Iron Plating Damp Walls.

To insure a perfectly dry interior,
walls are now given plating of iron,
applied In the form of spray. The
walls OF the new wing Of the Royal
Ontario Museum in Toronto have been
thus treated and the desired results
accomplished The formula calls for a
mixture of powdered iron, an accel-
orator, and water, together with a
small amount of cement-the effective
ness of the solution being mainly at
tributable to the fact that the minute
particles Of iron, upon oxidation, are
increased to four times their normal
size. The effect of this expansion is
to key the waterproof to the concrete
and to fill the pores and air spaces.
Upon drying, the wall surfaces appear
to be OF solid metal oxide.

IMPROVED WOODLAND
MANAGEMENT

A. M. Mendenhall, Blue Ball;
Deakin and Coleman, Green
hurst; John w. Gamble, Bay
View; ]. l.. Crothers, North
East; Walter Marshall, Sylmar,
and A. G.. Smith, Bay View, are
cooperating with J. q. Miller,
county agent, and Richard Kill
bourne, extension forester, in
conducting demonstrations in
improved woodland manage
ment this winter. The purpose
of the demonstrations is to
show how the woodland owner
can increase the income from
his woodland through proper
cutting methods.
Five of the men listed above
have laid out in their wood
lands one or two one-quarter
acre sample plots. On these
plots all the trees were meas
ured for diameter. The heights
and ages of the trees were also
determined. The plots were
surveyed to determine which
trees should be removed to in
crease the rate Of growth and
quality of the stand. OF these
trees all those which could be
used Or sold now were marked
for immediate removal. After
the marked trees are cut the
plots will present a picture of
the best way in which timber
areas can be managed at the
present time.
Each of the areas selected
presents a different problem in
management and utilization.
1t is hoped that by presenting
a wide range of types and prob
lens the demonstrations will
provide information which can
be supplied on practically all
the woodlands in their vicinity.
1t is planned to hold filed
meetings this winter at which
visits will be made to the dem
onstration areas. The history,
management, growth and util-.
ization of each area will be ex-
planned and discussed by the
owner and the extension
forester.

"Roses of Old Virginia.
Praised bv Englishman

In old Virginia there were many
kinds of wild roses. AS soon as to-
bacco and cotton plantations were
established and houses were built
and there was time for beauty, a rose
garden was planned, laid out and
planted with native roses and the
fashionable roses Of the Seventeenth
century which were brought over
from the old country.
These rose gardens are an impor-
tant and very beautiful feature Of ev-
cry Colonial place. They are very Oft
en- walled in, and low-clipped box
hedges formally divide the beds. The
box may be planted in most intricate
fashion, as at Mt. Vernon, George
Washington's home, or it may be sim
pier, but it Is always well trimmed
and cut, as the new owners Of these
historic old places which were left
derelict for long after the Civil war
take great pride In restoring and
preserving their beauty and tradition.

Cremona violins

Carlo Berzoni Cremona was an Ital-
ian violin maker. He lived from 1890
to 1746. This master has always been
considered one Of the best pupils OF
Stradivarius. He made several mod
els usually fiat, giving to the inferior
part of the body Of the instrument In
width whatever the superior lost or
gained In length. The sound holes,
rather far apart, are very near the
edges. The scroll lacks roundness,
but at the same time has character.
His varnish, always rich and trans
parent, although thick. in places, va
ries from light red to brown red, some
times amber yellow, and has ten
dency to crackle slightly. The tone is
particularly beautiful, combining re-
finement and power, and any violins
made by this man are superinstru-
mentS.

