Just as you cross the city-county boundary line coming north on the York Road, a bare hundred yards from the entrance to St. Vincent's Orphan Asylum, where several hundred little boys are housed, and just about the same distance from the new settlement, "Anneslie," where traffic is always heavy there is one of the yellow signs of the State Roads Commission informing motorists that the speed limit of 35 miles per hour begins. There is only one sign needed at this point, which should read, ''Be Careful — Orphans Asylum and Heavy Traffic Ahead." The invitation extended to motorists by the State Roads Commission to "step on the gas" is most flagrant. In "Anneslies" there are about twenty houses under construction, with large motor trucks going in and out all day, not to mention the hundreds of pleasure cars that pass during the course of 24 hours. Children from the Orphanage are liable to on the road at any time, yet a stranger using the highway, knowing nothing whatever of conditions, is invited to go the limit. This will never do—it will lead to disaster and these signs should be removed by the State Roads Commission and if it fails to do so we would not think harsh of individuals residing in the community who sawed them off under the cover of darkness. These speed limit signs absolutely contray to the laws of the State, are the subject of much criticism from citizens, who are amazed at the action of the State Roads Commission in having the audacity to erect them. It would indeed be interesting to have some sort of an explanation from the Commission, for as we understand it, a person driving at 35 miles an hour on any portion of the roads mentioned in this and previous issues of The Jeffersonian would be violating the law and therefore subject to punishment. Over on the Reisterstown road the County Commissioners, at the request of the School Board, placed a man at a school house when the children were going in the morning and when they left in the afternoon. An automobile came down the road at a rapid rate, the officer held up his hand for the operator to stop—he ignored, and went on by. The license number on the machine was taken and a summons issued for the man to appear before Justice McGraw at the Kkesville Police Station. The officer told his side of the story and the only defense the man put up was that when he saw a sign placed along the road bearing an authentic signature he felt they were authentic. The sign this man saw was one of those referred to above and as he testified that he was going but 25 miles an hour and the officer had no means of contradicting this, the magistrate did only what he could do under the circumstances—dismiss the case. Before these signs were placed the State highways were indeed dangerous for pedestrians, but now unless the State Roads Commission sees the folly in its madness and removes them, or else railed sidewalks, hospitals will be railed sidewalks hospitals will be overcrowded, undertakers busy and cemetery lots selling at a premium. NOW'S THE TIME. Spring this year seems more a name than a season, being so long delayed and so fickle in its coming. Adverse weather conditions! have prevented even our most thrifty house owners from doing the thousand and one jobs which are customary with the first signs of spring. So now, with the industrious and slothful practically on a par because of the unfavorable weather, The Jeffersonian urges folks in every village and hamlet in Baltimore county to clean up and paint up. While responsibility for keeping streets in our town clean rest upon public officials, we must remember that both their force and funds are limited and a bit of co-operation on the part of citizens will go a great ways toward benefitting all. Just as in towns, order and neatness appeal to taste, so it is in the rural sections. Taking it all-in-all there are but few "eye sores" in Baltimore county—and it is to be hoped that the spirit of pride demonstrated year after year here, there and everywhere within our borders will continue. Cleaning up and painting up pays for itself many times over-it not only enhances one's self-respect, but raises us in the esteem of others. Let us do the job well this year and having done it, let us make an extra effort to see that things are kept clean. WHICH? There is no doubt that the automobile is the greatest invention of all times, but it has (made the country the common property of all its inhabitants to a degree beyond anything known since the Indians roamed at will over its; vast domain. So far as«the gratifications of his senses are concerned, the motorist without title to a foot of land is as much the land owner of any rural scene that suits his fancy as the landlord himself. Legal title to land gives one a chance to work it or improve it. The privilege of enjoying it belongs to anyone with a machine to get him there and eyes to see, ears to hear and a nose to smell. However, this new proprietorship has its responsibility. It makes each one of us the custodian of the country's charm—really quite the heaviest responsibility that as a people we have ever borne. Can we check the vandalism for which we are famous and demonstrate our right to be called civilized—or must we be known as barbarians put up in Ford tins? (L&QJKSOfl * WITH Y@M» AKI& Y®y SHIP Al@ffll (By D. P.) CHIMNEY FIRE CAUSES ALARM. Flames leaping from the chimney-on the ice plant of S. H. Yeats, Glyn-don, caused the Glyndon and Reisterstown Fire Companies being called out. The blaze was quickly extinguished. AUTO GOES OVER EMBANKMENT. Skidding on the Liberty road, an automobile driven by Mrs. Charles Kidd, of Baltimore city, went over an embankment, the driver and two small children escaping injury. Mrs. Mary Sewell, who was a passenger in the machine, suffered a fractured left arm and several cuts. SERVICES AT FRAZIER MEMOR-IAL. CHAPEL. TOMORROW.

