The men in this country who know
most about the war time needs are
those holding responsible positions
in the executive departments at
Washington. The fact that these
men are in favor of road improve
ments of an economic value and are
not advising any curtailing of work
of this character is most significant.
The Secretary of War has even
recommended the continuation OF
the interstate highways which some
uniformed persons have looked
upon as roads for pleasure touring
solely. The Department of Agricul-
ture is continuing to give federal aid
to the states in road work, and is
cooperating in every possible way to
increase the mileage of good roads
where good roads are desirable.
Surely those who know most about
our needs for national defense would
not follow this course if road build
ing should be checked.

CLUB ASKS AC.
COUNTING.
Wants To Know All About The
States ROads-Says Burdens
Are Heavy.


The Automobile Club OF Maryland
has adopted resolution asking for
an auditing of the accounts of the
State Roads Commission and of the
State Motor Vehicle Commission.
The resolution was prompted by
public charges that the club is sup
porting the Adamson bill, now pend
ing in Congress, and by the claims
on the part of the club that 1t is
bearing a too heavy proportion Of
state roads.
The resolution asking for an in
quiry reads as follows:
First. That the firm of William
A. Gillespie & Co., certified public
accountants, of Baltimore, or If that
firm be not available for the pur-
pose, some other reputable firm of
certified public accountants, be en-
ployed by the president of this club
to make audits of the reports and
books of the State Roads Commits
sion of Maryland and the Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles of Mary
land, respectively, for the purpose of
determining whether or not the re-
ceipts of the latter available for road
maintenance are, and are likely to
be, adequate for the proper "oiling,
maintenance and repair of the mod
ern roads Quilt orr now being built
by the state and countless" If less
than adequate, how much less; and
if more than adequate, how much
more.
Third. That the secretary of this
club be directed to request the State
Roads Commission and the Commits
sioner Of Motor Vehicles, respective
ly, on behalf of the Automobile Club
of Maryland to permit the said &C
countants to make such audits and
to facilitate their work thereon so
far as may reasonably be possible.
Another clause of the resolution
reads as follows:
Seventh. That the members Of
the Automobile Club of Maryland
be and they are hereby requested, SO
far as possible, to refrain from form
ing any conclusions upon the recitals
herein contained, or upon any other
statements which may be made to
them in any way, prior to their re-
ceipt of printed copy of the report
of the certified public accountants
above referred to.

Whisky making has been sus-
pended, by Government law, until
after the war. The law became eff
fective at midnight Sunday. Saloon
keepers who purchased and stored
away large quantities of whisky, be-
lieving they would be prepared when
the law prohibiting the manufacture
of liquor as a beverage went into
effect learned that they were in a
predicament
Instead of stealing a march on
Uncle Sam, the retailers unwittingly
placed themselves in a position
where they will be forced to pay the
Government a tax of $500 gallon,
in addition to the taxes already i'm
posed, as soon as the revenue bill
now before Congress is operative.
This tax will be imposed on all
whisky over the fifty wine gallons
allowed to any one dealer.
The result of retailers laying in
large quantities of whisky will be
that some will be required to pay
the Government as much as $4,000
a month. If they fail the whisky
will be confscated.

Still Urgent Need For Navy Recruits


Since April list, five days before
war with Germany was declared,
1887 recruits from the Navy have
been enlisted in the Maryland Dis
trict.
This number placed the State
among the leaders in the Eastern
Naval Division, and the results have
been complimented by Lieutenant
Commander John Grady, Recruiting
Inspector of the Division.
Despite this showing, however,
there is still an urgent need for more
Navy recruits from Maryland.
Lieutenant M. A. Leahy, Officer
in-Charge of the Maryland District,
is anxious to keep up the good record
established by the State, and believes
there is yet plenty of material in the
District to draw from.
Special attention is called to the
increase in pay of recruits and the
opportunities for rapid advancement
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the
nearest postmaster; directly from
the Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert
& Lexington Streets, Baltimore, OF
from the Navy Recruiting Sub-sta,

town.

Land Title Registration.

