RADIO RECORD MADE In 1915

In these days of radio telephone pub,
licity when the public mind is keyed
up to the anticipation Of great develop,
ments in the radio field, It is an inter
esting fact that the first demonstra-
lions OF the vast possibilities OF the
radio telephone were made by the
scientists and engineers of the Bell
System back In 1915.
Speech was successfully transmitted
that year from New York City over
the wire Of the Bell System to the
radio station at Arlington, Va, and
thence by wireless to the radio station
at Mare Island, Cal.
Later that year, a still more remark
able demonstration was made by the
Bell System engineers, when words
spoken into the radio telephone at
Arlington, Va. were heard with re-
markable clearness at the Eiffel tower
IN Paris and In the Hawaiian Islands.
This demonstration established long
distance radio telephone record which
has never been surpassed.
The following year, 1916. during the
three days mobilization of the COM
munication resources OF the nation I'M

assessment has been both fair and equal
throughout the various sections of the
county, and that the present tax basis
more fairly represents an equalized valu-
alton Of property throughout the county
than ever before.
DIR. Perrys friends further show that he
is one of the few men living in the suburban
end of the county having knowledge of the
agricultural interests of the county who
can be counted on to work for con-
tinuation of the harmonious and mutually
beneficial relationship between these sec
tons whose population and interests are
so different

DR.. Benjamin G. Perry.

Since DR.. Benjamin c. Perry, President
of the Board of County Commissioners for
this county. announced his candidacy last
week for reelection his many active friends
in the county have been urging his re-
election on the grounds of his obvious fit
ness for the Office, the excellent record
that the Board of County Commissioners
has made during his presidency, and his
knowledge of the problems confronting
both the agricultural and suburban sec
tons of Montgomery county.
DR.. Perry is a native of Montgomery
county, was born and reared on the old
Perry farm between Kensington and
Wheaton, where his family resided since
before the organization of the county.
His father, the late Richard H. Perry.
represented the old Fifth District of Mont
eomery county as County Commissioner
for two terms, beginning in 1889
DR.. Perry studied medicine at the George
Washington University and after gradu-
ating there took hospital work at the
Emergency Hospital in Washington and
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
In 1907 he moved to Frederick county
and practiced his profession in and around
Urbana from 1907 to 1918. Urbana is that
section of Frederick adjacent to Montgom-
cry county. A large part Of DR.. Perry's
practice during his residence at Urbana
was in Montgomery county and in that
way he became thoroughly familiar with
the people, conditions and problems of the
northern section of Montgomery county.
Since moving to Bethesda in 1918 he
has built up most enviable practice in
that section. His work as physician
keeps him constantly on the road and his
many friends assert that he is better ac-
quainted with the various local needs Of
the people of his section of Montgomery
county than any other man.
During the time that Dr. Perry has been
president of the Board of County Commits
sioners the county tax rate has been re-
duced 10 cents in 1922 and is cents in
1928. These two reductions have given
Montgomery county the lowest tax rate Of
any of the twerty-three counties of Mary
land.
1t is generally recognized throughout the
State that while Montgomery county has
the lowest tax rate in the State, its county
government is second to none in service
rendered to the people Of the county.
Although Montgomery county taxes have
been reduced. it has more miles of i'm
proved highway in comparison with its
total road mileage than any other county
in Maryland.
Its school system is recognized as one of
the best in the State.
Even the re-assessment of all property
in the State. which was required under
Statewide law passed by the 1914 Session
of the Maryland Legislature and signed by
Governor Phillips Lee Goldsboroueh, Re-
publican. was efficiently and fairly made
in this county under the direction Of the
Board Of County Commissioners and under
the immediate supervision of Berry E..
Clark, clerk to the board.
! 1t is an accepted fact that the recent

Cause OF Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipated, the
lower bowels or large intestines become
packed with refuse matter, that is made
up LARGELY of germs. These germs enter
the vermiform appendix and set up in
hammation. which is commonly known as
appendicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tablets
when needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from appen-
dicitis.

A n interesting French writer,
N Jean de Pierrefeu, in max
4 n ing copy" which is not
quite as natural a process as
making hay, has recently af-
firmed that "Plutarch lied" (Plu-
tarch a mentf) with regard to
the Importance of great men.
/ am not here considering Mon
sieur de Pierrefeu's special theme,
which is the alleged ineffective
ness of the commanders in the
great war, but 1 think that the
general basis of his argument is
altogether false. believe in
great men. Neither science nor
civilization could exist without
them. I do not confine this state
ment to extraordinary geniuses,
very few of whom appear in a
century, but / include all who
common level.
My belief in great men is more
after Emerson's than after Car
lyle's manner. I brood no mysti-
cal philosophy about them. I do
not regard them as expressions
of occult tendencies and imagi-
nary forces, but believe in them
as concrete examples of practical
superiority in human endow-
ments.
We all have, or ought to
have, the feeling that each Of us
is just as good as anybody else.
That is eternally true. But we
should not allow that truth to
obscure the other truth, that
some men and women are en-
dowed with superior qualities, Or
faculties, for dealing with the
affairs Of this life. Their lack of
perfection does not deprive them
of their usefulness to society, I'M
less their faults exceed their ex-
cellence. Fair, open-mtnded
meditation of this truth is the
best cure for envy, the most
rodent of mental diseases.
A coincidence has led me to
this. Having just read Jean de
Pierrefeu's attack on Plutarch

who commanded the armies on
both sides in the world war, and

~ ATIENCE may be virtue in

Afterwards, it seems to me,
patience becomes lack OF proper
self-appreciation which has moth

There is no reason in this

There is no reason why a GER

faithful picture and builds barriers
Of contempt in consequence.
Believing thus, I feel a some
what personal delight in the ac-
ton taken by the American Farm
Bureau Federation which convened
lately in Chicago.
The members Of the organ
ization let 1t be known through
that gathering. that they are be-
coming most awfuIly weary of
being represented on the stage
and in the movies and wherever
else the farmer may appear, as
a bemused-l looking individual with
the eternal wisp of hay hooked
through his teeth and boots hold

The farmer of today. these
men pointed out, is a. business
man who occasionally wears Gus.

new and valuable farm machin-
cry rather separates him from
close proximity to hay.
He drives his own motor, 1t

feels that he is accomplishing an

BY Bert Moses

Nothing will carry you further

Precedent Is a waste basket into
which the past has dumped it's

In calculating the cost of alter.
ing a building, always add 100
per cent for things you overlook.
It can be said to a hogs credit
that he always eats what is set
before him and never complains
that things are too salty.
Being good has it's advantages.
but you don't get much experiences
out of it.
Faith is more popular than
knowledge because you don't have
to do any hard work to get 1t.
