Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh. July 22.-Therc have been
rumblings and grumblings in some
quarters around the capital city as
the result of the Chicago convention:
but none seemingly serious enough
to forecast any large scale detection
in November from the Roosevelt
Wallace ticket.
The repeated statements by some
nationally known ColumniStS that the
denomination OF the President was
accomplished by "phony" draft and
through the medium Of political
bosses make no impression on Demo-
Gratis mere. VINO know the North Car
DINA situation and feel that the same
conditions exist elsewhere.
1t is widely pointed out that North
Cardinals delegation was for ROosc-
welt not because OF lis political bosses.
but in spite of them; for everybody
knows that Governor Clyde r. HOcy
and most Of the state administration
StalWarts were desperately opposed
to Roosevelt and only went along for
his nomination because they were
literally forced to do so by the
strength Of public opinion.
One cid line Democrat who didn't
want to vote for Roosevelt anyhow,
got much comfort out Of the Wallace
nomination for vice president
"Thank goodness. can vote FOR

ON
THE WHEAT CROP
IS NOW OFFERED

Protection by inurance on the wheat
crop to be planted this fall is now
being offered in Worcester county by
the County AAA Committee, accord
ing to R. T. Grant, County Agent.
Both operators and landlords may in
sure their interests in the crop.
Mr.. Grant says that growers who
have insured their wheat crops the
last two years have found the pro-
gram to be an excellent means of
protection against losses from haz-
ards that cannot be foreseen, such as
hail, fire, drought, injury by insects,
and diseases, etc. Figures received
from the Crop Insurance Corporation
show that Is per cent of the Mary
land growers who insured their crops
in 1889 were paid indemnity for loss
csc. For small cost, the crop in
surance program guarantees three
fourths of normal crop.
Every grower will not collect a pay
ment every year, but in a year when
misfortune overtakes him in the form
of partial crop failure, the grower
protected by crop insurance is assur-
ed of crop to sell. Wheat growers

COW AND CALF TAKE
TO WOODS NEAR STAFFORD

A cow and calf, which was unload
ed here together with a carload of
Western cattle, escaped and gave their
pursuers merry chase before they
were captured. They were finally To-
Gated in a woods along the bank of
the Nanticoke River. The calf had
become so settled in the muck and
mire at the edge of the river that
it was necessary to uses block and
fall to remove it. Both the cow and
calf were exhausted when taken cap
tive from their long trek in the woods
adjacet to Seaford. The cattle were
consigned to Herring Run Farms,
near here.

LONG DISCUSSED DUAL
HIGHWAY RAISES IMPETUS

The dream of the late T. Coleman
DUPONT for a dual highway running
Wilmington to Delmar has moved a
step nearer realization, and fuel has
been added to local requests for a
double road to meet it in Maryland,
with the request by the Seaford
Chamber of Commerce for extension
of the double roadway from Dover to
Delmar.
Salisburians have for many years
been asking the Maryland State
Roads Commission for construction of
a dual highway from Delmar to the
Virginia line, but no action has been
undertaken.
The Seaford Chamber will contact
the State Highway Commission OF
Delaware in an effort to push the pro-
ject through.

ADVANTAGES
FROM THE MASS
INFORMATION

In seeking the cooperation of mot
orists generally, in the reporting of
all minor traffic accidents throughout
the State on the new "short form"
card, soon to be available everywhere,
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor's Mary
land Traffic Safety Committee en-
phazises the possibilities for traffic
improvement that can come as a re-
suit of such mass information on ac-
cidents generally.
Many times, they pointed out, &C.
cidents occur because of road condi-
tions, lack of proper signals, or other
correctible causes. If the Committee
is fully aware of where and when
accidents are occurring, it will be
much easier to correct contributing
conditions. AS matter of fact, the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
already has been responsible for the
correction of a number of traffic
hazards by the installation of traffic
lights, and by road changes, and in
general, is alert to remedy conditions.
The human element, however, will
always be the most important single
factor in accidents, and the Com
mittee asks that motorists remember
this at all times.

MOTORISTS
USE MUCH "GAS" IN JUNE

According to J. Ellis Meintzer,
Chairman Talbot County Petroleum
Industries Sub Committee, Maryland
motorists used %, 925,14O gallons of
gasoline during the month of June,
this year and paid gasoline taxes in
the record amount of $1,446,3O7.
This information was received by the
Maryland State Petroleum Industries
Committee from the Comptroller's
office. This is the largest amount of
gasoline tax paid by the motorists
during any single month since the
inception of the gasoline tax in 1922.
1t exceeded by $4,000 the month of
August, 1889, the previous high
month.
Of the total of $1,446,3O7, the State
of Maryland received $1,157 ,O45.6O
from its tax of cents per gallon and
the Federal Government received
$289, 261.40 from tie Federal gasoline
tax of 1 cent per gallon.
After the payment of refunds and
the deduction made for debt service,
a total of $1,O42,759.95 in gasoline
tax was distributed by the State
Comptroller. The State Roads Com
mission received $461, 915.59. Balti-
more City received for it's streets a
total of $299,258.2O and the twenty
three counties of Maryland received
1921, 586.16.
Bltimore City receives each month
over twenty-five ESQ., per cent of
the entire gasoline tax paid by Mary
and motorists.

CHINCOTEAGUE TO HAVE
A MUNICIPAL PARK

Chincoteague plans to have a mum
icipal park on the waterfront, with
a boat basin for pleasure boats. The
town, through it's attorney, Ernest
Ruediger, has started proceedings
against Joseph F. Wheaton ct ais,
for the condemnation of three lots
on South Main Street, facing Chinco-
league Bay, adjoining the lands of
Asher Matthews, w. C. Bunting and
K. j. Bunting and bounded by Willow
Street on the southeast. The project
when finally completed, will probably
cost from $500 to $4,000. Part of
the necessary money will be granted
by the WPA it is expected.
