its operation. y.
The machine has a gliding anglia

upon upward currents OF air that
the glider places main dependence
for keeping aloft for more than
brief periods.
In sailing for considerable dis.
lance the glider pilot must know
approximately where he will en-.
counter upward currents. Ploweo
fields and other open spaces where
the heat OF the sun creates a con-
siderable up current, are favorable
places. It Is for this reason that
the charting Of the air currents has
become necessary for the CONNER.

When the places along d certain
route where are currents may be
encountered become known, flights
OF hundreds Of miles and ascents OF
more than four miles may be &C.

He pointed to the hawk and 9th.

The hawk will sail down to a field

In this connection, Doctor Made.

OLD QUARRY TO BE STADIUM
Miniature California Mountain Can Be
Put to Good Use at Compare
lively Small Expense.

A short distance from Oakland, and
marking the terminus Of a popular
driveway along the eastern shore OF
San Francisco bay, Is miniature
mountain covering an area OF about
s acres and 1876 feet in height 1t
has furnished large amount OF ma
terial for building purposes, its bowels
being quarried out in such fashion as
to leave only q shell Of the original
hill.
About a million and a half cubic
yards of stone have been removed by
quarrying from the inside of the hill,
which has been thereby converted into
sort of roofless amphitheater, with
q fiat, smooth floor and an entrance
through one side, represented by
straight and narrow tunnel, this pas
sage of entrance and exit being used
for carrying out the blasted rock in
small cars on rails.
TO some ingenious person the idea
occurred that the hollow hill might
be utilized for stadium, and the
scheme is soon to be carried out, title
having DeeIl ODldlueu ny puiShdS0
from the quarry company. 1t has cost
the company $1,5OO,OO0 to create the
amphitheater as 1t stands (Which Is
so much to the good from the buyers
point of view, and the expense of
putting it in shape for the contem-
plated purpose will be relatively small.
The aforementioned tunnel is to
be converted into an ornamental en-
trance, with concrete columns. Directly
opposite it is vertical cliff more than
100 feet high and 200 feet wide,
against which concrete stage will be
built The floor (providing for a great
arena) will be encircled by concrete
wall, from which concrete seats will
rise in tiers, with six concrete stair
ways.
Everything about the Stone Bowl,

of $4,000 persons, and the arena will
be large enough for football and base

FREDERICK COUNTY TAX BASIS


The taxable basis of Frederick
couny this year is $42,216,441, accord
ing to the computation of figures
made in the Office of the county COM
missioners. The basis this year shows
a net increase of $663,SO2.
The figures on he taxable basis are
computed on the real estate, personal
property and stocks and bonds. The
corporation tax, bank tax, etc., are not
included in these figures as they are
fixed by the State Tax Commission.
When these figures are added, it is en-
pected that the total will be swellec
to over the $52,OOO,OOO mark.
The taxable basis of $l2,216,141 is
divided as follows: Real estate, $50
391, sol; personal property, $S,292, 421;
increase of $663,S02 over the basis last
year is divided as follows: stocks and
bonds, $2S9,14S; real estate, $S5, $40;
personal property, $2SS,7S3.
BY law the tax rate for the coming
year must be determined before mid,
night of June 80. According to an off.
cial in the County Commissioners of,
fee, no decrease in the rate is looked
for AS matter of fact it will not
surprise his official if there is slight
increase in the rate. The rate last
year was $1.41 on the 500.

KNOWN AS PROTESTANT POPE
Sobriquet Bestowed on Clement XIV
When He Suppressed the
Order Of Jesuits.

Pope Clement NV bears the So
briquet of the Protestant Pope" al
though he was by no means mem
Der of the Protestant faith. He earned
this title by bull which he issued in
1913, ordering the suppression of the
Order of the Jesuits. This seemed to
the devOut Catholic a concession to
Professionalism, and thus Clement was
given his title.
The Jesuit order was established
in 1887 by Ignatius Loyola; and Its
chief aim was tc establish the power
of the pope and to preserve it against
the attacks of the Protestants. 1t
grew u be the most powerful society
Of the Roman Catholic church, gain
ing its influence principally through
the excellent schools which its mem
bers founded and maintained. Its
potency grew to such an extent that
the temporal authorities took alarm
and, in 1873, France, Spain, Portugal,
Parma, Naples and Austria prevailed
upon Pope Clement to issue his bull
abolishing the order 1t was re-es
tablished by Pope Plus VII immediate
ly after the fall of Napoleon in 1915,
and is now In a thriving condition in
all countries where the Roman church
has adherents. The order has been
distinguished throughout it's exist
ence for the great learning and schol-
arship possessed by it's members.
