view that the city's Interpretation was
incorrect.

Schoo! officials admitted yesterday
there was ground for protest by the
teachers, but said with the prospects

vorably by the committee both of House

WOOD USING INDUSTRIES OF
MARYLAND.

The State Board of Forestry re-
ports chat there are 1,16S establish
ments employing 16,79O men en-
gagged in producing wood and timber
products, ranking second in the
State in value of products and num-
Der of dependent wage earners.
This includes production Of LUMBER,
ties, poles, posts, piling, mine props,
and similar forest products aid
other concerns which carry further
the manufacture of wood products
such as wooden boxes, interior
finish, ship building, furniture,
musical instruments, cigar boxes
carriages, baskets, cooperage, and
miscellaneous manufacture.
These industries convert into
finished products nearly 100000
900 feet board measure annually.
The wood used embraces "a diff
ferent species derived from many
sources. Less than 20 per cent of
the wood used was grown in the
State, the remaining 80 per cent
being supplied from other states and
foreign countries.
There are 282 plants in the State
employing nearly 1900 men en-
gagged in manufacturing articles
from wood. Considerably more
than half are located in Baltimore,
while the remainder are scattered
over the State, being centered some
what around Salisbury on the East
ern Shore and Hagerstown in West
ern Maryland.
Investigations of the Board of
Forestry have shown that in many
cases woods which grow in Mary
land are apparently overlooked and
the same species imported from
other states at great expense. 1t is
also shown that there is splendid
market for all wood products and
that the woodland owners and saw
mill and timber operators of the
State are now taking the fullest adj
vantage of the home market.
There is large forested area in
the State capable of supplying much
of the wood demends of the wood
using industry if properly managed.
1t is the purpose of forestry to so
manage these woodlands that they
will continue to produce forest
crops of the highest quality and the
greatest value in the shortest time.
The growing scarcity of timber and
the increased values received are
giving greater impetus to the prac-
tice of forestry than ever before
known in this country.

Governor PrOclaims League d
Nations Day.

Governor Richie has issued
proclamation naming Sunday, oct.
"a. as a day on which the people OF
the State are urged to read ana
study the rovenant of the League OF
Nations" to the end that they may
be "better able to cast their ballots
wisely and intelligently" in the
coming election.
This action by the Governor FOL
lowed the request for the naming or
such a day, made to all Governors
bv a committee of prominent men
of both parties, headed by President
Lowell, of Harvard University.
Governor Coolidge, of Massachu-
sets, Republican Vice-Presidential
nominee, refused the request, stat
ing that such a proclamation would
be giving official sanction to a poll
tical issue.
Governor Richie, however, takes
issue with the view expressed by
Governor Coolidge.
The Governors proclamation re-
cites that the "object of the United
States and our allies in the World
War" was to "crush the spirit OF
militarism" and lend wars among
the peoples of the earah" as far as
it is possible to do so. 1t AYERS
that, if "this end is not, as far as
humanity possible, attained" Ameri-
cas- victory in France will fail of
the purpose for which this country
fought.
Referring to the ratification OF
the treaty of Versailles and the
League covenant as the zone great
issue, if not the paramount issue in
the present campaign" the procia-
nation declares that zone of the
two great political parties advocates
our entry into the League, and the
other of the two great political par
ties opposes this" Sunday, October
"a, is then named as "a day upon
which the people of this State, with
out regard to party, creed or de-
nomination are urged to read and
study the covenant of the League OF
Nations" to the end that they may
cast their ballots wisely and intelli-
gently on this great issue which
concerns the future peace of the
world"
