'Pill' Used for Testing
Metals Temperaturt

Metallurgists now can take a
metals temperature by giving it a
pill.
The new pill method was devel-
oped recently by Harry Blumberg,
of Jersey City, to extend the range
of existing temperature-finding
methods to lower temperatures.
The problem which the pills solve
is that of indicating the temperature
of metals which are to be shaped
or welded at less than 900 degrees
Fahrenheit. Metal heated to 400 de.
grees, for example, is too cool to
show a distinctive color by which
higher temperatures can be deter
mined.
Blumberg devised pills made OF
various compounds which melt at
definite temperatures. After much
experimentation, he developed a
complete set of chemical pellets
having sharply defined melting
points from 200 to 900 degrees.
Now, when a plant operation is
specified for temperature of 400
degrees, the metal can be heated
and 40O-degree pill, colored for
Identification, dropped on it's sur
face.

UNTRIMMED HEDGES HAZARDS
TO AUTOISTS

Declaring that motorists are sub
jected unnecessarily to serious haz-
ards by the laxity or Indifference Of
some property owners, the Keystone
Automobile Club calls upon property
owners and the authorities to aid
in accident prevention by trimming
trees, hedges and other growths
which obscure vision at intersection.
George E. Keneipp, Manager Of
the Club, said many complaints have
been received from drivers whose
lives have been imperiled at obscured
road and street crossings. In many
cases, property owners do not fully
realize the hazard motorists are
to, he pointed out, and
are quick to take remedial action
when the matter is brought to their
attention. Others, he said, appear
to be Indifferent to the danger.

San Quentin .Rejuvenations'

Unknown to the outside world, ex-

DELAwARE's MILK INDUSTRY

Delaware has an annual milk pro-
duction valued at approximately
$2,800,O00, the Milk Industry Foun-
dation reports. On January /, there
were $4,000 milk cows, valued at
$2,44S,000, producing 67,000,00O
quarts in 1889, on Delaware farms.
In addition to fluid milk, which
brings the farmer his highest price.
Delaware in 1898 produced $4,000
pounds of butter, 100000 pounds of
cheese, and 100000 gallons of ice
cream, the report shows.
In 1888 milk was the second larg-
est single source Of farm cash in
come in the state. Chickens ranked
first but milk was almost twice
grains, 81 per cent larger than
eggs, 20 per cent larger than all
vegetables, IL per cent greater than
all fruits and nuts, according to the
survey.

GAME Law CHANGES SOUGHT

An increase In the cost Of fishing
license and changes in hunting per-
mits are recommended by e. Lee Lee
Compile, state game warden, on
grounds that present revenues from
those sources were insufficient to I'm
ance the type of wild life and fish
culture program which Maryland re-
quires.
LeCompte proposed that the cost
Of fishing licenses be boosted from
81 to So, and that issuance Of coun-
ty-resident hunting permits be dis
continued. In place of county-resi-
dent licenses, he suggested a uni
form statewide license of $3.50.
Game department officials said the
changes would give the department
funds to expand its wild-life restora-
ton, cover a restocking and fish pro-
pagation program and "do better
job all around"
LeCompte pointed out that of the
present 81 fee for fishing and coun-
ty-resident licenses, court clerks who
issue them receive five cents, leav-
ing 95 cents for the department. 1t
costs IS cents fish to raise trout,
he continued adding:
1.-THE angler who secures his creel
limit Of 10 fish per day, or even dur
ing any one season, has received
more value than the cost Of his IL
cense, by far. The same applies to
game"
AS an example he cited break
down of the departments receipts
and expenditures in Allegany, Gar
rett and Washington Counties-best
hunting and fishing territory in the
state.
In 1889, the figures showed, the
department spent $26,414 and re-
ceived $16,703, representing deficit
of nearly $4,000.
LeCompte emphasized his depart
ment was self sustaining agency,
receiving no state appropriation, and
depending solely on revenue from
the sale of hunting and fishing Ii,
censes.

Modern Bandit Is Sissy
To Wild West Sheriffs


To pair of chip-jawed sheriffs
of the day of the Observation-Disclosures"
today's gangsters and bad men
wouldn't rate second glance.
bad Bills? Humph, they're
Sweet Williams" say these two men
in whose day the usual historian OF
a gun duel between the law and the
outlaw was the man who was fast
est with the gun.
Both former Sheriff George Tin
dali and his successor Fred Thorp
of Conconnully, WASH, rate as such
historians.
Tindall, native of Oregon, began
his career as an officer in 1887 when
he was a deputy sheriff and United
States marshal. In 1902, he became
sheriff. and that year was the begin
ming of the end of horse thieves and
cattle rustlers in the Conconnully
territory.
Thorp, his successor, known all
over the Northwest as the sheriff
that always brought In his man,
dead or alive.
When Tindall assumed office, the
average population of his region
was one person to each square mile
"a situation that made cattle rus
ting profitable affair.
A conviction on charge of cattle
thievery was hard to obtain, some
old pioneers even alleging that
many juries had members that
were mixed up IN the rustlings.
But 10 months after election, Tin
dali had changed the situation some
what. Teaming up with a fighting
prosecutor, Tindall brought about
conviction and prison terms for %
men in that time-a record never
equaled.
Probably the high point of the
sheriff's career was the war be-
tween the cattlemen and sheepmen.
It began when Tindall aided in the
arrest of one ''Wild Bill'' Hughes, a
reported murderer.
A deputy sheriff was shot the next
night, supposedly by friend of
Hughes-and the war was on.
A verdict of suicide was returned
by a coroner's jury since no one
could be found to testify. The west
erners suddenly were cursed with
bad memories.
And events similar to the night
riders of the tobacco states began.
Bands of men rode the hills at night,
armed with guns, knives and clubs.
Grazing sheep were slaughtered and
sheepmen would receive matches in
the mail.
The next night after the match
had been delivered, hay and feed
would 60 up in flames. 1t was the
end of sheep raising in the region
until comparatively recent times.

 of Family

A taxpayer, though single. wh, .upsc-ts and maintains in one household one or more individual; who are closely connected with him by bload relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these de- pendent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation, is the head of family and entitled to the same exemption allowed 3 married person-S2.50o
 Also he may claim a S400 credit for each dependent, if such de rendent person is under Is years cf age CT is by reason of ad- vanced age CT poor health Cmental or physicaD incapable of self-sup- port
 For example, widoWer who sup ports in ore household an aged mother and a daughter IT years cid is entitled to an exemption of s2 500 as the head of a family plus credit Of $400 for each de- pendent, a total of $500. The $40o credit. however, does not apply to the wife or husband of taxpayer, though one may be totally depen- dent upon the other.
 A taxpayer who supports in his home his minor children over whom he exercises family control is clas- llfied as the head of a family, even though the children may have an income of their own sufficient for their maintenance. If he does not support them, by reason of their own income, but does exercise fam fly control, he cannot be classi- fled as the head of a family.
 If an individual supported is an adult and there rests upon the tax payer a moral or legal obligation to provide a home and care for such individual, the exemption as the head Of a family IS allowed, provided the individual is finan- cially dependent If the individual is not financially depedent, the exemption, even though the tax payer maintains the common home and furnishes the chief support does not apply.
 For income-tax purposes there can be only one head of a family and the exemption cannot be divid- ed.
 It should be remembered that 2 single person, whether or not tht head of a family is required tt file a return if his or her net in come for 1889 was $1,000 or more regardless of whether the return i nontaxable by reason of the $2, 500 exemption.
