AUSTRALIAN GIRIS GLAD ID GET JCBS
 THREE DOLLARS PER

SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. 2 (AD
 Thousands of girls in Australia have deserted the ranks of unem- ployed for domestic jobs that pay s weekly and home
 They've done 1t gladly, too, for many were ill-equipped for any other sort of work.
 Toward the $3 wage scale. the government pays a subsidy of s1. Thousands of dollars are being spent to relieve distress and unem ployment.
 A method of solving the serious unemployment among girls and women was probably the biggest problem that faced the government in this connection, but under the dollar subsidy scheme household CTS who never have employed any domestic servants are availing themselves of cheap help.
 Many unemployed shop girls and business girls likewise have adopt ed domestic service rather than no job at all

MARYLAND'S DOMAIN HAS
SHRUNK

The new almanac shows
Maryland has lost 2,4S6 square
miles since the 1920 survey of
area. Maryland, according to
the records, is that much small
er than it was in 1920.
Maryland's loss was Virgin
las gain, for a study of the rec
ords shows that Virginia gain
ed a similar amount of area.
The whole thing is a result
of the Potomac River Boundary
relocation, accomplished in
1928, whereby a wide bend in
the dividing line was straingh-
tened out, giving Virginia more
of the river than it has had
since the days of Thomas
Jefferson.
But if you think Maryland
Jared badly, how about Rhode
Island? This little State lost
ISL square miles, more than
one tenth of it's total area.
The Maryland loss, by the
way, is more than twice the
area of all that's left of Rhode
Island.

SHORE PEA CROP BELOW
NORMAL

With the pea crop harvested
and the canning factories along
the Delmarva Eastern Shore
completing the seasons pack,
indications point to only about
sixty per cent Of the normal
pack being canned.
Though the yield was more
or less normal, Gamers cut
down the number of acres for
which they usually contract,
and since the grade of the pro-
duct is good, packers will prob
ably receive satisfactory prices
during the current depressed
demand for this product.
In some sections of the Eas-
tern Shore and Delaware peas
are said to be of finer quality
than for many years, although
in some areas the yield is be-
low the average, since early
peas were washed out by rains.
With the yield about seventy
five per cent of the usual out
put, the product averaged about
one ton to the acre. One-half
ton to the acre Is required to
pay expenses, veteran growers
declare.
