BOYS IN MARYLAND CCC CAMPS
BEING TRAINED in SOIL
SAVING

Special training in some of the
finer points of soil and water conser-
walton methods is being given to the
boys in three Maryland CCC camps,
who are helping farmers and the Soil
Conservation Service to set up erosion
control demonstrations.
o. C. Bruce, coordinator for the
Service in this State, says that fore
men in the Boonsboro, HARDWOOD and
White Hall camps are teaching the
BOYS to handle tree planting work,
contour stripping work, woodland
management work, and soil survey
work. The tree planting work, he
states, includes care and handling of
Seeding stock, field planting, meth
DDS of checking quality of work, and
record keeping. Training in strip
cropping consists of running contour
lines, so that the farmer may put his
cultivated fields in strips the coming
spring. Woodland management work
includes training to survey, map,
cruise and work up data on farm
woodland. Practice is given in sim
pie surveying for farm boundaries,
plotting them on maps, determine
ton of slope of the land, description
of certain soils, the amount of ero-
sion taking place, and different typ IS
of crops grown.
With this training, Mr.. Bruce
states, the boys should be able to
work as crew leaders, under the SUI
pervision of the TECHNICAL men, by
the time spring blowing gets started.
Specialized training is being given
to the boys also in the "how" and
why" of soil and moisture conser-
walton.

LEGISLATIVE GROUP OUTLINES
WISHES OF ORGANIZED
FARMERS

Legislative wishes of organized
farmers of Maryland have been work
ed out in detail, and presented to the
legislature, according to P. c. Turn
er of Baltimore county, chairman OF
the legislative committee of the
Maryland Farm Bureau. Mr.. Turn
er's statement followed meeting OF
the committee of eleven leaders OF
the organization representing all sec
lions of the state.
Tax problems, as usual, attracted
major attention of the farm leader
group. The organization will con-
linue to fight for state income tax,
and the continuance of selective
sales, or luxury taxes. The commit
tee again opposed diversion of gas
taxes in any form, but stated opposi-
ton to a Constitutional Amendment
preventing diversion at this time.
Elimination of state levies on real
estate for tax purposes were also fav-
ored by the farm group, but again
legislative, rather than Constitution
al means of accomplishing the pur-
pose were favored.
Three recent proposals were in

TUBERCULOSIS SEAL SALE GOAL
NOT ATTAINED

The Christmas Seal Sale that has
been conducted recently by the
MARYLAND Tuberculosis Association to
raise funds for continuing the war on
tuberculosis for another year has
raised sufficient funds to carry on the
program, but the goal has not yet
been attained.
due to the recent payments for
the Christmas Seals enough money
has been made available to carry on
the work of the association" said
William P. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector of the Association. However
it is most important that those peo-
pie who have still not contributed
should do so, for there are many ac-
tivities in the program that need to
be enlarged and there are always
many extra things that come up in
the course of year that must be
taken care of without delay"
Among the activities that should
be enlarged are, according to Mr..
Matthew's: the statewide clinical SER
vice, the Miracle House, the pur-
chase of necessary diagnostic equip
ment, and the work among the colo"-
ed tuberculous.
1.-THE work of the Association has
progressed steadily in the past thirty
years. Our efforts, however, must
be intensified If we are to completely
control this disease. Those who still
retain their seals unpaid for would be
of great help in this fight if they sent
the money for their seals TO their re-
spective chairmen" Mr.. Matthews
concluded.

