December 18, 1920—Page 4. THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. TOWSON AT A GLANCE —Just seven more-days, then Christmas. —Don't forg-et the candles in your windows Christmas Eve. —Mr. tend Mrs. Bruce Campbell left on Wednesday for a visit to friends in Virginia. —Mrs. Mary J. Lee is the guest of friends in Florida, where she will remain some time. —Miss Mamie Brown and Miss A. Hines have been visiting- friends in Harford county. —Mrs. P. A.

Heffelfinger, of Aig-burth Park, South Towson, is a patient at a city hospital, where she underwent an operation recently. —The condition of Mrs. Alfred Rit-ter, who was operated on, and who returned to her home here recently, is reported as being much improved. —Mr. Logie Bonnett, editor of The Jeffersonian. will give a "chalk talk" at the Christmas entertainment at Pine Grove School on Wednesday evening next. —To fill the vacancy made by the death of the late Martin J. O'Hara, Dr. Stuart Cassard was elected a director of the Towson National Bank at a recent meeting. —Plans are being made now to have a huge community Christmas tree decorated with various colored electric ligha( erected on the Engine House plaza next season. —Assistant Postmaster Nicoll had the misfortune to slip on Monday, painfully straining some ligaments in one of his legs, which necessitated his absence from duty this week. —Those members of the Towson Post American Legion, who "staged" the minstrel show at the State Normal School here last week, deserve to be congratulated upon the "get-up" of the performance. —The usual Christmas rush was in evidence a the post office here the latter part of this week, and to facilitate the delivery of Xmas gifts and greeting cards that are entrusted to Uncle : Sam forx delivery. -—Mr. P. V. Burwell, who has been j connected with the Advertising Department of The Black Decker Mfg. j Co. for more than a year, has been | made assistant advertising manager, a promotion well deserved. , —Willis Cook, charged with aiding I in the escape of William Smothers from the Towson Jail here on August 113th last, has'been indicted by the Bal-|timore couny grand jury. It is alleged Cook smuggled two steel saws to I Smothers, while he was a "boarder" at I the institution. Ye Gods. Can one really believe his own eyes? What do you think? Work was actually started this week on the (erection of a new railroad station at j Towson to take the place of the old I "hen house" that has weathered the atmosphere bravely along the track of i he Maryland & Pennsylvania for years. —"The Hex," the monthly newspaper published by the Black & Decker Mfg. Co. here which is always a newsy I little sheet of eight pages, made its appearance this week "dressed up" in Christmas attire. On the front page is a Very appropriate design in two col- |ors, with a Yuletide greeting by Mr. jChas. W, Spicer. j —The stork visited the home of Mr. i "Jimmy" Henderson, a member of the I Advertising Department of the Black & Decker Mfg. Co, recently, and left an advance Christmas present. When the package was opened by Mr. and Mrs. Henderson it was found to containing a bouncing baby girl, who will heceforth and forever be known as Margaret Carolyn Henderson. —Justice Wm. P. Butler committed Joseph Bender, of Baltimore City, to the Towson Jail Tuesday on the charge of the larceny of 108 cases of whiskey, valued at $6,000 from a concern in Newark, N. J. The county police have been on the "look-out" for Bender for some time, and Monday night State's Attorney Jenifer learned that he was in Baltimore and notified Police Commissioner Gaither, who sent out word to the various city police stations, with the result that the man was apprehended and turned over to the county authorities. sary when some genius undertakes to spend half a lifetime crossbreeding sheep to color their fleece, and' this genius would have less difficulty than with cotton, as he would have ready at hand the world over supply of "black sheep." Then it would only be necessary to teach the silk worms to tufn out colored silk after feeding on the flower bed and the flax plant to produce green fibers from green sand, blue from blue marl, red from red clay, and black from loam, ad infinitum. Wonderful prospects, IF— ; DYES TO EE SUPERFLUOUS? | Short Cut to Gorgeous Colorings Being Worked Out by a Wizard, It is Said. A. W. Brabham of Olar. S. G, soon to be known as the Wizard of the Cotton Patch, Bjurbank's only rival, announces that the American dye industry is unnecessary, or at least soon will be, according to Drug and Chemical Markets. For has he not grown cotton already dyed various shades of brown, green, blue, pink and gray as it comes on the plant? And does he not expect to produce black in a few years as well as all the colors of the rainbow? Thus will the need of colors for cotton be obviated and the wealth that now is being accumulated by the dye barons will be diverted' in the cotton growing districts of the South. No mention is made of dyes for wool, but even .these will be unneces- On Selecting Doors. Haphazard selection of doors of the ready-made variety should not be allowed in the building of a fine home, declares an announcement issued at Chicago by the lumber interests. Doors should be designed by the architect who builds the structure, that they may be in keeping with the general style of the house, it is stated. It is pointed out that in the selection of an attractive and distinctive doorway depends the visitor's first impression of the home he is about to enter. Recounting the history of doors, lumber manufacturers point out that in early days wooden doors were hung on sockets instead of hinges. In the middle ages doors were richly carved and in the gothic period were nearly covered with intricate ornamentation extending as part of the hinges. when she sat down, blushing with surprise and embarrassment, she did not know what nasi caused the unprecedented hilarity. She had been reading and when she came to the word "lord," used as a title, she did not comprehend it properly. The sentence was, "My lord, permit me to pass." The little girl, evidently having heard the term used in another way, said with great emphasis and at the top of her voice: "My lord! Permit me to pass!"--Indianapolis News. PERSIA LAND OF.

Persia ranks among the foremost of ancient nations that have exercised the greatest influence on the fates of Europe. It has been a region of culture from the earliest age, where traces of the pure religion of Zerdusht which be brought among the nations from Mount Albordi, may still be recognized. The people who inhabit the southern side of the great ridge of hills have always displayed greater inventive power and greater constancy in preserving their institutions than the tribes who dwell to the northward. The former they owe to the ease and leisure afforded them by a most propitious climate and by their settled habits, not being prompted by ft restless spirit to a migratory life.
