TO SAVE MARYLAND CRAB AND
FISH INDUSTRIES.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover
is interested in plans to save the
crab industry and the migratory
fishes in the Chesapeake Bay, and
in all probability will act as arbi-
traitor in the dispute between the
MARYLAND and Virginia authorities
as to the legislation needed to pre-
serve the fish and crabs.
3 Much correspondence on the sub
ject has recently passed between
Secretary Hoover, Governor Richie
and Chairman Vickers of the Mary
land Conservation Commission.
Representative T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough of the First Maryland District,
however, is taking the lead in the
matter, and largely through his eff
forts another conference on the sub
ject with the Virginia officials will
be held July 6. On that occasion,
Representative Goldsborough hopes
that plans will be agreed upon for
concurrent legislation by the Mary
land and Virginia authorities.

The threatened tangle over anti
beer legislation was cleared away by
the House Judiciary Committee,
which ANONYMOUSLY reported the
Willis Campbell bill designed to pre-
vent PRONUNCIATION of beer-for-the-
sick regulations by the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue.
Machinery was Immediately set in
motion for it's, early passage by the
House, this week. AS the measure
embraces only the uncontroverted
sections of the Volstead supplement
tai bill, against which protests were
made by industries permitted to use
alcohol, practically all opposition
was removed and leaders said the
House would pass it in an hour and
by an overwhelming vote.
AS had been predicted the House
gave beer a complete knockout Mon
day night, when by vote of $50 to
SO the Willis-Campbell bill to pre-
vent the sale of the beverage to the
sick was passed, and sent to the
Senate, with expectations of its final
passage before the end of the week.

High prices of footwear which OBJ
tanned during 1918 and were increas-
ed in 1919 resulted from abnormal
conditions of supply and demand,
both economical and psychological,
arising from the war;" the Federal
Trade Commission reported to- the
House of Representatives. The re-
port was submitted in response to a
resolution. Incident to these con-
ditions," the report added, were
large margins of profit taken by
tanners, shoe manufacturers, whole
salers, jobbersjand retailers, whose
large earnings were declared to be
tout of all proportion to the increase
in cost"
The advance in the price of shoes
finally was terminated by the So
called buyers strikes" in the
spring of 1920, according to the re-
port.
"The present prices of hides and
skins and the conditions existent in
these phases of industry justify an
expectation of still further declines
in the quoted prices of leather and
Shoes" the report states.

Wheat harvest has come and soon
the wheat will be in the barn, ready
for market. The emergency tariff
under which Republicans promised
good prices is also in operation.
According to promises wheat grow
ers have a right to expect at least
So per bushel for wheat. No such
prospect is in sight. AS a matter
of fact, every one who knew any
thing about it, knew the emergency
tariff could not increase the price or
wheat unless the crop was less than
the needs for home consumption, or
farmers like some other producers
could by some plan hold wheat from
market and create an artificial
scarcity. We have heard a great
deal lately about the awakening of
the farmer, his organizations, etc.,
but most farmers are still in the
goat class. A tariff bill is now be-
ing written for Congress by the
favored class of manufacturers and
if it is adopted, as it no doubt will
be, it will be found to be no fake
prop to prices but the farmer with
81 wheat and fifty cent corn will
continue to pay war prices for phos-
pilates, farm machinery and about
every thing else that he is COM
PEELED to buy.-Dover, Del, Index.

PNEUMATIC TIRES ON MOTOR
TRUCKS. SAVE HIGHWAYS.

Many roads not originally intend
ed to carry heavy traffic were seri-
ously damaged during the period of
the war by the impact of heavy
motor trucks. The natural result
of this was to warn highway engi-
neers of the importance of planning
ell future roads with reference to the
kind of traffic that is likely to use
them. The engineers responded i'm
mediately by building thicker roads
and roads of more durable material;
but in the absence of definite knowl-
edge of the probable strength of the
impact they have not known exactly
how thick or how strong the roads
must be made.
| Recent tests of the impact of
motor trucks made by the Bureau of
Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, develop the
facts that when solid-tired truck
strikes a 1-inch obstruction, the i'm
pact may be as high as seven times
the load, an average being about
four times.
The tests show, however, that the
impact depends largely on the kind
and condition of the tire. Pneu-
matte tires cause the least damage
to the road surface, the cushion OF
air reducing the impact so that it is
seldom greater than ~ times the
static load on the wheels. Although
the impact increases with the speed
of the truck, and it is therefore
highly desirable to limit speed by
strict regulation, the use of pneu-
matte tires would make higher speed
permissible.
are not building as
many trucks exceeding tons capac-
ity as formerly. The number OF in
dustries in which very large trucks
can be kept continuously working is
extremely limited, so that the likeli-
hood of forthcoming motor truck
damage to public highways is con-
siderably reduced.
