Ajax Saved Home.

Sunday evening last while the WIND
was blowing a gale, fire broke out in one
of the chlmneys in Mr.. James Smiths
house located near Graceham. Sparks
from the chimney lodged on the roof and
soon the roof was burning in severa!
places. Aid from Graceham went to the
scene and took with them the Ajax
Chemical tank and in a short while the
fire was under control and extinguished.
Two other houses, those of Jos. Nc
Sherry and Arnold Wilhide. adjoin this
property and the Smith property burned
these would have gone also. This in
stance showed how valuable one of these
chemical tanks are in small towns and
suburban properties.
The same evening the chimney to the
house occupied by Mr.. Chas. Troxell
in Graceham caught fire and burned
fercely. 1t il stated that the roof of the
house was on fire. The chemical tank
was used to good effect and the property

uments. The plan offers unlimited
opportunities for participation.
The State Roadside Tree Law, en-
acted in 1914, provides for the plant
ing of trees along the highway and
place the protection of roadside trees
under the State Board of Forestry,
The proper plan for procedure would
be for those who wanted to plant to
select portion of the roadway and
apply to the State Board OF Forestry
for an examination of the location
to determine the suitability for plant
ting, the best species to use. the estl-
mated costs and thus work out a uni
form system of planting.
The cost of the trees and their
planting will vary from Sl.5O to So.
each, depending upon local condl-
tons. After the trees are planted,
their care and protection would pro-
perly come under the State Board OF
Forestry. The planting would have
to be done in accordance with regu-
lations of the State Roads Commits
sion, as affecting the roadway, and
should not be less than fifty feet
apart. For trees attaining very large
size seventy-five feet would be the
proper distance, thus requiring from
$50 to POO trees per nile, planting
both sides of the roadway.
1t would also be desirable for each
county to select a particular kind OF
tree for general planting, thus giving
to each county's roadway a distinc-
tive feature. Native species should
be used as far as possible. Forum
ately, Maryland has SO many differ
ent kinds of native trees suitable for
roadside planting in each county and
and Baltimore City and not exhaust
the list.
Under the plan proposed, each
community or organization could
have its distinctive memorial; yet
the combined results would serve as
a fitting memorial for the entire
State and be of such character as to
increase in beauty and service with
the passing years.

Planting On Arbor Day.
Trees As Memorial TO Our
Soldier Boys.

Arbor Day. by proclamation OF the
Governor, comes early in April. On
this day many memorial trees will be
planted for those who made the su-
preme sacrifice in the great war, and
surely there could be no more fitting
memorials. Not only will individual
trees be planted AROUND the home,
but there will be extensive planting
along the roadsides.
What could be more fitting than
planting memorial trees along
the State Highway from Worcester to
Garrett, passing through Baltimore
and seventeen counties covering about
400 miles of roadway, of which, elm
mating the wooded portions and
stretches where planting is impossible
would leave approximately LIS miles
suitable for planting.

include all of the counties, an exten-
sion from Baltimore to Prince Fred
erick and another from Rockville to
Leonardtown would add so miles
suitable for planting, and include
the remaining counties of the State.
This may seem like large program
and could not be carried out in one
year. A start should be made this
spring and the planting extended
from year to year until completed.
Different communities and organiza-
tons in each county would plant diff
ferent portions of the roadway, and
in few years it should be possible
to link these up into State system,
each portion planted to preserve its
identity by suitable markers or mon

TRepublican A. p. Leased WireJ

DOUGLAS, July 31.-Gen. P. Elias Gales, governor of Sonora, at the con- clusion of his term of office. Septem Der 1, plans to tour the United States for month before returning to Mexico City to resume his duties as secretary of commerce and industry in the Mex ican cabinet, according to word re- ceived from the general by friends in Agua Prieta. General Gales proposes to start his tour at San Francisco and end in New York from where he will sail to Mexico City.
 While planned primarily as vaca- tion, General Gales visit to the United States will include investigation of sev- eral problems which are expected to confront him in his cabinet position; more particularly to observe whether his problems are handled in the United States.
 The proposed visit of General Gales is of more than ordinary interest be- cause the 0l problems of Mexico come under his department for adjudication and his tour may have bearing on the conduct of future diplomatic negotia- tions.

