con-
te-foored basement room used
for recreation, but a pile of con-
demned furniture now monopo-
Lies it. The pile has been there
for months.
Some Of these things can be
corrected, as they are being cor
rected gradually at other old Dis
trict schools. Modernized plumb
ing is to be installed within the
next year or 18 months. The
pile Of furniture will be moved,
because visiting Board of Educa-
ton members found it there yes

what they can to brighten ap-
pearanceS.
Associate Supt. John M. Riecks,
in charge Of buildings, says this
one isn't ready for abandonment
yet. Even if a new school is
built, it is expected to have more
years Of usefulness.
The annex is another story.
One day two years ago, Miss
Ruth E. Moses. Van Ness princi-
pal, suddenly found a classroom
floor behaving strangely. It was
at one end of the long, low,
weatherbeaten structure in which
she has her Office.

IT found the floor gave way

reported the danger, and we
found the floor of the building
was about to cave in. Workmen
worked all through week end
to reinforce the floor through
the entire building"
Annex classrooms all lead of
a single. long corridor. A boys
washroom about midway has
caused complaints. School Of
ficials are preparing to check
the plumbing and ventilation.
Miss Moses considers the holes
in the wallboard inevitable.
They occur frequently. and
patching can't keep up. There
were four large holes along the
corridor yesterday, as well as
some in several classrooms.
They happen when we aren't
looking" Miss Moses said.
When dancing or indoor
physical education activity is
scheduled. children must move
classroom furniture into the
corridor. The classrooms other
wise are too crowded. and a So
called practical arts room. sup
