STATES ASSUME CONTROL OF
HIGHER PRIVATE EDUCATION

Greater supervision over privately
controlled colleges and universities
is being assumed by the various
states of the Union. Approximately
half of the state laws enacted require
such institutions to meet certain edu-
cational standards before they are
granted charters of Incorporation.
In ten states higher educational in
situations are not permitted to obtain
charter unless the state board of
education, the state superintendent
of public instruction, or similar edu-
cational agency, specifically approves.
In number of states continual
supervision over the colleges and
universities obtains after their
charters have been granted, accord
ing to recent bulletin issued by the
Federal Office of Education. In
such a case minimum quality of
higher education, as indicated by
their course of study, number of
1
graduation requirements and similar
items, is required. Eleven states
provide by statute for an inspection
or visitation of the institutions, and
in seven states revoking of their ac-
crediting is authorized in the event
they fail to keep up the prescribed
standards of instruction.
Among the twenty states which
have passed laws placing restriction
on the right of privately controlled
colleges and universities to grant de-
grees are Michigan, Nebraska, New
York and Pennsylvania. These laws
are rigid in their requirements.
Three states, Maine, Connecticut and
Massachusetts, require institutions of
higher learning under private control
to obtain authority from state legis-
| latures before they are allowed to
confer degrees. Ten states prescribe
penalties including Jail sentences and
fines for the illegal or fraudulent
granting of degrees
In twenty states of the Union no
colleges or universities are permitted
to confer academic degrees unless
they have from 100000 to $5O0,OO0
in property, endowment or resources
as guarantee that an adequate
academic program will be furnished
to the students upon whom degrees
are conferred.-News Bureau.

AUTO CLUB URGES WIDER HIGH
WAYS

Maryland's highway difficulties are
due to the fact that between 60 and
80 per cent of motor vehicle traffic
is carried on a mileage of trunk
roads constituting only IL to Is per
cent of the State highway system,
according to engineers of the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland.
William S. Canning, Engineering
Director of the Club, who recently
announced the results of an eight
month survey of the States roads,
throws additional light on the high
way picture in. statement explain
ing his recommendations for con-
struction of more than 400 miles of
roads wider than 20 feet.
while the State has been engag-
ed in building and improving wide
spread network of highways" he
said, there has developed an amaz-
ing increase in traffic volume, both
local and interstate, on a relatively
small mileage of main trunk high
ways. 1t must be obvious that these
main roads must be widened to &C
commodate not only present but fu-
ture traffic.
I'm the first place, safety demands
it, and in the second, it will prove
good investment, because the his

WOULD MAKE MARYLAND 9TH
STATE TO HAVE INCOME
TAX LAW

Should the tax measure now being
advocated by the Maryland Farm
Bureau and the State Grange be en-
acted into law at the present session
of the Legislature, Maryland will be
the 9th state in the Union to adopt
such legislation. Wisconsin led all
other states in modern income tax
legislation, passing such a law in
1911
From the summarized report COW
ering a recent study made of the
Maryland tax field at the instance of
the two farm organizations, the
prospective annual yield from state
income tax in Maryland is estimated
at from $1,287,727 to $4,351,822,
depending on the rates imposed and
whether dividends from corporations
are included.
In arriving at reasonable bases of
comparison, the prevailing income
tax rates in the three neighboring
states of Delaware, Virginia and
North Carolina were used Della
wares tax rate being one per cent on
the first $4,000 of income; Two per
cent on the next $1,000, and three
per cent on incomes in excess of
$4,000. The yield from such a tax
as Governor Nice has proposed, ap-
plying half the federal rate, would
yield approximately $9,000,00O.
This proposal would affect both in
dividuals and corporations
In commenting on it's practicable
ity, the tax experts who had prepar-
ed the Grange and Farm Bureau re-
port, acknowledged that "whiie the
revenue from pet income tax is ir-
regular and falls on rather selec-
tive and small group of individuals,
these arguments do not constitute
sufficient weight to outlaw an income
tax from the Maryland tax system
Despite the fact that such tax
would not provide an adequate
source of revenue to take care of an
emergency situation, such as unem-
ployment relief, there is need for
such tax as permanent feature in
a comprehensive and equitable tax
system for Maryland"

OLD AGE PENSION BILL

A bill providing for old-age pen
sions in Maryland at an annual cost
of approximately $2,520,000, was
among a group of measures present
ed to the General Assembly last
week. It is an administration meas
ure. The bill provides that the sew
eral counties and Baltimore city
shall pay one-third of all pensions
and expenses of administration, the
various units to be reimbursed by
the State to the extent of two-thirds
of such costs. 1t also sets up de-
partment of old-age pensions and re-
lief, headed by board of five mem
bers, appointed by the Governor, and
the board to name an administra-
tor.
The measure provides pension OF
not more than 81 per day and the in
come of the pensioner would be in
cluded in the maximum, so that per-
sons with a private income of more
than $50 per month would not be
eligible.

holds examinations. The claim that
such assurance can be given brands
the person making it as fraud.
Information regarding examina-
tions for the United States Civil Ser
vice may be obtained from the
boards of United States Civil Service
Examiners. There is such a board
in each community which has post
office of the first or the second class.
In nearly all cities the civil service
board is located at the post office.
Before paying money for tuition,
or signing a contract, it is advisable
to make inquiry concerning the pros
pect of examinations. There is rea-
son to believe that agents of some
schools deceive the public as to the
probability of early examinations.
No school has advance information
regarding the need for employees or
the probability Of examinations.

