ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

the facts in the situation you
would be deceiving him by mar
rying him without a clear under
standing.
Because of the difference in
your ages, your love will have to
be put to the test sooner or later.
Instead of agonizing over the So
luton, do the honest thing and
put the matter squarely up to
him. If his love is not deeply
enought grounded to dismiss those
twelve years as unimportant, they
would have power later to wreck
your happiness when he discov-
cred your lack of courage and
honesty. If your love and COM
partnership are so right that age
does not enter into the situation
as a vital factor, the truth re.
vealed to him will reveal also the
big fact behind your indecision.

Annapolis
Use of novel renectors to warn mo
torists Of danger points along State
roads is planned by the State Roads
Commission.
These devices, consisting Of eight
facets Of colored unbreakable glass
backed by a mirror surface, have no
light Of their own, but II is asserted
they will pick up the Hight from auto
mobile lamps and reflect II brilliantly
at a distance of 1000 feet.
John N. Mackall, chairman and chief
engineer Of the commission, said that
the device seemed important and
could be used on roads where the cost
of flashing lights like those put up by
an advertising company would be pro
hibitive.
Flashing lights have been installed
by an advertising company on the
roads from Elkton to Baltimore and
Washington said Mr.. Maekall. "and
from the Pennsylvania line by way OF
Cumberland TO Hagerstown, and prob
ably will be extended, but the com
pany is not willing to erect them ex.
cept on roads where traffic is heavy
for the reason that they cannot get
sufficient revenue from the advertis-
ers.
The commission cannot afford to
erect them, for the initial cost is $500,
not counting maintenance. These re-
hectors cost S45 and seem to answer
equally well Our idea is to use them
on roads where the more expensive
lights are not feasible.
"The same color code will be used
as in the flashing lights; that is. red
for railroad crossings and dead ends.
where the road makes an abrupt turn;
yellow for cross roads, green for inter
sections and purple for mountain
grades, which the rules require mo
torists to descend in second gear"
One of these reflectors has been
erected on Charles street avenue and
one at Club and Edgevale roads, Ro-
land Park, and they are said to be
effective.

EDITOR MAegr FREE ON BOND
Attorney Reports Trial Was Plot
Against Freedom OF Press.

Santa Fe. N M.-carl c. Magee,
Albuquerque editor. was released in
$500 bond by order Of the State Su-
preme Court here at the termination
of a hearing instituted on habeas
corpus writ
The release was for the duration of
the courts deliberations on the ques-
tion of the Governors power to pardon
for direct contempt, on which charge
Magee is under sentence in the San
Miguel County Jail at Las Vegas.
The court ignored the request Of
counsel for the Sheriff Of Las Vegas
county to forbid Magee to write any
thing about the case in his newspaper.
The trial Of Magee by District Judge
Leahy, at Las Vegas, was a public
scandal, the result Of conspiracy to
abridge freedom Of the press, Attorney
Neill B. Field. of Albuquerque, says
in report to the executive board of
organized labor in New Mexico. This
board retained Mr.. Field to observe the
.Magee trial and make report. Mr.
Field also held that the editor did not
and could not have had fair trial
in Judge Leahy's court.
Mr.. Field denounces the failure Of
Judge Leahy to vacate the bench and
grant Magee change of venue: al
leges that the presence of an unnamed
politician conspicuous in the court
room was seandalous, condemns the
manner in which the prosecution was
conducted and urges petition to the
Governor to call special legislative
session to impeaeh Judge Leahy.

Bernard w. Snow, former Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture, sent the
news from Winnipeg that set the mar
kets here aflame. Mr.. Snow is widely
known as one of the leading authori-
ties of the United States on crop con
ditions, and the fact that he tele-
graphed personally, saying widespread
black-rust damage had developed in
Manitoba, came with thunderbolt ef
feet to the wheat trade.
1t was on the basis of his word
about black rust that the wheat pit
went wild and duplicated wartime
scenes.
Under such circumstances, buying
of wheat was on a tremendous scale
Both here and at Winnipeg Europeans
were credited with purchasing heavily,
and heavy profit taking at the close

top figures
The advance in wheat prices was
all the more remarkable as coming on

10 KILLED AS

Several Of Occupants Hurled
100 Feet BY Engine
INVESTIGATION is STARTED
Vehicle started over Crossing After
Freight Train Passes BY
Investigation Is
Started.

Toledo, Ohio. - Ten persons
were killed and 10 injured, some
seriously, when a New York Cen
tral passenger train crashed into
an automobile truck at grade
crossing near Oak Harbor, a vii.
lage 20 miles east of this city.
There were 26 persons in the truck
many of them young boys and girls.
They had been on days outing at
Sand Beach, on Lake Erie, and were
on their. way home
The force of the collision carried
the wreckage of the truck 800 feet
down the railroad tracks, hurting
bodies in every direction and scatter
ing splintered wood and shattered
metal for many feet.
The fact that some of the 26 oc-
cupants of the truck jumped at the
moment of the collision and that
others were hurled free of the wreck
age. some of them 100 feet, by the
rushing train probably accounts for
the fact that no more lives were lost.
Ottawa county officials Immediately
began an investigation in an effort to
attach blame for the accident. They
learned, it was said. that the truck
had been brought to a stop at the
Locust street crossing to permit a
slow-moving freight train to pass.
When the freight train had cleared
the crossing, it was said the truck
driver drove on to the tracks and
into the path of the oneoming pas
senger train.
