there been any dispute, either by
the newly taxed taxpayers, nor
from the former heavily burdened
ones, over the new modern method.

old feudal system of European
kings

the roads to Baltimore, Washington and
Annapolis intersect, Mrs. Allen declared
that the women of that section would
not cease their efforts until commercial
signs surrounding the monument are
removed. But that spot is only one of
many similar scenes along the Bladens-
burg road. with Cottage City and Bla-
denSburg perhaps the worst examples,
Mrs. Allen said.
Some of the signs around the
Bladensburg Memorial Cross were re-
moved few years ago when it was
demonstrated they constituted a traffic
hazard, but they have since been rebuilt
in other locations which do not direct
ly interfere with motorists vision
Although they do not now hinder
traffic" Mrs. Allen said, they are a
terrible background for that beautiful
memorial"
Historic Spots Spoiled.
The Memorial Cross is highly signifi-
cant to every mother in the county,
Mrs. Allen said, and for that reason
she expects the Federation will be
heartily in favor of having its setting
made more appropriate. The cross was
erected by the Snyder-Farmer Post of
the American Legion of Hyattsville.
From a patriotic as well as from a
public welfare motive we are anxious
to rid that particular spot on the high
way from the spirit of commercialism
that now prevails there" Mrs. Allen
said. A photographer of The Star Wis
ited the scene yesterday and took pic
lures Of the billboards which sur
round it.
Not only Is the Bladensburg Memorial
Cross the victim of commercialized
activity, Mrs. Sheriff pointed out, but
signboards clutter the scenery about
every historic marker on the roads.
These historic spots appeal particularly
TO the outdoor advertiser because of
the number of tourists who pause TO
read the markers.
Drastic Action Possible.
Mrs. Sheriff declared that her COM
mittee is preparing to make a study
OF the laws and zoning regulations af-
fecting billboards with a view to de-
termining its course of action. Some
of the townships, she said, are receiving
revenues from the billboard people. This
is another matter into which her COM
mittee will investigate.
The Maryland Capital Park
and Planning Commission and other
Prince Georges County organizations of
power and influence will be asked to
cooperate with the Women's Fedora
ton in their campaign
Mrs. Sheriff said the effect of the
billboardS IN marring the landscape
were brought directly home to her re-
Gently when a large sign was erected
directly across from her residence on
the nnapolis-Landover road "It is
bad enough for tourists coming TO Wash
ington TO realize that such conditions
exist in the suburbs of the National
Capital, she said, but 1t is harder still
for permanent residents who are COM
PEELED to see these signs year in and
year out. The residents are particularly
sensitive about the conditions around
the Bladensburg Memorial, which really
could be made an attractive intersec-
ton II the signs could only be taken
down"

BUSINESS OF NAVY
Admiral Cheatham Shows
Saving in Fuel Costs by
Use of Own Ships.

Explaining that the average cost of
the Navy ration during the past fiscal
year was $0.5346, Rear Admiral j. j.
Cheatham, paymaster general of the
Navy, in his annual report to Secretary
Adams, made public yesterday, said that
an increase in 20 per cent of bids re-
ceived by the Bureau of Supplies and
Accounts indicates "a wider interest in
Navy business on the part of the COM
mercial world"
Purchases centralized in the bureau
amounted to some $4,000 900 for the
fiscal year, representing an increase of
about 18 per cent over the previous
year, Admiral Cheatham asserted. Dur
ing the year 81 eagle boats, submarine
and Is other vessels were sold, he said.
Supply Strength Lost.
The Navy is now almost exclusively
oil-burning, the admiral said, and as a
result the naval coal depots at Melville
and Hampton Roads are being aban-
doned and the quantities to be kept in
storage at other points materially re-
duced." The scope of fuel oil and gaSo-
line contracts entered into for the fiscal
year has been broadened to include re-
quirements for other Government de-
adding that this was done at their re-
quest. The use of Navy tankers to
transport fuel has materially reduced
the price of fuel oil for ships operating
in the Far East.
with the idea of bringing the per-
Sonnel of the Supply Corps up to re-
qu1red strength 1t was planned to make
20 appointments during the fiscal year
1880, but the expected sources Of supply
yielded only six acceptable replace
ments, the report said. This, in itself
matter Of grave concern, was aggra-
waited by the fact that there were 16
separations from the corps during the
same period, creating a net loss of 10
instead Of the increase sought. This
situation is regarded as serious and has
been made the subject of separate cor
respondence, recommending the use of
addltional sources of supply.
Close adherence to the approved
policy Of admitting a fixed number of
officers each year rather than attempt
Ing to NIL all vacancies in any one wear
Is again recommended" the admiral
said.
Cease Antiquated Methods.
Admiral Cheatham asserted that "the
clothing and small stores fund is in a
satisfactory condition as to its cash
capital and the condition of the stock
on hand" adding that "on June 80,
1929, the value of the fund was $23,-
005, ,640.53, while on June 80, 1880, it
was $23, ,41148"
In concluding his report, the admiral
said:
THE Navy in transacting its busi-
ness is entitled to all the advantages
that experience, skill, study and re-
search can bring to bear on the subject.
There can be no justification for the re-
tention of antiquated methods, with
only the halo of tradition to Justify
their existence. This is said while
holding tradition in profound respect
and admiration, and in full recognition
OF its high value to the Navy, but the
typewriter, many years ago, replaced

lating machines have crowded the old.
