NEED FOR SECURITY IN AGE
INCREASES

While longevity has been going up,
job opportunities for the aged have
been going down. This, in brief, is
the reason why sentiment for old
age pensions in the. United States
has risen over the last 20 years to
climax in the present. congressional
discussions of economic security.
In 1900, the 100000 odd per-
sons over IS years of age constituted
Al per cent of the total population
of the United States, and approx
mately 80 per cent of them had jobs.
In 1880, after three decades of de-
velopment of machine civilization,
there were, according to census
figures, more than 100000 persons
over IS in the United States, consti-
tuting 5.4 per cent of the population,
but-only about so per cent of them,
instead of 81, were gainfully en-
ployed. And the extent of loss Of
jobs by men even much younger than
65 since 1880 is common knowledge!
Or to pu: it another way, there
are 100000 more peple over the
age of 65 now than there were 80
years ago, but only 100000 more
of that age are at work-or were in
1880.
The number of people over IS has
considerably more than doubled
while the number of jobs for them is
considerably less than double.
This situation has given impetus
to the demand for old-age pensions
or insurance.
The original and fundamental ar
guments for old age pensions, of
course, were and are humanitarian.
Appeals to common sympathy, plus
the declarations that those now old
have helped make America what it
is, have carried the movement much
of it's way
Against old-age pensions the chief
consideration seems to be cost.
Some also question whether this
paternalism will not lead TO an in
crease of Incidence and Indulgence.
With the nation heading toward an
unprecedented but officially antici-
pated public debt of $4,000, 100000
any substantial appropriation for
pensions look ominous to conserva-
tives, although they admit the aged
and destitute must be taken care of.

TYDINGS' FUTURE

There is much speculation as to
the future of Senator Tydings. He
is receiving much criticism for his
disposition to wobble and the Mary
land supporters of President Roose-
welt are roasting him severely. On
the other hand the survivors of the
Richie forces score him for objecting
to denomination of the four-times
Governor even though the record
now shows that Tydings was accurate
in sensing party disaster in a fight
for q fifth term at Annapolis.
True it is that the Tydings term
will not be up for three more years
and tina. the next Governor and the
next United States Senator will be
chosen on the same day. Some ex-
press the belief that Richie will
seek to come back to successful po-
litical life through the United States
Senate. In case the Ex-Governor de-
cides to challenge Tydings there
should be q fine fight-in the event
that the Senator accepts the chal-

POSITIVE WARNING ADVOCATED

Positive warming" of the approach
of trains is advocated by the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland
as a means of preventing railroad
grade crossing accidents.
ct is not enough" said Albert E.
Buckley, Manager of the Club, ito
post signs telling of the presence of
a railroad track. What is needed is
a definite, positive warning that a
train is approaching on that track.
This is true specially in localities
where the view of the railroad is OBJ
structed."
The Club is undertaking a cam
paign for more adequate protection
for motorists at railroad grade cross
ings as a result of the killing of four
teen high school students at Rock
vile, Md, April II. 1t was deter
mined in that instance that no warn
ing was given of the approach of a
fast train, except the ringing of a
bell, which the school bus driver and
other survivors said they did not
hear.
Although we have no desire to
minimize the responsibility of mo-
florists to look to their own safety"
continued The Club Manager, 1--WE are
of the opinion that many grade cross
ings in this State are lacking in es-
sentiai safeguards. Standard signs
and markings warning of grade
crossings are, OF course, valuable,
but they cannot compare in effective
ness with the flashing signal, with its
positive warning of impending dan
ger.
Where watchmen are not on duty
continuously, and where the view of
the tracks is obscured, the train
actuated flashing signal is the answer
TO the grade crossing problem.
Some grade crossings will be
eliminated this year with the mil
lions made available by the Federal
gvernment, but many will remain for
years to come. Those which cannot
be eliminated should be effectively
protected.

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

The fifteenth annual American
Education Week will be observed
November 11-17, 1895. This annual
celebration is sponsored by the Ma
tional Education Association, the U.
S. Office of Education, and the
American Legion. 1t is now one of
our most widely observed national
events. Last year forty governors
issued American Education Week
ordinations, calling upon citizens to
visit the schools and take part in the
exercises expressive of "the States
duty to the School and the Schools
obligation to advance the high pur-
poses of the State" Upwards of
six million adul. citizens took part
in this special annual occasion in
1884. Approximately 1000 COM
munities were active in it's observ-
ance.
The sponsors of the celebration
urge early planning. 1t is important
that a General American Education
Week Committee be appointed before
school closes and that the plan of
observance include the participation
of all teachers, pupils, and citizens.

