LoANs--NoT GIFTS

A nu mber of newspapers
them the Grayson-Carroll Gazette
have recently contained editorials
that reflect upon that portion of the
Recovery Program concerning the
borrowing of billions of dollars to
finance the various relief agencies
They assert that generations yet to
be born will find themselves burden
ed with this huge debt. They imply
that every dollar of it is an outright
gift to those who receive the money.
Just try to get one of these PWA
loans, or one of these home loans,
or one of these farm loans and see
whether it is gift! You will find
that they are ATTAINED only by those
who can offer ample security, and
that they must pay interest. Uncle
Sam, like all other lending agencies
takes no chances on losing his mon
| ey. He may lose some, of course.
That is the fate of all money lenders.
But he protects himself all that he
possibly can. He appraises the
property and the man himself. II
the land can be made to produce the
amount of the loan and interest
through the good management and
industry of the owner, Uncle Sam
will give him the chance by taking
up all of his old obligations and Civ
ing him a long term of years to pay
otherwise the loan is refused.
The RFC was the first alphabetic-
al plan to help the farmer and in
dustry. Practically every RFC loan
I made was paid at maturity-proo1
that government loans are as sound
as bank loans. The American peo-
pie pay their debts. All they want
is chance. The only advantage
Uncle Sam is giving his people is a
long period of time in which to pay
out, and lower rate of interest
than the present loan.
| Another angle OF the propoSltlor
is that Uncle Sam borrows this mon
ey at 2 or per cent and asks 4 and
per cent of his borrowers. The
profit to him is about the same as
the average bank receives.
Only a very small portion of these
billions are used in direct relief
The bulk of the money is placed in
loans that are being used in Public
Works, in Home Loans and in Farm
Loans.
The fair presentation of this gov
eminent borrowing would be tc
state how this money is to- be used
and assurance given that it will be
repaid not "by generations yet I'M
born" but by the generations who
will benefit from the loans.

TOURISTS URGED TO CHECK
ROUTES

The keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland uges local motorists plan
ming vacation trips into Pennsylvan-
ia to make careful check of routes
before starting, because of the nu-
merous construction projects now
under way in the neighboring state.
The Clubs Touring Bureau has
been besiged in the last two weeks
by motorists seeking accurate infor-
nation on road conditions through
out the East, Middle West and New
England. According to Albert E.
Buckley, Manager of the Club in
Maryland, the volume of long dis
lance travel this year exceeds that
of last summer by a good margin.
1t is particularly heavy, he said, in
the direction of New England and
Canada.
MANY motorists mar thier vaca-
ton trips he continued, "by mark
ing out route on an old map and
picking destinations they hope to
reach at the end of each days travel,
only to find soon after starting that
the schedule is disrupted by high
way conditions of which they were
in total ignorance. They also dis
cover that route numbers have been
changed since the time the map was
published, making it impossible to
follow the plans originally outlined.
"In Pennsylvania alone there are
nearly 100 road projects in the con-
struction or reconstruction stage.
On about one-fourth of these, half
width construction is in progress,
permitting traffic to move cautious
ly over the other half of the road.
another factor often overlooked
by the vacationist is the oil.ng
schedule An extensive program of
road oiling now is under way, and
the prudent motorist will check
carefully on this phase Of travel be-
fore starting out"

