Maryland Anti-saloon League Favors

Maryland Anti-saloon League Favors
Nationwide Prohibition.
The headquarters committe of the
Anti-saloon League has declared in
favor of nationwide prohibition. In
the last number of the American Is
sue the committee says: '"The battle
for statewide prohibition should be
Immediately reopened and pushed
with great vigor until the aim de-
sired is fully accomplished.
1--WE believe that a satisfactory So
luton of the whole problem can be
obtained only through national pro-
hibition. The results as recorded by
the elections held in numerous states
on November demonstrate clearly
that the trend of public opinion is
toward the absolute prohibition OF
the beverage liquor traffic. There
fore, we believe that Maryland
should be so organized that her legls
lature will be ready to ratify ma
tional prohibition as quickly as Con
gress submits the question to the
states, and to this end the head
quarters committee recommends
that an aggressive campaign OF
agitation and organization be al
once inaugurated.

Highway Signs.

The present system OF sign boards or
cross roads and turns is far from salts
factory Some of them are good but
many places are not marked and Others
are not very clear.
A plan has been suggested OF painting
poles along certain routes distinctive
color or combination of colors On
straight u ways il would be necessary
to designate the route only every hall
mile or thereabouts Suppose the main
highway from Bennington to st. Adams
was designated with red stripe around
the poles. Then all tourist would have
to do would be to follow the red stripes.
Then for the cross roads from Burling-
ton to St Johnsbury could be designated
by green and white stripe From Rut-
land to Bellows Falls yellow and blue
stripe would clearly point the way.
Only recently a marked improvement
for safety first" was carried out by
clearly marking the approach to grade
railroad crossings. The interest OF the
tourist would be further advanced by
clearly indicating routes between the
cities and large towns Of the state by
painting stripes on the poles along those
routes Of distinctive Burlington

PREPARING VERM0NT'S APPLE

+! Of South Royalton should not have dis
eouraged Vermont growers by saying at
the New England fruit show in Montpe-

to say that one needs careful instruction
before attempting to pack apples in boxes
for the discriminating buyer? That hap
hazard packing in a box is no better than
throwing them into barrel? Surely
the knaek Of packing apples in boxes
can be acquired by Vermont people pro-

thing for the whole state If the depart
ment OF agriculture, or some OF the agen-
cies closely allied with it, should insti-
tute schools for instruction OF apple
growers in the best methods OF preparing
their product for the city market Not
only would the benefit acquired there
from greatly increase the annual revenue
from the apple crop but it would develop
prestige for Vermont apples that would
soon eclipse the reputation Of the Oregon
product. In that case there would be
constant demand which would exhaust
the supply each year and at top-notch
prices, too. Why not instruct the apple
growers rather than to give them the inn
preston that the art Of apple packing in
boxes is denied to all but few?

Young Gold and Silver Veins.

Ore deposits ranging in age from the
time when the most complex living thing
on earth was crablike creature down
to the time when mammals were highly
developed have been found in the Unit.
ed States. Among the young deposits is
IA group known to biologists as the late
Tertiary veins. These veins are wide
ly distributed and are of particular in
terest not only because they have given
rise to famous mining camps such as
Tonopah, Goldfield, and Comstock, but
because, owing to their comparative
youth, the surface on which they crop
out is not greatly below that which ex
listed at the time of their origin. Thus
by considering the surface conditions
and by laboratory experiments the phe-
nomena they present can be interpreted
more accurately than those of older de-
posts which are at greater depths and
are more deeply cut by erosion. Many
Of the late Tertiary veins in this country,
all inelosed in lava rocks or closely as
sociated with them, are found in Ne

posts OF this type have recently been de
