PUTTING LABELS
ON THE COUNTRY
Towns, Roads, and Now Rivers to be
Posted

What town is this?" All tourists
have asked the question hundreds Of
times. Progressive towns put the
name Of their city on signs at the city
limits, just as they also put through
arrows" to guide the traveller.
What road is this?" is asked al
most as often, especially on the less
Travelled highways. Main travelled
roads are rapidly being marked, so
that the visitor from afar is not con-
fused.
What river is thls?" is often a mat
ter Of wonder to the motorist, who
passes several branches of the same
stream, alongside a lake, or over a
bridge without knowing what body of
water it is which he crosses or passes.
The League of American Pen Wo-
men is asking the various State High
way Commissions to place suitable
markers near famous streams to in
form the travelling public. It is a laud-
able work, but why, the traveller
wants to know, stop at famous
streams. Why not mark all bodies Of
water on or near any and all roads, so
that the traveller may get better ac-
quainted with the country through
which he passes?
Municipalities find it pays to well
come the tourist, to guide him surely
and quickly, to make him feel at
home. The "Stop! Ten miles an hour
under penalty of the law" sign is dis
appearing in favor of the "Our speed
limit is fifteen miles an hour; please
observe it. as we make you welcome"
type Of sign. With the latter goes the !
courtesy of road markers and stream
label, worthy work for any civic club
to take up, that the municipality be
visited with joy and remembered with
pleasure.

HOW MANY LICENSE
PLATES TO CARRY9
Maryland and D. C. Sign Temporary
Truce

Ever since Maryland has had a
good road program she and the Dis
trict of Columbia have been at log
gerheads over the question of reci-
procity of license tags. Maryland
contended that as she had hundreds
of miles Of good roads, while the Dis
trict had few, she must collect a liz
cense from District motorists. The
District authorities have a reciprocity
law which recognizes those States
which recognize the District of Col
umbia license. The result has been
that for years all District of Columbia
motorists carried both District of Col
umbia and Maryland tags, and all
Maryland drivers who wanted to come
into Washington carried District of
Columbia tags.
Now a temporary truce has been
declared. Governor Richie having
agreed that for the first two months
Of 1924, District of Columbia tags will
be recognized in Maryland, while the
District of Columbia authorities will
recognize Maryland tags. The Com
missioners of the District are pledged
to attempt to secure from Congress a |
gasoline tax law in lieu of license fee, |
which viii, with Maryland having the
same law, tax all alike; that is, the
Maryland man in Washington will pay
the tax in Washington on what gas he |
buys and District of Columbia motor
lists touring in Maryland will pay the
tax to Maryland.
Thus one more obstacle is removed
from the passage of the universal IL
cense law, thing as inevitable in the
long run as the building by the gov
eminent of the national highways on
which motorists can travel through all
the States from end to end, north and
south, east and west. Every motorist ;
in Maryland who ever entered the Dis {
trict, and all Washington motorists
devoutly hope that Congress will make
1t possible for the "armistice" to be J
a permanent peace"

Bureau of Public Roads through Gov
eminent reorganization is disapprov-
ed.

to find out who had been writing
him anonymous letters. The detcc-
tives, though really wanted only as
servants, practised their profession
with vigor, so much so that before
they had been there long they had
nearly every one in the house under
suspicion. After Il hectic time. the
detective and his wife decided that
his profession was really too siren
uous, explanations were made all
around and the detective and wife de.
cided to remain on as servants.
Catherine Andrst as Mrs. Billie
Capron and Robert Nucssle as Billie
Capron helped "Mr. and Mrs. Fessen-
