The farm groups were successful
this week in their fight to secure
county funds to combat the Japanese
beetle.
The board moved to appropriate in
the next years budget not more than
81, 200 to match similar appropriations
by the State and Federal govern
ments. The insect pest has caused

spread may be checked before it re-

tions. Several delegations appeared
before the former board and DR..
Geol e S. Langford of the University
of Maryland. Josiah w. Jones, former
head of the Montgomery County
Farm Bureau, and o. w. Anderson,
county agent, urged an appropriation.
Harry M. Williams, clerk Of the
Montgomery County Police Court at
Rockville, was reappointed. He was
appointed four years ago under the
Fusion administration, but joined the
harmony movement of anti-organiza-
ton Democrats last summer which
won a large majority in the Novem-
Der election for the United organiza-
tion Democratic party.

Compensation
For Strikers
IAN EditoriaD

Maryland's Unemployment Com
pensation Board has decided to paw
to miners on strike such benefits as
the law sets up for unemployment.
The decision of the board was
based on the conclusion that the
men on strike are not in fact
strikers" but are unemployed be-
cause of negotiations being carried
on between the operators and heads
OF the union. Of course, members of
the Unemployment Compensation
Board reached their decision on
legal grounds that is they con-
sidered only the application of
Maryland's law.
Assuming that this decision is in
full conformity with the law, then
the law must be wrong. Think what
the decision means! 1t means that
men on strike men who have
work and refuse to do it = men
whose work is necessary for the
public good - men whose leaders
have been appealed to by Mayor
Jackson, of Baltimore, to permit
operation of the mines for just one
day so coal could be provided for
hospitals and other public institu-
lions - men whose leaders, in open
defiance of humanitarian needs,
decree that they shall not work
these men are to be paid public
money to keep them in idleness.
If help is needed by families of
strikers then help should be pro-
vided by the organization respon-
sible for such idleness. Certainly
when money extracted from pay
rolls generally is used to help
strikers on strike, then unemploy-
ment compensation as a progressive
measure to help the unemployed
man who has no work, places the
State in the position of aiding and
abetting strikers.
Issues in the strike have no
bearing on this aspect of the case.
The fact that men on strike are
being paid money provided by
tax which imposes the greatest
burden on employers yet devised, is
a challenge to the men who make
and administer the law.
This decision establishes a
dangerous precedent. If the I'm
emp oyment Compensation Board
is correct in it's decision, then the
law needs changing, and if the law
is correct, then the Board needs to
be reversed.

The mummy shows that the 7racho-

with skin tubercles of relatively small
size. The thin character of the skin
indicates that the creatures spent
much time in the water, as is shown
also by the fact that the small fore
feet terminate in broad extension of
the skin reaching beyond the fingers
and forming kind of paddle.
The Tyachodon had an amazing tooth

all practical purposes of study it is the
skin itself. But in the hundreds of
thousands of fossils that have been dis
covered such fortunate occurrences -
of which this mummy is one - can al
most be counted on ones fingers.
In our dlnosaur mummy we have
nearly a complete picture of its outer
covering. The great reptile lies on its
back with the front limbs stretched
out as if imploring aid, while the hind
limbs are drawn up with convulsive
effort and folded against the walls of
the abdomen. The head is bent back
ward under the right shoulder. The
skin is shrunken around the limbs,
tightly drawn over the bony surfaces
and contracted like great curtain
below the chest area.
This condition suggested that after
the dinosaur died natural death, the
body lay exposed to the sun for long
time, perhaps upon broad sand fiat
of a stream in the low-water stage.

When Selecting Mate Pick One
Mother Hasn't Babied Too Much

A young man asks my assistance
in finding a wife as he has not yet
been able through his own efforts
to locate a young woman who meets
his demands. He says he wants a
wife who will treat him just as his
mother has always done. He de-
sires a wife who will make his
pleasure and comfort her object in
life She must always lay out his
clothes for him and keep them
brushed and mended; cook the
things he likes the way he likes
them She must always be bright
and cheerful and attractive looking,
and meet him with q smile when
he returns home. Above all, she
must not pout and get sulky, no
matter what he says or does, but
must make excuses for him and
feel that she Is to blame for having
irritated him.
I regret extremely that I can be
of no help in putting my finger on
this paragon of wifehood. Indeed,
