CROP AND FEED LOANS

Loans for the purpose of pur-
chasing seed, fertilizer, etc., for the
sowing of fall grain crops are now
available through the Emergency
Crop and Feed Loan Office. Loans
are also being made for the purpose
of enabling farmers to purchase feed
for livestock on a cash bail.
The Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Office serves those farmers
needing this type of short term
credit and who are not readily SER
we'd. by other credit sources such as
the Production Credit Association
or local banks.
Notes mature August 81, 1871,
bearing interest at the rate of 4 per
cent. The security required is a
crop lien, and in the case of feed
loans, first lien on the livestock.

FISHERIES PROGRAM
APPROVED
Commercial Fishermen OF Mary.
land And Virginia Meet
At Crisfield

A six-point program to rehabiii-
tate shad and herring fisheries In
Chesapeake Bay was tentatively
approved recently by subcommittee
of commercial fishermen of Virginia
and Maryland.
The steps recommended were:
Regulation of net spacing.
Possible changes in the length Of
the season.
Salvage of small fish now being
wasted in fishery processes.
Licensing requirements.
Compilation of fishery statistics.
Allowing sufficient escapage of
brook stock to assure natural re-
production.
The program was announced after
an all-day meeting without amplif-
cation of the points.
The advisory committees said such
communications probably could not
be made effective for at least two
years and possibly four, since legis-
lative approval would be necessary
in both states.
The Virginia committee suggested
initiation of movement to establish
the necessary joint power for State
conservation authorities to carry out
the program.
Maryland committee members
asked for more time to give detailed
study to the program, and for an
opportunity to work out such details
with the States legal officers.
Commercial fishermen in both
States have held a series of meet
ings on the problem of depletion of
the fish, and named the advisory
committees to discuss the matter
jointly.

Women Now Get Paid
For Talking; They Lectur.

AS takers, women are losing their
amateur standing. From the field Of
chatter, where the jokesmiths have
misplaced them so long, they have
risen to professional prominence in
the serious business of lecturing.
So declared Ralph McCallister, d.
rector of the Adult Education coun-
Gil. Women, though not dominating
the lecture platform, will hold an
enviable place alongside men, he
declared.
''There isn't any doubt that wom-
en- have come of age when it comes
to lecturing," said McCallister. Gone
is the feminine viewpoint that was
typical of the woman speaker of the
old days. Now her approach to a
subject is the same as that of a
man. She stands on her own feet
and discusses the same problems
that men do.
There are women lecturing to-
day who will talk politics, econom-
les and world problems as well as
any man. Books, literature and per-
sonal "reminiscences are as much
theirs to talk about as anybody's.
"They aren't yet in demand as
much as men, but their prestige is
growing. Although woman is re-
ferred to in jest as being a natural
talker, there is no doubt that she
gives public speaking more serious
thought and attention and study than
does man.
"a woman speaker is more con-
scientious than a man about prepa-
ration, l believe. She makes more
of an effort to put herself across"
However, Mr.. McCallister admit
ted, all this does not yet make her
dangerous competitor of the male
lecturer.
'Our men are still more in de-
mand than our women as lectur-
ers," he said. "That's because
mems groups always want a man,
and women's clubs always insist on
a man as their speaker"
Mr.. McCallister pointed out how
topics chosen by women speakers
have changed. Formerly a woman
would speak on: "A Woman's View
of Politics" Now it's: whats the
Matter With Politics?" or a general
subject, "The Washington Scene"
Formerly, he said woman might
appear to speak on "Your Children
and Nine" Now, with women as
Stunning as much Importance as men
in certain fields, it is easy to obtain
a woman who can discuss "The
Psychology of the Adolescent.
Mr.. McCallister believes, from the
Adult Education councils expert
ence, that about one of five impor-
tant lecturers today are women.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who is not managed
by his bureau, he points to as the
highest paid lecturer in the coun-
try and one Of the leaders in the
field of feminine public speaking.

