LAWS ENDANGER LIBERTY

T., r. Preston, Presidentfof the
American Bankers Association,
sounds warning that the entire
structure of American democracy is
tottering toward disaster because OF
desire of legislators to pass laws
and create illimitable government
bureaus.
In the 40 years since the American
Constitution was written, this gov
eminent has enacted more laws than
all the rest OF the civilized world
combined since the psgth OF Christ,
he said. New ones are proposed at
the rate of $4,000 a year and about
Is per cent of these get ON the stat
ute books. 1t would take man
working eight hours day seven
years to read all the laws enacted
last year. Yet ignorance of the law
is no excuse.
Courts are being so congested
with cases that the District Attorney
In New York estimates that il every
defendant should demand a Jury
trial. the calendars there would be
500 years behind in four years.
Americans will go to war and
give their LIES blood for liberty,
then turn around and enact laws de-
priving themselves of all liberty"

SOUTHERN DRYs TO FIGHT
SMITH

Embattled prohibitionists repre-
senting fourteen Southern and bord-
err States gave form and substance to
their protests against Gov. Alfred E..
Smith last week by calling upon all
dry Democrats to vote for the Re-
publican nominee, Herbert Hoover.
At the same time it was announc-
ed that an all-Southern campaign
would be waged to deliver half or
maybe all the States in the South to
the Republican ticket and to that
end campaign funds from the Repub-
lican National Committee would be
welcomed in order that state, county
and precinct organizations might be
set up.
Also, it was announced that head
quarters for the South-for-Hoover
movement would be set up in Rich
mond, Va, capital of that other
Southern rebellion Of some seventy
years ago, one result of which was to
place the Republican party in power
for sixty-eight years with only two
breaks.
That the Democrats who will be
asked to vote for the Republican
candidate may understand why, a
declaration or platform was adopted
containing some 5000 words and
savagely assailing Governor Smith
for .'repudiating' the Houston plat
form, for daring to propose any
modification OF prohibition. for Sc.
lecting John J. Raskob as national
chairman and for being member OF
Tammany Hall.
A further attack was made upon
the New Yorker by the platform
committee, personal attack accus-
ing the Democratic nominee. OF loose
habits in the matter of drinking,
but the conference struck this out OF
the text.

More than two years has been
spent in completing the first COM
plication ever made of existing state
criminal laws governing arrests. pre-
liminary examination, bail methods
or prosecution, grand jury procedure
and indictment, by Dean VIM. Il.
Mikell and Professor Edwin r.
Keedy, Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania Law School.
It is revealed that state laws relat-
ing to indictment probably are more
diverse, more responsible for mis-
carriage of justice and more gener-
ally in need Of reform than any
other single group Of laws governing
procedure in criminal cases. The
compilation illustrates strfkingly
the multiplicity OF criminal laws in
the various states, and emphasizes
the necessity for uniform code.

GAS TAX NOT REFERABLE

Judge Adkins has handed down an
opinion in the Court of Appeals, tc
the effect that the cent and halt
gasoline tax passed by the last Cen
eral Assembly does not come within
the class of laws that are referrable
to the people, and has ordered re-
versed the order of Judge Robert
Moss, in the Circuit Court OF Anne
Arundel, which directed David G.
Winebrenner, 3d. Secretary of State,
to place the question of the addition
al gasoline tax on the November bal
lot so that the voters might decide
whether or not they wanted it. AL
the judges of the court concurred in
the opinion.

TRACIOR-IOOL OF ALL WOfth
More tractors on the farms, the
general use of tractors "a hours a

feature article in the Fargo Forum
Throughout the country manifold
uses of the tractor are being increas
ingly understood and practiced.
Farmers have found that it replaces
old, inefficient machinery and meth

enthusiastic response than any agri-

SEED INSPECTION NOW IN
PROGRESS

With the wheat crop in the State
harvested and some of it threshed,
farmers who. had their fields examin-
ed for certification and desire the
final inspection are urged by the
Seed Certifcation Board~at College
to send in threshed sample of the
wheat that they would like certified.
This, with the sample taken from the
field before harvesting, will deter
mine into which of the three classes,
established for seed wheat in the
State, the partictliar grain will fall.
Tags showing the per cent OF in
gradients other than wheat are sent
to the owner and these tags must be
placed on every bag of grain that is
sold for seed purposes. A list of
the seedsmen who have had their
grain tested is kept by the Board and
those desiring to buy seed may learn
of the nearest grower by writing to
the University of Maryland.
The Maryland Seed Certification
Board, which works in cooperation
with the Maryland Crop Improve
ment Association, uses the ollowing
standard in rating seed wheat in the
State:
Certified seed is seed of variety
adapted to Maryland that is $50
pure as to variety, traceable to an
accepted origin, free from garlic and
sinking smut, with not more than
liz weeds and testing not less than
500 in termination. Listed seed is
seed of an adapted variety. 1t does
not quite meet the requirements for
certification, but is high class and is
usually cleaner and purer than seed
ordinarily found on Maryland farms.
Rejected seed is that which is con-
sidered unfit for seeding purposes.
Inspection and certification OF seed
in the State is becoming moreepopu-
lar each year and as the supply OF
good seed wheat has never kept pace
with the demand very fine market
has been developed in recent years
for the product.

CHANGES IN THE STATE DE
PARTNIENT !

