East of ArdnOre.

Much interest is being manifested in
the country east of here now and in
Carter county. One of the big oil com
panies has placed a geologist here to
work out the country and if he APPROX
es it for drilling some tests will be
started that will be of intense interest
TO the people of this section of the
state. 1t is stated that the land own
ers there will take advantage of the
interest being manifested in their loca-
lity and will cooperate by giving leases
or selling at a nominal cost to parties
who will drill actual oil tests and who
are not making an effort to indulge
merely in speculation.

BAD DEBT WASTE BLAMED
FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING
Washington Association of Credit
Men Points to Addition to
Overhead Expenses.

Bad debt waste running into hum
dreds of millions of dollars is one Of
the most important factors entering
into the high cost of living, accord
ing to the Washington Association of
Credit Men, which will support the
McNary bill, providing for the gar
nlshment and attachment of wages of
fe:teral employees who fail to meet
financial obligations.
Government employees paying cash
for merchandise. says the association
are paying in part for the bad debts
created by fellow workers who run
accounts in stores and fail to meet
them. Bad debt waste adds to the
cost of doing business, therefore it
becomes one of the paramount items
IN determining and fixing sale prices.
The association states that some
government bureaus require that en-
ployes pay for necessities. while
others do not. 1t is the theory of
the McNary bill that if there is a
law allowing attachment of salaries.
over and above exemptions Above
by the laws of the District and of
the various states, government en-
ployes will not contract debts unless
they can pay them.
The National Association of Credit
Men and many of it's 129 local asso-
Citations have Endorsed the bill. The
Washington association has Endorsed
it through its committee on legisla-
ton, of which George f. Potter is
chairman.

PLOT AGAINST LABOR
ALLEGED IN ENGLAND
London Herald Charges the Gov
eminent With Sowing Seeds of
Mutual Distrust.'

LONDON, Monday. August 11.-That
the British government is organizing
a sinister secret plot against labor
and is conducting systematic spying
activities on the actions of workers
is charge that is featured today in
the Daily Herald. the labor organ
which connects with this alleged
movement recent official reports of
bolshevik conspiracie as part of the
scheme.
According to the story printed by
the Herald. the military intelligence
department of the war Office is being
used for industrial spying under the
control of the home office and Scot
land Yard.
Every attempt, says the newspaper,
is being made to undermine the labor
movement by sowing mutual distrust
in the ranks of the workers at the
same time that the police force and
the army are being "purged."

Think Plan Inadequate.

Representative Zihlman and those
supporting his bill are of the opinion
that the report made yesterday by the
Army engineers, suggesting two plans
to give the District an adequate water
supply. does not go far enough. They
are anxious to have the question gone
into thoroughly before any final action
is taken.
The interest of the Washington
suburban sanitary commission in the
question of District water supply is
found in the fact that authority is
given in the appropriation bill for the
District Commissioners to contract to
sell water to this suburban area with
the Washington suburban sanitary
commission representing the subur-
ban area. The authorization provides
that such selling of water shall not
be allowed to endanger the District
supply and shall not exceed 100000
gallons a day.
The suburban commission is particu-
larly interested in having an adequate
supply provided for the District. which
will be accessible and readily avail
able for distribution in the suburban
area.

Suggests Alternative Schemes.

The report of the Army engineers
made public in The Star yesterday
suggests, as the two additional plans.
construction of an additional conduit
from Great Falls paralleling the ex-
listing conduit. or construction of
conduit through a hill to bring Pa
tuxent river water. paralleling the
Columbia pike.
Representative Zihlman and those
supporting his bill and the proposals
of the Washington, suburban sanitary
commission feel that the expense OF
constructing a conduit through hill
is not necessary. Representative Zihl-
man quotes from the report of Rob-
ert B. Morse, engineer for the COM
mission, showing that such heavy ex-
pense is not necessary. The plan OF
the commission is to tap the three
Patuxent rivers and bring the water
to the District through an open cut
near the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis railroad. By tapping the
three rivers Mr.. Morse calculates an
ultimate supply of 160.0o0,000 gallons
a day can be had instead OF 9O,000.000
gallons. which is the maximum cal
culation under the Army engineers
proposal.
