The Advance is glad to nee a

of the Chamber of Commerce.
The change in the Norfolk South

. Now let the Advance again
suggest fbat the Chamber of Cora

matter of seeing that our ritj

The Advance is glad to note
in to-day's issue the purchase of
new equipment by the Norfolk

we shall hear soon that the "night

Perhaps the income tax may
fut the burden of taxation where
t belongs. - Everybody knows
that under the present system the
poor man is carrying more than
his share of the burden. Not
only is he rrfore honest in the val
uation of his property but with
a heavy tariff tax on necessities
the poor: man of large family has
paid a bigger tax than his weal
thy neighbor with no children to
support.
" The Advance notes the fining
: of two small boys in police court
yesterday for the use of profane
language on the street. It is a
pity that the officers can not pick
up occasionally some of the grown
men guilty of this offense. There
is nothing more dusgusting an
inexcusable than profanity with
ent provocation.
Unless some action is taken by
the city authorities Elizabeth Ci
ty may expect to have to report
one of these days some fatal au
tomobile accident. Guided by
- inexperienced drivers, bitr cars
nhoot through our main thorough
fares at the limit of speed if not
in excess of it. -
. Points -of especial danger- are
the street crossiMs. These are
passed at full speed and some
times with no warning from the
driver's horn. More than once
accidents have occurred. The
. Advance suggests that automobil
es should be compelled to pass
important street crossings at a
(' speed not greater than four miles
an. hour.

For teaching the geography
of the United States in the pub
lic schools and colleges a strong
effort is being made by the Unit
el States Geological Survev to
Foster the use of the Government
Topographic maps. These maps
contain so many details of local
interest, showing even the school
houses and farm' houses nswelas
every wagon road, with which of
course the school children are fa
miliar, that it is said to be an
easy matter for teachers to en
Pst the interest of the pupils in
this new type of school map.
From an understanding pf the
particular maps representing their
own localities it is but a succes
sion of short steps to lend the mi
pi Is to an appreciation of the dif
ferent types of countrv rortraved
on innps of other sections of the
United States. Most of the stan
dard atlas sheets of the Geologi
cal Survey of recent issue are
printed on the scale of 1 mile to
1 Inch, a scale which shows the
physical features of the country
in very interesting detail.
With these maps the pupils can
determine the altitude and the
steepness of their hills and
mountaftis, estimate the grade of
wagon roads, work out simple
engineering problems such as the
drainage of swamps, select dam
sites for tHe construction of res
ervoirs to supply water to imagi
nary towns for irrigation, lay out
imaginary trolley and railroad
lines or canals along the most
feasible routes, establish lookout
and signal stations on .high poinjs
ror tne control of forest tires, and
plan many other similar activi
ties. . -
The Geological Survey has pub
hshd 2,200 topographic atlas
sheets, covering about 40 per cent
of the- United States, and on re
ceipt of fS.OO from any teacher
l will supply 50 different maps
selected with special reference, to
the particular requirements of
the class it is proposed to instruct
in this new kind of geographic
study. The selectionovill include
iemdes the map jcoverine the
area where the school is situated
provided such a taap is publish-1
ed), other maps showing all the
ljysiograpbic forms to be found
tii the United States seacoast
areas, hilly country, high and pre
lpitous mountain ,. country,
swampy areas, reigions of innu
merable lakes, areas showinz
dense forests, areas with wood
lands interspersed with many
streams, lakes and other natural
features.
If less than 50 maps are desir
ed, a special selection of a less
number will be made on request
and furnished at the retail rate
of 10 cents per copy. Most" of
these maps, each of which on the
1-mile scale covers about 225 sq.
miles, or 150,000 acres, have been
made at a cost for surveying and
engraving, of 3,500 to f 6,000
each, and the wholesale price of
h cents apiece covers only about
the cost of paper and printing.
If the areas were surveyed and
the maps published by a commer
cial concern, these maps would
need to be sold for not less than
f2 . 00 to $3 . 00 each . The Survey
also sells an excellent wall map
about 4X6 feet, unmounted (in
three sections), for 60 cents. This
mav be - included in any whole
sale order as part of the 3.00
