DUKE OF A0STA NAY
SUCCEED CONSTANTINE
Allies May Gust Greek Ruler In
Favor Of Cousin Of italian
King, Victor Emmanuel.

The Duke of Aosta, whom, it was
said, the allies had determined to place
on the Greek throne instead Of King
Constantine, comes Of family OF
kings. Victor Emmanuel II. of Italy
was his grandfather, Humbert l. OF
Italy was his uncle and Victor En-.
manuel Ill, the present Italian ruler,
is his first cousin. His father, Amedeo,
Duke of Aosta, became by electiOn-for
a short and stormy season-the king OF
Spain. r
For a number Of years the dazzling
vision of the Italian throne itself was
held before the dukes eyes. While
his cousin, the present Italian mon,
arch, was still the prince of Naples his
health became so impaired that the
duke was looked upon by Italy as the
heir presumptive to the throne.
That this alluring hope came to
;naught was a bitter disappointment to
the Duchess Of Aosta, it has always
been said in Europe. The duchess was
Helene of Orleans, daughter of the late
Count of Paris, and was one Of the
most beautiful women of the European
nobility. Her wedding to the duke
took place in England twenty-five
years ago, at a time when his pros
poets for kingdom appeared the most
happy.
In the present war the duke has
proved himself an intrepid general.
He has two sons.

about |,| EFFICIENCY :| l
lust What It May Mean In the
Fl Home.
SAVING Of HUMAN EFFORT.

An Expert Discusses How Housewives
May Throw Off Cumbersome Ways Of
Doing Housswork and Substitute .
System That Helps Carry the Burden.
We have talked so much about eff
cheney that it might be well to stop a
moment and consider what is the
meaning of It's opposite, inefaciency.
Probably the best and simplest one
word definition of efficiency is conser-
walton. Likewise, we may sum up in
efficiency in the simple word waste"
Yes, ineficiency means waste, either
in a process Of work, the materials
with which the work is done or with
the worker. The great problem Of eff
cheney, therefore, is to reduce or elimi-
nate the amount Of waste in any Of
these three lines. It is unfortunate II
there is waste in materials.
Waste in individual effort is what
we are most concerned about, especial
~ in regard to the effort Of the home
maker. If there is waste, for instance,
in the food used in the home, or If
there is waste in the method which she
uses at work, we regret 1t, but we are
most sorry when she herself wastes her
own effort so that she herself is de-
prived of necessary energy.
In fact, all our efforts are finally
aimed to benefit the human worker. If
We tell woman to raise her sink or If
we show her how to market economic
ally we are doing so only that her per-
sonal effort shall be diminished. Some
women write that they feel that this
efficiency idea would be an added
burden on top of their present work;
that it would be harder to impose new
schedules and new plans than to 60 on
with what they are now doing.
Efficiency does not in any way mean
added effort. It means simply elimina-
ton or cutting down of present faults.
For instance, the other day woman
announced, IF this efficiency idea of
yours means lot Of expensive uten-
sis I'm not going to have anything to
do with it, Or another writes, "You
don't mean that l should add COM
plicated system of work to my present
duties" On the contrary, it is meant
that both these women and others
should merely sit down and study how
at present there may be waste in their
management. They do not need to add
cumbersome system or dozen pots
in order to be efficient. They need
only see how they work now, see what
amount of materials they use now, no
tice what waste motion or effort there
is at present in various tasks or rou
tines and then merely eliminate some
of this unnecessary work, this waste
motion and this superfuous effort.
If a woman once gets firmly fixed In
her mind that efficiency means the
elimination of waste she has the key
to this whole new, stimulating idea. 1t
may be a waste in her food supplies, in
the fuel she is using, a waste Of time
between various tasks, a waste of ef-
fort walking twenty feet unnecessarily.
but somehow somewhere there will be
waste. Then If she cuts down this
waste in whatever department she
finds it, in whatever task or routine
she is in at the time, she will become
off cient ~

Tho Penknifo,

Everybody knows that penknife Is
no longer a penknife. In the days Of
the squeaky quill pen, before the in
PRODUCTION of steel pen points, the pen
knife was used for the purpose of trim
ming the quill and keeping it in good
writing order. 1t was made with a
folding blade, so that it could be carried
around in the pocket, where it would
be easily found whenever needed.

