R. F. c. FUNDS A BENEFIT
TO 5000 WITHIN COUNTY
Total of FOrty-twO Projects En-
plOying 1,134 Heads of Fam
lilies Worked on Last Week
PEAK HAS BEEN REACHED

Although R. F. C. relief funds have
been available in Garrett county for
less than sixty days, approximately
$500 persons have been directly and
indirectly aided through work projects
in twenty-six communities of the
county. A total of forty-two diff
ferent pieces of work employed 1,134
heads of families last week. A dis
tribution of $3,46O when paid the
workers was taken back into their
families and gave relief to at least
one-third of the county's total popula-
ton.
The peak of developing work pro-
jects for needy heads of families has
probably been reached, according to
George D. Browning, County Com
missioner and member of the Garrett
County Welfare Board. Mr.. Brown
ing is recognized as one of the best
informed road men of the county, and
while road building and the giving of
employment have been secondary to
providing aid to destitute families,
the medium through which most of
the R. F. C. aid has been granted has
been road building and repairs.
More than 1,700 applicants have
registered with the Welfare Board.
Many have thought of the funds as
means of providing much-needed en-
ployment and approximately twenty
per cent of the applicants have had to
be refused because they did not quail
ify as heads of destitute families.
"There are still about 100 persons
who have not been rated at this time"
Miss Wilcox stated today. eve have
had great many more people apply
ing than we anticipated" Miss Will
cox continued, land l believe much of
it is due to the fact that many men,
both young and old, have been with
out employment so long, they are
grasping at our relief projects as
means of providing them money for
many very necessary things, such as
clothing, unpaid bills including mort
cages, taxes, doctors and countless
other obligations. l have had to say
to such applicants that the limited R.
F. C. funds placed at the disposal of
the Welfare Board of this county must
be conserved for those who would
otherwise suffer for actual food. It
has been hard to make some under
stand the distinction we have had to
Make" Miss Wilcox stated, "but most
people realize it would require hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to pro-
vide every willing worker in the coun-
ty with the means for providing for all
his needs"
Because of the unusual number of
families in actual need of mainte-
nance the Board of Welfare has had
to make some retrenchment and sin
gle men in large families who were
permitted to work along with their
fathers in helping to provide neces-
sary funds in the home have had to be
cut off and in some cases the hours of
work allowed in families have been
reduced. The Board has noted with
qualification that employment in some
sections of the county seems to be on
the increase. In other sections, how
ever, mines which have been operat-
ing two and three days each week are
now either closed down entirely or are
giving but one days employment a
week to their men.

Places Bibles In Homes

Rev. F. F. Leonard, Baltimore,

DR.. Leonard spent several weeks in

for transmitting the report instantly
to the ranger at his station and the
fire dispatcher at the forest head
quarters. The U. s. Forest Service
places telephone communication along
with roads, truck trails, horse trails,
and frebreaks among the first re-
Quirements in forest protection"
New Telephone Lines
At the close Of the fiscal year 1892
the national forests were equipped
with Alba miles Of telephone lines,
according to Mr.. Headley. During the
year, he states, 2,O32 miles of new
telephone lines were constructed, and
more recently plans have been made
to provide 1926 additional miles of
line, which will be erected by the
emergency conservation corps work
ers. All together the forestry depart
ment is planning to add 10000 miles
of new telephone lines to its system.
In addition to its use in fighting
fires, the telephone system in the
national forests is to regulate part Of
the forest equipment for general ad-
ministration as well as emergency
uses, according to Mr.. Headley. Many
temporary lines have been laid to
serve as communication systems in
fighting fires. The forest service de-
partment maintains large number Of
portable telephones which are always
available for hurried installations in
the locality of fires, road construction
jobs and for use of emergency camps
In the forests.

ment Of the telephone laboratories.
Apparatus developed by the Bell
Telephone Laboratories to test metals
utilized in telephone equipment has
aroused considerable interest in scien-
tifc circles. Using this equipment,
the laboratories engineers are able
to determine the amount of gas abb
sorbed in iron, copper and other
metals. The apparatus consists in
part of light glass baskets suspended
from quartz springs which are cali
brated so that the weight of the
absorbed gas is determined by meas
uring the extension Of the springs.
Changes in weight Of a few thou
sandths OF a milligram may be
measured with this equipment, accord
ing to Earle e. Schumacher, chemical
engineer Of the laboratories.
The Bells system uses a large
amount OF iron. copper and other
metal In the manufacture OF telephone
equipment and wire. 1t being essen
tial that all Of these supplies be
DEOduced as nearly perfect a. possible.

Fire losses in national forests this
year are the smallest on record, being
about sixty per cent in burned area
below the losses of September Of last
year. . ~.
Forest fire control conditions are In
q large measure responsible for this
condition, according to Roy Headley,
assistant forester and chief of opera
lions. The thousands of workmen OF
the Citizens Conservation Corps, oc-
cupying hundreds of camps, who have
been on hand to fight fires, augmented
by increased communication lines,
have played an important part in this
very credible showing, he says.
c. c., C. Forces Aid
The Citizens Conservation Corps
men have responded quickly and ener-
getically to the calls to fight fires,
according to Mr. Headley, who states
that new truck trails, horse trails, and
telephones lines constructed by the
c. c. c. forces have increased the op
portunities to have men and equip
ment reach fires before the flames had
gained sufficient Roadway to be real
disastrous. q
Telephone communication" Mr..
Headley says, plays an extremely i'm
portant part In national forest fire
control. Part of the equipment of
every fire lookout perched high in his
tower or cabin in the 14S national
forests of the United States is a tele-
phone. Just as important as the field

scientists and engineers at the Bell
laboratories are constantly making
tests to determine the properties Of
these metals.
Minute traces Of gas In a metal may
change its properties radically, ac-
cording to Mr.. Schumacher. The
magnetic permeability Of commercial
pure iron, he says, for example. may
be greatly increased by eliminating
the small amounts Of gas that It con-
tains, while a few thousandths OF one
per cent Of oxygen In copper will
make It useless for certain purposes.
Since iron and copper as well as other
metals are used extensively in the
telephone industry the effect OF gases
on them Is of extreme Importance to
the Bell System companies. 1t Is for
this purpose that sensitive equipment
for measuring the gas contents Of
metals and for obtaining metals in an
essentially gas-free condition has been
developed in the metallurgical labora-
tories.
