official announcement Great Brit
ain during the last two years has
succeeded in reducing her exter-
nal debt By nearly a billion dol
lars. During the past year she
has paid about S3J0, 600 900 to the
United States alone, or almost a
million dollars a day. During the
fiscal wear her income exceeded
her expenditures BY S.l00.-
600. 900. This showing IS all the
more remarkable in that there has
been a gradual reduction OF taxa
ton. A long step forward has
been taken in the removal OF the
excess profits tax. Numerous
practical economies have enabled
the British government TO tighten
the burden of the taxpayer and

HORSES BRAVE UNDER FIRE
Animals Displayed Remarkable Cool
ness Even When Subjected to the
Eaemy's Heaviest 6srrace.

The noble horse Is very calm AMI
nal under stormy or dangerous cir
cumxtances. A remarkable example
of the coolHess displayed by horses
amid the din of war was shown at
the front i'm France, and the soldiers
who had the opportunity 10 personally
observe the attitude of the faithful
horse while under slleh-fire can realize
what an indispensable role was played
in the World war by cur good old do
nestle friends. Joseph r. Schadel
writes in Our Dumb Animals.
While serving on the front In France
was more than once astonished and
impressed by the actions of horses
when the shells began to burst and the
deadly gas spread its fatal wings over
the field of battle. One pigit netr
Chateau-Thierry, a heavy barthge be
gan TO fan in our vicinity. and the
horses. which were also open to tile
danger, did not scatter or run. In
stead. three of them. following the
example of the soldiers, lay down
promptly and waited until the Smelling
was over. Only one of them was killed,
and that poor fellow had remained
standing.
Another time, while moving along
road that was under enemy Observa-
ton. the shells started 10 burst on
both sides of our column. But the
good old horses plodded on; the great
est bravery was shown, and, FORUM
ately, none was lost. In time, ] hope.
there viii be more space allotted in
history to the excellent part which
horses played in the late war. Only
the highest praise would be their just
dues.

PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK
SocioIcoist Says the Newspapers Make
Life Hard for Criminals of
Every Description.

"Blarle the newspapers for making
the role of the criminal harder today
than II was twenty or thirty years
ago" said NJ. c. Elmer of the sOciolo-
gy department University of Minneso-
To. according to the Minneapolis News.
'"The swindler of few years lack
had Q dOwny feather bed TO lie on
compared to followers of his footsteps
today" he continued. I'm those days,
the same gang would work a skin game
In one town a week, and then move
to the next stop and do the, same thing
sthe following week. Not now, how
ever. The newspaper is the barrier.
If clever swindle is worked in Mex
leo or Honolulu the news is on the
wires at once, and the whole world
knows it in couple of hours, and the
little game Is killed"
4 Contrary tc general opinion, crime
Is not any greater in proportion to
population today than twenty years
ago, according to Mr.. Elmer. 1t is
just that the number Of criminals has
, increased with the growth of popula-
ton. he said.
Mr.. Elmer exploded another popular
. fancy when he. said that he believes
that criminals are not any holder
today than in years past.

THE big jobs. are given wide publicity
and seem larger in the public mind
than those of the past. But it isn't
SO. The James boys, the Youngers,

nerve and put over jobs in their days

TRACING movement Of Birds.

The desire to learn what become Of
birds that flew south with the approach
of cold weather led Audubon, the great

threads about the legs of brood OF
phoebes. The following spring he was
rewarded by having two of the birds
return to nest near the haunts where
they learned TO fly.
This occurred early in the Nine
teenth century, and was the first
known case in America Of bird band
ing. Since that time this means OF

LETTER TO EDITOR
Mr.. p. Ii. Cooper Advocates City
Ordinance Protecting MIX supply


To the Editor Of the EUcaia0 Capital:
For some years | have wondered
thar the citizens OF Annapolis through
the Civic League or otherwise have
taken no steps towards an ordinance
regulating the character of milk sold
within the city. So far as / have
heen able to observe the public has
| been more interested in cheapness
/ han quality. Many persons to whom
| have mentioned the subject seem to
have been under the impression that
there was some law requiring the tu-
beroular testing of cows: would
like TO take this opportunity OF set
ting out tire fact that such is not the
case and that it is purely optional in
this State as TO whether cows be test
ed or not. To the lest OF my knowl-
edge there are but four dairymen fur
nishing bottled milk TO the Annapolis
public from tut erculin tested herds
In view of the prevalence among cat
lie OF this affection it means that milk
is daily being consumed by infants,
invalids and others from cows whose
syst. ms are permeated with tubercu-
tiosis and the general medical opinion
today is that the disease can be trans
mitted 10 the human being: a check
ep and test applied to the untested
herds would probably reveal a deplor-
able condition of affairs: without the
Test as properly applied there is gen.
orally no external way of culling out
unhealthy animals and frequently the
most apparently healthy looking ami
NAL will he tubercular in most all OF
her organs. The failure 10 have ones
herd tested is criminal as is ind
Gated by the fact that there IS $4,000
fine under State Law for selling milk
rom a tubercular animal.
Through the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. T. s. Dept of Agriculture and
Maryland Live Stock and Agriculture
Commission the machinery for having
ones herd properly inspected is abso-
lureiy simple and actually involves no
expense unless an animal be condemn
ed. in which case the slaughter house
for hers at once as per previously
signed agreement with the Depart
nen: In addition to having your herd
called of diseased animals: your dairy
methods and feeds are scored thus Of
feriag still further protection TO. the
public.
Many progressive cities are now
passing ordinances. where State Laws
do not protect their people, prevent
ing the sale of milk within their linn
its anless from herds producing prop
aer evidence OF the ubereulin test hav-
ing l.een regularly applied by proper
authorities. Such an ordinance is a
safeguard TO the health of the commu-
nifty ana costs it nothing. If some
we ioilg the right thing and others
are unwilling or indifferent they
should ie forced to take steps to in
sure thai lhe sale of their product is
no; menace to the health of their
customers.
Careful health charts kept at the
Naval Academy aftSr the Naval Acad-
envy dairy was started showed a mark
ed decrease i'm sickness which was, at

suit would be shown in tire city

REAL TREAT FOR IMMIGRANTS
Ice Cream Something New to Arrivals
at Ellis island, but They
Finally Liked It.

Immigrant struggles with American
food on Ellis Island reached a climax
when Commissioner Wallis introduced
plates of ice cream to the loo diners.
The idea behind the ice cream was 10
give the immigrants real treat ON
their reaching the land of promise.
What happened was marvel to wit
ness. The first persons. served were
Balkin native and a native OF
East India. The East Indian took Il
lick and liked ii. He looked around
and saw that the Balkan opposite him
had a bigger piece. Greedily he
grabbed for ii. Then the fight began.
Both got well smeared in the face with
the food
The other diners touched the ice
cream. and finding 1t cold, thought
they knew the trick. The stunt was
TO smear the cold substance on your
neighbor'S face. This happened sew
eral times. Then someone tasted the
ice cream and with whoop an
nounced it was mamma too precious TO
be wasted on countenances. The head
steward said the same thing in the
eight languages he speaks. The face
smearing ceased abruptly.
But the final experiment was Yet
TO be made. The real genius of the
meal took up his knife and piece a.
bread and spread the new butter ten
derby over It. He started the fashion
with bang. and all the rest enjoyed
their ice cream that way.-New York
