Davis Sees Unrest in
Too Much MACHINERY

Secretary Of Labor Davis has
warned the country that discomfort
and unrest among the Iaboring
classes may arise as the result Of
the rapid displacement of working
men by machinery.
Although the number of consum.
ers in the United States has been
increased by 100000 in the last
decade, he said the factories sup.
plying the needs of the Nation are
getting along with per cent
fewer workers.
Industry has been able to reduce
the number Of its workers because
of the introduction of Iabor.saving
machinery. and as more of these
devices are added the tendency to
throw more men and women out
of jobs will be proportionately in.

Hurricanes Cause of
= "Spots" Noted on Sun

Storms on the sun are nothing but
hurricanes, like those that sweep the
Caribbean sea and the Florida coast,
but on much grander scale. Instead
Of a speed of 100 miles an hour or
so, they move farther than that in a
second, and instead Of being COM
posed of air they are hurricanes OF
flaming gases. A hurricane on the
earth revolves around a central calm
that may be 20 miles or so across.
The whole world, and several more
like it, could be placed side by side
in the central vortex Of such storms
on the sun. They get their name of
sun spots because this central vortex
photographs as a black spot on the
astronomers plate. But it is only a
comparative black, for actually it is
a flaming zone far brighter than the
greatest searchlight ever built. It is
only in comparison with the intense
brightness Of the rest Of the sun that
it appears black.-Popular Mechanics

shakespeare" Apt Name

The name Of Shakespeare was first
borne by tall man who was attached
to the royal bodyguard and who was
present during one Of the battles and
saw an assassin stealing up to royal
person, either king or next heir Il
cannot remember which). He snatched
spear from an armor bearer and ran
him through, just in time to save the
victim intended. For this he was sent
for and knighted on the field and
given spear and commanded to walk
before royalty on public occasions for
three generations and to receive a
grant of five yards Of scarlet cloth an
nually. After this settlement Of an
estate a days journey from London
was given and kept for many years,
and the owner had to appear at court
and wave or shake spear to prevent
anyone coming too near to do harm to
the king.-Hector Bolitho, In the

Virgil Not Satisfied
With His Masterpiece

Virgil, the poet, who wrote 1900
years ago, was the son Of humble
farmer. He was born in Italy Octo-
Der Is, 20 B. G., In the commune Of
Andes, close to Mantua, then a small,
provincial town. His father is said
to have been originally servant who
married his masters daughter and
became a thriving farmer, herdsman
and beekeeper.
There was said to be a Celtic strain
in Virgil's blood-his names, Vigilius
and Marc, have been traced to Celtic
roots, says a writer in the Kansas
City Star. He probably was not a
Roman citizen by birth, but autonaat-
ically came under the extension Of
full citizenship to the Cisalpine prov
inces by julius Caesar. His early edu-
cation was received at Milan and at
eighteen he Joined a group Of poets
at Rome, the center of literary Gull
ture. Here he studied rhetoric, Ian.
guages, literature and Greek philoso-
ply. He seems to have taken no part
in the wars of the period. His &c
logues were published in 81 B. @. He
spent seven years composing the
Georges and all his life he worked
on the Aeneid, dying unsatisfied with
1t and expressing desire that 1t be
burned. He died in 10 B. 9. without
ever having married.

HosU Browning Wrote

rather painful for them to learn that

an Eighteenth century book Of verse
Nor was this the poets only offense
Of the kind. The famous "How They
Brought the Good News From Client

the fyleaf and margins of a copy Of
Bartoli's "Simboli." In this case
Browning had the excuse that the
lines came to him when reading on

authorized to perform the Rite of
Marriage. After lengthy discus
sion by counsel on either side, the
Court overruled the demurrer.
Mr.. Morton Reardon testified that

still an ordained minister of the Cos
pei. Acknowledged he attended the
trial in Wilmington on October 4th,
1921. Stated he was ordained g
minister by Bishop Lewis, in the Up
per Iowa Conference in 1908. That