ANOTHER MENACE
TO OCEAN A TRAVEL Y
Not U Boats, Floating Mines
Or Raiders.
IT IS THE RAG SCARCITY

II o.. 49,.
chartmakers Lack Particular Quality
of Rags That Go Into Making Of
Maps-Navigators Must Have Them
to Guide Their Vessels In Teacher
Gus Waters.
Every one knows that the scarcity of
paper is handicapping the dissemina-
ton of news, but how many know that
the same scarcity is actually a source
Of peril to navigation? Yet conditions
have come to such pass that DR.. d.
Lester Jones, superintendent of the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey, has called attention to the gravity
of the matter. -,
The world war has stimulated and
brought about changes in the shipping
trade. The navigator has to have
charts, and as things have developed
shippers are calling for more and more
of these photographic guides. . e..
All Want Latest Charts. =
They want charts of places widely
separated and Of approaches to ports
that formerly were only infrequently
visited. This is because there are
fewer ocean freighters in general traf-
&c, and they must therefore 60 dodg-
ing about the seven seas in their we'll
nigh ceaseless activities. A captain
bound for an unfamiliar destination in
sists upon the most accurate charts he
can get, and he is not content unless
they bear the stamp Of governmental
authority.
Heretofore the foreign navigator has
depended mainly on Europeon charts.
but the supply Of these is naturally
very much limited today. The coast
and geodetic survey and the United
States photographic Office are the
principal sources from which ships
leaving American ports can now get
charts. But the demand is far in ex-
cess of the supply, and this state OF
affairs is likely to become worse if
more paper is not soon available for
the printing of charts. During the past
year the increased demand for charts
by shipping and by our navy depart
ment has amounted to a total of 10000
charts, while the entire distribution
has reached q figure of nearly 1854 O0
Exaetness Required.
Z Just what the printing of chart
means is not understood by the av-
erage layman. Exactness and precision
are required at every step.
Each chart is put through the press
from two to five times, and the gen
eral average is three runs. First comes
the black plate; then the buoy plate,
by which the buoys are colored; next
follows the tint plate, which distin,
cuisines the land areas from the water
areas, and Oh certain charts blue and
yellow tints are employed for purposes
of added definition.
During the fiscal year ended with
June last the coast and geodetic sur
vey bought 75,949 pounds of chart pa
per, and then paid 16 cents a pound
for it The price has mounted great
deal higher in the meantime. This
governmental outlay is promptly re-
paid, because the charts are sold at a
price that covers the cost of paper and
printing. : .-l
How many have ever realized that
the safety of the mariner and others
on shipboard depended largely upon
an abundance Of rags! Such, however.
ia, a fact.

TO IMPROVE FARMS
PRESIDENT GRAY CALLS ATTENTION TO
COURSES AT STATE COLLEGE OF
AGRICULTURE.