Intimate Telephone Calls
Speed Hollywood Romances

phone calls, but if they did they would
have no time for pictures and then
they would have no fans.
At home, on the set, in dressing
rooms, in restaurants, the telephone
dials whirr under stellar fingers. Bust
ness, romance, domesticity, shopping,
babies and "just visiting" account for
the multiplicity of calls. Telephone
time for many stars averages an hour
and half a day, for dozen calls
tout" and dozen "in."
Dick Powell, who attends to bust
ness, recording, and radio details that
crop up during his movie working day,
has made as high as SO telephone
trips in one day, by actual count. Now
that he's working on loan to goth Cen
tury-Fox, and Joan Blondell is at War
ner Bros, his average may jump.
Joan's telephoning instincts take form
in frequent calls home to check on
Norman Scott Barnes, her young son.
Louise Fazenda is another constant
child-checker-upper.
Franchot Tone had Joan Crawford's
portable dressing room equipped with
telephone, and Joan uses it for shop
ping, telling cook what to have for
dinner, and generally arranging her
day.
Boy Is Telephone Carrier
The boy who takes around the plug
in telephone from table to table in the
studio restaurant is a literal table
hopper. At Metro, only commissary
where the meal-disturber can get right
into your soup, Robert Taylor, Clark
Gable and James Stewart get the most
calls (most of the stars lunch in their
dressing suites). When Taylor, Gable
or Stewart is on the line, romantic
gossips figure that Barbara Stanwyck,
Carole Lombard or Virginia Bruce is
on the other end.
jeanette Macdonald while in New
York called Gene Raymond twice
daily. Once upon a time New York
to-Hollywood telephone call was cause
for excitement, but now you have to
talk from London or Paris to stir up
any interest among the studio opera
tors. And even then you don't get
much of fiutter-because the girls
know that "telephonitis" is incurable,
and will show it's symptoms regardless
of distances.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY MOVES
SLOWLY

Like other Maryland General As
eemblies that have gone before, the
present Legislature, at Annapolis,
seems to be heading for the usual
lam of business in its closing hours,
After being in session for almost two
months it has little to show for it.
More than half of the ninety-day
session has passed with the 1889
budget of more than $70,O00,0O0 still
in the hands of committees with what
ia regarded as the most controversial
of the General Assembly's task as yet
unapproached.
Requests of the States relief and
welfare officials for a $16,17S,67l
Maryland contribution to a thirty
month program from April l have
been laid before the legislators, but
filed away for future reference.
Under the State Constitution, the
budget must be enacted before other
fiscal matters can be considered.
Governor Nice submitted his bud
get January rs and it has been the
subject of hearings and committee
discussion each day the legislators
have met since that time.
The special taxes now in effect for
relief expire March LIST. They raise
approximately $3,S00,000 year.
According to the program submit
ted to the legislators by the Board OF
State Aid and Charities, approximate
" $6,47O,00O year will be needed
for it's support.
It is necessity for new levies to
raise the amount set down as the
States share of an aggregate thirty
month program of $27,000,0OO-
Federal aid included-that the vet
eran members of the Assembly feel
will cause the jam during the final
weeks.
Except for the revival of the pro-
posal for sales tax, made by Sena-
tor Milton L. Veasey (Dem., Wor-
cester), 1t can be said that there has
been no discussion of the new pro-
gram of relief and welfare levies.
At any rate, those who are familiar
with the efforts of the Legislature to
formulate new tax plans expect every
new proposal to be the target of high
pressure Hobbies and even anticipat'
attempts on the part of interests now
subject to special taxation for relief
purposes to have those levies remov-
ed or cut down.

SOCIAL SECURITY

In a supplement to his first annual
report, John G. Winant, chairman OF
the Social Security Board, gave Con
gress and the nation at large an up.
to-the-minute picture Of fast-ex
panding Federal unit crowded to
point endangering efficiency.
To house it's various workers apc
machines, the Security Board now
utilizes space in seven different build
ings in Washington. Besides that
It is using 100000 square feet Of
space In Baltimore, where the &C
counting personnel is in operation
The immediate need for $4,000 addi.
tional square feet in Washington
and future need is for another $780,
900 feet for the Bureau of Federal
Old Age Benefits.
"It is to be hoped" said Chairman
Winant, "that Congress may be sc
impressed with the seriousness OF
this situatiin as to authorize the i'm
mediate erection Of a building to
house all activities OF the Social Sc
curity Board.
In rounding out his picture of pro-
gress and needs, Winant cited these
additional facts:
Az Of January /, the Social Securi-
" Board had on file more than a.
100000 applications for benefit ac-
counts.
All but seven states are participant
ing in one or more of the public as
sistance programs set up by the Social
Security Act, about 100000 persons
receiving regular cash payments from
Federal and state funds
The number Of Social Security
Board workers In Washington and
elsewhere is close to 5000. Twelve
regional Offices and 10s field Offices
have been opened.

