Does it make any difference to you whether a movie star is married or not, when you sec her or him on the screen?
 Raymond L. Morris. 52o Seaview avenue, artist:
 '-No, can't say it does. Usually don't know the difference, but I did notice it not long ago when I saw Geraldine Farrar and Lou-Tellegen in ''The Woman and the Puppet. .'' I thought then that Geraldine must be married to Lou or else he wouldn't have dared to slap her so hard.'
 Jerome J. -Karpf. 1S3 Map1ewood avenue, news writer:
 NO, I don't care whether they're married or not, so long as I don't know. If the girls are Eivacious, winsome and generally in good shape that's good enough for mel
 William Pickett, 191 Catherine street, compositor:

SATISFACTORY GAIN
SINCE CONSOLIDATION

Results of the consolidation OF the
Annapolis Short Line with the Wash
ington. Baltimore and Annapolis Elec-
tric Railroad Company are more than
meeting the expectations of the man
agement of the latter road, as shown
economies effected during the five
months OF the current fiscal year.
Gross revenues have made a crafty
ing gain. and savings which have
been brought about by joint opera
tons have enabled the company 10
earn a substantial amount on its out
standing common stock.
No earning figures are forthcoming
at this time from the Offices of the
company. but the financial district
has heard limitations of the very
favorable showing in both gross and
net made for the five months As a
matter OF fact il is stated that there
are few public utility companies able
TO equal the record of the Washing
ton Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railroad Company during this period.
Al the time the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis sold an issue of
81 400, 900 two-year per cent. mort
gage and collateral trust notes to a
syndicate composed of Baltimore fl
nancial institutions gross revenues
were estimated at $2.SS7 900. operat-
ing expenses and taxes at $3.50 300
After the deduction of fixed charges
including interest on the notes
amounting TO SAT- 900, the net income
was given at $435.610.
Immediately after the Annapolis
Short Line property was taken over
the Washington. Baltimore and Anna
polls shifted all trains from Camden
Station to its Liberty Street Station
and this move resulted in a saving OF
more than 100000 annually Sub
stantial reductions have also been
made in other ways and it is pre-
dicted that additional economies may
be brought about later on in the year

The Old Gardener Says

You will find vacant garden rows
here and there where your early
crops have been removed Use these
places for turnips The turnip grows
quickly and seed put in now will give
you a good crop when fall comes. Be
sure TO firm the soil over the seed and
plant little deeper than you did in
the spring. If the ground is very dry.
YOU may find it necessary to wet down
the burrows before the seed goes in.

Tobacco Growers viii Suffer
Heavy Loss Result OF Drought

Tobacco growers Of Southern Mary
land stand TO lose thousands OF dol
lars AS result of the unusual
drought. which has practically forced
the planters OF that section to aban-
don planting three-fourths OF the
crop.
This Is the opinion of George l..
Gardiner. general manager OF the
MARYLAND Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, who declared that the 1922 mar
ketable crop will be the smallest in
the history OF the State He declared
that some farmers are almost facing
ruin in Southern Maryland on ac-
count of the predicament they find
themselves in by the continued
drought

got their crops planted put them in

The drought has literally parched the
crop that has been put in and ] would
say that not more than one-fourth OF
the normal planting will be yielded.
Mr. Gardiner declared that a great
many planters have waited so long
for break in the drought that they

more than loss. The young plants

ARKANSAS LEGAL
 VICTORY UPHELD

Washington, April fl. - Large tracts of land in Phillips county, Ark ansas, which were transferred to Mis- sissippi by sudden diversion of the Mississippi river in 1848, were re- turned by the supreme court today to Arkansas.
 The court ordered that the report of the commissioners who were ap- pointed to survey the disputed boun- dary along the river below Friar's Point be confirmed formally, and en- tered a final decree in the case be- tween the two states.
 The commissioners in laying the "new" boundary followed the in- structions of the court that it should conform as nearly as possible to "thc middle of the former channel of navi- gation by it's several courses and windings." Objection of Mississippi to the report on the ground that all available testimony had not been heard was overruled today.

 Statements made by Vice-Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, minister of marine last month relative to the Japanese naval policy are regarded here as in tended to answer charges that Japan is incurably militaristic and is in- sisting upon naval expansion. These statements, which were made to the Associated Press, are also looked up on as paving the way for an inter- national discussion of naval policies. Representative Japanese declare that if the naval race between Great Britain and the United States con- tinues. Japan must be obliged even tually to drop out because of financial considerations. If the other powers refuse to curtail their naval pro grammes and decline to discuss the matters. the government is liable to lose the support of the nation, which is clamoring for international re- forms.
