Local Government
Survey Is Proposed
In Prince Georges

The Prince Georges County Com
missioners, urged to take the lead
in move to modernize the county's
government, had under advisement
today plea to have a local gov
eminent survey made by a special
ist from the University of Maryland.
The commissioners yesterday
promised a delegation representing
seven county organizations they
would give the proposal thorough
consideration"
A request for $150,000 by Schools
Supt. G. Gardner Shugart to pay
for erection of 20 war surplus build
ings to relieve overcrowding in
schools was refused by the commits
sioners because of lack Of funds.
Put in Bond Issue.
The commissioners, however, au-
thorized inclusion of the amount in
the school bond issue which the
General Assembly will be asked to
authorize.
The survey was requested by a
delegation headed by Mrs. Reuben
Bogdanoff, president of the county
League of Women Voters. Mrs. Bag
danof asked the commissioners to
request DR.. Joseph M. Ray, director
of the Bureau of Public Administra-
ton at the university, to make the
study.
Walter F. Mulligan, president Of
the county Civic Federation. said his
group was unanimously behind the
proposal.
Joseph r. Blandford. representing
county units of the Maryland
Grange, described the present form
Of government as somewhat of a
patchwork.
Must Find Money.
Board President Harry w. Nc
! Nance said the commissioners feel
! there are many Spots in our coun-
ty government. The problem is to
| find money to make improvements" +"
Mrs. Bogandof said the commits
sioners also should request the uni
versity to make a business and eco
nomic survey to show what we
have to offer industry"
Also appearing before the COM
missioners were Mrs. r. o. Stelzer,
president of the College Park branch
of the American Association OF Uni
versity Women: Mrs. Brendan
ODwyer, representing the Fedora
ton OF Women's Clubs and the
Landover Women's Club, and Mrs.
James G. McMurtrey of the Home
makers Council.
Purchase of the metal surplus
buildings for $4,000 was authorized
by the commissioners last October.
Each building measures 20 by 100
| feet and can be divided into three
classrooms. The $l50,000 would de-
fray costs Of foundations, windows
and partitioning, and heating and
lights.
Hold Meeting Tomorrow.
A decision on the amount Of the
school bond issue may be reached
after a meeting tomorrow in An
napolis between members Of the
Legislative Committee of the County
Commissioners Association of the
Western Shore and Gov. Lane
They designated Commissioner Nor
man H. Collins and Attorney Waldo
Burnside to represent the county
along with Mr.. Shugart.
The commissioners concurred in
a proposal by Charles L. Wood,
county sanitary engineer, that the
$6 quarterly fee for individual
house trailers in the county should
be increased to $12 and that it now
be designated as "tax."
They directed that the recon-
mendation be included in a bill
which would increase the commits
sioners' regulatory powers over
trailers and trailer camps to the
entire county.

was a young man, he rOOined In the
house of a very devout Christian
This man was sincere, but I'M
lettered, and believed that the world
was coming to an end very SOON
One night, young Lincoln vas star
tied from sleep by a loud knocking
on his bedroom door. The Deacon
called out: "Arise, Abraham, the
Day of Judgment has come"
Lincoln jumped out of bed, and
looking out, saw a beautiful display
of meteors. The earth was passing
through its annual journey through
a meteor field in the heavens.
It is said that Lincoln went out
of doors and watched the unusual
display for a few minutes, then look
ing UP, noticed that the great con-
s~tellations were all in place, and
that the fixed stars seemed undis-
turbed by the show of meteors. He
went back to bed with a feeling so
he said, shat the foundations of the
universe were not thrown out Of
order by a shower of brilliant me-
teors."
Good Wisdom
II is pretty good wisdom and re-
1igion as well TO pin our faith upon
the fixed stars. There are many peo-
pie today who act as if the world Of
human beings is about to be de-
stroyed. Some meteoric leaders have
thrown our economic and social
world into chaos. However, there
are some fixed stars that seem now
as always, in place. This is a uni
verse founded upon the wisdom and
power of a Divine creator. Our little
wars do not upset the throne of God,
nor can they put out the lights that
have always shone in human hearts.
I think of the fixed star of truth.
In a lying, deceptive world, truth
GEMS TO be so inconsequential and
unimportant, but in the long run Of
human life, of a nation of mil
lions, truth will prevail. Nothing
be it a cunning Individual or a IA
ton crazed by some brilliant and
half insane man-nothing can pre-
vail against truth. It is a fixed star.
Fixed Star of Justice
I think of the fixed star of jus
tice. There is not a normal human
being but has some sense of justice.
The degree of justice will depend
upon the perversion of bad charac-
ter and ones moral training but
each sane person knows that injus-
tice finally hangs itself. A glance
at most any daily paper will prove
that injustice has a brief stay.
I think of the fixed star of love.
l am not thinking now of the tin
giles in our heart when we find our
selves Sin love-" and the delights
of human companionship. Not this,
as important and as beautiful as il
is. No, I'm thinking of the n force
that has power to make builders and
not destroyers of men love that
thinks in terms of giving as we'll a.
getting. Love that reaches with
bleeding hands to rebuild what
blind hate has torn down. Love that
is divine enough to utter a praye1
for mercy upon those who had
brought Christ to the cross.

