FACTS AND FIGURES
ON YOUR
TELEPHONE
By

A decrease of II per cent in crimes
and an increase of 60 per cent in
arrests since the installation in Evans
vile, Indiana, last summer of q
two-way police radio system, de-
velopment of the Bell Telephone Lab
oratories, is reported in the Bell Tele-
phone Quarterly.
installations of two-way police radio
systems are scheduled for Wheeling,
W. Va; Nashville, Tenn; Elgin, ILL.,;
Manchester, N. H., and Westfield and
Morristown, N. j.
With two-way police radio, motor
patrolmen not only receive alarms, but
may acknowledge them, request fur
ther instructions, report crimes or sus-
picious persons or circumstances, and
may inform headquarters of position
and progress on assignments, all with
out leaving the wheel of the police car,
the Quarterly article shows.
The two-way system operates on
ultra-high frequencies in the band of
S0-42 megacycles. In addition to
transmitter at headquarters and re-
ceivers in the patrol cars, it includes
specially designed transmitters for the
cars and receiver at headquarters.
The car transmitters, weighing only 20
pounds, are IL by z by 6h inches
in size, and yet are held to within .025
of an assigned frequency by a new
type of crystal with low tempera-
ture coeficient, according to the
Quarterly article.
A flexible steel rod, projecting
slightly above the top of the car, acts
as vertical antenna which transmits
as well as receives On the dashboard
hangs telephone, much like the IA
miliar hand-set, and the patrolman's
voice speaking through it operates re-
lays which put the car transmitter
on the air. These relays are SO timed
that they do not switch off during
intervals between words, but do SO
after the brief pause which shows that
the speaker has finished. The car re-
ceiver then automatically goes into
operation and is ready to pick up mes
sages from headquarters.

Farm Bureau Will
Withhold Judgment
On Soils Program
Secretary C. E. Wise, Jr., Says
Months OF Experience For
For Judging Plan

Farmers of Maryland are urged by
Secretary C. E. Wise, Jr., of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation to
withhold judgement on the soils con-
servation and adjustment program,
which has been provided to replace
the emergency adjustment program,
until more complete details are
known. Mr.. Wise is one of the several
representatives of Maryland to attend
the conference called by Secretary of
Agriculture in New York this week.
"Just how the program can be ap-
plied to all types of farming fairly is
still question" in the opinion of Mr..
Wise. "Some months of experience
will probably be necessary to adjust
+be new law so that its benefits will
be fairly distributed among those fol-
lowing different types of farming.
Farmers, themselves, will have an op-
nortunity under the new measure to
help make these adjustments through
their own organizations, and national
leaders firmly believe that the new
measure can be made more beneficial
to agriculture than the old, both in
immediate benefit and in the long
time program of conserving our farm
resources"
That there might be some difficulty
in adjusting the program to such
types of farming as dairying, poultry
production, and truck farming was in
dicated by Mr.. Wise. He believes,
however, that these problems can be
worked out.
"There is no doubt of the necessity
of a national agricultural program"
saws the Federation's secretary. Gag
riculture is still long way from par
ity with industry on the basis of
either the year 1925 or the pre-war
period. With one-fourth of the popu-
lation engaged in farming and receiv-
ing but one-eleventh Of the national
income, the problem of agricultural
adjustment is one which concerns
everybody. The soils conservation
measure holds promise of solution
to this problem"

Garden Work Will Be
Observed May A, s, 6 and I

One of the most interesting features
of the Spring will be Maryland's Gar
den Week, to be held May a, 5, 6 and
Il, when many of the famous old
homes and gardens of the state, many
OF them never opened to the public
before and correspondingly little
known, will be opened for the Pill
grimage.
Sponsored by the Federated Garden
Clubs Of Maryland, the Pilgrimage
will benefit the Permanent "Highway-
Improvement Prize" Fund which
Maryland is the first state to estab-
lish and which will provide an annual
cash prize for the best improvement
by an individual, of a specified number
!of front feet along an annually de-
signated State Highway.
This years Pilgrimage will include
Southern Maryland, Annapolis, Har-
ford County, Cecil County, Howard
County, Frederick County, Baltimore
and vicinity, many of the houses be-
| ing opened for the first time to the
public. Maryland's old houses, while
they are, for the most part, less
known than those of Virginia, are
equally famous, and her Spring Pill
grimage has come to be considered as
interesting and important as that of
her sister state, with Maryland
thronged with visitors from all over
the country.
Mrs. H. Rowland Clapp and Mrs.
Hayward E. Boyce are co-Chairmen of
the Pilgrimage Committee. Mrs.
Charles Rieman and Mrs. Duncan K.
Brent form the Advisory Committee,
while Mrs. Blanchard Randall, Jr., is
chairman for Southern Maryland;
Mrs. Robertson Griswold, Baltimore
and vicinity; Mrs. John T. Bowers,
Annapolis; Miss Susan C. Hasker
Anne Arundel County; and Mrs. c.
Irving Adams and Mrs. Mary Owings
Clark, Howard county. Miss Rebecca
Boyce is secretary of the Pilgrimage
Committee, and any information may
be secured from her at the headquart-

IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. L. C. PrObert

Since the last meeting of the Rec
tors Aid Society Of st. Batholomew's
parish, we have lost one OF the most
valued, active and generous members
of this group. Mrs. Adelaide Probert
was president of the Society at several
different times in its history, and
gave great deal of attention to its
affairs. 1t was under her leadership
that several signincant improvements
were made at the rectory-more es-
specially the installation of a hot
water heating system, taking place Of
an inadequate pipeless furnace, and
the placing of an automatic electric
pump, replacing the old gasoline
engine pump which had served its
time. Mrs. Probert showed, in all her
work with this group, not only her
tine powers of action and leadership,
but also her gracious and generous
personal nature-and all that she did
was done with noble and fine spirit.
But it was not alone in connection
with the Rector's Aid, that Mrs. Pro-
bert manifested her abilities of lead
ership and her generous nature. Her
splendid work with the Hospital
Board, and especially her management
OF the yearly benefit suppers, at which
thousands of dollars were made for
the hospital, will be remembered by
all associated with her, for years to
come-and will be an example in ad-
mlnistration for those who come after.
1t would not be proper to detail any
O1 her many contacts with less
and charity, her aid to needy students,
and to those in want, other than to
mention the fact that these gracious
acts made Mrs. Probert a conspicuous
ana outstanding example to all who
nave the means to help less fortunate
INDIVIDUALS. She was so quiet and
andy IN this respect (as indeed in
al others that very few people knew
O1 her many contracts with less
privileged persons-whom she aided
from time to time.
We record her passing with sense
VI ueep personal loss and pray for her
an abundant and radiant life in the
.a .snd OF peace and joy.

Fortune Telling Old

Fortune telling, in its many forms,

innocent persons are mulcted of tens of

There was a King Cole, who was
more than a legend and a character
out Of a Jingle, according to the old
chronicles. He is supposed to have
reigned In Britain during the Third
century A. d. One version Of his

We hear much said along the line
that the crying need of the country
is less government and cheaper gov
eminent but there is not session
of any legislature that does not have
its harvest of new laws and new ex-
penses. While everyone talks of
lower taxes, everyone works to in
crease taxes. A new tax, gas tax or
an income tax is levied, and immed-
lately a new crowd is put on the
pay roll. It isn't long until the new
levy is used up and deficit is Great

ed out and the vicious never ending
circle is begun again. The best way
to reduce taxes is to refuse to credit
new jobs that call for tax money
and abolish a lot of Jobs that have
been created merely to reward some
political worker. All the talking that
is done in a million years won't re-
duct taxes as much as the abolish
ment of a collection of useless jobs.

Nine of the highest vice lords Of

courts, were convicted and sent to
prison for 80 to so years for COM
pulsory prostitution as the head Of

note the good old Aremican names
borne by the. leaders Of the gang.
Some Of them are: Lucpiano, Peno-
chic. Betillo, Balitzer, Ellenstein,
etc. This country will be many years
paying for the grotesque and tragic
mistake it made in admitting a lot
Of immigrants Of this stripe into this
country. Some day we may acquire
intelligence enough to keep them
out Of our borders and to those that
do slip in and run amuck with the
Law, deportation should invariably
follow the completion Of their prison

Russia, with her great empire, IS
almost as much of an enigma as is
China but in quite different way.
China is content to remain station
ary. but Russia has conducted the
most daring experiment in govern
ment that the world has known IN
a century. Throwing off the yoke OF
despot monarchy, she jumped into
the depths of communism and dared
to try every experiment that this
system could prescribe. Again the
world sees here in the process OF
throwing off the yoke Of commun-
ism and emerging as new republic.
A new constitution has been franz
ed. A constitution which provides
for two houses of parliament, uni
versal suffrage for men and women
over IS, a secret ballot, freedom OF
the press, freedom Of speech and
free education. Some socialistic fea-
lures are retained but for a coun-
try that has gone through the
changes that Russia has gone thru
in twenty years this is remarkable
progress. There is something in
mankind everywhere that causes
him to live justice and hate tyranny
that makes him strive for that sur
rounding that will permit him to
enjoy the fruits of individual effort
and individual endeavor and enter
prise. It is not idle to think that
Russia, with her vast resources, her
potential man power, her sturdy
ability to survive devastating
changes may yet become the power
Of Europe with which other nations
will have to reckon.
