POLITICAL BALLYHO

Time was when it was an
easy matter to get crowds at
political meetings by means OF
brass bands, torch-light pro-
cessions, and the like. Not so
in these days of radios and
wide circulation of the public
press, hence other means are
resorted to, and when Muham4
mad will not come to the
mountain, the mountain is be-
ing taken to Muhammad. In
other words, where voters will
not come to political meetings,
the meetings are being taken
to the voter, by means of a fleet
OF motor cars equipped with
amplifiers and photograph
machines.
Republican National head
quarters reports eighteen of
these cars in service in states
where they are most needed.
Each one is reaching be-
tween 5000 and 5000 people a
day, which when multiplied by
Is, is pretty gratifying to the
headquarters officials.
The main purpose of the cars
is to reach the people who will
not attend meetings otherwise.

MARYLAND LEADS In FOR
EST FIRE PROTECTION

Maryland led all other states
in 1881 in forest fire proven
ton, according to a report re-
Gently issued by the United
States Forest Service. The
average forest fire in Maryland
in that year burned only 26
acres compared to 80 acres in
New Jersey, 81 acres in Penn
sylvania and 48 acres in the
State of Delaware. Virginia
and West Virginia trailed the
States to the north with an av-
erage Of 81 and SO acres re-
spectively.
Success of the work in Mary
land is attributed to the $50
forest wardens and a growing
real zation of every citizen that
all forest fires should be re-
ported promptly.

A SALIENT feature of the
~ great Century of Progress
International Exposition at
Chicago, which is scheduled to
open it's gates to the public on
June first of next year, will be a
showing of what science and in
dustry have done to improve the
conditions governing food and it's
distribution. These conditions in
clude quality, cleanliness, variety,
palatability and convenience.
Science and industry have made
immense strides in these direc-
lions during the last few decades,
and the fact that nearly two hun
dred leading industrial corpora
lions have already taken exhibit
ton space at this Chicago Expo
sition, and will show, among other
things, their food products, tends
to show that our business affairs
are not in such bad shape as some
pessimists would have us think.
Moreover, forty-four of the forty
eight states have either appropri-
ated money fer exhibit space or
appointed official state commits
sions.
Florida to Show All Foods
One of the first States to reveal

MARRIED WOMEN IN IN.
DUSTRY

Announcement from the
Census Bureau that the pro-
portion of working women in
the United States who are mar
ried has taken a great leap in
the last 40 years, is received
with interest by both women S
organizations and Industrial
lists because of the prevalent
discussions as to whether the
removal of married women
from factory and office would
cure the unemployment situa-
ton. 4.
The 1880 census figures dis
close that 2S.9 per cent of the
employed women in the coun-
try in that year were married,
whereas only 1879 per cent in
1890 had husbands. Of all the
married women in the United
States in 1890 only 4.6 per cent
were gainfully occupied. In
1880, III per cent of them had
jobs.
Out of 1O,632,227 women en-
ployed in the United States in
1880, 3,071,302 were married.
Corresponding figures for the
four preceding censuses are as
follows: In 1929, 1,92O,281
out of 8,346,796 were gainfully
occupied; in 1910, 1,S90,661 out
of 7,639,S28; in 1900, 769,477
out of 4,997,415, and in 1890,
515,26O out of 3,712,144 were
so occupied.
These statistics give con-
crete evidence that the married
woman has become an import
ant factor in the labor market.
Investigation by the wom-
ems bureau disclosed that the
majority of married women
who are working are doing so
because their wages are neces-
sary for the support of their
home and family.

CONGRESSMAN GOLDSBOR-
OUCH AND THE CRU
SADERS

The following are extracts
from an editorial in the Girls
field Times:
"In an effort to make the
Prohibition question the out
standing issue in the First Con-
gressional district, the Crusad-
ers, an organization fighting
for Prohibition repeal, has no.
titled Congressman T. Alan
Goldsborough that the Crusad-
ers will do everything in their
power to defeat him for re-
election.
"In Somerset County we are
happy to accept this challenge.
Allan Goldsborough has serv-
ed the First Congressional dis
trict well. He has served it
we'll because he is an able man,
rightly placed. The people
know his record, thousands OF
them know him personally,
and they respect and appreci-
ate him.
ct is beneath his dignity,
and we are thankful that he
recognizes that fact, to reply,
except in his own way, and at
his own time to questions of
the kind asked by the Crusad-
ers. We are glad he has the
backbone to dismiss the matter
as of little consequence at this
time, and that his ears are deaf
to the crack of the whip of a
Jealous, even if well intention
ed band of very estimable per-
sons, who may mean right, but
will accomplish little on the
Eastern Shore.
1T may be that Alan Colds
borough will lose some Demo
cratic votes because he chooses
to be his own man, suffering no
Master to dictate to him. We
predict, in this event, that there
will be ten other votes to take
the place of every one so lost.
The people admire a man,
They idealize a real leader.
Alan Goldsborough has amply
demonstrated that he is both
man and leader.
"The weak point in the cru
saders' fight, the weak point in
the fight of kindred organiza-
tions is-they throw aside as
of no value ability courage,
craftsmanship, service to the
people, and hitch their wagon
to the tail of the particular
question in which they are in
terested. 1t just won't work.

"Baby bonds" maturing ev-
cry six months with annual in
terest Of 10 per cent have been
issued by the provisional Cen
trail Government of Soviet

These are probably the small
est bonds ever issued, with face
value in silver of $500, $1.O0,
so cents and 80 cents.
The 30-cent bond, at present
rates of exchange, is worth
about z cents in gold, which
doubtless establishes a record
low for par value of a bond.

In the opinion of Miss Elizabeth

and accomplished it with a ven

When almost everybody was
"flush," the vocation of begging
was followed by a negligible few
who bounded the waiting rooms

owed it to them," Miss Beatty
says.
