Townsend, Feb. 23.-Taxpayers liv-

and Massey are united and very ac-
tive in urging the Road Commission
of Maryland to have the dirt road be-
tween Coldwell and Massey improved
with a new concrete highway during
the coming spring and summer. 1t
is claimed that a connecting link be-
tween the Delaware boulevard and the
model concrete roadway at Massey is
badly needed in a business way, as
that section has the nearest concrete
road at Cecilton, several miles away,
while Kent County deserves a con-
crete highway, such as desired, to
give this thriving business section a
chance to make real progress, and
keep abreast with the other sections
of the state, in drawing business by
having a model roadway to conect
with leading peninsula towns.

FORESTS GIVE RAIN BACK TO AIR,
PLAYING "TENNIS' WITH CLOUDS
Little Water Taken to the
Heavens From Oceans.
Scientist Says.
Huge Quantities Must
Pass Through Trees to
Form Wood Growth.

Forests play raindrop tennis with
the clouds, picking up the water that
falls upon the ground and tossing it
back into the air. They are, there
fore, important factors in the diStribu-
tion of rainfall over a continent.
These are the salient theories ad-
vanced by Raphael Zon. director of
the Lake States Forest Experiment
Station of the United States Forest
Service
Mr.. Zon challenged the current idea
that the oceans contribute most heav-
lily to the raincloudS that water the
land, stating that only two-ninths of
the moisture they carry is derived
directly from salt water bodies. The
rest. he says, is returned from the
soil that has received it to the air,
whence it falls again as rain or snow.
And forests, he claims, send into the
air far more water than do grassy
plains or areas of bare soil.
The reasons for the tremendous
consumption of water by forests are
clear" Mr. Zon declares. ITO pro-
duce one pound of dry wood substance,
from 500 to 1000 pounds of water
must pass through the body of the
tree. A forest, If it is fairly stocked
with trees, produces at least 100 cubic
feet of wood per acre per year, in
Guiding root and branch wood A
cubic foot of coniferous wood weighs
on an average 25 pounds, that Of hard-
woods about 30 pounds. An acre of
forest, therefore, produces on an aver
age from $500 to $500 pounds. To
produce this amount of wood, from two
and one-half to four million pounds
of water will have to pass through
the tree and be given off into the air.

Malmesbury Abbey. historic Nor.
man ruin. now serves as the parish
church of this village. a flourishing
commercial center in the middle ages.
The ruin is in need of Immediate
repairs If the structure is to be saved.
The parish is too poor to bear the
expense and the vicar has made an
appeal to Americans, as the neighbor
hood is closely associated with the
history of the Washingtons.
The first church on the site of the
abbey was built about 637. A stone
church was erected half a century
later by st. Aldhelm, who lies buried
under the present ruin. King
Athelstan gave Malmesbury 500 acres
OF land for the help it gave him
against the Danes, and his body also
lies under the abbey. The present
abbey was erected in the middle of
the twelfth century.
Lawrence Washington was one of
the two members Of Parliament elected
from Malmesbury in 1861. and the
hall in which the election took place
still stands.

for the corporations.
That was the case in Illinois,. The
