participants in Maryland's greatest
historical pageant were imbued with
that same spirit which actuated our
forebears in 1884.
The chief speaker on Friday was
the Rev. John Elliott Ross, of Vir-
ginia, chaplain of the Ark and Dove
Society, who spoke on the ideals of
the early Maryland colonists, who set
tied st. Marys in 1884.
"The celebration of Maryland's
tercentenary," he said, SHOULD leave
deepening in all hearts to live up
to the principles of religious free
dom set down by those first settlers"
Presentation of gifts for the new
Statehouse replica by organizations
and individuals throughout Maryland
followed.
Among the prominent notables pre-
senting the gifts were:
State Senator Lewis Melbourne,
president Of the Eastern Shore So
ciety, who presented portrait of
George Calvert on behalf of the
society; Mrs. Edward Shoemaker, a
bust of Leonard Calvert, presented

Farley To Decide
Fate OF Railway
Scheduled Today
Capital Transit And County
And State Officials. To. Meet
, At Bethesda

The death knell of the Washington
Bethesda-Rockville trolley lines may
be settled today Thursday as the
result of a scheduled conference to
be held this afternoon at Bethesda
when officials of the Capital Transit
Company, of Washington and repre-
sentatives of the Board of County
Commissioners and the State Roads
Commission plan to discuss the, pro-
posed abandonment of the electric
railway.
John H. Hanna president Of the
Capital Transit Co., declared that his
company has mot reached any deci-
sion regarding the question and is
awaiting to see what the public wants
before it acts" He will be accom-
panied to the conference by his assist
ant, G. Melvin Sharpe, he said.
Hanna stated that, regardless Of
the decision that it, reached, the final
word on the railway situation rests
with the Public Service Commission,
which controls the public utilities Of
Maryland.
Many powerful civic organizations
and several hundred citizens through
the medium of responses to question
naires mailed out by civic and politi-
cal bodies, have advocated abandon
ment of the railway when the State
and county begin the widening and
resurfacing Of the avenue from, the
District Of Columbia line to the old
Georgetown road, in Bethesda.
In place of the line, they have urg-
ed that modern BUS service be substi-
tuted to serve commuters between
points in the western section of the
county and Washington. s
Still others have injected strenu-
Gus objections against the proposal to
do away with the electric railway and
have asked both the county commits
sioners and the Public Service Com
mission to have it continued.
Under the plan of the county COM
missioners and the, State Roads Com
mission, the avenue will be widened
to rs feet and resurfaced. If it is de-
cided to continue with the railway,
the double-line track will be removed
and replaced with single track be-
tween the District line and Old
Georgetown road and the trolley poles
will be removed from the center of
the roadway apd replaced with orna-
mental iron standards on either side
of the thoroughfare.
1t is estimated that it will cost ap-
proximately $4,000 more to improve
the avenue if provisions are made for
the electric line than it would if the
line is abandoned. {;

Maryland Wheat Crop
Set At 1901, 900 Bushels

The wheat crop in Maryland is fore
cast on June 1, at about 7,201 900
bushels, according to Richard C. Ross
agricultural statistician for the Mary
land Crop Reporting Service. The fore
cast is about 100000 bushels below
1927-1931 average production, but is
only 100000 larger than the 1888
production. However, the final outturn
of the crop will depend upon weather
conditions between June 1 and harv-
est time, which in the past has prov
en- to be the critical period for the at
tack of funguous diseases.

SALES AND SERVICE

The old idea of retail trade was
to make sales anyway. 1t did not
make much difference whether the
goods were right or not, provided
sales were made.
But unfortunately some of those
goods passed over the counters die
not stay passed. The customers
would discover that they were not
right, and the goods would come
bounding back. In other cases, the
goods were used, but the customers
did not like them, and conceived q
prejudice against the store. That
kind of sale is considered no good
now, at least it is so considered ir
the stores of Salisbury. Our mer
chants do not care to have goods
go out of the store unlesss they fee
sure that the customer is going te
be pleased and satisfied.

There is great significance in the
growing strength of the "silvel
bloc" in the Senate and the House.
Not many months ago a proposal
that would have stabilized the me-
tai and increased its worth was
it is believed that there is a major
ity in both houses for similar leg
islation.
There is unquestionab1y a vital
need for the jobs, the investments,
the purchasing power, the taxes,
that stimulated mining activities
would create. And the slowness
with which farm prices have risen,
in. spite of aggressive work on the
part of the government and priv
ate farm groups, has led to the be-
lief by many that a change in mon
etary policy is essential.

time, it may be the start of some
thing really serious. It is truly

The inspection should be brief

itancy or alarm should be shown
by the teacher. No comments
should be made lest fear arise.
When excluding a pupil, smile and

should be alert to every change.

THE FARM HOME

The farm housing survey, a pro-
iect of the Civil Works Admins
tration, is producing facts and
statistics that are of exceptional
interest.
The survey covers such factors
as condition of walls, chimneys.
roofs, ETC., the age of the struc-
ture, the number of rooms and oc-
cupants, and whether Or not it has
ordinary conveniences and COM
forts. The average urban dwellef
will be surprised to learn that
heavy percentage of the farm
homes are entirely without plumb
ing of any kind. The bulk of the
homes are in only fair condition;
many are classified as being
poor. And only a comparatl I've
handful have electric or gas labor
saving devices.
Here is a vast market for the
sale of building materials and sup
plies. In "a number of states the
market has barely been touched;
homes are little different than they
were twenty-five years ago. Va
rious plans are on foot to make it
possible for more farmers to fin
ance new building and effect i'm
provements and alterations to old
structures. If the plans go through
it will mean not only better living
quarters for the farmer-it mil
mean that a legion of men will find
Jobs, both in the actual work of
construction and in the industries
supplying materials.
1t is the general opinion that
stimulated home building, in both
rural and urban areas, is essential
to achieving general economic re-
covery. And it is pleasant to note
that the outlook for new con-
s%truction is better now than at any
time in the past four years.

MINING OUTLOOK BRIGHT

MINING w 1LOOk BR1GHl
Here's an encouraging para
graph, taken from the Mining Re
view of Salt Lake City: EN-
creasing activity in the meta
mining industry, augmented by
$35 gold, and a more favorable
outlook for the other metals, is the
gladstone refrain now grooming in
volume and strength from all sec
tons of the West. A recent sur
vey among more than four thous-
and companies from Arizona to
the Canadian border gives definite
evidence of a return to activity :. .
,Assyers are busy again, old mills
are turning wheels that haven't
moved in more than three years
and many new ore treating plants
are contemplated, smelter receipts
show a substantial increase in ore
shipments, and equipment and sup
ply houses are awakening. after a
long nap, to realize that there is a
growing interest in their merch-
andise."
Workers, farmers, storekeepers,
professional men, industrialists Of
all kinds. will smile happily on
reading that. 1t means thousand:
of potential jobs, a vast jump If
Western purchasing power, a ire
mendous field for selling services
and commodities of every kind ane
shape-from legal knowledge te

revived tax income for govern
ment.
The outlook for mining is better
than it has been for many years.
That, in turn, considerably i'm
proves the outlook for recovery

JOBS IN THE GROUND

There are thousands of potentia
Jobs in the ground.
The jobs will be provided by the
mining industry-when the min
ing comes back. Not many years
ago the mines were the greatest
employers and taxpayers in a num-
Der of states. Their prosperity was
responsible for the prosperity of
agriculture, retailers, local indus
tries of all kinds. And the money
they '"created" went far beyond
state borders, and made itself felt
throughout the entire country.
A mining revival would be a long
step toward good times.