An important step in the direction
of arousing interest in increased farm
development in Maryland has been
taken by President Carl r. Gray, of
the Western Maryland Railway Com
pany, who, on his own initiative, has
issued pamphlet calling especial at
tentlon to the short winter courses at
the Maryland State College Of Agri-
culture and pointing out the oppor-
tunltles for getting greater yields out
of the rich Maryland lands. Mr.. Gray
is a member of the board Of directors
of the agricultural college, and, as
such, is evincing keen interest in all
matters pertaining to agriculture
The chief executive of the Western
Maryland realizes, and that fully, that
a greater and more intensified deVel-
Opment of the soil will be one of the
most important contributing factors
in creating permanent prosperity for
the people of Maryland Mr.. Gray's
own line traverses a fertile agricul-
tural section, which is especially we'll
suited to truck and orchard farming.
With the view to stimulating the
interest of farmers and their families
along the route of the Western Mary
land, President Gray is having widely
distributed his pamphlet containing
facts about the State college and
about the possibilities for profitable
farming in the State.
Some of the pertinent statements
mentioned in the booklet are that the
net return from Marylands $4,000
farms should be doubled and that the
States yield of corn could be increas-
| nH ho tI,Ir riTysy,
the farmers nearly $4,000, more a
year.
One pint of milk a COW a day, it is
explained, would give the dairymen
over $1,000,000 more for their labor
each year. Unused hill land could be
turned into pastures that would feed
at least a half million sheep.
Maryland" says the pamphlet,
can be made the greatest fruit State
in the East Land suitable for orch
ard fruits now valued at $40 TO $50 an
acre can be made worth $3.50 to 5000
an acre.
Maryland's soils, climate and 1oca-
tion are exceptionally we'll fitted for
growing food for man. She has TO-
000,0 consumers in the cities and
towns located at her doors.
The consumers should pay less for
food and the producers get more for
their products than at present Co.
operation between buyer and seller
will make this possible. More profit
in farming will attract settlers and
increase land values.
The water power that is going to
waste on thousands of Maryland
farms should be harnessed and made
to tighten and do much of the farm
labor. Her 100000 growing boys and
girls are entitled to as good educa-
tional advantages as other states pro-
vide for their children. They should
be trained to make the most of these
| possibilities"

Wilson Oldest President i'm Sixty
Years,

Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Wilson is the oldest Executive to
preside over the destinies of the United
States for the last so years. When he
is inaugurated for the second time
March 5, he will be sixty years old, a
span of year that no President has
crossed since the Inauguration of
Buchanan in 1857.
incidentally the President is one of
the six oldest Executives ever In the
White House. Previous to 1861 the
men chosen to hold the reins of gov
ernment generally reached a rate
period in life before their election.
John Adams was 81 when inaugurated
in 1897, Jackson also was 81 when
first inaugurated in 1929. Benjamin
Harrison was the oldest man ever
chosen for the Presidency, being 5S
at the time of his Inauguration in
1841. Taylor was 64 and Buchanan
IS, respectively, when they were in
augurated.
Aside from these all Presidents
have been younger than Woodrow
Wilson when entering the White
House. This has been particularly
noticeable in the last fifty years when
all Executives have been compara-
lively young. Theodore Roosevelt was
the youngest President ever inaugu-
rated in this country, being but AZ
when he took office.

JUSTICE DINST SOAKS $1OO FINE AND
COST ON HIM...HAD 81 QUARTS.

Two of the TideWater Portland Ce
ment Company's men are not working
in the cement plant today Their
names are Pietro Bosco and Carmine
Villemague. The reason is that they
made a trip to Baltimore yesterday
and brought back into Carroll county
enough whiskey to stock a small
sized bar-room. Bosco has been un-
der suspicion His brothers, who
keep store in Union Bridge were in
dicted by the last grand jury for sell
ing liquor unlawfully, but the proof
was not sufficient to convict and they
were adjudged not guilty. Now the
old adage has again been proven true,
Give dog enough rope and he will
hang himself. States Attorney Sea-
brook was given a tip by telephone
last evening that several Italians,
bound for Union Bridge, were on the
train that reaches Westminster at
TAG, loaded with a stock Of booze.
With Sheriff Stoner and Deputy Sheriff
Sullivan, he met the train, and the
men with their stock of goods were
taken before Police Justice Dinst, and
committed to jail for hearing this
morning. BosCo made a very frank
statement, claiming that all the whis-
key belonged to him, thirty-seven bot
ties of it; that he got a negro to help
him carry it to the station in Balti-
more, and there accidentally met Viii
lemague and got him to help him take
it into the smoking car. Villemague
does not speak English and Bosco's
story had every appearance of truth.
Bosco waived jury trial and pleaded
guilty. Villemague pleaded not guilty
and on Boscos statement was dis
charged. Justice Dinst imposed tne
of 800 and costs and committed him
to Jail until the fine AID costs are
paid, with notice that if he is again
caught violating the law, the extreme
penalty will be imposed.
