He had served in the house of delegates for several vears. He was identified with the williary of the state and was considered one of the best soldiers in the service. He was too old for the world war and was retired with the rank of having educated and equipped him- selt for that profession and was un- usually successful. WOMEN NAME CONSTABLE. Spevinl Dispatch to The Star.

This would apply particularly to persons having summer homes in the state, he said, and to per- sons maintaining houses both in Maryland and the District. The basis for his opinion, he stated, is that automobile reci- procity with surrounding states allows automobiles from these states to rematn in Maryland only three months without obtaining Maryland tags, and the same ap- plies to Maryland cars in those states. Companies dolng a trucking business betwcen Baltimore and Washington also must obtain Maryland Jicenses if they main- tain a Baltimore ofiice, even though thelr main office may be in Washington, Mr. Mackall asserted.
