Ordinarily the state theaterS ana

Forthwith he appointed Leo Blech,

When Wilhelm Furtwaengler re-
signed III a huff ar first kapellmels-
ter, Goering imported Clemens

bother reichsfuehrer Hltler,s right

There are limits TO Goerlng's pow

him the worlds greatest baton

Goering took the list to Adolf Hit

Throw him out, roared the iras-

cowed when the fuehrer flies into a

Still Goering hopes some day to
get furtwaengler back into the fold.
Although Alexander KipniS. a star

BANKS PLAN ADVERTISING

Substantial funds have been set aside
from reserves of the American Bankers
Association to finance the development
by it's Advertising Department OF SER
vice of informative newspaper adver-
tisements setting forth in brief, popular
language the methods and policies
under which banks operate, their eff
fective practices for protecting their
depositors' funds, the services they
render and the various ways in which
they cooperate with business in their
own communities in fostering sound re-
covery and progress.
Some $50 banks are now using this
material and it is available at mod
crate price for all OF the members in
the association who care to use it in
bringing about better public under
standing in their own communities re-
garding banking and its services 1t has
materially stimulated the use of news
paper advertising among banks.
Many favorable comments have been
expressed regarding the informative
and constructive character of it's mes
sages. 1t is issued in two sizes: the
larger size is columns wide by 10
inches deep, but in some instances sub
scribing banks have expanded this to
occupy full pages in their local papers
in order to obtain a more emphatic
effect. Four pieces of advertising copy
are supplied each month in this service.

WAR VETERANS WILL RECEIVE
$3.50, OOO,O 900 THIS YEAR

Veterans administration officials
alculate that the Government is
pending in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 100000 this year on war ve.-
rams and their dependents, compar-
ID with an outlay of $5S1,9SS, 200
he first year after passage of the
1888 Economy Act.
Many savings made under the
Economy Act have been wiped out by
Congress and executive orders,
-hough one of more than 10000
100 annually was shown to be intact.
t is the result of denying compen-
alton to World War veterans who
lave n-service-connected disabili-
les, but are entirely incapacitated by
hem.
Questions as to whether the next
congress would be asked to restore
his class of benefits, American
legion officials expressed doubt thai
heir national convention in St. Louis
his week would make such a request.
They predicted the convention would
oncentrate on recommendation for
immediate payment of the bonus and
for the care of veterans widows and
orphans.

PEDEsTRIANISM Is NO JOKE

The National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters points out
that of the $4,000 fatalities resulting
from automobile accidents last year,
10000 were pedestrians.
Two elements of this situation are
important One is the statistical
truth that by far the greater num-
Der of pedestrians involved in acct
dents are doing things which they
should not do. The other is that a
pedestrian may be in the right, but
that doesn't reduce the disadvantage
at which he will always be until
collision-proof armor is invented.
The premise of many jokes, that
the pedestrian is prosecuted animal,
does not hold water. The pedestrian
is safe from any automobile if he
observes a few commands:
1. Cross only at intersections. 2.
Cross with the traffic signal whenever
there is one. 3. Keep children off
the street. 4. On rural highways
walk to the left facing oncoming
traffic. 5. Avoid walking from be-
hind parked cars. 6. Look!

THE sPoILs SYSTEM

Congress prefers the spoils system
to the merit system because the folks
back home who believe in efficient
government don't write in, while
those who want federal jobs do.
That, in so many words, was the
story Harry B. Mitchell, president OF
the United States Civil Service Com
mission, .old the National Fedora
ion of Federal Employees at their
recent annual convention at Yellow
tone National Park.
Congress smothered every bill in
reduced at the last session designed
TO extend the merit system. True,
jome of the new agencies have been
recently brought under the operation
If the Civil Service law, but this was
,hiefy due to executive fiat. Practi-
ally all laws creating the alphabet
al agencies of the New Deal have
.arried positive congressional in
unctions that appointments under
hem shall not be subject to Civil
Service.
Why?-because appointments UNI
Ter Civil Service interfere with the
polls system.
This was the essence of the story
presented by Mr. Mitchell to the con-
IGNITION of federal workers, though
lie spoke in far less emphatic a
fashion and never mentioned the
spoils system in his suave address
Between the lines of his comment
however, the facts which have caused
, revival of popular interest in the
'ampaign to push the merit system
we're discernible.

BANKERS SUPPORT ACTIVE

The Agricultural Commission OF the
American Bankers Association is pro-
noting widely among bankers the prac-
tice of aiding their farm customers in

the state bankers associations along
similar lines.
The commission has published

helpful material published over Pc
riod of years as a reference guide in
the daily routine of banking and farm
ing relationships 1t has also published

BACKS FARM-TO-MARKET ROAD
PROJECT

Backing the Farm-to -Market Road
project of $3,S66,634 and urging it's
adoption, c. E. Wise, Jr. of the Mary
land Farm Bureau Federation today
praised Mr.. Dryden for his approval
of the plans and urged Governor Nice
to back these projects. He asserted
that this in no way endangered the
state road program but was an en-
t.rely separate project.
Certain specific funds have been
set aside by the act appropriating the
1900, 100000 for use on highways,
lads, bridges, streets and grade
cossing elimination. These projects
Ave been carefully selected in Mary
j. nd and the funds allotted The
Farm-to-Market road project will be
nanced from funds other than those
already set aside and Maryland will

GG,634 is spent in the state on her
ec,ected side roads.
The type of road planned costs
nom $4,000 to $4,000 per mile and
ends itself to the relief program as
Il or better than other suggested
10. eots. A large proportion of the
Nonoy spent will go for labor, the
lans are easily made and readily
n, ed out thereby providing a
means of quick action for unemploy-
msnt relief.
There is pressing need for better
F'arm-to-Market roads in Maryland
and care has been exercised in the Sc
-ct,on of the roads to be improved
and practically all are mail or school
bus routes. The construction of
these roads will help hundreds of
Maryland farm people TO secure a
ycgr round road, consequently this
program will be beneficial to and
welcomed by the people in every
county in the state.
