A Packard or other high-grade used car is
better buy than most second choice cars. The
reason? Because there is more quality and
fine workmanship in the better cars, more un.
careful use than there is in any new cheap
car. t...
The better an article the better the care and
attention given 1t. Owners of fine cars do not
subject them to the neglect and abuse which
is not uncommon among owners OF cheaper
cars.

Lid On Income Tax
Publicity In This State

Figures showing the total of in
come tax collections for the Maryland
district during this calendar year will
not be given out by the Collector for
this district, as has been the case in
the past, it is revealed by inquiry
made to Internal Revenue officials at
the Custom House.
Any information on the subject will
have to come from Washington, 1t is
explained.
Before this edict from the national
headquarters went into effect, Joshua
w. Miles, Collector of Internal Rev
enue during the Wilson administers
ton, and Galen L. TAFT, the present
Collector, were accustomed to give
out income tax receipts for each quar-
ter of the year. These figures dealt
merely with totals and had nothing to
do with the publishing OF names,
which has been so much in contro-
versy lately.

FAILS TO CHECK
FLOW OF ALIENS
7O6,89 Immigrants This Year
"A Small Reduction Since
Bars Were Raised.

Washington.--D Despite the restrictive
quota law, the number of immigrants
admitted into the United States dur
ing the past fiscal year was almost as
large as before the law was passed,
the annual report of Commissioner OF
immigration Husband shows.
A total Of 706,S96 aliens were ad.
mitted during the year, against 309,556
in 1922 and 522,556 in 1928. Before
the law was passed the annual influx
was close to 100000. The increase
during the past year was due to ar
rivals from Canada, Mexico and other
Western Hemisphere countries, which
are not covered by the quota law, &C
cording to Husband.
More and more immigrants are
coming to the United States from
North European countries, while the
quota law effectively bars the influx
from the Mediterranean area, the re-
port shows.
English-speaking immigrants dur.
ing the past year aggregated 200.265,
or 28.S per cent, as compared with
107,19S, or 8 per cent. in 1914.
German immigrants numbered S5,-
627 and Scandinavian totaled 40,978,
both big increases. Further increases
from these regions are forecast under
the new law which went into effect on
July /.
Southern and Eastern Europe and
Turkey, which sent 914,974 immigrants
in 1914 alone, contributed only 1888
last year.
Emigrants from the United States
fell off in number, only 76,7S9 return.
ing to the "old countries" during the
year. Before the war the outgoing
tide was about one-third of the in
corners.
Smuggling of aliens into this coun'
try continues to increase, Husband
said. No estimate Of the number OF
Aliens illegally entering was given, but
the report pointed out as an index
that assertions of alien seamen from
their ships in American ports totaled
1859 last year, compared with a
previous annual average of 1878, when
there were no restrictive laws.

AGRICULTURE BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Carries Appropriation
Of s124,O 100000, Of Which
$50, 10000 Is For Roads.

4 Washington.--The Agricultural Ap-
preparation bill carrying 1924 900,
Of which $S0,0O0,000 would be avail
able for road construction, was passed
by the House.
The bill, as sent to the Senate,
would appropriate about $59,000,000
more than last years measure, but
carries several million dollars less
than the budget estimate.
The bill was passed after less than
two days consideration by the House.
Fewer than dozen amendments were
offered and those adopted represented
only minor changes.
Disposal of the agricultural bill
opened the way in the House to the
Naval Appropriation bill. which is
slated for consideration early this
week. The celebrity with which the
first two appropriation bills have been
disposed of has encouraged floor lead
ers in their hope of passing three
supply bills before the Christmas re-
cess.

City's Right To Condemn
Harbor Property Upheld

The right of the Mayor and City
Council Of Baltimore to acquire lands
whenever needed for the improve
ment and development Of harbor fla
cilities was upheld in an opinion rem
dered by Judge Hammond Urner in
the Court of Appeals.
An appeal was taken from a de-
cree in the Baltimore City Court in
an action of condemnation against
Roland r. Marchant, Walter c. My
lander and others against the munich
pal authorities The appellants were
awarded $64,12O for approximately
ave and three-quarters acres of land
deemed desirable for harbor develop
ing by creating additional docking
and pier facilities for lease by the
city.
The condemnation action was al
tackled on the ground that no ord.
nance was passed for the acquisition
of land by direct action of the city'a
general charter power of eminent do
main.

Man Lets Family Sleep,
Saves Goods. Dies In Fire

Saving his furniture from his blaz-
ing home at an early morning hour
with the snow 10 inches deep, but not
arousing his family Oliver Hoover,
aged AZ, was caught in the ruins and
burned to death, near Jennings, about
five miles south of Grantsville Mrs.
Nancy Hoover, his wife, and their
sons, Melvin, aged IL, and Herbert.
aged 10, are in Miners Hospital,
F,rostburg, with serious burns.
When neighbors arrived they found
Mrs. Hoover and the two children out
side and furniture from every room,
except that occupied by Mrs. Hoover,
scattered about. Hoover was no.
where to be seen, but after the en-
bers had cooled his charred body was
found on the kitchen floor.
Tracks of Hoover's shoes in the
snow showed that he had used great
haste in getting out the furniture. but
why he did not arouse members Of
the family is not known.
Neither Mrs. Hoover nor any of the
children, due to their condition, has
been able to make a statement. They
are suffering intensely from burns,
but are expected to recover.

missioner will receive them back. A
letter win explain that they failed to
include 10 cents for postage.
D. Marshall Schroeder, deputy COM
missioner said the Office is receiving
about 100 applications a day where
the postage has been omitted. All
such applications will be returned,
he explained.
"In previous years we paid the
postage in cases where it had been
omitted" Mr.. Schroeder said, but
then there were only few each week.
Last year the number increased and
this year 1t is running about 100 a
day. For us to pay the postage would
exhaust our appropriation for this pur-
pose and it is not fair to the man who
sends the fee."

CAUSE REMAINS MYSTERY

San Diego, Cal.-Five officers and
enlisted men attached to Squadron
No. 2 of the battle fleet air squadrons
were killed and three others probably
fatally injured when the huge twin
motored HIS type seaplane, in which
they were engaging in aerial target
practice, nose-dived 1200 feet into the
sea.
The accident was the worst in the
history naval aviation
Although aviation officials at North
Island believe the exact cause OF the
tragedy probably will never be known,
fairly accurate idea Of what hap
pened was obtained from Lieut.. Jo-
seph H. Gowan, pilot of the seaplane
towing the target for the ship in
which the five men lost their lives,
and from observers at Rockwell
Field.
The H-16 plane was flying at a
speed of about IS miles an hour when
Lieutenant Varini attempted a right
vertical turn. The ship at that in
slant was about 1900 feet above the
ocean and about half mile southwest
of Point Iona.
n Either the controls damned or one
or more of the wires running to the
rudder and ailerons snapped. The
plane, weighing more than a ton, went
into a spin, plunging with terrific
speed toward the sea, crashing in the
surf about 500 yards directly west of
the officers quarters at Rockwell
Field.
Splinters from the wrecked plane
covered the sea for several hundred
feet. 1t is believed that all five men
in the forward cockpits were killed
instantly and not drowned, as the
recovered bodies were horribly
mangled.
