World War Chaplain
Father Doherty entered the serv-
ice of his country as a chaplain in
the World War in April, 1918. He
was attached to the Second Division
and in May of that year was sent
to the front where he was under
continuous fire until July. During
that period he was cited for valiant
conduct, serving the wounded and
assisting in burying the dead In
France.
From October, 1918, until Janu-
airy, 1919, relatives and friends in
this state could gain no information
concerning him and rumors were
current that he had been killed on
the battlefield.
News was received in January
tina. he was alive but was suffering
from gas which was the cause CT
his enfeebled health ever since then.
Father Doherty served in the Sois-
sons front late in July and August.
i the battle Of st. Mihiel which was
fought on September 10, 1918. and
the battle of Verdun on September
Goth.
1t is believed that he inhaled gas
during the many battles in the Ar
come forest which lasted during
October and November until the
armistiee was signed.
While other relatives were re-
ceiving news from their sons, broth
crs and fathers in the World War,

the nations had stopped fighting.
He was discharged from service

MARYLAND TO ENFORCE
BOULEVARD STOP LAW
Slowing Down Machine Will Not
Do, Officials Say, as Full
Halt Is Required.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. July 27.-Violations Of
the new traffic law affecting the boule-
ward system have been so numerous
that z. Austin Baughman, commissioner
of motor vehicles, has ordered vigorous
prosecution of offenders.
With the end of the "Save-a-Life"
campaign this week, the commissioner
said the State police will be able to de-
vote more time to enforcing the boule-
ward law.
This law requires that before cross
ing or entering a road designated as a
boulevard the motoriSt must come to a
complete stop. In many parts of the
State, 1t was said, the law has been
ignored
The drive to enforce the law will be
made in all parts of the State, the COM
missioner said, and the police have been
instructed to be especially watchful on
the more Travelled highways.
The law specifically requires that all
automobiles must be brought to COM
designated as boulevards by the yellow
and black signs. Mr.. Baughman de-
clared that with the rigid enforcement
of this law. all motorists who do not
comply with the letter of the law will
be arrested. The law does not permit,
he said. the slowing down of car and
the entry into a boulevard without a
full stop, although there is no ap-
preaching traffic on the main highway.
County magistrates were notified by
Col Baughman of an opinion by At
torney General Thomas H. Robinson
that all motorists entering boulevards
must come to full stop before pro-
ceeding.
The opinion was sought because the
magistrates were in doubt as to the full
extent of the regulations governing the
situation.

TRAFFIC IN PUNCHES
HELD ROAD MENACE
Slow Cars in Line Seen as
Danger to Faster Passing
Machines.

Every one who has driven a car on
well Travelled highway over a week
end has witnessed a number of cars
catching up" with a relatively slow
moving machine and instead of pass
ing take position in line.
The result of this is that several
cars, all travelling at the same rate
OF speed, create punched traffic.
Driving in such formation is a safety
menace and gives rise to the nuisance
OF sharp Cutting in A faster car
passing a string of these machines
must, at the approach of another car
coming from the opposite direction, find
place in the line.
If there is no space between any of the
cars the line must open in order to
allow room for it to enter. While the
driver of the fast car is certainly more
at fault for misjudging the situation,
the drivers of the cars in formation are
also obviously to blame.
According to W. S. sherwood, presi-
dent Of the Flint Automobile Club,
traffic hazards of this kind would be
leSsened and accidents reduced if mo-
torists corrected such driving habits
and if they Systematically kept their
machines in good mechanical condi-
ton, as a car to be able to meet emer-
gencies quickly must be in good shape"

BALTIMORE, July 27.-Automobile

decrease over the corresponding period
Of last year, according to records at the
police headquarters. OF the 1915 ma
chimes reported stolen since January /
the police have recovered all but At. In
1929 the number Of thefts was 1871,
against 1922 recoveries.
Headquarters detectives assigned to
search for stolen automobiles say there
are no organized bands of auto bandits
operating in the city at the present
time. The detectives declare that ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the cars re-
ported stolen by their owners are taken
by "joy-riders" and found abandoned o
few hours after their disappearance.
Fugitives from justice and men with
out funds who want to get to some
other city in hurry often will steal an
unlocked machine, run 1t until they can

police say.
The police records also show that only
small percentage Of the stolen cars
are altered, have their engine and regis
tration numbers changed and are sold

