into a mammth recreational area.
Acting Administrations w. w.
Alexander, of the Rural Resettle-
ment Administration, announced
today that $155,0oO had been set
aside for the purchase of the
land.
The purchase area, which
borders on the Frederick -Thurmont
highway, is a section of the
Catoctin hills, long ago renowned
for their iron mines, long since
abandoned. The section once was
also a lumber center. 1t is located
about 80 miles from Washington.
Play Spots Considered
Plans not yet completed, said
Mr.. Alexander, call for the crea-
ton of artificial lakes, camp sites,
weekend cabines and Fairgrounds.
No final approval of funds for
this work has yet been given, 1t

The area has become Scraggly
in recent years due to the con-
tinual cutting of firewood which
the inhabitants have used to sup

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md, Oct.
16.-A cardboard strip torn from
a large packing box has lettered
on it, in red paint:
"TO BeltsviIle Project"
Nothing extravagant about the
signs leading to this $500, 900
project. One travels over a sand
Strewn road between deep banks
from the end Of Edmonston Road,
a wide ribbon of concrete. The
road turns and winds downhill
until one sees, to the right, a
farmhouse transformed into an
office. 1t is headquarters for en-
gineerS.
The house sits on a hilltop. A
year ago it was farm home, a
clean one. There is a fireplace in
the front room, but around the
wall are placed new metal desks,
each with many locks. They are
only partly unpacked, and are cov-
cred with dust.
But No Workers
An enamel coffeepot, its sides
cracked by hard usage, stands on
the wood stove in the kitchen.
Cups are Strewn about. Paper
litters the floor. Flies cling to
the ceiling. There are bees
around the fireplace.
More metal desks, files, paper
forms, but no workers.
At last, in a rear room, are
found two craftsmen leaning over
their boards. They are wary of
questioners. The men who know
the answer to most any question
are "at the SITE" which Is a
half-mile distant. Yes, the town
will be miles from the modern
Edmonston Road.
More cardboard signs, more
turns in the road, with dust set
ting quickly on everything, and
one reaches another hilltop,
where the hum of tractors is dis
cernible and the cluck of axes
sound out as they are swung
against trees.
Its TugweIl Town
This is the beginning of the new
Tugwell Town, where 1000 houses
are to be built for low income
families. It's a long ride from
Washington. It's far off the regu.
larly travelled roads, but here
SIS, 500, 900 is to be spent on a colos-
sal mistake or a portent of the
future-a city of itself.
An automobile may be run be-
tween apple trees and down a
pasture hill so that a curious per-
son may see 1000 men clearing
away forest that rises above a
puny creek. The work goes on
swiftly. Men sing out when the
tree they have been chopping be-
gins to totter. Others scurry out
of it's path.
Eight hundred acres to be
cleared for this town, but the 80
acres now being worked on will
become lake.
An engineer sits on the hillside,
not watching the workers. He
sees the confines of the lake he is
to build. He points out the stakes
that mark the dam which he must
build with transient labor rushed
to the scene by train from Wash
ington and Baltimore, and pom
ders the size of the scarcely wet
creek.
Yes, he worries over whether
the labor will be able to do the

BY unanimous consent, the Hast

of the Interior Ickes to transmit to
the Senate the report on a p. w. A.
investigation made last year into al
legged irregularities at Howard Uni
versity was adopted by the Senate

The question of whether public

The alleged violations of P. w. A.

and involved no grounds for criminal
action, Ickes said recently. A belief
also was indicated by officials that
the expenditures we're made as the
result of misunderstanding.
Senator Hastings said he is not
planning to ask for a Senate commit

information on the subject called for
in his resolution.

Boldly terming the Federal Govern

mission today called on Attorney Gen
eral A. P. Staples to take part in
the litigation and resist efforts of the
Federal Power Commission to take
control of waters plainly non-nav-
igable"
Frank R. McNinch, chairman Of the
Federal Power Commission, said
Thursday that Attorney General
Cummings of the United States had
been asked to bring suit to compel
the Appalachian Electric Power Co.
to comply with the commissions order
to obtain a Federal license on the
company's dam project on the New
River.
McNinch said the Appalachian
company had begun construction ''in
utter disregard of the Federal water
power act and in flagrant defiance
of the findings and order of the COM
mission"
The company has contended in liti-
cation extending over several years
that the Federal commission does
not have jurisdiction over the prof.
ect in question because the New
River is a non-navigable stream.

