CHESAPEAKE

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-Con-
struction of a bridge across Ches-
apeake Bay as link between
the Eastern and Western Shores
of Maryland is being planned by
the administration, it was learned
today. The bridge would be con-
structed as a project of public
benefit, contingent on further en-
gineering and traffic surveys now
being made.
Under present plans new
study OF the problem of linking
the two shores will be instituted
with view of making the project
a State matter in its entirety.
Construction of such structure
will mean an outlay of between
$1O,00O,0O0 and $12,0O0,000, relia-
BILE reports estimate. Such a span
would go from Miller's Island to
a point in Kent county.

LAW HITS PAID
AUTO RIDES

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Feb.
26.-It's all right to ask some one
to ride in your car to keep you
company, but if you accept money
to pay part of the expenses of the
trip it's a violation of the Florida
law.
The recent arrests of a number
of persons on this charge has
aroused a storm of protest. Miss
Ruth Bailey, of Washington, D. c.,
was the first person to be taken
into custody on this charge.
She was going to Palm Beach
and took two passengers to help
pay expenses of the trip. She
was arrested on a charge of Carry
ing passengers without a cerrifi-
cate of public convenience.
It is said that the bus COM
panies are initiating the move to
stop this practice, as it is injuring
their business.

And the rest we should spend and save in way that is pleasing tc God. God ropays us for our efforts in giving. Did he not comment on the coins that the widow dropped into the treas ury?

Editors Note:

stewardship" is from the pen of Beatrice Wilson, student of the Sheldon Jackson School at Sitka and was written for and read before the recent con- vention of the Christian Endeav- or Society at Sitka. The pur- pose of the editor in publishing 4t at this time is to show the part the church plays in the ed- 1cation of the Indian children of Alaska and the development of the mind within the past few years with proper educational environment. It is generally be- !ieved, because of political pro- paganda that the Indians are
 ignorant and illiterate." The writer, Miss Wilson, is not ex- ceptional in that quietly and un- obtruseively the younger gener- ation is grasping out and reach- Ing forward to the better things Of life.
 The editor predicts that with in fifty years the Thlinget and Haida languages will be extinct in Alaska. The development of the past ten years predicates this assertion. Which means that more and more will these people make themselves felt in the affairs of the Territory.

life itself is a trust. All life is Stewardship. It is the basis of stewardship. From life we can acquire the stewardship Of tl1ne, service, personality and many other phases. Steward ship points out a mans attitude toward property and income. Gods ownership of life is en- phasized by His redemption. We are bought with price, SO life is not our own to do what we ike with.
 This Stewardship of life has many sides to it. And it is up to us as individuals to make the most Of all the possessions of God for the upbuilding of His Kingdom.
 And as master journeying into a far country he has given us talents and ability to take of His bOuntiful possessions and when He comes again, we shall oive our account of whether we lave increased His possessions. Only when we have done our 'uty in taking care of His pos- sessions will we hear Him say' well done thou good and faith, ful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

Musc0Uy Ducks

| ERE is duck that isn't duck! At least,
Muscovies are more like most of the
geese than they are like most of the ducks.
You see, it is almost impossible to say def
nitely where ducks different from geese
The best known species of both kinds of water
fowl can be easily told apart because of their
size Geese are usually larger than ducks
Geese have their legs set more in the middle
of their bodies, both goose and gander are COL
ored alike, and geese do not have the enlarge
ment at the junction of the trachea and the
bronchial tubes that enables the duck to quack
On these points the Muscovy Duck is like the
geese.
Muscovies originally came from South Amer
lea. Down there these birds roost in trees and
build their nests above the ground. Sometimes
they do this in captivity too. The superin-
tendent of poultry on the Robins estate in
Florida told a queer story about~her birds.
She missed one of the white Muscovy ducks.
After looking everywhere for her, she decided
that the bird was nesting somewhere and
would appear after while. Week after week
went by. The duck came in to feed and then
disappeared again. All attempts to track her
failed.
1t takes five weeks for Muscoyy eggs to hatch,
and at the end of that time the superintendent
surprised to find the ground at the
foot of a great tree beside the chicken pens
four little golden yellow Muscovies. Their
keeper went to her house for a moment and
when she returned there were seven ducklings
there. She couldn't imagine where they came
from
Her work took her away from the spot for
a short time and on her return there was the
mother Muscovy with twelve little fellows
around her.
At last the woman looked up into the tree
and there she rude nest of twigs and
feathers. A ladder brought and up there
in a crotch of the tree, about twenty feet from
the ground she found the nest The old duck
had set up housekeeping just the way her an
cestors used to do in the jungles of South
America.

