AESOP'S FILM FABLES TOPICS OF THE DAY ;i Performances Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 27th, 1.45—4.45 and 8 P. M. Army & Navy Game Day, SSturday, November 29th, 2—7.45 and 10.45 P. M. Bad Coughs Ended tail ion tie: Remarkable results in quickly clearing up the severest coughs have been obtained with a prescription by a well-known specialist that does two things at once. It not only soothes and heals the soreness and irritation, but it very quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the real cause of the coughing. It is often astonishing how speedily the cough stops. The prescription is known as Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs. It ia particularly valuable for night coughing. To promptly end this annoying and weakening scourge, simply before retiring take one teaspoonful of Dr. King's New Discovery and hold It in your throat 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing. People who have been unable to rest on account of continual coughing have often gotten their full 8 or 9 hours' sleep by this simple method. Dr. King's Is excellent, too, for children's spasmodic croup, bronchitis, laryngitis, bronchial asthma and hoarseness. Ori sale at all good druggists. Ask fop Mclntyre and Heath, probably the most famous team of comedians on the stage, are returnning to vaudeville in probably the most famous skit the theatre has ever known— j "The Georgia Minstrels." Theatre-' goers of two generations remember the stranded Minstrel Troupe and darkies regret at their having left ; the livery stable. This skit is un-! doubtedly the high water mark of j black-face comedy. Mclntrye and ] Heath have been prominent in the theatre for a generation. Last season they starred in a musical comedy called "Red pepper." They have not been seen in the two-a-day for seven years and their return is a genuine event. What chamber music is to the concert stage, William Embs and Helen Alton are to the stage. Their efforts are most artistic and their appeal is general. However, it is to the refined taste that they appeal mostly. Mr. Embs and Miss Alton are instrumentalists and novelists. They both sing. One plays the violin and the other the piano. They contribute twelve minutes to melodoy that deserves and always receives prompt recognition. (Continued from Page 1) farmer needs legislation, the same as labor, finance and industry, but legislation at best is but an enabling act. Self-help, not Government help, will secure real prosperity. Orators have expounded, commissions have investigated, writers have given us a deluge of books and literature on the farmers' condition and its cure with little benefit." Taber pointed out that during the last three years farm valuer had shrunk $20,000,000,000 and ti at in 1922 more than 1,100,000 tillers of the soil had left the farm and there probably were more last year. Reiterating the grange's opposition to the proposed sales tax, on the ground that it penalized those who must spend virtually their entire income in family maintenance, Taber urged that Congress take prompt measures to bring about further reduction to the tax burden on the farmer. He suggested the Federal tax on automobiles be used exclusively for construction and maintenance of highways, and that ' the farm-to-market roads be not neglected in the development of a national highway system. NO ELECTIONS IN STATO DURING 1925—DUE TO FEWER ELECTIONS LAW PASSED BY LAST LEGISLATURE. Under Act, Terms Of All State And County Officers Except Judges Elected In '26 And Subsequently Will Be For Four Years. COUNTY SEAT GOES DRY—METROPOLITAN SANITARY ENGINEER MAKES OFFICIALS "STEP LIVELY" TO RESTORE USUAL WATER SUPPLY. (Continued from Page 1) If a serious fire had started there is no telling what might have hap-peened, for there was no water supply with which fire apparatus could combat flames. Too often has the City of Baltimore, on which the county must depend for its supply, negligently cut Off the flow without notice to anyone. The benefit of the Metropolitan Sanitary District was clearly demonstrated when Chief Engineer Albert E. Walden got immediately into communication with the Water Engineer of Baltimore city and made that official "step lively" to give Towson and the adjoining territory its usual supply of water, and in less than an hour the supply was adequate. The cause of the "cut-off" was due to a repair being made in a pump, which, instead of being done in the day, when the demand upon the supply is great, should have been donei at night, when there was but little usage.

'THE MAGNOLIA LADY' AUDITORIUM. AT Baltimore theatregoers will see an exceptionally interesting event next week at the Auditorium Treatre when Henry Miller presents his newest venture, "The Magnolia Lady." This very important musical production was written by Anne Caldwell, librettist for "Chin Chin," "The Night Boat," and "Good Morning Dearie." It is built on the well remembered A. E. Thomas comedy, "Come Out of the Kitchen," which served as a starring vehicle for Miss Ruth Chatterton some six or seven years ago, and which ranks as one of her biggest comedy successes. The score, including the song numbers, are composed by Harold Levey, whose melodious music is familiar to Baltimore theatregoers.

