S14,OOO,OOO is SPENT ON
MARYLAND ROADS IN 1881
Expenditures Cover $500 Miles
of Extension and Improvement

The extension and improvement of
the approximately $500 miles of State
roads in Maryland called for the ex-
penditure of over $14,000,000 during
1881, H. D. Williar, Jr., chief engineer
of the State Roads Commission, has
stated.
Some of the $14,O00,00O was spent
for new construction of roads, some
for the improvement of roads already
laid, and a part was used for the
bridge program, which includes the
work done on the elimination of grade
crossings.
New roads laid down include 1872
miles of concrete, 81 miles in gravel,
81 miles in macadam and miles in
sheet asphalt. In addition about 1872
miles of macadam roads and 159 miles
of gravel roads were surfaced treated,
while over 70 miles of highway were
widened by the addition of concrete
shoulders in addition to the resurfac-
ing.
More than twenty miles of shade
trees have been planted along various
roads in cooperation with the Mary
land Department of Forestry and the
Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland.
The work of 1881 completed, Mr..
Williar estimates that the commits
sion will have available approximately
$12,400,O0O for the improvements in
1882.

OFFICIAL REPORT MADE
ON CATTLE T. B. TEST
Garrett County Is Given Accred-
tied Rating by Department

That Garrett county was an accred-
tied one in its dairy cattle industry,
was announced this morning by John
H. Carter, county agent.
This announcement was made fol-
lowing the receipt of the first official
report on the cattle tubercular test
which was conducted in the county the
past summer. The report was sent to
Mr.. Carter by DR.. E. B. Symonds,
chief inspector, at the request of
James B. George, Director of Live
stock Sanitary Service for the Uni
versity of Maryland, and shows the
following figures:
Number of herds tested. ....... 2,201
Number of cattle tested. ..... Ia, 621
Number of reactors found. ..... SO
On a retest of infected herds there
were "a involved. The number of cat
tie tested in these herds was 2O9, and
only one reactor was found.
This is the first and only official re-
port, and stories published in other
papers prior to this date are incor-
rect and unofficial, it was stated by
Mr.. Carter.
The fact that the county was ac-
credited, beginning January 1, 1882,
means that the dairymen of the coun-
ty, by applying to the department,
will be able to receive a certificate of
health for their herds, which will be
valid until the next test of cattle,
according to Mr.. Carter.

BROOKHART BIDS
FOR FARM AID
IN DASH WEST
May Run for Re- Election as
Independent After
Iowa Farley.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Sen-
ator Smith Wildman Brookhart
sped westward today toward an
Iowa cornfield to place his political
future in the hands of 1000 dis
contented farmers.
Defeated in the Republican pri-
mary and apparently headed for
private life, Brookhart may decide
to gamble on running as an indie
pendent and riding back into the
senate on wave of agrarian dis
satisfaction.
His decision will be made Wednes-
day when he reaches a stubble field
outside of Neville, Iowa.
Already hundreds of farmers,
caught in the whirlwind of the de-
preston and the farm strike. are
on the march for Neville. There
they hope to find Moses to lead
them into the promised land of
prosperity, and indications were to-
day that they were pinning their
faith on Brookhart.
In HOmeSpun Words
A telegram phrased in the home
spun language of the farm belt, ar
rived at Brookhart's Office Monday.
In twenty minutes he had cleared
his desk and announced his inten-
ton of going before the farmers in
one final plea for continuation of his
political life.
The telegram sent by Ed A. Eli
son, farm strike leader, said:
I'VE have been key-noted, sour
noted, radio-hooked and Hooverized.
We are sick and tired of hokum and
hooey. Our families are under
privileged, our schools menaced, and
we are mere caretakers of the farms
we live on.
Every time an alleged farm re-
lief plan is passed, its operation
and manipulation is put in the
hands of the same old banker
political group. We are meeting, a
thousand of us, Wednesday after
noon in cornfield at Neville to
devise ways and means to reach
Washington militantly through you.
You are our senator. You alone can
start our battle and organize SEN
ators from other agricultural states.
Answers Immediately
Have you got the CUTS to get out
here by airplane and spend the
night and day among us? We may
seem aroused and angry. We are
You get here Wednesday for this
farm mass meeting and help us
through coming sessions of congress
Answer immediately"
Brookhart said:
Your telegram sounds like real
business to me. I am ready for the
fight and will get there by plane"
Later Monday Brookhart took a
train for Chicago, there to transfer
to plane for the rest of his jour
ney.
Brookhart was defeated in the
primary by Henry Field, who freely
dispensed chicken stew to the vot-
erS. When criticised for giving
away food, Fields retorted: Better
have chicken stew than the old
Brookhart boloney."

Four Cycle Device for Boats
May RevoIutionize
Motor Industry.

After eighteen years work, John
Irvine, 141 West Thirty-sixth street,
has completed invention of valve
less four-cycle motor for boats that
he claims may revolutionize the gas
engine industry of the country.
The motor on which Irvine OBJ
tanned the first patents in 1914, has
been perfected to such a degree
that he forecasts it will use from
one-fourth to one-half the amount
of gas and oil used by other motors.
Valveless motors of two-cycles are
in use, but inventors have failed
with four-cycle engines due to a
sticking of cylinders.
Irvine overcame the sticking, and
