Generally.

Where the title of an act states that it is an act to "Repeal and Re-enact
with Amendments" a certain article and section of the code and gives the
number thereof, such title is sufficient. Lankford v. Somerset County, 73
Md. 107; Worcester County v. School Commissioners, 113 Md. 307; Kingan
Assn. v. Lloyd, 110 Md. 624; Barren v. Smith, 108 Md. 326; Himmel v.
Eichengreen, 107 Md. 613; Miller v. Wicomico County, 107 Md. 444; State
v. German Savings Bank, 103 Md. 201; Garrison v. Hill, 81 Md. 555; Dren-
nen v. Banks, 80 Md. 317; Ruggles v. State, 120 Md. 564.

Where the title of an act is "To Amend Article 95 of the Code by Adding
an Additional Section Thereto," and when the new section is strictly ger-
mane to the subject embraced in that article, the title Is sufficient. 2nd
Ger. Am. Bldg. Assn. v. Newman, 50 Md. 65. And see State v. Norris, 70
Md. 95.

The title of the act of 1898, chapter 206, repealing-and re-enacting cer-
tain sections of article 99 of the code, title "Wild Fowl, Birds and Game,"
and adding certain additional sections thereto, held sufficient. Stevens v.
State, 89 Md. 675.

Where the title of an act calls for the regulation of the employment of
children, the fact that the body of the act prohibits the employment of
children under a certain age except under certain circumstances, does not
render the law invalid; nor is an act invalid because the repeal of another
act with a defective title is provided for in its title; nor because the act
excepts certain counties while its title indicates that it applies to the whole
state. The title of the act of 1902, chapter 566, regulating the employment
of children, held sufficient. Mt. Vernon Co. v. Frankfort Co., 111 Md. 561.

Where the title of an act sufficiently describes its subject but concludes
with an additional description which correctly applies to only a portion
of the act, the title is sufficient. The title of the act of 1908, chapter 635,
amending the law relative to "Public Education," held sufficient. Worces-
ter County v. School Commissioners, 113 Md. 305.

The title of the act of 1912, chapter 117, providing a new method of con-
demnation, held sufficient. Rldgely v. Baltimore, 119 Md. 572.

A law requiring vendors of beer manufactured by themselves to take
out licenses, may be validly enacted under the title "An Act to Raise Addi-
tional Revenue to Pay the Debts of the State by Increasing the Rates of
Licenses to Ordinary Keepers and Traders." Keller v. State, 11 Md. 531.

The title of the act of 1878, chapter 159, which was in substance as fol-
