Governor Richie, the State
Board of Education, and the
State Roads Commission.
Senator j. H. C. Legg, counsel to
the commissioners of Queen Anne's
county, was elected permanent chair
man of the organization, and T. T.

secretary.
Representatives of eighteen of the

were Calvert, Charles, Hartford, Mont
gomery and Prince Georges. Major E.
Brooke Lee, member of the State
Roads Commission, who took prom
inent part in the deliberations of the
previous meeting, did not attend.
Baltimore county whose commits
sioners refrained from voting on the
resolutions when they were presented
on the floor two weeks ago, were rep
resented at Mondays meeting by
Robert C. Clarke, president of the
board and James P. Kelley, counsel,
both of whom announced their en-
dorsements of the plans of the con-
ference.
Mr.. Kelley said: "The County Com
missioners Of Baltimore county did
not previously vote nor take any part
in these discussions because of unfa-
miliarity with the subject in hand. At
this time we understand the primary
motive of the conference is the re-
duction of taxes. This being the case,
Baltimore county's commissioners are
heartily in favor of the plan and will
lend their best efforts for its success.
Baltimore county recognizes the pru-
dence and wisdom of interesting Bal
timore City in the project and we rec
ommend the appointment of a COM
mittee that will lay the plans and
proposals before Mayor Jackson and
his official family"
Herbert H. Balch, of Talbot county,
referred to the misunderstanding
which had crept into the minds of a
great many people and stated he was
convinced that the meetings would be
of no avail unless a contact was form
ed with the authorities of Baltimore
City.
Senator Legg appointed working
committee, to be known as the con-
tact committee, which is specially
charged with forming the contact with
the city authorities and perform other
duties such as arranging for speaking
tours throughout the State if it is
deemed necessary.

ALASKA VOLCANOES
 CLASH WITH RADIO,
 DECLARE OBSERVERS

Volcanoes of the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific Ocean, smoul- dering from time immemorial and erupting periodically with cataclys- mic force, are now definitely known to play havoc with radio reception in the Alaska Peninsula during periods of violent activity
 This was recently observed for the first time when Shishaldin vol cano on Unimak Island tburst forth early in January of this year with intermittent explosions throughout the winter.
 The roar of the upheaval could be distinctly heard 35 miles away. The mountain laid a smoke bar rage 50 miles at sea.
 Radio fans residing in that area state that the volcano produces electrical phenomena that serious ly interferes with reception of pro- grams sent out on the air from near and distant stations.
 It is thought that the intermix- ing of electrically charged particles of ash meeting in space causes vio- lent agitation of static with subse- quent distortion of sound waves, the degree of which is determined by proximity to the volcano.
 Joseph Nasenius, amateur wire less operator at False Pass, Unimak Island, reports that he experienced distracting interference whic h made wireless telegraphy well-nigh impossible during the winter. The volcano interrupted communication at that point, making wireless sig nals undecipherable tim e and again.
 Moreover, other atmospheric pe- culiaritieS are observed during VOL canic activity. Radio programs of station KFQD in Anchorage were heard clearly at Umnak Island, 675 miles away, from the sending sta- tion while listeners on Unimak, Sanak, Shunagin and other is lands adjacent to Shishaldin, locat- ed at various distances ranging from 45O to 525 miles from An chorage, could not hear the broad casting during the eruption. These freak disturbances are less ire quent during tranquility of the Aleutian chain of volcanoes.

Judge Saws He'll TRY

Thus, your honor, it stands
to reason that if my client
were in the business of stealing
automobiles, he would hardly
choose a machine with such a
low number. Low numbers are
easily detected, and a car thief
who knows his business leaves
them severely alone. Surely.
sir, you will agree with me on
that point.
Accordingly, in view of the
. many circumstances and the
youth of my client, may I re-
spectfully request your honor to
be as lenient as possible in pro-
nouncing sentence?"
The judge shook his head.
II have considered every
thing" he stated gruffly, land
1 hereby sentence the con-
victed man to the peniten-
tiary." All of which meant
that the thief had been SEN
fenced to jail for a term of
from six months to three years.
The wyer shrugged his
shoulders. He made one last
stab.
We'll" he said, "as long as
your honor is determined to
do this, may I request one lit
tie favor? In view of the boys
age, may I ask that he be sent
away with some sort of a
recommendation from you?"
The judge arose.
Certainly" he murmured.
"Since he seems to go in for
that sort of thing and you have
brought the m after out so
clearly, I'll use my influence
to get him a low number. ).

All About Hot-Cha

Where did the word "Hot- -Cha!"
originate. Linguists and amateur
experts have supplied II diff
ferent meanings for this battling
word in contemporary slang.
Some say that it has an Indian
source; others that it comes from
Harlem; others that it is q per
sonalized. intensified expression
of enthusiasm. Some of the ex-
plantations are trite; some of
them pronounced, and all of them
indicative of the spell that Hot
Cha!" is having on the commun-
ity.
Florenz ZiegfeId, who named
his latest musical comedy after
the latest in hot language, gives
Jimmy Durante credit for origi-
mating the expression. Flo ought
to know. He says:
''It was Durante who created
the expression originally and
used it in his early night
club entertainments. Then he
brought it into "ShOw Girl"
using it six times at every per-
fOrmance as an explosive to end
his scenes"
am satisfied to take Mr.. Zieg-
fields credit. At any rate you can
hear Mr.. Durante getting off hot
cha! in his own inimitable way if
you care to watch and listen to
the comedian closely in "The Wet
