BILL TO PRY INTO GRAVEL
REMOVAL FROM RIVERS

A bill directing that investigation
be made into the taking of sand and
gravel from the navigable rivers
and other stream beds of the State
has caused more discussion in
political circles than any other
matter before the Legislature at
this session.
Sponsors of the bill have been
enveloped in clouds of mystery by
gossip in the State House cor
ridors. The bill was introduced in
the House of Delegates by Paul
Berman, Republican, Baltimore.
Asked about the identity of the
sponsors, Mr.. Berman replied: 81
introduced the bill, didn't !? What
other sponsors are necessary ?"
But Mr.. Berman's Democratic
colleagues were emphatic in con-
tending that some one else was be-
hind the measure. One conjecture
was that the Republican party
would support the bill and that
it was intended as direct
contractors.
1.-THE bill is not directed toward
any specific company or man." Mr..
Berman asserted. 1T directs the
Attorney-General to institute suit
forthwith in the name of the State
to recover all moneys due the State
from any firm, corporation or in
dividual, and for an accounting of
all sand and gravel taken from the
beds of any of the navigable rivers,
creeks or branches of this State
'If the Arundel Corporation has
been taking sand and gravel from
the rivers of the State without MAX
ing the proper compensation to the
State, then it is included. The bill,
of course, would not effect any
company possessing valid contractors
for dredging rivers and taking their
compensation in sand and gravel
II believe some step should be
taken to prevent sand and gravel
from being removed, without proper
compensation, from rivers and other
streams, which under that law,
belong to the State and not to any
man or group of men,"
The Arundel Corporation, headed
by Frank Furst, veteran Democratic
leader, is engaged in extensive
dredging work in Baltimore harbor
and in other rivers of the State,
among them North East river. in
Cecil county.

PROTECTING THE BABIES
EYES
From State Dept. of Health.

From State Dept of Health.
Babies in Maryland-in fact
all over the world-have profited
from the discovery made over forty
years ago by Crede, doctor in a
maternity hospital in Leipsic. that
babies eyes could be protected from
the dangerous infections that for
merly left so many of them sight
less for life, by placing one or two
drops of certain solution in each
eye of the new born baby.
Twenty-Five. years ago, one out of
every three children admitted to
the schools for the blind, in the
| United States, was blind as the
result of infections picked up at the
time of birth. By last year, the
number had been reduced to about
one out of every ten.
In the Maryland School for the
Blind, out, Of total of 101 pupils
attending the school in 1925, 10
had been made blind by such in
fections but of the 16 new pupils
admitted that year, none was re-
ported to have been blinded by birth
infections. The same was true of
the four children admitted that year
to the Colored School for the Blind
Speaking of the measures that are
taken to protect the babies sight
DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health, said:
1.-THE condition that destroys the
sight is known as ophthalmia
neonatorum, which is simple English
signifies an inflammation of the eye,
leading to blindness of the new born.
1t is one of the diseases that must
be reported Immediately to the
State Department of Health so that
every possible effort may be made to
save THE child's sight The only
hope of saving it, lies in caring for
the condition Immediately.
ITO prevent this condition from
arising, the State Department of
Health furnishes, free of charge, to
any physician who asks for it, and
" Gil supply VI AtAC
solution first used by Creole, and
now used by careful physicians all
over the world. The solution comes
in wax tubes, each tube containing
just enough for each individual
case. The general use of these
protective drops at birth was not
begun in this country until about
sixteen years ago, and even in that
short time there has been great i'm,
provement as is shown by the eX-
perience in the State Schools for the
Blind.
THE germs that cause this dan
gerous condition of the eyes include
number, among them those that
cause pneumonia, erysipelis, bells
and carbuncies, as well as those that
cause other serious diseases"

ASSESSMENT LAW CHANGE
PROPOSED

An effort is being made to have
Statewide assessments of real and
personal property made at intervals
of ten years instead of five years,
as at present.
Senator Roe, of Queen Anne's
county, has introduced bill in the
Maryland Legislature with that end
in view. The bill proposes to re-
peal and re-enact the present law
with the simple change of the word
five" to "ten."
Before the State Tax Commission
was established and directed to
make frequent assessments, with
provisions for equalization, the
dates for the general assessments
were postponed time and again by
acts of the Legislature, resulting
in alleged gross inequalities in
assessments.

lection now furnished by the Con-
servation Department, any zone con-
sisting of 10000 acres, should be
awarded local patrol boat. Any
zone or particular location having
less than 10000 acres could not
have local patrol boat, If cost or
maintenance of said local patrol
boat exceeded fifty per cent of the
net income from bottoms leased in
that particular zone or locality. In
other words, no zone or particular
locality shall have any additional
patrol boats that will cost the State
more than fifty per cent of the net
proceeds of bottoms leased in that
particular zone or locality; but the
Conservation Department shall have
absolute control and supervision of
all patrols boats.
Seventh-The present licensing
law of the oyster packers should be
repealed and a contract form drawn
by the State to all shocking, ship
ping or packing houses, and in adj
dition to the $25 license fee as at
present, ten per cent of the shells
made in said establishments should
be turned over to the State to be
planted, so that we might have
material for the spat to attach it
self to, and assure us of supply of
seed oysters every year.

OPP 0SES FALLS
POWER PLAN

An almost unanimous sentiment
in the District is expected TO be
shown against the leasing of Great
Falls waterpower to the Byllesby-
Potomac River Corporation at a
public hearing to be held by the
War Department Thursday.
AS guardian of the scenic beauties
Of Great Falls the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
will oppose the development, as will
the Federation of Citizens Associa.
tions and other local interests.
The Potomac Electric Power Com.
pany will be represented at the
hearing. and will join in opposition
to the project.
There is no local support for the
development, SO far as can be as
certained.
For many years the Great Falls
waterpower project was held up TO
the citizens of Washington as a
means of obtaining cheap power,
especially under Government opera
ton.
Three Government engineers have
reported that the project was prae-
ttcable. The Byllesby plan, how
ever, has been sharply attacked oy
engineers, and in the Grant report
it is portrayed as carrying flood
menace to Washing ton's sea wall
and river front.

The governments action was in
