Epntng planned in several sections the

ton OF dwellings on lots containing a.,

Gown sn opinion answering IN the az
frmative the question of whether the
Maryland National Park and Planning
Commission. created by the last LegiS-
nature and given general parking, plan
ming, coming and etc, jurisdiction over
eli territory in the Washington metro
politan district Of Maryland. has the
power 70 pass on the platS or plans Of a
proposed subdivision before general
plan Of the district is approved.
Ruling Against Broekes.
The decision was in the case OF
William IS. n. BrookeS against the
Park and Planning Commission. in
which il was sought to restrain the
commission from approving q plot in
creasiag the number OF lots in block
8 section ,, Bradley Hills, from s 10
81. and the number Of streets from
one TO three, on the ground that the
commission lacked authority to ap-
prove such 3 plan before adopting a
general development scheme for the
metropolitan district. Of which Brad
les Hills is a part and for the further
reason that such reSubdividing would
result in 'irrepsrahle injury" to the
plaintiffs property-lot : and part of
lot /. block !, section >. Bradley Hills
1t was contended on behalf of the
commission, however. that the act Of
the Legislature creating the metro
politan district and the commission
requires the commission TO approve
or oiSapprove the preliminary subdi-
vision plan. which precipitated the in
PRODUCTION OF the suit, either before or
after the adoption Of a general plan.

In diSmiSSing the bill. Judge Peter
held that the law imposes ON the COM
mission the duty Of approving or dis
approving platS or subdivisions. exerc;S-
ing a discretionary power after invest
igsting the surrounding circumstances
and that this duty is not dependent
upon whether or not a general plan
has been adopted.

DRUGS EXCITE
THE KIDNEYS,
DRINK water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against kid
ney trouble because we often eat too
much rich food. Our blood is filled
with acids which the kidneys strive
to filter out; they weaken from over
work, become sluggish, the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness
and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts; if you
suffer with sick headache, or dizzy,
nervous spells, acid stomach, or if
you have rheJ natiSm when the
weather is bad, begin drinking lots
of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces
of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
trailze the acids in the system so
they no longer are a source Of irri-
tation, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
injure, makes delightful efferves-
cent Whitewater drink and belongs
in every home, because nobody can
make a mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.-Adver-
tiSement.

AIR MONOPOLY
DENIED BY HEAD
OF RADIO Chain
N. B. C. Lost $500,000
Last Year, Senate Com
mittee Is Told.
BY ROSCOE b. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, Feb. president
Aylesworth of the National Broad
casting Company, charged by indie
pendent broadcasters with attempt
ing to monopolize the air, spent an
earnest hour Monday discussing the
question with the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee. He attempted
to prove that his accusers~ are all
wrong. 9
In order to prove that no censor
ship or partisanship is permitted, he
offered to let Senator Wheeler of
Montana, speak over the N. B. G..
chain on the coal strike situation al
any time he sees fit.
Cost is $4,000 an Hour
Interesting points made by Ayles-
worth we're:
That Walter Damrosch and the
New York Symphony Orchestra get
$4,000 an hour for broadcasting and
that John Mccormack gets $500,
and that the wire costs for carrying
such programs over the N. B. c..
chain of forty stations is about $4,000
an hour.
That the company has no control
over its chain, but has the same
relations with individual stations as
a press association has in supplying
individual newspapers.
That its only intent is to preserve
the high quality of it's programs
and to guard against political. eco
nomical or religious partisanship of
any kind.
Lose 100000 in Year
That the N. B. c. lost 100000
last year and wouldn't make a profit
if it could.
1.-THE company is owned jointly
by the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea, Westinghouse Company and
General Electric Company" said
Aylesworth. "They want to main
tain the high standard of programs,
fearing that listeners will lose in
terest. They all manufacture radio
equipment, you see."
