Pork Barrel Legislation

The term "pork barrel" legisla-
ton came into being when the first
bill for harbor improvements was be-
fore congress in the early winter OF
1928. Opponents of the bill charged
that its advocates promoted it solely
to gain popularity among their con-
stituents at home by accomplishing
something which would benefit only
certain communities. They COM
pared the onslaught on the federal
treasury to the rush made by the
slaves on Southern plantations when
the pork barrel was opened. After
wards river and harbor improve
ments bills were called facetiously
''pork barrel bills" Later the term
was extended to any legislation al
legedly passed for the purpose OF
political patronage. The total con-
tributions to campaign fund some
times are called the pork barrel.

Home Chicken Raising
Will Meet Meat Need

Many people will have to raise
their own backyard flocks of chickens
if they wish to be sure of an ample
supply of poultry and eggs under
wartime conditions, it is generally
believed.
The shortage of other meats is
resulting in an increased demand
for poultry products which can be
met only if more chickens are
raised.
While an increase from the farms
and from commercial poultry rails
ers is in sight, many families can
resort again to the backyard flock
to supply their own and some of
their neighbors' needs.
It requires only small amount
of labor for a backyard flock of
chickens, and, If they are properly
housed and managed, they can be
made constant source of food for
the family.
Twelve to 20 pullets when produc-
ing and well cared for should pro-
vide an average size. family with
sufficient eggs.

History Proves Calamity
OF the Russian Soldier

The Russian soldier is additionally
one of the worlds best, and the fight
ing qualities he is showing today are
what one should expect from him in
view of his past record:
One of the greatest achievements
of the Russian soldier occurred in
1912 when a Russian army under
King Alexander Nevsky decisively
defeated German offensive against
Russia. The Soviet government, on
July 20, 1912, recognized this achieve
ment by creating the Alexander
Nevsky decoration made Of silver
for the highest display Of bravery.
Berlin had been stormed by the
Russians in the 18th century. On
October 8, 1850, Russian army en-
tered Berlin after King Frederick the
Great was defeated at Kunersdorf.
The keys to the city were turned
over to the Russian commander and
they have been kept up to the pres
ent time in the Kazan cathedral at
Leningrad.
The Russians under General Su-
vorov were the first to defeat Napo-
Icons army, as early as 1899, at
Trebia and Now in Italy. Suvorov
led more battles than probably any
other man in history and reputedly
was never defeated.

FOREST CONSERVATION IN
MARYLAND

When Governor O'Conor few
days ago signed the Forest Conser-
vancy Districts Act passed by the re-
cent Legislature, Maryland assumed
undisputed leadership in the fight
for forest conservation in the east
ern half of the country, asserts State
Forester Joseph F. Kaylor in a spec
press.
First of its kind to be enacted by
State Legislature east of the Miss
issippi, the law empowers the Com
mission of State Forests and Parks
to appoint in each of four districts
forestry board of five members
which, after public hearings, will es-
tablish rules for scientific forest
management in its area, and super
wise their application. The fact that
the Commission of State Forests and
Parks, as provided by the law which
cerated it, includes representatives
of the Farm Bureau, the State
Grange, and the lumber industry,
while district boards, as provided in
the present act, are of like compo-
sition, gives assurance to the timber
land owner, Mr.. Kaylor points out,
that administration of the law rests
with those who understand his prob
lens, Members of the Commission
of State Forests and Parks are John
M. Nelson, Jr., of Eccleston, chair
man: State Senator Bernard I. Con-
der, of Oakland, who sponsored the
bill in the Legislature; ]. Wilson
Lord, of Ellicott City, representing
the Farm Bureau; and Sydney d.
Poverty, of Bel Air, prominent
lumberman.

dier-students in such a manner as to

NEW METHOD TO SPEED MAIL

The new method of speeding up
mail deliveries, through addition of
a branch post Office number to the
address on mail for delivery in large
cities, is being placed in operation
rapidly. Reports from many cities
indicate that 1t has been received
enthusiastically by the press, post
masters, business concerns and the
public
Within few days after initiation
of the plan, under instructions of
Postmaster General Frank c. Walk
er, nearly all the postmasters in the
large cities affected had assigned
postal unit numbers to be added to
their addresses, and a considerable
volume of mail already was carrying
the numbers assigned.
The new system speeds up the sep
aration of mail for distribution to
branch offices and permits much
more rapid handling of mail by in
experienced postal clerks, thousands
of whom have been employed to re-
place personnel who have gone into
the armed forces and into war indus
tries.
Rapid increase in the volume of
mail and the loss of some thirty
thousand postal employees to the
armed forces made it necessary to
adopt the plan, in the interest of
accurate, efficient mail service and
for the relief of postal personnel who
are carrying an extremely heavy bur-
den of work. The average work week
in the service now is about So hours,
and in many post offices, employees
are working 10 and IL hours a day,
seven days a week, because of local
shortages of personnel.
The number placed after the name
of the city indicates the branch post
in which delivery is made. Each resi-
dent of the large cities is asked by
his postmaster to add the postal unit
number to his return address, and
to notify all to whom he writes that
his address is not complete without
the number.
Residents of small cities, towns
and rural regions should inquire of
their correspondents in the large
cities concerning the number assign
ed to the city residents branch post
Office so that the mail may be expe-
dited. The degree to which mail will
be speeded depends upon the extent
to which the numbers are used by
the mailers.
Under the new plan, mail that is
sent to large cities, carrying the pos
tai unit number, will be distributed
more quickly than is possible now
and with much less strain on postal
clerks.
