Economic Leaders Will
Speak on Newspaper Hour

Outstanding economic problems of
the day will be discussed in the Ma
tional Farm and Home Hour Satur-
day, April 80, by L. A. Downs, pres
ident of the Illinois Central railroad,
Benjamin NJ. Anderson, Jr., economist
of the Chase National bank Of the
city of New York, and United States
Senator Otis f. Glenn of Illinois.
The broadcast will be under the d.
rection of the corn belt farm dailies,
a group of daily agricultural news
papers which circulate principally
among the larger producers of live
stock. In the group are the Chicago
Drovers Journal, Kansas City Drov-
ers Telegram, Omaha Journal-Stock-
man, and st. Louis Daily Livestock
Reporter.
Charles e. Snyder, editor of the
Chicago Drovers Journal, will be in
charge of the broadcast and will in
troduce the speakers who are to de-
vote their attention to presenting for
the farm radio audience discussions
of existing economic conditions of
the day.
The program promises to attract
the attention of vast audiences par
ticularly because it will bring before
the NBC microphones three distin-
guished leaders in the economic
world.
The program will be brought to
listeners as part of the plan to fea-
ture the messages of practically every
important agricultural organization
in the country. The speakers were
chosen by Mr.. Snyder because Of
their long experience and contacts
with our economic problems

IDEA OF ARMORED
VESSELS IN 1861
Naval Officials Quick to
See Possibilities.

One Of those interesting minor
notes on naval history was supplied
in a Lowell lecture at Boston when
Professor Baxter, of Harvard, traced
from a re-examination of the original
documents, the development of the
navys ironclad program at the be-
ginning of the Civil war-a program
of which the Monitor was merely the
most celebrated product.
Mr.. Baxter, according to the Bos-
ton Transcript, has annihilated the
charge of obstructive traditionalism
sometimes leveled at the Navy de-
partment in connection with the
Monitor. Capt. Liddell Hart's die
tum that war offices always begin
war at a point somewhat behind
that which they had reached at the
end Of the preceding one apparent
ly did not apply to the navy in 1861.
Even before the fall of Sumter the
navy was considering the first of a
flood of proposals for the construc-
ton of ironclad men-of-war, and the
chief of the bureau of construction
and repair was soon to advocate not
one but whole fleet of these radi-
cal innovations.
Many people-Donald Mckay, the
creator of the great clipper ships,
was one-were advocating armored
vessels, and the idea of turret
mountings for the guns had already
been advanced by a British naval Of
6cer the year before. The Navy de-
partment went to work in method
tcal fashion suggestive of World war
days; it convened a board which
studied the proposals and by Sep
TENDER was able to recommend three
different types for experimental con-
struction. One of them was the es-
pecially radical Monitor. She had
the luck first to meet the test of
battle and to pass it magnificently,
and after that the construction of
the large fleet of double-turreted mon
itors went on rapidly. The navy was
able to take the very latest ideas
available, study them, adopt and test
models and then go into quantity
production" for the winning of the
war.
The story is not without its mod
ern application. 1t is an earlier in
stance of the "time lag" essential in
the development of any new weapon
for war service-a phenomenon re-
Gently pointed out by a British writ
er, Victor Lefebure, as a possible
means for arriving at scientific dis
armament systems. Another point
is the fact that the navy, even with
this prompt and intelligent handling
of the situation, got what was &C
tually rather a poor weapon as the
result of the hastes of working I'M
der war pressure.
The Monitors victory in her one
battle was to influence our naval
construction down to Spanish war
days; actually, however, the raft

Roman Altar Found

A delightful find has been made
near Newcastle, England, on the line
of the old Roman wall. 1t is a Ro-

Grewsome Death Watch

Paralyzed by fear, an old woman
of Bayeux, France, lay in bed and
watched her husband hang himself.
Even after he was dead, when she

candles, one on each side of the
body. Finally, neighbors, anxious at
not seeing the old couple, entered

Disregard OF Hand
Signals Is Cause
OF Many Accidents
Commissioner Baughman Urges
Drivers To More Use Of Arm
For Signal System

An increasing number of accidents
caused by the disregard of hand sig
mails were reported last week, accord
ing to E. Austin Baughman, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles.
III autoists would follow the simple
and reasonable system of signals
many accidents could be avoided" Mr..
Baughman said. "For instance, the
straight extended left arm with the
finger pointing to the left cannot mean
anything but that the operator is go
ing to make left-hand turn. In doing
this the driver should ease himself
over to as near the middle of the
street as possible.
"The signal for a right-hand turn,
that of extending the arm well out so
that it can be seen from the rear and
making a slowly circling forward
movement with the forearm, is equal
ly easy to understand.
when this signal is made and the
intention is to turn right the opera
tor should draw as close to the curb
on the right-hand side of the street
as possible as he approaches the in
tersection.
"This will clearly indicate to the
following cars come on, l am getting
ready to turn out of the way and you
may pass me-
Needless to say, the extended left
arm, at slight downward angle, with
the palm facing the rear. win indicate
that the operator is going to stop"
There is really no excuse for acct
dents which occur because of the fail
ure to use these signals"

Property Owners Should
Guard Against Vandals
Cutting Christmas Trees

This time of the year, and until
Christmas, property owners along
highways who have any kinds of ever
greens, particularly holly, pines and
cedars, will need to keep watchful
eye for thieves and vandals. These are
ugly words, but fittingly describe
those who, with utter disregard of
property rights, take what they have
no right to, whether they be the auto
mobile party out for Sunday drive
or the man who gathers up Christmas
greens by the truck loads without
leave or license. The Maryland law so
brands him unless he has a written
permit from the owner of the proper
ty to take such material, or unless it
is taken under the supervision of such
owner.
To stop this pernicious practice:
l. Each owner of land bordering
main highways should post it against
trespassing. Special posters referring
to the Maryland Law will be furnished
on request to the State Department
of Forestry, Baltimore, Maryland.
2. Extra vigilance for three weeks
prior to Christmas by property own
ers and prosecution of all violators.
8. Appeal to the local police, con-
stables and all having power to help
enforce the law. The State police will
also help, but local cooperation is
most important
A. Where evidence is not sufficient
to have immediate arrest made, but
where greens, gathered under suspic-
ious circumstances, are being trans
ported; report automobile license num-
Der and any evidence to the State De-
partment of Forestry, 1411 Fidelity
Building, Baltimore, and the case will
be investigated.

you have convinced everybody your community that you
have the better goods and lower prices than they get
elsewhere When stop making fortunes right in your
sight solely through the discreet advertising When
you would rather have your way fail than take
advice and win When want of business with
