Overlooking CARS
HELD DANGEROUS
Maryland Officials Plan to
Seek Law to Limit Num-
Der of Passengers.

An increase in the number of seri'
Gus automobile accidents attributed TO
overcrowding of motor cars with
passengers is worrying the police de-
partment Of Baltimore. Charles u.
Gather, police commissioner, an
nounced that he Is seeking method
to stop the practice. II no other rem
edy can be found he will ask the next
Legislature to pass State law to con-
troll the situation. he said.
Mr.. Gather declared he had been
worried over the matter for some
time, but pointed out that the police
of the city have no authority to ar
rest motorists who overcrOwd their
cars with. passengers. He said, how
ever, that patrolmen sometimes issue
warning to such drivers.
May Revoke Licenses.
The police commissioner declared
he had discussed the problem with
other high. officials of the department
and with e. Austin Baughman, com
missioner of motor vehicles. 1t is not
felt that either of the officials could
issue regulations against the danger,
Mr.. Gather asserted.
II State regulation is enacted the
penalty should not be a fine, he said.
Instead he advocated revocation of
the licenses of offenders for period
Of time, explaining that this was the
only forfeit that would prove effective.
There Is no law In Baltimore or
Maryland to regulate the matter" the
commissioner said, but I am con-
WINGED there should be. 1t Is an ex-
tremely dangerous practice to fill
automobiles with more people than
they can accommodate, and often re-
suits in serious accidents.
.And 1t. quite frequently happens
that it is mot the offender that suffers
the worst injuries.

weathers into a shade that may be
something quite new to the industry.
In one instance in which an owner
desired doing over the radiator and
hood to match the rest of the car the
painter displayed some rare ability in
color matching and paint mixing. To
the unframed eye the original color
on the car was a sort of sunburned
olive. But the painter made green
only a part of his mixture: Here is
the combination that turned the
trick:
Yellow. buff, black, green and red!
This artist of the motor world said
that the addition Of red enabled him
to make a perfect match. Black, he
finds, is very useful to mix with
other paints when attempting to
match a difficult color, particularly If
the hue is a bit more weathered
(darker) than the standard shade.

Where Secrecy Hurts.

This is a short story about John
Jones. John parked his car in the
usual manner in the usual place on
a day that turned out to be distinctly
unusual. because when he came back
to get it the car was not there. In
common parla nee, it had been "ap-
propriated.'
In his excitement John mana ged
to listen to small voice that sug
cested the importance of notifying
the automobile department of the
state Acting on this suggestion, he
gave the department full descrip-
ton of the car over the phone. and
then began 20 feel more comfortable.
But it proved to be temporary
comfort, to say the least. Two days
later the department called him and
said Il had a car that might or might
not be his The word might"
struck terror into his heart. Why
didn't they know it was his car if
they had anything that answered
the descriptions?
The trouble was that Johns car
was recorded by the department as q
dark green car with natural wood
vanished whee's. The car the de-
partment recovered was cream color
with cream and black striped wheels.
oh" John explained, Il had just
had the car painted: ! can identify
it all right"
So he was asked to make trip to
the State capitol and see whether he
could tell his own car when he saw 1t.
When he arrived they called his at
