There was a hard-bofies look
about this young chap in the uni
form Of the Maryland State police
that was calculated 20 strike awe
into the hapless applicant for legal
permission TO operate an automc-
bile on the good roads OF our next
door neighbor. He sat across the
table from the Stroller and shot
question after question based on the
motor vehicle regulations for the
severity OF which Maryland is IA
nous. II was in the inner room ot
the rickety old license bureau which
Maryland maintains out Of cour-

There is no need Of repeating the
story. That hard-boiled young fel-
low in the uniform Of the Mary

a hair-raising experience common
TO every walking citizen OF WASH

pressive about that last question.
IL all comes back to a question
not so much of law as of philosophy.
The pedestrians were here before

We have a hearty dislike for the
administration Of Maryland's auto
