UNIVERSITY WOMEN URGE CONSUMER AGENCY

DR.. Kathryn McIale, general director of the Amer

Roosevelt, the creation of Federal Agency to give
the adequate and accurate price information
in the present period of rising prices.
Dr.. McFIa1e wrote, NIT is very important at this
time to have coordination and degree Of consol-

EARLY American Ordinary
Forerunner of the Hotel

The early American public house
or ordinary" as it was commonly
called, was the crude forerunner Of
the modern hotel in this country.
With the development of roads these
"ordinarys" increased. Gradually
the old name was dropped, and the
public houses, with their taprooms
and great fireplaces, became known
as taverns. About the time Of the
Revolution the word hotel was found
in general use, relates a writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
In 1894 the City hotel, a New York
house with 70 rooms, was opened.
It was considered a tremendous es-
Enlistment in its time. Soon other
hotels were built in Philadelphia,
Boston, and Baltimore. The new es-
adjustments were confined, howev-
er, to the principal eastern cities
until the development Of the rail-
road.
The first steam trains carried
many commercial travellers west
ward into new business territories.
Quickly their numbers increased
and as quickly hotels sprang up in
the towns and cities which became
their stopping places.

PROFITABLE YIELD OF CORN

A good stand of corn is the first
essential for a maximum yield and
the factors which aid in securing a
good stand are sound, bright seed,
free from disease and cob discolora-
ton, treatment of the seed with a
commercial mercury dust, and ap-
plication of fertilizer when the corn
is planted, according to John w.
Magruder, specialist in agronomy for
the University of Maryland Extern
sion Service.
Mr.. Magruder emphasizes that
nothing offers greater insurance
against poor crop of corn than to
plant sound, healthy seed. He points
out that farmers who grade their
seed carefully, separating small,
medium and large kernels, find that
this enables the corn planter to drop
the kernels more evenly and thus
insure a more regular stand. In adj
dition, If the corn planter Is dajust-
ed to drop three kernels to the
hill considerable saving can be made
in the labor bill, as no thinning
will be necessary. Graders, cost less
than $40 and which will last life
time with reasonable care, may be
purchased from local machinery
merchants or mail order houses.

University Foundations
For Support of Students

A fellowship is a university foun-
dation designed for the support of
students. The institution arose in
the Middle ages and originally was
nothing more than a charitable
foundation to defray the cost of lodg-
ing and board for needy students.
At later period it was generally
granted after tests of fitness.
In the English universities, where
the fellowship system attained its
greatest development, the fellows
were at first undergraduates, but
gradually came to be chosen from
those already holding the university
degree. In American universities
fellowships are regularly distinc-
tons conferred to enable students
to pursue advanced graduate work
as distinguished from scholarships,
though the term scholarship is occa-
sionally used in this sense. They
are usually endowed by private do
nors and produce incomes varying
in amounts, tenable for terms of
one to three years, states writer
IN the Indianapolis News. They are
usually open to the graduates of
other colleges, and are assigned
either on competitive examination
or as an honorary distinction. Hold
ers are generally expected to pursue
their studies at the institution con-
ferring the fellowship and to per-
form certain duties. In some cases
holders may be permitted to study
at other institutions, and some fell
lowships are specifically intended
for work in foreign schools.
The number of endowed graduate
fellowships has rapidly increased.
Some universities offer a definite
number of special fellowships, and
a number of indeterminate fellow
ships, depending on the standing and
number of applicants.

Curling, Played on Ice;
Sixteenth Century Game

Curling is a Sixteenth century
game which, like golf, was invented
by the Dutch and popularized by
the Scotch. It is strictly a winter
pastime and is played on ice. It
is a leisrTely and honey looking
sport in which the high point of ac-
ton occurs when pair of old gaf-
fers with ordinary housekeeping
brooms start sweeping like mad in
front of what appears to be tea
kettle skidding along the ice. The
curling stone, which is a curved
piece Of granite weighing about SO
pounds, gets its tea kettle appear
ance from the handle which spouts
out of its top side, writes Tom Reil-
ly in the New York World Telegram.
It is strictly team game, with
four men playing on aside. Just to
make it bit more confusing these
combinations are known to the fancy
as drinks" rather than teams. The
most important man in any "rink"
is called the Skip" which seems to
be an abbreviated way of calling
him Skipper" or captain. Each
man has broom and after the
stone starts sliding they sweep in
front of it when the Skip COM
mands.
Curling really is combination Of
bowls and SWITCHBOARD. The length
of each court or "sheet'' is 1873 feet
from hack to hack" A ''hack" is
nothing more than a small board in
serted into the ice at each end of
the "sheet" and on which the man
about to curl the stone puts his foot,
much as pitcher toes the slab. In
front of each hack are three large
concentric circles, and it is the OBJ
ject of the game to toe the hack at
one end of the sheet and spin the
stone as nearly to the center of the
circles on the other end as is posi-
BILE. After all eight men have had
their shots the stones are meas
ured as in quoits and the score an
nounced. The players start first at
one end Of a sheet and then re-
verse. Fourteen lends" or trips up
and down the "sheet" constitute a
match.

