MONUMENT ROUTE REMARKED.

The Monument Route, or Wash
ington Trail, the State road leading
from Washington to Philadelphia,
passing through Rising Sun and
connecting at the State line with
Route 131 in Pennsylvania, has been
remarked. The Washington Monu-
ment done in black on a yellow
background, has been painted on
practically every 10th telephone
pole along the highway. Most of
the turns are marked with the letter
L or R. depending upon whether the
turn is to the right or the left and
consequently, it is comparatively
easy to follow the route by simply
watching for these yellow signs.

HAvRE DE GRACE BRIDGE
YIELDS $116,se2 IN YEAR.
Company Got Bridge For Nothing
Has Paid $227, 500 Dividends.

Company Got Bridge For Nothing
Has Paid 1927 800 Dividends.
The Baltimore Sun last week pub
lished lengthy sketch OF the Havre
de Grace-Perryville toll bridge,
showing what gold mine the stock
holders are reaping from their $70O
investment.
The annual report of the bridge
company shows that the year 1920
was the most prosperous in the his
tory of the corporation. Much Of
the gain in revenue was evidently
due to an increase in rates the COM
pany made last year and which was
the result of favorable decision by
the Court of Appeals in a case
brought by the Public Service Com
mission.
The report shows that the gross
income of the company for 1920 was
$116,S92.27, that it paid dividends
amounting to $4,000, carried s21,-
372 to depreciation fund, put S..
900 aside as special reserve and
then had at the end of the year q
total reserve of $44,568, all this for
a company that originally started
with a paid-in capital of only $500.
Records in the Office of the Public
Service Commission show that diyi-
dends have been paid as follows:
1912, so; 1913, 11%; 1914, 1870;
1915, 400.
In February, 1916, the stock
holders voted to increase the capital
stock from $4,000 to $5O0,O00,
and a 5000 sstock dividend was de-
clared. In the same year two SO
dividends were declared.
In 1917 the gross revenue was re-
ported as $51 ,436, and after paying
S per cent. dividend OF $4,000
the sum Of $4,000 was carried to
the depreciation fund.
In 1918 the gross revenue report
ed was $10S,931. with $4,000 paid
in dividends, with s10,250 carried
to the depreciation fund and with
$13,750 charged to deferred main
tenance.
In 1919 the gross revenue fell to
$73,514, the total dividend was
$4,000, the depreciation fund was
augmented by $13,75O, and s1O,250
was added to the depreciation fund.
The 1920 report shows gross
revenue of $116.S92, the dividend
was $4,000. the depreciation fund
was increased by $21,372 and
special reserve of $4,000 was set up.
The value of the bridge as an in
come maker is due to the growing
use Of motor vehicles. The original
toll for passenger automobile was
81. The Utilities Commission cut it
to so cents, but a favorable Court of
Appeals decision allowed the toll to
be fixed at 60 cents. The capital
stock of the company is 100000,
in 5000 shares of the par value OF
500 each. The stock is owned by
the estate of Murray vandiver, C. C.
Pusey, Thos. H. Robinson, Richard
Dallam, M. H. Fahey, s. C. Rowland.
W. w. Bradford, J. M. Michael, C.
G. Robinson and w. H. Webster. r.
M. Vandiver owns one share. The
Utilities Commission will consider
the feasibility Of scaling down the
tolls charged by the owners of the
bonanza.

ican loan is portion of the credit
of 75o.ooo,ooo francs agreed upon by

FOOT and MOUTH
CURE WELCOMED
Experts Here Interested in
Reports of Serum Used
In France.

Reports of the discovery by a
board of French scientists of a
serum that would prevent foot ana
mouth disease among cattle were
received with interest by officials of
the Agriculture Department Fri
day. Although the disease has been
eradicated in this country since 1916
officials live in daily dread of its
recurrence. They have given up
hope of isolating the germ here. ex-
periments having been difficult,
fruitless and costly, but the last
epidemic was so widespread that
scientists in this country have been
hoping some means of innoculatioR
would eventually be discovered.
To date the United States has suf-
fered three epidemics. the last three
of which have been the most ravag-
ing.
The disease does not seem to be
native to the United States, Japan.
Italy. Germany and Holland seem
ing to be its points OF prevalence,
and except for the last epidemic
lasting eighteen months. from Au-
gust, 1914 other outbreaks in this
country have usually been stopped
within a few months.
Scientists of the Department OF
Agriculture yesterday said the dis
ease is highly contagious, vaccines
and experiments often having been
the means of spreading 1t, and that
it was in a sense a systemic infec-
ton in the nature ,of blood-poison-
ing. 1t nsnifests its54f in blisters

HATRED OF jew
IS UNJUSTIFIED
Declares Assimilation of
Christianity Wouldn't
Avert Hostility.

Would the world gain by the as
similation of the 13,000.000 Jews into
the Christian faiths. and would the
Jew gain? Would the hatred
for the Jew. become wiped out or
would the prejudice be lessened?'
In reply to these questions, DR..
Abram Simon, rabbi of the Wash
ington Hebrew Congregation, ad-
dressed the members of his parish
Friday night, explaining the cause of
what he termed the recent wave of
hostility against the Jews, spread
ing from coast to coast"
AS long as there is variety of
religious views on this earth there
will be disagreement" said DR..
Simon. with. this disagreement
there is a difference in mental atti-
tudes, and the clashing of these
mental conceptions bring disagree
able acts, The result is a hearty
dislike OF everything of a disagree
able nature, and with this religious
antagonism."
'I know of no way of wiping.out
the hatred of the Jew, and l ask Of
the Jews that allowance be made.
The spread of Jewish antipathy is
tempermental, hence temporary.
IF the world admires courage and
steadfastness, then the belief of the
Jew must rest in his fathers belief.
Jews must remain so regardless OF
the convictions of others. They
must remain SO because they still
believe in the heritage that belongs
to them. l deny that the loss OF
the Jewish faith would lead to a
closer embrace from our fellow men.
THE Jew has been termed pow
| erful. and the fear of his power has
been evidenced by hostility. If the
Jew is powerful, IL he were power
full. would he let one-half of his
people starve in Europe, and would
he permit the slander of men to be
spread throughout the nation?
The Jew is going to get all the
power he deserves and he shall get
aplenty. Just now he is getting
| more hatred than he deserves"

The fatalities among the great
diplomatic, military and naval lead
ers of the war have not been many.
Kitchener was the first to go, and

There was general speculation as
to where this unprecedented ma

that the result would be German
domination of the world by peace

thought that the movement was too
rapid to last, and that disaster
would come as swiftly as had sue

growth the German policy was the
antithesis of ours, since they were
doing what We were trying to undo;
that is, to unravel private business
from governmental business On
the contrary, they were linking up
big business with the government
in such a way that makes for an
uneven distribution of wealth, and
only three castles could have sur

government, and that of great
wealth.
