Sleet Storm
Slows Down
Xmas Travel
Rain On Top OF Snow And
Ice Keeps Many From Join
ing Family Groups For
Christmas Dinners

Rain, sleet and ice kept Christ
mas traffic at an alltime low on
Tuesday and prevented the gath
ering of many family groups
where members of the family live
distance apart. Radio warnings
of the dangers Of traffic kept many
off the roads even after the warm
rain turned much of the ice to
slush. For the raost part those
who ventured out drove slowly, but
later in the afternoon when the
youngsters started out number
skidded off the road and landed in
a ditch where their cars remained
until pulled out by truck or tract
or. The police reported no serious
accidents, few disorders and in
fact a very quiet Christmas.
Radio warnings Of the impend-
ing sleet thinned the attendance
at midnight Christmas Eve SER
vices throughout the county, and
the icy conditions on Christmas
morning kept many from scheduled
services
In contrast with the past several
years when there were no outside
lights the outdoor Christmas trees
this year added note Of gayety
to the trees and shrubbery glazed
with ice. Many servieemen, some
recently discharged Others on fur
Tough, were able to spend the holi-
day with their families. The men,
DRY of those who will not return,
however, clouded most every family
reunion, for there are few fam
lilies that have not lost relative
of some degree.

In Assessment
Appear Before Commission
ers At Wednesday Meeting.
Several Appointments Made

The County Commissioners at
their regular meeting held yester-
day in Rockville heard a protest
from B. w. Parker and George
Sacks, at the reassessment valua-
ton placed on a farm owned by
them at Potomac. According to
Mr.. Parker the taxes on the farm
which is now rented to Joe Harris,
will be doubled by the change. The
owners explained that the land
has always been used for farming
and they think it should continue
to be assessed as farm land.
Wilton T. Allen. supervisor of
assessments and Sterling Maddox
who heads the assessment Office ex-
planned that land surrounding the
213 acre farm had sold recently
for prices ranging from 5000 an
acre to $500 an acre, thereby auto
matically raising the value of the
said property. The commissioners
took the matter under consider
alton.
The board sitting as district
council for the Maryland Wash
ington regional district in the
county, passed an amendment per-
hitting off street parking on prop
erty zoned A, B, or c, if it is ad-
jacent to or across the alley or
street from property zoned Com
rnercial d. or Industrial E, without
further appeal to the coming board.
George w. Mathews, of Chevy
Chase, was appointed county
chairman of the drive for used
clothing for war torn countries

the very successful drive conduct
ed last year.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK FOR 1916
By: Roger w. Babson

By: Roger w. BabsOn
The great event of 1916 was the
ending of World War II. A great
event of 1916 will be the start at
Harvesting atomic engery to bring
about a new industrial era.
GENERAL BUSINESS
A year ago the United States
Babsonchart Index Of the Physical
Volume of Business finally regis
tered 145. Today it is estimated at
1913 justifying my forecast of a
year ago. The Canadian Babson-
chart Index of the Phyical Volume
Of Business finally registered 205 a
year ago; today it is estimated at
100. 1916 will SHOW further over
all decline in both United States
and Canadian business. Further
more, most Of the following COM
ments apply to both countries.
The re-conversion of industry
from war to peace business will in
crease during much Of 1916. How
ever, time required for re-conver-
sion will not be as great as most
people believe.
Inventories, quoted both at their
price values and their volumes, will
increase during 1916. Both raw
material piles and manufactured
goods will be larger.
COMMODITY PRICES
Some rationing may continue
through most Of 1916; but it will
rapidly be eliminated. Price re-

Mile O. Dimes
Drive To Start
January IA
Alfred c. Paul, Bethesda,
Chairman For Sixth Con-
secutive Year

Montgomery County's annual
miles of Dimes" Drive to raise
funds for furthering the battle
against infantile paralysis will be
conducted from January 14th thru
January Both, it has been an
nouneed by Alfred C. Paul, Beth
esda, who for the sixth straight
year is chairman Of the committee
in charge.
Climaxing the drive will be the
annual Franklin ID. Roosevelt
Birthday Ball on the evening of
January goth at the Silver Spring
Armory. Various community So
cial functions will also be held.
Chairman Paul stated That
Montgomery County raised $14,-
100 last year, the highest total
since the beginning of the annual
drive about 10 years ago. Half of
this sum was sent to New York
for use in the National Program
against Infantile Paralysis, the
other half was retained for similar
work in Montgomery County.
Senator George A. Radcliffe,
who is state Chairman of the drive,
recently said that "for every dollar
contributed to the national pro
gram by Montgomery County peo-
pie, they get three back in value
through the excellent research
work on infantile paralysis by
Johns Hopkins University in Balti-
MORE"
The Montgomery County pro-
ject includes the payment of hos
pital bills for children stricken
with infantile paralysis and the
holding of semi-annual clinics for
crippled children such as that
held last week at Montgomery
County General Hospital.
During last year there were A
infantile paralysis cases in Mont
gomery county and 81 so far this
year. At present there are three
infantile cases hospitalized under
the "Mile Of Dimes program, but
at one time during 1915 there were
IA cases.
So far this year $4,000 has
been spent by the Montgomery
County Legion Council in it's in
fantile paralysis program, and by
the close of this year, this total
will aggregate $4,000, Chairman
Paul stated. He also said that it
was noteworthy that even in the
expenditure of some $4,000 this
year, the entire total expenses for
administration of this fund in the
county, will amount to a mere
$14.00. Most of this was spent
for postage, kilograms, ETC., since
all of the services of personnel is
purely voluntary.

not only risked his own life but
the lives of many others. The
American public is interested in
the doings of the President. His
doings are too much in the lime
light to let his abuse of position
and privilege go unchallanged.
Mr.. Humans trip home by
plane was not a display of
sportsmanship but rather dis
play of authority. No plane
should have taken off on Christ

There is one phase of the
aftermath of war which has
been given much attention and
for which the public needs a
scolding. 1t is the criticism Of
the claimed slowness with which
our Army and Navy are releas-
ing men. 1t does seem slow and
yet more than half Of the men
have been discharged. Men
are being brought back to our
Shores faster than they can be
sent home. Scenes on the West
Coast where thousands Of men
are waiting on ships because
transportation is not available
to send them home is the
army's answer to criticisms.
