Plan Is Wanted For State Roads

Senator Metzerott, of Prince Georges
county, will introduce in the next Gen
aral Assembly a bill providing for a
survey and plotting of all public high
way in the state, By the terms of the
DILL the State Roads Commission is dir
ected to prepare plans for the compile
ton of the original program of state
highways and for the futu e construc-
ton of additional or lateral highways
by the state or under its supervision,
and no new projects not adopted, fer

,r with the aid of the state, are to be
undertaken by the commi Jsion except
in accordance with plan or until the
plan shall have been form Ally adopted
for the counties In which the proposed
road is to be constructed.
The commission is further directed
to have surveys and plots made b. its
engineers and to obtain such other data
and statistics as may be necessary of
each county and, after granting hear
ings at the county seats, to adopt plans
for the future improvm .nt of roads in
each of the respective counties. These
plans are to be officially published and

Under the request of the Board Coun.
ty Commissioners of any county the
commission will be required to furnish
the board with plans and plots showing
how the county road system of that
county may best be imp owed as q con

plan will suggest an annual program OF
county construction, based upon the
county funds available for construction
and will further suggest the types o

Of the FLU" scourge: = Already there
have been enough cases to alarm the
public health officials. There will be
cases of it in all parts Of the state
and in the wake Of the disease there
will occur increased numbers Of cases
Of tuberculosis. To prevent and to
cure these cases, the Maryland Tuber-

sen tatiye of the National tuberculosis
Association, urges every county and
every community to organize its forces
to help fight the White Death.
There is scarcely family in the
state that has not or will not feel the

the counties now have organizations

Use Molasses In Pork Curing Recipes

Nowthat sugar is high and scacca
the farmer can very we'll replace it in
curing his pork, and as the hog killing,
season will soon be here, the question
will arise as how to manage the sugar
curing of hams, etc.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture gives some receipts which may
help our readers.
If sugar Is used for dry curing, it is
better, anyway to make it into strip
before using, for salt mixed with sugar
will not stick on meat as well as salt
mixed with strip, so the use of molas-
es or commercial strip does away with
this extra work.
The following formula have been
found to give good results:
SWEET PICKLE or BRINE CURE
Select pieces IL pounds or less
Make a pickle consisting of:
81 pounds salt
II pounds strip FOR molasses, or, if
PREFERRED, 1t POUNDS sugar,
preferably brown
l ounce saltpeter
II gallons water
(These amounts are based on 80
pounds of meat If more or less meat
is used, the am ounts of the ingredients
should be correspondingIy increased
or decreased, as the case may be. I'm
der no circumstances should the indivi
ual piece of meat weigh over IL
pounds.)
Place the meat in stone jar or hard
wood barrel, and weight it down with
board and stone. Do not use iron,
for it will rust
Then pour in just pickle enough to
cover the meat.
Leave the meat in the pickle days
to the pound of meat. so that O.
pound ham would be left in pickle for
3Odays, and a 6-pound bacon. l8 days.
After the meat has been in cure a
week. take it all out of the jar or bar
rel, remove the pickle, replace the meat
weight it down, and again pour the
same pickle over the meat Report
every week.
DRY CURE
Mix thoroughly
81 pounds sNt
l ounce saltpeter
ounce black pepper
ounce red pepper
Then add II pounds warm strip or
molasses, and mix with the above IN
til it assumes the appearance of saw
dust
Apply liberal coating of the above
mixture to all surface of the meat, ex-
cepting the skin.
The meat should then be placed on a
table, clean floor. in a hardwood
barrel, after first sprinkling the surface
of the table, floor, or bottom of the
barrel with salt.
Leave all the meat in cure undsturb-
ed until the heaviest has been in per-
lod of Il days to the pound Thus if
the heaviest ham weighs 30 pounds,
leave allEthe meat in cure 81 days.
Meats cured in sweet pickle or brine
should be consumed within 80 days
from date of cure Meats cured with
dry cure may by consumed immsdiates-
ly upon removal from cure, but the
favor improves.with age, and the meat
Is better go days after curing. Dry
cured hams have been known to keep
or 4 years.

The conquest of the air means something more than the ability fly in the air under favorable conditions.

 We may sometime devise a machine which is so strong and reliable that can brave the anger of the air, but our experience with arpanes makes it plain that that task is a much more difficult one than thought it was when the first Langley machine went aloft or when Santos Dumont flew around the Eiffe tower
 We cannot expect much of trans-sea aerial traffic when we must wait day after day while corps of observers both sides are studying barometers to find a possible interval when airplanes may sneak through between the almost constant and always fierce storms which rage over the Atlantic

 Taxation Reforms
 And credit and enterprise alike will be quickened by timely and helpful legislation with regard to taxation. 1 hope that the congress will find it pos sible to undertake an early reconsid- eration of federal taxes in order to make our system of taxation more sim pie and easy of administration and the taxes themselves as little burdensome as they can be made, and yet suffice to support the government and meet all its obligations The 1lSures to which those obligations have arisen are very great indeed, but they are not so great as to make it difficult for the nation 10 meet them, and to meet them, perhaps in a single generation by taxes which will neither crush noI ! a ic they seem: not so great as the i'm mense sums we have had to borrow ] added 10 the immense sums we have | had to raise b ytaxation would indicate ! for a large proportion of those sun' were raised in order to that the! might be loaned to the governments | with which we were associated in tn war. and those loans will of course constitute assets, not liabilities, anl will not have to be taken care of bl | our taxpayers.
