A State Question, Not Mere Local One.

Baltimore city is a STATE ASSET
and nothing should be permitted to
check the progress and expansion of
that asset. Every county in the State
is interested in this city. 1t is the
place closest to home to which go the
boys and girls from the farms and
county towns when they determine
to plunge into city life. Indeed, the
city is largely benefited by the influx
of people from the Eastern and Wes-
tern Shores who pour into Baltimore
ii enter urban business life. That
is why Baltimore is the Mecca of
Maryland boys and girls who seek
the city as their future home.
Under these circumstances, every
county in the State is interested in
the growth of Baltimore city. There
is not a county in the State which has
not a large resident representation IN
Baltimore city. There is not pulse
beat in the city that does not send its
reflex into the counties. The hearts
of the old folks at home glow with sat
isfaction at every promotion of the
son or daughter who is in the city;
and we all realize that the greater the
city, the greater is the opportunity for
promotion.
No Sense In BeIittling Its Importance.
There is no sense in anybody's be-
lifting the Importance of growth in
a city. 1t is one of the leading fac
tors in determining the speed of fur
Their growth in that city. One OF the
peculiarities of city development lies
right in the heart of that very truth.
Growth begets growth. People want
to go where a city is spreading out.
They vigorously shun all dead or stag
nant cities. When a city shows out
ward evidences of multiplying itself,
the world at large feels that such
city is prospecting. People will want
to live there; they will want to plant
their factories tueTe. CNCA IhC AoSe'A
population will be holder in local in
yestments where the home city shows
signs of a strong forward movement.
This rapid expansion of city means
a corresponding expansion of bust
ness opportunity. The expansion OF
business opportunity means a bigger
and better opportunity for the coun-
try girl or boy who has resolved to
settle in the city.
There is no doubt about the fact
that the United States as whole, is
watching the sharp race for leader
ship that has recently marked the
record of a certain group of Amer1-
can cities. Baltimore, Boston, st
Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Los Ange-
les and San Francisco form a clus-
ter of cities which are natural rivals
for prestige. Buffalo, Milwaukee and
Cincinnati are pacing closely behind
The business importance of any one
of the above cities is measured by the
degree of its forward march. Balti-
more will be classified by its growth

in population. If her rivals leap to
the front with big increases and Bal
timore stands still, the outside world
will conclude that we haven't the ele
ments here to make great city.
They will not stop to note that while
others have ample room to expand,
Baltimore is damned up into a little
two by four opportunity and is thus
tied down to stagnation. AS a con-
sequence, the world, seeing big in
creases in the population of other
cities and seeing a dispproportionate
ly small growth on the part of Balti-
more, will conclude that Baltimore is
a dead city.
Just Compare BaItimore's Experience
With Her Rival American Cities.
1t will be reflection on the brains,
the enterprise, the attractiveness Of
our people to permit any such ideas
to find lodgment anywhere.
We want the reputation of being a
great, advancing State. We want to
create the impression that we are
throbbing with enterprise. We want
to satisfy the outside world that we
are leaving nothing undone that saw
ors of up-to-date progressiveness.
That being true, we have got to
break the shackles of our city and
give her full freedom to expand. You
can't make Baltimore a moving city
by claiming her to the stake. You
can't put her into the race with other
like cities unless you equip her with
opportunities equal to theirs.
The cities in the group to which
Baltimore belongs are not walled in
behind circumscribedd limits. Their
boundaries have been expanded so as
to give full chance to grow. All of
them, in area, are bigger than Bal
timore. Cleveland today would not
be the sixth city in population if Balti-
more had been given equal area with
Cleveland. We are shut in, bound
down and chained, so that we can do
nothing but crawl. Our rivals are
given full freedom to fly; their area
has been enlarged; their opportuni-
ties expanded; their forward momen-
tum largely accelerated.
Just note the comparison yourself
Baltimore is cramped up within a
petty little area of 30.1 square miles,
despite the outlying development
which is really part of herself. How
about the other cities? This is the
area of each: Cleveland 511a square
miles; Detroit, All; Boston, 43.1;
Pittsburgh, 1873; st. Louis, Gil; San
Francisco, ass; Los Angeles, 1861.
All of these are larger in area than
Baltimore and enjoy, as conse-
quence, larger opportunities for
great showing Even cities in lower
class than Baltimore are laid in an
area much larger than Baltimore.
For instance Buffalo has 1873 square
miles; Minneapolis, SOL; Cincinnati,
6S6; Seattle, 5S.6; New Orleans, 1876.

