EVEREST CLIMBERS
AT CRITICAL POINT
RuttIedge Describes Advance
Beyond Camp 3-Arctic
Tents Success.
BY HUGH RUTTLEDGE.

Leader, Mount Everest Climbing Expedition
RONGBUK, May 18 (By wireless
from Base Camp via Gangtok) DIR.
Raymond Greene, our senior medical
officer; Tom Brocklebank, George
Wood johnson, transport officer, and
] have joined the advance party which
established camp at height Of 21,-
900 feet. There is much snow now on
the glacier and violent wind blowing
from the glacier itself.
Our Arctic tents have proved an i'm
mense success. They have enabled the
party to remain in comfort throughout
a period of strong winds and low tenn
perature. Fifty-two degrees frost was
registered one night.
The great ice wall between camps 3
and has completely changed since the
expedition of 1924 Two tentative re-
connaissances have been made and as
a result we seem to have hit on a
rather steep but safe road.
Party OFF to Make Route.
An advance party, consisting Of E.
E. Shipton F. S. Smythe, j. L. Long
land and Dr. Greene, left camp 3 with
one Arctic tent in an effort to erect
the latter at the foot of the ice wall
The men also will endeavor to make a
route halfway up. A second party,
comprising P Wyn-Harris. L. R. Wager,
Capt E. St. j. Birnie and Maj. Hugh
Boustead, will continue the work.
We cannot yet be quite certain
whether the old ice shell which accom-
modates camp is still in position, but
probably it is.
AS a result Of our slow acclimatiza-
ton methods. we have ten members Of
the expedition at or above camp in
splendid condition and fit for the great
climb.

FACTS ABOUT FIRE

During 1881 fire destroyed
approximately 10000 lives.
Nearly one-third of these
were children under ten years
of age.
Two-thirds of the total were
burned to death in homes.
The total economic loss was
$464,633,26
In order to visualize these
facts, compare them with the
following:
The annual fire bill is about
equal to rs per cent of the in
terest on our national debt.
The new excise and miscel-
laneous taxes recently imposed
on us will produce, in a year,
very little more than the an
nual fire bill.
Over 80 per cent of all fires
are easily preventable.
Fire is the great destroyer
not only of lives and property,
but OF employment, business

U. $. DEFICIT is OVER
RTT.TJ0N

The government ended the
first seven months of it's 1888
fiscal year with a deficit of ST.
271,721,031, having collected
from all sources 81, 1385O5, 91O
and spent $2,41O,226,941.
The public debt on January
81 amounted to $20,S01, 707, 1874
an increase of almost $3,0OO,-
100000 in the total in IL
months. On January 81, 1882,
it was $17,815,861,117.
The governments income
continued to fade away despite
an increase in miscellaneous
internal revenue coming from
new taxes.
Income tax in the seven
months amounted to 1888, 1885,
709 as compared with $685.
817,908 in the same period of
the previous year.
Miscellaneous internal reve-
nue., however, increased $147,-
100000, amounting to $751;
039,677.
Customs duties dropped to
S156,003,025 from $224,569,945
in the seven months of 1882.
General expenditures were
lower by 100000 than for
the same period of a year ago
and amounted to $1,358,128,-
142.
Total ordinary expenditures
of the government also were
lower than a year ago. They
were $2,361,911,226 compared
with $2,716,119,S49.
The sinking fund this year
has required to date $41S,764,-
900 as compared with $685.
299,200 a year ago. The pos
tai deficiency has amounted to
$55,07S,597 as compared with
$105,000,000 last year.
The receipts for the present
year fell $150,OOO,0OO below
those of a year ago but the def
cit on January 81 was $241,-
100000 less than on January
81, 1882.
AS yet the government col
lections have not reflected the
increased income tax levied on
1882 incomes and officials look
to this payment on March Is
to reduce the deficit some.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1933-02-10

We are publishing this week
a survey of the cost of school
operations in Cecil county, as
presented by superintendent
Howard T. Ruhl at the recent
meeting of the Teachers Asso-
citation.
A careful reading of this
comprehensive survey proves
that the charges of extrava-
gance, waste, etc., made by
many not in accord with the
present public school system,
are not founded upon facts.
A case in point is that of
consolidation, which permits
the operation of schools with
fewer teachers and a saving in
salaries.
The increase in school ap-
preparations is shown to have
been due to the erection of new
High School buildings and not
to an increase in maintenance.
The rapid increase in the
number of students has been
the primary cause of increase
in operation, as the State law
provides for the automatic adj
vancement in salaries paid
teachers. These and other
points are revealed, and a care
full reading of the survey is in
vited by everyone interested in
our schools-as we all are
that a better conception of the
much discussed subject may be
had.

