weighed about 1,2e0 pounds, or half a

For drill we used many of the same
proiectiles we were to Are. They
were slowed in compartments called
shell rooms, where powerful racks
held them in place. Below In the
turret handling room, under each
turret, crews wrestled these pom

But since such work was slow as

trade and commerce. In the north of
Africa Carthage became the great
business and trade centre by means of
her roads to the interior and more
than two centuries before Christ, be-
came the powerful rival of Rome be-
cause of her commercial wealth and
this commercial rivalry brought on
the wars between the African trade
centre and the Roman, which lasted
more than a century-and the pros
perity of both these great CONNER
cial Republics of two thousand years
ago was brought about by their trade,
by the roads they built into the inter
ior and the ships that connected
them with distant lands.
The great problems which face
all cities and commercial centres are
transportation problems-the prob
lens of roads. 1t would be the best
possible investment Baltimore could
make-to raise the money and build
the roads-hard roads of the best
sort, into the remotest sections of
the entire State. Every mile of road
built into the populous parts of the
State opens up the ways for more
people to come into town and trade,
and every mile of new road built out
in connection with the main State
roads into the towns adds to the
value of every dollars worth of
property in Baltimore; and so far
from kicking and squirming and
squealing at the expenditure of a
few dollars for the further continual
ton CT the present admirable system
the part of wisdom would be for the
authorities to encourage the work and
hasten it to completion-the pros
perity of the community depends on
the roads; they bring trade and pros
perity to all, and without roads and
good means of communication cities
dry up and die.
And Baltimoreans are apt to lose
sight of the fact that Baltimore,
while it exceeds the rest of the State
in population, is in the State of Mary
land, that the State of Maryland is
not in Baltimore City. And they
should also recall that the State was
fourishing and prosperous long be-
fore the city existed-and that the
city is the child and creature Of the
State.
The people who come to town,
over the good roads, always bring
more or less money with them, and
rarely do they ever take any away.
Practically all they have is left here,
and it is within bounds to say that
certainly half of all the money made
by the people of every section of the

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.

Mary B. Dolly VS.. John E. Dolly.
No. 2718 Equity. In the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, Maryland.
The object of this suit is to procure
a divorce a vincoulo matrimonii by
Mary B. Dolly from John E. Dolly,
her husband.
The bill states that the parties were
married on the 18th day Of May, 1922,
at Bayard, West Virginia, and lived
together until July, 1925; and that al
though the conduct of the said Mary
B. Dolly toward her husband, John E.
Dolly, has always been kind, loving
and affectionate, and her entire cor
duct has always been above reproach,
that the said John E. Dolly has COM
mitted the crime of adultery with GER
tain lewd and abandoned women in
and about the States of Maryland and
West Virginia, and that the said Mary
B. Dolly is a resident of the State of
Maryland and has been for more than
two years prior to the filing of this
bill, but that the said John E. Dolly
is nonresident of the State of Ma
ryland.
1t is thereupon this 4th day of Feb
ruary, 1927, ordered by the Circuit
Court for Garrett County, Maryland,
in equity, that the plaintiff, Mary B.
Dolly, by inserting a copy of this or
der in some newspaper published in
Garrett county, Maryland, once a
week for four successive weeks on or
before the 25th day of March, 1927,
give notice to the said John f. Dolly
of the object and substance of this
suit, warning him to be and appear in
this Court on or before the 18th day
of April, 1927, either in person or by
solicitor, and show cause, if any he
has, why the decree prayed and the
relief sought ought not to be granted.

A GAS TAX INCREASE WILL
BENEFIT BALTIMORE
Business and Trade Would Be
Brought To City By Good
Lateral Roads.

One of the odd characteristics of a
large proportion of the people who
live in towns and cities, is the pre-
vailing belief on their part that the
inhabitants of the surrounding dis
tricts are dependant on them, and
not the contrary, which is really the
case. The business and trade of the
cities and centres of population are
dependent altogether on the pros
perity and welfare of the inhabitants
of the sections whose borders are con-
tiguous to the city. And the greatest
asset to city of any size is large
and Industrious population connected
with it by good roads, in order that
communication may at all times be
easy, safe and free. Without good
roads, with the ability to go to and
from the cities, from all sections,
there would be no cities, for, while
the country districts can live and
prosper on their own resources, as
they did for ages before there were
good and convenient means of trans
portation, in other words, good roads,
no city ever fourished except as it
was the centre of prosperous sec
ton with which it was connected on
all sides by good roads. And yet it
would appear from the howl they
raise in Baltimore, because they are
required to pay out few extra dol
lars to help build roads in the coun-
ties all of which roads centre in
Baltimore, and enable people to come
to Baltimore to spend their money,
that they were being robbed for the
benefit of the country sections. Every
new road that is built in the State
is a greater asset to Baltimore than
it is to the people of the immediate
vicinity, for it opens up another ave-
nue. for trade to flow into the town.
In the early days the State built
what roads there were; they built
the first turnpikes, and the first rail-
roads, and devoted unselfishly the re-
sources of the State and counties to
build roads to get to Baltimore, and
Baltimore in those days never grum-
bled at giving up her share, to aid in
securing the trade which flowed in
over these roads. Meetings were held
to raise money to build roads, all of
which centered in Baltimore, and nc
complaint was ever heard that Balti-
