Tomato Crop In State
Takes 80 Per Cent. Drop

The total yield OF tomatoes in Mary
land will be approximately half that
Of last years crop. This prediction
was made by DIR. t. B. Symons, di.
rector of extension service Of the Uni
yersity of Maryland.
Because of conflicting reports .
Or. Symons said, Il was requested to
make a survey of the States tomato
acreage with the view OF ascertaining
what the outlook is for the 1924 crop.
My estimate is based on the personal
observations Of the county agents OF
this department and visit l made
recently to the large tomato-growing
regions of the State.
These inquiries reveal that while
a larger acreage OF tomatoes was
planted this year. adverse weather
conditions have reduced the acreage
to about $4,000.
ut is doubtful IL there will be more
than an average yield of two and one
half tons per acre. although some
fields indicate yield of seven to eight
tons.

New York.-George C. Gustow. a

without bail for examination.
Gustow, who is OF excellent family

craved the excitement which comes
from burning buildings and the dash
Of fire engines, while the other side
made him conscience-stricken and fear
full lest he cause death or injury to
any person. It is not yet known II
any of the fires he has started In New

State Rating Low
In Physical Tests

With the exception OF two states,
Maryland had the poorest record OF
all the States in a physical efficiency
test given the $4,000 young men who
attended the civilian military training
camps in 1928 Maryland's score Of
40 surpasses only the Al for Nebraska
and 81 for Iowa, according to infor.
nation obtained at the War Depart.
ment.
-Four events comprised the test
t0O-yard dash. running broad jump,
running high jump and bar vault.
Each participant was given score in
points and each State was represented
in attendance in proportion to its pop
ulation. This, the War Department
believes, made ii possible to obtain a
fair physical efficiency rating for each
State.

 At night or even in the daytime when there is a fog, as is often the case, an iceberg is invisible. What happens if an ocean liner strikes one? The ship is almost sure to be smashed, with the probable loss of many lives.
 That was what happened to the mighty "Titanic," April 15, 1912. An under water spur of an immense iceberg ripped through her side as she turned in an effort to escape, and inflicted death wound.
 That frightful disaster caused fourteen nations to get together and establish the International Ice Patrol" which has been

The claim made by some shipmasteFs, that warning under such circumstances may Be given By c damp and vault-like ChiiI ef tiia air in the neishbOfhosd of tho berg, is not believed to have much foundation in scientific faet.

 It is an interesting fAet that the iCs- berg "echo alarni'' with which the inter- national Ice Patrol Is now experimenting was not originally designed for this sSrt of work at all.
 It was a product of the scientific effort of the Photographic department to perfect
