MARYLAND PROBES
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
Inquiry Undertaken to Deter
mine Causes of Mis-
haps.

Just how many of the motorists
who aie warned and arrested for
speeding arc Indifferent to the traffic
Jaws and how many are careless in

car as told by the sneedomcter. i
one of the important traffic questions
10 which Maryland authorities arc en-
deaVorin% to find the answer
According to l.. Austin Baughman.
commissioner of motor vehicles. about
half the persons arrested in Maryland
Nehcmently deny that they were VIC

Commissioner Baughman, that my

he was proceeding in leisurely man

legal limit
Know Speed Limit.
, Motorists know the speed limit and,
in addition. the State has posted signs
along the highways reminding them
what the limit at any given point is
And yet. after violating this limit. lit
orally thousands of them seem to
think that there is a foul scheme afoot
for the officer who arrests them to
make money out of their misfortune.
AS matter of fact. no officer of
the Maryland State police force re-
Ceives one cent more because he
makes an arrest. The State police Off
GERS do not even participate in the
legally set costs of As assessed by
the magistrate. The officer who makes
one or two arrests and administers
dozen warnings in an average day
: gets just the same salary check as his
brother of corresponding rank who
makes a dozen arrests in day and
let's no one off with warning.
Another complaint often received
is that other cars passed the complain
ant just prior to his being stopped for
speeding and that the operators of
these cars were not stopped.
= "On its face this would seem logi-
cal argument. However, it is not.
The officer is compelled to get pace
on the car where a speed violation is
involved. To do so he drops in behind
the suspected car at some distance
away from it. He stays there at the
same relative distance from the ve-
hicle being paced through accommo-
dating his own speed to that of the
car being paced.
Traffic Conditions.
at often happens that at this point
and before the officer can close up and
stop the driver the car being paced
may overtake a slower moving vehicle
and have to slow down.
Another car may come in from a
side road or the speeder for the first
time through his mirror may discover
the officer and slow down. Then other
cars proceeding at the legal rate may
pass him. All this before the officer,
handicapped often by traffic from the
opposite direction, can overhaul the
car he is after.
In this way it often happens that
the offense for which the driver may
be stopped was committed several
miles away from the point where the
stop is made

AutOist's Failure
I'm Making Repairs
Often Costs Money

The difference between action
and inaction in the care of motor
car frequently runs into money.
A falotorist noticed that the tire
carrier ratified. Every day he told
himself that he would take the
. minutes necessary to tighten 1t.
Several weeks passed. When he
finally got around to the job. he
found the bolts rusted. They had
TO be sheared and the entire car
rier removed and reattached. In
stead of costing minutes of the
motorists time. the expense was
dollar and a half.

HEAVY SUBS HELD BEST,
Most Effective in Cleansing Under
Parts of Car Tenders.

Heavy suds still are the most effec.
tive means of cleansing the under
parts Of the cars tenders. Studs can
be made by dissolving two pounds of
soap in gallon of water. 1t is we'll
thoroughly to rinse the parts afterward
to prevent any damage to the surface
by the soap solution. A liberal flush
ing with a hose will accomplish this
end. Do not have too much pressure
on the hose.

odd Substitution of
Letters in Language

Readers of Dickens, Thackeray and
of the earlier numbers of Punch were
familiar with vulgarism that once
crept into the English language-the
pronunciation Of "w" for "v." 1t was
inherited in the London dialect from
neighboring country dialects Of the
Fifteenth century, a writer says. in
Scribner's Magazine. Henry Machyn,
a merchant tailor of Elizabeth's time.
wrote in his diary value for value,
"woice" for voice, "wagabondes" for
vagabonds, and woman" for woman.
Noah Webster, In his Dissertations on
the English Language" Boston, 1880
remarked: "The pronunciation of W
for is prevailing practice in Eng
land and America: it is particularly
prevalent in Boston and Philadelphia"
He added in a footnote that he never
once heard the pronunciation in Con-
necticut. The practice used to be rid.
iculed by an old line that ran: "Weal,
vinegar and wenison make very good
whites, wow"

