MASSACHUSETTS LAW
REGULATING MOTOR BOATS.
Use Of MuffIers Required MARYLAND
Wants Similar Law.

From time to time this paper has
commented on the nuisance of motor
boats plying in these waters at hours
from 2 to a. M, when others are ex-
pected to be sleeping, thereby Great
ing public nuisance.
Upon investigation it has been found
that the only relief from these pub
lie nuisances is an Act of Legislature.
As the Maryland Legislature convenes
in January, 1916, an effort has been
made to look into such acts govern
ing the motor boats in other sections
Massachusetts has such law, and II
as follows:
An Act TO Require the use OF Under
water Exhausts or Mufflers on Ger
tain Motor Boats.
Section L.. II shall he unlawful to
use a boat propelled, in whole or in
part. by gas, gasoline or naphtha. un-
less the same is provided with an un-
der-water exhaust or mufTler, so con-
structed and used as to muffie in a
reasonable manner the noise of the ex-
plosion.
Section ,. Any person who operates
a boat in violation of the provisions of
the preceding section shall be punish
ed by a fine of not more than twenty
five dollars.
The Act was approved April i. 1909

For some weeks past, at intervals,
woman on crutches has been beg
ging in the streets of this city and at
Eastport She told doleful story of
no husband and several children to
support, and of her afIliction, which
spoke for itself.
Investigation of the case proved the
woman's unworthiness, and her story
was without foundation. One time she
said she came from Glen Burnie, an
other from Severna Park
The local branch of the Associated
Charities took the matter under con-
sideration and investigation followed.
The woman proved herself to be keen.
shrewd and professional at her"art"
She had occasion to go into theMayor's
office and, it is supposed, there picked
up a paper on which was the Mayors
signature.
This was just what she wanted, for
above the signature she wrote, or had
written, permit to beg at Eastport.
When the trick was discovered, the
Mayor was indignant, but the woman
accomplished her purpose. worked on
the sympathy of people and was given
considerable money before learning
she was carrying about with her a
signature of the Mayor, of which she
had gained possession fraudulently.
Moral-Always investigate cases of
begging or of those asking charity be-
fore you bestow either sympathy or
money Call mn the District Nurse
Report the matter to her, or failing to
come in touch with the District Nurse.
