Meet Cet-Rich-Quick Sholtz

TNRRE's nothin' like gettin in on the ground
i floor in these changin' times.
Every 80 often you see where fellow has put
in bid to run helioopter line say from the ball
park to the middle of the town. An you hear
about people buyin' the stpck of some company
which is goin' to boom aftef the war.
One guy in here not long ago was lookin into
an investment in honeymoon tours. He figured
out that good deal of the Army would no
more than get out of this until they'd
be plungin' into matrimony.
Well. that got the talk around to Niagara Falls.
Then somebody said Niagara was wearin' away
at the edge which made it move backwards.
Big chunks bust off and fall down into the stream
bed below the Falls an get washed away.
NExr mornin' after this enlightenin' discussion
Horseneck Sholtz the telephone lneman, come
rlshin' in. "Waly," he says, Il got a million
dollar idear'
He edges over close 50 nobody can overhear him
an steal his fortune before he makes it.
How would it be" Horseneck asks, IF we was
to 60 up-rver about five miles from Niagara Falls
an get US an option on piece of land? Then when
the Falls moves back, we've got her right in the
yard
I'VE could charge admission - say half buck
for grownups an maybe give discount to honey
moon couplesr' Horseneck finishes up. lookin'
like Mr. J. P. Morgan's bookkeeper.
What the view was better on the other side
by them" l asks him.
ssSHUcKs," he answers. Don't be hog! Give
some other guy chance on the other side it
belongs to Canada anyway"
How soon you figure we would have to grab
off the site before somebody beats us to t9' say
to Horseneck. "Maybc we better 60 find out
how fast she's reccdin'."
So we 20 ask Prof Dolger over at the university
He tells us Niagara wears off little over two foot

Commissioners Act
To Tax Howard U.S.
Rented Properties

The Commissioners took steps to-
day which may lead to placing ap-
proximately 100000 worth of How
ard University property amounting
to annual taxes of $4,000, on the
tax rolls of the city because the
property is either being rented or
is not being used for educational
purposes"
The city heads approved two rec
concentrations of Richmond B.
Keech, corporation counsel: One,
that the tax assessor proceed
with an investigation of
all real property owned by Howard
University; and, two, that part of
the property not being used for edu-
cational purposes or exempted un-
der an act of December, 1912, be
assessed for the fiscal year begin
ming July l."
Mr.. Keech said records disclose
that about 129 houses, apartments
and stores are now being rented by
the university. He said the exact
amount of the tax on these proper
ties would depend on the assessors
investigation ito determine which
property is being rented" At pres
ent, Mr.. Keech said the university
holds title to S5,0O0,0o0 worth of
real estate.

land reached the conclusion that
diversified holdings throughout the
District of Columbia were never in
tended to be exempt from real
estate taxes, and that all properties
not actually used for educational
purposes should be returned to
taxable status" Mr.. Keech inform
led the Commissioners.
But the board recommended that
the assessor hold in allegiance the
actual return of this property to
the tax rolls until final determina-
ton of the taxable status of all the
property involved be determined on
appeal to the corporation counsel.
THE matter was appealed to this
Office and was pending at the time
of the passage of the act OF Decem-
ber "a, 1912. Therefore, none of the
property owned by Howard Univer-
sity has been returned to the tax
rolls"
Other Properties Taxed.
The act of 1912 restored to the
city taX-exempt list non-profit in
St1tutlonS declared taxable by the
Commissioners, hospitals, charitable,
religious, educational and scientific
institutions, which had been de-
clared taxable.
Mr.. Keech told the Commissioners
that the question for determination
was whether an act of 1882 was
broad enough to exempt all proper
ty owned by Howard University
from taxation, regardless of the use
made of such property" Mr.. Keech
said he believed doubt regarding in
depreciation of the statute should
be resolved in favor of taxing the
property not used for educational
purposes.

Here Are Suggestions to
Make Casters Happy

The rod should not be brought far
back over the shoulder before cast
ing, since this frequently results in
snagging the line or fly. Instead
keep the elbow close to the side,
stressing wrist, rather than arm, &C.
ton in casting.
Other suggestions to casters are:
Rewax rods two or three times
during the season, and revarnish
when cracks appear. Rewrap with
silk thread when old wrappings
show sign of wear and guides grow
loose.
Wash lines with mild soap and
then rub with felt until warm, be-
fore using for first time. To close
breaks coat silk lines with paraffin
in cake form, then rub with wool or
paper. Clean and dry lines in loose
coils after every trip.
To avert rust and damage from
grit disassemble reels, clean, and
cover with thin film of oil. Keep
gears creased. Leaders should be
saved and retied, and hooks from
old flies may be retied with new
lures.

