Making Some Offices Appointive Held Unnecessary In View Of Cost Of Amendments—Would Cut Size Of Paper. Mechanical changes to make ballots smaller only are recommended in the report of the Shorter Ballot Commission appointed by Governor \ Ritchie. The report has been sub-; mitted to the Governor. It is suggested that the actual size of the paper to be voted may be | reduced by making the squares, smaller, placing referendums at the| bottom of the ballot instead of in a separate column, using smaller type and eliminating the blank spaces in which the voter may write a name. The members of the commission state that their study of the question converted them to the short ballot principle and they heartily approve of its application where needed. They add that there is very little need of it in Maryland, since we already have fewer elective officials than most of the States. If they were preparing a constitution for the State, the members say, they would provide for the appointment of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals by that Court. They assert that there are good reasons for the appointment of the Attorney-General by the Governor, but they have reached no definite conclusion as to this office. County and City Surveyors, they say, might well be appointed by the County Commissioners or the Mayor, as the case might be, but they do not believe the advantages to be derived by making these positions ap- WIUD ASK CITY FOR DREDGE. Permission of the Board of estimates to build a dredge at Loch Raven will be asked by V. Bernard Siems, Water Engineer of Baltimore City. The dredge is necessary, he said, to clarify and deepen shallow marginal waters at Loch Raven. Mr. Seims estimated the dredge and machinery needed for its operation will cost $20,000. Clarifying of shallow waters is expected to eliminate the presence of algae and other organisms which have resulted in complaints. pointive will justify the expense involved in submitting constitutional amendments. The report is signed by Chief Judge James P. Gorter, of the Supreme Bench; Edward M .Allen, F. Neale Parke, Albert G. Towers and former Judge William C. Walsh. The late N. Charles Burke, former Judge of the Court of Appeals, was a member and was the first chairman. After his death the remaining members elected Judge Gorter chairman. MRS. ELVA M.

I f THE OVERLEA BANK, Overlea, Md. A W. J. Seward, President Judge Walter W. Preston signed a decree in the Circuit Court at Towson granting Mrs. Elva M. Fithian an absolute divorce from Donald C. Fithian. Mr. Fithian is required to pay his former wife $100 per month, as permanent alimony, and is also required to convey to" her his dower interest and equity in certain real estate. The divorce was granted on the ground of infidelity. According to the testimony Fithian, who is said to be a bond salesman, formerly employed by W. W. Lanahan, registered at the Hotel Raleigh, Atlantic City, on May 16, 1923, with a woman other than his wife, under the assumed names of "Donald Frankley and wife, Baltimore." Two slips of paper, one addressed to "My most precious treasure," and the other to "My Angel of Dreams," were offered in evidence by Mrs. Fithian, who said that they had been sent by her husband to Mrs. Albert E. Lewis, of Washington, D. C, and that she had received them from Mr. Lewis, who found them in his wife's diary. According to the bill of complaint the parties were married at Laurel, Maryland, June 27, 1900, and have two children—a son, 22, and a daughter, 19—both of whom are now living with their mother on Leeds avenue, Relay. Mr. Fithian, it is said, left home July 23, 1923. -----------o----------- BOARD OF EDUCATION DISCUSSES NEEDS OF SCHOOLS WITH COUNTY DELEGATION. mer, and three brothers, H. Carroll Brown, George Brown, Jr., and Irwin M. Brown. Funeral services were held at Sherwood Protestant Episcopal Church, Cockeysville, by the Rev. Thomas B. A. Allison. Burial was in the cemetery adjoining the church. -----------o----------- MRS. CALEB S. HOBBS SUCCUMBS. Funeral services for Mrs. Rachel Worthington Hobbs, wife of Caleb S. Hobbs, were held from the home of her son, Rezin C. Hobbs, Owings Mills. The Rev. George A. Letrell, pastor of Fort Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Rev. William Cummins, pastor of Mount Washington Presbyterian Church, conducted the services. Burial was in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Nephews of Mrs. Hobbs acted as pallbearers. Mrs. Hobbs, who was the daughter of the late Rezin and Mary Cock-ey Worthington, is survived by her1 husband, Caleb S. Hobbs, two sons, Rezin Hobbs, and T. C. Worthington Hobbs, and two daughters, Mrs. Harry Fairbanks and Mrs. Anna K. Strickland. HOG CHOLERA TAKES ITS TOLL. A conference between the Baltimore County Board of Education and the members of the County Delegation to the Legislature was held recently. A comprehensive statement in regard -to the needs of schools was presented to the Legislators. It is the general opinion that the only feasible plan to meet the conditions is another issue of bonds to erect new school buildings. The population of the County is increasing daily, and there is consequently an increasing demand for increased school facilities. -----------o----------- MRS. ISABELLA B. MERRYMAN DEAD. Mrs. Isabella Brown Merryman, widow of James McK. Merryman, of Grove Farm, Brooklandville, died at the Hospital for the Women of Maryland. Death followed an illness of 15 days. Mrs. Merryman was a daughter of the late George and Francis Winchester Brown, of Brooklandwood, Green Spring Valley. She is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Nathan R. Smith, Mrs. Walter W. Keith; Mrs. Sara C. Field and Mrs. Honore Pal- Dr. Atherton, in charge of Hog Cholera control in Maryland, reports that during the year 1923 hog cholera appeared on one farm in every hundred in the State. The losses were 4,750 hogs or about 1% per cent, of the hogs estimated to be on Maryland farms January 1, 1923. Baltimore County had 31 outbreaks, eight less than in 1922, but 9 more than in 1921 and 13 more than in 1920. Many of our 1923 outbreaks occurred in November and were traceable to the feeding of garbage. By promptly reporting any cases of sick hogs in your neighborhood to W. C. Rohde, County Agent, Towson, you can greatly help to check a possible spread of cholera in the community. If farmers would but remember that "Systematic Sanitation Saves Swine," they would be money in the pocket. ------------o----------- JURY IN HALL vs. BROOKS CASE DISAGREES. The jury in the suit of Gladys Elizabeth Hall against W. C. Brooks and John C. Brooks, of Sparks, for $2,500 damages for injuries alleged to have been received by being run down by the defendant's automobile, which was tried in the Circuit Court at Towson, disagreed, and was discharged by Judge Preston. The accident occurred on May 3, at the corner of Howard and Franklin streets, Baltimore City. The plaintiff was represented by J. F. H. Gor-such, Jr., and Daniel C, Joseph. -----------o----------- McKENDRIE CHURCH TO CELEBRATE 80TH ANNIVERSARY. McKendrie M. E.

The Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks and Romans vied with each other in lamp construction. Some of the specimens that have been preserved to the present day display much taste and beauty of design.
