THE TIME is NOW RIPE
IAN EdStoriuJ)

Montgomery County has several unsolved crimes
fronting its law enforcement officers Two three
of sufficient magnitude to call for serious study and
reflection. Located the outskirts of large
city with great reputation for cubng criminal activities,
behoove the people to stir up sentiment for
of dealing with the situation
One of the Commissioners for the District of Columbia
reciprocal agreement between the Maryland Vr
gnia and Washington authorities whereby the pursuit of
criminals might be expedited theoretically and practically
the plan it's limitations The District of Columbia pol
ice being criticised by residents of Washington for
its nefficiency Surely Washington police would be
any more efficient in running down crime in Montgomery
County.
What we need in this county is adequate detective
force There should be at least dozen trained officers
devoting their time the solution of those crimes which
battle the ordinary policeman We have nucleus for this
detective bureau. These might be assigned to the
office of the States Attorney they might work directly
under the Chief of Poce) but their duties would be clearly
stated and their responsibilities amply defined
There is no hope that Washington police will be able
to curb crime within the envrons of the District of Column
bia and at the time to that undesirable citizens
are driven from territory which reaches out into Mont
Domery County The natural trend is for the criminal
escape from Washington in other directions than Mont
romery County But the rule is not infalible.
Unless fully protected in suburban sections
we may eventually reputation of being "easy
mark" The Court and the States Attorneys office as
well as the police force determined to eradicate serious
crime from the county AS stated before have several
unsoved murders which far have baffed the author
ties Many people believe that detective force comprised
of planclothesen would help to solve the problem Ger
tainy we cannot permit Montgomery County to become
a community approxmating notorious surrounding
other cities Yet there is that danger Particularly
when gangster reported to be focng to the National
CAPITAL on the theory that Washington provides soft
spot" for those Gin the know"

cry County on July 18th. The milk
regulations specify four grades of
raw milk and cream in addition to
Certified, Grade A being the highest

Grades A, B and c of pasteurized

The majority of diaries have made
many improvements in the past few
months. A few however will have to
pass to lower grade; in some cases
from poor sanitation in others from
high bacterial counts.

Home Brew Maker Is
Monkeying With Law

It is against the Federal Law
to manufacture home brew, even
though it is meant only for pri-
vate consumption. The making Of
home brew or beer, avoids the tax
provided for distillers and brew
cries, Federal authorities explain.
Wine and cider may be made
for home use without a CULVER Of
the Federal eyelid. But when II
comes to beer, that's another
question. 1t is easily explained.
The farmer uses his own products
for the manufacture Of wine and
cider. When he makes beer he
uses taxable ingredients which
cannot be grown by him. He can
make beer If he takes out a
license and pays the proper rev.
enue. Even then he cannot sell
his product without obtaining the
proper license.

Maryland Gains
100000 AS Tax
Ruling Is Made
Gross Receipts Levy Increases:
Court Holds Law Consti-
tutiOnaI

Revenue from the per cent gross
receipts tax in Maryland will be-
increased about 100000, it is esti-
mated, since the Court of Appeals
has held that the tax must be paid
on payments made on credit sales in
the month when paid, regardless Of
whether it was the month Of sale.
Daniel L. Clayland, Sd, director Of
the Gross Receipt Tax Division Of
the CONTROLLERS office, pointed out
that many taxpayers had worked ON
the theory that such sales were not
taxable. They now will be assessed
for the deduction.
Clayland estimated that the counts
construction will mean about $4,000
to the State on credit sales ON the
April and May taxes, and the total
for the year run will be approx
mately 5000, 900.
The collection of emergency rev.
enue for June already has exceeded
the 1921 ,666y67 required for relief
purposes. With about 5000 more
returns to tabulate, a total of 1892
returns has brought in $275, oS2.S6
in l per cent gross receipt taxes
for the month. This, with the $4O,-
424.2S received in June from the /
per cent automobile titling tax, brings
the the total June taxes received to
$315y 458.5S.
The automobile titling tax collected
50 far this month makes another
SIS, 399.49 available.
The tax division stands to lose
about 5000 under the appellate
courts ruling prohibiting the collec-
ton of the tax for sales made prior
to April / last, when the law became
effective. Amounts paid on this type
Of business will be refunded or cred
tied to other tax payments by the
merchant involved.

