A track from a Baltimore city hardware store backed up at the Towson Jail yesterday (Friday) and the driver handed Warden Bosley a ticket and a box consigned to one of the prisoners. The Warden hesitated about signing the slip and as is his custom, opened the box and was amazed to find a dozen hack-saws neatly packed on the inside. He immediately called up the hardware dealer and in a rage inquired what he meant sending such "weapons" to a prisoner held in a jail; whereupon the dealer explained that he had been called over the telephone by a man who gave the prisoners name and his address as "Stone Building, foot of Baltimore avenue, Towson." Neither Warden Bosley nor* the hardware dealer viewed the matter as a joke, but it seems certain that it was intended thusly. On Thursday the curtain was | drawn and The Jeffersonian's Community Christmas Tree and Realistic Garden was opened to the public, to remain until after New Year. Santa Claus was exceptionally busy the fore part of the week whipping things into shape for the opening, and the folks who have already viewed it pronounce it the best ever.

Stansbury, head of the Baltimore County Police Department, to help him, and as a result Dr. W. S. Carswell, connected with the Chief of Police's office at Towson, is looking around for a suitable bride. "I want to meet some girls," said Pat's letter to the Police Chief, and continuing, it said: "I'm a fine Irish lad, born on the Emerald Isle, a naturalized citizen of the United States, five feet ten inches tall, broad shoulders and weigh 170 pounds—a willing victim of any young woman who will take me for better or worse.

He has never failed to come on time since the Christmas night the wise men saw the star in the East over the manger of the infant Jesus. Santa Claus pays very little attention to grown-ups. His only mission in the world is to make little children happy. And he wants to make you all happy this Christmas. Of course, the most of you have written to Santa Claus, and have told him what you want him to bring you. Now in many cases you will not get all you ask for, and we do not want you to be disappointed, and for that reason we are writing (Continued on Page 8—Col. 4) E.

The identifying insignia consists of a reproduction of the Maryland State Seal, with a 'scroll above it containing the words "Special Deputy" and below that the words "Automobile Commissioner."

According to Schaller, the automobile began to skid about 50 feet from the wagon, and the left fender of the car struck the rear wheel of the wagon. The automobile turned over twice, pinning both men beneath it. After a vain attempt to extricate the men, Schaller drove his wagon to the police station, notifying police who went to the scene. The automobile was lifted and the men sent to Bay View Hospital in the Eastern district ambulance. Frank was dead. Charles, whose home is at 138 North Ellwood avenue, Baltimore City, was uninjured. JEFFERSONIAN CELEBRATES ITS FOURTEENTH BIRTHDAY WITH THIS ISSUE Hence We're Entitled To A Pair Of Long Trousers—Passing Of Our Fifteenth Milestone Will Be Observed In New Plant. With this issue The Jeffersonian celebrates its 14th anniversary, and it is entitled to a pair of long trousers. We are not boastful, but we are really proud of our growth and our record. When The Jeffersonian's first issue went its way into the homes of Baltimore County, the newspaper field here was pretty well covered. At that time there were the Maryland Journal, The Democrat, The Baltimore County Sentinel, The Union-News, the New Era and the White Hall News. All were sooner or later purchased by The Jeffersonian except the Union-News—our theory being that it was far better to have the general support of all the people for one newspaper and thus be enabled to produce a real up-to-the-minute sheet rather than a half dozen weak papers struggling for an existence, and we believe our judgment was right. The Jeffersonian "covers the community like the dew"—it is known and largely looked for by men. women and children in every nook and corner of the county.

It may be well to remind ourselves how some of these customs have come down through the years. Aboyt 340 A. D. Saint Cyril reported that the date of the birth of Christ was December 25. Pope Julius accepted this result of his research and a few years later established a festival at Rome on that date. Before the close of the century every Christian nation in Europe had accepted it. There have been so many discussions for and against the use of "Xmas" for* Christmas. This term is very simple, and must rest as a matter of preference wheth- (Continued on Page 8—Col. 3) RUXTON WOMAN TO WED CHICAGO MAN. Mrs. Harriet B.

The building will stand on the east siue of Washington Avenue, between Chesapeaka and Susquehanna Avenues and will be constructed of hollow tile and stucco, with daylight windows and skylight roof. When it was decided to secure more commodious quarters, both large and small newspaper plants were visited and additions and subtractions made, so that when completed, The Jeffersonian will be housed in one of the most modern publishing plants in the East. EVIDENCE NOT ENOUGH Ruxton Man Dismissed On Intoxication Charge,—Fined For Reckless Driving. Nathaniel W. James, of Ruxton, was hailed before the traffic court of Baltimore city charged with operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor, but was dismissed on this charge and fined $10 and costs for reckless driving. The fact that liquor may be smelled on a man's breath is not proof that he is drunk or unable to safely operate a motor car, the Magistrate stated in dismissing the charge.
