POINTERS FOR THE MOTORIST
Carrying Spare Valve Parts.-A Re-
pair Kit indispensable.

1t is always a good plan to carry a
package of extra valve parts such as
valve insides, valve caps, washers,
and dust caps, says the Michelin Tire
expert. These can be bought for a
few cents and are at times invaluable.
The small rubber tipped valve in
side, which is really the valve prop
er, sometimes leaks when old 1t can
be screwed out readily by invertlng
and inserting the notched valve cap
and using it like a screw driver.
When the valve inside j. removed At
il only the work of a moment to flt a
new one
a leaky tire valve j. sometimes re-
sponsible for a fault blamed On a
s'slow puncture" When pumping UP
a tire if the pump handle comes up
of itself after pushing down OH the
imitation stroke a leaky tire valve
may be looked for. If the motorist
carries a spare set of valve parts he
is all right, but not so his less
thoughtful neighbor who left his in
the garage!
The motorist early lin the season
should provide himself with good
tire repair kit including a supply OF
Mastic, a can Of cement Of good quail
ity, some inner tube patches in as
sorted sizes and blow out or inside
envelope patch. The red inner tube
patches are generally conceded best
Those OF pure para rubber, not CON
tanning fabric, the edges OF which are
beveled are to BE- recommended.

STRUCK BY AUTO.
Vernon Hines Seriously Hurt near
Ridgeville.

Vernon Hines, is years old was
struck and seriously injured by an
automobile Saturday night or the
road near Ridgeville. The autOmo-
bile sped toward Ridgeville and left
the boy lying in the road. Young
Hines who lives in New Market,
Frederick county, was riding toward
his home on a bicycle. The wheel
was demolished.
The boy, finding himself unable to
walk, crawled a quarter of a mile in
the direction of his home, when he
was found by resident Of Frederick,
who was on his way home from Bal
timore, and who took Hines into his
automobile and hurried him to the
home of DR.. H. H. Hopkins, OF New
Market. DR.. Hopkins found no bones
broken, but believes the boy has IN
ternal injuries.
According to the man who picked
up young Hines, he passed only two
automobiles, both large touring cars,
between Ridgeville and TIE place
where he found the injured boy. One
was filled with people and the other
contained only the driver 1t il be-
lieved that the car with the single &C
cupant struck Hines and that II came
from Baltimore or Washington.
Chief of Police Wosch, Of Ellicott
City, heard particulars at II ?. NJ.
and halted all cars coming from the
direction of Ridgeville, but no car
with a single occupant came through
ElIicott City. 1t is supposed the car
took another route.
About noon Sunday while Chief
Wosch was away from hime tele-
phone call was sent to his residence
and Mrs. Wosch answered. The in
quirer wanted to know if Chief Wosch
had been notified of a boy being
struck, if he knew whose car had
figured in the accident and if Chief
Wosch had reason to believe that a
Washington car caused the accident.
Mrs. Wosch asked who was making
these inquiries and was told by The
man that he wanted the information
for a Washington newspaper. The
man then rang off.

WESTERN MARYLAND RATES AT
Tackled.
Fruit Growers And Cement Company
Tell Their Troubles.

Two important rate cases brought
against the Western Maryland Rail-
way BY shippers were heard last Fri
day in Baltimore by Special Exami-
ner Mackley, representing the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. One
was a charge of exorbitant rates on
refrigerator cars for fruit growers
and the other was for reduction of
rates on cement from Union Bridge to
points in Virginia and West Virginia.
The fruit growers tried to show
that two years ago the railway enter
ed into contract with the Armour
Car Line to supply the cars. Some
of the growers declared that the cost
OF transportation Of fruits in refrig-
orator cars practically has doubled
since.
By the representative of the rail
road 1T was stated that tn company
receives exactly The same revenue
from hauling the goods now a. At
did before the contract was made. lt
was stated that the Armour Car Line
Increased the rate $2 or 80 on each
car, according to the type OF the car,
on the ground that their business last
year was operated at a loss.
Nearly all Of the growers repre-
scented are members of the Blue
Mountain Fruit Growers Association.
The other case was complaint OF
the Tidewater Cement Company about
a new traiff of the railroad prUpos-
ing to raise the shipments from I'm
ion Bridge to points in Virginia and
Weet Virginia higher than those from
Security, Md Both of these shipping
points heretofore have enjoyed the
same rate tn Virginia and West VII
ginia. From now Ga the Tidewater
will have to pay from 3O cents va
$1.3O a tor more according tn IT,
point of destination.
Union Bridge IL about 45 miles
from Baltimore and Security i about
s.. Charles r.. Bye, representing the
Security Company, said that his con-
Germ would agree to the Union Bridge
Company having the same rate to
West Virginia and Virginia points II
the Union Bridge Company would al
low the Security Company to have the
same rate to Baltimore as the Union
Bridge Company enjoys.

viii Raise Grasses on His
Farm Near Town

DR.. Peter H. Bahnsen, state veter-

ter county soil this year, and also his
devotion to the policy of some other
crop than cotton, by putting in sew
eral acres in grasses.
What is also more to the point, DR.?
Bahnsen has shown his devotion to
the theory that he breaches by putting
it into practice. DOC" has gone

the city out to his suburban homa,
on Lee street, just this side of the
Country club, where he has pretty
and comfortable home, with some
eighteen acres of ground, more or
less, attached.
81 am not going in for any cotton
planting In mine," said the state vet
erinarian in discussing his change Of
base. "On the contrary, am going
to confne my agricultural operations
to grasses. / am putting out several
acres in Bermuda and other grasses
and I expect to have some of the finest
hay and also some of the best pas
turage to be found in this section. The

Want
THE CITY TO
Do ITS PART
HAVE IMPROVED REES PARK
But City Has Failed TO Give
Water or Curb It

The ladies of Council of Safety
Chapter, d. A. r., embracing some
of the most active workers for the
development of the city along the lines
of beauty and cleanliness, feel ag-
grieved at the failure of the city TO
carry out its part in the implied agree
ment between them and the municipal
ity regarding the maintenance and inn
provement of Rees park.
Rees park, as every one knows, was
for some years a veritable eyesore,
desolate space to which no attention
was paid, although fronting on it were
some of the most attractive residences
of the city.
After the building of the hign
school, the ladies of the d. A. R. de-
cided that the time had come to re-
deem Rees park from neglect, to con-
vert it into both playground for the
children and an adornment for that
section of the city. The matter was
discussed and brought before the city
council and an understanding was
reached whereby the ladies were to
plant the grounds and equip them with
such convehiences as might be deemed
advisable, and on its part the city
would curb the park and provide wa
ter for the grass and plants.
The ladies went diligently to work
raising funds for their end of the
agreement. They have invested some
thing over 500 in identifying the
park, cleaning it up, engaging a gar
dener to lay it out putting out rose
bushes and other plants, etc. But the
water and the curbing have not been
forthcoming. In order to water the
shrubbery it has been necessary tc
carry the water in buckets some dis
tance. Otherwise the ladies have alsc
worked under a disadvantage. 1t IL
hoped that the city authorities will
awaken to the Importance of providin.
water in the park and also of curbinj
the grounds, so that the ladies ma,
feel encouraged to go on with the worl
they have undertaken.
