SUSQUEHANNA POWER co. AP
PEALS FROM HARTFORD
ASSESSMENT
Seeks To Have Levy Put At Much
Lower Figure Than Named
BY The Commissioners

The Susquehanna Power Company
one of the Conowingo group controlled
by the Philadelphia Electric Company,
| in an appeal heard by the State Tax
Commission last week, requested re-
duction in its tax assessments from
about fifty per cent. of the cost of its
properties in Maryland to little more
than twenty-five per cent.
The total cost of the project in the
two Maryland counties, subject to
adjustment, was fixed at $42, ,211, 900
by George P. Roux, one of the COM
pany's engineers, in testimony. An
investment of approximately 4,0OO,-
GOO in Pennsylvania to. make cost of
about $50, 600, 900 for the entire project
was not considered in the Maryland
controversy
The company's appeal was from an
assessment of $18, ,915, 900 made by the
Board of County Commissioners of
Hartford County. 1t asked for an as
sessment of not more than So, 749, 900.
An assessment of $4,000, 900, made
by the Board of County Commissioners
OF Cecil county, was not contested by
the company. An appeal on the
grounds that it was too low was filed
with the commission, however, by
Murray J. Ewing, State supervisor of
assessments for Cecil county.
The total assessments on the prop
erty amounted to $55, ,612, 900. The
reduction asked by the company would
leave an assessment of SIS, 1880
Counsel and witnesses for the COM
pany asserted that much of the cost of
the property was for work, and that
the real property alone should be
assessed.

MARYLAND's MIRACLE HOUSE

Maryland's Miracle House," or

For ten years, the Maryland 1sl=.

ventorium for undernourished and
underweight children Of Maryland.
More than 1900 children have re-
ceived the benefits of fresh air, sum
shine, pure food, rest, salt water
bathing and health training under
expert supervision. Situated in
grove of pines, but stones throw
from the waters edge, within walk
ing distance from the Claiborne
wharf, this institution has extended
its activities each year. Starting in
1919 with accommodations for 19
children, the Miracle House" now
has 110 beds. Only recently the
program was enlarged in order to
care for adult patients as we'll. The
children from all sections of the
state are treated during the summer
vacation months. Adult Industrial
girls and women, needing preven-
torium care are now received during
the months of April, May, Septem-
ber, and October.
Each year there has been keen
but friendly rivalry among the
various county organizations and
groups to excel in the quality and
quantity of donations made to the
children. Cash, canned fruits, pre-
serves, clothes, etc., are received
during donation day from all Sec
tions of the state. One county or
ganization last year found it neces-
sary to use a large truck to trans
port their contributions.

Odd Sizes of Containers.

DR. JULIUS KLEIN of the Department Of
Commerce in q recent radio talk In the
National Forum conducted by The Evening
Star over the Columbia Broadcasting chain re-
ferred to the great waste In the distribution of
manufactured articles and farm products in
this country.
This is shown in the farm-produce container
industry, according to survey by the Bureau
of Agricultural Economies of the Department Of
Agriculture.
More than a billion containers are used In
the shipments from the farms, and these are
divided into five great classes--baskets, barrels,
crates, boxes and sacks.
There are seven types of baskets three of
barrels and several of boxes. The bags are
usually Of jute, although cotton and other
fibers are being studied for use.
But the great problem is not so much in
these different containers as In their sizes and
the various uses to which they are put. For
instance, given vegetable may be shipped In
all five types of containers in different parts
Of the country. In a New England city, spinach
was found packed in lettuce crates, egg cases.
orange boxes and hampers.
Boxes used for the shipment of cantaloupeS
have been made to At the pack; that is, If the
cantaloLpes ran large the boxes were increased
to accommodate given number, rather than
the number curtailed to Mt standard con-
tainer.
Such irregularities not only prevent the guam
tity production of standard containers, but also
materially add to the difficulties Of shipment
and storage.
1t is believed that considerable loss would be
averted If the practice of standard containers,
became general throughout the country.

prediction. People said of her, with amuse-
ment, that she was the worst dressed woman In
Hollywood She had no time. The quick times
Of affairs were too fast for her. Sometimes, late
at night. Tessault would find time to wind q
bit of gauze around her grim old hair or to
hold up against her square and bony chest
bouffant frock designed for some one young and
lovely. But in the main, Tessault stumbled into
her clothes Of morning too rushed to give
them thought and out of them of an evening,
too tired to care.
And SO the years marched by, and the life
time Of Tessault, who so loved finery herself,
was irrevocably given over to bedecking others.
Not without pride, mind you. The clothes de-
signed by Tessault and hung on the beautiful
young bodies of the motion picture girls were
gazed upon not by thousands, but by millions.
What designer in the history of the world,
old Tessault used proudly to challenge could
boast SO large public as her? For every frock
that left her workrooms millions were to cape
and admire. Nightly, as Tessault laid her weary
head upon her pillow. whole ornaments of eyes
were feasting upon the creative Vaccinations
of one Tessault. The lean rack Of Tessault's
body had denied the careSs of the sheer things
she loved, but on the other hand 1t had been
granted her to create them for others.
There was consolation in that, and there was
a sense of service Tessault had given happiness
to countless thousands, appeasing their eyes,
counteracting the daily drabness of life, illumi-
mating the screen with the genius of her desires.
And yet in the end that was not sufficient.
The suppressed, inhibitive cravings Of this
bony capable, grim-faced woman were to battle
their way to the surface.
When old Tessault was g. to the stupefaction
and hilarity of young and rollicking Holly

And, strangely enough they were mated with
q rightness that was impeccable.
A maid and a bachelor, both of them q re-
suit Of barren, hard-working lives had come
together In the twilight.
THE girls for whom Tessault had sewed
throughout the years, lavished her with
gifts. The press of the West Coast celebrated
the nuptials Of the grim old pioneer.
Late but not too late, Tessault found her
self confronted with the precious assignment of
designing and creating her own trousseau and
no June bride ever went to her wedding dlmier
or finer.
She was married in ivory satin, old lace, and
the beautiful children Of the beautiful people

able to climb medium grade or was

such a car, when passing was possible,
was usually found to be dangerous, either
because Of traffic moving in the opposite
direction or because Of the imposSibility