The State Department is the de-
partment of peace, says letter from
Washington and quotes former Sec
rotary Hughes as authority.
It is further pointed out in this
letter that it is not the Navy or the
War Department which has the ma;
jor responsibility in case of threat
ened war. 1T is the State Depart
ment which, by its handling OF
controversy with other countries,
either prevents war or makes it in
evitable."
The 69th and 10th Congresses
both considered the necessity OF en-
larging the State Department and
drawing into it the strongest and
most helpful men to be obtained
In order to do this it has been urged
that a larger appropriation be made
for its uses. It's one of those
things which at first hearing or read
ing seems unbelievable that the pres
ent appropriation for the War and
Navy Department amounts to ST.
900, 900 day for each. The cur
rent appropriation to the State De-
Ipartment is $11,000.0O0 for the
year and of. this three fourths comes
back in collected fees. So that the
actual cost of the State Department
to Government during the year is
only between two and three million
dollars. IAN expenditure for one
year ON the State Department OF ap-'
lproximately what is spent upon the
departments of defense in one day. !"
Many petitions have been sent to
tCongress and the President urging
that a Department of Peace be es
tablished. Meantime much can be
done to strengthen peace through
the Department which Secretary
Kellogg is now using for his multi
lateral treaties. The present Secre-
tary seems to realize the truth OF
Mr.. Hughes statement that the de-
partment which both men have head
ed has much of that peace in it's
hands, and Secretary kellogg ex-
pressed his own !, beliefs when he
said; ''The Government of the Unit
ed State sdesires to see the institu-
ton of war abolished and stand
ready to conclude with the French,
British, Italian and Japanese a,
single multilateral treaty open to-
subsequent adherence by any and all
other Governments, binding the par
ties thereto not to resort to war with
one another"
Mr.. Kellogg prefaced this by say
ing: 'All was is an assault upon the
stabilit yof human society, and
should be suppressed in the common
interest
For the Strengthening of the State
Department definite plans are being
made. One is that a Home Service
be created as companion to the For
eign Service hwich was established
by the Rogers Act OF 1924 Anoth-
|er is that two undersecretaries be
provided for, instead of one. as at
present, and six assistant secretaries
instead of four 1t also provides
for free interchange OF positions
by the diplomatic and consular off,
GERS, ON the theory that. experience
gained by service as consul is es-
sential to the sympathetic conduct
of. international. relations.
The furtherance of these plans for
cnlai gjng the State Department i ii
putting it into shape to better con
slider international relations is one of
the constructive, and little heraldel
staps of the SEVENTEEN Congress.

people that when they begin to wear
glasses they must" keep on wear
ing them, drives the Government
surgeons into impotence. Here is
the way that claim is answered:
at is not a matter of must keep
on but that vision is so much bet
ter with the glasses" After wear
ing the glasses the individual is not
satisfied unless he keeps them on.
Zone often hears statement
that a father, mother or some rela-
tive lived to a very old age and
never had to wear glasses" says the
official health bulletin, which fol-
lows this with the answer that, lin
most cases this means that such
people had one normal eye and one
near-sighted eye, and the normal
eye was used for reading in ad-
vanced age"
The statement quoted above sums
up the hygiene of the eye" in three
short sentences, as follows:
1. Proper protection of the eye
from infections.
2. The use of proper lighting
conditions.
8. Periodic and systematic ex-
aminations of the eyes by physic-
ians who have made the eye their
speciality.

international Relations

Ships that unload their passen-
gers from Bermuda show that wo-
men travellers are still buying doe
skin cloth that has been famous in
those Islands for many years. In
cidentally it is a British product,
and when brought in as baggage it
pays no customs duty. With it is
worn jackets of beautiful American
transparent velvet. Thus harmony
and style, as we'll as harmony in
international relations, is being sat
isfied by the new hook-up.
Hygiene Of the Eyes
In radio talks given under the
direction of the United States Pub
lie Health Service, details are given
about caring for the eyes from the
time of birth. The theory is set
forth that defective vision often af-
fects the general health of the
child" and influences habits that
hake him lean forward, or assume
a STOPPING posture which tends to
cramp his chest and prevents the
proper expansion of the lungs.
These habits may predispose to tu-
berculosis.
Reddened or infiamed eye lids, or
the appearance of a slight amount
of matter on the edge of the lids,
and the corner of the eye, are dan
ger symptoms, which should be re-
sponded to by a prompt visit to a
physician. Proper corrected lenses
usually relieve the troubles.
The Public Health Service says
that adults should have their eyes
examined once at least every two
years. There should be no neglect
or delay in securing eye glasses
with the right kind of lenses at any
time when the eyes indicate that
Nature is calling for help. The
health officials speak of the neces-
sity of having eye glasses that re-
main firmly in place, in some of
their literature.
The shell rim glasses that are
worn by the majority of the people
answer this purpose as they stay
where they are put and are less
liable to break while at the same
time their broad surfaces protect
the lenses.
The Public Health Service says
that the standard graduated visual
charts which are used by eye spec
ialists are dependable in measuring
the vision. The complaint Of many

On the evening of July 81, it was
noted that % adult moths IN one jar
in the insectary laid 926 eggs, and
on the evening of August 2, moths
in twelve diperent jars laid 1496
eggs, which shows clearly the ne
cessity for a continued protection

fact to be kept in mind, however, IS
to remember that apples at harvest

age to the heavily laden trees. A

the most efficient in serving as a

In the event that dry-mix is sub
stituted for dust, it should be used
at the rate of 40 pounds to 200 gal
Ions of water, with an addition of
4 pounds of lead arsenate on late
varieties only. No spreader should
be used, but an excess Of lime
should be added where the s.rsenate
