ISSUES STRICT WARNING
TO AUTO SPEEDERS

Spoxtsmen who follow the turf in
automobiles or other motor vehicles
from Baltimore to Havre de Grace are
warned by the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles that the Belair road is not a
race track and that any attempts to
use it as such during the present meet
or afterward will be checked by all
the means at his command.
Deputy Commissioner Engler yes
terday placed all his available men on
the Be1air road between Baltimore and
Havre de Grace and proposes to take
a flying trip out that way himself oc-
casionally during the next few days.
The Belair road is not so good a
race course for automobiles and mo-
torcycles as the Annapolis boulevard
in the neighborhood of Glen Burnie
Most of the racing has been on the
boulevard and efforts have been made
to stop the practice, but this will not
divert the attention of the Automobile
Commissions force from the Belair
road.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 12.-"Girls will

Still. the hoydenish and caper-cutting
movie actresses are bad influence"

Yet she conceded that the screen
plays WELD an influence that will
work either good or evil.
Remember the recent avalanche of
'vamps' in Chicago?" she went on
"Girls who slinker-slouched when
they walked, rolled their eyes allur-

DRIVE TO START FOR
EVERYBODY'S RED CROSS

Membership in the Red Cross. slight
ly paraphrasing the words of Presi-
dent Wilson in connection with for
mer appeal to the people of the coun-
try, is the spirit of humanity in terms
of action The world war developed
the humanitarian spirit of America on
lines that made it an inspiration can
serve to better advantage in preserv-
ing the fruits of that inspiration to the
rest of mankind than the American
Red Cross That is one of the rea7
sons why the membership should he
kept at the high level at the close of
the war, and for this reason the drive
for membership will be held in No
vember
Nor does this mean that a still
higher level should not maintain, nor
that in course of time the desirable
universal membership may not be real
lied. The youth of the land, organ
lied under the banner of the Junior
Red Cross, in a comparatively few
years will constitute an army of citi-
zens as great or greater than the pres
ent society. With the spirit of serv-
ice thoroughly inculcated, it will be as
natural for the boys and girls of to-
day to assume the obligations of the
mature organization on reaching the
legal age as to accept any of the re-
probabilities associated with citizen
ship. Meanwhile, a duty of the chap
ters is to prevent any reaction inimical
to the solidarity of the existing mem
bership.

AT THE PALACE TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW

One of the many enjoyable features
promised in connection with "Oh,

Comedy" co-starring June Caprice
and Creighton Hale will be the APP
pearance of a bevy of beauties re-
cruited by Mr.. Capellani from the vari-
GUS Broadway cabarets and musical
comedy shows. The aggregation OF
girls represents four different we'll
known cabarets. and five current
Broadway musical-comedy hits, in
GLIDING Tumble In" "Good Morning
Judge" and Listen Lester" and con-
sists of sixteen hand-picked beauties,
selected with a discrimination that
would do credit to FlorenZ Ziegfeld.
The girls form a chorus that APP
pears at various intervals throughout
the picture and although bereft OF
their voices, they disport themselves
in a lively manner and make good
use of their training in the gentle art
OF "jazz" dancing. The work of re-
hearsing the girls in the dance num-
bers was entrusted to Albert Doris,
assistant to Mr.. Capellani, who prior
to assuming the more or less digni-
fed title of assistant director, spent
some fifteen years as a musical COM
edy-stage director.

IMPROVING ROADS
TO SOUTH RIVER

Roads to South River and the State
boulevard to Washington, via South
River bridge. are being improved at
this time at various points, especially
at dangerous turns in the road. The
sudden curve at Beaver Dam HILL"
which has been a source of danger, is
being widened at least three feet on
the curve, which will add to the safety
of traffic over this road.
Other places in the road are being
similarly treated at turns and curves,
and an additional three feet on either
side OF the macadam is being added to
the portion of the road at Edgewater,
near the bridge
When completed the widening of the
road will greatly add to Its safety and
tend TO make travel over this section
a greater pleasure to motorists.
Changes in the temperature never
seem to affect those who are in the
habit of freezing onto cold cash.