EGG PRODUCTION

Maryland egg production continu-
ed on the increase during September,

compared with "a million year ago.
THUS, the total Maryland egg produc-
ton from Jan. to Oct. was report
ed at 372,000,000 eggs, while the fig
ure for the corresponding period last
year was 337,OO0,00O eggs. The
number of eggs per 100 layers this
year has averaged 1,06S, compared
with 963 last year.
The number of layers on hand in
Maryland during September was re-
ported as 2,S13,000. A year ago there
were 100000 layers on hand in the

WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK
HELPS TO TIGHTEN LOAD

You will tighten your daily routine
of busting and cleaning, says Helen
Irene Smith, Extension home man
agement specialist of the University
of Maryland, if you take page from
the lives of the Seven Dwarfs and
whistle or sing at your labors. What
you think as you go about your daily
tasks will greatly affect the way you
work. A cheerful attitude helps less
en- fatigue and makes homework go
faster.
Many a war plant has found that
workers produce more when they
work to music, SO provide yourself
with the stimulus of the rythms or
your best loved tunes by turning on
the radio mornings while making the
beds and washing the dishes. Then
too, you can do much of your plan
ming while busting and cleaning and
washing. While your hands are busy,
keep your mind at work on such
things as family menus, the family
garden, that birthday party for little
Sue, or the picnic you are planning
for the family on Sunday.
Another way to tighten your house
hold routine is to search constantly
for ways to improve your work hab-
it's. Become your own efficiency ex-
pert, in other words, and watch for
short cuts and easier methods to get
your tasks accomplished. Observe the
movements necessary for each task,
cut out all unnecessary movement,
and substitute simpler methods wher-
ever possible.
TIE drudgery of housework will
vanish. says Miss Smith, if you will
think pleasant constructive thoughts
while you work and make of your
task an ever constant challenge to
your own ingenuity for finding new
and better method for doing each job.

TURKEYS AND CRANBERRY
SAUCE

YOU'RE beginning to think now,
aren't you, of whipping up that
Thanksgiving dinner?
Here are your prospects, outlined
by the boss of the nations pantry,
the War Food Administration:
Turkey-There won't be any over
supply in spite of an expected record
production. The military services
want lot more turkey than last
there'll probably be enough to meet
demand Elsewhere there many not
be enough.
Onions, beets, rutabagas, carrots
don't expect trouble here. There's a
good supply.
Beans-You'd better look for the
canned kind. The supply is pretty
good. There'll be few fresh beans.
Cranberries-The crop, short, is
only about kali of last years. Mostly
you'll have to use fresh cranberries.
The canned berries have gone large
ly into the war services.
Potatoes-A little short for Mo-
vember
Sweet potatoes-These are short
in the Middle States, worse in the
West, better in the East.
Peas-Youll find practically no
fresh peas.
Cabbages-Not so good. They
won't be plentiful
Until military demand is met, the
big producers must sell their turkeys
to the military services since they
have to ship them ahead of the holt
days to the worlds distant points.
But-whereas last year the mill
tary demands were filled by Oct. rs,
this year the military is still taking
turkeys and there is no sign of when
they will have had enough.

DOGS EXERCISE
Regular Walks Will Keep Him
And Owner In Shape

Coordinate your own exercise with
that of your dog and you'll both be
the better off for it, advises the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
The dogs health requires sunshine
and fresh air as much as yours does
Swimming or jumping is wonderful
for him if he enjoys it, but regular
walking will keep him in good con-
dition. Regularity in exercising is
most important. It is far better to
take him half a dozen blocks each
day than half dozen miles on Sum-
days. Extended walks should not be
undertaken Immediately after meals,
and he should always be taken out
on his leash. If he tends to put on
weight, reduce his food intake or step
up his exercise. If it is impossible
for you to give him daily walking
exercise. a device like that shown in
the illustration will provide it for
him in complete safety.
Not only your dogs size, but his
temperament and the food he con-
sumes have bearing on the amount
of exercise he should have. In pri-
meval days the dog was forced to