COLORS IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
SELECTING CLOTHING

Color of the skin is far more i'm
portant factor to be considered in
proper selection of clothing for the
individual than is color of either the
eyes or hair, according to Miss Helen
Shelby, clothing specialist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service. Miss Shelby explains that
because there is generally such a
large area of skin showing and be-
cause the pigment of some skins is
so dominant, it is much more i'm
portant factor than is the small
amount of color found in hair and
eyes.
She points out that colors have the
power to attract or repel and for
this reason they should be studied
carefully, especially with relation to
the costume, which should always
increase the attrac:iveness of the in
dividual and never be more forceful
than the personality.
For example, it is a well-known
fact that the brighter and warmer
shades have tendency to force
themselves to the front and create
the feeling of aggressiveness. When
worn in clothing, they have tend
ency to make the wearer look
heavier and larger in size. On the
other hand, according to Miss Shell
by, the cooler and more subdued
tones have just the reverse effect and
are dignified and more formal.
Colors which reflect the dominant
personality trait Of the wearer
should be the ones seected.
Colors may have a definite effect
upon the disposition and nervous
system of the wearer, also, it is
pointed out. In this respect warm
and bright colors, such as red and
orange, are inclined to be noisy and
fatiguing, whereas the cooler shades,
such as blue and green are quiet and
restful.

ELKTON MARRIAGE RACKET

Senator Harold Cobourn has put
the Elkton marriage racket on the
spot by introducing bill in the
Maryland Legislature that would eff
fectually curb the quick marriage
business, which has been CONNER
cialized to such an extent at Ceclis
county seat, as to bring forth pretty
general condemnation except, OF
course, from The we'll organized ring
that is reaping such lucrative har-
vest from the racket. The bill will
meet with stubborn opposition from
those who are profiting by the bust
ness, and have had political influence
enough in the pas. to defeat every
effort to change the law.
Time was when Delaware marri-
age laws were lax and Wilmington
was popular get-married-quick
city, but right-thinking citizens
finally killed the racket by forcing
the passage of law requiring a resi-
dence there of three days before the
marriage ceremony could be per-
formed.
The measure sponsored by Senator
Cobourn will put the taxicab ring
and preachers without churches out
of the marriage business completely.
Billboards and similar other means
of advertising the marriage mart
would also be forbidden.
Senator Cobourn will have the
support of a majority of the people
of our county in his legislative ef-
forts to curb the commercialized
marriage business in Cecil.

To be with our God forever,
In Heaven, that beautiful home.
All sorrow and heartache will be

No more toiling time or care;
Sweet peace passing all understand

In that city so wonderous and fair.
Singing the song of redemption,
With all the redeemed up on high;
When Jesus makes up His jewels,
Far beyond the starry sky.
We know not the day, nor the hour,
The tide takes out for the sea,
Let us be faithful and watching,
When He comes for you and me.

ASKS PURCHASE OF SUBMAR
GINAL MARYLAND LAND
Planning Board Would Acquire Over
10000 Acres for Public Uses


recommendations for the pur-
chase of 10000 to 10000 acres OF
submarginal land in ten Maryland
counties, for use in forestry, game
and water conservation, erosion con-
troll, recreational and similar pro-
jects, are made public by the State
Planning Commission.
A report, released by Abel VOL
man, chairman of the commission
and State Engineer for the Public
Works Administration, at the con-
clusion of a commission meeting,
contained no estimate of the cost of
the project.
On a basis of the probable pur-
chase prices quoted, however, the
maximum costs of acquiring all the
land proposed apparently would
range between $1,OO0,000 and 3d.
600, 900, whereas the additional cost
of resettling the approximately
1900 families now living on the land,
the administrative expenses and
the funds that would be required to
carry out the proposed development
of the land acquired might double
or triple the figure.
Mr.. Wolman said, however, that
no more than three of the ten county
tracts recommended would be pur-
chased in the near future.
Without specifying exact localities,
Mr.. Wolman grouped the general
areas involved and the manner in
which they would be utilized as fol-
lows:
Eastern Shore-Reforesta and
development of small game through
planting game food crops.
Southern Maryland - Reforesta-
ton, game conservation and erosion
control.
Lower Western Shore-Recrea-
tional centers, available to Baltimore
and Washington, for picnicking,
hiking, horseback riding and nature
study; ornamental tree planting;
game conservation from the aesth-
etc, rather than the hunting, view
point; possible lake development and
fish culture.
Western Maryland-Possible de-
velopment into lone of the finest
recreational centers in the United
States" for camping, hunting, fish
ing, hiking and nature study; game
conservation, water conservation and
erosion control.
The report was based on the find
ings of a prolonged study of land
use problem in Maryland by a sub
committee of the State Planning
Commission, headed by DR.. T. B.
Symons, director of the extension
service of the University of Mary
land, with the aid Of various State
and Federal agencies.
1t was prepared with the desire
to cooperate with the Federal Gov
eminent in its program for elimina-
ton of submarginal lands from
agricultural production and their
better utilization for the people of
the State.'

The cost of old age security, based
on the records of twenty-eight states
which include two-thirds of the popu-
lation, and now have old age pen
sions, for the first year is guessed
at anywhere from fifty millions UT
and increasing annually. In 1880
actuaries estimate that unless the
expense is cut down it will exceed
billion dollars year. This is
based on payments of thirty dollars
a month to those over six.y-five who
qualify for old age pensions, and
would be increased if the monthly
payment is pushed up by Con
gressional action.