PHOJiE OR WRITE FOR DEMONSTRATION. HENRY RECKORD Telephone, 3 West Ikuyson 33 TOWSON, MD. Chesapeake Ave. (Continued from Page 1) two little pieces of property, an automobile and even the furniture were mortgaged, sold and spent by the dead man when, according to testimony at the trial, he neglected his wife and son for the "primrose path" that ended in his death in an automobile on the Valley road. Mrs. Pedeli didn't speak of her husband and she, just freed of his murdeer by a jury, was apparently the most composed of the circle of friends that sat about her. Little boys who race the streets in the thickly populated Italian quarter peered through the window and door, others stood on the pavement before the house looking for a glimpse of the woman who years ago had left the quarter with her husband on a tide of prosperity and had returned to it again without him. As Mrs. Fedeli spoke the door would fly open and in would rush one of her former friends, saying: "Oh, I'm so glad you are free. I cried for you all night. I prayed for you. Oh, how I prayed that they would set you free. I know what you went through. I have the same trouble with my husband." And the two women would fall into each other's arms, kissing wildly. But it was Mrs. Pedeli who would say, "Hush, now; hush. It's all right now. Don't cry." Continuing, she said: "My sister has a room for me. She will take care of me. I knew I would go free, for I watched the faces of the people in the courtroom and they all looked so kind. They wanted me to go free. There's still justice in the world." The eyes of the other women in the little room were red from weeping, and their faces were streaked with tears, but Mrs. Fedeli still seemed gripped by the nervous tension of the courtroom. She peered closely at each new face from behind thick lensed glasses for, according to her counsel, her eyesight is failing rapidly as the result of a disease. She concluded: "I haven't thought of the future yet. But God will take care of me. Didn't He see that justice was done?" (Continued from Page 1) full State ticket, a United States Senator, six members of the House of Representatives, sundry judges, various court clerks and county officials, to say nothing of members of the General Assembly, are to be elected. The State ticket will comprise candidates for Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General and Cle«k of the Court of Appeals. Under the Fewer Elections Amendment terms of all State and county officers, except Judges, elected in 1926 and subsequently will be for four years. Terms of such officials elected in 1923 were reduced to three years, so their successors might be elected in 1926. The next reegular session of the General Assembly will be in 1927. Under the old order it would have been in 1926, but the Fewer Elections Amendment changed that. At the next regular session of the Assembly all of the members, Senate as well as House, will have been newly elected—that is, elected in the fall of 1926. There will be no "hold-over" members in the Senate. That is one change that the Fewer Elections Amendment makes in the Legislature. Another is that members of the House of Delegates will be elected for terms of four years instead of two. The General Assembly, under the operation of the Fewer Elections Amendment, will continue to convene in regular session every two years, but its members will be elected every four years... Though the bill submitting the Fewer Elections Amendment was put through the Legislature as a Democratic measure, Democrats are by no means a unit in maintaining that the amendment will work wholly for good. To some of the conservatives the electing of members- of the House of Delegates every four years seems a departure from the governmental theoory that members of the lower branch of the General Assembly (or the Federal Congress) should be elected at frequent intervals to the end that they may be a sensitive register of public opinion. Abolition of hold-over members of the Senate is another feature not universally approved. HONOR I^NOT~ALL President Gets $75,000 A Year With Numerous "Little Things" Tin-own In. OLD TIME DANCE POSTPONED INDEFINITELY. Owing to the death of the wife of Lewis Mitchell, the leader of Mitchell's Orchestra, the "old time" dance, at which the orchestra furnishes music and which was scheduled to have been held last night (Friday) at White Hall, has been indefinitely postponed. (Continued from Page 1) dencies, these mean no little in a material way, toward provision for the future. Of course all these come merely as incidentals, but New England common sense forbids that even incidentals be slighted when they may help make things more cozy for a future rainy day. Chief of the material emoluments Coolidge will receive as President for the next four years is the $75,-000 annual salary, payable semimonthly. There is an additional travel allowance of $25,000 yearly, to be drawn on as needed. Doubtless a substantial part of this will be returned to the treasury each year during Coolidge's regime. For the President is not a gadabout. A further direct factor of pay is the executive mansion, as residence, furnished, lighted, heated and staffed at the cost of the nation. The Presidential perquisites, however, make up an imposing list. He has a private office in the capitol, glittering with gold and crystal, at which touring visitors gaze in awe. He has a flock of the finest automobiles; a private detective and police force; a private art gallery; a private library; a private yacht when he travels by water and a private railroad train if he goes by land. Private greenhouses supply fresh flowers for his desk ;>and dinner table, and half a dozen brass bands are on call when he wants stirring