Parzynsky, 43 years old, a resident of the Trappe road, died suddenly of heart disease at almost the same moment when priests at Holy Rosary Church were celebrating mass in which his son, Thomas, and Miss Annie Novski were made man and wife. The father was enroute to the wedding when stricken. ST. HELENA MAN HURT ABOARD PORTO RICO LINER. Leon Anderson of St. Helena, was injured in an accident aboard the (Continued from Page 1) windows on that portion of the structure. During the war of 1812 a volunteer company was formed at the Cockeysville Hotel, marching to Baltimore, where it joined the forces defending that city from the British forces under General Ross. The Mexican War found a part of the slave quarters at the building connected into an arsenal commanded by Thomas D. Cockey, who was head of the "Cockeysville Blues." One of the cannons of this contingent is still in existence. According to local tradition the old hotel was the theatre for many stirring events. Just before and after the Civil War. Secession being the topic of the day that subject was thoroughly discussed, often with much bitterness, and conculsions came to by participants influenced their later conduct, many becoming active, suffering the hardships of the conflict between North and South.

(Continued from Page 1) does the State Roads Commission care—it has erected its "step on the gas invitations" and from its attitude, that of silent contempt, tells the people to go to the hot place. What the people are clamoring for is an explanation, but for some unaccountable reason it is not forthcoming. Probably an appeal to Governor Ritchie may result in the authorities could do to protect the traveling public, would be to place warning signs, calling attention to dangers. Without consistency, the States Roads Commission has placed in Towson, at the top of Chew's steep hill, one of its yellow signs inviting motorists to "step on the gas" and speed along at 35 miles per hour. Naturally our citizens cannot understand it. It is just as if the steam railroads would take down their "Stop, Look and Listen" signs and erect in their stead signs reading "Speed up and Take a Chance," there are plenty of fools who would follow the suggestion and go to their death, and so it is with these yellow signs, there are hundreds of idiots who will follow them and either get hurt them" selves or seriously injure or kill some careful, law-abiding driver and his family. At the Court House the other day these yellow signs were the topic of half a dozen attorneys, two were from Baltimore City and one of these "omethkig; at any rate the State said: "I think they are a good thing Roads Commission is not so Ir^h and mighty that it can ignore the people, and it might be well for its members to realize tha-; all State anl county officers are public servants and accountable to the people.

This was an intelligent man who milled and he actually believed it lawful for him to go the limit. How about the ignorant chauffeur who does not stop to think? Isn't it likely that he will open up when he approaches one of these signs? As a matter of fact we know they do; not only with passenger cars but with heavily laden trucks as well. Some terrible accident is bound to occur, then an investigation will be made and they will eventually be re moved.

Here the tragedy is a tragedy of misunderstanding, "a conflict between the conservative point of view of a past generation and the eager, liberal outlook of a modern age." Yet, declares Chief Stansbury, the blame for runaways can not be placed entirely upon the parents, for frequently they are more sinned against than sinning. Sometimes the motives for leaving home could be swerved in another direction through a proper educational impetus. We can point out to the fathers and mothers their responsibility in the matter, when the mistakes are theirs, but when the children are in error, we must correct an educational system or perhaps mend a flaw in the fabric of society itself in order to solve the problem.

Robert Gilmore promptly accepted; the bout took place in the hotel yard, and in short order Gilmore rendered his opponent helpless. Much disap1-pointed, the soldiers demanded the officer to compel Gilmore to fight the champion of the regiment. This infuriated Gilmore to such an extent that he made even shorter work of the champion. This incident gave to the Confederacy one of its most gallant and courageous calvary leaders. Another frequenter of the old Cockeysville Hotel, whose actions during this period became subject of national knowledge was John Merry-man. He was arrested and imprisoned for his sympathy to the Confederacy. This gave Rogger B. Tawney the case that brought forth the legal master-piece, "Tawney's Opinion on the Writ of Habeas Corpus."

