FATHER-AND-SON WEEK
DELIGHTS BROWNSVILLE

THOMASvILLE, Jan. 9.-Father-
and-Son Week has been celebrated in
Thomasville for the first time and
it was very delightful and interest
ing occasion: The boys were proud
of being taken in by their fathers
and many fathers were equally proud
to be with their sons. The Rotary
club entertained them, they had a
banquet at the Y. M. G. A., attended
basketball game together and went
to church and Sunday school. 1t was
a novel experience for some fathers,
but it did them all good.

DUBLIN, Jan. g. (By Associate
ed Press.)-As soon as the Dali
Eireann convened this morning
Eamonn De Valera arose and placed
his resignation as president Of the
Irish republic formally before the
house.
Mrs. Thomas j. Clarke moved his
reelection, with Liam Mellows see
onding the motion.
Michael Collins said no one in the
Dali wished to be in the position OF
opposing De Valera and that the Dali
now was faced with the problem OF
taking over the government from the
British. He suggested the fornia~
ton of a committee, with members
chosen from each side of the com
trc7ersy, to keep the peace.
The Dali adjourned at 80 until
3: 80 o'clock with the motion for the
reelection of De Valera as president
still under discussion.
The treaty creating the Irish
Free State was ratified Saturday
night by the Dali Eireann. By q
majority of seven votes, ga to 81,
the Dali gave its approval of the docs
ument signed by it's delegates in
London.
The news was received with the
greatest enthusiasm, and the patient
crowds which had waited for hours
outside the University building burst
into cheering, even before the official
figures were announced.
Ratification of the treaty came afz
ter day of tense excitement and
heated controversy Although the
result was as had been expected,
the majority in favor of the agree
ment was greater than had been
counted On, almost to the last mo-
ment.

ing twenty-five miles.
1t is planned to- establish at least
100 such zones and as many more cas-
are necessary.
Licenses in Danger.
In cases of violation of either the
speed laws or reckless driving. Com
missioner Baughman will take up the
question of revocation of the license.
A warning to autoists who have OBJ
scured or dirty markers-llcense
number plates-on their cars has also
been given by Commissioner BauSh-
man. The commissioner announced
that he would give orders next week
for the arrest of owners and drivers
of cars on which the markers are not
plainly visible and clear enough to
read at a distance of twenty-five feet.
Pointing out that obscured and dirty
markers constitute violation OF
the law, Commissioner Baughman ex-
planned that he sought. to reduce the
chances of reckless drivers escaping
and hiding their identity after run
ming down some pedestrian or after
SOME othW violation of the law.
The commissioner said that obscure
markers on motor vehicles were be-
coming more numerous every day.
The principal trouble he said. was
the desire of autoists to have bumpers
on the front and rear of their auto
mobiles and the carrying of spare
tires on the hangers attached to the
rear of the machines so the license
cannot be read.
Commissioner Baughman, in max
ing his announcement about the
campaign, said the use of obscure
markers is not a minor violation of
the motor vehicle laws, but a serious
violation.

MARYLAND REEVES
AUTO speed TRAP"
TWenty-Eight Fatal Acct
dents in Baltimore Spur Of
ficials to Start Campaign.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 13.-Stirred to
action by the number Of fatal auto
mobile accidents in Baltimore. which
to date total twenty-eight since the
first of The year, Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Baughman. in conjunction
with Police Commissioner Gather. has
started a campaign against reckless
driving, which will be extended
through the state police force to all
parts of the state.
One of the means to be employed
will be the revival Of the speed trap
method of curbing speeding and reck-
less driving which, it is said, i re-
sponsible for most of the accidents.
Under existing laws a speed trap
may be established only with the au-
thority of the motor vehicle commits
sioner Several years ago speed
traps for autoistS were set up IN
discriminatory and the practice grew
until it became real evil. 1t was
then that the present law was passed,
leaving it to the automobile commits
sioner to say when and where traps
might be established.
Plain Clothes Men Assigned.
Alarmed by the growing number of
automobile fatalities, Commissioners
Gather ordered the assignment this
week of special policemen in plain
clothes to the work of curbing the
reckless drivers throughout the city.
They were instructed to pay partlcu-
lar attention to the speed of au-
toists. the manner in which they ap-
preached street intersections and
turned corners, and whether Or not
they carried at night the prescribed
lights.
The docket Of the traffic court.
which has averaged between 40 and
$50 cases a day all this week. shows
that the special officers are ION the
job for violations of the automobile
laws
Commissioner Gather believes that
both the plain-clothes patrolmen and
the regularly assigned motor cycle
squads will be better equipped to curb
the speedsters if they are allowed to
set up speed traps"
Stop-Watch to BE Used. -
If Commissioner Baughman gives
his permission, stretches of a quar-
ter of a mile each will be measured
off and a policeman stationed at each
end with a stop-watch. The speed of
the automobile will be registered the
m'ment he enters the course, and.
when the stop-watch shows he is ex-
ceeding the speed limit the police
r man at the other end will place him
under arrest.
The speed will be tabulated by sec
onds. being computed from fifteen (the
limit in the C 'ngested business sec
tion} to sixty miles an hour. Outside
of the congested downtown section
the speed limit has been set at TWEEN
ty miles an hour. but the police rarely
