| THE ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT. ¦WITH'THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE9' Vol. XH—No. 35. "It Covers The Community Like The Dew' TOWSON, MARYLAND, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924. BALTIMORE COUNTY'S ONLY SUNDAY NEWSPAPER. We Are Told That Millions Of People In This Country Have Only The Mentality Of Children-But After Trying To Answer Our Children's Questions We Are Inclined To Think That Is Enough CHAS. MARX FILES SUIT AGAINST ORPHANS' COURT JUDGES Man Sent To Jail For Contempt, Alleging False Arrest And Imprisonment, Seeks $10,000 From Each ALSO WANTS $15,000 FROM ATTORNEY LAWRENCE E. ENSOR AND $70,000 FROM TWO OTHERS BATTERY OF ARTILLERY TO CAMP IN TOWSON ON SEPTEMBER TWELFTH Unit From Camp Meade, First To Fire Shot In World War, Participate In Gigantic Demonstration On "Old Defenders' Day." TEMPORARY, THAT'S ALL. *> « ? « ? * ? « ? J 4 ? « ? «? «> «? < ? < ? Very shortly a temporary building will be erected on the south side of the Court House Park for the accommodation of the engineers, draftsmen and other employees of the Metropolitan Sanitary District. At present they are all over the Court House and are shifted about from pillar to post. The time has come now, however, when quarters must be provided for them. There is no building obtainable suitable for the purpose in the town. So one must be provided. The Commissioners first thought of leasing a lot in the town and erecting upon it a suitable temporary building, but when the matter of expense, heating and plumbing was considered it was considered wise and most advisable to erect it on the Court House grounds near the building, so that it could have the benefit of the Court House heating plant, plumbing and lighting. The ©xact spot selected is the only one in the square where it can be built without destroying or injuring any of the trees Or plants. Naturally we all dislike to see anything on the grounds that will in the least destroy the beauty of the grounds and building, but as accommodations are necessary for this department, and it is only temporary, it is probably the best thing to do, especially since it will only be temporary —the best information being that it will be removed within two years from date. INSPECTION MADE Game Warden Visits Island In Gunpowder, Proposed For Game Refuge. State Game Warden E. LeCompte accompanied Assistant Water Engineer W. F. Armstrong to the Gunpowder river to make an inspection of an island which Water Department officials think will make an ideal game refuge. The island in question consists of between eight and ten acres of land, a part of which is cleared and the other part of which is wooded. If it is satisfactory the Game Department will purchase it. "Old Defender's Day," September 12th, promises to be a gala day at Towson; in fact, if there is no hitch in present plans the event will far surpass anything of the kind ever1 attempted in Baltimore county. A band of 120 pieces has been secured for the occasion by the committee in charge and the day pre-ceeding, September 11th, a batttry of artillery from Camp Meade, the United States unit that fired the first shot in the World War, will pitch camp right in the heart of the town, taking part in the demonstration on the 12th. Representatives of the War Department have promised thrills a-plenty for those who grasp the opportunity to spend the day at the county seat, for a "dare-devil" aviator will be sent from Boiling Field, near Washington, to do stunts, and a parachute jump over the Court House. After dark open air movies will be shown and the walks in the Court House Park turned into a dance floor. Folks who want to hear good speakers and spend an enjoyable day had better make preparations now to pack their lunch, come early and stay late, for there'll be something doing every minute.

Flies do spread disease. (Continued on Page 8—Col 4) how anxious a Democratic President may be to put them in execution, he is powerless without a Congress in sympathy with him. So many voters fail to recognize the importance of Congress; they appear to feel that if they elect a President he can accomplish anything alone; when the truth is that without a Congress cooperating with him his hands are practically tied. The great importance of having a full Democratic delegation in the House of Representatives from Maryland at this time is most apparent in this Presidential campaign. For Congress may determine who shall be the next President, and with La Follette running as an Independent it may be that neither (Continued on Page 8—Col. 3) Chap Removed As Executor Of Father's Estate, Was Released From Lock-Op August 12th, On Order Of The Court Of Appeals.
