been appointed for the Chance Marine
Construction Company, which con-
ducts marine railway and mill work

answer, that while the company is
carrying heavy Indebtedness, yet it is
thoroughly solvent; that it has claims
against the United States Shipping
Board amounting to $91 ,SS6.32; that
the business has been a paying con-
cern. and asks that it be allowed to con-
tinue business. Mention is also made
of the fact that Congress recently
passed an act appropriating $780,
100000 to settle all claims against the
Shipping Board, and that the COM
pany now has available $4,000,
to liquidate some of its Indebtedness.

EXPERIMENT STATION
EMPLOYEES APPRECIATE
STEAMER LEAVING CITY

An innovation made by Admiral
Wilson in the interest of the en-
ployees OF the Engineering Expert
ment Station which seems to have
gone almost unnoticed in Annapolis,
but which is proving popular with
the employees. is the sailing of the
Shadyside from the foot of Main street
instead of from Phlox Landing. Naval
Academy, as heretofore.
A recent canvass of the Station
shows that over S5 per cent of those
concerned are in favor of the new
scheme. The authorities say that this
guarantees a continuance of the plan
unless something unforeseen occurs to
cause a change; for increased con-
tentment OF personnel means increas-
ed efficiency.

HOUSE VOTES AID
TO j. S. EMPLOYEES
SIXTY YEARS OLD

The House of Congress has passed
legislation extending provisions
of the retirement act to govern
ment employees sixty years old who
have served the government fifteen
years. Many of these were recently
dismissed.
To assist the men who were dis
missed from the government service
without notice after having served
within few months OF their retire
ment period, Representative Benjamin
Fairchilds. New York, introduced the
bill which provides that "any en-
ploye who has become separated from
the service through no delinquency
on his part and who after serving fif-
teen years has reached the age of
sixty years shall be granted an an
nuity certificate by the Commission
er of Pensions"
Upon passage it is provided that
the bill shall become retroactive to
include the Navy Yard employees who
were dismissed as a result of the
arms conference.
Effort was made by Representative
James Begg, of Ohio. to have the bill
amended to include men SO years old,
but the amendment was voted down,
"a to SO.
Representative ]. Charles Linthi-
cum, of Maryland, spoke in favor of
the bill and deplored the wholesale
dismissals at the Navy Yard and the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
Representative James Mann, of H.
linois, opposed the bill, insisting that
the government is under no obliga-
tions to government employees, and
should not be expected to offer re.
lief to them all the rest of their
lives.

FOUR BIG ROOMS FOR
CITY HIGH BUILDING

Indicating the splendid progress
that is being made In improvements
to public schools throughout Anne
Arundel county, there are now avail
able approximately so class rooms
equally as commodious as those OF
the new school at Millersville, dedi-
Gated a few days ago, Prof. George
Fox. County Superintendent OF
Schools, announced today. This num-
ber includes improvements under way
lat Glen Burnie and the Annapolis
High School, to the latter of which
four additional rooms are being con-
structed. These new rooms will
house about half of the white school
children of the county.
Additions and improvements along
all lines are being made to all county
school buildings. The work is pro-
crossing finely, and Superintendent
Fox says that all should be in good
shape and ready for occupancy by the
time the next school session begins I'm
September.
improvements Countrywide
Practically every school in the
county has long since outgrown ac-
commodations because OF the greatly
| increased number OF scholars, and i'm
many instances the class rooms have
been crowded to such an extent as to
greatly interfere with class work.
The city high school furnished a
notable instance of this situation.
hence provision being made for four
| large class rooms to the present
structure on Green street. AS hith-
erto noted, the local school will have
record freshmen class upon the re-
opening OF school, as a total of liz
students completed their grammar
course during the late session and the
majority of them will enter the high
er studies.
| Taking care of the steadily increas-
| ing number of students presented a
serious problem for several years.
hence the benefits OF the School Bond
law by which the several communities
were enabled to contribute to the dis
count on the bonds, and thereby Sc
cure the necessary funds to carry out
the general scheme for school i'm
provements.

Local Highways Becoming
Long Haul Thoroughfares

ISe United States is now in a per-
iod OF great highway development.
and in a few years many roads which
now carry only local traffic originat-
ing largely within or 10 miles of
the road will be carrying a large
percentage of through traffic, much
Of it coming from outside the state.
This is the opinion of officials of the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
based upon the report of two traffic
eensuses taken by the bureau in CO.
operation with the State Highway
Department OF Connecticut.
The roads selected were part of a
fairly complete system of highways.
The FIRST census showed an average
of 1,907 passenger care and 2S1
trucks passing the recording station
day, and the second, 3,S32 cars
and J11 trucks. Forty-seven per
cent of the cars came from without
| tiaa state Drivers were questioned
! as to length of travel for the day
and results showed average figures
Of 20 miles and 52.4 miles for the
two censuses.

MANY USES now Being FOUND FOR
SOAPSTONE- GREAT AMOUNT Wasted

stone quarrying is to produce, large
sound, rectangular blocks with
minimum Of waste. The problems
here then are almost identical with
marble quarrying, with the exception
that soapstone is usually softer than
marble and that on account need be
taken of the figures or patterns that
add to the value of polished marble.
The methods Of quarrying, handl-
ing, saving, dressing, rubbing and
and polishing Of soapstone therefore
follow very closely those used in the
marble industry
In the past soapsJone has been
used extensively for pots and ket
ties, stoves, fireplace Innings, foot
warmers and for 1rebrick and is still
so utilized to some extent. However
the principal use To-Day are for labor
atory sinks, hoods and table tops
acid resisting tanks kitchen sinks
laundry tubs, layatories, structure
purposes, electrical switch-boards
irdles, heating stones for ireles
cookers, and as cores for electrica
heating elements such as eleetri
flat-irons.
Ground soapstone is used to som
extent in foundry facings, as a IL
bricant, as a busting agent in mall
ing prepared roofing, in low grad
paints and for a few other mine
uses as a substitute for low-grad
tale.

stone situation has been issued |

Cost Of Paving Compiled
on Types of Materials

Average costs per square yard of

These figures cover only the cos
