To Frame Auto Bill.

That at no far distant date every
artery leading out of Maryland may
be guarded by armed men, to stop
auto jacks" from leaving and sell
ing their spoils in other States, is
not unlikely.
In fact, the Automobile Club Of
Maryland will in all likelihood father
a bill that will be presented to the
next Legislature calling for an ap-
preparation to carry on the work of
catching automobile thieves.
The theft of automobiles has
grown to alarming proportions with
in the last few months. Nearly
every day in Baltimore alone three,
four, six and sometimes even more
cars are reported to the police as
having been stolen, OF these but
few are recovered, and the loss to
owners in the course of year runs
we'll up toward the million-dollar
mark,
A tentative plan of the Automobile
Club, as explained by Secretary Luci-
US, is to have guards stationed ON all
the principal highways leading out
of the State andtpear the State lines.
All these stations can be connected
up by telephone ON the principle in
use in the police department in cities.
When a car is reported stolen the ex-
change could send out a notice to
every guard on duty and a watch
could be kept for the auto jacks"
What Marylanders should be i'm,
pressed ith." said Secretary Lucius,
lis the fact that hundreds upon hun
dreds of automobiles are being stolen
in Maryland each year, and the own
ers sustain loss that reaches nearly
$1,000,000 annually. The State
should be willing to go to some ex-
pense to protect her citizens from
loss due to auto jacks The initial
cost would not be SO great. 1t is the
one way to stamp out auto thieves
and should be adopted"

War Risk Insurance.

The speed and precision with
which the Bureau of War Risk In
surancelis handling cases calling for
the payment of insurance under the
total and permanent disability fea-
ture of the law we're emphasized in an
Unexpectedly substantial manner to
group of wounded men who are
patients at Walter Reed hospital,
during the course of visit to the
bureau at the invitation of Director
r. G.. Cholmeley-Jones
When the men reached the Bureau
in the morning, they were unaware
that their condition warranted pay
ment of insurance on the policies
which they held at the time they
were wounded in France on account
of total and permanent disability
Still less did they anticipate that
within few hours they could be ex-
amined by medical officers, awarded
insurance, and handed checks rang
ing from $43S.67 to $888.47, cover
ing insurance due them from the
dates of their injuries, to take with
them, when they returned to the hos
pital. Yet this is exactly what hap
peped.
All of the men who held War Risk
Insurance policies and who are en-
titled to payments of insurance for
total and permanent disability will
receive Compensation" in addition
to their insurance money, after dis
charge from the service. They
would have received compensation
automatically and regardless of
whether they carried any War Risk
Insurance, but they would not have
received the insurance money if they
had not carried insurance policies.
When one carries a War Risk In
surance policy and becomes totally
and permanently disabled through
sickness or injury, he becomes
eligible to receive monthly payments
of insurance from the date of his
disability and as long as he lives. He
does not have to pay. any more
~ CAAAuAo. livery lOIm0I SGTVlC0
man or service woman who keeps up
his or her government insurance will
have this protection against possible
toaal permanent disability, which
may occur to anyone at any time
from variety of causes.
When a member of the military or
naval forces bought War Risk Insur-
ance he purchased straight life in
surance with the added proviso,
without increase in premiums, that
the insurance would mature and be-
come payable to the insured himself
in the event that he became totally
and permanently disabled. Few
people appear to realize that insur-
ance is entirely separate from com
pensation," the latter being provided
irrespective of whether or not a man
purchased insurance.

The Dry Vote In the Recent Election

The Dry Vote In the Recent Election.
Prohibition, directly or indirectly,
was an issue in Ohio, Kentucky and
New Jersey in the November cleo
lions just past. Election of legisla-
tors was also Of high Importance in
other States. A
The net result of the polls, In so
far as it can be untangled from COM
plicating factors, shows. a decided
preponderance Of success for the
drys.
Kentucky gave heavy majority
in support of prohibition on two
amendments to the State Constitu-
ton. Incidentally, it enacted State
prohibition of its own volition, max
ing the thirty-third State to so act.
The general conditions attending the
election contributed to the reducing
OF the dry majority.
Ohio voted on four propositions.
The State approved the action Of the
Legislature in ratifyfng federal pro-
hibition. A measure to repeal State
prohibition was overwhelmingly
beaten. Also the Ohio voters en-
phatically disapproved the sugges-
ton that they legalize, in so far as
the State might be able to do so, the
sale of 2.75 per cent beer. The
Crabbe enforcement act, passed by
the Legislature to enforce the State
prohibition law, was defeated on the
referendum. Clearly this indicated
a dislike of certain features of the
law and not disapproval Of prohibi-
ton.
In Massachusetts the result of the
elections was very satisfactory, and
in Maryland the Legislature will be
dry ond will enact a loyal enforce
ment law. j
In New 10y there was perhaps
a wet victoryj NoauE1e. could possibly
separate the drink FAC lin the cleo
ton from a perfect 81 Nof other
features. If New Jersey I'd Moted
on straight wet or dry issue, it
seems that it would have beepSa nip
and tuck affair. If Bugbee, Ahe OPP
ponent of Edwards, the wet elected
by a majority small for New Jersey,
had been fiat-footed in his support of
prohibition, he would have been
elected. AS it is, Edwards can do
nothing to make good his proposed
warfare on federal law. He simply
went fishing for suckers and caugh
quite string.

o. e. Weller, Republican leader
in the State, caused veritable sensa-
ton in political circles last week by
beating other aspirants to the Sena-
torial ringside and throwing his hat
in, when he publicly announced his
candidacy for nomination on the Re-
publican ticket as U. S. Senator. The
seat in the Senate that Mr.. Weller is
anxious to occupy is now filled, and
has been for years past, by John
Walter Smith, who probably feels,
by reason of his long incumbency,
that the job belongs to him. At any
rate no other Democratic candidate
has been mentioned so far.
In the Republican camp things are
different, and Ex-Governor Colds
borough and some others who dc
not belong to the Jackson-France-
Weller league Of nations, or faction,
will have a lot to say about Mr.
Weller's aspirations from now on.

in the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. RObb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding Off
Ger. Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining In COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied It's position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
