PRINCE PLAN RESOLUTION

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 22.-The State
House tonight began to hum with ex-
citement as legislators and political
leaders gathered here for the opening
of the extraordinary session of the
General Assembly tomorrow.
The Republicans held the center of
interest as the state leaders met with
the minority members of the two
houses in caucus, but prominent demo-
cratic leaders gathered in the halls
to exchange greetings and talk over
what the governors message may con-
tain and other state matters.
Addressed by Leaders
The Republican caucus was slow in
getting under way as the party legis-
lators first listened to talks by several
of their state leaders, including Galen
L. TAFT, chairman of the Republican
State Committee; Wendell D. Allen,
chairman of the Baltimore committee,
and others.
TAFT, before going into the meeting,i
handed out statement in which he
urged the minority legislators to
study the finances of the State Roads
Commission, to encourage federal aid
to stat eand local relief projects and
to oppose the "Prince Plan" for con-
solidation of the railroads, among
other recommendations.
Saying "let Maryland see the pay
rolls and the balance Sheet" TAFT in
his statement before the caucus, urged
the Republican delegates and senators
to make public the accounts and en-
ployment list of the State Roads Com
mission.
Condemns prince Plan"
Another joint resolution should be
passed condemning the Prince Plan
(now before the Federal coordinator)
for uniting the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania railroads. This,
he said, would be in approval of the
position of opposition taken to the
plan by the Baltimore Association of
Commerce.
"The Prince Plan for forcibly weld
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
to the Pennsylvania Railroad would be
deeply and damnably damaging to the
interests of Baltimore and all the ter
ritory and business people of Mary
land"
Richie Backs Maryland Lottery
A bill intended to clear the way for
the legalization of state and city
operated lotteries will be introduced
at the special session of the Mary
land legislature which opens tomor-
row, Democratic leaders, said today.
The measure is expected to have
the support of Governor Albert C..
Richie who several months ago an
nounced that he believed state oper-
ated lotteries and sweepstakes would
go far toward solving Maryland's
revenue problems.
Announcement that the bill would
be introduced was made by E. Lester
Muller, president of the Baltimore
city council, after long conference
with the Governor. Delegate Phillip
Wallace, of Baltimore, will present
the bill he said.
Expected to Pass
The proposed bill, which Muller
indicated was expected to pass, would
provide for statewide vote next
November on an amendment to the
state constitution which now bans lot

turned to Hollywood from Europe, bear
ing with him print of The Lady Is
Willing" made by Columbia in London
under Mr.. Cohn's supervision and
under the direction Of Gilbert Miller.
It IS Miller's first directorial attempt,
and the quality Of the picture proves
that the experiment Of assigning q
stage director, unframed in screen tech
nique, to the making Of q motion pic
ture was q successful one. Miller, al
though one Of New York's greatest
stage producers, had never before at
tempted to direct a motion picture
Leslie Howard, starred in the pic
ture, however, is trained screen
player. His long association with Mr..
Miller in New York stage production
and the perfect understanding between
them as player and producer had much
to do with the exceptional quality of
the picture.

Battery High Ball Opposed.

The so-called gasoline high-ball, con-
sisting of blended gasoline and alcohol,
has been discussed freely. Now comes
a new high-ball, even before repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment. This Is
the battery high-ball, and it appears
even worse. Motorists actually are
warned against its use.
Although repeatedly proven to be
without value, according to the Ma
tional Better Business Bureau, secret
compounds consisting principally of
commercial epson salts continue to be
offered to the public as magical aids
to storage battery performance. Ac-
cording to the bureau, chemical araly-
sis shows it to contain approximately
845 per cent epson salts and 155 per
cent ammonium alum.
The Bureau of Standards receives
many inquiries about materials which
are said to charge storage batteries or
otherwise improve their performance.
More than 100 of such materials have
been brought to the bureaus attention
during the past few years. A state
ment entitled Solutions do not charge
storage batteries" was issued in the
bureaus Technical News Bulletin. This
statement was based on tests of typical
materials available at that time. Since
then additional tests on solutions and
compounds, the latter in the form of
salts to be added to the battery elec-
trolyte, have been made. The later
tests confirm the bureaus previous con-
clusions that these materials do not
charge storage batteries nor do they
materially improve the performance of
the batteries.
Careful tests have shown that bat
teries containing these solutions be-
have essentially the same as similar
batteries not containing the materials
in question-that is, no essential i'm
provements in the capacity of the bat
teries, the time required for charging
them, the operating temperatures. or
the amount of water which must be
added to maintain them, have been
observed

was decided by the majority OF the

This decision is to be regretted as
many interested in traffic affairs OF our
city are of the opinion that such
plan would be of great benefit, espe-
cially during the morning and after
noon rush hours. At least, 1t would
seem wise to try out the plan. II.
through experience, this method OF
handling traffic proved unsuccessful, 1t
could be discarded
One-way traffic, east and west on

advantageous Mr.. Van DuZer had in
mind similar experiment for Eight

his belief that much congestion would
be eliminated and its dangerous ally,
accidents. prevented.
This plan will bob up again prob
ably and eventually may be carried
out.
