AUTOMATIC BLOCKS WILL
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
B. & o. to Install New Appliance
from Cumberland to Grafton

Work on the installation of an au-
tomato block system between Cum
berland and Grafton, W. Va, has
been started by workmen of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad under the
direction of Division Engineer Ar
thur. R. Carver.
1t is estimated that at least seven
months will be required to complete
the work, which will cost approx
mately 100000. More than one hun
dred of the automatic blocks will be
installed on the 102-mile stretch of
road between Cumberland and Graf
ton. Concrete bases for the new con-
trivance are now being built by rail-
read employees who are working from
Cumberland westward.
When completed the automatic
blocks will eliminate the manual block
system and will speed up train move
ment to a greater extent, it is said.
The automatic system will also safe
guard trains and prevent accidents,
which are possible under the manual
block system.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President Hoover's message to Con-
gress Tuesday was marked by admir-
able restraint in statement and clarity
in reasoning. The outstanding purpose
of the extra session is to give the sort
of agricultural relief for which the
country voted last November. Mr..
Hoover's speeches in the Presidential
campaign had already outlined the
farm policy submitted by the Republi-
can party to the voters. 1t is for Con-
gress to provide the enabling legisla-
ton.
Agriculture, as the President points
out, is not one industry, but score OF
industries, and the specialization
which has come with the last few dec
AIDES has materially affected direct
consumption of products on the farm
and thus complicated the problems of
marketing. There can be no single
sleight-o Of hand remedy of political
nature like the equalization fee. The
assistance given must be primarily
economic, and also varied in charac
ter, including financial aid from the
government, better tariff protection,
improved transportation and broad CO.
operation with the farmers assOcia
tons in eliminating distribution
wastes and restraining overproduc-
ton. To check overproduction moth
ing is more important than to dis
courage the cultivation of unprofita-
BILE marginal land, which is the most
disturbing factor in the export sur
plus situation.
The President looks at the farm
problem from the engineering point
of view. He wisely cautions Congress
that the difficulties of agriculture
cannot be cured in a day; they cannot
all be cured by legislation; they can
not be cured by the Federal govern
ment alone" But new start can be
made and the problem can be APP
preached with economic precision and
intelligence. That is the main task of
the extra session, says the New York
Herald.
AS to tariff revision, some other in
dustries besides agriculture deserve
inclusion-the ones which, as the Elk
ecutive says, have suffered from the
slackening of activity and decrease
in employment. 1t is not a case, how
ever, of creating new basis of pro-
tective duties. differentiation is still
troublesome. The foreign value is the
normal base on which to levy protec-
tive duties But its ascertainment is
hindered in many ways, especially in
the case of imports which offer sharp
competition with American products.
The President favors only limited
tariff revision at this time. He also
recommends census and reapportion
ment legislation and suspension of
the national origins clause of the i'm
migration act of 1924 All these ques-
lions can be considered within the
scope Of relatively short session.
Expedition and early adjournment
are purposes which the new Congress
should also keep steadily in mind.

Firemen Subdue Blaze Last
Saturday Morning

Fire, supposed to have been caused
by falling spark from a Baltimore
and Ohio locomotive, burned a por-
ton of the roof of the dwelling at the
corner of Liberty and Wilson streets,
on the old electric light plant prop
erty, last Saturday morning about
Ills.
The Oakland Fire department ans
wered the call and brought the blaze
under control in about fifteen minutes.
For a few minutes the flames, famed
by strong wind, threatened to break
out over the entire roof, but by aid of
the hose line this danger was averted.
The house is occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Sines, and is owned by D. E.
Offutt, 1t is said that the building
was insured for $1,000.

