L
BALTIMORE, July 27.-Sixty two
Baltimore horsemen, composing a
special service patrol, are ready to
volunteer their services as mounted
minutemen, new auxiliary of the
Coast Guard formed to assist in
protecting the Nations sea coasts.
Meeting last night, the riders, who
own their own horses, agreed to call
on Comdr. r. j. Mauerman, Coast
Guard chief, when he can confer
with them.
Comdr. Mauerman explained Sat-
urday that the new civilian patrol
would be uniformed, supervised by
Coast Guard authorities and would
guard the coasts against the landing
of enemy agents or other enemy
activities on the Nations shores.
Capt. Mounts Heads Riders.
Capt G. Eugene Mounts, un-
attached officer of the Maryland
State Guard, who heads the So rid
ers, said the patrol was originally
part of the State Guard, but was
mustered out when no State funds
were provided for its continuance
and no place for mounted organ
ization was found in the State
Guard.
Since being mustered out, how
ever, the horsemen have been drill
ing twice a week. They pay their
own grooming, feeding and stable
bills and are uniformed.
Meanwhile. Humphrey S. Finney,
field secretary Of the Maryland
Horse Breeders Association, issued
| a call for farmers and horse owners
throughout the State, especially on
| its Atlantic Coast, to join the
mounted minutemen.
Sailors on Horseback"
He said all riders of horses,
whether or not they owned mounts,
would be eligible for the new civilian
patrol.
Mr.. Finney said there was possi-
bility of mounted patrol for Balti-
more's harbor as result of the
| organization of sailors on horse
I back"
| He added most horses in the State
were to be found inland-in Balti-
more, Hartford and Howard Coun-
ties-and that horse owners in these
areas or farther inland-Western
Maryland, for instance-could lend
| horses to persons living near the
Atlantic shores of Maryland or in
Southern Maryland or on the East
ern Shore.

Licenses for taxicabs and taxi
drivers in Arlington County would
be required under q proposed plan
to regulate taxicab service which
has been submitted by the County

Commonwealth's Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas for approval, it
was announced today.
If approved, the plan will be
presented to the Board OF Super
visors for adoption. At present taxis
In the county are subject only to
State registration.
The regulations were prepared
by the commission following a
study designed to pave the way for
county control Of taxi service and
rates. They are similar to those
now In effect in the District and
in Danville, Va. There have been
numerous complaints of overcharg-
ing and lack OF supervision of taxi.
cabs in the county.
The proposed regulations include
the setting up Of physical and moral
standards for cab drivers as well
as safety tests which the drivers
would have to undergo to qualify
for licenses.
Establishment Of standard taxi
rates and installation of a zone
rate system also is being considered
by the commission.
Formulation Of additional taxi
cab regulations will be considered
at meeting Of the utilities body
at o'clock tonight In the county
courthouse.
The group also will discuss the
Office OF Defense Transportation
proposal to halt Arnold -operated
buses at the District line at Ross

Army Hopes 10 Clear
Potomac Of Chestnut,
Within -Four Years
Six Cutters Eradicate
1900 Acres Of Growth
| During Summer

With about. one third of the Po-
tomac Rivers water chestnuts
cleared as the current season for
fighting the growth is about to end,
Army engineers now believe that
with little luck they will be able
to eradicate the menace in all the
main beds within the next three or
four years
Even then, the fight won't be over
The river will have to be ,,atroled for
five or six years after that to get rid
Of any growth that may have been
overlooked and to destroy new
plants that may spring up from
seed
Engineers already have cleared
the stream to the Fort Hunt wharf
on the Virginia side and to Fort
Washington on the Maryland shore
Unless the Army has trouble GETTING
men to do the work. the liver bed
around Mount Vernon ought to be
cleared OF the troublesome growth
next season.
One Theory Spiked.
How the botanical pest ,ver got
into the river in the first place is a
matter Of conjecture. The Agricul-
ture Department emphatically as
serts that one story brunted about
that. the chestnuts were planted by
the department to provide duck
food and to fight pollution is pure
fantasy. More likely is the tale that
Washington resident brought some
OF the chestnutS from China in 1919
and planted them in her fish pond
from whence the SEEDS were carried
into the river. Anyway. the growth
is Chinese in origin and not Japa-
nese as many local citizens have
been led to believe.
When 1t became apparent a few
years ago that the water chestnuts
were here to stay, the Agriculture
Department looked into the pos
sibilities OF converting them into
something useful. After lots of
tests had been made, chemistry and
engineering experts in the depart
ment came to the conclusion that
about all the chestnuts were good for
was chop suey-and they wouldn't
recommend that because of the
polluted condition OF the river.
Feared Malaria Fever.
Three years ago, the Army be-
gan worrying about the growth
bringing malaria fever into camps
contiguous to the Potomac. Army
engineers were assigned to find the
best way Of eradicating the spread
ing menace. They finally hit on
the use Of underwater cutters aided
by manual removal in small isolated
areas.
The cutters were constructed on
scows, 12-foot sickle bars are
dropped into the water. These bars
are adjustable to the depth re-
quired. Six such cutters, at cost
Of $2.500 each, are in operation dur
ing the water chestnut growing
season between the middle OF Nav
and mid-July. Late In July, the
plants begin to seed and cutting
operations are halted.
Cutting operations began on a
large scale in 1910. There were
5000 acres OF chestnuts carpeting
the river then, and about 1000 acres
were removed during 1910 and l94l.
Engineers estimate another 1,5o0
acres will have been cleared when
this season ends.
Not only has the pest made nav
igation of small craft tortuous and
attracted mosquitoes, but it has
caused pollution and choked out
other vegetation essential for fish
and wildlife.
