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 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
a further aid in preventing such ac-
cidents, laws severely Furnishing driv-
ers who are in 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.

"Cut" Investigation.
Baltimore

Preliminary steps in the investiga-
tion of the Maryland House of Cor
rection will be- taken by Governo or
Ritchies 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.
81 do not expect Mr.. Fishman's
work to be completed for month, u
Judge Burke said. ut does not
seem possible, therefore, that we can
do anything Of a 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-
ite action.
The investigation is result OF
numerous charges rejecting discredit

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, 80 it may be as far-reaching and
as fair as possible.
Maryland has on its 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 DIR. 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.. J. H. Ma
son Knox, who recently accepted the
post of head of the bureau, returns

just where the Health Department
stands in this matter, steps will be

LET'S STATE OUR PROPOSITION.

In a recent discussion of international affairs
and the position Of the United. States in relation
thereto, Otto II. Kahn, the, New York banker said:
notwithstanding the political reversal regis
tered at the election of last month, it seems to- be
generally conceded that the preponderating verdict
of the electorate continues to be opposed to Amer
3ica's joining the existing league. On the other
hand, there are indications of an ever growing UNI
dercurrent of popular feeling that a "betwixt and
between" policy acting through the instrunentality
of observers is one which hardly accords with
American dignity and which meets with i%ntujtive
dissent from the sense of fitness and fair play of
the American people.
Il venture to suggest-in the hope OF finding
myself in accord with the trend OF public opinion,
that it has now become fairly incumbent upon the
i,Cnited States to indicate precisely and officially
what are the terms, conditions and limitations un-
der which America would be prepared to take part
in an organized and permanently established inter
national effort, destined to serve justice and well
fare, to aid the maintenance of peace, and 0pro-
mote understanding, fair dealing and goodwill
among the nations, but so circumscribed in its func-
lions and powers as to be in accord with the spirit
of the traditional limitations in respect of the atti-
tude of the United States towards the affairs of
Europe and to involve no approach to any moral
or actual interference with American sovereignty
and freedom of action" -

THE HOME BUILDING CASE.

ln>the suit brought by-a lumber firm against
the state for the collection of profits, actual and pros:
|pective, which the company claimed to be due it, the
verdict is for the state. In the hearing there was
peculiar methods of Pollard, the man employed by
the Home Building association as its purchasing
agent.
No business organization can be held morally
responsible for the improper methods of one of its
employees who goes wrong, provided the, concern
has used proper care in the selection of its force
and has exercised proper supervision over it's men,
|bers.& 1t appears that at no time was Pollard regard
ed as a >heavyweight, and the former manager testi-
he'd that he had been Suspicious of his integrity for
some time. Unfortunately political considerations
entered into the case, and instead of bringing the
man up short, making a searching examination of
his conduct, and discharging him if it were found
that he was either dishonest or incapable, it was
thought inadvisable to do anything in the case i'm
til after an election which was then pending. The
testimony is that Mr.. Lemke urged this postpone
ment of a course which any private business con-
Germ would have deemed imperative, and would
have taken without delay.
Without throwing political bricks at anyone, it
is proper to point out that exactly this sort Of thing
is one of the inherent defects in the whole system
OF public operation. of ordinary business. There is
anyways the political angle to be regarded. The peo-
|ple in charge may be fully convinced that a certain
course is demanded by the ordinary business princi
pies that should governa but # the controlling power
is vested in a political body the possibility Of politi-
cal complications will always. arise.
Men who are really big may ignore these po-
lltical elements, but the elements are there, and the
question is sure to arise whether it is not better to
submit a little longer to a known evil which ought
to be eradicated at once rather than spoil a political
program which those in charge believe to be sound
and beneficial. II
