- D.AR.WILL HONOR | COUNTY FOUNDERS| Ten Trees to Be Dedicated and Marked in Memory of First Commissioners. One hundred and forty-five years ago next Tuesday ten commissioners organized Montgomery county, Md., into a county government. To mark the date the Janet Montgomery Chap- ter, Daughters’of the American Revo- lution, will dedicate and mark ten stately trees around the courthouse at Rockville next Tuesday afternoon. |, The ten trees were registered with the American_Forestry Association today by Mrs. Frank Pelham Stone of Bethesda, regent of the Janet Mont- gomery Chapter. The markers designed for the trees are in the shape of a shield. A model inscription reads as follows: MEMORIAL TREE, Dedicated to NATHAN MAGRUDER, Commissioner, Montgomery County, Maryland, September 6, 1776. l By Janet Montgomery Chapter, I D. A R, eptember 6, 1921. There will be a marker for each of the other nine commissioners, who were: Zadok Magtuder. Allen Bowie, Thomas Cramphin, jr. John Willson, John Murdoch, Henry Griffith, Joseph Willson, James Perry and Richard | Wottea. < H “Many old-timers will be on hand for the program at 2:30 p.m.” said Mrs. Stone. “We hope to have a_de- scendant of each one of the ten com- missioners take part in our program.} People are coming from Baltimore. | Washington and places in Maryland for the ceremony. These trees will be Rockville’s hall of fame for the men Who organized our county govern- ment. We feel that we are particu- Jarly fortunate in our date, the one; hundred and forty-fifth anniversary of the organization of the county. Dedication of the trees as planned by the D. A. R. is the first “hall of fame” idea carried out in the east, according to the records of the Ameri- can Forestry Association. At Pasa- dena. Calif., & group of trees in a new park was recently dedicated to six, famous men of the Pacific coast. The, trees were set in a semi-circle and registered with the association as Pasadena’s hall of fame. PLANS HONOR-TO KIWANIS FRATERS OF BALTIMORE ‘Washington Club Discusses Recep- tion Next Thursday, With Inter- national President at Head. ans for the reception next Thurs- an,;r] of the Kiwanis Club of Balti- more, headed by Harry Carr, inter- national president of the organiza- tion, were discussed at length at the weekly meeting of the local Kiwanis Club at the Hotel Washington yes- terday afternoon. Claude Woodward, president, out- lined sveeral features that are to be presented for the first time, and many suggestions were offered by mem- bers, all of which will be considered by the commtitee in charge of the entertainment arrangements. Harry G. Kimball and Roe Fulker- son spoke on the importance of a full attendance of the local club at the forthcoming Kiwanis conven- tion at Norfolk, as it is the avowed intention f the many friends of John J. Boobar to elect the new first leu- tenant governor of the Capital Dis- trict of Kiwanis to the office of gov- ernor. After an extended trip through the south, Mr. Boobar returned to the city yesterday, and in a brief ad- dress thanked his fellow club mem- bers for the interest they were show- ing in his behalf. Delegations from both the Alexan- dria and Hagerstown Kiwanis Clubs will accompany the Washington club in the boat to the southern city. The party will leave here the night of September 29 and return to the city October 3. More than 300 passengers | 2re _expected to make the trip. Welcomed by W. W. Towson, Karl §. Jorss. Grady P. Oakley and Ben- Jamin McClosky were admitted to membership yesterday. _The organization was unable to de- cide whether Frank B. Willis of Lansing, Mich., was handsomer than O- M. Chamberlin, jr., of this city, so the prizes for the best and worst looking guest present were divided on a 50-50 basis.

Brown, at the memorial exercises held last Saturday at the tomb of Lafayette in Picpus ceme- tery, Paris, on the occasion of the visit of the delegation of the Ameri- can Legion, at which Marshal Foch was present. The Lafayette day national com- mittee is advised by the Lafaystte- Marne day committee of Philadelphia, Col. J. Campbell Gilmore, chairman, that arrangements have been com- pleted to celebrate Lafayette-Marne day at Independence Hall and also to join with the city of Paris in rais- ing the tVashington-Lafayette flag made in the Betsy Ross house at Phil- adelphia. The committee has heard from Ed- ward W. Quinn, mayor of Cambridge, Mass., and Walter H. Creamer, mayor of Lynn, Mass., that they will gladly issue proclamations for the observ- ance of the anniversary. -The com- mittee is also advised that Mayor Hy- xtnizn has the matter under considera- on. —_— Color schemes, suggested by an ex- pert as suitable for prisons, are pink for boy thieves, yellow or orange for convicts guilty of long-premeditated crimes and violet and black for bur- glars.

Roberts, superintendent of weights and mea ures, submitted to the Commissioners yesterday afternoon. +“No matter how diligent those charged | with tne enforcement of the law may be, vigilance on the part of purchasers is essential to the maintenance of accurate weights and measures,” said the super- intendent. Honest merchants do not object to it, but those disposed to be dishonest fear it.” Buying From Fgrmers. Maryland tnd Virginia farmers brought crops estimated at §2,000,000 in value to the Farmers' produce market at 10th and Louisiana avenue during the last fiscal year. Mr. Roberts said that while much of this farm produce was purchased by local retailers, he finds that there is a steady increase in the number of con- sumers who carry a basket direct to the farmers’ row and buy their goods. The superintendent told the Com- missioners it has been his policy not to institute prosecutions in cpurt ex- cept when careful investigation has convinced him that the weight and measure law has been violated. Dur- ing the last fiscal year there were fifty-nine cases taken into court, of which number fifty-four resulted in ‘| forfeiture of collateral amounting to $571. Referring to ice sales, the re- . | port reads: Ice Situation Improves. “The ice situation which has in pre- vious years given much trouble on ac- count of the inadequacy of the old law is in better shape than it has been for many years. The-provision of the new law requiring the weight of ice to be ascertained at the time of delivery has been very effctive in enforcement of full weight deliveries of ice. Most of the ice companies have displayed a cheerful willingness to observe the law, but considerable difficulty has been experienced with individual driv- ers and numerous prosecutions have been instituted under this provision Abe Martin Say “One fine thing about Gratuity Demands.
