"cut" Investigation.

Baltimore
Preliminary steps in the investiga-
ton of the Maryland House of Cor
rection will be taken by Governor
Ritchie's investigating committee this
week.
The body is to act upon partial re-
ports Of "Cut" conditions as submit
ted by Joseph S. Fishman, former
Federal Prison Inspector, who has
been employed to go into them thor
oughly.
II do not expect Mr.. Fishman' IS
work to be completed for month, q
Judge Burke said. "It does not
seem possible, therefore, that we can
do anything of final nature, since
the complete Fishman report is to be
the basis of our action"
Judge Burke added that the Board
may make a preliminary survey Of
the situation and study OF any data
laid before it by Mr.. Fishman. He
was unwilling to forecast any defin-
tie action.
The investigation is result of
numerous charges rejecting discredit
on the management of the institution
made by Eugene O'Dunne, the at
torney who recently pressed the
charges against DR.. Hubert Wade
which led the Governor to GUST DR..
Wade from the Craftsmanship Of the
State Board of Prison Control.

When labor-saving machinery was
FIRST introduced, most people opposed
1t. on the ground that 1t would throw
many out of jobs. Many an old-time
sewing machine salesman still car
ries buckshot In his legs, fred there
by practical" gents who objected to
the devflish device that took work
from seamstresses. Today we realize
that labor-saving devices merely shift
workers into new industries-and
raise the standard of living. You

telephone system that does the work

plan Safety Drive.

Resolutions favoring the passage of
laws designed to aid in saving chill
dren from death by being run down
by automobiles while playing in the
street were passed at a meeting OF
the Motor Vehicles Commissioners
Association at Braddock Heights.
Laws against obscured license tags
were also advocated.
At the meeting the statement was
made that the majority of children
killed while playing in the streets
are about five years old-just old
enough to get about by themselves
yet lacking in sufficient judgment to
protect themselves fully from danger.
1t was said that children are usually
killed or injured by speeding deliv-
cry trucks and rarely by touring or
pleasure cars.
Definite plans for conducting an
educational campaign among drivers
of commercial cars were made, and
representatives of the 10 States in
the Conference stated that they
would assist in this campaign. AS
further aid in preventing such ac-
cidents, laws severely Furnishing driv-
ers who are in a measure responsible
for such tragedies were advocated.
An earnest plea against the prac-
tice of permitting motorists to OBJ
scure their license tags by tires, sig
nal lamps and other apparatus on
the rear of their cars was registered
by Col. E. Austin Baughman, motor
vehicle commissioner for Maryland.
Colonel Baughman stated that this
State spends annually between $780,
900 and $125,000 for the manufac-
ture of numbered auto tags, so that
participants in accidents might be
readily identified and auto thieves
traced. He pointed out that it was
permitted in many States that motor
lists obscure these tags and thus de-
feat the purpose for which they are
designed.
Maryland is one Of the few States
in the country, he said, that has an
effective law against such obscuring
of license tags, yet even in this State
the law is frequently disregarded
He called for an active fight to be
made by the various States in an
effort to draft similar laws and to en-
force more effectively the laws that
are at present so lightly regarded.

Test OF Birth Records.

Birth registration OF children born
in this State is to be subjected to a
complete test under plan worked
out by Dr. John S. Fulton in cooper
alton with the Maryland League of
Women Voters.
Under the plan 1000 mothers,
members of the league, will write to
the State Board of Health for certifi-
Gates of the registration of the births
of their children under five years.
Women from all parts of the State
have been selected to take part in the
test, SO 1t may be as far-reaching and
as fair as possible.
Maryland has on it's books a law
requiring report to the State De-
partment Of Health of the birth of
every child. This report is to be
made by the attending physician or
midwife, but DR.. Fulton believes the
figures are far from being complete.
The investigation, under the child
welfare department of the League of
Women Voters, was begun by Mrs.
Harold Sawyer, of Prince Georges
county. Mrs. Sawyer wrote to DR..
Fulton asking for certificates for two
of her children.
All of this work is being done to
prepare for the opening of the Child
Hygiene Bureau, when DR.. ]. H. Ma
son Knox, who recently accepted the
post of head of the bureau, returns
in the fall. When it is ascertained
just where the Health Department
stands in this matter. steps will be
taken to put the bureau in shape to
compute the death rate! Of children in
Maryland and to take immediate
steps to lower It.

