AND EAGLE PARTY
 WILL MEET IN FAR NORTH

Word has been received from Washington says the Brooklyn Eagle that President Harding is planning the schedule of his Alaska tour so as to reach the Territory at the same time as the members of The Brooklyn Eagle Tour, He is arrang- ing his speaking dates so as to ar rive in Alaska on July 10. The Eagle party, which leaves Brooklyn on June 22, expects to disembark at Seward, Alaska, on July 3, and after brief stop in Seward will start on the special train trip over the new Government railroad reaching Mount Mckinley National Park on July II
 ''The Eagle party will see more of Alaska on it's tour this summer than have seen in several all-summer trips. Your itinerary could not be improved upon" said George I. Finlay, professor of geology of New York University, when he bought his collection of beautiful photo graphs of Alaska to The Eagle this week. Some of the worlds most beautiful and impressive scenery will be seen on this trip, and every wax ing hour should be ,spent on deck and out of doors, he added.
 Dr. Finlay has worked in Alaska for the Geological Survey and, has made special study of some of the interesting formations and deposits due to volcanic and glacial action.
 "The Eagle is doing a real service in making Americans acquainted with the scenic marvels of this great Territory" he declared. Few sum- mer tourists ever get to the real Alaska. It is as you get beyond Skagway into the Prince William Sound region and farther on towards Seward and along the line of the Copper River Railway that you con front the real scenic marvels of this region.
 People speak of the Canadian Rockies as though they represented the ultimate of beauty in mountain scenery. To my mind, Alaska pre- sents grandeur even more wild and appealing

Every State mad more cars and

is in contrast to the situation year

figures than in 1920. The delinquents
last year were Georgia, South Caro-

These four States together showed a
decrease in 1921 Of 17,734, as COM

a total gain of 1850 over 1921 and
net increase of 9s05 over the previous

The greatest numerical gains were
made in the high registration States,
as usual. New York, California,

gains in the order named.

AUTO INDUSTRY SECOND
IN AMERICAN PRODUCTION
More Than A Billion Dollars In
vested In Manufacturing Vari-
GUS Makes Of Machines.

The production Of automobiles has
become, in less than quarter Of a
century, the second largest manufac-
turing industry in America, an indus
try that represents a capital invest
rent Of billion and quarter dol
lars, produces two and quarter mill
ion vehicles annually and employs a
third of a million people, in addition
to those employed by associated in
dustries, such as in the manufacture
of tires, automobile accessories, bod
les, etc., which industries have been
created through the manufacture Of
automobiles.
The year 1922 ended with 1885,, 1916
automobiles and motor trucks plying
the roads of the United States-a gain
of 1851, ZIG, or 17.6 per cent, over
registration figures for 1921-said a
report made public recently by auto

car of same sort for every TT per-

pass the 100000 mark. 1t leads with
1000, 1872, and also has the largest nu-
merical gain over last year, with 1885,

Scanty Dress Of ''flappers"
Does Not Increase Illness
She Is As Healthy As Red-Flannel-
Petticoated-M Miss Of The Nine
lies, Physicians Agree.

Along about this season of the year
when influenza, pneumonia, colds and
other winter diseases. spread most
rapidly, the wiseacres, anti-feminists.
and people who write letters to the
newspapers, declare that half of the
trouble, or a great part. of it, is due
to the clothes women wear.
They say that it stands to reason
illness is spread by the females who
wade through slush in gauze stock
ings and ":paper-shell" slippers, and
who trapse around with their chests
bare to the midwinter winds or expose
vast expenses Of anatomy to the
draughts Of theatres and dance halls.
Opinions expressed recently, how
ever, by a number Of prominent Bal
timore physicians indicate that no
such conclusion can be taken for
granted.
DR.. Clairbel Cone, for instance, de-
clares that instead of exposing her
self to disease by her clothing, the
modern girl was really increasing her
powers Of resistance.
II think the clothing the girls Of to-
day wear" DR.. Cone said, fare an ad-
vantage rather than Otherwise, speak
ing strictly from the health stand
point. It accustoms the body to the
various changes Of temperature of our
climate. You know the savages used
to wear very, little clothing at all and
they got along very WELL"

BELIEVES TIMBER in
STATE TO BE OVERTAXED
State Forester Will Go Before Tax
Commission And Ask For
Lower Assessment.

An announcement Of interest to
owners Of timber tracts throughout
Somerset county, is the statement this
week that F. w. Besley. State Fores-
ter, soon will appear before the Mary
land Tax Commission to argue for a
revision Of the tax laws as they now
apply to woodlands. He is of the
opinion that the present system, in
principle, is unjust and puts premi-
UNI on the devastation Of forest lands.
Mr.. Besley explained his contention
by saying the assessment made upon
forest land is higher than that made
upon arabic land, and that the tax
late annually is correspondingly high
CIR. The injustice of such plan is
that the farmer pays an annual tax
on the land which yields him nothing
until harvesting is made of the tim
hcr, and this only can be every few
years, according to Mr.. Besley.
A land with small timber on it prob
ably would not arrive at any degree
of usefulness for many years, but in
the meantime the owner is paying a
tax for it and is being discouraged to
devote any more land to timber, he
contends. The argument of the farm
Ell he pointed out, is that his arabic
land, which yields him an annual
revenue is costing him less than the
timber land, which yields him a reve-
nue. only once in several years.
The plan which Mr.. Besley will
push will be the installation of a
yield" tax, to be assessed when the
timber is cut. The assessors, he says
should take the production value a
standard in this case.

When two baseball fans meet these
days the first remark is likely to be:
"Well, a couple more months and
they'll be at it again." TO which the
conventional reply is: :" wonder
if the Babe will come ; ais year?'
After that, unless the fans happen
to be both pro-Ruth or both anti-Ruth
the conversation is likely to become
heated and beyond the scope Of a
magazine that goes into the home.
All fandom is divided into two
camps. One camp thinks and says
that Gerge Herman Ruth still is the
greatest man on earth The other
camp says and thinks that Geore''
Herman Ruth is a fine specimen of a
severe frost. Last summer many
bought newspapers for the sole pur-
pose Of seeing how many home runs
he had dubbed cut, while many others
bought them to see how many times
he had famed the breeze.
Ruth had hard row to hoe. His
early-season suspension was big
handicap; his successes in 1920 and
1921 had given him a strong impress
sion that training rules didn't mean
much in his life ,and the abuse hand
ed out by some of the fans who a
year before had worshipped him didn't
help him lot in his appointed task of
knocking the cover off the ball. Yet
he made a creditable showing.
Since the season ended Babe seems
to have been doing some serious think
ing. The white lights don't shine for

Some time between now and March
l the Maryland Racing Commission
will award dates for 1923 to Pimlico,

The fair plants will apply just as soon
as they decide upon when to hold their
exhibits.
The spring dates are the same as
usual, but those in the fall are shifted
somewhat. If Marlboro does not hold
it's fair during the second week in
September it looks as if the commits
sioners will have to shift the Pimlico
dates forward or backward.
