MARYLAND LEGISLATORS
TO DEBATE PAY HIKE BILL
By STAFF Correspondent of The star.

By a Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 27.-The
D'Alessandro bill, which proposes an
amendment to the constitution of
Maryland raising the pay of members
of the Legislature from SIS to SIS day,
and which came back from the Senate
yesterday with an amendment making
the raise to $40, was made a special
order of business for this afternoon.
The fact that the House did not i'm
mediately concur In the Senate amend
ment indicates that there will be some
debate on the matter. It has been
generally talked around the halls of the
State capitol that legislators cannot
come to the State Capital and live de-
Gently on S. a day, and practically all
of them have to go into their own pock-
cts to meet the bills incident to their
attendance at the biennial sessions.

present law limits them to the power of
condemning for opening new or i'm
proving all roads and bridges. The
measure was sought, it was explained,
SO that the county commissioners could
proceed to carry out any projects for
public purposes, without undue delay.
The other bill would repeal, as to
Montgomery County, State law which
says that no public road shall be
opened or altered SO as to pass through
the buildings, gardens, yards or burial
grounds of any person without the
written consent of the owner.
When he heard that the Senator had
killed the two measures, which he con-
siders important to the development OF
the county during the next few years,
Speaker Lee, together with other men,
bers of the delegation, sought an inter-
view with the Senator for the purpose
of asking him for his reasons for killing
tho measure. The speaker said that he
was unable to get the interview yester-
day, but would continue his efforts TO-
day.
SLAUGHTER House Bill Passed.
The bill which would preclude the
establishment of a slaughter house In
Montgomery County, by giving the
Montgomery County commissioners au-
thority to regulate and control their
location, was passed by the House yes
terday and sent to the Senate. Reports
have come to the delegation that efforts
would be made to locate such project
in the county, following unsuccessful
efforts to date to locate one in Airing
ton County. It will be stubbornly re-
sisted. The bill also would provide for
the regulation and location of dog KEN
nels, hogpens and cow yards within the
metropolitan district.
The proposed new road development
over the present route of the old Viers
Mill road, an old and unused highway,
making a direct and short cut from the
Georgia avenue road at Wheaton to
Rockville, was approved by the House
yesterday The House also passed the
bill prohibiting the sale Of fireworks

cial taxing area and include 1t in the

 I was on my course with 500 miles to go. From Regina to Ed mCuton there were no landmarks which could be checked on at night. Although morning twilight begins in that region about 2 o'clock. the fact that I was travel ing due northwest and away from the dawn, made darkness follow me until within 20 miles of Ed monton where I landed at 3:45 a. m.

 Following nearly three hours of valley chasing, having zig-zagged up one valley down another I came out at Atlin Lake directly on my course, but somewhat the worse for wear, as flying at 150 miles an hour along winding bottoms of valleys hemmed in by rugged mountains, is not con- ducive to restful meditation.
 From Lake Atlin on, the weather cleared somewhat and landed, took on gas and left for Fairbanks. Here I refueled. hopped off for Nome, and once again I had low clouds and mist as travelling companions.

 I reached Nome at 6:10 D. m. having covered the 1,5OO miles from Vanderhoof in 12 hours. I remained in Nome one hour and and then returned to Fairbanks, getting there at II p. m.-stlll broad daylight

 I had unbuckled my safety belt and was ready to jump, much as I hated to leave my ship, but I saw no other way out. As l stood up in the cockpit of the plane I obtained a better view of the land directly beneath me and spotted a small clearing

tion OF radical new gridiron rule,

"The new rule" said . formal

ply to blocked kicks which will pc
played as heretofore"
Three other important changes
were announced by the committee,
effective for the 1929 season.
The former rule restricting the
kicking side from advancing the ball
in case Of subsequently, legally re-
covering it has been extended to COW
er free kicks and kick offs, for
merly it applied only to punts.
In the hope Of having the try for
point after touchdown constitute
more often = triple threat play, the
rules-makers have moved the point
from which the try is to Be made
from the three to the two yard line.
The rule to restrict the use Of the
so-called screen pass, not regarded
@ altogether effective last year. was
amplified to provide that mo player
Of the side in possession Of the ball
shall interfere with m opponent un-
til the ball has been touched, ex.
cent in the case Of m actual attempt
to catch the ball" Furthermore ex-
|cept on passes completed behind the
line Of scrimmage, such players as
arc ineligible shall be penalized for
interference If they obstruct the
right Of way Of defensive players.

