TRAVEL INQUIRIES
 DISGUST AMERICANS
Delays in Getting Past Customs
 Men AggraVatins

Olderzaal, Holland, Sept. 15.-"1t -sn't the same old Europe. I am go- ,ng to stay at home next summer" a tired, middle-aged American woman exclaimed after she had finished the three-hour enduranc test necessary to work through the customs and pass port control at Bentheim, Germany, and had finally filtered through the Dutch control at Oldenzaal and found a place in the train bound tor The Hague.
 T am used to travelling. I know enough German and French to take care of language difficulties, but this postwar passport and customs busi- ness is too much for me- the wom- an continued. II have been in Italy, Jugoslavia, Austria Czechoslava, Ba- varia, France and Germany since May and my nerves are al lfrayed out by border annoyances Travel in Europe isn't pleasure any more. It's an end less chase for Nisas and police papers and battle royal with border off

cials, usually at three o'clock in the morning and this year 1t has gem erally been in the rain"
 The Bentheim and Oldenzaal fron- tier is neither and worse nor any bet ter than most of the other crossings into Germany. Travellers to and from Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, France and Czechoslavakia have much the same struggle that takes place daily on this border. Belgium is the only country in Western Europe which has waived all pass port regulations and is apparently striving to make the life of tourists easier
 So a description of this American woman's experience in making her way from Germany into Holland is typical of what travellers encounter at nearly every boundary, and boun- daries have been created with amaz- ins speed since the world was last in peace.
 To begin with. this American wom . an put in half day in Berlin check ing herself out with the police, and obtaining a Dutch visa, and slfea had to do this personally It was not possible to have commissioner from the hotel attend to these formalities. Also she had to delay her departure for two days because it was impos- sible to get sleeping accommodations and if she had taken a day train the struggle with customs and passport control would have been at night, an ordeal which experience in Southern Europe had taught her to avoid if possible.

GAS MASKS FOR TRAINNEN.
Railroaders May Wear Respirators fin
 Smokey Tunnels.

Washington, Sept 14-Experi- ments in various types of gas masks for trainmen working in poorly ven- tilated tunnels where smoke and gases from the engine collect, have resulted in the development of a small pocket canister type of mask which the United States bureau of mines declares is suited for this work.
 Many workmen and trainmen have been overcome by the gases cast off in the smoke of locomotives in such tunnels. Experiments with the army type of masks proved these were too bulky and this resulted in the devel- opment of the smaller mask which government officials and trainmen declare has been a success The mask is filled with an absorbent mix ture of activated charcoal and soda lime, and contains filters of toweling It is designed to retain its effective ness for months.

FRENCH RADIO IS
 LARGEST ERECTED
Wireless Station Is Described as
 Greatest in World

Paris, Sept. 15.-Another step in the plan to moor the new world alongside tn cold has been taken here by the opening of the great French wireless station at Saint-Assise This is described as the biggest wireless station in the world, and 1t has a capacity, it's builders say, of 100000 words a day. Messages have already been sent at the rate of 80 words a minute with perfect clearness and when the equipment is completed it will be possible to send five or six messages simultaneously with a total output of 500 words minute.
 New Control System
 Saint-Assise, which in future will carry the bulk of wireless communi- cation between France and America, is worked from the center of Paris by means of long distance control system. The central office near the Paris Stock Exchange by means of six receiving centers in the suburbs, picks up messages destined for transmission from Saint-Assise and automatically passes them on across the Atlantic.
 This station is 35 times as powerful as the Eiffel Tower station. In ad1i- ton to messages sent to New York direct communication has already been established with Argentina and China, and when the post is complete ly equipped it will be clearly heard in the south remotest recesses of Ala ska and the southern extremities of South A L. the plant say the system used is sev- eral years in advance of that of the United States or of Germany. The wires are supported on seven pylons each S20 feet high.

is PROHIBITION A FAILURE
SOME FACTS.


/. Two years of national prohibit
ton has reduced the number OF
drinkers of alcoholic beverages from
20, O0O, 900 to $500, 900, a decrease
of 17,5OO,O00, says Federal Prohi-
bition Commissioner Haynes.
2. Only Is per cent of former
drinkers are drinking now and these
are drinking but five per cent the
quantity of liquor that was formerly
consumed, says Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes.
8. The same authority states that
the entire drink bill of the nation
has decreased $4,000, 100000 a year.
This money formerly spent for drink
has gone into savings banks or has
been spent in legitimate lines for
/ necessary commodities.
4. The year 1921, the second of
| the prohibition regime, was the
healthiest in the United States, &C
cording to figures submitted by
| thirty-seven leading insurance COM
| panies transacting about 80 per cent
| of the life insurance business of the
country.
5. The Federal Comptroller of the
Currency is authority for the state
ment that more than 900 mutual
savings banks show gains both in
number of depositors and volume OF
| deposits during the last fiscal year.
| Prominent banks in every section of
| the country testify that prohibition
/ has promoted the thrift movement as
shown by increased savings.
Judge Kent Greene, president of
| the Washingtonian Home Associa-
| ton, the oldest operating association
| of its kind in America, is reported
to have said that the Chicago home
| is the only one out of sixty or more
l in the country to survive and that its
slim patronage makes its future
| doubtful.
z. The report of the Board of
Charities of the District of Columbia
for the fiscal year 1921 shows a con-
tinued decline in the population OF
| the workhouse and other correction
al and reform institutions. The
chairman of the committee on Re
| formatories and Correctional Insti-
buttons and others, says: ''The most
encouraging fact to be noted in con-
nection with the workhouse is that
during the past year, the daily av-
erage Of prisoners was only 208 as
compared with 334 the preceding
year. This is the lowest number
recorded since the. establishment of
the new workhouse at Occoquan,
| eleven years ago."