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN WARMING

Democratic keynote was sounded
in the Presidents radio speech of
few weeks ago-while he is not run
ming, his political fortunes in the
future will depend greatly upon re-
election of enough Democratic sena-
tors and representatives to hold firm
control of Congress. In his speech
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed to gains that
have been made in fighting depres-
sion, defended his measures without
qualification, said that we were well
on the road to recovery. The Ad-
ministration has at it's disposal one
of the most high-geared publicity
and campaign machines the country
has ever seen.
Basis of the Republican campaign
can be expressed in four words:
Back to the Constitution" The
Republicans hold that Administra-
ton fiscal policies have brought us
to the brink of uncontrolled inf1a-
ton; that tremendous federal ex-
penditures, reflected in increasing
taxes, are eventually going to bank
rupt business and agriculture; that
the MIRA and other bureaus which
seek to regiment industry and sub
ject it to strict federal control are
opposed to our traditions and are
making dead letter of the consti-
tuition.
1t also appears that there is to be
a third side to the campaign-car-
ried on by one of the most brilliant
and unpredictable of Senators, Will
liam Borah of Idaho. Senator Bor-
ah has started on speaking tour on
his own hook, during which he will
follow in the footsteps of leading Ad-
ministration speakers and present
another side of the picture. Mr..
Borah's greatest love in life is the
constitution, and he has no love for
experiments which, in his belief,
weaken and change it. However
the Senator is not particularly
jealous admirer of the present set-up
of the Republican party either. The
other day he said that neither major
party is offering program that
would advance the interests of the
ordinary man; pointed to what he
considers major weakness and over
sights in both platforms.

The next decisive change so far
as business at large is concerned is
likely to come through reorganiza-
ton of the NRA. The other day the
Associated Press reported that it had
learned, through reliable source
close to the Administration, that the
MIRA was to receive a thorough over
hauling.
Main change in the NRA will be to
modify governmental regulatory ac-
tivities; permit business to rule it
self under federal supervision. Do
ing this would eliminate many cur
rent criticisms of the NRA-a size
able part of the public believes that
it now represents rampant bureauc-
racy of the most dangerous kind.

YOUR CAR AS YOU WOULD

During the past IS months over
100000 motorists have responded to
General Motors picturized question
naires dealing with various features
of automotive design.
The new 1884 edition is now be-
ing mailed in large quantities to
motorists located in all sections of
the country and owing all makes of
cars-inviting them ''to pool their
practical experience with the tech
meal skill of General Motors engine
ers."
Last year the booklet bore the
title Proving Ground Of Public
Opinion"-thi year, at the sugges-
ton of many owners, the title has
been changed to read "Your Car as
You Would Build It."
The new QUESTIONABLE covers 66
features of motor car construction
and as stated in the Introductory
note, 'it Is designed to appeal to
those who usually ignore question
naires-easy to read, and no writ
ing necessary unless you should feel
the urge. AS a matter of fact, the
answers can be checked of with less
effort than it takes to work Cross

On the back cover is shown
series of silhouettes depicting the
evolution of the motor car from the
beginning of the industry down to
the present time, and pointing out
that:

Enrolment in summer schools of

Enrolment in summer schools of
higher learning has increased near
ly four times in less than two dec
AIDES. In 1915 there were only 49,
234 students enrolled in such
schools. The peak enrolment was
reached in 1882, when 414,990 per-
sons took some sort of college work,
but it is estimated that there was a
decrease of about $4,000 in 1888.
This was due to inability of pupils to
pay their way, as summer schools
are for the most part self-sustaining
and the students pay full costs.

BONDS FOR RELIEF AND CON-
sTRUCTION

The State Of Maryland has asked
for bids on 100000 relief bonds
and $350,000 construction bonds.
Bids on both issues are to be re-
ceived and opened at the Treasurer's
Office at Annapolis at noon August z.
1t is expected they will be sold at q
premium, as have all of the States
recent bond issues.
The relief bonds are the last OF o
$12,OOO,O0O issue authorized by the
1888 Legislature for unemployment
relief in Baltimore City. The money
that has and is to be spent with the
receipts from this issue of bonds Is
the basis of Maryland's allotment
from the Federal Emergency Relief
Administration, which in most in
stances demands that the States
match every dollar the Federal Gov
eminent allots them for relief.
A total of $15O,O00 of the $780,
900 construction bonds to be sold
will go to the University of Mary
land. The bonds are the last of a
$2.523,0O0 issue authorized in 1888
for State construction and for fund
ing the teachers retirement accrued
liability fund.
The University's share Of the issue
will consist Of $4,000 to pay def
cit ON the land bought for the field
house, and 100000 toward the con-
struction of an arts and science
building, which is already under
way.
New buildings and equipment at
the Spring Grove State Hospital will
be allotted 1000 from the sale of
the bonds, and construction and
equipment of the buildings and
power plant at the State penal farm
will account for the other 500, 900.

