Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-02-03
The Legislature Gets
Rapidly On To Business

for the consolidation of control Of the
five State Mental Hospitals; so that
by the middle of February, when the
half way mark is reached, the Legis-
lature will have before it for consid-
Grafton practically every Statewide
measure of any Importance, and can
settle down to thorough discussion OF
these pressing phases of State prob
lens.
One thing that impresses the visitor
to the State House these days is the
spirit of cooperation Manifesto spir-
it that seems to evince the whole
hearted desire of the rank and file OF
the Legislature to go along with the
Governor. There is general realiza-
ton of the acute state of the finances
of the State and of the desirability for
economy, and for meeting problems
face-to-face, instead of lodging them
by devious devices. After talking to
members from various counties, as
well as from the city, it looks as tho
the Governor will find plenty of back
ing for most if not all of his proposals.
Now that the first shock of the
Income Tax Recommendation OF the
Commission on Taxation and Revenue
has had time to pass off, feeling
throughout the State, as reflected by
city and county men alike at Annap-
oils, is that it could have been a whole
lot worse. The exemptions, $1,000 for
individuals, $4,000 for married couples
and $4OO for each dependent, will free
the great majority of people in the
lower-income bracket from payment,
or assess them lightly.
Under the proposed tax, an unmar-
ried individual earning $1,000 pei
year, will pay on only 5000, or total
of $500. A married couple with three
children, for instance, will have q
So 200 exemption.
With regard to the flat individual
tax of 6 per cent on income from
dividends and interest, it is actually
less than the present A IL mills tax
which is, in effect, flat income tax
based on the value of the security and
not it's yield, and is equal to flat in
come of almost per cent.

 Following is Mir. Wade's list of the wage earner's obligations and rights:
 l. All commercial and indus trial workers must have a social security account card. If you do not possess one, file an applica- ton at once. In the event a field office is not located in your town inquire at your post office.
 2. If you have lost your social security card, duplicate will be issued to you without charge.
 3. Only one social security ac- count number card is necessary. If you have more than one, call immediately at MT. Wade's office.

 5. This also applies if you have attained age 65 and have worked in commerce or industry at any time since January 1, l937. You may be entitled to a lump sum benefit. To obtain this you need not retire from work.
 6. If you desire to know the amount of wages credited to your account in l937 call at your field office. If you believe the amount credited is incorrect, give the facts to the field office.

 8. Make certain your employer has your correct name and ac- count number on his records.

Diesel Engine System must be Kept Clean in Order to Insure Good Working Conditions

The Fishing Gazette in an ar ticle on the necessity of keeping clean the Diesel engine system, says in part:
 Piston rings are of the great est importance in a Diesel en- zine A whole lot of money has been invested in developing pis- ton rings and whole lot of mon ey has been spent on piston rings. No one condition can be blamed for piston ring failure but clogging of the rings is big reason. Excessive tempera- ture of the top rings as a result of combustion gases leadsto de- composition of the lube oil on these rings and formation of carbon deposits which clog the rings in their grooves and cause cylinder scoring or possible seiz ing of the piston. The ring must move in it's groove, otherwise rot gases will leak past the rings.
 Stuck rings can be removed from the piston by soaking the piston in kerosene for several hours or boiling it in soapy water several hours. If the rings are badly burned into the grooves they must be broken out by using a short length of brass rod and a hammer. Do not chisel them out as you might damage the grooves. The rings can be wiped clean with a cloth. Do not use waste. The use of waste is not good in cleaning Deisel en- zines as there are many fine holes and oil ducts which may become clogged by the smallest amount of the waste clinging to them.
 Every fuel oil system and ev- cry lubricating oil system for every Diesel engine must have sufficient Altering and straining units to protect the engine. It is a good plan to use duplex fil- ters (two strainers together) so that one can be cleaned while the other Is in use, SO that the flow Is not stopped.
 We wonder is any fisherman ever cleans out his fuel tanks and piping system in his boat. After the tank and piping has been drained light liquid, such as gasoline or kerosene, should be used to clean out these tanks and pipes and everything drain ed out of the system at drain cock which should be located at the low point of every system.
 The longer sediment remains without being removed the hard CT it becomes and the longer and more costly the job of removing it.

DIR. Simon Lectures
On Richard Wagner
BY ALICE EVERsMAN.

0y AL4CE ZVENS0ANs
A lecture on Richard Wagner was
given by DR.. Heinrich Simon, noted
musicologist last evening at the
Warrington Club IN which he had
the assistance Of Maria Delden,
Wagnerian soprano.
DR.. Simon's talk stressed few of
the incidents that make Up the life
Of Wagner but dealt rather With
the motives and ideals that were
behind his urge for musical crea-
ton. He spoke Of his dream for Q
poetical Germany and for one in
which the national strain would
flourish pure and unblemished. Yet
with all the intensity Of his desire,
Wagner himself was not thoroughly
nationalistic In the character Of his
music.
In his operate characters, DR..
Simon pointed to those that stood
for an ideal Germanic type but in
sisted that the Ring was based on
the kinds OF legends that belonged
to almost every country without any
exclusive Teutonic monopoly. The
political views Of Wagner and his
anti-capitalistic sentiments which
form the basis Of the Ring story ac-
cording to DR.. Simon were also
touched upon. His statement that
Wagner believed II the Germans

SCaTlctL mas TdIeQ JIle mOSt super
lative comment for her performance
It may have been the nature of the
novel itself, diehards may insist,
which gives Miss Leigh the major
honors of the picture. Scarlet,
indeed, was dominant character.
The fact remains. however, that had
she made a single conspicuous mis-
step, more than a score of alert
ladies and gentlemen of the press
were ready to pounce upon it. That
they did not, that the consensus
was so highly favorable to her COM
plete dominance of the picture, is
an indication that Mr.. Selznick's 5
great gamble was winner.
That Miss Leigh should walk
away with the acting honors of the
most discussed picture in movie
history is not a reflection-the first
critics make clear-upon Cables
Interpretation of Rhett. On the
contrary, the reviewers are at pains
to specify, he does an excellent job,
one that brings Rhett up to his full
stature in the novel. Nevertheless,
it is one which, as Margaret Nit
chell intended, should not have the
proportions of the INSCRIPTIONS,
coquettish Scarlet.