HAS EYE ON GOVERNORS CHAIR

State Treasurer John NJ Dennis
having diverted his hat from the
Senatorial ring, the gossip is that
this figurative millinery may be
SHE'D, at fitting moment, into the
Gubernatorial arena, the Baltimore
News reports. Mr.. Dennis, accord
ing to an impression among his
friends, would like to be Governor;
he has indicated plainly enough that
he will not be candidate for the
United States Senate. While Mr..
Dennis was never an avowed candi-
date for this latter office, recent de-
velopments seemed to forecast that
such would be his destiny and that
in it's fulfillment he would have the
support of former Senator John
Walter Smith and of the Estate ma

would be the man whom the State
leaders would use to beat Richie,
should the Governor enter the Sena-
va luA 4AoIo LII tAO OClAOCId llC
nation. Should the Governor not
enter, so much the better.
An uncertain factor in the Sena-
torial situation at present, so far as
the Democrats are concerned, is
former Senator John Walter Smith
The former Senator's friends are ad-
vising him, are urging him, not to
run; and they seem to think that he
will follow their counsel. However
Senator Smith has made no public
utterance as to his future course,
and his reticence is thought likely
not to be prematurely broken. Some
of the city leaders are convinced,
however, that Senator Smith will
again seek seat in the Senate.

The State Enforcement Bill with
Referendum added, passed the SEN
ate Wednesday of last week by a
vote of 23 to 4. The Referendum
Amendment was added after a Wig
orous debate, by IA to IL. The bill
now goes to the House for it's con-
sideration.
This virtually means a victory for
the vets, headed by the Baltimore
liquor ring.
The House had previously passed
the bill overwhelmingly without the
referendum, which was tackled onto
it in the Senate by the vets, for the
purpose of killing it. The predic;
ton is freely made that the House
will refuse to concur, and Mary
land will remain antagonistic to the
Federal Prohibition Constitution be.
cause the powers that be are under
control and entirely in sympathy
with the powerful Baltimore we
interests.
Even should the House concur, j
is the opinion that the Court Of
Appeals will declare the referendum
stuck on the Enforcement measure
10 be unconstitutional.
The Cecil county delegation, will
the exception of Squier, of Port De
post, voted dry. The. Honorable
Mr.. Squier, representing a dry
county, chose to cast his lot with this
wet ring.
AS had been expected the State
enforcement bill, carrying an amend
ment calling for a referendum, wa:
killed in the House on Tuesday.
The vote on motion in the lower
body to concur was 4S for, and 5:
against. By the same vote the
House later tabled message from
the Senate calling for appointment
of a conference committee. The
later rollcall definitely put the
measure out Of the way.

The Pneumonia Month.

March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives high rate
of mortality for the disease. After
. long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every
cold, no matter how slight, is given
prompt and intelligent attention,
there is much less danger of pneu-
monia. 1t should be borne in mind
that pneumonia is a germ disease
and breeds in the throat. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is an ex-
pectorant and. cleans out the germ
ladened mucus and not only cures a
cold but prevents its resulting in
pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to take.
Children take 1t willingly.

NATIONWIDE FIGHT AGAINST
"OILED" MILK.

A strong moral wave is rolling
over the country against the imlta-
ton milk traffic. Every day scores
of letters are pouring in to Congress
men from their constituents urging
speedy action on the Voigt Bill. II,
R. 8O86, to prohibit the movement
in interstate commerce and export
to foreign lands of oiled milk. And
every day additional Congressman
are declaring themselves for this
measure. They have been particul-
arly impressed by the number 81
women's organizations that are put
ting themselves on record against
the continuation of the traffic. They
have also come to realize that the
agricultural districts are aroused
and determined to have federal as
we'll as state legislation.
Prohibitory or restrictive state
laws dealing with this problem have
been passed in the states of Ohio,
Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon,
Wisconsin, Maryland and Florida.
Legislation is pending in New York,
New Jersey, Virginia and Kentucky.
Representatives of the National Milk
Producers Federation and it's mem
Der organizations are keeping in
close touch with the nationwide
fight.

