INCOME TAX ON BEER

According to figures submitted
by the office of the State Comp
troller, the State of Maryland col
lected $71.487.33 in taxes on beer
for the month of May, 1899. This
does not take into consideration
various sums collected by the
Comptroller and the counties for
local tavern licenses, which aver
age for the entire state of Mary
land about 129,72S.0O per month.
Students Of economics point out
that during the prohibition years
sums equal to this amount and
event greater went into the hands
of bootleggers in the various To-
calities, fostering lawlessness and
disorder.

A device which indicates by meter
needle the height of an airplane over
the terrain Immediately below
whether water, land or buildings-at
a distance of 20 feet to 5000 feet, has
recently been developed by Russell
Conwell Newhouse of the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories. It has been hail
ed by the airlines as an outstanding
contribution to safety.
Clearance of an airplane can be
measured by bouncing" a radio wave
from the ship to the ground and back,
and measuring the time of transit.
This is obvious enough, but nobody
had ever done it, because the time in
terval is too short for direct measure
ment. The new device accomplishes
its purpose by earmarking each wave
sent out, so that by comparison of out

is 1T NATURAL FOR A PERSON
TO WISH HE WE'RE SOME
ONE ELSE?

w HILE a few people go through
w life wishing they were some
one else, many of the rest of us go
through trying to make people be-
Leve we are someone else. We don't
like to have our age known, for we
want to be taken for younger. We
like for people to believe we have
more education than we do; that
we have travelled far; that we have
made lots of money; that we come
from unusual blood, and a thousand
other receptions. A tactless person
tries to make you feel that he knows
the truth about you, while a tactful
one never intimates that he sees
through you. Yes, this is all nat
ural and a part of our instinct to
achieve standing among our fellows.
It is the lowest form of recognition
and should be replaced, wherever
possible, with true values we have
actually won for ourselves.

is converted into the reading of a
meter. The greater the difference,
the longer the transit time, and hence
the greater the airplane's clearance
over the terrain. So the meter is cali

a glance just how high he is.
For his development of the terrain

French Driven Out
OF German Areas,
Berlin Declares
Communique Hints Nazis
Avoiding Big Thrust
Into French Positions

BERLIN, Oct. 10. (UP)-
The Nazi high command an
nounced today that French
troops on the western front
had been driven back to
French soil on the Saar sector but
emphasized that German forces
avoided crossing the frontier.
THUS the first phase of opera
tions resulting from French init
iative is regarded as finished the
high command declared in a signi-
ficant statement that may reflect
Adolf Hitier's strategy.
The communique-claiming that
virtually all of the French gains
since the start of the war had
been wiped out and that pressure
had been lessened on the great
Saarbruecken industrial area -
limited that for the moment at
last Hitler was avoiding any pow
erful thrust at France.
The German high command also
announced that total German cas-
ualties from the start of the war
until October 7th were only 666
on the western front, including 1856
killed, but that 60 allied planes
had been shot down since hostilities
started.
Although the communique shed
no direct light on Hitler's plans
toward France, it was pointed out
that his bitterness has been direct
ed principally at Great Britain and
that the 'Nazi warfare has been
pressed most severely against the
British. Hitlers recent speeches
have emphasized the German de-
sire for peace, especially the lack

Highway Routing
Offer Rescinded

In a four-to-one decision and af-
ter considerable and heated discus
sion, Ell Centro's city council was
on record Thursday resembling a
resolution offering to approve rout-
ing Highway 80 down Adams av-
enue.
The resolution was passed several
months ago when it appeared that
an underpass project would be ap-
proved and was done to further
that project. 1t provided an offer
to the state highway commission
to obtain rights of way if, in the
future. the commission wished to
rerout the highway.
Spokesman for the opposition
was Henry Harris, who argued that
the resolution jeopardized value of
property on the present highway
route. He was opposed in the dis
cussion by Mayor H. w. Fawcett.
who pointed out that resembling
the resolution jeopardized chances
of eventually obtaining an under
pass.