WHEN SPRING is IN THE AIR

This is the time of year when that
seasonal disease, spring fever'
runs its course. One of its more
manifestations is an urge to clean up
ones property, in order to get rid OF
winters accumulation of rubbish,
both indoors and out.
These individual clean up cam
paigns are usually inaugurated for
the purpose of improving homes
physical appearance-but, whether
the property-owner realizes it or not,
they likewise contribute toward fat
tening his pocketbook, inasmuch as
they eliminate many ordinary ana
unnecessary fire hazards.
The attic is one of the places in
the home where odds and ends &C
cumulate-and it is also one of the
commonest starting places for resi-
Dental fires. That accumulation OF
ancient newspapers, those dog-eared
magazines, those old clothes which
you'll never wear again, that broken
down furniture, all offer an invita-
ton to fire. Start your cleanup
campaign by giving these cas.-offs to
the needy, either directly or through
some local charitable organization,
where they can give comfort and use
again. Then burn the sheer rubbish
and be sure to accomplish that lat
ter task on a MINDLESS day, with the
aid of an incinerator.
Closets should be subjected to the
same process. And the chances are
that your basement is in about the
same state of disorder as your attic.
Due to the nearness of the heating
plant, Easements are one of the most
prolific sources of fire and. should be
kept free of papers, rags and i'm
properly stored inf1ammables.
Spring is likewise an excellent
time for having the furnace and
heating equipment gone over, to
prepare it for fall. Another worth
while job is inspection of electric
wiring-old, defective and sub-stand-
ard wiring starts many fire.
Spring is here! Clean up--lest
you burn up.

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE FOR AAA
VOTE IN MARYLAND

The outlook for approval of the
governments crop adjustment pro-
gram when the wheat issue comes up
for referendum in Maryland this
month, is quite favorable, according
to a statement made by c. e. Wise,
Jr., secretary of the Maryland Farm
Bureau Federation. OF the 5000
cooperators in this state, Mr.. Wise
believed the majority would vote in
favor of retaining crop adjustment
as a basic principle of farm policy.
With respec: to the corn-hog adjust
ment program, Mr.. Wise said that
nearly all the producers eligible un
der the program were signing con-
tracts again this year.
Mr.. Wise referred to the continued
attacks leveled a: the processing tax
by certain industrial interests rs a
direct attempt to prejudice public
opinion against a principle which has
long been practiced by industry bu:
by agriculture now only for the first
time. Those who are against the
processing tax, he said, are also
against crop adjustment and orderly
marketing. The processing tax, MIR.
Wise declared, is the farmers tariff,
and is economically sound. Ii has
not only paid for itself, he said, but
through its influence upon farm in
come, has been the greatest singh.
/ factor towards industrial recovery.
| Tho answer to those who objec+
that the principle of crop adjustment
does not apply in Maryland, Mr..
Wise said, was that farmers every
where are in the same boat. With
almost limi.less capacity to produce,
and with constantly improving Grams
port facilities q temporary advant-
age in one section, he said, was only
an invitation to growers in other sec
lions to join in free for all"
Farmers must not overlook, he
warned, that adjustment programs
are still in state of development.
They may only be needed temper
ariiy, he said. But with presen.
world conditions that they were the
farmers only protection against an
other surplus and a return to low
prices.

"A compandor or sound equalizer,
recent development OF the Bell Teie-
phone Laboratories, is being used
successfully in the operation OF long
wave radio telephone service between
New York and London. The word
companion is combination of COM
pressor-expandor, these being the
functional operations of the two COM
ponent parts of the apparatus.
Use of this equipment eliminates
objectional crosstalk and also static
that at certain times has interfered
with transocean service, With the
companion in operation the engineers
have found that voice transmission
was much more satisfactory in vol
ume even under conditions of greater
static interference.
Experience has shown that there
may be great variations in radio tele-
phone channels and that in certain in
stances the intensity of strong vowel
sounds will overload the amplifiers
when speech is transmitted at high
enough volumes so that weak con-
sonant sounds are above the noise
level.
To overcome this telephone engi-
neers were faced with the problem of
providing transmission facilities which
would carry not only wide enough
frequency range, but which would
also convey in unimpaired ratio both
strong and weak speech sounds. De-
yelopment of the companion was the
answer to this problem and the lab
eratories' engineers are much graft
fed with the successful operation Of
this new equipment.
Use Of transoeean- telephone service
has reached the point where more than
10000 calls were made last year. OF
this number in excess Of $4,000 were
made between telephones on both
sides of the Atlantic. Il

INSURED MORTGAGES

It is anticipated that the banks of
Maryland will allocate forty millions
OF dollars for the purpose of financ-
ing insured mortgages under the
provisions of Title II of the National
Housing Act during 1885 according
to Thomas w. Elicit, Manager of the
Federal Housing Administration for
Maryland, Virginia, District of Co.
lumbia, North and South Carolina.
Mr.. Elicit, who is the former Presi-
dent of the Federal Land Bank of
Winston Salem, N. c., called on
Henry w. Webb, Director for Mary
land of the FILA, and stated that the
Banks of Virginia who are approved
mortgages under the provisions OF
the FILA have set aside $25, 200, 600
for the purchase of insured mort
cages and the Forty Million Dollar
figures, for Maryland, is based on a
comparison OF individual deposits in
the banks of the two States.
The Forty Million Dollars which is
expected to be set aside for the pur-
chase OF insured mortgages by Banks
in Maryland, is exclusive OF the
funds which are to be allocated by
the building and loan associations.