Those who oppose additional tax
alton at this time for bonus to the
ex-service men are inclined to sym
pathize with President Harding in
his opposition to the present form OF
the bonus bill, but it has been the
Presidents indecision and his play
ing fast and loose with this and
other questions that have helped to
bring about the state of affairs in his
party. He was for high tariff bill
at once. No high tariff bill nor any
other kind of tariff bill has been
passed, and he is not urging that
any be passed. He stood for a re-
duction of the higher surraxes to 81
per cent, pleaded for a compromise
at 40 per cent, and then accepted SO
per cent. He has at least pretended
to be for bonus all along, but II
was himself who prevented the pas
sage of bonus bill in the Senate
and he has not yet acquiesed in any
feasible plan for the payment of a
bonus. 1t is the irony fate that the
"Wiggle and Wobble" cartoon OF
the last campaign, to which the Re-
publicans attributed such a large
measure of their success, that its
creator was made Chairman of the
Shipping Board, should now be made
to apply in such an embarrassing
way to President Harding himself.

The House of Delegates on Friday
defeated the bill repeating the full
crew law by vote of 48 to 40. 1t
failed to receive a Constitutional
majority.
The measure, which repeats the
law requiring the railroads to fur
nish an extra brakeman for all
freight trains of over 80 cars, has
been passed by the Senate, where il
was amended to give the Public Ser
vice Commission jurisdiction over
all disputed cases, the right of APP
peal to the Commission being grant
ed to both the railroads and employ
ees.
The repeal of the full-crew law
has been bitterly fought at Annapolis
by the brotherhoods and represent
atives of union labor.
If the House vote of Friday is not
changed on the motion to recon
slider, the bill is dead. A total OF
81 votes is necessary to pass it, as
the Constitution provides that all
measures must receive a majority OF
the whole House to pass and not
merely a majority of those voting.
The amended bill repeating the
full crew law, one of the most bit
terly fought measures of the presen;
session, was passed by the House
Tuesday, the vote being So to 40.
The bill has been passed by the
Senate and it now goes to the Gov
ernor for his signature.

Governor McRae, of Arkansas
proclaimed March % as a mo tobac-
co day" in the state. The governor
requested that citizens take strong
action in the movement against the
use of tobacco in all forms, and that
they enroll public schools and col
leges in a campaign of education
He declared that the general use OF
tobacco, generation after generation
is promoting degeneracy in the hu.
man race, and that the movement
against the habit is not one for the
courts, but for organized society, fol-
educators and moralists.

MARYLAND FARM STATISTICS
Farm Land Values Still On Down
Grade.

Farm Land Values Still On Down
Grade.
Reserves of grain on Maryland
farms on March this year were
somewhat less than on same date
during the past two years, says
John S. Dennee, agricultural stats
tician for the United States Bureau
of Markets and Crop Estimates.
According to the statist, the sup
ply of last years corn crop remain
ing in the hands of Maryland farm
ers on March was estimated a.
12,326,000 bushels, against 49,
$4,000 a year ago. About Sc per
cent of the 1921 corn crop was o.
merchantable quality. The average
of farm price on March /, as re-
ported by farmers, is SO cents per
bushel, against "a cents a year ago,
and 1852 cents two years ago.
OF the 100000 bushels of wheat
produced last year only 1,193,00U
bushels, about Is per cent, remain
ed in farmers hands on March L.
1922, against 3,05O,O0O bushels one
year ago. Average price reported
received by Maryland farmers for
wheat on March / this year was 12S
cents per bushel, as compared with
ITO cents last year, and 240 cents
year before last.
Less oats remained on the FARMS
486,000 bushels against $4,000 a
year ago. Oats production during
1921 is estimated to have beer
1920, 900 bushels.
About $4,000 of the 10000
bushels of barley grown in 1921 re
manned on the farms on March !.
this year.
Farm land values in Maryland
continue their downward trend am
are rapidly approaching the levels OF
1917. For the most part the depre.
citation is attributed to the low
prices farm produce is now com.
handing, rather than to any real de
probation of the intrinsic worth o.
the land itself. The average value
of pillow lands now and two years
ago are as follows: poor pillow lands
$1,000 and $4,000 per acre; good
pillow lands $500 and $4,000; all
pillow lands $4,000 and $4,000. Tho
average price per acre of farm lands
with improvements is $1,000 against
$1,000 two years ago; and farm
lands without improvements $47.00
against $4,000.
Few farms in Maryland rent on a
cash basis, the custom being to rent
on shares. Where cash rates pre-
vail over the State farmers returns
indicate that the average cash rem
paid per acre for farms is $500.
and the average value per acre of
such farms is $4,000. The average
cash rent paid per acre for pillow
land is $500, and the average value
per acre of such land is $64.O0.
Pasture or grazing lands command
an average cash rent per acre or
$2.5O, and the average value per
acre of such land is given as $41.0O.
