steel Barrels.

If the statements of the makers are
well founded, 1t is probable that steel
barrels will eventually take the place
of wooden ones. The steel barrel Is
composed Of slaves of that material
locked together by an ingenious de-
vice; the hoops and heads are also
Of steel. It is claimed that the steel
barrel Is more durable and more CON-
pact than the wooden one. AS it is
said to be lighter and cheaper, it has
already had favor in various quarters.
About 3OO,OOO.OOO barrels are needed
annually in normal times, to supply
the demand In the United States.
Flour mills use about 9O,0O0,OOO, the
sugar industry 4O,0OO,OO0, and the
cement industry $4,000. 000.- Christian

FACTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST
Revealed by Extensive Excavations
on Sites of Revolutionary Camps
on the Hudson Heights.

Three years Of excavating on sites
Of Revolutionary camps in the Hud-
son highlands, near West Point, has
enabled commission of the New York
Historical society to establish inter-
esting historical facts that have long
been in dispute.
The chief source of information
has been refuseN heaps Of the armed
camps of Washington, and many facts
have been learned merely from ex-
amining the buttons in the old dumps.
Examination Of cooking utensils and
cutlery, broken pottery and other i'm
perishable articles has aided the COM
mission. The buttons, still showing
the insignia after a century and
half, show that ten Massachusetts
regiments, FIVE from Connecticut and
one from Rhode Island, occupied the
main fortress in the highlands. But
tons worn in one camp by Connecticut
soldiers bore an imprint in honor Of
the birth Of the French dauphin, show-
ing that the soldiers were in camp
after 1871.

Mrs. Merriweather and her four
small children lived in a little house

were exceedingly friendly over the
back fence, and made many back-door
calls. Mrs. M. began to worry about
the children and their surroundings
as they grew older, and moved to an
other part Of the town. Shortly after
moving away Geraldine met one Of
the old neighbors who inquired as to
how she liked her new home, and the

Old Age.

To those who have no recourse In
themselves for living well, every age
is burdensome. We must fight against
disease, Regard must be paid to
health. Moderate exercise must DO
adopted. SO much Of meat and drink
must be taken. Senile folly, which IL
commonly called dotage, belongs to
weak old men, but not to all. For, as
/ like young men In which there Is
something Of the old, so 1 like old men
In whom there is something Of the
young. One who always lives in these
pursuits and labors for the welfare Of
the state does not perceive when old
age steals upon him.-Cicero.

disposal OF Sewage From
Naval Academy

The Commission has interviewed
the authorities of, the Naval Academy
concerning the possibility of eifecting
some ARRANGEMENT by which the
limited States Government would CO.
operate in the project for eliminating
Objectionable conditions in the waters
in the neighborhood of Annapolis. NO
great amount OF encouragement was
offered BY those consulted. 1t was
stated. however. that, while the Gov
ernnient probably would not wish TO
contribute to the construction fund, a
definite proposition covering an an
nual charge to be paid for handling
the Academy sewage would be con-
sidered. Such a charge it was recog-
nized would comprise not only the
proportionate expense of maintenance
and operation, but would also include
an annual factor to cover fixed
charges. Under any arrangement to
be concluded with the Naval Academy
authorities the Government would do
such construction within its grounds
as would be necessary TO provide for

