staff, the State Roads Commission is
seeking out whatever capable men are
available and putting them to work
as quickly as possible.
Maryland's two toll bridges-the
Susquehanna River Bridge at Havre
de Grace and the Potomac River
Bridge at Morgantown-have produc-
ed such good revenues since they were
opened by the State that bondholders
are going to have their investments
liquidated, it has been announced by
William A. Codd, Chief Auditor of
the State Roads Commission.
Revenues have so far exceeded es-
Inmates that the Commission has de-
cided to call in the $6,000,000 in
bridge revenue bonds sold last year,
and to issue new bonds at lower
rate of interest.
The refunding bond will be sold to
the bidder offering to purchase them
at the lowest interest rate to the
State, the interet in no event to ex-
coed three per cent. Preent bonds
pay three and three-quarters per cent.
Figures released by Mr.. Codd show
that the Susquehanna Bridge took in
$68,643.22 in April in 365,258 toll
transactions, as compared with $49,-
314.O8 in March in 261,6 GA toll trans
actions. Since it was opened August
18th, the Susquenhanna Bridge has
produced more than enough revenue
to pay the debt service on both
bridges.
The Potomac Bridge produced SILL
O73.50 in April from 1913 transac-
tions, compared with $7,158,90 in
March from 7,441 toll transactions.

Forty-seven projects in all sections
of the State, calling for an expendi-
ture of $5,262, 839.41, are under CON
struction by the State Roads Commits
sion, according to Major Ezra b.
Whitman, Chairman. This work rep
resents what is perhaps the greatest
activity the State Roads Commission
has been engaged in since its crea-
ton.
Many stable projects are being
planned by the Commission, in addi-
ton to those already in work, and it
is expected that there will not be a
let-down for some time.

problems of major magnitude than
ever BEFORE" Major Whitman de-
clares. eve not only have the prob

to modern standards, but also we
must build military access highways
and relieve the intensive activity
which has been created in our indus
trial areas"
State Roads Commission officials
are hopeful that the Federal Govern
ment shortly will provide some of the
$11 100000 that will be needed for
the military "access" roads through
out the State.
Work is being rushed to complete
plans for the North Point extension
to relieve congestion to and from
Sparrows Point; for the conversion
of Eastern Avenue into dual high
way to speed the movement Of traffic
to and from the Glenn l.. Martin
plant; on the building of the link con-

Plans on the new bridge to be built
over Back River, which is to be the

to be finished shortly, according to

FULL COOPERATION
REGISTRANTS AND
EMPLOYERS ASKED

Full cooperation of registrants and
their employers with their local Sc
lective Service boards is essential for
the proper placing of each available
man in the National Defense program
1t. Col. Henry C. Stanwood, State Di-
rector of Selective Service, declared
this week.
Much of the trouble in classifying
workmen," he said, results from lack
of understanding by registrants and
their employers that they, too, have
a responsibility to help the Selective
Service System function to the best
advantage of their country"
Pointing out that, through mis-
guided patriotism, many registrants
and employers do not request occupa-
tional deferment, Colonel Stanwood
said that in some cases, also, en-
ployers have failed to assist the local
board by giving complete information
about registrants, when the employer
alone knew that these registrants
were essential to National Defense in
their civilian occupations. Employ
ers should advise local boards con-
corning necessary men" in their en-
ploy, even when the men themselves
fail to ask for deferment, he assert
ed.
Colonel Stanwood emphasized that:
Employers should put the facts be-
fore the local boards at the time the
registrant sends in his QUESTIONABLE,
and not wait until after the man has
been classified, as local boards can
not reach a just decision when they
do not have all the information. When
a request is received after the regis
trant is classified, extra work and
expense to the Government is involv-
ed; and as a result quotas for induc-
ton cannot be filled. The local
boards are willing and ready to CO.
operate with industry, but they must
have closer cooperation from indus
try"
Tt is the duty of each registrant
to search his own qualifications and
patriotically answer the question:
where can I best serve my Nation
now?" In making this analysis, the
registrant should consult the Regis

Eastern Shore Canning Co., Machi-
pongo, Friday, June End, by Chas'
w. Boss, Eastville.
The latter was travelling south and
returning to his home when about
11:3O p. M. he found the colored man
lying near the highway. Stopping
his machine and going to a nearby
phone, he notified Sheriff George T.
Turner.
The Northampton officer upon ar
irving on the scene found the man
was dead upon his arrival. He had
been stabbed in the throat. North
ampton county authorities took
charge of the body after being unsuc-
cessful in trying to locate his surviv-
ors.
It was understood in the Machi-
pongo area, that he had only been
on the Shore a few days, and that
he had had trouble with an unidenti-
fled negro, not a native of that Sec
ton.

Jeff carried the ak and gripped my

armed with something a lot easier to

Palestine for Jews
In New World Order
Indorses Suggestion

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley tonight called
for restoration of Palestine to the
Jewish people when the time comes
for the building up of new world"
and Endorsed the suggestion that a
Jewish military force be established
in the Near East.
Speaking at a meeting marking
the oath anniversary of the BalfOur
Declaration, Senator Barkley said
declaration "was not only pledge
to the Jewish people. it was an in
ternational pledge approved by the
nations of the world and embodied
in the mandate for Palestine which
the League of Nations intrusted to
Great Britain to administer"
He added that lit is only natural
that We should look forward to the
full realization of it's intent and
purpose"
Issued in 1917.
The declaration. issued by the
British war cabinet on November 2,
1917. and signed by Arthur James
Balfour. then Foreign Secretary. was
the legal foundation for a Jewish
national home in Palestine
The declaration was indorsed by
81 nations, including the United
States.
Commenting on a resolution pre-
sented to the meeting urging the
British government to allow forma-
ton of a Jewish army, Senator
Rarkley said:
Il trust that the aspirations for
the establishment of a Jewish army
in defense of liberty may be
realized"
Part Of Larger Failure.
Sir Norman Angel. British liberal
and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize,
said the failure of Britain to achieve
completely its project in Palestine
was part Of larger failure-the
( failure of all nations of Christen-
dom to fulfill obligations which GO
with the enjoyment of certain
rights.
/ The tragedy of Palestine" he
declared, is part OF the general
/ tragedy of appeasement, of the be-
lief that it is better TO come to a
bargain with terrorists, with an evil
and violent minority, than it is to
help defend their victims. Certain
British governments have thought
it better to appease the Arabs than
to defend the victims OF their vio-
lence and blackmall" "