The Women's Auxiliary will hold its annual Easter tea in the Sunday School room on Monday at 5 P. M. -------------o------------- TO ATTEND BAPTIST CONVENTION. LET'S GO! The reason some fellows get on in the world, Get up, get the cash and get happy, Is really no secret; it's simple as play— Their method is this: "Make it snappy." They leap from the hay, and they jump for their pants; They swallow their coffee, toot sweet. The yellow-eyed daisies don't sprout in their tracks, No verdure grows under their feet. They rush and they hustle, they're pulsing with pep, They're hitting on high as they pass. And so, if you'd bring home the bacon my boy, Just step on it. Give her the gas. -------------o------------- KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. If a friend has done you harm, Give it not widespread alarm. Show to him his wrongful play; Help him mend his evil way, And keep it to yourself. If you hear of one "gone wrong," Do your best to make him strong. Never kick a man who's down Or aid the gossips of the town— Keep it to yourself. Errors men commit live long, Men are weak and men are strong. Help the weak to see the Light; Lead them on the path to right— And keep it to yourself. -------------o------------- PRUDENCE. In Georgia they tell of a country minister, the Reverend Tyler Bliss, who was driving a spirited horse through a village, when he overtook the local physician, who happened to be on foot, and invited him in for a lift. Ten minutes later the horse bolted, tipped over the carriage and spilled both men. The doctor rose to his feet and felt himself over to see whether he was injured. Then he turned angrily toward the clergyman. "See here," he demanded. "What do you mean by inviting me to ride behind an animal like that?" "Well," replied the minister mildly, "it was lucky that this time there were no bones broken. But I always like to have a doctor with me when I drive that horse." you THE WAY SHE COOKED CLAMS. New Cook—An' plase, ma'am, how shall I cook the clams? Mistress—Why, how have cooked them in other places? New Cook—Shure, I alius made iyster soup wid 'em. -------------o------------- NO FUN. A woman came into a car with five children. She busied herself seating them. A benevolent old gentleman arose and gave her his seat. "Are these all your children, madam?" he asked, "or is it a picnic?" "They're all mine," snapped the woman, "and it's no picnic." -------------o------------- NO DAMAGE DONE. After much excitement the Smiths had at last managed to catch the train. Now, when they could sit quietly for a while, they began to wonder if they had left anything behind. Mrs. Smith gave a shriek. "Oh, Harry," she gasped, "I forgot to turn off the electric iron!" "Don't worry, darling," he replied, "nothing will burn. I forgot to turn off the shower bath." LOGICAL. Harvard Graduate—The members of my class who have married have had an average of a little less than two children. Vassar Graduate—Isn't that remarkable? The married women of my class have averaged almost three. I wonder what that proves? Harvard Graduate—Oh, not much. Simply that women have more children than men. Rev. Richard W. Wickes, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, Towson, will attend the Southern Baptist convention in Atlanta, Ga., May 15 to 19. -------------o------------- NEW JERSEY FOLKS GUESTS AT COUNTY SEAT.