The Treasury reported last night
that income tax returns for the first
Is days in March showed an upturn
OF 20 per cent over the comparable
half month of last year.
Eagerly awaited, on the grounds
that these first returns on 1884 in
comes would furnish an accurate
gauge on the volume of business trans
acted last year, Treasury officials were
grattf1ed to discover receipts of $751;
358 300, as compared with only Sat-
794.894 last year.
On the basis Of these preliminary
returns, income taxes of about $780,
100000 are predicted for the month,
as compared with $232, ,00O,0 900 COL
lected in March of last year. It was
said at the Treasury. however. that
these figures could not be used as
final guide, because of the delay In
getting clearances of the remitted
sums.
Delayed Reaching Treasury.
Income tax payments, regardless of
the form in which they are made. are
cleared through the Federal Reserve
Banks by collectors of the various
districts, and reach the Treasury only
after several days following payment
Thus, returns made on the deadline

their full velocity in the Treasury re-
ports until several days later.
In the meantime, however, Treasury
officials were maintaining telegraphic
communications with the various COL
lectors, who reported previous esti-
mates would unqueStionably be
reached. These estimates call for
81 ,o5l 100000 for the present fiscal
year. meaning that S535, 900 900 must
come in between now and June 80.
This would be added to S516,5 600,

statement.
Corporation Increase.
A material increase Is expected by
officials in corporation returns, due to
some changes In the law which elm
mated consolidated filing. and to the
fact that corporate gains were the
heaviest evolving from the New
Deal" This statement Is borne out by
statistics of income for 1888.
An analysis of the current returns
showing the sources Of income and

be available before next September,
when operations of the present fiscal
year will be assembled and made

CHICAGO, March 16.-The State
gave up all effort today to send the
insults to prison.
The attempt to hold Samuel and
Martin insult criminally responsible
for the investment debacle which cost
security holders untold millions has
proved fruitless, and States Attorney
Thomas j. Courtney announced his
prosecutors would move Monday to
dismiss the last State indictment re-
naming.
Samuel, at rs, is ready to plunge
back into business in an advisory ca
pacity with some industrial firm.
Finance, a close associate said today,
is ruled out.
Martin, 10 years younger, is under
stood to have accepted business offer
in Canada, whittier he must return
as an alien under terms of his extra
dition.
Takes News Unsmilingly.
Newspaper men greeted the elder
insult with the news as he returned
to his Gold Coast Hotel suite this
afternoon, but it brought no smile
from the erstwhile tycoon Of American
utility companies.
"I haven't been officially informed
Of the action" he said gruffly.
Green Silent ON Course.
United States Attorney Dwight H
Green, with whom the decision rests,
was not prepared tonight to say
whether he would follow the States
example in dropping prosecution
The cae has been regarded as the
weaker against insult from the start
From a source close to Samuel In
sull it was learned today that he has
finished his memoirs, but no publisher
has been found.

have asked the elder insult for his
services and he hopes to take a posi-

would make use of his half-century

1t was toward the end of this period
that the Sunday School Union books
for children we're most in evidence.
They we're published for Sunday school
libraries-about the only Libraries Of
the time-With the combined censor
ship of several leading Protestant de-
nominations. They formed literally
the only reading for millions who be-
came the fathers and mothers of the
next generation and a peruSal Of them
goes a long way toward explaining
some of the prudery as well as the
higher qualities of the so-called Vic
torianism" in America.
With the opening up Of the West,
the expansion of cities and the begin
ming of industries mems minds shifted
quickly from heavenly to worldly ends
and the fundamental motif Of chill
dren's books changed also. There
starts what Mr. Parma calls the
Ragged Dick" era, where the heroic
youth rises from lowly estate to wealth
and power. The hero's goal is no
longer Heaven-at least by the short
est route. He wants to take his time
getting there and detour through the
office of the railroad president or the
newspaper publisher.
Power and Wealth Stressed.
Life is reduced to a simple formula
The fundamental virtues plus time
equal power and wealth. This was the
formula upon which two or three gen.
erations of Americans were raised and
in the American setting at least, was
almost true. 1t was the formula IN
stilled by the juvenile books which the
boy and girl took into manhood and
womanhood. In those cases where il
wasn't true, by the time the victims
woke to the realization it was too late
to do anything about it and they had
become so woven into the fabric OF
society that few of them had any in
clination to kick over the traces. OF
course, this formula left the way open
for lot of hypocrisy and rationaliza-
tion-but it served its purpose.
Still later came the pure adventure
story, which holds attention by its own
intrinsic interest and offers no for
mula for conduct at all. This phase
of juvenile literature has continued to
the present.
From these three phases Of juvenile
literature, now being saved from OBJ
nvion by Mr.. Parma, the reader can
perhaps CLEAN better understanding
of the motivation of American be-
havior than from all the history text
books.
