ious automobile accidents and sud.

mileage for the week and average

The fourth record to fall was, of
course, the high number of long

Motorists complain of lack OF uni
formity in traffic laws.
The situation revealed by a survey
shows in definite way the need for
uniformity in the basic rules OF gov
erning traffic, in order that the car
owner may give maximum coopera-
ton to traffic authorities.
Conditions are complicated by
the fact that hundreds upon humid
reds of traffic rules and regulations
have been thrown into the civic hop
pers and bewildered the motorist to
the extent that he is baf1ed in meet
ing the changing conditions.
Ten years ago there were 2.13
traffic officers to every 1000 motor
vehicles registered, while today the
average has decreased to .9S to
every 1000 motor vehicles.

MORE sPEED

Traffic authorities are veering to
the idea that faster travel not only
relieves congestion but reduces the
accident toll. Three states now
have no auto speed limit in open
country-C Connecticut. Michigan and
Montana. Four have a 45-mile-an-
hour limit-Alabama, Florida. Ne
vada and North Carolina. Seven
have a 4O-mile Georgia, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky. Mary
land and South Carolina. The
others have a So or 3O-mile limit
with the exception of Massachusetts
which still sticks to its old-fashioned
20-mile limit.

REASONS EVERYONE SHOULD
VOTE

The potential voting strength OF
the United States now is more than
SO, OOO,O 900. Not half that many
voted in 1924. There are about u
100000 new voters this year. A
few votes may decide an election.
In 1884 Cleveland carried New York
by only 1,149 votes; change Of less
than 500 votes would have given
Blaine not only the state but the
presidency. A change OF rs votes
in Maryland in 1904 and 29 votes in
New Hampshire in 1915 would have
made those Estates Republican.
Change of 232 in California in 1912
would have made state Democratic;
change Of 40 in 1880 and change OF
1887 in 1916 would have made it
Republican. Majority vote does not
necessarily rule; IL times out of to-
tai Of "a a president has been elected
by minority of popular vote. O..

Parents should take it supon them
selves to show their interest in our
schools by visiting them. We feel
sure that teachers and school Off
cials will be glad to see the parents
Of the pupils, and there will be bet
ter understanding all around. Few
grown people take enough interest in
the work of the schools. There is
no more important activity in our
community. The teachers who train
the children are welding great in
fiuence upon the future. Luckily,
most of them are extremely conscien-
tious in their work, but that does not
mean they would not be glad to see
that the nature of their task is ap-
preciated. Visit the schools and
show the teachers you appreciate
what they are doing for the children.

children, will be given under the
Sounty Health Officer at the Health
Center. 1877 w. Main street, Elkton,
Nd. The office is open each Satur-
day, from 9 a. m. until l p. m. Last
year 1926 children were thus pro-
tected against the dreadful disease,
and only one case of Diphtheria was
reported, and the case was not con-
acted in Cecil County. An equally
good record can be duplicated this
year with the cooperation of the
parents. Bring all children under

PROHIBITION SENTIMENT RAP
IDLY GROWING IN EUROPE,
SAYS DEETS PICKETT


Deets Pickett, Research Secretary
of the Board of Temperance. Prohi-
bition and Pablic Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, just re-
turned from the Nineteenth Interna-
tional Congress against Alcoholism,
held at Antwerp, Belgium, says that
temperance Sentiment in Europe is
growing rapidly and that develop
ments may be expected, particularly
in England and Germany, in the near
future.
More than 400 leading educators,
physicians, scientists and govern
ment officials of Europe were in at
tendance at the international Con
gress, said Mr.. Pickett. Finland
sent its Prime Minister, Sweden was
represented by Senator Sander.
The leading governments OF the
world were all officially represented.
From the United States came DR..
Doran of the prohibition unit, Mr.
Anslinger of the state. department,
and Others,
when l was in Europe, few
years ago, the papers were full Of
sneers at American prohibition. Po-
litical leaders, both in Great Britain
and ON the continent seemed anxious
to create an unfavorable sentiment
toward the issue. Germany is al
most certainly on the verge of local
option, with eventual prohibition in
sight. Even in Great Britain, the
restrictions upon the liquor trade are
almost strangling and the same lead
ers who formerly were anxious that
the people should not consider it
with favor are now beginning to pre-
pare the people for consideration OF
even more drastic repressive meas
ures. Economists and statesmen of
every European country have been
profoundly impressed by the on
rushing prosperity Of the United
States, of which they believe prohi-
bition to be causative factor"
It is probable that the League of
Nations, on motion of Finland, Po-
land and Sweden, supported by Bel
GUM, India, Czecho-Slavakia and
Denmark will appoint commission
to study the International aspects OF
the alcoholism problem, the CONSIDER
alton being limited, however, to the
effect Of distilled spirits.
Mr.. Pickett declared that the ac-
ton of the government in sending
DR.. Doan and Mr.. Anslinger will
have far-reaching results not only
in promoting the suppression of
smuggling, but in pointing the way
to cooperative effort on the part OF
the United States with European
governments in handling other
phases of the international problem.
Without regard to the advisable
ity of participation in the work Of
the League of Nations" said Mr..
Pickett, sit seems to me that we
must face the fact that European ma
lions of whom, at frequent intervals,
we must ask cooperation, are in
creasingly insistent that the United
States lend its cooperation to the
humanitarian and social investiga-
lions and discussions of the various
committees established by the
Leagues assembly. We cannot with
grace ask help in handling our snug
Cling problem OF governments which
are at present engaged in discussing
those very problems under the au-
spices of the League, in which dis
cussions we refuse to have part.