music. A personal physician looks after the physical welfare of himself and his family and he gets the right of way over all telephone and telegraph wires when he wants to send a message. He eats on fine linen which has the coat of arms of the United States wovene into its texture, from china and glassware bearing the seal of the U. S. And at Thanksggiving and Christmas ardent admirers send in the biggest turkeys and the fattest 'possums to burden the Presidential table—and digestion! SOARING PRICES MAY ELIMINATE TURKEY FROM THANKSGIVING DINNER. giving the market probably would be flooded and the prices reduced greatly. In 1921 and 1922 at this time, before prices had been reduced on anything, the highest price re-( ceived for turkeys was ' 65 cents a] pound. In view of these facts, organiz-! ations of Baltimore county women' are threatening to boycott the traditional Thanksgiving fowl and take up roast pork and applesauce or! corned beef and cabbage. Last year the Housewives' League bought turkeys from Maryland farmers and sold them greatly below the market price thereby helping to re-j duce the general retail price. Mrs. Peter B. Bradley, president of the league said the matter would be taken up at the next board meet-j ing of the league, and if the present' prices are not reduced, a similar campaign will be conducted this j year. ? 3 PERSONS INJURED. (Continued from Page 1) With the crash Hock was thrown forward onto the steering wheel, the shock rendering him unconscious. One side of the touring car was practically demolished, and as the car careened across the roadway Lukas and Whitley were thrown to the ground. A. C. Horn, 421 North Luzerne street, Baltimore city, who arrived at the scene of the accident within a few moments loaded the injured men into his car and rushed them to Baltimore, where they were taken in other cars to their homes and given attention by family physicians. Hock's condition is reported as unfavorable. Police of the Essex Station are seeking the driver of the brick truck. other words they uphold their murders. A check-up on the travel over the Seminary avenue crossing made by The Jeffersonian from midnight Wednesday until midnight Thursday showed that 210 automobiles passed over the railroad tracks at Luther-ville where there are no safety gates and no watchman, while pedestrians numbering 504 crossed. During the same period a checkup was made at Timonium, where there are gates and a watchman, and but 71 automobiles passed and 35 pedestrians. Jush why railroad officials do not feel that the Luther-ville crossing is a dangerous one we are at a loss to understand. Why gates are wanted at Timonium, where travel is so much less is also a problem beyond our solution. But great railroads, like all other great corporations and , combines, have and always will ignore the people and tell them to go where it's hot unless laws are made to protect the weak against the strong. The Jeffersonian does not believe in the Ku Klux Klan nor its methods, but if the men of Lutherville banded together and took the law into their own hands, ripping up the railroad tracks or dumping tons of stone and debris upon the tracks so that trains could not rurf, we'd back them up. If the Railroad's attention had not been repeatedly called to the Lutherville crossing, things might be viewed in a vastly different aspect, bu only five days before this fatal crash the president of the Lutherville Improvement Association called on General Superintendent Smith and asked him not to wait until a serious accident occurred before he condescended to erect gates at this point. Railroads are cold-blooded, inhuman and callous. They are compelled to pay lawyers fat salaries and they would rather fight the public than to spend money to protect them, and it a serious accident occurs are always ready with an apology—but what does an apology mean when three young lives are without warning snuffed out?

Sellman, of Towson, was summoned immediately after the accident and upon his arrival pronounced Pickering and Wight dead and rushed Russell to the hospital. Failure of the Railroad Company to properly protect the Lutherville crossing was declared in the verdict of a coroner's jury, summoned by Justice Wm. P. Butlec, which placed the blame for the accident on the Railroad. Two years or more ago the Lutherville Improvement Association waited on the County Commissioners requesting that the Board compel the Railroad Company to place safety gates and a watchman at the crossing, and the Board of County j Commissioners sent h.n order to thej Railroad Company to do so. After | the case was reviewed in the Circuit | Court at Towson and the order of the County Commissioners upheld, I the Railroad Company took an ap-j peal, which has been pending everj since. According to statements made by officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad, they "wash their hands" of the whole affair and assume the attitude that the lives of autoists and pedestrians do not count for much in the operation of their trains—in I J.

(Continued from Page 1) turkeys this year, shipments are continually arriving and there is no danger of a scarcity when the Thanksgiving rush begins Last year the supply was smaller and the prices ranged from 50 to 60 cents a pound. Several neighborhood stores were retailing turyeks at Thanksgiving last year for 48 cents a pound. They were selling wholesale as low as 35 cents a pound, even when the supply was low. Proprietors of poultry stalls in the markets said there is every reason for lower prices this year. In Richmond Market, Baltimore city, the highest price was demanded. One stall sold turkeys for 60 cents a pound and the manager declared they probably would be 70 cents in a week.