RIVAL FLY KILLERS

The postwar outlook for flies is
serious-for the .flies-and keeps
looking worse and worse, according
to entomologists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
For years, pyrethrum has been
known to have power to knock down
flies on contact. Pyrethrum has been
the basis of most fly sprays. Since the
war started new chemical, DOT, has
appeared, and tests show that if
sprayed on walls or screens it will
kill flies more slowly but just as
surely. One spraying remains effec-
tive for as long as three months.
Now Federal entomologists an
nounce that after tests of more than
$50 plants for fly poisons, they have
discovered a plant native to Mexico
that contains substance even more
poisonous to flies, plant for plant,
than pyrehtrum.
With three substances as rival fly
killers after the war, the life OF tie
intruding fly is likely to prove haz-
ardous in American homes, factor
les, and dairy barns. Postwar homes
are likely to be cleaner, more com
Portable, healthier, the entomologists
predict.

PLANS FOR HIGHWAY WORK
Program Includes 81 Projects AT
Cost OF 100000

Detailed plans have been complet-
cd nv State Roads Commission forces
for 10 projects comprising 5O miles
of roads estimated to cost S7,3OO,-
600, Final rights-of-way plats have
been prepared for all of these, and
negotiations are under way by Held
men.
Surveys have been completed and
final plans are in course OF preara-
ton for ten additional projects total
ing 38 miles estimated to involve an
outlay of $6,70O,OOO.
On il other projects totaling ~
miles of highways, field surveys nave
been completed and preliminary
plans are being prepared. This group
of projects will entail an estimated
expenditure of $2,800,OOO.
Ezra B. Whitman. chairman OF the
commission, months ago gave orders
to rush" the preparation OF surveys
and plans with view to developing
big backlog so that at the end of the
war. should special Federal funds be
made available-as is indicated-tne
State will be in a position to adver-
tise for bids promptly and to award
contracts.
In September and October, con-
tracts were awarded for 13 road and
bridge projects totaling $1,3O7,2l3,
the rights-of-ways and incidental
costs of which will bring the total
outlay to approximately $1,5oO,OOO.
On August 31;1944, the last date
of record-the commission had cash
on hand totaling 14,467,9O5.S9,
William A. Codd, chief auditor, re-
vealed.
By the end of the current fiscal
year, Mr.. Codd estimates, this figure
will climb to $17,500,O00.
One of the factors responsible for
the strong cash position OF the com
mission, Mr.. Codd explained, was
higher tkan anticipated returns from
gasoline tax revenue.
It was estimated that revenue from
the gasoline tax in fiscal year 1914
would be 65 per cent OF the receipts
from the same source in the fisca'
year 1871, he explained. Actually
gasoline tax receipts ran to approx
mately 70 per cent or about 10 per
cent above estimates.
In addition to the monies anticl-
pated from the State and Federal
sources by the fiscal years end, MI.
Codd points out that If additional
funds should be needed, the State has
authority to sell $2,O0O,O0O in bonds
remaining out of an authorized issue
of $11,OOO,000 bonds approved for
sale in 1941.s
BY June 80, 1945, the State Roads
Commissioner the basis of antici-
pated receipts--expects to have avail
able for the use of the county high
way systems approximately $S,6l5,-
O07.40.
Cash on hand for the counties now
totals 81, 925. 76a.4s, with obligations
of $1,196,6 25.8S to be satisfied. but
by June 80 an additional $685.

May GiUe Leaves

Men Of 19Sth Are Eligi-

Under New Plan

Officers and men of the 19Stf
Coast Artillery A. A. Regiment. for
mer Delaware National Guard out
fit, who have been in the South
Pacific for two years will be ELI
gible for furlough at home on a
troop rotation plan to be inaugur-
ated by the War Department.
The 19Sth Coast Artillery, induct-
ed into federal service in September
of 1910, went on foreign duty in the
South Pacific in January, 1912.
While requirements have reduc-
cd the Delaware officers and en-
listed men of the regiment to a
small percentage of the total. these
men will now be eligible for leaves
IL the plan of the War Department
becomes operative.
Lieutenant General Millard f.
Harmon, commanding general of
Army Air Forces of the South Pa
cific. said last Friday such a pro-
gram will begin with men who have
been in the area two years or long
er, but he warned that it would be
tempered by combat requirements
and transportation facilities, and
that it could not be construed as
promising a furlough for all men
of two years service in the South
Pacific.