The motives which prompt youths to run away—hurt feelings, desire to be alone, rebellion against authority, boredom, love of adventure and a desire to see the world—indicate, says Chief Stansbury, a mental, emotional and physical awakening. In most cases it is frank impulse or innocent desire that causes a boy to run away to sea or to join the Army, while the bright lights of Broadway, the jazz of the dance halls, automobiles and fine clothes attract the girl, because they represent her ideal of the beautiful. In any case, the advice of Chief Stansbury is: Remember that the runaway has violated no law and in being detained to await the arrival of relatives or friends should not be imprisoned. Detention quarters for runaways should be attractive and wholesome, designed to inspire hope and confidence and restore the wanderer to a more normal state of mind and course of action. In reclaiming runaways, policemen are saving children whose brightness and bravery will serve society in a better way at some future time. ond owner of the hotel, who was born in 1800 and died in 1891. MEMBERS OF L.UTHERVIL.LE IMPROVEMENT ASSO. AND FRIENDS HAVE ENJOYABLE EVENING. According To Chief Stansbury, Reasons Range From Sublime To Ridiculous—Fame, Fortune And Freedom Beckon To Youngsters. (Continued from Page 1) sublime to the ridiculous. Fame, fortune, freedom, beckon to the lad and no less to the girl. Above all is youth's eternal longing for adventure. From experience Chief Stansbury has found that many youngsters run away to escape unhappy home conditions. Fear of punishment and parental wrath often cause them to flee the hearth and it is these children who, out of desperation, easily become the prey of vicious persons, because they have no definite purpose in mind when they start out, and welcome suggestions from suave strangers. Too often we read of girls attacked, slain and left on lonely highways— too many times a father's strictness figures prominently among a girl's reasons for leaving home unannounced. A typical tragic case is one in I which the father takes every cent his S daughter earns, allowing her no | spending money except enough fori {/ car fare each day and perhaps al measly 15 cents for lunch.

Finally, revolting against such treatment, the girl deserts the parental roof, much to the Despite continued miserable weather nearly one hundred members and guests of the Lutherville Improvement Assosiation turned out Wednesday evening at the annual musicale and election of officers in the assembly hall of the Lutherville School. The Program arranged by the Ways and Means Committee was comprised of an unusually quaint and artistically rendered set of selections by Mrs. Clifton Davis, mezzo soprano, ably assisted by Mrs. Stephen Steinmueller at the piano, which, interspersed with addresses by S. Duncan Black, of the Towson Town Club; James F. Rafferty, of the Cocktysville Improvement Association and Walter Weisbrood, for the host association, provided a beneficial and pleasant evening. In the continuation of the regular monthly meeting recessed for the occasion a detailed report of the business of the Association for the past two years was submitted by Gustav M. Illmer, treasurer. Mr. Illmer's address, typically thorough and to the point, set forth the receipts and expenditures of the Association, its accomplishments in the construction and maintenance of village roads and general improve-Jail To Await Grand Jury Action, | ment, drew attention to the willingly given cooperation of both the ?? • ? :: < • I Your BRICK WORK is the main Attraction of Your Home.

Ward was trapped in the vicinity of the Hillen Road and Taylor Avenue at night, his capture resulting when the old theory that an amateur crook returns to the scene of his crime was applied. Carroll E. Stansbury, head of the county police department, decided the bandit was likely to try the trick again, so he dispatched three patrolmen to the scene in a closed car, parked near where the hold-ups occurred. Their vigil was rewarded when Ward was apprehended after a struggle. Ward was an employee of Eudo-wood Sanitarium, near Towson. REFUSES TO TALK. & P. Officials Non-Committal On Phone Rate Increase.

It was pointed out that while there was some criticism and complaint its source was usually never represented at the reguglar monthly meetings and that mistakes sometimes made could be lessened and the accomplishments aimed at by those assuming responsibility increased only through the full support of all those directly concerned by an exhibition of the civic pride and interest that should be naturally forthcoming from every property owner and resident. This spirit can be evidenced in no better way than by the small effort necessary to attend the regular monthly meetings held on the last Monday of each month at the hall adjoining the local fire engine house, The addresses of both Mr. Black and Mr. Rafferty were instructive and pleasant.
