WINTER SCHOOL TO BE OFFER
ED BY UNIVERSITY OF
MARYLAND

| In the belief that there are thou
sands of rural young people in Mary
land who for one eason or another
are unable to attend a full college
course but who desire the opportun-
ity of attending real University for
limited length of time, the Univer-
sity Of Maryland will inaugurate this
winter for the first time a Winter
School in Agriculture, Home Eco
Monies and Rural Life. 1t will be
held at College Park from January
Z to February Is. While the school
has been planned primarily for those
under 25 years of age there are no
specific entrance requirements and
anyone may attend who is at least
| II years of age.
The school is under the immediate
supervision of DR.. Harold F. Cotter-
man, associate dean of The College of
Education, and Miss Marie Mount.
dean of the College of Home Eco
nomics. The cost for the six weeks
period, including all expenses, will
not exceed $50.
| Seventy-four courses, covering
subject matter running all the way
from farm machinery to rural jour-
nalism and home care for the sick to
art and handicraft will be offered and
the prospective student will be given
free rein in selecting the courses he
or she desires to take. Regular in
structors and professors at College
Park will teach the courses and
credit will be given for work COM
pleted. 1t is planned to award q
certificate of achievement at the end
of years work.
In every respect students attend
ing Winter School will have the same
privileges as full-time students.
This will include athletic contests,
for which a special ticket for the six
weeks period Will .e Issued, and the
many social and Educational func-
tions held during the winter at the
Institution.
1t is expected that, in addition to
others, a number OIL lo.M college
graduates who have changed their
occupations and who are now engag-
ed in part-time farming will attend
the courses.
A catalogue giving full particulars
of the school will be mailed upon re-
quest by DR.. Cotterman or Miss
Mount.

ART OF HOOKED RUG MAKING
REVIVED IN STATE

With the recent rather widespread
revival of interest in handicrafts,
none offers a more delightful pastime
for winter occupation than that of
making hooked rugs, says Miss Flor
ence Mason, District County Home
Demonstration Agent for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service.
The small, adjustable frame and
hook necessary to carry on this work
are both simple and inexpensive to
make and can be readily made at
home. Any old, discarded materials
around the house will serve as filters
for the rugs.
According to Miss Mason, interest
in hooked rug making has taken
new lease on life and one-day meet
ings are being held by the Extension
Service in various counties in the
state for the purpose of giving in
struction. Quite large number Of
women have signed up for these
meetings.
While the art Of hooked rug maxi
ing did not originate in this country
it did reach its highest Development
here and it has been handed down
from generation to generation as one
of our most cherished early tradi-
tions. Commercialization in recent
years has sought to rob the industry
Of some of it's individuality and it is
for this reason that Miss Mason
urges continuation of interest by the
women of Maryland in maintaining
the old high standards of quality OF
design and workmanship.
She points out that production Of a
high grade product requires timey
study, and skill, and while the actual
technique of hooking can be learned
quite readily, knowledge of filters,
designs and colors is necessary for
best results.

TELEPHONE INSTALLATIONS
ANNUAL AFFAIR IN JAPAN

in the Fiowery Kingdom, only about
10 per cent in the country as whole
are actually allowed to have instru-
ments installed. In the city of Toxic
last year, of the approximately 10000
people applying to have telephone in
stallations made, only 1000 were
accepted.
Japan is now served by less than
100000 telephones. This means that
there are about one and one-half tele-
phones for each 100 of the country's
population In the United States the
ratio is IA telephones for each 100
people. Telephone and Telegraph
Statistics of the World shows that
there are about So telephone CONVEX
sations held annually for each person
as compared with 205 in the United
States, Toxic, the largest city, with
a population of 100000 is served by
184,G00 telephones. This is about the
same number Of telephones serving
Washington, D. c., which has a popu-
lation of about 100000.

If telephone subscribers in this
counsry on applying for service were
told that installations were only al
lowed in June of each year as is the
case in Japan, serious complaints
would no doubt be made. This would
be especially true in Maryland, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and the District
of Columbia, territory served by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies where the average tele-
phone is installed within q few days
after the application is made,
Applications for telephone service
in Japan must be made during the
month of June. or the prospective SUBJ
scriber must wait for another year be-
fore the instrument will be installed.
The alternative is that be pay pre-
MUM to secure telephone already
serving another subscriber. The aver
age premium for telephone paid last
year, according to Telephony, was 700
yen, which is approximately 500.

