STATE BRIDGE 10 BE FREE
No Tolls Over Perryville Bridge
After September is

After September 15
Tolls ON the Susquehanna river
bridge between Perryville and Havre
de Grace will be abolished after
September Is, according to an
nouncement by John NJ Mackali
chairman Of State Roads Commits
sion.
The bridge was purchased by the
State in 1923 at a cost of $685., ,000.
It has brought a revenue OF about
$2005O00 a year since that time.
Recently it was converted into a
double-decker at cost Of $3.50, 900.
When the bridge was purchased
by the state several years ago the
act passed by the Legislature provid-
ed that the bridge should be made
free after sufficient tolls had been
collected to pay for the structure.
This amount had been received more
than two years ago but rather than
make it free then it was decided to
keep the tolls awhile longer and
double deck the span.
Within few weeks the work, in
Guiding the erection of automatic
gates at either end of the bridge to
be operated by the draw tender, will
have been completed and there will
be no further need for tolls.
Mayor Pennington and the City
Council of Havre de Grace are plan
ming appropriate exercises to cele-
brate the removal OF the toll. Gov
ernor Richie, Senator Tydings and
Chairman Mackall will be invited to
take part in the celebration.

FISHERMEN SALT
FISH FOR OWN USE
Selected Cod and Pollock
Prepared for Winter Home
Consumption.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
F1ARPSWELL, Me. R).-Now Is the
time of year that the older fisher
men along Names seacoast re-
ligiously carry out the annual sailing
down Of cod and pollock.
This is the genuine salt fish that cam
not be bought in stores-for it is pre-
pared for the fisher families own use.
The old-timers have knack when 1t
comes to preparing the Winters supply
of salt fish.
In October or early November the
fishermen save 800 or 400 pounds Of Sc
lected cod or pollock from their catches.
Some prefer the pollock for sailing.
The fish are trimmed of heads and tails,
cleaned and the backboneS removed.
Next they are spread open, skin side
down, and sprinkled with fine grade
of rock salt. Experts, usually will use
only certain grade Of the rock variety.
After "a hours this free salt is thor
oughly washed off and the fish are
spread on blakeS, flesh side up to the
"cure" in the wind and sun. None but
skilled hands touch the fish from this
point. At least twice day the fish must
be turned The experienced fish curer
can tell to nicely what they need--so
much sunshine, so much west or north
west wind, so much dry air and so much
cooling shade.
Keep OFF Rain and Fog.
Not for a moment must properly
cured salt fish be touched by rains, fogs
or damp east winds. In unfavorable
weather the fakes are taken indoors for
protection. At the end of 10 days or a
fortnight, if everything has gone well,
the fish will have been properly cured.
In the process the fish will have be-
come almost as hard as boards. But
storing in a cellar or other cool place
soon restores to them mellowness that
they retain all through the cold months.
It would seem to be fussy job. But,
as some gourmets say, there is salt fish
and salt fish. And those privileged to
sit down at feast of creamed salt fish
and baked potatoes as served in the
home of a veteran Maine coast fisher
man will find the repast of truly de-
licious flavor.

PRODUCTION OF OIL
FROM TREE SOUGHT
Nephew of Carnegie Carrying
on Experiment With
Chinese Tung.

FERNANDINA, Fla. R.-While
Thomas A. Edison is attempting
to grow a plant at Fort Myers from
which he hopes the United States can
produce its own rubber, r. Morris
Carnegie, nephew of the late steel mag
nate, is carrying on an equally unique
experiment near here on the production
of oil from the Chinese Tung tree.
Several years ago Mr.. Carnegie, who
is a student of botany and large
land owner on Cumberland Island, just
north of here, obtained some of the
Chinese Tung oil tree seeds and planted
them on his estate. 1t was only a
hobby for him, but still he believes the
oil from nuts, which grew on the trees,

AVIATION FOUNDERS
OVER LIGHT PROBLEM
Present System of Night Beacons
Is Not Considered
Infallible.

NEW YORK CAo).-The extra dimen-
sion of travel which birds, fishes, sub
marines and aviators alone enjoy
namely, change of height at willis
creating one of aviation's most difficult
night lighting problems
How this disadvantage operates Is
described by Prof. H. H. Sheldon, chair
man of the department of physics of
New York University Surface ships at
sea and land vehicles travel on fixed
or known plane, so that warning lights
may be flashed in that plane, with GER
tainty that the person approaching will
enter the bright part of the beam.
But the aviator may come flying along
far above or below the plane in which
the aviation beacon is focused.
The problem is met at present by
revolving bulls eye of light, so that its
luminous pencil describes cone in the
sky, which the aviator sees because OF
the illumination of dust or water vapor
sparticles in the path of the beam. It
has the advantage also that moving
beam has been found much easier for
"a birdman to sight than stationary
cray.
Rotation periods are timed so that
saviators may distinguish one light from
smother.

GERMAN LEADERS
LOOK TO FUTURE
Training of Youth Is Problem
Occupying Attention of
Teut0nS.

BERLIN, tR.-Training the juvenile
mind has always been great German
speciality.
The World War has upset many
preconceived notions here, but with
characteristic German thoroughness the
leaders of the nation have applied
themselves to the question what can be
done for the coming generations so
that the Fatherland may again arise
a great nation of men and women,
physically and mentally equipped to
claim a place in the sun.
Leave School at Ia.
Fourteen years is the age at which
working class children leave school in
Germany and when the question of
employment Immediately comes to the
forefront.
Today there are in Germany about
100000 young people between IA and
81 years of age What are they all
doing? What are their aims and OBJ
jects in life?
In matters of this kind Germans
take a long view. What to do with
coming generations up to 1910 is al
ready engaging attention. Population
figures, together with other facts re-
lating to juvenile life and occupation,
bore the name Young Germany" and
was located in the Bellevue Palace,
once the property of the eX-KaiSer.
System Ingrained.
Almost the first question Mayor
James j. Walker of New York was
asked when he visited here last year
was How are you educating your young
people in American" His answer, I'VE
don't-they practically educate them
selves" surprised the Germans. System
is ingrained in the German mind, and
Germans prefer to have the channels
well and truly laid to guide their youth
to maturely considered destinations
which in their Judgment will benefit
themselves, the state and the race.
To establish an eight-hour working
day and an annual vacation of from
two to three weeks is demand which
is being insisted upon by the leaders OF
the Youth Movement"
Run Own Organizations.
Many big firms run their own welfare
and sports organizations. In addition,
advice centers are spread all over the
country to assist boys and girls in
choosing career. Ingenious appliances
are used to test quickness of eye ana
dizziness and SteadineSs Of hand. In
the past IL months $4,000 boys and
$4,000 girls secured situations judged
to be peculiarly adapted to their
physical conditions.
The party system, political and
religious seizes hold Of Germany'S youth
early in life. More than 100000 young
persons, boys and girls, belong to es-
tablished societies, including the small
group of self-confessed "Old Germanic
Heathens," who worship Wodan and
whose emblem is the Hammer of Thor,
the God of Thunder.

on the same parallel as that which
proved the most productive in China.

to produce them on a commercial basis.