I have been IN one Of the Chicago
criminal courts this past week, and
I visited with several men back In
the "cage" who were waiting for
their preliminary hearings. Grant
that some of them were, by nature,
weaker than the others, it is still
true that they were all there because
they confused the meanings of good
and bad.
Can you think of any prize in life
that can repay you for the loss of
Christian character? 1 do not believe
that there is. 1t seems to me that the
people who ego unconventional"
as sin is defined now by our intel
lectuals, pay too much for their
whistle and try to squeeze more
pleasure out of their nervous sys-
TENS than God, through nature, has
put into them.

Thoughts on Life
Reputation, Character
By JOHN w. HOLLAND

A RATHER disconcerting letter
came to me yesterday, a line from
which reads: eff people do not find
out the difference, what does it
matter whether I am good or bad?"
Son, before the hair greys at your
temples, you will find out the diff
ference. That is, if you have a nor
NAL set of brain cells.
Character is what we are inside;
reputation is what other people find
out or suspect about us. Reputa-
ton is the shadow of character.
Character is our natural complexion,
reputation is what we make our
faces look like by what we show
upon them. Reputation is as a check,
character is the balance in the book.
1t makes all the difference in the
world whether you are good or bad.

S~ubsoiling Practice
Saves Water
By TOM N
Wyoming PMA COMMITTEES

fOOSi dOOdt d saving IA dtc hufN-
Der of irrigations necessary to pro-
duce a crop and has made fields
easier to irrigate according TO re-
suits obtained on several farms in
Park county, Wyo. Some $50 acres Of
cropland has been SUBSIDIZED by
farmers in Park county participating
in the agricultural conservation pro-
gram administered by the Produe-
ton and Marketing administration.
The subsoiling was accomplished
on most of this acreage by the use
of an implement called a ripper,
which penetrated to a depth of Is
to 20 inches below the surface. Fur
rows were made three to four feet
apart. The performance of this prac-
tice by this method resulted in the
breaking up of the pillow sole and a
hardpan layer below the plow sole.
Four farmers on irrigated land
near Powell in Park county report
satisfactory results from subsoiling.
Earl Jones SUBSIDIZED some Is acres
OF bean ground in 1916, which re-
suited in an increase in bean yield
of 800 pounds nor per acre. 1t also
made the ground easier to irrigate
because the field would stay more
evenly moist.
Subsoils New Ground
r. w. McMath SUBSIDIZED some
new ground which he says is in
better shape now after being in
production two years than some
similar ground that had been
worked for 10 years, and was pro-
ducing a better yield per acre than
the old ground that hadn't been
SUBSIDIZED.
McMath SUBSIDIZED some "a acres
of cropland in 1916. While McMath
believes in subsoiling, he recon-
mends use of the practice only on
ground that has a top soil 3 to 4 feet
or more in depth.
Subsoiling saved up to three irri-
cations a year on the Arthur Reno
farm. Some 35 acres were SUBSIDIZED
In 1916 to a depth of 80 inches. The
main purpose for subsoiling on the
Reno farm was to loosen the ground
so that alkali could be washed from
the soil which was accomplished.
There was nc apparent difference in
crop yields from the SUBSIDIZED land.
Washing the alkali from the soil
was especially significant for in a
short time this land would have
been out of production.
Reduces Irrigation
Results on the Richard Shaulis
farm were similar to the others. The
SUBSIDIZED land produced a crop will
: two less i~rrigations a year besides
} better crop yield.
~Subsoiling of the quality per
formed by these farmers may onl,
be accomplished through the use o
heavy equipment. Such equipmen
is available on a custom basis. Har
old Carter has several large siz
crawler type tractors and a rippe
that are available to anyone want
Z ing to do subsoiling as well as othe
equipment useful for land levelin
and other dirt moving practices.

thought or action that ov~er-stretches

In the same mail came a letter
from another young man, with this
fine line of faith in it: 81 do not
have time to sort out all the truth
in the different creeds of the
churches, but I want to know what
my mother believed and lived by.
Her character has always seemed to
me to be a moral miracle in living"
Come to think of it-goodness is
the one thing over which the soma
of men have not quarreled much.
When I was a child I used to
worry a little about the day Of
judgment, which I heard preached
with much vehemence in our little
home church. I am not scared about
it any more, for I have learned that
the dividing line in human destiny,
anywhere in Gods universe, is the
line which separates goodness from
badness.

Little Bird viii Tell

Another Bible writer said: Course

carry it, and that which hath wings
shall give it voice."
That's where Jul saying, "a little
bird told me-" came from.
I asked the president of the bank,
where I do my rather slender bank
ing business, "What is the best Sc
curity a man can give for borrow
ing money!" He said, "The Christian

So, my dear young man, go
straight, and you will go farther. Be
the cleanest minded youth you can
become with Gods help, and ere
many days pass, you will know for
a certainty that it does pay to go
straight.

Use of Kerosene

Misuse Of kerosene, or coal oil,
particularly in rural areas, causes
hundreds of deaths each year. One
common and dangerous practice is
the use of kerosene to speed up a
slow fire. Kerosene vaporizes when
poured into a warm stove, and this
vapor may explode, igniting cloth
ing and furniture in the room. Kero-
sene should never be used to start
fires.