Extra Rahons for Plants

DI.ANTS, like animals. need nourishing food
| In their bitter struggle to win a living.
And, like animals or human beings, they grow
thin and pale and finally die without it.
For plants. too, the soil is the source Of all
food. So when man in quest of more food
for himself crowds plants closely together in
a field, the problem for the plants, which are
eagerly seeking living from the soil, Is even
greater than ordinarily And the farmer who
would harvest healthy crop must help the
crowded plants by giving them extra rations
of food
The extra food must, of course, be added to
the soil so that the plants may be able to use
it. And the kind Of food We add depends upon
the kind Of strength we want to give the par
hcular plants We are growing.
Just as certain foods We eat help us to build
strong bones and other foods make for fat, so
certain plant foods help to make a strong
thick growth Of leaves give the roots extra
nourishment.
Nitrogen, for instance, is fine tonic where
a good heavy growth of leaves is desired. And
phosphorus helps root crops to flourish and
makes stems and leaves sturdy meal Of

Players continue moving in counter-clock-
wise direction around the outer circle until
they land on Hat space by exact count
Then, on the following turn, they start mov-
ing around the next smaller circle. After land
ing on a Carrot space by exact count, the
next move is in the smallest circle. When
player lands on Pipe space, he must receive
a one on his next turn to reach the Snow

must continue moving around the circle until
ne lands on Pipe space and receives
one on his next turn.
The first player to reach the Snowman wins

Sea Lions at the Z00

OF all the inhabitants of the ZOO none save
~ perhaps the monkeys have more devoted
admirers than the lions. And they de-
serve applause. For they are wonderfully
graceful swimmers and in spite of their lolling
gallop on land, they are not without a certain
handsome dignity.
Their coats sleek and shining Their
heads escape seeming too small for their thick
necks because they borne aloft with pride
And their odd looking whiskers lend an aristo-
cratic tone" to their appearance.
One wouldn't suspect them of the tre-
mendous appetite for fish which they have for
the California sea lions are seldom more than
+ feet long Yet they eat between Is and 80
pounds of fish day and are, consequently,
the most expensive residents of the ZOO.
On the other hand, they are able to endure
long periods without food necessary, and
have been known to survive fasts lasting as
long as three months.
Sea lions extraordinarily intelligent and
can be trained to perform all sorts of antics
such fancy diving and the balancing of
objects on their noses Their tricks are so
amusing that well known hotel on the West
ern Coast is much patronized because its
guests enjoy watching the capers of a nearby
colony of sea lions.
Relatives of seals and the walrus, sea lions
have flippers instead of feet. In the seal the
back legs arranged that they lie perma-
nently backward but in the sea lion the hind
f1ippers are turned forward for use as feet on
land and the four fippers are joined so that
they turn backward in walking. At their ends
the fiippers are split into five toes without
nails
Sea lions are found off the Pacific Coast, in
the Bering Sea, and in the waters around
Southern South America
The California sea lion, which is the ordi-
nary inhabitant of our ZOOS, lives about seven
or eight years in nature and can be kept
alive in fresh water for two or three years

potash mixed into the soil makes grains yield
well and improves the health of almost any
kind of plant.
These extra plant foods added to the soil
are called fertilizers Their value is now urfi-
versally recognized by farmers and consequently
there Is a great demand for them, and they
bring good prices on the market.
By replenishing the exhausted food supply
of his fields, the farmer is able to cultivate
healthy crops year after year. Long ago when
we knew less of soil chemistry than we now
know, every field had to have a rest after a
year or two three of use, in order that
nature might help the soil to regain some
fertility. Now we give nature human help
and work the soil harder.

Addition of a light weight blue
chambray shirt to supplement
the regular uniform of the Metro
politan Police Department was
assured today following a con-
ference of William S. Shelby, in
spector, and other police officials.
The shirt will be used in lieu
of a uniform blouse during pro-
'IOnged hot spells. The change has
long been a matter of serious
consideration. For some time
men on beat have been burdened
with heavy serge uniforms.
Last summer patrolmen were
permitted to work m their shirt
sleeves providing they wore white
shirts. But the shirts could not
be kept clean. Motorcycle police
men have been allowed to wear
uniform gray shirts and to dis
pense with blouSeS.
At present, distribution Of a
new 12-ounce serge blouse is 60
ing on. Measuring of policemen
for the new shirts is expected to
start soon.

HOOVER DENIES

Acting Secretary Castle Tells
Press That Statements Were
'Misinterpreted' by Writers
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Indications of strong congress
sional opposition if the Hoover
debt holiday shows any signs of
leading into debt cancellation or
downward revision caused the
State Department today to dis
avow hastily that Mr.. Hoover has
ever contemplated tinkering with
the debt settlements already ar
rived at between the United
States and the allies.
"Misinterpreted"
Acting Secretary of State Will
liam r. Castle, jr., who yester-
day informed newspaper cores
pondents that the President had
originally considered "re-eXami-
nation" of the whole structure of
war debts and reparations in con-
nection with his plan to relieve
Europe's economic distress, gravely
assured the same correspondents
today that his statement has been
"miSinterpreted."
Castles statement today was
in written form. 1t said:
THE President has at no
time either proposed or con-
Sidered any permanent revision
of the foreign debt settlements.
Castle Embarrassed
"The whole subject of this
plan has been considered in the
aspect of relief from temporary
conditions created by world.
wide depression. The integrity
of all agreements has been con-
StantIy upheld during the entire
negotiations. You will find the
Administrations view on that
subject fully stated in the PreSi-
dents announcement of June
20, and the course of the negO-
tiatiOnS given by me yesterday
contained no other implication"
Acting Secretary Castle was
quite obviously embarrassed as he
read his statement. He had moth
ing to add 10 it.
