Commissioner Baughman Urges
Passage of Auto Law

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Baugh-
man, who sponsored the measure, and
Philip B. PearIman, of the State Legal
Department, appeared before the Sen
ate Judicial Proceedings Committee
yesterday and explained the provisions
of the new automobile bill. They
were unable, however, to cover the
subject, and another hearing will be
held later.
Osborne I. Yellott, attorney for the
Automobile Club of Maryland, and
Secretary H. NJ Luzius, of the same
organization, also attended the hear
ing. In the main the club has few OBJ
jections to the bill. There were one
or two provisions that its representa-
tives thought might be modified some
what Other features were not dis
cussed, as they did not concern owners
of pneumatic-tired vehicles.
1t was stated that owners Of solid
tired machines will protest against the
section increasing the license fees on
such vehicles, and this was expected.
The State officials contend that solid
tired machines do so much. damage
to the road that it is only fair they
should be made to pay more for the
privilege of using them.

dren and for. legislation that viii help
children.
Instead OF talking directly to the
Maryland legislators she talked
through the women to them. Her ap-
peal was TO the women to shoulder
the responsibility which should be
theirs. and her argument was that the
ballot was the best way to make the
women realize these responsibilities.
tt was to sympathetic audience
that the Congresswoman talked. The
Majority of the legislators desks were
occupied by women, who did not let
their knitting needles and bags inter-
fere with their applause. The major
