Seat Pleasant
Bars Livestock,
Poultry, Bees

The Town Council of Seat Pleas
ant, Md, took long step toward
becoming a metropolitan community
last night by adopting an ordinance
barring the keeping of fowl, bees.
goats, sheep, horses and cows within
its boundaries. An attempt to in
clude butterflies in the ban failed.
To guard against too drastic a
change in the towns policy, how
ever, an unofficial memorandum
was attached for the benefit Of
Town Policeman James Tweedale
warning against strict enforcement
except on specific complaint of
town resident.
Many residents keep chickens,
several have horses and goats and
at least two hives Of bees are to be
found within the town limits.
Councilman George Fowler, who
pointed out that many of the towns
leading citizens, including until re-
Gently Mayor William McGrath
himself, wanted to raise chickens
for their own use. He proposed
substitute motion to permit keeping
chickens under license after proper
sanitary inspection. But the orig
inal ordinance offered by Council
man Harry Opitz carried.

the two girls home when the pro-
prietor of the restaurant objected
to a kiss on the cheek given one
of the girls by a soldier. They
were driven, she said, up dark

girls in the front, the other in the

Per Capita Outlay
For Education Rises
S1.68 in Fairfax
Increase in Costs Luid
To Higher SoIories
Poid to Teachers
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FAIRFAX, Va, Aug. l9.-The per
capita cost of education in Fairfax
County during the past session, ex-
elusive Of debt service and capital
outlay expenditures, showed a slight
increase over the preceding school
year, the annual report of Division
Supt. w. T. Woodson shows.
During the 1904 session the
figure was listed at s52.87 per pupil,
while for the previous year 1t was
$51.19, an increase of s1.68.
The increase in cost Of high school
education was only IA cents, jump
ing from $46.67 during l939-40 to
$46.81 last session. Elementary
education costs showed slightly
higher boost, ranging from s3l.55
during the 1939-40 school term to
s3375 during the past session.
Caused by Salary Increases.
Supt. Woodson explained the in
crease in education costs between
the two sessions was largely be-
cause of the slight increase in SAL
ary given to- teachers under the
salary scale.
At the same time, however, the
report shows the average annual
salary of teachers was only $972.10
for the past session. increasing from
$94221 the year before. A break
down of teachers salaries shows the
average of elementary teachers in
creased from $874.20 in 1939-40 to
$928.85 last term, and for high
school instructors from $1,048.67 in
1939-40 to 81, 1,08881 the past session.
The increase in attendance dur
ing the past session failed to keep
pace with the boost in enrolment
over the preceding session. En-
rollment in 1939-40 was 7,758, and
jumped BAT last session, but average
daily attendance, set at 6,4l8 the
previous year, increased only 227.
Epidemics Hit Attendance.
j. B. Armfield, jr., clerk of the
School Board. pointed out attend
ance records last session fell lower
than for a number of years as a
result of three epidemics and be-
cause of the demand for workers a
number of pupils left school before
the. session ended.
Including capital outlay. the total
cost of transporting white pupils
by bus last session was set at $897.
The total value of school prop
erty was listed in the report at
$1,453,600. The report also lists the
value of school libraries at $37, ,302.01.

meeting last night, referring dele
CATION opposing the change to the
Maryland-Na Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
The delegation. representing a
group of citizens who have made
several attempts to retain the pres
ent street names within the town,
despite acceptance of the new sys-
tenn in nearby communities, asked
that something be done before the
change is put into effect.
Town officials again emphasized
their belief that the matter was not
up to them, since the Park and
Planning Commission had been en-
powered by the Legislature to install
new street names and house num-
bers throughout the Metropolitan
Area in Prince Georges County.

resurfacing of Marion, Cedar, Block
and Baltimore streets and for Sec

nautics Administration requesting
that it require planes flying over
Hyattsville to maintain high alti-
tude. Arthur P. Gambrill, brother
of the late Representative Steven

planes fly too low over Hyattsville,

cred as possible candidates for Gov
ernor in the 1912 election.
Taking cognizance of recent poll
tical f1urries in Democratic ranks
in which the names of Gov. O'Conor
and Howard w. Jackson, Baltimore
Mayor, were mentioned for next
year, the Young Republican group
decided to poll cross-section OF
their own party.
There was no mention of compar-
ative strength or opinions on posi-
bilities of those named by the Re-
publican statement, which, however
urged "the need of getting started
early" in pre-campaign work.
Those tabled as possible guberna-
torial timber we're:
Wendell D. Allen, Baltimore. for
mer Republican city chairman:
Harry N. Batejer, Baltimore; King
man Brewster, Frederick and Wash

missioner: Galen L. TAFT. Montgom-
cry County, former State Central

Young Republicans said that in
the past the party had erred by
being inactive until a few months
before State elections, and that an
early campaign was necessary to
offset IAN incumbent administration
entrenched with patronage"
Early consideration (of candi-
dates for Governor) may bring early
agreement upon candidate and
result in avoiding a primary con-

tied new deliveries by importers and
refiners to 1910 levels. The move was
designed to prevent possible hoard
ing or speculation"

age, officials said the order would
assure normal supplies TO industrial
and civilian consumers and would
prevent further increases in some
500 900 tons of sugar already built
up as reserve supplies this year by
jobbers, industrial users and whole
salers.
Under the order. all such stocks
in excess of so days supply are frozen
Immediately and no receiver may ac-
cept delivery of additional sugar
from a refiner or importer If his
stock on hand exceeds 80 days
supply

delivery of more sugar in any one
month than he received during the
corresponding month of 1910.
The o. P. M. said normal sugar
consumption in this country was
about $500 900 tons. but that con-
sumption this year was running
about q million tons more.