HIGH CONTEST HEN NOW NEARS
SOO-EGG MARK

Thirteen eggs more and the white
Leghorn hen in the pen OF Geo. b.
Ferris, Grand rapids, Mich, now
leading the layers in the Maryland
State Egg Laying Contest under way
at the University of Maryland Exper-
iment Station, will cross the three
hundred egg mark and very likely
clinch her title to the 1927 cham
pionship.
However, according to Roy H.
Waite, contest supervisor, almost
anything may happen to production
at this season when melting is to be
expected. The chances for this hen
and for some of her near competitors
seem good, nevertheless, with thirty
five days before the close OF the con-
test.
There was no change in the rela-
tive positions of leading pens during
the forty-seventh week OF the con-
test. The white Leghorns still held
all the high honors with the pen OF
Geo. B. Ferris, Grand Rapids, Mich.
in first with total production tc
date of 2,409 eggs. The Ideal Poul
try Farm entry. Ellicottville, N. Y.

Property valued at $75O,OO0, it is
estimated by John F. j. Herbert,
Federal Prohibition Administrator
for the Maryland-District of Column
bia area, has been esized or destroy
ed by the Baltimore enforcement
group of agents since January /.
This figure does not inslude penal
ties imposed by the courts and the
Internal Revenue Department, nor
activities of the customs unit, it was
said. Other Federal officials esti,
mated these additional penalties a!
more than 100000 for the period
Mr.. Herbert made his estimate in
connection with the announcement OF
figures detailing the activities OF Bal
timore agents in September, which
with August, the previous high
month, when PSI cases, involving
256 defendants, were recorded
The agents started the month with
raids on three saloons, seizure OF an
automobile at Charlestown, Cecil
county, and seizure OF large alleg-
ed illicit distillery plant in Hartford
county. The driver of the car
which had Delaware license, escap-
ed. Ten gallons of liquor, the
agents reported, were found in the
vehicle.
The distilling plant, the agents re-
ported, was found on the farm OF
Milton Schaub, near Abingdon, Har-
ord county. Robert Wilson and
lanes Wilson, Negroes, were arrest
ID and Schaub was cited to appear
before j. Frank Supplee, United
States Commissioner.
The seizures consisted, according
to the agents, of an S00-gallon and a
3O0-gallon still. 1O,40O gallons OF
mash and 200 gallons OF distillate.

The State would not profit by the
employment of prison labor for con-
struction of State roads, is the opin-
ion of John N. Mackall, chairman of
the State Roads commission.
Authorities in Virginia claim that
for each prisoner at work on the
roads there a saving of 81 per day
to the State is effected on expenses of
criminal institutions.
Were convicts engaged in road
work in Maryland, the commission
would be compelled by the State laws
to pay to the institutions daily fee
Of so cents for the use OF each pris-
oner, besides the wages TO the con-
victs. and the additional expense
would place prison labor on the same
par as free labor.

AUTO SURVEY TO BE MADE

A survey of traffic on roads Of the
State, designed to show that 80 per
cent of the automobiles on those
roads are city-owned, is to be laun-
ched by the State Roads Commission
next year.
The United States Bureau OF Pub
lie Roads is to be asked to aid in the
survey and supply trained observers,
according to John N. Mackall, chair
man of the commission.
Findings of the investigation, ac-
cording to present plans, will be rea-
dy for publication before the 1928
elections, at which opponents of the
gasoline tax for highways are de-
handing referendum on the tax
measure. The ruling of Attorn ey-
General Thomas H. Robinson that a
referendum on the law would be il
legal is to be tested in time to get
the law ON the ballots il the Attorney
General is overruled, according to
State Senator Edward J. Colgan, Jr.,
leader of the forces against the tax.
Proper proceedings will be taken
to test the validity of Attorney-Gen-
eral Robinson's ruling and soon
enough to allow time for decision
by the courts before the election, but
we are not sure yet just when the
movement will be started" Senator
Colgan said.
Similar surveys to that planned
here have just been completed by
State and Federal officials in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire and
Vermont, Mr.. Mackall pointed out.
