THE Sox sank out of second place

The Detroits expressed the trend of
the day for the league, as pitchers
came at a dime a dozen against slug

st. Louis Browns blasted the Indians,
1912, in the first game of a double
header and deadlocked the almost as
wild-hitting night cap. SIS. called in

80 hits, for twin-bill win, 1875 and
14-4.

FUNDS GIVEN FOR SURVEY
OF PROPOSED DAM SITE
WPA AlIOcates $4,000 For Test
Behring'S, ETC., On Savage River

Army engineers have announced
that actual work on surveying and
making test borings for the proposed
100000 Savage river dam in this
county might be started within thirty
days.
The Works Progress Administra-
ton announced approval of the sur
vey project which is estimated to re-
quire ninety days and cost between
$4,000 and 100000. The WPA has
allocated $4,000 for the work and the
fund will be turned over to armyengi-
neers after formal issuance of a war
rant by the Comptroller's Office.
Lieut.. w. J. Madison, assistant Fed
eral engineer from the Washington
district, said some study would have
to be made of the type of relief labor
available for engineering work at the
project and probably twenty or thir-
ty men would be needed to make the
survey and borings.
The Upper Potomac River Commits
sion applied for the ALLEGATION and
Allegany county is to supply twenty
percent of the cost of the survey. 1t
is asserted the building of the dam
would assure uniform flow of water
in the Potomac River all year and
permit considerable industrial expan-
sion at Cumberland, Piedmont, Ridge
ley, Westernport and Luke.
Advocates of the dam estimate 400
men would be employed in its con-
struction which would require 10
months or two years. In memoran-
dunn supplied the President the group
said the Federal relief bill for Gar
rett and Allegany counties had been
between 100000 and 100000 annu-
ally and the relief expense for two
years would pay for the cost of the
dam. They also said the proposed
site was in "an economically stricken
coalmining district" and would pro-
vide much employment in addition to
expanding industrial operations by
private concerns.

Fraley, both of Oakland, were notified
Yesterday that they had been named
as members of an advisory committee
to carry out program recently
adopted by Governor Nice in regard to
enforced. idleness of those confined in

on-made goods in interstate commerce
has become effective approximately
1900 of the 5000 inmates in penal in
situations in Maryland are idle. Gov
ernor Nice appointed Maryland Com
mission on Prison Labor to devise
ways and means to alleviate this SER
ious condition. A preliminary report
was made which was adopted and the
Governor has deemed it advisable to

carrying out the program.
A meeting is to be held in Baltimore
on Thursday, September 8.

GARRETT COUNTY

Where the gnarled old oaks stand
guard each day,
And the mountains proudly reach
toward the sky;
The road twists in and out along its
winding way,
Past where the lakes deep clear
waters lie.
Sparkling in the sunshine, its dancing
surface CLEANS,
Gay bathers filling all the air with
boisterous glee;
Lovers slowly paddle to the more Sc
cluded streams,
While purple shadows creeping down
the sunny hills, l see.
Beside this mountain gem the weary
travellers rest
Content beside the placid waters, to
wait until .t
The golden sun sinks low in the distant
west,
Leaving a crimson glow over lake
and hill.
Perhaps the angels pause to rest where
the gnarled oaks grow
AS moonlight's silvery benediction
falls upon this tableland.
Man, too, may find a blessing where
these mountain breezes blow
Close beneath the clouds of heaven,
in the shadow of His hand.

Promise Us. Performance
OF ROOSEVELT ADMINISTRATION
I GOVERNMENT ADMINS
TRATION BUREAUCRACY.
PERFORMANCE

Before the Roosevelt Admin
istration there were TEN agen-
cies dealing with the production
and distribution of power. In
1885 there were TWENTY
THREE agencies concerned with
it.
TWO agencies of the Federal
Government were primarily con-
cerned with the settlement of la
Dor disputes in 1882. Four years
later TWELVE agencies are in
terested in the settlement of la
Dor disputes.
Housing problems were being
considered by FOUR agencies of
the Government before the
Roosevelt Administration. In
1886 FIFTEEN agencies are
dealing with the problem.
In 1882 there were SIX agen-
cies of the Government to which
foreign trade was a major con-
Germ. Today there are TWELVE
agencies concerned with this &C.
tivity.
FOUR Government agencies
were making loans to farmers
four years ago. Today there
are THIRTEEN agencies en-
gagged in making such loans.
EIGHT agencies of the FEEDER
al Government exercised extern
sive control over the public
lands. In 1886 such control is
being exercised by FIFTEEN
different organizations in the
Federal Government.
Today there are three differ
ent Government committees
each entirely Independent of the
other, all studying overlapping
services in the Federal Govern
ment.
