German Poultry Shows
Increase Since the War

Washington.-Des the usual de
fstruction of farm crops and farm ami
mails brought about by a great war,
Germany now has more poultry
chickens, ducks and geese-than 1t
had before the start of the World
war according to census conducted
last December and made public by the
Commerce department.
Steady increases are shown since
1925, resulting, at the end of last
year, in $780, 900 geese. 3,Ss6,40o ducks
and 81, 9S7, 300 chickens These figures
represent a substantial gain over
those obtained for 1913, when there
were 5,S50,S00 geese. 2.oS6,30O ducks,
and 6S.970,300 chickens.
Imports of eggs into Germany in
creased materially until 1928, when a
decline began. the Commerce depart

GOOD MARYLAND WORK

There were launched yesterday by
the Maryland Steel Company at Spar
rows Point three torpedo boat destroy
ers the largest and most heavily arm
ed now under construction for the
government and The latest additions
to the American Navy. 1t was a
notable event not only in the history
of these great works but also in the
history of the United States Navy.
The ceremonies incident to the launch
ing of the great war vessels was upon
an elaborate scale and will mark an
epoch in the history of Uncle Sans
growing fleet of sea fighters. These
boats are particularly designed for
their seaworthiness, speed and fighting
qualities. The government viii equip
them with the most powerful machinery
consistent with their class OF craft and
should occasion arise will no doahts
give good account OF themselves.
The launching ceremony was witness
ed by high officials of the United States
Navy and many other distinguished
personages; and the ladies who are
defendants of the naval heroes after
whom the vessels were named, ehristen-
ing them after h most approved
fashion.
The Maryland Steel Company has
built-up one of the greatest plants in
the country and its work is doing
credit to this State. 1t is rather an
unusual occurrence for three war yes
sele to be launched from the same
ways at the same time and it is there
fore, gratifying to know hat the site
of Maryland's great SCR. building
plant, is to be the scene &C. such an
event. The Maryland Steel Company,
builder of boats, has made great pro-
gress in the construction of sea craft
of late years, some of the most modern
cargo-carriers ever launched on the
American waters are the product of
the marine department of this Com
pany.
In commenting on the subject of
modern warships and the advantage
of certain classes of vessels over an
other. distinguished writer of the
Royal Navy made the foil owing inter-
esting statment: Comparing the re-
cords of the wooden training ships
with those of the iron training war
ships in 1898, it is found that the daily
sick list on the wooden war ships as
against 1913 per 1000 on the iron
ship. The deaths on the wooden yes
sells were more than twice as many as
on the iron vessels, being 5.5 per LOO
in the one case and rs in the other.
In 1899 the deaths were per 1000 on
the wooden vessels. The difference is
ascribed to the greater cubic space on
the metallic ship, the greater dryness
and better ventilation. 1t is difficult
to keep wooden ship in a perfectly
sanitary condition, where as, the iron
vessel can be cleansed with COMPARE
tive ease. The difference between the
two classes of vessels in point of
health has been noticed ever since iron
Vessles came into use, and the later
iron ships are healthier than the older
ones.

and people outside tie county with the
resources, agriculture, commerce, edu-
cational advantages of Charles County
and to properly and Systematically

That the membership may be COM
posed of the best type of men within
the county, actively interested in the

also provides; That, Any male adult

Modesto, Calif.-Keep your bottled

the advice of the local branch of the

ICEBERGS ABSENT
FROM OCEAN LANES
Conditions This Year Puzzle
to Ice Patrol.

; Notwithstanding meteorologically
strange is happening in Greenland.
The ice has not moved out and come
down on the transatlantic steamship
tracks as in other years. Two coast
guard cutters, the Mohaye and Pont-
chartrain, have been lying at Boston for
weeks prepared to run down the
years first iceberg and send out warn
ings to vessels of its presence and 10
cation, but none has appeared.
A 125-foot patrol boat, the General
Greene, sent out to scout and make
sure no mountain" of the deep had
escaped notice, reported by radio
that she found but two insignificant
bergs, and those were down only as
far as AZ and As degrees Of latitude.
or up east Of st. Johns, Newfound-
land.
} The season for icebergs is fast wan
ing. April ] to July l is the usual
time for them, reckoning over period
of years. In 1914 the providers ap-
,peared on February II. and did not
disappear until August s. Last year
one loomed up on March p. and all
had gone on June g., The year before
the procession began on March 20.
Arctic Becoming Warmer.
! Why icebergs leave home is now
less important than why they do not.
Weather experts of Washington found
some time ago that certain parts of
the Arctic region were becoming
warmer, while other parts we're grow
ing colder. They set about to solve
the mystery. In the Greenland sea, north
of Europe, milder weather and less ice
than ever has prevailed, while in the
Bering sea and the regions of North
America unusually heavy ice was re-
ported. It was the kind that chung,
and would not let go for a voyage
south.
The Gulf stream, usually the tar
get when meteorologists find them
selves up against a problem, was
blamed by some. 1t is known that
the warm waters of the Gulf, as they
swing northward toward Europe, eddy
to the north in the direction of Green
land and the birthplace OF bergs in
Disko bay. The warmer water blasts
the glaciers at the ocean edge and
chunks of them swing away.
Way Of Icebergs.
The Labrador current picks them
up, and its cold water nurses them
alond as they pass the coast of Baf-
fin Land and Labrador Further south
THE current swings back northward.
1t swirls and eddies. Some of the
bergs continue in it back home. Others
slide out to the south, some to drift
and become ugly cast-offs, others to
be caught up by the neighboring Gulf
stream there and dispatched in its
warm water,
Reports from fishermen, sealers
and explorers about Spitzbergen and
the eastern Arctic pointed to a radi-
cal change of climatic conditions and
hitherto unheard of warmth in that
part of the earth, Old glaciers had
disappeared and land loomed bare
where there had been but ice.
Capt. Martin Ingebrigsten, who had
sailed the eastern Arctic for "a years,
reported that he first noted the warm
err conditions In 1918, and that as
region it was far different from
what it was between 1868 and 1917.

secretary and attorney would rep
resent the commission at $1,000 a
year each.
BY means Of a 10 per cent tax on
gross admissions to boxing and
wrestling contests, the measure
would raise 100000 to 100000 a
year, its author calculates. Boxers,
wrestlers, referees, judges and other
officials would pay licenses ranging
from $40 to $25 a year and clubs
promoting o--,ttests wc'Sd be re-
quired to post a bo''d of $4,000.
Twelve rounds are specified as the
length limit to boxing bouts. De-

McClelland was unduly Influenced
by Cameras strong finish. The
italian, after a sluggish start, won
the last three rounds. In the
eighth frame he smacked Maloney
with two resounding rights to the
jaw, the most effective punches Of
the fight. In the ninth and tenth
he drove Maloney to the ropes and
got in several hard cracks to the
chin.
Maloney was most effective in
the early rounds when his jab-
and-run-away tactics worked to
perfection. His jabbing kept his
heavier foe from coming in close
where the difference in weight
would make such difference, and
made Camera miss more than half
his shots.
