January 20, 1920—Pa^e 8 THE JEFFERSON1AN, TOWSON, MARYLAND.

Green, who has been confined to his home for some daysj suffering with neuritis, was. able to attend his business duties the latter part of this week. —Mr. J. William Phipps, remover of garbage at the county-seat, with three colored laborers, spread ashes over all the sidewalks of the town yesterday, Friday. Thanks to "Bill." —Mr. C. Lee Van Horn, who has been ill at his home on Alleghany avenue since Christmas, is now confined to his bed. suffering a complication of diseases. —Dr. Frank W. Keating, of The Rosewood Training School for Feeble Minded, addressed the Baltimore County Medical Society at a meeting on Wednesday last. —The School Board at a meeting this week decided to dispose of the old old school houses at Hyde and Wise-burg, both of which will be put up at public auction in the near future. —County Agent J. F. Hudson, who was injured some weeks ago and who was out one day last -week, was ordered back to bed by his physician, Dr. "Dan" Jenifer. —State Senator David G. Mcintosh. Jr., was unable to attend a part Of this weeks' legislative session at Annapolis, due to his being confined to his home with a severe cold. —We are glad to note the fact that the condition of Captain William Gra-son, who has been ill at his home on Ea»t Joppa road, is reported as being much improved. , ¦ . —Judging from the bags wrapped around the feet of our colored residents, when the sleet was on the ground, burlap will jump 100 per cent. in price. —Young Paris Ruby had a birthday party at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paris Ruby, on Alleghany avenue, on Wednesday evening last, to celebrate his 17th year along life's; journey. .—At a meeting of the Baltimore County School board held on Wednesday last at its offices in the Court House, it was decided to grant a 25 per cent increase in salaries to teachers of all grades of the public schools. • —Pleading guilty to the charge of larceny, Frank Butler, one of the six men who escaped from the Jail here last summer, was before Judge Duncan in the Circuit Court on Tuesday sentence was suspended because Butler has another charge of Jail-breaking against him. —Owing to the illness of an important witness, the case of Isaiah Fountain, removed to Towson from Talbott county and scheduled for trial this week, had to again be postponed indefinitely. —Mrs. George M. Price, who has been ill for over four months, is gradually regaining her strength, but her attending physician, Dr. J. Royston Green, states it will be some weeks before she can leave her room. —Many folks on Wednesday last were curious to know when the County Commissioners had the front of the Court House cleaned, but upon close Inspection they found that the "cleanliness," was a thin coat of ice, caused by the rain freezing. —The funeral of Miss Florence Brown, who until recently resided on Linden Terrace, South Towson, was held on Wednesday last, burial being in Prospect Hill Cemetery here. Miss Brown was a daughter of the late E. Fell and Mary E. Brown, of Towson. —Mrs. Dr. Vallie Hawkins, of near Fawn Grove, Pa., who was on her return from a week's visit -with friends in Washington.

Treadwell. of Towson. —Children coasting down the hill on the York Road from Pennsylvania avenue to the railroad here, took their lives in their own hands, considering the number of automobiles traveling the thoroughfare and the curve of the street car tracks at Chesapeake avenue. Why the "town guards" allowed such, is rather a mystery. -—When it comes to making "homemade" creepers, no one has anything on Mr. Bernard Sieberts, our local paper-hanger. The "patent" consists of a board cut oblong- about the size of a shoe, with heavy nails driven through, and then strapped around the wearer's feet. The flop, flop, flop of Mr. Sie-verts feet on the ice can be heard nearly to Seven Foot Knoll. —State's Attorney H. C. Jenifer is now driving the Dodge toring car which was stolen by thieves arond Thanksgiving and located by the police down in "Virginia. If the machine could talk it might relate some wierd tales of the "auto Jack" industry, but its new coat of paint would never allow anyone to think it had hit "the high jumps" when the crooks made off with it. —Miss Mildred Schuler was unfortunate enough to lose her gold watch in going from her home on W. Alleghany avenue to the Towson trolley car line one night this week, a distance of less than 4 blocks. The watch is highly prized by the young lady and she will appreciate it very much if the finder rrill leave it at The Tows/on National Bank, where a suitable reward will be given. —A Mr. Tracey, of Pasedena, Md., secured a license to wed in the Clerk's office here a week ago and after handing over his "cold cash" to "Billy" Parker, who attends to such functions, must have gone home and studied the cost of eats, dresses, millinery and the like, for one day this week he returned the license stating that he had decided not to use it, and now in the big marriage license book across the stub in red ink appears the words "not used." -—That some fair damsel in Baltimore county or elsewhere, has her eyes focussed on "Billy" Parker, and her heart throbbing for him, there can be no doubt, because "Bill" received a Leap Year card one day this week, with a very appropriate verse printed on it, and four shades of ribbon in a bow and lo! and behold a curl. The poetry accompanying it follows: If you of me sometimes] think, Send me back this bow of pink. If you are some .other girl's fellow, Send me back this bow of yellow. If you want me for your wife, Send me back this bow of white. If to me you will be true.t Send me back this bow of blue. If you want me for your girl, Send me back this little curl.

Gus Grasfon spoke on the cordinal principles of the order, laying stress upon the Bible and the Flag floating over the public school buildings in the land. Past Councilor James E.

It would not stand the strain of, heavy traffic. Mr. Zouck had the road bed covered with asphalt It has not required the expenditure of a dollar for maintenance. The improve-mentcalls for the building- of a concrete road. The advocates of the projects have formed the Philadelphia Road Improvement Association of Maryland. This association has put forth the following arguments in favor of the improvement: Would open up a rich and fertile shore and trucking section of Harford and Baltimore counties. Would vastly increase the taxable basis of both counties and the State of Maryland. Would shorten the .round trip to Baltimore from the Eastern Shore, Philadelphia. Wilmington. Havre de Garce, Aberdeen and the United States Proving Ground by 14 miles', or almost 30 minutes in time. Would do this with easy grades and practically no bad curves. The officers of the association are Richard Vincent, president: Marion G. Dinsmore. treasurer; Frank J. Hoen, secretary and attorney. Executive Committee—W. J. Wells, J. W. Stevens, Jr..