INDUSTRIAL UNREST PRESAGES DOWNFA FALL

Such Is Belief of Leaders in

Republican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, July 31.-The general in- dustrial unrest in Great Britain which has been seething ever since the armis- tice, seemed at the present hour to have reached point which menaces the commerce of the country with at least temporary disaster. It is con- sidered possible that it may mean the downfall of the Lloyd George govern ment
 The strikes of the past month have been large enough but they are merely symptomatic of an epidemic of dissat- isfaction which appears to prevail throughout the ranks or organized la bor.
 The worst movement of all from the government standpoint is the threat of "direct action by the triple alliance of every member of the mine and transport workers"
 The men are taking a secret ballot to conclude whether they shall use the weapon of a general strike to try to en- force their political program of the standardization of mines and railways. abolition of conscription and withdraw al from all participation in Russian affairs.
 i Lord Asquith has denounced the pre- mler bitterly as responsible for the | present conditions by his policy of political interference in industrial ] business"
 Direct action by the workers is de- nounced by many public men as ar attempt to usurp the powers of parIia ment and govern the country by a dic. | tatorship of labor unions.

 WASHINGTON, July 3t.-Fig- ures showing that retail meat dealers in Washington are averag- ing 100 per cent profit on all sales of meat were cited today before senate District of Columbia sub committee investigating living costs in the district.
 E. A. Calvin, representing the cotton states official advisory marketing board, told the commit tee that while, on July 1, retail dealers in Washington, according to figures of the department sf agriculture, were paying from 18 to 19 cents a pound for dressed beef, they were disposing of the entire carcass at an average price of not less than 40 cents a pound. The witness said the same profits were being made today.
 The witness also cited beef quo- tations at Boston. Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other large cities, showing that although the price of dressed beef to the retailers de- cIined on an average of 25 per cent at those points from July i to July IS, there was an average de- crease of only 8 per cent in the price to the consumer.
 "These figures clearly show," in terjected Senator Capper of Kan sas, a member of the committee, "that the retailer, pr the man who is selling over the counter, is profiteering."

POSTAL COMPANY TO REDUCE RATES WITH
 RETURN IF CONTROL
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wIrel

NEW YORK, July 31.-When control of the telegraph systems of the coun- try is formally relinquished by the government at midnight, a reduction of 20 per cent in rates will be made immediately on the lines of the Postal company, but the Western Union will retain the schedule put into effect after Postmaster General Burleson took con- trol on April l.
 Clarence H. Mackay. president of the Postal announced in a statement late today that the rate reduction would be made in accordance with it's promise to the public" He quali- fled the announcement, however by saying that if expenses continued to mount charges might have to go with them.
 Newcomb Carlton. president of the Western Union, who also has been in charge of the cable systems controlled by the government since last Decem- ber declared on the other hand:
 We cannot see our way clear to do better than we are doing at this time. ''
 The head of the Postal company said the return of the wires to their owners marked the end of "a powerful effort by the postmaster general and Bell Telephone Western Union companies to eliminate the competition of the Postal Telegraph Cable company"
 In statement on the stand of the Western Union, MT. Carlton said:
 "The Western Union wires reach 22,- 525 separate communities. The other telegraph systems reach only 1,10o communities, or less than 8 per cent of the total number served by the Western Union. The offices in over 2o,000 small communities exclusively served by our wires are unprofitable to the company, yet such offices are essential to the country at large and ] must be maintained

Discuss Reduction Measures


 Late today Attorney General Palmer met eight high government officials, for a discussion of the high costs and the best methods to pursue to effect a reduction. After a general talk the conference disbanded to meet again probably next week. Those attending the conference included Secretary Glass, Secretary Houston. Secretary Redfield and Secretary Wilson, Diree- tor-General Hines, Chairman Murdock of the federal trade commission, assist ant Secretary of the Treasury Leffing- well and W. B. Colver of the federal trade commission.
 It developed today that demands for more wages were pending before the railroad administration for several thousand employees w. G. Lee, presi- dent of the trainnen, told the wage and adjustment board that an increase in wages was not the proper solution of the present economic hardships un- der which working men are laboring because they would be followed by new increases in the cost of everything which would more than absorb the ad- ditional pay. Until all classes get to- gether to stop 'profiteering," he said. the only thing for everyone to do is to get all the wages he can. .i course which he declared would result event. ually in pre- pitating the 'upheavalr now staring the country in the face.
 As a step toward breaking the high prices, plans are being made by Sec retary Baker, Postmaster General Bur leson and Representative Kelly of Pennsylvania to sell through the parcel post surplus army food stocks valued at s124,00O,000. Officials who attended the conference declined to discuss what took place.
 In response to questions Mir. Palmer admitted that there was no law bx which prices could be lowered directly but he declined to say whether new legislation was needed to enable the department to punish men who may be guilty of profiteering.
 There is a great deal of good law on the statute books" the attorney de- clared
