LIGHTS WITHOUT BATTERY

G. F.. Asks: How can I get lights,
without using a storage battery. on my
-- car, which is equipped with
magnetic and generator?
Answer: The best way to accomplish
this is to connect a switch into the
generator field circuit, mounting this
on the cowlboard. When this switch
is closed. the generator will be active
and when it is open, it will be dead.
All the lights are kept switched on at
all times and are lighted by closing
the field switch and extinguished by
opening It. The generator voltage can
be regulated to give fairly constant
illumination at all except quite low
speeds, when there would be no light
at all,

ROAD BUILDING
is RESUMED
Commission Awards Contracts
For Building In Four OF
The Counties

With the awarding of contracts for
five sections of road by the Roads
Commission the State has resumed
road construction, which was suspend
ed early last fall on account of the ex-
cessive prices asked by contractors.
At that time the cost of labor and
cement and other materials were so
high that bids for road construction
ran from $4,000 to more than $4,000
mile.
The average cost per mile of the
roads contracted for will be $34, 800,
or saving of from $4,000 to S15,-
900 mile. In the opinion of Cover
nor Ritchie and of Chairman Mackall,
of the State Roads Commission, this
saving to the State was well worth
the delay
Chairman Mackall said that he con-
Sidered the bids satisfactory. but he
looks for further reduction. But for
the increases in freight rates that
have taken place since the beginning
of the war there would have been a
decided saving.
Successful Bidders.
The contracts awarded were as fol-
lows:
Caroline County, 2.54 miles, to a.
Il. Sandridge & Co., for S7S.i96, or
S3l 900 a mile.
Wicomico County, 1.5 miles, to D..
A. Hannaman Construction Company
at $49,116, or $37, 400 mile.
Worcester County, 1862 miles, to
Piel Construction Company at $l33,-
312, or S36,SOO mile.
Talbot County, three miles to the
Piel Construction Company at 500, ,954,
or $32,31S a mile.
Hartford County, 2.25 miles, to Will
liam II. Holm at S76,45O, or $33,97S a
mile.
Three Bids Rejected.
Three of the low bids were rejected
One of these was for piece of road
in Allegany County for which s44,546
a mile was asked, and another was for
a road in Prince Georges for which
$4,000 was asked Another bid on
piece of Prince Georges road at $32,-
81 was rejected because of the failure
of the Federal Aid act to pass, which
cut the State out of 1869, 900 which it
had expected to spend on Maryland
roads this year. Federal money was
to have been spent on this road.

BERRY CROPS
GOOD THIS YEAR
Spring Production To BE Greater
BY so Per Cent. Than Last
Year. II Is Forecast

The farmers in this section are
looking forward optimistically to the
strawberry crop this spring.
The outlook at present is for an in
crease of about 80 per cent. over last
year, which means about 1900 car
loads from the section within a radius
of 80 miles of Salisbury. For the last
few years this crop has been the best
paying one the farmers have raised,
it is said.
1t is thought that the strawberry
will in large measure take the place
of the tomato in this section in the
future, as the tomato was failure as
a money-maker last year, whereas the
strawberry was unusually profitable
as crop, yielding the growers an
average of % cents a quart.
The berries raised on the Peninsula
are said to compare very favorably in
the city markets with all others han
died. Pittsville, in Wicomico County;
Marion Station, in Somerset; Bridge
vile and Selbyville, in Delaware, are
four of the largest strawberry ship
ping points in the United States.

WOMEN To VOTE
IN CONVENTION
OF Diocese of EastOn--AdvOcated
by Prominent Men of p. E.
Church of Eastern Shore

Easton, Md, March l8.-Now that
the women are permitted to vote in
the State elections there is an effort
on the part of some members of the
Dioceses of Washington, Maryland and
Easton to permit them to vote at the
election of vestries on Easter Mondays
in the Protestant Episcopal Churches
of these dioceses.
Vestrymen in Washington, Mary
land and Easton dioceses are elected
according to the laws of Maryland,
and known as the "Vestry act of 1898"
which is still operative. Two years
ago the Diocese of Easton tried to
have the Legislature so amend the act
as to permit women to vote at Easter
Monday elections of Nestrymcn. As
the other two other dioceses of the
State took no action in the matter the
Legislature refused to act.
This week the Diocese of Washing
ton sent to the secretary of the Dio-
cese of Easton resolution asking for
the appointment of a commttee"leam-
ed in the law" to confer with the
Maryland and Washington on the
matter This resolution will be taken
up at the fifty-third annual convention
of Easton at Berlin, May lst.

BONDED LIQUOR
IN MARYLAND
State Tax Commission Surprised
BY The Depletion in The
Warehouses

Fewer than $4,000 barrels of whisky
remain in the bonded warehouses of
Maryland, according to figures dis
closed in a survey of distilled spirits,
completed last Wednesday by the
State Tax Commission.
This great depletion of the bonded
stocks surprised even the members of
the Tax Commission. Reports that,
despite Withdrawals since prohibition,
the stocks in the bonded warehouses
were still high were generally believed
and the commission counted on col
lecting tax almost as large as last
year from the liquor
Back in 1915, when the Tax Com
mission was first organized, it collect
ed taxes on 4l0,62S barrels of the
good old stuff" in the bonded ware
houses. The decline has been steady
since then, making the big drop to
$4,000 on the first of January this
year from 264,9O0 barrels in 1918
when prohibition began to appear on
the national horizon.
Incidentally the Tax Commissions
old assessment of $50 a barrel still
holds, despite the fact that many boot
leggers are getting as much a quart,
and there are 200 quarts in the aver
age barrel. But it is on the 500 basis
that the liquor is still being taxed.
The survey disclosed some inter
esting facts besides the near depletion
of the bonded stocks. Among the most
interesting was the fact that, during
1920, more than $4,000 barrels were
withdrawn "for medicinal and sacra-
mental purposes only"
Figured down to the average size
drink in the good old days" when
the bartenders of average liberality
got about 90 drinks from quart
bottle, these $4,000 barrels contained
152, ,00O,O 900 drinks. This means that,
if the liquor withdrawn for medicinal
and sacramental purposes only" re-
mained in Maryland there was enough
distributed during the year to give
each man, woman and child in the
State 1O5 average size drinks for such
purposes.
The decline in stocks from last year
means that the State viii lose approxi-
mately $2.S0O, the whisky being taxed
at 35 cents on each 500 Of value
that is, of f'falue" as represented by
