neasD Tax ExemptIon Asked

State Comptroller Gordy asked the
Attorney General for ruling on a
claim for exemption on the gasoline
tax of one cent gallon made by the
United States Industrial Chemical
Company of this city.
1t appears that the Chemical Com
pany thinks the State owes it money
because it paid the tax on alcohol
mixed with gasoline and some of
which mixture as motor fuel was sold
outside the State.
1t further appears that the company
named buys its gasoline from oil
manufacturing companies and mixes
it with alcohol. The gasoline manu-
featuring company collects the tax on
the gasoline, but there is also a tax
collectable on the alcohol when sold
as motor fuel
Assistant Attorney General Allan
H. Fisher said that on the statement
of facts presented the company was
not entitled to rebate.

To Link Farms To Markets OF CITY.

To Link Farms To Markets OF City.
Baltimore
A move of probably far-reaching i'm
portance in bringing Maryland farm
ers and Baltimore produce dealers
into closer relationship is about to be
launched under auspices of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. 1t contemplates ownership and
control of wholesale distributing agen-
cies through farmers cooperative as
sociations and creation of an impair
tial auditing, reporting or accounting
service as between farmers and deal
ers.
To study the plan committee COM
posed of many of the most prominent
men in the counties has been named
by the Maryland Agricultural Society
to meet similar body representative
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
The problem the committee expects
to solve is how to establish spirit of
confidence between farmers and pro-
duce men, which now is lacking to the
detriment Of both. The first move
was made on June 20, when A. S.
Goldsborough, secretary of the city
association, approached Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover and Secretary
Agriculture Wallace seeking solu-
ton.
The interest taken by the Federal
officials led to recommendation that
| the association communicate with
Alexis L. Clark, chief of the Bureau
of Markets, Department of Agricul-
ture of New Jersey, who has made a
study Of cooperative marketing. Mr.
Clark's reply, just received, in part is
as follows:
Methods and practices of food dis
tribution are responsible for ire
mendous economic loss to this coun-
| try.
zone of the fundamental factors
responsible for this waste and loss
| is the lack of confidence between
producer and dealer. In the business
of handling farm products at whole
sale, there are two lines which hold
out promises Of economy and eff
cheney in the future. These are:
First, the ownership and control
of wholesale distributing agencies
through Farmers Cooperative Assoc
Citations, and second, commission bust
ness in which the producers conf
dence is maintained by some form of
impartial auditing, reporting or ac-
counting service.
Standardization of farm products,
scientific distribution, economical
wholesaling and retailing are all vital
problems in food marketing which are
now held back in a general way, be.
cause between the producers and the
cause Of this lack of confidence be-
tween the producers and the dealers"
The Agricultural Society has named
Orlando Harrison, Berlin; c. G. Gel
der, Princess Anne; A. B. Highly,
Trappe: F. B. Bomberger, College
Park; F. w. Mish, Hagerstown; j. w
Jones, Olney, and G. I. Gardiner, Bal
timore, with D. G. Harry and T. B..
Symons, officers of the society, acting
ex-officio
The committee Of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association will
consist of J., c. Leib, D. B. Stewart,
W. A. Gillespie, o. K. Quivey, E. S.
Nelson, Asa B. Gardiner and Eugene
Blackford, with w. E. Homes and A.
S. Goldsborough as ex-officio members.
The joint committee will begin its
sittings as soon as feasible, and it is
expected that some tangible method
of adjustment will be arrived at in
the course of few weeks.

Leather His Hobby

One Of the curious American char.
acters Of the last century was the
"Old Leather Man" who for nearly
30 years tramped over eastern New
York and Connecticut clad almost en-
tirely in leather. His home was in q
cave near Sing Sing, where he was
found dead in 1889. He did occa-
sional jobs Of plumbing, and never
accepted any recompense but food and
tobacco.
He was said to have been made in
sane by an unfortunate love affair in
France when he was a young man.
According to the story, he won the
heart Of the daughter Of a wealthy
leather merchant and entered into her
fathers business to prove his WORTH
ness. He speculated in leather and
when the market in that commodity
crashed, his prospective father-In-law
was ruined and his own hopes were
shattered. This unhinged his mind. and
he determined to spend the rest of his
life wandering around the countryside
clothed In leather. His name was
Jules Bourglay.

FIND CHEESE SUBTLE THING
Reason That Is Advanced for the APP
parent lmpossibiIity Of Initiating
the Genuine Camembert.

A man interested in agricultural
products wanted to make cheese Of
the type of Camembert, but while he
had the same ferment, employed the
same methods and used what seemed
TO be the same kind of milk. neither he
nor anyone else In this country OBJ
tanned the same result.
On visiting France he found that the
makers of the cheese in question were
very particular about their milk, OBJ
tanning it from the dairymen Of a GER
tain district only. In the fields of these
farmers there grew, he found. sprink-
ling Of certain grasses that he did not
find elsewhere, and it is possible, and
even likely, that these make the subtle
difference In the milk that shows in
the cheese which distinguishes the gen.
uine from the artificial product.
And yet, the special grasses were
only incidental; they were not the
main grasses Of the pasture, which
were the same as those found else
where.-Ellwood Hendrick In Harpers

HOW FIRST LOCK WAS MADE
Seveiopment OF 'ne Key Reveals an
interesting Story Of Ages Long
Passed Away.

Inc modern lock is a development
or the horizontal bar placed ross
the inside of the door. This was a
good substitute for a lock when one
remained inside. and to adjust 1t SO
that 1t would fall into place when the
door was closed from the outside was
comparatively simple, but to lift the
bar from the outside when one wished
10 enter, was the problem. This was
accomplished by fitting hole into the
door post, through which something
designed to lift the bar was inserted.
ihls was the first keyhOle and the
instrument used In lifting the bar
was the first key, says the Brooklyn
Daily Eagle.
The simplest idea for preventing
the bar from sliding was TO bore a
mole In the top of the bar, which
would also penetrate the staple on
which 1t rested, and drop a peg into
the hole through the staple The I'M
locking problem could be accom-
plished by any instrument which would
HIT the peg and permit the bar to
slide back. Then If series of pegs
were used, all OF which had to be
lifted, unlocking would be more diff
ncult. In our modern locks. the pegs
have simply been replaced by "tum-
blers" on which the key acts in the
same way. The key originally had |
wooden pegs fastened TO correspond /
with the pegs holding the bar in place |
on the inside, and these pins developed |
into the notches which are on our
modern keys. As there were no
pockets in those days the other end
of the key was made into a ring and
worn on the finger. That is why the
keys Of today usually have a ring at
The end-just a relic Of the past.
