In accordance with the recent act

$4,000, 900 feet Of timber in designated
areas along the right Of way OF the

eral miles through the Chugach ma

ployees are now marking the timber
to be cut-only mature trees, the re-

OF timber ever felled in the Alaskan
forests as a part OF one undertaking,
It will be nearly twice as large as the
total quantity Of timber now cut in the
national forests and annually put to
local uses throughout Alaska. but only
a little more than one-tenth Of the es'
timated annual growth of the Alaskan
forests. The two national forests OF
Alaska contain about $4,000, OOO. 900
feet OF merchantable timber. and the

For Road ImprOyement.

The Waynesboro Motor Club is now
making arrangements to petition the
State Highway Department of Pennsyl-
vania to take oyer the pike running from
a mile north of Emmitsburg through
Waynesboro, Greencastle and on to Mer-
cersburg. This pike is considerably
trveled by motorists and is infested with
tollgates. The road bed is in very bad
condition, especially over the mountain
from Emmitsburg to Rouzerville.
The committee appointed by the Way
nesboro Club will have petitions printed
and distributed along the road and en-
deavor to have same signed by every
landowner along the pike and also those
living a mile or so distant from it. These
petitions when completed will be pre-
sented to the Highway Department at

prohibition Or Bust"
DR.. Hare Says People Will
Accent No Compromise.

No compromise of any character what
ever in regard to the passage OF the pro-
hibition bill in the next Maryland Legls-
lature will be accepted or countenanced
by his people, says DIR. Thomas M. Hare
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League
of Maryland. =.
ut is prohibition or bust this time,
he declares. '"The day of compromise is
past, the compromser's chance is lost.
1t is on the straight proposition OF out
and-out prohibition for the entire state
of Maryland, most emphatically includ-
ing Baltimore city, that the fight Will
be made this time. And we will not
bother about constitutional amendments.
The bill to be submitted will provide for
prohibition by direct enactment, with the
referendum attached.
"All we are asking is to let the people
get chance to vote on the proposition,
and that is mighty hard one to sidestep
by those who profess to believe in gov
eminent by the people. The wise poll
tician knows, or soon learns, that the
people really run the Government In the
United States when they turn their mind
to it.
"A clear majority in each house of the
Legislature is pledged to the people, not
to the Anti-Saloon League or to ne, but
direct to the people, to support the bill
submitting Statewide prohibition to the
voters of Maryland. There Is no escap'
ing the issue by these maj>rities The
fight is clear cut.
CAS- to Mr.. Harrington. he is fine,
straightforward and honest man person.
ally, and also an astute politician, he
has said he would not obstruct the SUBJ
mission of the matter to the vote Of the
people, and we have no fear of getting
his signature to the bill after it is pass
ed.
"As to the Smith and Lee factions,
they do not concern US. Itmight be that
MIR. Lee is little bit drier than Smith.
But we don't waste our time hanging
around politicians The voters really
rule Maryland and we have concentrated
on the voters. So the politicians and the
machines will have to answer to the peo-
pie, and not to the Anti Saloon League.
And the people demand the right to vote
on prohibition. Deny them the right and
see what machines and politicians go on

CHARACTER TOLD BY HAND
Expert crlmlnoIooIsts Have by Direct
Tests Proved Their Theories to
Be Correct.

A French savant contends that the
murderer has a distinctive hand. His
face may net be hideous, but the hands
always are, and self-condemnatory.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty, and rests upon the inves-
legations of the French criminolo-
gists; but as to the former it Is q
fact that some of the most brutal MUIR
ders on record have been perpetrated
by men whose countenances habitu-
ally wore a very mild expression.
Deeming was pleasant man to speak
to until crossed; but some OF the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer, The true ball-headed
thumb gives to the first phalange q
round, Dubious appearance. 1t Is

as to suggest that 1t has been gnawed.

namely, the almost entire absence OF

NANCY interprets this to foretell
a violent death, His fingers were

murderer's hand are: Firstly, the

ONE SIDED-IF TRUE.

