 OLD CzARIST ACT

Riga. Aug. 30.-Reviva1 by the Russian Soviet government of the old CZarist administrative exile'' has re- stored to the political police the Che ka's successors, the power of dealing secretly with the Soviet's enemies.

STATE SCHOOLS ALL
HAVE SUPERVISORS
Every County Equipped For First
Time In Observation-Disclosures
For Each.

For the first time in the history
of Maryland every county in the
State is supplied with a supervising
teacher and for the first time in ten
years every teacher in the State pos
scsses a permanent certificate.
These announcements were made
Tuesday at the Office of Dr.. Albert
S. Cook, State Superintendent of
Schools. The number of supervising,
or helping, teachers in the State has
been on the gradual increase since
1916, prior to which time the appoint
ment was optional with the county.
During the war teachers went into
various forms of more remunerative
employment, and the schools were
taught for the most part by persons
Professionally certifcated. Since then
the school authorities have been
working toward the raising of the

OCEAN CITY PLANS
FOUR MORE JETTIES
One Already Built Had Added Large
Beach Area To The Resort
Winter Storm Severe.

Senator Orlando Harrison
telegfaphed The Messenger yes
terday that the State Roads
Commission had contracted for
four new jetties to be built at
Ocean City at once.
Chairman John \. Mackall Of the
State Roads Commission said Monday
that after an inspection of the effect
of the building of one jetty at Ocean
City four more would be constructed.
The Legislature of 1920 made an
appropriation for the construction of
!ietties on the theory that they would
he the means of saving the beach
from further encroachment by the
ocean. Several years ago winter
storm almost wiped out the town and
walk and the cottages.
The jetty now built is Of piling
driven for 800 feet at right angle TO
the beach and then turning north for
an equal length in 200-foot radius,
making sort of hook. This work
was finished early in the summer and
Mr.. Mackall says It has been found
that the sand has filled around the
piling TO the height of five feet, max
ing an obstruction to the north and
south current.
II has also been found that the
beach has built itself up for a dis
tance of 800 feet north and south of
the jetty and that at point where
great damage was done to the cot
tages by the storm there is now $50
feet of dry sand. At a point about
800 feet south, in the vicinity of
Cropper's bathhouses, there is now
about 100 feet of dry beach.
Mr.. Mackall is convinced that the
ietty has had the effect of breaking
the current and building up the
beach at the same time and that adj
ditional jetties will give the town a
permanent and safe beach.

the teaching of pure Americanism
