FORMD. Pixies
State Auto Commission Will Or
ganize Force to Scourge Roads
of laWless Motor Bandits.

Determined to stop automobile
banditry. liquor running and other
lawlessness on the Maryland roads,
particularly those leading into Wash
ington, Governor Richie OF Mary
land has announced the formation OF
a 5 tate police motorcycle corps. The
corps will be started to work at once
with a small force. The greater part
Of the force will be used in patrol
ing the Maryland roads leading into
Washington, and the Washington po-
lice will cooperate as far as the Dis
trict line.
UNDER AUTO COMMISSIONER.
Major Gessford said today that he
would like to go further in his CO.
operation. but he had no jurisdiction
outside OF the District OF Columbia
and If such was granted his small
force would make further aid diff
1icult.
The new police force will be under
the direction of Automobile Commits
sioncr Baughman Of Maryland. and
viii be maintained by the automobile
fees received by that official. Police
Commissioner Gather OF Baltimore,
will also detail some OF the Balti-
more mounted police to assist the
! state police.
1t il believed by the Maryland ofri-
! Gals that the small force which II is
contemplated to start with will be
ample for present needs. II II Is
seen that there is need to enlarge
the force. IL will be done, they say,
either by taking more money out OF
the automobile fees or by getting
legislation through the State legis-
lature.
The movement began several weeks
ago when the Washington police re-
ceived numerous reports of hold-ups

lists insist that if Z general program

are spending for armament in pay

American wheat and cotton and
other goods would ind q ready

the shortage of commodities abroad
would be satisfied by the American
surplus and better prices would be

lvRRDICT IN COOK DEATH.

A coroner's Jury in Chicago yes
terday decided that an enlarged
gland caused the death Of David
Harris Cook, whose father. the late
DR.. Cook, was . member Of the SUI
preme board Of medical examiners
Of the Modern Woodmen in this
city. Cook had been visiting his
mother in Rock Island, when he
received an invitation to attend Z
banquet arranged by former stu
dents Of Northwestern university,
where he had attended school.
During the banquet Cook was sud-
denly taken Ill and died on his way
TO a hospital. Coroner Hoffman
explained at an inquest that Cook
had q super-enlarged gland which
would react to excitement or strong
stimulant. Cook was cashier in a
bank at Portsmouth, Neb. Burial
was in that city.

Ghost for Fish BAIT.

Siamese fishermen do most of tleif
fishing by means Of what is known as
a ghost boat This consists of long
board, painted white. and arranged In
position in the water. The top must
not be too high above the surface of
the water for he fish it is desired to
capture to le;p over. When in po-
sition the ghost resembles very much
the white side of boat or punt. The
fish. seeing this white board, become
frightened, and in fear they leap over
the board. At the back Of the board,
however, nets are arranged in such a
position that those fish that succeed
In leaping the board land in the nets
and are caught The amount of fish
caught by the employment of ghost
boats is very large indeed, and the
method has the advantage of prevent
ing the smaller fry from getting into
the nets. as they are unable to leap
over the board.

ARCHERY HELD IN HONOR
Skill in Use Of the Bow Was Fostered
in Every Way in the Twelfth
Century.

Archery in Scotland is as old as the
day of William the Lion. The hrst
mention of bows in the Statute book
occurred in the latter part of the
twelfth century. On skill in use of
the bow the safety of Scotland had
for so long rested, that in the reign
of William the Lion an act was passed
making it compulsory for every man
between the ages Of sixteen and sixty
to have weapons Of this description.
In war each bowman carried 16 heavy
and eight light shafts The principal
weapon of offense Of those bygone
days has long since degenerated into
a plaything.
The origin Of the Royal Company
of Archers, the kings bodyguard, is
somewhat obscure, the first unas-
sailable record dating back no fur
ther than 1876 Some authorities
claim the company was formed by
James the First of Scotland, who
chose a bodyguard for himself. The
organization was permitted in 1915
to call itself His Majesty's Com
pany of Archers," and the first pa
rade m full uniform was held on
Leith Links on June IL, 1877. Queen
Anne in 1904 granted the company
a royal charter. Sir Walter Scott
was a member of the organization.

HUNTING FOR DREAM HATS
Every Woman Feels That Some Day
II viii Be Her Fortune to
Discover One.

In the spring woman's fancy light
ly turns to thoughts of--hats. Every
woman feels that one day she will
find the dream hat writer In the
London Daily Mail states. 1t may be
waiting just around the corner IN
some shop yet undiscovered. Or It
may be that the quest will go on for
weeks or months or years.
But one day she will find the hat
which will make her life roseate
thing until it wears out or becomes
old-fashioned. Under the brim OF It
her eyes will shine like stars. Her
whole being win irradiate charm.
decent balance at the bank gives
a comfortable air of assurance to
many men. SILK stockings-not the
haIf-and-half sort-bring blissful
sense Of well heing to most women.
But nothing can give the same poise
as the dream hat. To wear it is to be
a success.
'How well you are looking today !
your friends say.
You know that 1t is the hat.
All the same, you are well. No one
could be i'll in the dream hat.
1t conjures up thought of soft mu-
sic. scents of flowers, shaded lights
and the spring. What may not one
accomplish in such a hat! What ad-
ventures may not happen!
The hat must be subtle in It's con-
ception. 1t must have enough color
to bring out the light in your eyes, but
not too much to deaden the color OF
your hair. The line must be good ana
accord with the contour of your face.
Light and fanciful. there must be in
it a hint of something a little pro
vocatiye, fantasy one could never as
sociate with jet and bangles.
But where is the dream hat to be
found? All! If one only knew Some
how, it still eludes ones search. Time
ia getting on. A hat you must have
and so you must be content with the
second best.

MANY ABLE TO HEAR coLoRS
According to Investigator, the Gift 10
Not observation-disclosures by
One Person In Eight

Color hearing, or chromaesthesia,
the constant association of colors with
words, letters, musical notes and nois-
es, is inherent, the New Orleans Times
Picayune says, in one of every eight
persons.
A few years ago noted physician
told his audience that the day was not
far distant when sound would be seen
and color heard, and time has con-
firmed his statement. It seems in
credible that beam of light can pro-
duce sound, yet it has been accom-
plished by throwing a ray of sunlight
through a lens on glass vessel con-
tanning lampblack, or colored silk or
worsted, or any similar substance.

is made to revolve swiftly in the beam
of light SC as to "cut it up" into alter
nate flashes of light and shadow.
When the ear is placed to the glass
vessel the sensitive ear can distinguish
strange, faint sounds as long as the
flashing beam falls upon the vessel.

produced when the beam Of sunlight
is first made to pass through prism,
so as to produce what is known as the
solar spectrum. The disk is turned
so that the colored light of the rain
bow passes through it and is alternate
ly interrupted and transmitted by it.
Now, if the ear be placed to the glass
vessel containing the silk or other ma
terial, it will be noticed that the col
ored lights of certain parts Of the
spectrum will make sounds, and those
of other parts will not. For example,
If the glass vessel contains red .wor-
sted and the green light is Hashed up
on it, there will be comparatively loud
sounds, and when the red and blue
parts of the rainbow fall upon the
vessel there will be faint sounds; but
other colors will produce no sounds
at ali.
