NJ axe Own TOYS

LONDON, Sept. 24.JAs a result
of the war the British Toy asso-
ciation-a voluntary institution
is being formed. The objects are
to organize and foster the maxi
ing of wooden toys in the homes
of the people, especially in the
rural districts. This method has
been adopted throughout the
Black Forest districts of Germany
for many years with conspicuous
success. and over 80 per cent of
the wooden toys sold in the
world come from Germany.

CHAPTER X

I had hardly ridden a hundred
PAGES down the promenade when
was aware of the tread behind
me of a horse coming ON at a
round trot.
"Ah, how are you. Martha? I
am pleased to meet you here"
1t was Conrad-the inevitable
was not at all pleased at this
meeting. However, the Prater
was certainly not my private park
and on such a beautiful spring
morning the ride is always full.
How could | have been so foolish
as to reckone on an undisturbed
rendezvous here. Althaus had
made his horse follow the pace of
mine. and settled himself evident
Iy to be my faithful attendant in
my ride. At this time l perceived
Frederick v. Filling at a distance,
who was galloping down the ride
In our direction.
"Cousini you are my good ally,
are you not? You know that l
take all possible trouble to dis
pose Lilly in your favor?"
Yes. my noblest of cousins"
"Only yesterday evening l was
again Wanting your good quail
ties, for you are really grand
= young fellow-pleasant. discreet
Whatever do you want with
me?"
Just to give your horse the
spur and ride off,"
Tilling was by this time quite
near. Conrad looked first at him,
then at me, and, without speak
ing a word. nodded at me with a
smile. and went off as if he was
flying for his life.
This Althaus again." were
Things first words after he had
turned round, SO as to ride on by
my side. In his tone and his
manner Jealousy was plainly ex-
pressed

COPENHAGEN, Sept. "a
Mines dashed to planks and small
boats have been seen floating in
the middle of the North Sea.
They were reported by captains
of Norwegian ships arriving at
this port. The surface mines are
far more dangerous than those
hidden beneath the surface, it is
believed, as they are so well dis
guised as not to be suspected.

ENGINE TEST a
SUCCESS.

The very interesting test, made by
the State Roads Commission in eauiping
traction engiuge with smooth steel
bands around the cleated wheels. and
sending it over the State road from
Cumberland to Frederick drawing about
eight or ten tons behind it, came to an
end in this city today.
The test has been under the personal
supervision of MIR. Zouch. a member Of
the State Road Commission. The OBJ
ject was TO demonstrate the practicability
of drawing heavy loads by traction en-
gines thus equipped to avoid damage to
the fine roads recently built throughout
the State. Millions of dollars have been
spent on our roads, and it looks as if the
Commission has demonstrated beyond
question that traction engines NOWADAYS
need not have cleated wheels. and can
pull all the load that IS required with the
same facility as with the cleated wheels.
This seems to BE the opinion Of all who
saw the outfit on Patrick street Yesterday
morning when il came it, and many ex-
pressed themselves as perfectly satisfied
with the proposition. One practical far
mer suggested that the bands have eoun
ter eleats on the inside 10 allow for the
depression between the elezts on the
wheels, thus reducing 10 minimum the
chance Of injuring the bands. However.
this it but detail, and can be straight
enei cut later on.
The Commission say that the expense
OF equlpping traction engine with these
bands would be nominal, and altogether
new epoch has been started in agricul-
tural lines in this regard. Farmers
must have their wheat threshed. and the
only way it can be done is TO have the
threshing machines visit their premises.
Naturally roads must be used over which
TO haul the traction machines, and trac-
tion engines are necessary to furnish
power. and hence they must be used to
draw the machines.
There is law on the statue books of
Maryland which forbids traction engines
with cleated wheels from going over our
State roads, because Of the injury they
must do TO them. With the new ap-
plianee on the wheels of the traction en-
gine, it certainly seems that all trouble
will be avoided in the future, and that
for modest outlay owners of traction
engines can have them equipped so that
they can go over our roads with impu-
nifty, and without fear of the breaking OF
any statutory law.

sss ACCIDENTS IN MONTH

The State Industrial Accident Com
mission Monday night closed the first
month of its actual operations with
reports of 9SS accidents on its files,
and started upon its second month
with s6 additional reports turned in
yesterday morning.
Out OF the total number of acci-
dents so far reported, only IS claims
for compensation have been received.
Four OF these came in yesterday
morning. Awards are not allowed un-
til the person injured has been inca
pacitated for more than two weeks,
hence the probabilities are that other
claims upon accidents occurring in
November will yet come in.
Monday afternoon the commission
made the first award it has allowed.
Edward B. Margareth, employed by
William Lanahan & Son, secured it.
His compensation will be s5 a week.