companies who are not engaged in the
business offices or as members OF the
regular sales forces, thousands OF
telephones have been sold.
In the ten months ending October
81, 110,564 new telephones were in
stalled in Maryland Virginia. West
Virginia and the District Of Columbia.
OF these telephones, $3.50 were sold
by employees.
AS result of this enthusiastic effort
of employees. officials of the company
state that it has not only been pos
sible to largely Offset the losses in
telephones sustained by disconnections
but it has been possible in many
areas to increase the number of tele
phones in service. Also, because Of
these sales. the companies have been
in q position to carry out large con
struction programs which have meant
the continuous employment Of theil
forces.
With the telephone companies, every
employee is salesman. Operators
clerks, stenographers, linemen, in
stallers and the supervisory forces as
well are constantly alert to see tina
all subscribers are properly served
by having a sufficient number of tele
phones ON their premises. either IL
business establishments or In homes
Linemen while installing telephones
frequently see the advantage of al
extension telephone or an auxiliary
line which would be Of advantage to
the subscriber and materially increase
the value of his service. In innumer
able cases the subscriber has been
quick to see the advantages of the
increased service pointed out by the
employee. and has arranged to have
the telephone installed at once.

4 PROFITABLE WOODLOT

John Marshall, a farmer of
upper Cecil county, claims that
a woodland of twenty acres on
his farm has supplied three
generations of his family for
the past ninety years with all
the firewood, fence posts and
lumber for building and repairs
needed during all of that
time. The tract today, accord
ing to Richard Kilbourne, for
ester for the University of Md.
Extension Service, is in excel
lent condition, showing that
the owners managed the tract
with the idea of maintaining a
continuous supply of forest
products.

Mechanical Toys Seen
as Scientific Wonders

Among African negroes, doll is
supposed to have magical powers, and
may be used to ward of evil, or Of
fered up as sacrifice.
Not so many years ago It was be-
lieved that to overcome an enemy 1t
was only necessary to fashion a wax
doll resembling him and melt it slow
ly before the fire, when he, too, would
waste away with illness.
Toy animals, like those in Noah's
ark, miniature picks, shovels and
household articles, such as miniature
tea services, were buried with the
dead or were offered to the gods as
imitation sacrifices. Thus a farmer
would present at his temple little
wooden sheep or horses; the house
wife would offer small reproductions
OF household utensils.
Mechanical toys, such as trains.
dancing bears and swimming ducks,
had quite a different origin. They
were produced as scientific wonders,
by the great experimenters Of long
ago, and were regarded as playthings
fit for king. The more ignorant peo-
pie believed them to be miraculous
and sometimes the makers had mar
row escapes from execution as wiz
ards.

Card Money i'm Canada

Gard money preceded coinage in
Canada, being circulated between 1885
and TIT and later from 1929 to 1859.
De Meulles when Intendant conceived
the idea Of paying the troops in bills
lowing to the scarcity Of specie), to
be redeemed when the ships arrived
from France. Having no better substi-
tute he used playing cards for the pur-
pose BY cutting them into quarters,
stamping them with crowned heur
do Lis. writing on them their value
and signed by himself and the clerk
Of the treasury. Paper money was
used In Acadia in 1708, and some mer-
chants issued small paper due bills for
purchases at their stores. These con-
tinued In use for many years.

Ancient Mulberry Gardens

Probably few of the guests at the
kings garden parties at Buckingham
palace associated the beautiful
grounds with an attempt to found an
English silk industry. In the reigns
Of Charles l and Charles II, these
grounds were known as the Mulberry
gardens, place Of fashionable resort
mentioned by both Evelyn and Pepys.
Dryden, 1t is recorded. used TO repair
here to eat mulberry tarts. The null
berry trees had been planted by James
I to provide food for silkworms, one
of his whims having been an attempt
to encourage the production of silk.

History of Harpers Ferry

Harpers Ferry, w. Va, was named
for Robert Harper, who founded it in
l747. He was born in 1903 at Oxford.
England, and emigrated to America
at the age of twenty. He bought the
site of Harpers Ferry for 80 guineas-
about $26O-for the good will of a
squatter named Stevens and a patent
from Lord Fairfax. 1t was purchased
from Harper's heirs by the govern
ment in 1894 for the purpose of found
Ing national armory of 125 acres.
Later the site passed under the con-
troll of the new state of West Virginia.