$65,OOO,OOO South Carolina Bond Issue
To Add 1000 Miles of New Highways

Miracle men is the term that can
we'll be applied to modern highway
builders, according to e. E. Duffy, high
way educational writer.
South Carolina, which recently
approved highway bond issue of
S65 100000, expects to complete her
State highway system within the next
three and a half or four years. This
means that in that time some 1000
miles Of hard-surfaced roads will have
been built and that 1900 miles will be
otherwise improved.
This amazing aspiration is held forth
by G. e. Jones, chairman OF the State
Highway Commission. The bond issue
is now before the State Supreme Court
for official sanction.
VIII Enable Mass Production.
The South Carolina bond issue, which
in effect marshals q small part of that
States actual and potential resources
for immediate use, will enable the State
to introduce mass production into roads.
Obviously roads can be purchased
cheaper in large quantities. South
Carolina expects to let contracts for
lengthy mileages to builders equipped
with the most efficient machinery.
To travellers who have found them
selves in South Carolina during the wet
months the statement That south caro-
lina's state highway system will be SO
improved within short period may
seem a bit enthusiastic. However, in
this day and age. mass production Of
roads may be accomplished as easily as
the making Of enormous quantities Of
rubber tires.
Modern highway builders, with their
gigantic paving mixers and motorized
equipment, now lay pavements with the
ease of laying carpets. One paving
outfit may place as much as 1000 feet
Of pavement in day without any one
getting unduly excited. Yet it Is this
knack of getting the pavement down
quickly that foretells the eventual
smooth paving Of all well Travelled
routes.
Illinois Set New Record.
Illinois, North Carolina and other
States have built their roads very rap
idly under the bond issue method.
Last year Illinois set new high rec
ord for highway construction through
the completion Of 1870 miles Of con-
crete, most Of which was laid through
bond issue financing. A little refaec-

ton on that construction achievement
brings the realization that highway
builders are in step with modern pri-
vate business.
The early usage Of the backbone"
highways in South Carolina will bring
returns that will far more than Offset
the interest on the bonds. That States
chief method of obtaining highway in
come is the gas tax, which was recently
raised to cents a gallon. According
to Mr.. Jones. the mud roads prevalent
in South Carolina during several months
of the year collect a much greater tax
than cents gallon He asserts that
when the new paved highways are
opened to travel the increased business
and pleasure utility of the highways
and the lessened car operating costs
and maintenance costs Of the roads will
show a decided profit for the State.

SEPARATE BUREAU
FOR PRISONS URGED
Body Would Take Penal In
stitutionS From Justice
Department.
r. the Associated press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 16.-Transfer
of administration of the Federal penal
system from the Department of Justice
to the Department of the Interior or to
a separate bureau is advocated in the
third issue of the handbook of Alneri-
can prisons and reformatories, advance
copies of which were released yester-
day by the National Society OF Penal
Information.
In such a reorganization the hand
book recommends that in whatever de-
partment 1t is placed, the Federal penal
system should be made a separate bu-
reau with a permanent head, given
ample authority provided with a proper
staff of associates and paid an adequate
salary
Such an arrangement is necessary,
the handbook says, lin order to assure
continuity and to administer properly
group of institutions as important as
these prisons and having large popu-
lations and complicated problems"
The handbook asserts, the same de-
partment of the Government which is
responsible for the prosecution is also
charged with the custody of those con-
victed, functions which are kept sepa-
rate in all of the States. The funda-
mental difference in these two func-
lions makes such separation desirable"
1t is urged that the Federal prisons
should maintain industries covering the
cost of running the institutions and
giving a real wage to prisoners en-
ployed, instead of being supported by
Federal taxes and leaving a large part
of the population in idleness or semi
idleness'
Presenting figures to show a marked
increase in recent years in the num-
Der of Federal prisoners, the handbook
says the increase is due to the passing
of new legislation, notably the drug act,
the prohibition law and the Federal law
covering the transportation of stolen
automobiles from one State to another
