BALTIMORE, February 2s.-In one
Of the busy sections of Baltimore
where thousands OF people pass daily
there is a plot of ground 100 by 100
feet that no amount of money will
buy.
1t is a private burying ground,
surrounded by huge brick wall.
Within are. 1s graves, in which lie
the remains of Elijah and Shinan
Etting, their descendants and friends.
Solomon Etting, a son of Elijah, who
lies inferred with his wife and chill
dren. figured prominently in the
early life of Baltimore and Maryland.
He came to Baltimore from Ian
caster. Pa, and took an active part
in politics. He was elected to the
city council in October, 1926. Later
he became president of the first
branch of the city council Etting
exchanged notes with President

larger inclinations.
The eccentricity of the orbit Is SIS.
A large eccentricity indicates that the

very much fattened. Only one asteroid
has an eccentricity larger than this. The
mean distance of the asteroid from the
sun Is 2.73 times that of the earth, but
because of the large eccentricity it is

ANNAPOLIS PLANS
VOTE ON FILTRATION
City Council to Act Soon on
Ordinance Submitting 100000
Proposal to Public.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, February %
tSpeciaD.-Voters OF Annapolis are
getting ready to decide whether a
hltration system shall be provided
here. The question has been pending
for many years. The ordinance to
submit the matter to a popular vote
has been offered in the city council
and deciding vote will be taken
within a short time.
The amount to be expended for the
purpose is 100000, and at the same
special election a proposal TO increase
the pressure in the city mains by
erecting tower or elevated tank,
with pumping machinery, will be sub
mitted. The second proposal calls for
the expenditure of $4,000. Bonds are
to be issued If either or both propo-
sitions are approved.
The water used by Annapolis s de-
rived from two springfield streams,
emptying into receiving reservoirs
about miles from town. They
run through a rather sparsely settled
section and can easily be protected
from contamination. Opponents of
filtration claim that users are thor
oughly protected by the period of
storage and the cholorination of the
water.

POOR FLYING IN ARCTIC