The Maryland State College of
Agriculture has recently sent out an
interesting bulletin on the Torrens
System of Land Title Registration.
The system has heretofore been
brought to attention in Maryland by
an effort to have it adopted by the
Legislature. The general public at
that time took but passing interest
in the subject, and the Torrens sys-
TEN was evidently thought to be too
revolutionary for Maryland. Some
of the States have adopted it.
AS Professor Bomberger points
out, however, just now this question
of title registration comes home TO
every farmer The establishment of
a Federal system of lending money
on farm lands has first of all directed
the attention of would-be borrower
to the fact that he has very
cumberson and expensive process to
go through to prove his title. Every
time a piece of land changes hands
the buyer must have the chain of
title searched at his own proper costs
and charges; .thet mortgage must
have another search made, and
there is an endless digging into the
records. One search means nothing
to a subsequent purchaser or
mortgage.
The Torrens system rests upon one
basic fact: The State guarantees
the title. 1t is the result OF judi
cial proceeding, and when the State
issues the certificate the right of
possession is established by the high
est authority. Transfer of possession
is made in the simplest manner.
Landed property becomes as avail
able as an emergency asset as any
other. The value of property de-
ponds upon it's STABILITY and the
right of the possessor to transfer it.
The Torrens system assures speedy,
safe and inexpensive transfer Of
titles.
This is a reform that will make
possible for any land owner a simple
and cheap transfer of his property,
and the intricacy of the title exami-
nation, the search, time, expense
and uncertainty of the present sys-
tenn that have so long caused
vexation and loss will be done away
with.

One cannot think of good roads
without also giving credit to the
automobile. When the farmer be-
gan to buy automobiles he began to
demand good roads; he is getting
them. Despite the effectiveness of
the plea for good roads on the part
of those who recognize the import
ance and the utility Of the motor
driven vehicle, just how many people
do you suppose own motor cars in
he United States?
According to the most recent
count of the division of road econo-
mics of the Office of Public Roads,
enc person out of every thirty-two in
the United States is the owner of a
motor car. Now, to the knight Of
he road it may seem that they are
much more numerous than this in
certain sections, and indeed they are.
If he is walking in Iowa, where the
big crops grow, he will find one per-
son in eleven owning autos. In
Arkansas only one person in every
LOO OWNS MOIOI CdI' lHO last
count shows that in all the country
3,512,996 motor cars are owned, and
since the rate of annual increase is a
little over forty per cent, the number
is a great many more than that by
this time. If you are still among
those hapless jewellers in the coun-
try who are doing without motor
car perhaps you can use these figures
to find out just how long it will be
before you're at the wheel.
The automobile fills Iong-fe1t
want in farm life, relieving the work
horses of much of their drudgery,
giving the entire family more pleas
ure and enabling the farm product
to be marketed to the best advant
age. The day is almost here when
he auto truck and the tractor
be as generally used and as highly
appreciated. Successful farming de-
ponds upon taking advantage of the
market fluctuations so as to get the
best possible price. When live
stock-or any other produce for that
matter-can be marketed by truck in
one-fourth of the time that it can be
marketed by team, and in such
manner as to get the markets high
est price, the truck will become in
to the farmer.
That day is coming as fast as
permanent roads can be built.

THE FORESTS OF MARYLAND.
Interesting Volume Issued BY State
Board OF Forestry.

Interesting Volume Issued BY State
Board OF Forestry.
We are indebted to State Forester
Besley for bound volume of "The
Forests Of Maryland, which has
just been published by the State
Board of Forestry The book is
handsomely illustrated, and contains
so much of interest that it should be
in all our school libraries, as well
as in the hands of woodland owners.
The Forests OF Maryland shows
in condensed form our forest re-
sources, their value to the people Of
the State, and how these resources
may best be conserved by wise use,
not only to supply present needs, but
to anticipate the needs of the future.
The original forest maps, separate
one of each county, show the char
acter and extent of forest areas, with
the approximate stand of timber in
every county of Maryland.
In their value of natural products
the forest resources OF Maryland
rank second only to agriculture. 1t
is intended that this Report should
be handbook of Maryland'c
forests, supplying information which
has heretofore been inaccessible re-
garding these great natural re-
sources of the State.
The book is effectively illustrated,
the maps being done in colors.
Forestry and Agriculture are CO.
workers. Supplies of food and fuel
are assuming greater importance
daily, and any information as to how
they may be conserved and increased
should be a timely contribution to
rural reading matter. Upon appli-
cation to the Board of Forestry, 532
N. Howard St., Baltimore, the book
will be sent without charge to own
ers of woodland AND those in Mary
land really interested in the forests
and forestry of the State.
