INCREASE IN TAXATION
PROTESTED BY CITIZENS
Hyattsville Council Considers New

Special Correspondence of The star.

Special Correspondence of The star.
HYATTSNILLE. Md, June 26-The
common council met Wednesday night
in the municipal building, sitting as a
board of revision and review on the
recent general assessment of property
within the corporate limits. AS the re-
suit of an increase of about SG3.0o0
over last year there We're a number of
objections. and these will be consid-
cred at future meeting of the coun-
ell Mayor Edward Devlin announced
that a meeting of the citizens would
be held Tuesday evening to consider
the propriety and advisability of in
creasing the tax rate 10 cents on the
800, or from 10 to 80 cents. The lat
ter rate is authorized by the town
charter. but the limit has never been
imposed. The proposed increase Will
mean about $1,000 additional revenue,
and Mayor Devlin stated that this
amount is necessary in order to meet
current expenses
Protest Is Expected.
There is certain to be vigorous pro-
test on the part of the citizens to the
increase, especially in view of the in
crease in the assessment on practically
all of the property in the town. A de-
tailed statement of the towns finan-
cial condition is to be made public this
week, and Mayor Devlin stated that in
order that the citizens should be accu-
rately advised as to conditions he
hoped every taxpayer and resident
would read the statement.
For the second time within the past
three months the matter of granting a
permit to the Standard Oil Company
for the erection of an oil tank and
stables alongside the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad south of Columbia ave
nue. was before the council. Petitions
for and against the granting of the
permit were filed. The council by a
vote of ) to ,, refused to grant the
permit. and it is probable that another
aupiication will be filed asking for the
tank to be located about 200 feet south
OF the rejected site.

simple mindedness if we professed in
liability TO understand. SO it is with
the cause Of the record breaking
rainfall in the United States, q cause
which has been proved in experience.
Artillery Fire Helps.
you remember that the great war
In Europe began August Of last
year. The rains in the United
States began in September OF last
year and there has scarcely been
week in which We did not have
large amount Of precipitation in some
parts of this country. The war in
Europe has been principally an ar
tillery duel from the start While
there have been millions Of tons Of
explosives expended by the infantry,
the most violent atmospheric disturb
ance is caused by the heavy discharge
Of the great guns Of the armies en-
gnged in the struggle. These ex-
plosives created, inevitably and neces-
sarily, a violent disturbance of atmo-
spheric conditions and were dis
charged from the ground level and
exploded at the ground level Thus
every strata Of atmosphere for an
elevation Of more than five thousand
feet, as nearly as may be reckoned
was penetrated and thrown out Of
Joint
I'VE all know that sound waves
travel immeasurable distances That
statement is immemorlaly true and
reaches back to the code of the Chal.
deans, who worshipped deity long
before the dawn Of the Christian era.
The Chaldeans had a theory that
sound constantly repeated for a week
or q month would eventually pene-
trate all the air strata and through
force Of repetition gather such
strength that It would eventually
reach the throne Of the deity, and
with such force that 1t would give
him intense pain in the ears and head
and cause him 10 grant any request
that the petitioners might make. The
distance which sound waves may
travel without appreciable loss OF in
tensity and dynamic force is ques-
tionable. never having been satisfac-
torily determined by any scientific
body in the world, because they are
created by so many diverse agencies,
such as the human voice, the rifle, the
gun, the locomotive and the automo-
bile No two series or specles Of
sound waves are alike Therefore.
the practical impossibility Of deter
mining with eXactness the mileage of
any particular sound wave is diff
cult. But we have demonstrated that
the discharge Of a big gun will jar
the earth for miles, giving a sort OF
earthquake effect, and that sound
waves caused by the explosion Of the
projectile will travel thousands Of
miles and retain the major portion OF
their intensity and efficiency
Sound Travels Slowly.

The Little Red Ants You Find in
Your Yards Do Very Little Damage
and Can Be Gotten Rid of Easily

frequently noted on roses and other
ornamental and garden plants. As a
matter Of fact, 1t is not the plants that
attract the ants but plant lice. These
tiny creatures eXCrete q sweet liquid
Of which ants are very fond and which
they collect without injuring the
plant lice. For this reason plant lice
are frequently termed "ant cows"
The analogy is emphasized by the fact
that ants have been known to take
plant lice into their nests, shelter
them through the winter, and return
them to suitable plants in the spring,
very much as men are accustomed to
feed and shelter COWS through the
winter, putting them on pasture with
the coming Of spring.
The ants enter houses very rarely
and on the whole, may be said TO do
no harm of any kind except insofar
as they lessen the attractive appear
ance Of the lawn. On the other hand,
1t Is quite possible that by bringing
up from the lower depths sand and
earth they may distinctly increase fer
tility by forming a top dressing or
soil mulch and at the same time per-
nit better aeration of the earth.

floods which they cause. 1t Is my
opinion, and this can be verified by
any layman. that 1t requires at least
ten days for sound waves caused by
an artillery duel at Ypres, for in
stance, to reach the eastern coast Of
the United States and thirteen days
for them to reach the middle west
and two weeks TO make their effect
felt on the Pacific coast. They seem
TO lose their vitality or a great por-
ton of II when they get to tho coast.
In fact observations tend to the be-
lief that much Of their efficiency Is
spent before they cross the Sierra
Nevada That accounts for the de-
crease in the amount of precipitation
west Of those mountains. II must be
borne in mind also that the Sierra
Nevada acts as sort of barrier or
break.
We all know that rainfall is pri-
marily caused by the collision Of two
water charged clouds, the impact
breaking the partition of humid air
which had kept them apart. SO when

nonading of the European armies

generally throughout western America
and middle Africa. there Is instant
precipitation. That central Africa is
affected in less degree perhaps than
the United States but still visibly af-
fected is shown in the reports that for
the first time In generation there
have been copious rainfalls in the re-
giou bordering on Sahara and even
in portions of that great desert itself.
The same statement is true Of the
desert of Gobi and the hitherto bar
rem and unproducuve sections of Rus
sia lying north OF the Black sea
Thus 1t is" concluded Sir Cecil,
chat although the war is a frightful
and a devastating thing to the coun-
tries engaged in it. it is at the same
time in the nature of a blessing TO all
tho arid sections of the earth causing
the trees TO burgeon and bear fruit
where none was had before, causing
the withered grass to spring into life
again and the flowers TO hold up their
heads and rejoice"