GOVERNOR AFFIXES VETO
ON z COUNTY MEASURES
Bills Relating to County Treas
urer and Election Supervisors
Are Killed By Executive

In an orgy of final disposition Of
bills passed by the 1929 session of the
Legislature, Governor Richie last
Thursday affixed his signature of 579
and vetoed Sc measures which had re-
ceived legislative approval. Among
the number vetoed were House bills
Nos. 333 and A relating to govern
ing the auditing and collection of
taxes in Garrett county, and provid-
ing for half pay to the election super
visors in this county in years when
there was no election.
Sixteen of the measures vetoed
were Implications of Senate or House
bills, and nine were introduced to re-
peal obsolete laws.
House bill No. A, providing that
the supervisors of elections of Gar
rett county shall be paid salary only
in those years in which there is an
election, was passed by both House
and Senate with the amendment that
every off year of election the salaries
of the election supervisors would be
one-half. By the Governors veto this
gives the election supervisors full pay
as before.
The other House bill vetoed related
to the collection of taxes, the sale of
property for the non-payment of tax
es, the auditing of the books of the
County Treasurer and the bond of the
County Treasurer. The bill originally
related also to removing the prohibi-
ton against the Treasurer succeed
ing himself, but this was amended to
read that the County treasurer could
not succeed himself, and the veto by
the Governor in no way affects the
present law which reads that the
Treasurer cannot succeed himself.
The vetoed bill called for the Coun-
ty treasurer to publish a notice the
first week of July containing a list of
names Of property owners or taXpay-
ers, with the amount of taxes due and
unpaid on the first day of July in the
year next succeeding that in which
the same shall have been levied; the
notice to contain a statement that if
taxes were not paid promptly the
property would be advertised for sale.
and that the cost of publishing said
notice would be paid for by the Coun-
ty Commissioners.
The bill also directed the County
commissioners to notify the treasurer
to proceed to collect according to law
all taxes unpaid and in arrears on
July first each year, and that if not
collected or advertised for sale within
ninety days from said first day of
July, the County commissioners
should proceed against the bond of
the county treasurer.
Taking the fish from the Little
Savage river in Garrett county, au-
thority for Garrett county to levy
$3.50 in taxes per year for sheriff's ex-
penses, were two measures signed by
the executive.

or 80 percent. OF this number Gar
rett county had 1915, and was the
fourth highest county in the State. In

formed in Garrett county.
During the year 1928 there were
1876 divorces granted in the State
as compared with 2,O59 in 1927, repre-
senting a decrease of 83 or percent
Of this number Garrett county had
10, as compared with 16 in 1927. There
were 26 marriages annuled in the
State in 1928 as compared with q in
1927.
These figures were furnished by the
State Department of Health.

Fire Company Receives Checks
To Hold Food Sale

A check for $40 was received by the
Oakland Volunteer Fire Department

saw mill at Bear Creek was destroyed

partment responded to call and
prevented flames from spreading
to other lumber nearby. Mr., j. W.
Mccullough, Friendsville, also sent in
a donation of S. to the fre-fighters.

partment's benefit on Saturday, be-
ginning at 10 o'clock, at G. A, Fra

HELP FOR THE MISSIONS

Catholics who pay no attention to
special appeals for missionary efforts
under the impression that the ordi-
nary revenues are sufficient for the
purpose will do we'll to consider,
among other things, the prediction
that ALLEGATIONS to the missions this
year from the receipts of the Society
for the Propagation Of the Faith will
not exceed $2,500,000 where $50,000,-
900 is needed. Manifestly, even with
the scantiest Of provender for them
selves, the missionaries cannot make
one dollar do the work of twenty-five,
and their reliance must be placed up
on special contributions. 1t is not an
ideal situation, as the magazine Cath
Ollie Missions points out in its current
issue, but the missionaries should not
be made to suffer for it, nor their
work handicapped on that account. In
deed it holds forth this assurance:
that because of the very scarcity of
finances in the mission field, bene-
factor may be justified in feeling that
his money will do its full share of the
work. Wherever the missionaries go,
churches, schools and hospitals are
erected with almost incredible econ
omy. And the need for increasing
support is as strikingly shown by the
fact that hundreds of missions want
the simplest of equipment for lack
of few hundred dollars.-The Com
monweal.

Women's Rights ,
We're Scant If Wed,
Under 1900 Laws

Unmarried ladies of q century
ago may not have remained single
because they were lacking in suitors,
for staying away from the altar was
the only way the gentle sex could
keep intact any property they might
happen to possess, says the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards.
Less than 100 years ago, a mar
ried women could not own property
outright; she could not sell her land
or will it to her children without
her husbands consent; but single
women had all the property rights
they enjoy today.
Then, when woman married,
her husband got an interest IN her
land, He became the owner of her
wages and even her clothes. He was
entitled to the rents from her hold
ingS and the profits from any bus
mess in which she might engage.
Today a husband Is only the other
party who got married, for long
before the girls got the vote welded
women secured the right to DO
property owners.

