DEMOCRATS PLAN
TO RENEW DEMAND
FOR 5 PER CENT CUT
Continued From First Page.)

means Of carrying out this reduction of
per cent. but the amendment does not
direct him to do it"
But the Senator will admit that un-
der that authority the Postmaser Gen
eral could reduce any employees salary
per cent" queried Senator Blaine.
He has that authority already. un-
der the economy act that was passed
in the last session by furloughing"
Barkley replied. He may bring about
this per cent economy by furloughing
employees in the department"
Barkley added that it might also be
done by readvertising for bids on con-
tracts, or in any other way.
Would Make Plan General.
Senator Blaine suggested that by
bringing up the proposed amendment
under the general economy section 1t
could be considered as a proposal that
would apply on the same terms to all
departments, instead of attempting to
apply it separately to each appropria-
ton bill as it comes along. Several
Senators brought out that there is no
assurance the same amendment could
be attached to other departmental bills
If it is adopted separately on these two
departments.
The total in the pending bill for the
Treasury and Post ONCE Departments
is approximately S96l, 100000 Senator
Bratton said the 5 per cent amendment
would save about s45, 100000 on this
bill. 1t also was brought out in the
debate that, If applied to the Govern
meft service as a whole, it would save
about $130,000000.

MINERAL REEF FOUND
Glauber's Salt Strip Mile Long In
Great Salt Lake.

By the Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY, February IA
floating reef Of what has been analyzed
as Glauber's salt, a mineral used In
medicine and the arts, has been dis
covered in Great Salt Lake.
Sea Scout officers said yesterday they
found the reef, more than a mile in
length and 10 to Is feet wide. when
they went to inspect their boats on
the lake. 1t is two or three feet thick
and sufficiently dense to bear a per-
sons weight, they said.
The reef was explained by the pres
ence of the salts in the water more
than sufficient to constitute a saturated
solution. Its formation was said to be
accelerated by the coldness of the
water. which is over 20 per cent salt
and does not freeze.

State of Maryland, in the interest of
the twenty-seventh annual Tubercu-
losis Christmas Seal Sale of Mary
land tuberculosis Association and its
affiliated branches,
"The annual Christmas Seal Sale
has played prominent part in the
reduction of the tuberculosis death
rate in the past twenty-five years, :"
said William B. Matthews, Managing
Director of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association. When the first
Christmas Seal was sold in the coun-
try in 1907 the death rate was nearly
three times higher than it is today.
However, the job has not been COM
pleted by any means. tuberculosis
today is still the major health prob
lem in the ages of greatest economic
value. 1t is the greatest cause of
deaths between the ages OF Is and
As. 1t kills almost twice as many
girls as boys between the ages Of 15
and 20. 1t is the greatest cause OF
deaths among school children be-
tween the ages of 5 and 20 Except
accidents.) More than one fourth
of all deaths among young women,
and almost one fifth of the deaths of
young men between the ages OF Is
and 80 are due to tuberculosis.
Among negroes the mortality is be-
tween three to four times higher
than among whites.
The funds obtained from the
Christmas Seal Sale in Maryland are
used to finance the following activi-
ties of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association.
The Miracle House; known far and
wide as the preventorium for Mary
land children predisposed to tuber-
culosis.
Statewide free chest clinics; these
clinics have been conducted for nine
years. More than $4,000 examina-
lions have been made.
The Association also maintains a
year-round health education cam
paign in the interest of prevention
and control of tuberculosis, and also
assists in medical research.
The Seal Sale campaign which
opens on Thanksgiving Day, contin-
ues until Christmas.

meeting of the Elkton City Council,
the Rev. w. w. Thompson, pastor of
the Elkton Presbyterian Church,
termed the far-famed Elkton mar
Rage mart, IAN evil existing in the
community" and declared that every
conscientious citizen should stand
lghast at the methods employed by
che wedding racketeers."
This condition, he said, should
nave the immediate attention of the
authorities. The prickings of his
own conscience prompted the at
,ack. he explained.
The marriage mill is an evil ex-
isting in the community" the Rev.
w. w. Thompson told the Council
men, and as with any other condition
feel it my duty to bring the situa-
ton to the attention of the proper
authorities"
The minister 6ffered no solution
for the problem, but placed the
blame on the law, which. he said,
permits the monstrosity to live. In
his attack. Mr.. Thompson aimed his
thrusts at a local taxicab concern
and its allegedly employed marry
ing parsons. He pointed to the
fact that his home and church are
fianked on both sides by the profess
sional tiers of marital knots.

BRIDGE PROJECT LOOMS A.
POLITICAL ISSUE

The proposed Chesapeake. Bridge
looms as a political issue in the next
gubernatorial campaign as John
Philip Hill, who threw his hat in the
ring for the Republican gubernator-
ial nomination, jumped into the fight
and announced that he favored cree
ton of the structure.
Governor Richie, who may be a
candidate to succeed himself, is OPP
posed to the present plan Oh having
the bridge built by a corporation Gre
ated especially for that purpose by
the Legislature. Mr.. Hill, however,
is backing that plan.
The plan opposed by Governor
Richie, which, previous to the Hill
Endorsement, was proposed by ofic-
ials of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Company and is being backed by the
Association Of Commerce, will come
before the Legislature through a
measure to be introduced.
The bill provides for the creation
of the bridge corporation, which
would obtain a, $780, 900 grant and
a loan of s5,95O,OOO from the ma
tional government. The loan would
be secured by bonds issued by the
corporation and would be lien on
tolls from the structure.
In his statements opposing the
plan the Governor said it was his
duty to guard the States financial
responsibilities and credit.
