F|GHT SALE Of
FIREWORKS
Order Measure Drafted and
Submitted to County Legls-
latorS at Annapolis

Fireworks are to explode pre-
maturely in lower Montgomery
county with the entrance into the
fight of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, which is drafting a meas
ure to abolish the selling and
shooting of July Fourth crackers
in lower Montgomery and Prince
Georges counties.
The commission has authorized
it's counsel, j. Bond Smith, to
draft a measure to that end for
submission to the county delega-
tions in the State legislature, it
was said.
The measure is to be in direct
contrast to that introduced at
Annapolis last week by Marvin
harrington for Chevy Chase, and
the attitude of the county com.
missionerS who insist that present
restrictions on sale Of fireworks
are not generally violated and do
not constitute a nuisance.

Elderly Men Furtive
Walking up Fifth Avenue on
the first afternoon of my adven-
ture I was fully conscious Of the
Stares I was receiving. The
women were frank about their
ogling. The elderly men were fur
tive: the young ones quite bold.
The young girls audibly expressed
their opinion. I had gone four
blocks in the Forties before I
heard "Cute! SWELL" and "Ah!"
from the young women.
A group Of elderly ladies I
passed spoke cuttingly for my ears.
One of them said:
Something ought to be done
about it,"
At Fortieth Street and Fifth
Avenue, New York, my heart
stopped. Although I was wearing
the clothes with a sincere interest
in this new style departure, I did
not wish to play the martyr to
Modernity.

A policeman saw me. His eyes

GRAIN DECISION
STRIKES BLOW
At GAMBLING
Officials in Charge oil, Futures
Act Study Effects of RuI-
ing BY High Court

A decision Of the Supreme
Court that margin speculation in
grain futures in Missouri Is
gambling was being studied by
officials in charge of administra-
ton of the federal grain futures
act today.
The decision was directed at
grain speculation as conducted in
most brokerage offices.
In the case before the court,
decided on a 6 to 3 vote, A. P.
Dickson and other Carrollton,
Mo-, citizens refused to pay
$3,714 due the Uhlmann Grain
Company on their trading account
on the ground that it was a
gambling transaction.
Dealt In Futures
The Uhlrann Company replied
that the orders we're executed in
the usual way on the Chicago
and other exchanges to buy or
sell futures.
The high court found that the
practice was to buy futures and
then, if grain advanced, to sell
them. The same practice was to
be followed in bear" trading.
No actual delivery was contem-
plated, it held.
All requirements Of the Federal
grain futures act under which
exchanges are regulated, were
met. the court found, Justice
Brandeis said:
"Of the five defendants in
the cases consolidated for trial,
who were the plaintiffs largest
customers at CarrOlltOn, two
were farmers, two were clothing
merchants and one was an ice
dealer.
NOT IN GRAIN BUSINESS
"TheSe defendants, who were
not in the grain business, who
nau never Gra0ed on q grain
exchange, and who had no
facilities for handling grain,
purpOrted to buy and sell in
amounts up to $4,000 bushels
in single transaction"
The evidence, he said, war
ranted the conclusion that "the
contracts on the exchange were
entered into by the company to
enable it to secure the data for
the defendants wages and to pro-
vide the means for determining
the defendants gains and losses;
and that both so regarded the
contracts on the exchange"
Justice Butler, who was joined
in dissenting by Justices Stone
and Caroozo,. pointed cut that
the Uhlmann Grain Company has
been a big grain company for
years and denied the majority
contention.

TAX ON BETTING
WOULD YIELD
. BIC RETURN
So 500 License Fee and Levy
Of | Per Cent on Winnings
Are Proposed BY Plan

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. Under a
new plan receiving general sup
port in the legislature today, a
$500 tax would be levied on each
bookmaker in the city of Balti-
more, bookmaking would thus be
legalized, and the State would get
$1,500,000 annually from this tax
and a one per cent tax on race
winnings handled by each bookie.
The counties would get 2C per
cent of the revenues, with Balti-
more getting the bulk for local
relief.
BOOkieS Favor Law
While Baltimore civic leaders
as well as Governor Ritchie are
now leaning more and more
toward the idea of a two per cent
general sales tax on all commodi-
ties, many of the leading sena-
tors who say they have made a
survey of Baltimore bookmakers
declare the tax on them and on
winnings is feasible, and that
the bookies will not object to it.
Some objections are anticipated
from race track interests, but the
senators believe this opposition
will vanish when an alternative
tax on the tracks themselves is
threatened.
Whipping Ban Asked
Abolition of the whipping post
for wife beaters in the State is
also urged in a measure awaiting
action by the legislature today. A
$4,000. 900 bond issue for widening
the Philadelphia road, and a plan
to require a popular referendum
on any bill dealing with prohibi-
tion also are I'D.

Farmer Likened to Goat;
He Has Been for Long Time
Interesting Yarn of the Attitude
Government Officials View
Tiller of Soil

The following yarn, handed thu
by DR.. j. A, Dubois, rather
perhaps, but it might illus
trate the governments knowledge
of, and attitude toward the farmer
Representatives Of the Wis
consin Milk Pool are circulat-
ing an amusing statement
which is bit of sarcasm on
the failure of the farmer to or
ganize for his own good. State
ment follows:
"One of the national recovery
schemes deals with the reduc-
ton of surplus livestock by
killing off a, lot of hogs and
other animals.
In carrying out this plan the
government recently sent an ap-
praiser into a country district
to list the livestock on hand,
and set value upon it, in ord
er that the farmers could be
suitably reimbursed for their
losses in the reduction cam
paign.
The youngest appraiser from
the city did not know one ami
NAL from another, so he had a
little book of instructions with
him describing the various
classes of livestock and telling
him how to value each accord
ing to age, condition and breed.
But the very first animal he
saw was goat, and he was un-
able to find it described in the
book. He Immediately wired
his superiors in Washington as
follows:
Have found animal with a
forlorn face, a long beard,
skinny body and a bare rump.
What is it's name and what val
uation shall I set upon it?'
s. A few hours later he received
this reply from his headquart-
ers in the national capital:
The animal you describe is
farmer and has no value.'"
