FIFTY-FOUR FOREST FIRES
REPORTED IN MARYLAND
Property Damage Caused By
Blazes Since February l
Put at $3.50.

Fifty-four grassland and forest
fires have occurred in twelve counties
of the State since February l, causing
property damage estimated at S6,650
it was announced yesterday by G. W.
Markworth, Assistant State Forester.
The cost of fighting the blaze was put
at 1894.
The fires destroyed 2,185 acres of
forested land and erased areas, Mr..
Markworth said In determining the
causes of the blazes railroads were
found to be the greatest offenders, he
declared, having caused nineteen of
the fires. Eleven were caused by in
cendiaries, it is believed, and an equal
number originated in the ill-timed
burning of brushwood.
Twelve of the fires were attributed
to the careless dropping of cigarettes,
hot ashes, or matches near forests,
while the cause of one fire has not
been ascertained. One fire started by
an incendiary in Charles county was
xtinguished before any damage was
was done and the culprit brought to
justice, Mr.. Markworth said.
Mr.. Markworth said at least two
other forest fires of large extent. have
occurred in the State since February
l, although they have not been report
ed yet to the department.
The blazes reported so far since
that date were distributed at follows:
Allegany county, IA; Anne Arundel,
Z; Baltimore, 8; Cecil, 10; Charles, 2;
Prince Georges 7; Washington, g.;
and Garrett, Hartford, Montgomery,
! st, Mary's and Wicomico, one each.
81 urge strongly" said Mr.. Mark
worth, chat persons use the greatest
care in burning brush and in throwing
away cigarettes. By the exercise of
only reasonable care a number Of SER
ious fires can be prevented"

ADVANCING SMALL TOWNS

"Our small towns are being reborn.
Electrical power is doing it-power,
which Golfers has called the great
est of all servants Of society 1t is
starting long-idle factory wheels, is
building new plants, bringing better
roads, higher wages and a better way
of life. High-tension wires are put
ting the pleasant, happy small town
of American tradition on its feet-to
stay"
Commenting on that editorial, the
Dixon Tribune says:
Golfers is right. The small town
is as we'll lighted as the city. 1t has
the same advantageous power connec-
ton for manufacturing as the city.
There was a time when the mill or
factory seeking to utilize water pow
err had to build its wheels on the site
of the stream-today the mill may be
two or three hundred miles away.
Given advantageous shipping facili-
ties, small towns are now attractive
to manufacturers because Of less val
liable sites, cheaper rents and less
temptations for employees.
One more thought should be add
ed to the foregoing comment. Advo-
Gates of public ownership have been
attempting to show that state or gov
eminent development of electric utili-
ties is necessary to give the people
service. No more misleading or erro-
neous statement could be made. So
called super-power projects, which are
glibly talked about by politicians, are
mere word phrase to catch the public
fancy.
Long transmission lines stretching
for hundreds of miles to small towns
and farms far-distant from the source
Of power, would not be a fact today
and in common use if private utilities
had not perfected so-called "super-
power systems" through interconnec-
ton of transmission-line resources
and development Of great hydro-elec-
trio and steam plants, long before the
politicians ever invented the words,
super power."
1t is only fair to give the industry
credit for what it has done and not
allow political advocates of govern
ment ownership Of industry to mis-
represent or minimize results which
have already been accomplished.

forward the money before shipment
of goods was made: The adoption of
business methods is why it is improv-
ing from year to year, why it is CIV
ing its readers a constantly better
newspaper and why it is increasing
its influence for good in the commun-
ity. But the local newspaper is still
the principal booster for the commu-
nifty, and it does its boosting often
without any hope of material reward.
Unfortunate indeed is the commun-
ity which neither appreciates nor sup
ports its local newspapers.

To the tidal maelstrom of the channel from the Atlantic is added the tidal stream from the North sea. Although the time of their coming together and departing cor responds roughly, the area of meeting and separation is never slack. Between Beachy Head and North Foreland, and the mouth of the Somme river and Dunkirk, a third stream is formed by the two tidal currents, known as the inter mediate stream, which, running first with the channel stream and then with the North sea stream changes it's direction throughout its length almost simultaneously, a sort of water shuttle or friction surface between two conflicting sea rivers, never still.
 'Tho winds, likewise, have long had powerful effect on the tidal streams and currents in this re- zion, the latter being in the Eng fish channel simply movements of tho surface water set up by gales, some far distant. Often, under the influence of westerly winds from the Bay of Biscay. new current is set up across the entrance Of the channel, known as Rcnnell's cur- rent.

Ingalls, who was chairman of the employers commit, produces about eight million tons of coal; whereas Mir, Warriner is prcsi- dent of company which produces only about four million tons of ccal a year. Why was it that Mir. War riner was so important. and what right had the conference committee representing the employees, to dictate the personnel of the committee who represent the employers?
 "The other rather interesting fact is that at the Atlantic City confer ence the employers side of the story was never presented. The employes are alleged to have adjourned the meeting without having heard the employers side, on the ground. that at the opening of the conference, when preliminary statements Wero made by both sides, the employers spokesman said in speech. that the employers could not consider any wages or conditions that would increase the price of domestic an- thracite 10 the, public It is like going 10 court and having lawyer make statements which the opposite side did not approve ot, and having the opposite side therefore refuse 10 go on with the case.