THE NEW COUNTY ROAD
FNGINEER

Both the County Commissioners
and their constituents at large are
10 be congratulated on the selection
OF Walter 6. MIunroe as County
Road Engineer. With the APP
proach OF Spring, the need OF fill
ing the vacancy that has existed in
this office for nearly two months
has become more urgent all the
time, as. under the present state of
the law. road operations simply
cannot be carried on in any normal.
business-like way without an engi-
neer.
Therefore, to have this vacancy
filled without further delay, and es-
pecially to have il filled by such a
high-grade appointee. both person
ally and professionally. as Mr..
Munroe, affords deep qualification
and relief TO the whole county. In
agreeing to undertake the arduous
duties, even temporarily. under
present conditions and with the
comparatively meagre salary pre-
scribed by the existing law, it is OBJ
vious that he is making a personal
sacrifice and is actuated by a de-
sire to render helpful public serv-
ice in an emergency situation. For
this, the county owes him 4 debt OF
deep gratitude. which can best be
paid by rendering him sincere and
broad-minded support in his own
efforts to serve the people faith
fully and well. He has a right to
demand this kind of support from
every quarter, and the state OF
mind of the public is such that nc
is more than apt to get it.
Apart from Mr.. Munroe's de
served personal popularity-and
reputation for being clean.
straight forward young man OF
proved ability, his appointment is
especially acceptable because he is
about as far as possible removed
from politics, as the county has
come TO know that word. He does
not understand the language OF the
politician. and does not want to
learn.-for which the patrons Of
good roads will be fervently thank
full. That the members of the
Board feel this way about it. too. is
atteSted by the fact that his Selec-
tion was by a unanimous vote.
With such an suspicious begin
ming, we all wish and predict for
Mr.. Munroe an agreeable and sue
cessful experience i'll his new I'M
dertaking.

SENATOR BRADY'S VALIANT
FIGHT

Although Senator Brady's bill
for a ST 100000 State office build
ing for Annapolis met its fate in
the Senate by the adoption OF the
Finance Committees unfavorable
report. the Anne Arundel Senator
made a most valiant fight for it
from the beginning of the session,
against overwhelming odds. And
he almost succeeded in turning the
tide. Single-handed. with all the
zeal of crusader, he waged the
campaign on behalf OF Annapolis
and actually got within striking dis
tance OF his goal by having the bill
first come out on the floor of the
Senate with a favorable report 1t
was only after Baltimore city had
brought all of its heavy legislative
artillery into the action. coupled
with renewed drive by its news
papers. that the bill was gotten back
10 the committee and made ready
for the sacrifice.
Senator Brady's colleagues in
the Senate pay tribute to him for
the splendid fight he made for the
bill, and so much the more should
his fellow-townsmen do so and ex-
press their appreciation of his eff
forts in the city's behalf.

Recommended Procedure

In an undertaking In which so many
political bodies are involved, the adj
ministration must be representative.
Since the State. county and city are
ali concerned in the consummation OF
the plan in the present instance. the
administrative body should properly
include a representative of each. IL is
recommended. therefore. that such a
body be constituted. the members pre-
ferably TO be appointed by the Cover
nor This board shall do not only all
necessary preliminary work. but
should also have charge of the con-
struction OF the system and later on of
its maintenance and operation. 1t
should be empowered to determine the
equitable distribution of construction
and operation costs among the several
contributing parties and should be en-
abled, if it deems such action advis-
able. To negotiate cooperative ar
rangement with the United States Gov
eminent.
1t would be unwise. perhaps. 10 at
tempt. before the 1924 session of the
General Assembly, TO do more than
make the necessarily extensive sur
veys. prepare the contract drawings,
thoroughly investigate sub surface
conditions and existing structures, OF
which there is little knowledge and no
record, secure options on the neces-
sary land, and determine upon a prac-
ticable financial scheme and division
Of costs Until these financial con-
sidcrations have been fully provided
for. il would not be desirable TO un-
dertake any actual construction work
In order to make It possible to COM
plete the work outlined in the proceed
ing paragraph, funds should be made
Immediately available TO the commits
! sion. Possibly the accomplishment of
these results would be brought about
most promptly by having the State
provide initially for these expenses,
with the understanding that such ex
penditures would be later adjusted in.
accordance with the distribution of
charges to be determined upon by the
commission.
The present Commission recon-
mends particularly that the necessary
and proper legislation to make it pos,
sible to do the preliminary work here
in outlined be enacted at the presen;.
session OF the General Assembly. By
so doing, impetus will be given to the
final completion of the project, the
construction OF which might thea be
started in 1924
In conclusion. it should be pointed
on. that the collection and disposal Of