COOPERATIVE FARM MOVE
MENT

The farm cooperative movement
represents an effort to apply simple
horse-sense to the problems of agri-
culture.
Everyone buys as cheaply as he
can, and the small seller confronted
by the big buyer is in an unhappy
farmer, attempting to dispose of his
products to great distributing or
ganization, had to take what was
offered or go without sale. The
cooperative, handling the products
of tens of thousands of individual
producers, can bargain with the
buyer on equal terms.
We live in a world in which new
methods are supplanting old meth
DDS in all occupations. Individual
farmers, without collective informa-
ton as to markets or price struc-
lures, will overproduce all manner
of ommodities-with the inevitable
result, low prices. The coopera-
tive is doing an essential work in at
tempting to bring production and
consumption into closer relation
ship.
The main reason the cooperatives
are gaining new members and new
support from the general public, is
that practical, sensible consideration
dictate their activities.

HOT WEATHER SUGGESTIONS

Babies need special care during
the hot muggy days of midsummer
to protect them from the digestive
diseases that are prevalent at this
season. Some precautions that
should be taken to safeguard them
against summer complaint and sim
liar diseases are outlined by DR.. J.
Fl. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene, of the State De-
partment of Health, as follows:
ITO keep your baby we'll, keep in
touch with your doctor. Take your
baby to him regularly. At the first
sign of any digestive disturbance get
your doctors advice-and do as he
says.
Babies who are nursed by their
from serious digestive disturbances
than are the bottle fed babies. The
best substitute for mothers milk is
clean, cows milk diluted with water
according to your doctors direc
tions. If cows milk is not avail
able, use sweetened evaporated milk.
An equal quantity of water added to
the evaported milk will produce
mixture equal to the fresh milk
"All cows milk used for the baby
should be boiled for two or three
minutes before preparing the feed
ings. After boiling, the milk should
be cooled as rapidly as possible,
placed in individual bottles and kept
in the ice or in cool place. Each
feeding should be warmed, as need
ed. Milk given to the older child
rem should also be boiled then cooled
and kept cool and covered until
used.
"Some of the most serious sick
nosses among babies can be traced
to carelessness in handling the milk,
and to failure to keep the feeding
bottles properly cleaned. Don't let
the bottles lie around after using.
The baby will take all he wants in
twenty minutes feeding. Throw out
any milk left in the bottle. Clean
the bottle thoroughly and sterilize 1t
by boiling, before using it again.
LET at least three hours pass be-
tween feedings-four hours are pre-
ferable, unless your doctor orders
otherwise. Between feelings give
the baby cooled, boiled water to
drink.
"Be very particular about protect
ing the baby against flies. They are
very real source of danger. Keep
them away from the baby, from his
food, and from anything connected
with the baby. Flies carry disease
producing germs from all sorts of
places and car y them to the baby
% its fcod--and deposit them on ar
ticles that come in contact with the
baby. Keep the flies out of the
house by screening the kitchen and
other rooms. Throw light mosquito
netting over the baby's carriage
when he sleeps out of doors.
Keep the baby away from people
who are i'll. Don't let him come in
contact with people who are suffer
ing from diarrheal troubles, or colds.
Call your doctor, at the first in
dication of sickness"

is being financed by Mrs. Amory.
Lists Wanted Specimens.
In an interview before sailing. Mr.
Vanderbilt listed the specimens that
are the goal of the expedition. The

hope-for prize. l don't think mu-
scum in the country has a specimen.
This animal, when full grown, is only
5l2 feet high and Baron Won Blixen
is sure he can take us where we can
point our guns at. several. We are
under orders to bring back a whole
family group in each case and fig
ure the least it will take us is six
months"
Other specimens sought are:
Bongo, a giant antelope. the size of
COW, distinguished for its beautiful
markings.
Okapi, described by Mr.. Vanderbilt
as half giraffe and half antelope In
appearance. The young explorer added