Palate Poll Shows
Variety of Tastes

The National Restaurant associa-
ton recently took "palate poll'' of
celebrities ideas of perfect meal.
All of which brings Slightly Bit
ter response from oldsters who have
watched celebrities eat since the
first Worlds fair was a new idea.
John c. Holmes, rs years of age
and the oldest member of the Chi
cago Walters association, prefers to
remember when men were men at
the dining table and no woman
minded weighing $50 pounds in her
leg-o-mutton sleeves.
His verdict on dining out in this
era of Galleries and vitamin alpha
bets is simple:
"People don't know how to eat
any more!"
And to prove it, he began recall
ing nine-course dinners in the gay
nineties. There's even a moral
note.
'Of course, both men and women
were stouter in those days." he
said, "but they were also friendlier,
healthier and more sociable. Folks
today are thinner, but they're jittery
and sicklier than their mothers and
fathers were in the nineties. And
it's all because they don't eat
enough"
An old-time diner-out, it seems,
would start with cocktail and an
assortment of hors d'oeuvres. Hav-
ing put away a stable quota of
caviar, smoked salmon, deviled
eggs, sardines and what-have-you,
he would sit down, tuck in his nap
kin and start distributing tabasco
sauce over a dozen oysters. Green
turtle soup, enriched with sherry,
followed the blue points or the CO.
TUFTS.
His throat muscles properly loos-
ened up by this little workout, your
gay nineties diner disposed of a fish
course, sole, shad in season, or per-
haps, if he was a delicate soul, a
little lobster mayonnaise. Sweet
breads or some other relatively light
"entree" followed, with the main
course next and sixth on the card.
IF turkey or chicken was
served" Holmes pointed out, sit
would be followed by still another
course, a game dish such as part
ridge, pheasant or duck. Then
came the eighth course-salad and
an assortment of cheeses."
The ninth course was dessert.
And then came the coffee, with
brandy for the men and possibly
liqueurs for the ladies.
"And what do you get todayr"
asked Holmes. "You get fruit
cocktail, soup, probably a fillet
mignon, some salad and a parfait.
AL they want to do is eat whatever
you give 'em and be on their way"

Senator Radcliffe Active In
Peoples Court Move

United States Senator George l..
Radcliffe took "time OUT this week
from pressing affairs in Washington
and his own campaign for reelection
to urge the people of Maryland to
approve the Peoples Court Amend
ment when they go to the polls in
November. .
Senator Radcliffe, a member of the
all-important Committee on Finance,
has been closely confined to his Wash
ington office during the preparation of
the new National Defense Budgets.
This week, w. Clinton McSherry,
Frederick attorney and State Chair
man of the Non-Partisan Citizens
Committee for the Adoption of the
Peoples Court Amendment, was au-
thorized to make public the following
statement by Senator Radcliffe:
"The reorganization of the Peoples
Court (naade possible by the 1899 Gen.
esal Assembly, was dcu5tlcss q atop
in The right direction, but it has be-
come apparent that further changes
in the Court procedure and organiza-
ton are desirable. The proposed
Constitutional Amendment offers pos
sibilities for the development of the
Peoples Court along sound and help
full lines. It seems to me that this
Amendment is indeed very desirable
and should be adopted by the voters
in the November election"
Commenting on the Amendment,
Mr.. McSherry said:
1.-THE fact that the Amendment is
being strongly supported by Senator
Radcliffe, former Governor Nice, Gov
ernor O'Conor, Mayor Howard jack
son Of Baltimore and Addison E. Null
liken. the Republican Gubernatorial
nominee in 1926, vouches for the non
partisan nature of the proposed legis-
lation."

'.TyphOid fever is a germ dis

The protection of public and pri

Mr.. Howard Bruce may have
lost a pile Of money trying to
Wrangle the Democratic nominal
ton for the U. S. Senate, but he
gained one thing he won't lose for
a long time to come. That is his
campaign personality Generally
cold, tard and unSmiling, he de-
yeloped from an awkward speaker
into an easy one with a smiling
sympathetic manner during the
course of the campaign. And his
newly-found attitude seems to be
sticking with him. A hard-hitting,
successful business man, Mr.. Bruce
has little sympathy for failures;
and it was a long hard struggle for
him to develop the smiling, pleas
ant personality which the cam
paign seems to have brought out.
Incidentally, in case you hadn't
heard, the Bruce forces knew in
advance the fight was hopeless. A
secret poll taken by Mr.. Kauf-
man in Baltimore City, told them
the bad news three days before
election.
This week Governor Herbert r.
O'COnOr is on the hot-spot because
of his action in pardOning, with
out discrimination, former liquor
license holders whose licenses had
been revoked or suspended. The
Governor says it was the fault of
the board he had appointed to ex-
anime the cases, as he usually
does when things develop I'M
pleasantly for him; but the fact is
that the Governor signed because
of political pressure from Balti-
more City. An election was COM
ing up, you may recall, and the
Governor was urged to pardon the
viOlatOrs in last minute effort to
garner a few votes. This he did
even though there was not time
for the three-day advertising OF
the action which the law calls for.
The Governor made one day in an
Annapolis paper suffice. Liquor
people are supposed to be able to
swing lots of votes, but these par
doned liquor men weren't able to
swing Baltimore in the direction
desired by Mr.. O'Conor.
