Curiosity Has Played
Big Part in Progress

From time immemorial women have
been branded as being more curious

don clergyman that men far. outnum-

One cannot say that one sex is more
curious than the other. but they are in
terested in totally different matters.
Feminine curiosity is iighthearted. and
less searching than masculine Few
women are ashamed to admit their de-
sire to know the cost of dress. but
the majority would be reluctant to ad-
nit their ignorance of some important
event in history The opposite is the
case with most men. They feel 1t is
bad taste to be curious about personal
matters, but they rarely mind asking
for information about public affairs.
Curiosity often becomes a vice with
some people. Most of us are familiar
with old maids and bachelors who
spend all their time probing into the
affairs of others. Such people are an
object of terror and dislike to the 9TH
er inhabitants, and the originators Of
countless petty scandals and quarrels
Lack of any real occupation drives
them slowly, as they grow older, into
indecent prying into their neighbors'
concerns.
We are apt to condemn curiosity as
an unpleasant quality, and few of us
will acknowledge that we are led and
tempted by it. We forget that it Is an
instinct which is one of the most valu-
able and beneficial assets of humanity
in the battle Of life. 1t Is the driving
force behind the work of all scientists.

M. H. Halter and j. R. Magness

mailer in size, but was low in dry

BALTIMORE CITY OPPOSED TO
PAYING INCREASED GAS
TAY

Senator Edward J. Colgan, Jr., of
the Third Legislature district of
Baltimore city, will propose to the
county members of the State that
Baltimore city be exempt from pay
ing the gasoline tax for lateral
roads.
John N Mackall, chairman OF the
State Roads Commission, said that
motorists of Baltimore city should
not be allowed to use the proposed
lateral roads in the counties if they
are exempt from paying for their
construction.
Mr. Mackall replied to the asser-
ton of Edward ]. Colgan, State
Senator from the Third Legislature
district, that he intended to propose
to county Senators comprise where
by Baltimore automobile owners
would not be forced to pay the "
cent gasoline tax for the lateral
roads.
The bill, including a 1-cent tax
for the elimination of all grade
crossings in the State, is before the
Finance Committee of the Senate
and the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House OF Delegates.
Mr.. Colgan- was quoted as saying
that he believed that the city was
generally opposed to the lateral road
tax, while the counties favored the
measure.
Discussing Mr.. Colgan's proposal,
Mr.. Mackall declared that he
thought Baltimore city motorists
would use the roads enough, to-
gether with the twenty per cent re-
turn on lthe amount collected to
justify the tax.
''It is ridiculous to think that
Baltimore motorists would not bene-
fit by the lateral roads," Mr.. Mackall
said. "If the Baltimore motorists
escape the tax for lateral roads, they
should not be allowed to use the
roads somebody else in the State
is forced to pay for.
" "The idea that Baltimore motor
vehicle owners should not pay for
construction of part of the State
highway system is not fair.
what method could be used to
tax only those in the counties on
gasoline and exempt the city
buyer ?" Mr.. Mackall asked. He
pointed out that it would not be
satisfactory to have a lower price
on gasoline in the city. A gasoline
tank on a automobile could be filled
in the city and the motorist could
ride all day over country roads
without buying extra-taxed gasoline
in the county, he asserted.

BIRDS ARE OF ECONOMIC
VALUE TO FARM WOOD


The care of birds should be made
0ort # the routine management of
farm wood lots, according to the
Biolomi"ai Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Intensive studies of the relation of
birds to wood lots made in the
last, which apply in most parts OF
the country show that in general
birds are a great asset to wood lots
and, with one or two executions
should he encouraged and protected
The direct benefit to trees from
birds is chiefly due to their distrib-
ution of seeds and the resulting re-
production. Birds carry in their
flight the fieshy fruits and nuts and
scatter them much farther from
their point OIL origin than would be
possible by any other natural means
They also aid in reseeding coniferous
raoc Birds are the most important
atlral check on tree destroying
odents and are of great value in
'ltting down the numbers OF an
onormors variety of insect pests of
oodlards. Indirect benefits como
$50 through the presence Of such
game birds as the ruffed grouse
hi h attracts hunters and Increase
he revenue of an entire neighbor
hood, end through bird life in gen
ral, which makes woodlands moro
ttractive for recreational purposes
Although the individual species O
birds present in wood lots may
iiffer according to climate an6
ocality, very few birds are undesir
lble. The yellow-bellied sapsucker
however, is one of the few. l.
oauses considerable damage to, tim
Der and should not be encouraged
A few kinds of hawks and occasion
lily screech-owls prey to an undesir
lble extent upon smaller birds tina
re beneficial because they eat in
ects. Such birds found causing
damage should be done away with
promptly.
The fundamentals of keeping de
irable birds on a wood land aree
IRE to protect them as thoroughly as
possible, to see that they have
continuous supply of water, to pro
vide nest boxes for the hole-nestine
species, and, when necessary, to
supplement- the natural food supply
Some Of the most favored kinds O.
wild berries can be planted about
he woodland margins, and winter
foods can be provided by means o.
various sheltering devices In trim
ming operations, provision can b,
made for some of the seed-eatine
birds by leaving some of thei,
savorite producing trees. The
prevention of fire is essential both
% good wood-lot management and to
he preservation of the birds. Prac-
ical'y every measure that is good
or the wood lot, including gradual
rather than wholesale cutting OF
mining of timber, is good for the
birds.