THE DREAMING OCEAN
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

The ocean in all it's glory,
Dreaming so fond and true;
White-caps rolling and rolling in,
While skies above so blue.
Dreaming, forever dreaming,
And sails white as white can be;
AS we stand or the shore watching
The ships far out at sea:
Dream ON thou beautiful ocean,
Dream on, and on, and on,
Till the storms that sweep thy bosom
Are forever all over and gone.
Dreaming in sunshine and shadow,
Silvery moonlight over the lea,
Until time is no more forever,
When there shall be no more sea.

OF q . y ~
stored banks will naturally resume a
more normal lending policy. This does
not mean they will or should extend
loose or unsound credit. but that in the
utmost good faith bankers will per-
form their proper part in recovery by
a sympathetic and constructive atti-
tude in the making Of sound loans. Nor
should commercial banks make capital
or long time loans, for the reason that
their loans are made from funds de-
rived from deposits payable for the
most part on demand.
When the return of confidence is
further on it's way, business men will
find need for credit in making their
plans. Then good borrowers, who for
the most part have been so conspicu-
ously absent from the market. will re-
turn. They will be warmly welcomed
by the banks.
Business Mems Fears
Business men have not yet laid all
their fears. They worry about what
Congress may or may not do. They con-
Germ themselves about trend toward
control of business by government.
They fear taxes beyond their power to
pay. These are real sources o. worry
and when they are treasured along
these lines they will be more inclined
to take a fresh look at the future and
to make plans to go forward.
AS a matter of fact there are tangi-
BILE evidences of recovery. The Federal
Reserve Board officially has stated
that prices, wages. business activity
and production were back to the high
est peak since early in 1881. CONNER
cial failures in the United States are
being cut almost In half as compared
with the same period last year. 1t has
been reported that the decline in ex-
port and import trade was definitely
checked in the middle of 1888 and re-
placed during the last half of the year
by a substantial recovery movement.
Among favorable factors is the i'm
proved condition of the banks. It IS
doubtless true that the banking struc-
ture of the country has never been in a
sounder, stronger and more liquid con-
dition than it Is today. Ny authority
for that statement is the Comptroller
of the Currency. No longer is there any
fear or thought of bank runs. DEPOSIT
tors once more know that their money
is safe and the banker. thrice armed in
the knowledge of his own strength. Is
looking forward.

quarter of this year the Bell System
had net gain of about $4,000 tele-
phones as compared with net loss OF
$4,000 telephones in the correspond
ing period of last year. The net gain
since the first of the year has been
about $4,000.
The number of toll and long distance
calls during the third quarter was
about two and one-half per cent great

For the nine months the increase was
about five per cent over the CORE

of the Western Electric Company, and
about 10 cents per share of the earn

the nine-month period by the asso-
ciated companies as a whole.

INADEQUATE PASSING DISTANCE

Contrary to popular belief, sup
ported in some states by provisions
of motors vehicle law, an assured
clear distance ahead of 800 feet is
not sufficient for the safe passing of
one vehicle by another.
That statement is made by the
Keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land on the basis of tests conducted
by the National Bureau of Standards,
which developed the important fact
that for a car to overtake and pass
another travelling at 40 miles an hour
on road where speeds of SO miles
an hour are to be expected, the
driver intending to pass must have at
least 900 feet Of clear road ahead, if
the maneuver is to be executed in
safety.
In overtaking a slower vehicle
travelling at 20 miles an hour, the
safe passing distance is given as $50
feet, made up of 200 feet for the
overtaking vehicle plus $50 feet for
a vehicle approaching at so miles
per hour. For maximum speeds
above so. the safe passing distance
is more than 900 feet.

said Albert E. Buckley, Manager OF
the Keystone Automobile Club OF
Maryland. Entirely new light ia

engaged the attention Of safety au-
thorities. In view Of the results Of
these tests, safety ideas are subject
to revision.
Analysis of highway accidents

crashes that can be attributed. in

ing distance. Motorists generally
have always believed that a clear
distance of about 500 feet was quite
ample. The test results just an

drivers is to pay particular attention
to this phase of driving and refrain
from taking chances"