EIGHT COUNTIES OvERDRAW
GASOLINE TAX ACCOUNTS

AS of March 81, eight counties
had overdrafts totaling $170,9S7 in
their laternal gasoline-tax accounts,
William A. Good, chief auditor of
the. State Roads Commission. an
nounced.
After all revenue anticipated by
the end of the current fiscal year
had been considered, and after all
obligations incurred to March 81,
had been met, Allegany, Caroline,
Kent, Montgomery, Prince George s
st. Mary's, Somerset and Washing
ton showed deficits.
Mr.. Codd also announced that
Kent, Talbot and Frederick coun-
ties had deficits in their county con-
struction fund accounts. However,
Frederick county had credit bal
ance of $4,000 in its lateral road
account, which, after being applied
against a deficit of $33,538. leaves
the county with $50 credit for the
remainder Of the fiscal year.
Talbot county, with a $6,142
credit in lateral funds and a deficit
of 1882 in construction funds, has
a credit balance of $4,79O.
Kent county, on the other hand,
was deepest in the red, having Q
deficit in both lateral and ccnstruc-
ton fund accounts totaling $40,464.

Childermas So Named to
Recall Infant Slauphte,

Childermas or Holy Innocents' day
is SO named in commemoration Of
the slaughter of infants ordered by
Herod. 1t is supposed to be one of
the unluckiest days in the calen-
dar and in former times people were
very careful not 10 enter into any
undertaking on this day. To marry
on Holy Innocents' was simply ask
ing for trouble, says London Tit
Bits Magazine.
Many people will not work on
Childermas, and in Cornwall the
women refrain from scrubbing and
polishing. Louis XI shared this be-
lief and the mere request to do any
thing on this day sent him into a
tearing rage. Edward the Fourth
was to be crowned at Childermas.
which fell on a Sunday, but he had
the ceremony put off till the next
day.
In the Middle ages and long after
wards, professions of children were
forbidden at Childermas, and even
tually Henry VIII proclaimed in 1540
that all such professions were ille-
gal. In some parts Of the country
children were actually whipped at
Childermas to remind them Of what
happened hundreds of years ago.

In other words, Governor o'Conor
felt that the time for poll
tics and for theorizing and expert
mentation had long passed, and that
now it was incumbent upon the state
to put a real program in effect. He
deemed it advisable to put in charge
,of the States resources some men
who actually knew something about
them, and whose long connection
with, and experience in commercial
fisheries would be helpful towards
not only increasing the yield and the
quality of the output but, vastly
more important, who would know
what to do to regain Marylaad's sea-
food markets, and to dispose of our
products to such advantage that
those engaged in the industry might
be rescued from the financial dis
tress into which they had fallen
these many years.
If it be illogical, proponents of
the bills contend, to place in charge
men with practical knowledge" +,
then we might just as we'll go to
our lawyer friends when threatened
with appendicitis, or appeal to our
medical intimates to defend us
against law suit. On the same
basis, the opinion of those vitality
concerned with Chesapeake Bay
Conservation, because it vitality at
fects their livelihood, ought to be
worth at least as much as the opin-
ion of those whose interest is either
academic or from a purely detached
statewide viewpoint. And those Wit
ally concerned are "all for" the new
Conservation set-up, and loud in
praise of Governor O'Conor for
sponsoring it.

Britain. When the Royal Pair get
to Washington they will find every
thing all "dolled up" for their COM
ing-providing that they look at the

expense of the United States tax

War Raids Versus Treasury Raids
There have been so many war
scares that the hysteria seems to
have been overworked with the re-
suit that Congress appears to have
concluded that there is very little
danger of any foreign government
attempting to commit raids along
the American coasts.
Raids on the Federal Government
shave long seemed an actually, and
attention is noticeably turning to
domestic affairs. The question of a
better system to get men back to
Jobs is our nations most serious
problem.
In general the old American
theory of assuring business and the
great mass of the working people
that they are expected to stand on
their own footing boondoggling on
a public treasury, is the raid that a
sensible Congress is checking up on.
