ST RIA N G E DAL No V E M E NIT

One of the most curious tide phenomena knowno ccurs ev- cry spring in March or April at St. Lawrence Island in Der ing Sea, near Nome. An enor- nous tidal movement sends the breakers and spray to a height of from thirty to fifty feet, and lasts only day or night. The normal tide at the island is only a foot high. The huge tide is not necessarily accompanied by a storm and it's cause is un- known.
 If this annual high tide occurs at Nome, it is unnoticed owing to the great masses of shore ice along that section of the Alaska coast when it occurs.

WHAT IS A MAN WORTH?

Recent agitation against fabulous salaries or other com pensation paid to toiptnotchers in the business and amusement world have brought to light some amazing figures.
 Nearly everyone is familiar with the high values placed up- on certain athletic, movie and radio stars; also there is gen. eral knowledge that high rail- road and other industrial ex- ecutives have been receiving enormous salaries.
 One outstanding example of extravagant remuneration for personal services is that re- ceived by George w. Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company. According to the official reports furnished to stockholders of that com- pany MT. Hill has received sal aries and bonuses as follows
 In addition to a salary of $160,000 a year he received a bonus of $447,87O in 1929, $842,5O8 in 1880, $891,570 in in 1881. In 1882 his salary was cut to $120,0OO, but in addition he received a bonus of $669,500 or a total of $789,- 500 for the year.
 These large bonuses, it is understood, have been based upon the net earnings of the company, supposedly due to MT. Hills ability as a manager. And there is no doubt that he has been and is today one of the most efficient and success full executives in the world. In spite of the depression, his company has continued to make enormous profits. And during the four years since the business slump he has received between $600,000 and$1, 1,000.- 900 a year for his services.
 The question arises as to whether he or any other man is entitled to receive that much money for managing any busi- ness, however large it may be. In other words, how much can the services of any man possib- ly be worth? A hard question to answer.

LAV|N|A ENGLE
RESIGNS POST
IN COUNTY

Miss Lavinia Engle, of Forest
Glen, recently named to the post
of Montgomery County comr is
sioner for the Silver Spring area,
is resigning, she announced today.
Her reasons for resigning are in
cluded in a statement issued last
night to newspapers, and also sent
to political heads of the county.
Davis Considered
It is reported that the Demo-
cratic state Control Committee
for the county is considering for
mer Mayor Ben G. Davis of
Takoma Park for the office, to fill
out the uneXpired term of Lacy
Shaw, who resigned two weeks ago
to become park commissioner
under the Maryland-National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commis-
sion.
Dav:- had been considered pre-
viouSly, undel the commissioner
ship of Miss Engle, for the office
of chief clerk of the Silver Spring
district.
Miss Engle may run in the next
election on "vindication" plat
form following an attack directed
at her for accepting the appoint
ment by John E. OXley, Rockville
lawyer.
Oxley contended that Miss Epgle
was ineligible since she was a
member of the legislature when
an act was passed increasing Sala-
ries of commissioners from $1,000
to $1,000, and filed oust 4r proceed
ingS against her. Following filing
of the proceedings, Miss Engle an
nounced that she was leaving the
legal question TO her counsel as
to what action to take.
Politics Blamed
Miss Engle charged that CXley's
attack was a personal and k0liti-
cal one, directed against hsr as
an individual and as woman
office holder. Miss Engle was the
first woman named to the board
Of county commissioners. Her
resignation will take effect imme-
diately, it is understood, and the
State central committee will send
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie it's sugges-
ton of Davis as her successor.

CITIZENS FIGHT
NEW SCHOOL

Members of the Community AS
sociation Of Section 3, Chevy
Chase, have entered a formal
protest with the Montgomery
County Commissioners against
establishment Of a privat> school
at Bradley Lane and Connecti-
cut Avenue.
The petition, which points out
that deeds to property in that
section contain a clause prohibi-
iting the use of any property for
business purposes, was presented
to the Board Of Commissioners
several days ago, but no action
has been taken on it as yet.
DR.. Lewis Elhuff, of Harrisburg,
Pa, has made application to
establish a private school on the
old Britton estate. Members. of
the community, however, contend
that such a venture would be
purely commercial, and say that
similar requests to use the tract
for business purposes in the past
have been denied by the COM
miSsionerS, and should be again,

BAN ON PARKING
Chevy Chase Asks That
Experiment Be Tested
Thoroughly.

The Chevy Chase Citizens Asso-
citation, meeting last night in E. v.
Brown School, adopted a resolution
urging that the trial of no-parking
restriction on F, G and Seventh
streets be continued as long as neces-
sary to show whether there will be
i'll effects on the business of mer-
chants on the streets.
1t was pointed out that while no
one wishes to see the businesses lose
revenue because Of the ban, similar
restrictions in the central business
sections of other cities have not had
that effect, but on the contrary have
been a boon. The secretary was
ordered to send copy of the reso-
luton to Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen.
DR.. David Lumsden, horticulturist
of the Plant Quarantine Division of
the Department of Agriculture, as
guest speaker, spoke on the effect Of
the hard Winter on plants. DR.. Lums-
den advised short pruning of privet
hedge and certain other plants, so
that the live roots will not have to
bear the burden of the stock killed by
the severe weather. DR.. Lumsden was

Into Florida.

Down in Florida, nature Is paying
unique tribute to the memory of a
war hero who, crippled by service
voted the last years of his life to the
introduction of new plants in that
balmy Southern climate.
In and around Miami there are
verdant arbors of the ancient gourd-
like vegetable. chayote, which owe
their existence to the expert and
loving care of the late Lieut. Col.
James A. Prentice, U. S. A., retired,
who died recently at Walter Reed
Hospital.
At paLocka, Fla, is an expert

plants from far-f1ung parts of the

Great Interest in Plants.
OF Col. Prentice and his work, DR..
David Fairchild, veteran agricultural
explorer of the Department of Agri-
culture, has this to say:
Most men of his age who had
been crippled as he was simply lie
down and die, or become chronic in
valids-but he had an interest in
plants that was irrepressible"
DR.. Fairchild related how he in
vited Col Prentice to take the Fair
child house in Cocoanut Grove, Fla,
for the Summer after the ailing Army
officer had shown keen interest in
propagation of bamboos. The first
Summer Col Prentice nearly sue

fall, but the climate proved a tonic
and before long he was stirring up
interest of others in the plants he
was studying.
The chayote-pronounce chi-o-ta,
with long !, o and a and accent on
the second syllable-dates back to
Aztec days, when its squash-like
pear-shaped fruit Is believed to have
been great delicacy at Aztec feasts.
The name is of Aztec origin and
means spine squash" The

chayote and its oyster like flavor in