STATE GASOLINE TAX

During 1881 Maryland mot
orists paid into the State Treas
ury $7,796,O63.35 as gasoline
tax. The mark set for 1881
surpassed that of 1880 by 1884,
1926, and was an increase OF
$1,322,527 over 1929. During
the month of December. the re-
turns amounted to $6S2,656,-
80, an increase of more than
$4,000 over the same month
of 1890.

their financial policy.
I know Of no better plan than this
to build for the nation as a whole
a stronger economic situation THAT
is, through common structure Of in
dividual working, earning and saving.
vive activity in a depression than to
spend proper volume of past savings
to keep the momentum of business 60
ing. But anless there are savings in
prosperity there cannot be spending
during depression.
Those who practiced this plan dur
ing the past period of prosperity have
q security and a protection against
present adversely that could be pro-
vided in no other way. Those who
did not are the ones who are now most
dependent upon others. If there had
been more preaching of this doctrine
when 1t was more feasible to put it
into effect than 1t is now. there would
be less depression and less financial
insecurity today.
However, while there should have
been more emphasis on savings dur
ing prosperity, measure of the en-
phasis today might properly be the
other way,-at least to the extent that
those who can safely do so may we'll
increase their spending instead Of
OVERRIDING their saving. While many
have seen their earnings fail, there
are millions who have not suffered
so seriously in respect to the real
purchasing power of their incomes. II
we listened to all the scare stories
of the day, one might get the impress
sion that everybody was out of a
job and nobody's business was earning
anything. Many Of our people who
are able to continue a normal program
Of prudent buying are curtailing their
expenditures beyond reason.
A Business Stimulus
The sum total Of this unreasonable
curtailment of spending 10 an eco
nomic influence contributing to the
stagnation of trade. BY the opposite
token, ! believe the resumption Of
normal spending on the part Of those
who are able to do so would be an
important tonic toward the stimula-
ton of trade. I do not mean by this
that we should have indiscriminate
spending merely for the sake of spend,
ing, but the very motive power of our
economic life is the interchange Of
goods, and unless we have that we
cannot have prosperity.
I strongly believe that we are at
that point in the depression stage Of
the business cycle that any sound
stimulating influence will start a real
movement in the direction of a return
toward prosperity So much Of the
weakness Of the old state Of affairs
has been liqridated, so many malad.
justments corrected and such large
volumes of our consumers goods have
been used up or worn out that the
pressure Of necessitous purchases
must sooner or later be felt. When
that time definitely comes we may
consider 1t the first impulse Of new
era Of normal business.

GOVERNOR RITCHIE'S HAT
In THE RING

At the annual Jackson Day
dinner held in Baltimore on
Thursday night of last week.
under auspices of the Concord
Club, Gov. Albert c.. Richie
spoken of as a possible Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee,
openly announced himself as a
candidate for that honor.
Delivering himself OF a
scathing denunciation of what.
he called the Republican eva
sion, inaction and laundering
in Washington" he declared
he would be proud to carry
the banner of Democracy to
victory in the elections OF next
November.
The four-term Maryland ex-
ecutive, standing before a
gathering of national and State
leaders of the party, whom he
had heard laud him as the next
President, declared that he was
deeply grateful for the gener-
Gus references made Of him in
in connection with the Pres
idency. For any American to
deny that he is proud OF such
mention would be false mod
esty. There is no room for
false modesty on my part, and
I say of course I would like to
be President; who would not?"

Farm population in the Unit
ed States showed a net increase
in 1880 for the first time since
1922. The Department of Ag-
riculture estimates that the
farm population was 27,430,-
600 on Jan. /, 1881, as against
27,222,000 the previous year.
It is further estimated that
during 1880 a total of 100000
persons went from cities to
farms, while 1,543,000 persons
left the farms.
The surplus of births over
deaths on the farm of $4,000
in 1880 leaves a net gain in
population of 20S,O00 persons.

Division Of Labor

BY division of labor Is meant the
system by which different individuals
in society perform different kinds Of
work. It l. based In part on differ

Of different men producing different

Because Of such differences, natural