bits of specialized knowledge to the

persons as curious piece Of informa-

black surface absorbs the suns rays.
BY this means, 1t is stated, an unequal

hold this office at the phesent time. Rotary emerged from a national or ganization to an international organi- ration two years later at the Duluth convention. A short time previous to this convention club had been or ganized at Winnipeg, Canada, and during the convention cablegram was received from the Rotary Club of London, England, asking for a char ter. Rotary had thus quickly evolved from one club in 1905 to an interna- tional organization in 1912.
 Since 1912 the organization has grown even more rapidly than during the first seven years. Today there are more than one thousand Rotary Clubs in the world. Altho the greater num- Der are in the United States, where the movement originated, there are now Rotary clubs in Canada, New foundland, Great Britain and Ireland, Cuba, South America, the Republic of Panama, China, India, Australia, and New Zealand. This growth seems all the more remarkable when we realize that the organization has never at any time employed paid organizers. And in addition, extreme care has always been exercised in surveying cities and towns applying for membership to make sure that such communities are ready for a Rotary Club and are of sufficient size from which to secure a membership of representative men and still have the membership Ter stricted to one man from each busi- ness Or profession.

ROTARY CLUB /
 ISORGANIZED < IN KINGMAN

Continued From Page One) also stated that of the number of clubs heretofore founded there had not yet been one failure and that though Kingman was one of the smallest towns tto have club no failure was expected here. :
 Rotary represents simply the idea of service-the chief pledge of it's members being to see that they shall consider Service before self" and that their example and their work for the community, their business or pro fession and toward individuals they shall give practical demonstration of the fact that ''he profits most who serves best" ,&'.
 The eighty thousand Rotarians in the world, to which number reprey sentative group of business and prot fessional men of this city have just been added, developed in the last sev- enteen years from meeting of four men February 23, 1905 in the office of Paul P. Harris, lawyer, in Chi cago.
 Fl Harris, who is still member of the Chicago Rotary Club, is looked upon as the Father of Rotary" He had the original idea of forming a club that would promulgate the spirit of service and would be different from any existing organization. Associat- ed with him at that first meeting were Sylvester Schiele, H. E. Shorey, and Gus A. Loehr. The test of the idea came with another meeting which drew to Rotary such men as Harry Ruggles, Rufe Chapin, Charlie Newton, Will Jenson, Doe" Neff, Bernard Arntzen, and Albert White men who now as then represent dy- mamie force of organization and abil- ity which has been of inesti1nable value to Rotary throughout the world
 The idea they evolved and fostered to the point where it actually became a world force was an organization which would consist of one man from each business or profession who would meet in rotation at various places al frequent intervals and discuss various questions that might come up from time to time, become better acquaint. ed with each other, the problems o1 the business of each as it affected the life of the community and for good fellowship. It was agreed to promote fellowship one important step would be to call each man by his first name or nicAname--to make it compulsory that this should beSdone
 The name Rotary Club was adopt ed shortly after the first meeting be- cause the members met in rotation in the offices of, each other. The Chicago Club continued to in- crease in membership. In I90s-three years after the first meeting-the sec ond Rotary club was organized in San Francisco. Other clubs followed on the Pacific Coast and then the move ment spread to the East and then to the South until sixteen clubs had been organized by the end of 1910.
 It was in 1910 that the first con vention was held in Chicago and the National Association formed. At this convention Chesley R. Perry was elected secretary and he continues to