what the Fair is planning, more than two
years in advance. in the way of facilities

ment.
Every man. woman and child in the
United States. he says, has an interest in
the 1889 Fair and to some degree or other
has part in the building Of that Fair.
The exposition, therefore. will surpass
all previous fairs. not only in the demon
stration of the wonders of the world or
present-day life and in the projection Of
the World of Tomorrow. but also in pro-
viding the utmost variety Of entertain-
ment and amusement for every man,
woman and child.

cry amusement possibility The tiresoma

Worlds Fair has anticipated the re-
quirements for entertainment and is
making them a part of the general
scheme o1 the Fair, rather than allowing
them to spring up as an appendage or an
afterthought. Even the tiny children will
have playground reserved exclusively
for their own use.

TREND OF AFFAIRS
BY Lucy Meachom Thruston

The burden of ornaments, the
heavy debts being incurred and the
question in every land as to when
this insupportable development will
end, have brought again to the fore
the question of disarmament. A
new date for a disarmament confer
ence has been set. 1t is May 6, 1897.
"All eyes are again ON Danzig,'
says a special communication from
Geneva. The ninety-sixth session of
the Council of the League of Nations
is now being held and the main ques-
lions before it are listed as: the Dan
zig question, that of the Spanish
Civil War and the refugee question.
And a second report ends with these
sinister words: The belief has un-
doubtedly grown that much more ma
chinery than the machinery of reg
ular conference is needed If the world
Is to avoid war.
The authority granted to President
Roosevelt in 1884 for negotiating
trade pacts expires on June 18th,
1887. An Administration movement
headed by the President and by Sec
rotary of State Cordell Hull is being
made to extend the present authority
for at least three years. Under tn ;
tariff reciprocity system trade agree
ments have been concluded by the
United States with Is countries and
Secretary Hull claims that these open
the way for an increase in our foreign
trade which will finally reach many
millions in dollar value and, best of
all, for a new understanding among
nations which cannot be measured
now or ever in money itself.
The total population Of the world
is estimated at 2,000,000,000. OF
these 28,900,OOO are aliens or per-
sons living in another country than
their own. The International Labor
Office has just published these figur-
es: the country with the creates;
number of aliens residing in it in
1880 were the United States with g.
| 500, 900 or 21.8 of all aliens recorded
IN the world. Argentina comes Sec
ond with an alien population of g.
| 100000. Then comes France with
100000, Brazil with 100000.
The countries in which alien popu-
lations were increasing were Greece
italy, France, and the Netherlands in
Europe and outside of Europe, Ar
gentina, Canada, and Korea.

UNsCRUPULoUs statesmen

Some inscriptions or over-zealous
statesmen and business concerns are
working a wage record racket
against employers. G. R. Parker,
Regional Director, Region w, Social
Security Board, warned today. Mr..
Parker said
Reports reaching the Office of the
Regional Director of Region ", COM
prising the District of Columbia,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia, indicate that
many employers are being imposed
on by over-zealous or interruptions
statesmen and concerns seeking to
sell one or another bookkeeping or
wage record system.
Some of these systems are repre-
scented as official systems. Others
are said to be the system approved
by the Social Security Board. The
fast is that no official system has been
devised or approved by the Social
Security Board. Any statement to
the contrary is misrepresentation.
Each employer is free to follow
his own system of bookkeeping and
record-keeping, provided the system
complies with the very simple regula-
lions of the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue of the United States Treasury
Department.
