In proposing to amend the liability
law SO as to exempt household servants
and farm hands, pending bill if it does
not meet the fate of its predecessors,
promises to raise constitutional cues
tion as to the propriety of the distinc-
ton. Wisconsin met similar problem
by enacting that the law did not apply
when less than five were employed, and
the distinction was held to be constitu-
tional The basis of this classification
goes back to the old 'fellow-servant"
clause, which rested on the idea that
each employe could with reasonable APP
plication be able to watch every other.
Modern conditions of industry altered
this, but Wisconsin felt that where the
concern was SO small that only four were
employed, the old rule would work.

1914 Promises Big Things.

"Nneteen-fourteen promises bigger
things in motor cycling everywhere than
any previous year. predicts Howard A.
French of this city. Prosperity, perfect
models. big production and big demand
mark the highway to success.
The motor cycle has found its place
in the commercial field, and overcome
that unjust prejudice born Of ignorance.
At recent meeting of the Society of
Automobile Engineers, In New York, A.
L. McMurtry defended the motor cycle
strongly in the following terms: The
cheapest motor vehicle Is the motor cycle
Next to it is the cheap automobile Most
of you are aware of the characteristics of
the cheap automobile, Yet few really know
the modern, high-powered motor cycle.
or all motor propelled vehicles. the mod
ern motor cycle is least understood and
most universally condemned. Almost all
the arguments against the modern motor
cycle are false because they are based
on assumptions rather than facts
The average automobile engineer has
always shown a certain amount of con-
tempt for motor cycles in general Little
do they realize that the motor cycle engi-
neer has brought his product to a high
state of refinement, equal to, if not supe-
rior to, the best automobile
When engineers Of Mr. McMurtry S
standing begin TO voice these facts, it is
certain that others of his profession will
investigate and learn the truth That is
going to lead to a better public under
standing of the motor cycle with the re-
suit that the field of demand will be en-
larged indefinitely

First Aid in Garages.

Over in Germany attention to detail
goes to the extent of providing first
aid kit in public garages, with at least
one man who knows how to use it.
Here is what a British chauffeur said
OF the custom on returning from Eng
land after a tour through Germany:
An incident that happened to me in a
garage at Nuremberg is worth recalling.
In closing the gates of the lift my little
finger was caught, and rather badly
hurt The garagemeister, lie, the fore
man. Immediately took me to the Office.
where he had all sorts Of first-aid ap-
planes. and he attended to me in a
very skillful manner. On inquiry ]
found that most of the large garages
in Germany have a man trained in
first aid in case of accident and a
very useful institution 1 found this to
be on this occasion"

Emergency Equipment.

The coats. which are an essential part
of the clothing equipment. can always
be kept in the tonncau. No harm Will
befalI them there, and they will be
handy for use at Il moments notice.
Suitable gloves and goggles will. of
course, be carried. In the suit cases
will be the personal effects of the
tourists.
Emergency equipment, while not nee
essary, is very comfortable thing to
have on a trip of this nature. A spare
two-gallon tin of gasoline will often
prove it's utility. Without one of
these a gasoline leak which might not
be discovered until the car stops short
would be serious thing. When the
emergency tank is on the car, the leak
may be patched up temporarily with a
small piece of insulating tape, the spare
gasoline poured into the tank and the
car may be driven to,a place where the
supply can be renewed. An extra gall
lon or two of lubricating oil should
also be taken along.

Noises on Brakes.

Yoke ends on brake and control rods
often become loose through having to
transmit motion at bad angles. When
loose they cause annoying IA titles. If the
wear is sufficient, the noise may be
stopped by placing thin brass or tin
washer in the yoke. In the case of con-
troll rods. if the holes are badly worn, a
drill may be run through and then a
bushing made of sheet tin or brass bent
to the proper shape. This is not of
course, what might be called an engi-
neering job, but will do, since the rods
do not carry much stress, and will likely
last for a year, saving the considerable
cost Of roaming out the holes and fitting
new pins, as the garageman would do

Woman Garage Owner.