"Well, I'm sure ye're very we} come." Sand (desperately) — "Maggi< woman! D'e no begin to suspec something?" -----------o----------- HELP. Andy carried the mail to a neigl boring village in a small one-seatel wagon. One day, there having beej a death on his route, he was bringin| the casket for the burial, and als had a lady passenger. There was n| place to accommodate her except tl I out with his passenger seated therf on. Before long he was hailed by man with: "Hi, there, Andy! The corpse out!" TO END "LAME DUCK' CONGRESSES. Our Federal Government was formulated 187 years ago. It was geared low in harmony with the period that saw its birth. There were then no railroads, no telegraph or telephone, no travel or communication by air. It was a long journey to Washington for many Members of Congress, who had to go through a virgin country by coach or horseback, or at best by canal. It required much time for the legislators to arrange personal and business affairs and get to the capital. So it was stipulated that unless Congress ordered otherwise it should meet each year on the first Monday in December, the first session of each Congress coming thirteen months after election. More than a century and third have passed, and the nation has learned a good many things from hard practice that the fathers of the Constitution could not know. We know, for* instance, that deferring the assembling of Congress for thirteen months after election accomplishes no good result. On the contrary, it prevents prompt fulfillment of popular mandates and is the negation of popular government. It tends to destroy the bond of understanding Ibetween Congressmen and their constituents. . .With the Norris resolution ending "Lame Duck" Congress recently passed by the Senate 62 to 7, and now a part of the organic law, each new Congress will assemble two months after election. No member of House or Senate repudiated at the polls would return to Congress after election even for a single day. Special sessions would become rare. The Presidential inauguration might lose something of its social and spectacular importance, but it wrould occur at a time much better calculated than now to give the office the utility and responsibility that rightly belongs to it. -----------o------------ TO OBSERVE EASTER Special Services And Musical Programs In Nearly All County Churches. Following the forty days of Lent, Easter will be observed in nearly all the churches of Baltimore County tomorrow (Sunday) by special sermons and appropriate music. Holy week, which will be brought to a close tonight (Saturday) was comemorated by services -each night in many edifices. TO ADDRESS ATLANTA CONVENTION. Dr. Martin F. Sloan, Superintendent of Eudowood Sanitarium, Towson, will be the speaker at the session of the National Tuberculosis Association to be held in Atlanta, Ga., May 6 to 10. ¦---------------o--------------- HARVARD STUDENT SPENDING EASTER WITH TOWSON PARENTS. C. Walter Cole, son of Clerk of the Circuit Court Wm. P. Cole, Sr., who is a student at the Harvard Law School, is spending the Easter holiday at his home at Towson. -----------o----------- REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE EXPOSES G. O. P. CONGRESS AS "DO NOTHING" BODY. LLOYD WILKINSON, RENEGRADE DEMOCRAT, ENLISTS UNDER THE ENEMY'S FLAG. Former Protege Of Senator John Walter Smith And A One-Time Pet Of State Organization, Announces He Is Republican Candidate For Congress. NO ANSWER, A young man was spending the| week-end at Atlantic City at the cottage of little Willie's parents. Onl Sunday evening after dinner theref being a number of guests and scarcity of chair, the young man tool Willie on his lap. Then during a pause in the convert sation little Willie looked up at the young man and in a piercing voic4 asked: Am I as heavy as sistej Mabel?" (Continued from Page 1) that he is the Republican candidate against the Republican organization for Congress in this district, which means that unless .he withdraws, Baltimore and Harford Counties and several wards in Baltimore City, will be required to conduct a primary at considerable expense in order that he may find out just how cordially the Republicans will receive him into their fold. The Jeffersonian is not to be understood as opposing primary contests, for on the contrary, it believes in them, ofte nproving helpful to the party having con/tests, but in this case, where a man who has received from his party more honors than ordinarily come to the most active citizen, and then because he is not given a life position, to desert his party and enlist under the enemy's flag, it is an outrage that the taxpayers' should be compelled to stand the expense made necessary by his candidacy. If the Republicans treat Mr. Wilkinson as he deserves—then, at the next Congressional election, we may find him running as a Socialist. We have no regret that this gentleman has left the Democratic par-ty^we have not heard of a single tear having been shed and do not believe there is any rejoicing in the Republican ranks due to his casting his lot with them. PRIMARY ELECTION THROUGHOUT STATE MAY BE NECESSARY ACCORDING TO ELECTION LAW. Coolidge Candidacy Held Responsible —Hopes Of Taxpayehs That Cost-; ly Preliminary Bout Would Be Avoided Gets "Set-Back. (Continued from Page 1) example, Republican voters are not bound to register their choice for Coolidge although he is the only candidate who has qualified in Maryland. The wording is found on Page 115 of the 1923 compilation of the Election Laws, made by the Secretary of State at that time, and is taken from Chapters 163 and 475 of the Acts of 1914, reading as follows: "The Board of Supervisors of Elections in each county of the State and of Baltimore city shall cause to be printed on the primary election ballots in each of said counties and in each Legislative district of Baltimore city and beneath the name or group of names of any qualified candidates or candidates for the nomination of President of any of such parties, and distinctly separated by appropriate lines from the name or names of such qualified candidates and in plainly legible type the words, 'For an unin-structed Delegation,, and to the right thereof a square for the crossmark of the voter ... so that such voters of the party who wish to vote for an uninstructed delegation to the National convention of their party may do so." The matter was taken up with the Attorney General's Office, and Willis R. Jones, one of the assistants, stated the law seemed clear on the subject and that it evidently would be ~iio.t a. nrimaxy NEW ADVERTISEMENTS APPLICATION FOR MOVING PICTURE LICENSE.