tended to impress the public with the
railroad 5 dire financial needs, has now
just the opposite effect.
Not so long ago the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in an opinion. sug-
gested that it might be appropriate for
the railroad companies to slightly in
crease their passenger rates on interstate
business, and also recommended slight
increase. in freight rates here and there.
Promptly upon receipt of this informal
tion, the railroads proceeded most iber
ally, from their standpoint, to adjust
every commutation ticket along the
lines, aud along with this, reduced their
forces wherever it was possible to do SO,
even to the detriment of their service to
the public. We have no hesitancy in
saying that this is a very dangerous pol
icy with regard TO the travelling public,
and a very unwise one in regard to the
financial status of the railroads them
selves. The prosperity and well-being
of any community depends upon the
service of its railroads and other public
service corporations. Frederick, handi-
capped by its geographical situation,
needs even more consideration from the
above concerns, and We think it is about
time to make this fact known to them.

any other matters along these lines, and

Millions OF oranges and great
quantities of other fruits are rotting
in the Bahamas, says Bishop Honby,
who has just returned from the
Islands. and his regret that the peo-
pie OF the United States are unable
to get the wasted products of the soil
doubtless viii be shared by Ameri-
can consumers.
But the loss OF fruit is not con-
fined TO tropical countries. While the
waste in the United States may not
be proportionately as great as in the
Bahamas. it is excessive. An made
quate system Of distribution prohib-
its the advantageous marketing of
agricultural products. People in the
cities are paying high prices when
apples are rotting on the ground" :"
and the owners of peach orhards
complain that they cannot find men
TO pick peaches when the retail price
is Is or 20 cents a quart. These
statements are made year after year,
and similar stories are told of other
food supplies which never reach the
buyer at retail.
The people should have the fruit
from the Bahamas and other islands,
as Bishop Honby says. and they
should be able also to get the prod
ucts Of American farmers. There is
a great opportunity for the conser-
vation of natural resources at home
as well as abroad.-Providence Jour-

WILL REVEAL VALUATION.
New War Tax Law Will Assist Assess


The custom which has prevailed in
this county, as well as elsewhere in
not setting forth the true considera-
ton in the transfer of real estate, is
about to come to an end with the ap-
plication of the new internal revenue
law. Scarcely a deed for the convey
ance of real estate contains the true
consideration, only nominal amount
being named, together with "other
valuable considerations" and those
who desire to know something about
the real value of the property convey
ed are left to conjecture. Especially
is this true when it comes to prop
er assessment of the property for tax
able purposes; the assessing officers
are left entirely in the dark and
much property undoubtedly goes on
the tax books way below its real
value, or below what the property
commanded in an exchange of owner
ship.
The new revenue tax law, as before
stated in these columns, requires that
so cents be paid on all deeds of trans
fers of property where the considera-
ton is between 500 and $500, and for
every additional $500 or fractional
part thereof an additional so cents.
This provides for giving the true con-
sideration, although not in express
terms Hereafter, even though the
deed should not recite the full consid-
Grafton. it will be necessary to attach
the required amount Of revenue
stamps, and thereby a knowledge will
be had of what was actually paid for
the property when change Of owner
ship takes place.
This will greatly assist in prope@
assessment of property. 1t will enable
the county commissioners and othe"
taxing officers to learn from an auth
oritative and official source the act
ual price at which property is bought
and sold, and they will be able to that
extent to arrive at proper value for
assessment.

THE RAILROADS MUST BE
FAIR TO THE PUBLIC.

The business men of Frederick are up
in arms, and Justly 50, over the rank dis
elimination against them practieed by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in tax
ing off the early mail train in the sched-
ule thar was adopted last Sunday The
Winchester train, arriving here about
eight o clock. brings in the pouches that
used to come an hour OF 50 earlier. and
hardly gives an opportunity for distTibu-
ton at the pos;ofioe in time to serve the
hanks and o;her places Of business which
- greatly depend upon clearing their
desks of les,e-S toE the general business
day. In some Gases it works decided
business damage, and 10 doubt the al
tention of those who have this matter
under Their oonuol viii be called at an
early date to this state Of affairs. 1t
would seem to our minds thai either the
Interstate Commerce Commission or the
Public Service Commission Of Maryland
would be the proper sources to appeal to
for remedy. Whilst We know We are
looked upon as way station by railroads
and other biz corporations, and our physi-
cal situation gives them every reason to
think this of US, We have certain rights
which they must respect, and which We,
if we are wise, will bring to their atten
ton at once. We have Board or
Trade here, which is composed of our
leading business men, and it would ap-
pear that this body should take prompt
action in this matter. The railroads of
the country, who have been under a
rapid fire of investigation for some time,
have great many peoples sympathies
with them in their efforts to have lust
aud equitable rates both for freight and
passengers, but We question very much
if this sympathy will still remain if the
railroads cut off their public service
accommodations without regard to the
interests of the public which they serve.
The railroads exist by favor Of the
people, and whilst they have heretofore
been their masters, the change is rap
idly taking place where they must give
fur treatment in exchange for the peo
PIES business. Right in our own sec
ton a railroad company has reduced its
forge of workers who keep the tracks in
good condition and also attend the gen.
eral maintenance of way Anyone rid
ing over this road can see evidences of
this false economy, which if it is in.