Miss Alice Neville of Worthing, Eng
land, has become a garage keeper, an
occupation hitherto monopolized by
men She oversees her garage person
ally. and when there is any specially diff
ficult piece OF repair work to De
done about a car she rolls up her
sleeves and does it. She is known all
along the south coast as the woman
who can mend any break in car. In
her off hours she gives lessons in dr1V-
ing to the women who are learning to
be their own chauffeurs. So far as
known, the United States hasn't any
woman garage keeper, but Mrs. Olive
Schultz, who ran the scout car for
Gen" Rosalie Jones suffrage pilgrims
to Albany and to Washington. and who
takes parties out now regularly for
sightseeing tours in her five-passenger
car, is thinking of going into partner
ship with a garage keeper on the West

Encourages "Speed Traps"

Due to the lack of a law on the subject.
1t is impossible to ascertain how many
arrests are made in New York state for
speeding or other motor offenses, and the
amount collected in fines This is because
officers of the law make the arrests and
justices who impose the fines are not re
quired to record such cases with their
county clerks. This means that while the
law requires such. money collected to be
turned in to the state, it provides nc
means of checking up the returns. Con
sequently the small communities are able
to enrich their Golfers from the passing
motorist without any more trouble than
that necessitated by setting a speed trap.

stolen from cars being garaged with him.

garage owner is not responsible for such

Packing the Luggage.

The suit cases have still to BIO packed.
Where they shall be placed depends
largely on the size of the car II the
vehicle is fitted with trunk rack. the
proposition becomes very easy. At a
small price trunk-like affair may be
purchased in which three or four of
the suit cases may be placed. When
these trunks are fitted to the rear oil

that always comes from putting water
proof covering over the suit cases and
stamping them 10 the trunk rack. The
time required TO withdraw one of the
suit cases and refasten the waterproof
cover is treble that required for with
drawing one of the suit cases from the
rrunk. The racks which carry the trunk
are not expensive, but if no trunk rack
IS fitted it will be necessary to store the
suit cases in the tonneau or on the
running board
If suit cases aside from those on the
trunk rack must be carried. they may
be put on the running board. although,
II only for the sake of appearance il
g best to keep the running board free.
When putting the suit cases ON the

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS
TO COMPLETE RAILWAY
Line Between National Capital and

ed as Assured.

sTATEHOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, March
l3.-New York capitalists have consented
to build the old Southern Maryland road,
now the Washington, Potomac and Ches-
apeake railway, which under its original
charter was to have run from Washing
ton to Point Lookout. Up to this time
only portion has been built between
Brandywine and Mechanicsville and is
now termed jerkwater line. The prom
Use has been made to complete the line
beginning at Washington and extending
to a point near Point Lookout.
A bill has been introduced by Senator
Mudd of Charles and others are to follow
by Senator Chesley of St. Marys and Del
egate Blandford of Prince Georges, au-
thorizing the construction.
The bill provides that the county com
missioners of Charles, ST. Marys and
Prince Georges counties shall subscribe
in the aggregate 100000 to the preferred
capital stock of the Washington, Potomac
and Chesapeake Railway Company, such
subscription not to be made until after
the company has completed the road from
Washington to Point Lookout
w. B. Duke OF Baltimore and Dane A.

NEW WAY TO KEEP TAB

New York Grand Jury Organization
to Form Lookout for All Kinds
of Evil Doing.

NEW YORK, March ia new way Of
keeping tab on city officers and city af-

secretly for some time Alexander y

members Of each current grand jury will
be asked or allowed to join.
The business of the association. if the
plan succeeds, will be to keep a constant
lookout for all forms of evil doing in mu-
nicipal or private organizations. II a

the attention of the association. which
will take up the subject.
The association being an unofficial body
has no power to summon witnesses. but
inasmuch as il has always among
its members at least two MEM
bers of a current grand jury the
subject can be handed over TO these mer-
beers and they can bring ii TO the formal
attention OF the grand jury. One OF the
ideas is to have public officials appear be-
fore the association and explain the work
ings of their department. to be followed
by general discussion and possible future
action by a grand jury, in the shape or
an Indictment or a presentment
Commissioner of Corrections Katherine
E. Davis appeared yesterday before the
association by invitation and she described
the workings OF her department, told OF
Its evils and stated her plans for better
ment.