YEAR LEASE
TOLD TO REALTORS
National Association Official
Addresses Sessions on
Appraisal Tasks.

An appraisal of leasehold is not
a self-evident thing, but rather calls
for Sherlock Holmes ability for fer
reting out the facts in the case, ac-
cording to Mark Levy, chairman of
the brokers' division of the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards.
An appraisal of a leasehold, he de-
clares, requires wide background In
real estate and knowledge Of leases,
with all their possible peculiarities.
and sound judgment of current local
values Of real estate.
In an address at the recent con-
vention Of the national organization
of realtors, Mr.. Levy described some
of the most interesting leaseholds in
this country.
Lease for 1000 Years.
The average man sometimes has his
worries about the monthly check for
the landlord, but in Boston there's a
man who holds a lease made in 1917
lates payment of rent in Russian sable
iron, he said. Some years ago Russian
sable iron was not obtainable and the
lease figured in a court litigation. The
court held that rendering cash payment
In an amount equivalent to the market
price of Russian sable iron established
the good faith of the lessee and refused
to permit the lessor to break the lease.
Marshall Field & Co., Chicago, are
holders of a 99-year lease, which, ac-
cording to Mr.. Levy, calls for the
greatest amount Of annual rent Of any
lease in the United States. The rents
are graduated, but by the end of the
90 years Marshall Field & Co. will have
paid for ground occupied by the main
department store and annex . total Of
$104, 100000. The rent bill comes to
around q million annually.
Lord e. Taylor Co., New York City,
pay no small rent bill annually for the
ground of their Fifth avenue building

REALTY ACTIVITY CROPS.

June real estate activity is indicated
by the figure 1913. according to the
statistics compiled by the National AS
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards from
the number Of deeds recorded in So
its data. using 1925 as base year upon
which to compare activity from month
to month. The index for May was 1876
and the April figure was 85.7.
This Is the tenth index figure to be
computed by the association in the new
series. Formerly the association COM
piled index figures based not on deeds
alone but on all transfers and convey
ances In cities reporting. For that rea-
son the former series Is not comparable
with the present one.

$500, 900, Mr.. Levy stated.

$500, 900, Mr.. Levy stated.
"All cities don't own their parks. IN
Vancouver, British Columbia, there is
a 99-year lease which covers the largest
tract that know of which is held
under a long-term lease. I am aware,
however, of negotiations now pending
for the lease of one of the Bahama
islands by one of the movie magnates
of the United States. If negotiations
are consummated, this lease, ofs course.
will cover a much larger area Of land"
Mr.. Levy described a Detroit lease
hold for a parcel Of land only six
inches wide. These six inches extend
IS feet in depth and were leased for
the entire term. The lease was made
for the purpose of permitting the cree
ton Of a wall.

Advice Is Given on Furnishing Residence
To Allow Ease in Moving Through House.

the house as a depository for every
conceivable What-not Let simplicity be
the keynote in your furniture and in
decorating your walls.
The wall covering, whether paint or
paper, should be background for the
pictures, curtains, rugs and furniture.
If your wallpaper is glaring and filled
with ornate designs and patterns, the
eye will be drawn to the wall and not
to the pictures.
I am not necessarily an advocate of
a room being all of one period. Variety
in style is, to me, pleasing. I think.
however, one reason for the demand for
period rooms is that the eye and the

BY WILLIAM HARMON BEERS.

In the small house the living room is
usually the largest, and in furnishing it
one should consider that 1t will be in
constant use. Furniture should not
make circulation difficult. Don't put
table or chair directly between two
doors, one leading from the hall and
the other leading to the dining room.
There will be constant passing from
one door to the other. and 1t will be a
nuisance II one has continually to dodge
around a table.
If the room has q fireplace. group
the chairs and perhaps a sofa around
it, so that on cold Winter evenings you
can gather near the fire.
Don't overcrowd your living room.