SETTING TAX REDUCTION
EXAMPLE

The Federal Government conclud-
ed its fiscal year on June 80 with the
greatest surplus in the recorded an
nails of the nation, $685., 8O9,921.7O.
The year also saw a reduction in the
public debt of $1,131,OOO,OOO
The average interest rate paid by
the government during the twelve
months was $50. This is the first
time since the World War that the
government has paid less than an
average of 40 interest.
The Federal Government has been
able to make these great savings in
operation, not only because OF the
prosperous condition of our nation,
but because of the fact that those
charged with the administration of
government and the expenditure OF
money have become economy-mind-
ed. They pay attention to small
details.
Economy mindedness is bound to
bring saving and efficiency in govern
ment.
Representative Green of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, Chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, will
call that Committee to meet October
81 to consider the revision OF the
United States Revenue Laws and the
proposal for further reduction of
Federal taxes. This will give the
committee about five weeks before
the opening session of Congress to
hear and prepare new revenue bill
During the past month Senators
and Congressman have reiterated
that the rates in the higher brackets
must be reduced. The lowering of
resulted in reduction in revenue
The lowering of rates, normal and
surtax, from 46% to rs per cent, on
incomes above $4,000 has resulted
in an increase in revenue, according
to treasury records. Incomes above
$4,000 are in many cases. largely
from investments. Is it unreason-
able to believe that the lower rates
IN these incomes will bring money
from tax exempt securities into pro-
ductive industry? Will this encour-
age the declaring of dividends,
which, in turn, will increase the vol
ume of taxable income and thereby
increase revenue receipts?
High income tax rates drive in
vestors from new hazardous enter
prises where an element of chance is
very great into tax exempt securities
where there are no taxes, no risks,
no responsibilities.

Dramas DEVELOPMENT

Drama developed more or less in,
dependently with the ancient Greeks,
the Hindus of the First century A. d.
and the Chinese, probably from print
tive religious festivals and initiative
dances, and especially in the East,
from puppet shows, shadow plays and
pantomimes. The earliest European
drama is the Greek, which, growing
up in connection with the festival of
Dionysus, eliminated in Attica, where
the festival came to be celebrated by
the performance Of a tetralogy, con-
sisting of one comedy and triology
of serious plays or tragedies celebrat-
ing connected series of mythic ep-
isodes. In medieval Europe, mystery,
miracle and morality plays, acted in
connection with the church festivals,
preceded the appearance, during the
Renaissance, of the modern drama
which has developed, besides tragedy
and comedy, tragi-comedy, melodrama,
opera. burletta, farce, etc.

rail may be made strikingly real and

Marnalade Steeple

In Buckinghamshire, England, re-
Gently they have been making mar
malade at parish rectory and ap-
plying the proceeds to the building
of church spire. Will that spire be
known to future generations as "the
marmalade steeple"? That is what
happened across the channel, in
Rouen, France, where, in 1907, the
second tower of the magnificent
Gothic cathedral was finished, the
money for it coming from the sale of
indulgences for eating butter in Lent.
Ever since then the name Tour de
Beurre" 1.-THE butter tower) has chung
to it. Similarly. the old First church
at Wethersfeld, Conn.,, has been pop
ularly known as 'the church that was
built of onions" because so much of
the money that went into it was de-
rived from the sale of that vegetable
by the parishioners.

FACTS ABOUT OIL INDUSTRY

The oil industry today represents
a total of $1,000, 100000 invested
capital.
1t furnishes employment to about
100000 people.
1t is owned by 100000 stock
holders, bond holders and royalty
owners.
Its products furnish to American
railroads more than one-sixth OF all
the tonnage of manufactured articles
which they transport.
OF the S0,000,000 horsepower OF
mechanical power used in Our Coun-
try, more than half is produced from
petroleum.
More than 70 per cent of the en-
tire petroleum industry of the world
is in the United States.
In addition to furnishing fuel to
over 24,000,000 vehicles, this indus
try makes larger contribution to
the nations annual export of manu-
featured products than any other
single industry, thereby contributing
more than any other group of manu-
features to maintain the country's
trade balance.