The Postoflice Department, recog-
nizing the fact that Postmasters fire.
quently put mail matter in the wrong
boxes, is reported to have fixed a
penalty of $500 on persons who take
the mail of another whether letters
or newspapers--from the postohice,
and not returning it Immediately.
Patrons are, therefore, responsible
for the careless postmaster, likely on
the assumption that because he makes
a mistake, the patron has no right to
make another; but why one should
be fined, and not the other, is hard
to figure out. Placing the fine on
the accessory and letting the principal
60 free is a new plan for administer
ing justice.

Another Freight Car Robbed.

The robbing of freight cars while the
same is being hauled over the W. M.

vice versa, has, in way. become thing
to be expected.
Thursday night of last week big haul
was made, box car filed with cases of
shoes being broken into while the car
was standing on the siding at Highfied.
While the freight train was coming down
the mountain boxes were rolled out of
the car and it is thought they were haul
ed away in an automobile. The car was
destined for New York city.
The same night three mask ed men held

PROTECT YOUR EYES AT MOVIES

PROTECT YOUR EYES AT MOVIES
The progress made in the character
of subjects presented in the movies
today makes it desirable for all in
quiring people to at least attend oc-
casionally. Annoying after effects
on the eyes of many prevent them
from enjoying the social diversion
and often the educational advantages
thus derived.
The great majority of those who
suffer from eye strain after watching
moving pictures can find much, if
not complete, relief in perfectly fitted
glasses. The picture may not be
quite SO sharp, but this is more than
compensated for by the increased
comfort. For those with very sensi-
tive eyes, a colored glass, either am
Der, yellowish green or amethyst may
be necessary to give complete relief.
There have been put on the market
recently several varieties of colored
glass, each of which has some adj
vantages, SO that some suitable color
can usually e secure! |.
A subdued light in the theatre is
much less irritating than when the
only light visible comes from the
screen. 1t is also advisable to void
sitting in place where it is necessary
to look upward, as the additional
strain becomes very tiresome, and
frequently leaves headache. -Ex.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1918.
A Light Subject.

Frederick is going through its quad
renniel spasm on the subject of
larger Municipal Lighting Plant
Papers are giving a very full account
of proposition submitted to the
Mayor and Board Of Aldermen thro'
Mr.. Joseph D. Baker, OF that city,
who seems to be the one greatly in
terested in having the city actively
take up the question.
This report is the outgrowth OF
letter heretofore written by Mr.. Baker
to the Board of Aldermen on the
same subject nearly six months ago.
We have had some experience here
with municipal light plant costs, and
we very plainly recollect that we were
going to have one that would not
cost over O,OOO, but before we got
through with it the cost was upwards
of $22 900. Frederick's expericnc"
will doubtless be very similar, and
instead of cost of slightly over
500, 900 for new plant such as has
been proposed, it will more nearly
approximate 100000.
Just where a Municipal Lighting
Plant is such big "cinch' for the
taxpayers we are unable to see.
Everybody does not use electricity,
not even in Thurmont. and certainly
the burden of the cost of such plant
is not properly chargeable to the non
users even if the consumers may get
their current at reasonable rate.
Frederick, from it's size, has approx
mately $500 families who consume
electricity, gas or coal oil; about 500
of these use electricity. Ii there is
going to be a very material reduction
on current, as this report alleges,
what benefit will it be to the 100
families land these 100 families con-
stitutes very large basis of the tax
paying element, no doubt who do
not use it?
Frederick is blessed CD with a very
large bonded indebtedness of $780,
600, and she has had more or less
trouble in floating a bond issue to re-
pair her Water System, which system
is a direct benefit to every man,
woman and child in Frederick. Just
how she proposes to raise this several
hundred thousand dollar electric
plant cost is a question, as there is
no doubt that the taxpayers of that
town will hardly recommend this adj
ditional burden to their already high
tax rate.
The report submitted attempts to
show that the progress of Hagerstown
over Frederick is caused largely by
the Municipal Lighting Plant. Any
one conversant with the histories of
both towns know that this is a catch
penny" argument, Hagerstown is
very much larger railroad center,
which is decided advantage, while
Frederick with her high tax rate is
deterrent to industrial development.
The writer of this article is the
owner of real estate in Frederick,
and it already costs him more taxes
on the 800 on property in that town
than if the same was located in Bal
timore, Philadelphia, or New York,
and with an additional bond issue
increasing the tax rate, we will have
For Sale" sign on this property