Dear Editor of The Midland:
was quite pleased to read in your
valued issue of 26th inst, the report
of the Cecil County Tax Payers
League survey of the County expens-
es, with their wholesome recommen-
dation for relief.
This committee deserves the graft
tude of every Taxpayer and their
whole-hearted support. They certain
ly have opened up to plain view,
many things that were obscure
trust we may. by reasonable cooper
ation find a way out of the oppres-
sfve load of taxation under which we
are laboring.
Many thanks to 1.-THE Midland" for
publishing this report, that all may.
see and know.
Very truly,

please insert
MUssOLINPs EXAMPLE
NIussolini must be given credit for
setting at least one example before
the world that is worthy of emnlsyc'on
that of reducing salaries to make
them come within the revenues.
Salary mad America might well
consider the Mussolini plan. Just at Z
time when it is suspected that he
realizes decline in his own popular
| ity with the masses, he makes a mas
ter stroke that will go far toward re-
trieving his lost prestige Cutting
salaries will be popular with every
body except officeholders; and it Will
help the depleted treasury
The rise in the cost of government
in America would not be tolerated by
less patient and reasonable people.
Increase of salaries and of public Jobs
Is the great American sport In which
congress- and departments of govern
ment, both national and state, engage
with zest. 1t requires a genius to
raise the revenues necessary to pay
| for civil government which at times
| is none too civil ~
| Salaries that are paid by the public
are usually away out of proportion to
the service rendered. That makes
little difference, however. The man
who draws his pay check from public
revenues is poor salesman if he can't
persuade those who have the fixing of
salaries that he is so essential to his
particular job that his loss would be
Tnothing short of a calamity We
seem to forget that there are no in
dispensable men. The most important
man may die--does die-and the world
! goes right on as though he had never
lived. Salary grabbing, is an Amer
lean born word-born out of the never
ceasing effort of public servants to
increase their own salaries But it
would take the courage and the front
of Mussolini to stop this practice
that is threatening the stability of
American institutions

BILL TO REALLOCATE GAS
OLINE TAN
Counties Would Get 1919 By
Measure introduced
In House

The anti-administratiOn pro-
posal for reallocating gasoline
tax revenues to relieve local
road taxation was introduced
in the House of Delegates by H.
Street Baldwin (Dem., Baltic,
county, Monday night when
the General Assembly recon
vened.
Del. Baldwin's bill, drafted
by the County Commissioners
Association, would give Balti-
more city fiat thirty per cent
of all gasoline tax revenues, or
approximately $2,400,0oO in
1884, and slightly more than
this in 1886, if estimates of the
yield prove accurate.
1t would leave the lucent
fund for new construction of
lateral roads intact and would
give the counties thirty-fve per
cent of the 2-cent tax for main
tenance and reconstruction.
The State Roads Commission
would receive the other thirty
five per cent for it's mainten-
lance and reconstruction pro-
gram.
Conservatively estimated, ac-
cOrding to State officials, the
total Accent gasoline tax will
produce about $8,000,000 in
1884.
The nine shore counties
would receive as their share of
the 81, 100000 they would get
under the Baldwin measure in
the following proportion: Car
Eoline, 3 per cent; Cecil, 4 per
cent; Dorchester, 4 per cent;
Kent, 2 per cent; Queen Annes,
per cent; Somerset, rs per
cent; Talbot, 2 per cent; Wi
comico, per cent and Wor-
cester, 3.5 per cent.
Another m ure which
would grant relief from taxa
ton by reducing the State
school appropriations approx
mately $150,000, according II
it's author, Senator Milton l..
Veasey (Dem., Worcester) en-
powers the State Board of Ed
ucation and the State Superin-
tendent of Schools to close one
of the three white normal
schools.
Senator Veasey said that
meant either the Normal
School at Frostburg or the one
1t Salisbury would be chosen
most likely, and that the stu
tents probably would be trans
ferred to the large normal
school at Towson, if the school
authorities accepted their pow
er.
Senator Veasey also intro
duced a bill which would pro-
vide for amendment of the
State income tax, if and when
such tax was deemed neces-
sary. He said the question of
whether such a tax could be
imposed in Maryland has been
raised and the amendment
would remove any doubt.