Commissioners Are
Again Asked For
Cemetery Grant
Aspen L location Previously
Fr0wned Upon; Bond 81
Revenue Banked

The Montgomery County Commits
sioners were asked Tuesday to recon-
slider the petition for cemetery at
Aspen, previously refused by the out
going board.
The petition for reconsideration
was filed with the commissioners by
Attorney Robert B. Peter, Jr., and
Kenneth Lyddane. The commissioners
said they would refer the matter to
Edward Peter, counsel to the board
before taking any definite action.
The original petition for a GEM
etery on a 200-acre tract at Aspen
met considerable opposition from
residents of the community, who
charged it would ruin their property
values even if the cemetery company
carried out its announced plan of
screening the cemetery with shrub
berry and other landscaping features.
The $685. 900 realized from sale of
refunding bonds to the John Nuveen
& Co., of Chicago, was placed to the
credit of the county in the various
banks holding maturing bonds Tues
day.

Izaak WaltOniteS
Ready To Launch
Conservation Move
Rockville Chapter To Conduct
Educational Campaign To
Restore Wild Life

The Rockville Chapter of the
Izaak Walton League is marshalling
its forces now for the express pur-
nose of conducting an Educational
Campaign in the interests of conser-
yation which will be launched next
September.
DIR. E. Russell Cook, of Bethesda,
is chairman of this Campaign. He
will be assisted by James r. Berrier,
J. Dunbar Stone, Joseph Fisher, T.
W. Owen Knight, J. B. Van Hoesen,
Reuben Riggs, George H. Darby and
Robert Hughes.
"This movement is to restore and
re-habilitate what is apparently a
losing cause.-the future protection
and propagation of what is left Of
our wild-life-the remnants of yes
terday. Wild-hfe, together with those
inter-dependent factors, such as the
forests and streams have been in
dicted by race with no thought of
the morrow. It is high time that
our species of the wild our streams
and forests be represented by coun-
sci, and that counsel can be none
other than the good public-spirited
citizens of our State with a far
reaching vision OF the true state of
our waters, woodlands and wild-life,"
DR.. Cook points out.
"The tragic end of the heath-hen
in Martha's Vineyard and the pass
ing of the passenger pigeon are only
indictments against mans lack of
foresight and concerted action. Dust
storms in the West; floods from our
great tributaries of the Mississippi
Valley, with its baclllash of soil
erosion did not even dawn upon
those long since dead; also little did
they realize that timber and other
forms of vegetation would act as a
potential reservoir for water, thereby
minimizing the devastating effects of
drought and floods. We are being
penalized for the deeds of yesterday
we must salvage what is left; we
simply can not mark time, but mast
carry on"
"The chief aim of the campaign
is to educate, train, condition and
with view of injecting the neces-
sary interest among the public school
students, farmers, All Clubs, Boy
Scouts, nature lovers and sportsmen
and all those other folks who desire
to save the remnants of the fast
diminishing species. ALI the above
groups are inter-related in fostering
a cause cf this kind.
"The Boy Scouts will be taught to
build shelters for both song and game
birds and assist in the feeding ot
game during the heavy SHOWS; their
influence in this movement will be
guiding hand in the generations to
follow. Be it remembered that the
Boy Scouts of today are the men Of
tomorrow; their early training in
the principles of fair play and true
craftsmanship will have a great
bearing on the behavior of the few
who may desire to exploit the results
of reconstruction for personal and
selfish purposes.
"The students of the public schoo
system being conditioned in theil