the sled directly under the wheels Of
the car. His leap momentarily held
the sled with it, human load from the
same fate that Midge met. The auto
sped away.
sobbing, the brothers picked up
their pal. writhing In pain in the cold
snow. Tenderly they placed him on
the sled while Midge gratefully licked
their hands and wagged his tail be-
tween low yips Of pain.
Home, they put him to bed and
called q doctor. The doctor found no
broken bones or evidence Of internal
injuries. Right front leg and left hip
were almost crushed.
Two small boys when they leave

DepIorabIe Conditions Alleged
by National Magazine Not
Found in Bismarck
WAHPET0N SCHOOL IS SAME
Investigation Made by Local
Citizens After General At.
tack on institutions

Management Of the Bismarck In
dian school is good and conditions
are generally satisfactory.
That is the substance OF report
made BY q local committee repre-
senting the Bismarck Association Of
Commerce after making an inspec-
tion Of the school.
The investigation was requested
by the u. S. Department Of the In
terror and Indian Affairs Bureau
through C. B. Dickinson, superir-
tendent Of the school, after an at
tack on the Indian schools in general
had been made by 2 national maga-
zine.
The investigating committee was
made up of DIR. J. @. Arnson. Mrs.
F. L. Conklin, and Mrs. c. w. Moses.
A similar investigation was made
at the Wahpeton school, where
health conditions were found good
except for a temporary setback due
to influenza. Assertions that there
was partial starvation among the
students at Wahpeton are denounced
by the Wahpeton committee as "ab-
solutely false"
The Bismarck committee has rec
commended that dental inspections be
made at least once year, instead OF
every Is months; that dormitory
space be increased to overcome
crowding; that better locker rooms
and better bathing facilities be pro-
vided; and that butter, instead OF
oleomargarine, and fresh fruit be
added to the foods.
The committee undertook to ascer-
tain the physical condition Of the pu-
pills, the sanitation Of their quarters,
the adequacy of the housing and
feeding, the state Of their medical
care, and the general treatment Of
the students. No attempt was made
to determine the efficiency Of the
teaching department or the character
Of the work accomplished from the
professional standpoint.
Dealing with the physical condi-
tion Of the students the report says
mo physical examinations were
made, but, from the impressions OBJ
tanned from the appearance OF all
students, we concluded that they
were in good state Of nourishment
and appeared healthy and happy.
The bodies Of the children apparent
" were clean. Their clothing was in
good order, neat and clean. Only two
Of the students were i'll at this time
and they were suffering from mild
respiratory infection.

as we'll as almost any other to indicate
that appealing femininity is the back
ground of the show, and it might be
emphasized that the show is as good
of its kind as any that has appeared
here this season. In fact. in some re-
spects 1t is bit better than many Of
its predecessors, for, in addition to its
numerous offerings of songs. dances and
humorous incidents. it carries a sug-
gestion of the big revue which is most
attractive.
Jack Hunt, who leads the comedy ele-
ment, opens up many vistas of laugh
able nonsense, and Opal Taylor, who is
the feminine star of the troupe, is ex-
cellently supported in many songs and
dancing numbers. Flora breath gives
a strong personality to the array of
girls, and Mile Kennedy stands out in
songs and dance offerings. An un-
usually vivacious chorus representing
the various types of feminine beauty, is
very substantial asset and helps to
put over bright musical score more
effectively.