SOME RESOLUTIONS WITH
TEETH IN THEM

If you failed to make certain
worthwhile resolutions at the
beginning of 1888, don't wait
until next year to make them,
is tn eadvice of DR.. Richard G..
Leonard, Chief of the Division
of Oral Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of
Health. There are many res
olutions worth making-and
keeping" DR.. Leonard said,
''for the sake Of ones health,
in which postponement; may be
dangerous. Three that make
for mouth health are:
1. To include in your diet
those foods that protect again
st tooth decay and other mouth
diseases.
2. To visit your dentist at
least twice yearly for mouth
examination and the necessary
correction of defects.
8. To cleanse the mouth
properly at least twice daily.
sThe foods we eat make for
or against mouth health. But
protection through diet does
not demand rare, expensive
and unpalatable foods. All
that is required is an adequate
supply of the mineral salts and
vitamines found in dairy pro-
ducts, whole grain cereals,
green leafy vegetables, and in
fresh fruit juices. In addition
sunlight and cod liver oil are
netded by the growing child
Your doctor will advise you in
regard to the amount of COO
liver oil required.
''The resolution regarding
semi-annual dem tai visits
should include a second one tC
look upon dental examinations
and treatment as preventives
of possible i'll health rather
than as unpleasant ordeals
Regular dental visits or early
ones Cat the very first sign Of
pain) will eliminate the toe
common and unfair dread OF
the dentists office.
ga resolution to keep the
mouth clean should be started
by learning how best to do so
Ask your dentist how you
should clean your teeth. Dc
not base your resolution tc
keep your mouth and teeth
clean and healthy on faith in
any particular tooth paste
Resolve to spend time neces-
sary twice daily for the proper
mouth cleansing, so universal
ly recognized as one of the i'm
portant factors of mouth
health.
"a fourth resolution is per-
haps the most important. That
is, to resolve to keep the other
three throughout 1888 and the
years to come. If you failed to
make these resolutions on New
Years Day, make them now
Health does not recognize hol-
idays. Any day is a good day
to make health resolutions"

Marital Break Is Not Elliott Roosevelt's First
Departure From Even Tenor Of Familys Ways
He Spuned College, Young And Sought World

New xOrk.-They've been q
model fannily--the Rooseveits. A
close and companionable. entity, In
tiividually independent collectively
liberal, each leading his or her own
life pretty much as preference die,
tated. In addition to. being the
First Family of the Land, they
have represented in the mind of an
interested public a truly typical
American family, with no single rift
in the even tenor of its life through
generations.
Thus the impending divorce ac-
ton of the Elliott Roosevelts brings
the first hint of discord that has
married the comradeship of the four
living generations. Yet even this
apparently is to be consummated
with the traditional Rooseveltian
candor and a quiet honesty that
promises to disarm the whole af-
fair Of unpleasantries.
s s
But with the second-eldest son
of the president seeking freedom
from his young wife. it becomes
clear that handsome, athletic Ell
lott is the family rebel, the least
tolerant of conventions OF the
whole tolerant group.
It was Elliott who got into the
most scrapes as youngster.s 1t
was Elliott who fatty refused to
attend college, And 1t was Elliott
who turned aside from the paths
of the other Roosevelt men to
blaze his,own trail, at 20, In the ad-
vertising business.
He was the most pleasure low
ing of the five children of Frank
lin Roosevelt, and yet the least
conscious Of his inherent social
position. He liked to pick his own
friends, to mingle unrecognized
with the crowds a theaters and
prize fights, to spend week-ends
with gay young crowds at country
resorts, and to rough 1t in the west
during summer vacations, working
his way like any ordinary young
ster.
AS had his brother James and
their father before them, Elliott
attended Groton school at Groton,
Mass. 1t Is SO exclusive that the

tered for enrolment when they are

very kindly to this environment.
He never became a senior project
as his brother had done. He de-
tested Latin and Greek, SKINNED
through these courses by slim
margin, but delighted chiefly In
schoolboy pranks and in athletics.
There may be. some significance in
the fact that when Elliott's own
son was born last November, APP
plication was not made for his en-
trance in Groton..
! From Groton, the second Roose-
welt son went to the Hun school
in Princeton, N. j., to prepare for
a college career. In fact he passed
his entrance examinations for
Princeton, then suddenly startled
his family and friends by declaring
that he wouldn't enter after all. He
wanted to get out into the world
and make his own way. And get
out he did.
Elliott and James both spent
many summer months on western
panches. One such expedition.
made by Elliott and two school
friends, went broke in Jackson
Hole, Wyo. Unwilling to wire
home for money, the boys found
jobs as ordinary ranch hands.
1t was on one of these west
ern trips that Elliott met an in
fluential New York advertising ex-
ecutive, who offered him job. Il
knew 1 couldn't possibly be worth
any such salary as he mentioned"
young Roosevelt said later. $50 /
made up my mind to come back
and get my own job and get paid
on my own merits"
So he turned down the lucra-
tive Job, went to another agency
where he had no friends, and
started at the bottom. 1t was along
about this time that he met pretty
