WILL CHECK CARS
IN SAFETY DRIVE
Maryland Official Explains
Plan of Keeping Unsafe
Cars From Roads.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 the star.
BALTIMORE, June 22.-E. Austin
Baughman, commissioner of motor We
hicles, today outlined the activity Of
the Maryland State police during the
, S0-day "Save-a-Life" campaign, which
opened last Saturday He stated that
on next Tuesday the State police will
be stationed at important points
throughout the State, and will stop all
motor vehicles not displaying the official
inspection Sticker on their windshields.
These motorists will be handed a small
warning card. calling attention to the
new motor vehicle inspection law, and
asking them to have their cars in
spected at once so as to avoid penalty
under the new law.
1--WE want to ask every motorist to re-
spond to this new and important mat
ter of having motor vehicles inspected
as to their safety factors" Commits
sioner Baughman said. I'VE want no
unsafe vehicles in the State of Mary
land, and we feel that every motorist
desires to cooperate and help us to re-
duce accidents and save human life.
In SO doing they may save the lives and
avoid suffering of themselves and fami-
lies. Eight hundred official inspection
stations have been appointed, accessible
to every motorist, and are located in
every city and town, making 1t easy for
the motorist to have his car inspected
free of charge"
Commissioner Baughman also stated
that there would be no excuse for any
motorist not having his car inspected,
and displaying the oficial inspection
sticker before July Is. He pointed out
the adyisability of all motorists giving
early attention to this movement, and
having their motor vehicle inspected at
once, so as to avoid congestion at the
official stations during the last week of
the campaign.
I'VE mean business, and we are going
Maryland all junk and unsafe cars, so
that our highways will be a safe place
for the citizenry of this State"

self selected with obvious satisfaction.
He insisted he was going to wear his

mother threatened to spank" him, but
still the youngster would not give in.
When he reached the school he
yanked on his collar and tie, tucked
his shirt in at the neck, rolled up the
sleeves and took his place on the plat
form beside the orphan who had come
so attired.

learned the reason for his refusing to
wear it,

ALGERIA TO STOP
TRADING IN WIVES
French Propose to Go Slowly
in Following Reform
Program.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALGIERS, June 22.-Buying and sell
ing Of yayes is soon to be abolished
from the Kabyle "kanouns," or Gus
toms, the code of traditions that gov
erns the social life of several million
natives. This is the first Of the age
old native practices to be recommended
for reform by mixed commission.
A bill to translate this into law is
before the French Parliament with
every prospect that 1t will be adopted.
There are many otner changes contem-
plated, but it is the intention to go
slowly for two reasons, first, because
France pledged her word. she would not
interfere with native customs: second,
because she would invite trouble by up
setting native life.
Minimum Age to Be Is.
Revolutionary as 1t is, the proposed
claw of bethrothal" merely requires a
declaration of intent by the bride and
groom or their families and fixes the
minimum age at Is.
The custom, which dates back farther
than history goes, requires that the man
buy the bride from her father or nearest
Lndlc IcldIlVe ne BlTl cOESenC Is UNI
necessary. She may be delivered to her
husband by force.
The Kabyle woman, often sold into
marriage when only. 2 years old, has no
property rights, except that she may
own the clothes she is wearing.
Divorce BY Oral Judgment"
Her husband can divorce her by re-
peating three times, II repudiate you"
and he may set ransom on her, with
out payment of which she can not re-
marry. The wife can not "repudiate"
her husband. She only can fee to her
fathers house and remain there lin a
state OF Instruction"
The husband clothes and feeds his
wife as he wishes no complaint by her
will be heard by the caid, or chief off,
Ger of the local assembly, who dispenses
justice.
The children belong to the father
If the wife is repudiated, she loses all
relationship with them.
II the husband dies the wife goes to
his heir, as part OF his property.
Many native leaders, conVersant with
customs of other lands, favor radical
reforms, but it is on their advice that
the French propose to go slowly.