The Constitutional Aspect.

Those who attack the General As

feet this proposed annexation, without
referendum, do so not because the
Legislature really lacks the right, but
they do so to becloud the issue. The
Court of Appeals of Maryland has al
ready decided in favor of the General
Assembly's powers along this line.
Moreover, the question, as applied spe-
officially to the proposed City Exten-
sion Bill, has been carefully investi-
gated by eminent and highly skilled
lawyers, living in different parts of
Maryland, all of whom agree that there
is absolutely no doubt as to the Cen
eral Assembly's restricted right to

REMNANTS OF THE PEQUoTS
Few Descendants Left Of the Red
Men Who Once Lived on Long
Island.

Early in the seventeenth century
the PcquOts occupied territory about
thirty miles in length and fifteen or
twenty in width, lying near the mouth
of the Thames river on Long Island
sound and nOrthward to little above
Norwich. They were estimated vari-
Ously to number about $500, including
700 warriors. In 1886 EndicOtt esti-
mated 300 warriors, but while travel
ing through their country on a puni-
tive expedition Mason found only sew
enty wigwams. Underhill, an eyewit-
ness at the massacre in which the Pc
quOts were destroyed as a nation, says
that 400 men pcrished at the PequOt
fort at Groton in 1896.
In 1855 the shattered tribe was re-
united, restored to its ancient name
and territory, and placed again under
its own chiefs by permission of the CO.
lonial authorities, f. G. Speck writes
in the Southern Workman. The Pc
quotS had, however, to pay an annual
tribute in wampum to the English.
BY 1853 their lands and numbers had
diminished considerably and in 1T3l
they were reported to number only 16I
persons. In 1862, still occupying their
ancient country in two separate bands,
they were estimated at 176. In 17SG
many joined the BrOthertown Indians
in New York state, whence their de-
scendants migrated with the OneidaS
to Wisconsin. Here the BrothertOwn
Indians are still to be found, some of
the families still recognizing their Pc
quot descent. In Connecticut the res
ident band included fifty persons in
1920, under chiefs by the names of
Shelley, Shantup and Ned. Upon the
inquiry of DeForest, who has written
much on the Connecticut tribes in his
work, History of the Indians of Con
necticut," in 1913 only three families,
amounting to about seventeen persons,
were found on the reservation.

Eucalyptus Leaves.

Eucalyptus are evergreenS, which
shed their bark but not their leaves,
but they are not shade trees. The
leaves are placed in inclined rather
than in horizontal positions, and the
passage of light is but little Obstruct-
ed. For this reason, smaller trees and
bushes and grass grow underneath,
and the woods in places assume the
appearance of jungle from which
arise the towering shafts Of trees. 1t
is interesting to note that primitive
types of eucalyptus, as well as the
young or more modern types, have
horizontal leaves, pointing to a time
in the geologic past when the climate
was more congenial and no precau-
tions to conserve moisture need be TAX

Instructor, Also Condemned
Mouth Breathing.

Every time Il man crosses his legs

to do" said William MuldOon. you

ter when you squeeze the garden hose"
This widely known physical instruc-
tor attached great Importance to prop
er breathing. He told me of the trou-
Bile he had in making John L. Sulli-
van breathe properly, and he dwelt on
the harm that numbers of Americans
do themselves (witness the prevalence
of catarrhal aGfections) by the bad hab-
it of mouth breathing.
'Kcep your mouths shut. Breathe
through your nostrils," he said.
If the nOstrils are stopped up he ex-
plained how they may be made to func-
ton properly by simple cleansing abiu-
tions, and he insists that these be per
formed regularly.
