make the required examination with.
out any charge to the owner, the State
or community.
Every leading motor organization,
commercial and civic bodies, insur-
ance companies moving picture indus
try and railroads have expressed their
willingness to cooperate in the Save
Allie movement.
The new law is being put on in the
form Of the Save-A-Life Campaign and
really is an intensive effort to cut
down the accident rate in Maryland
and to make the State a model in this
respect. The Campaign is directed
solely against reckless driving and
the mechanical defects that are apt
to develop in the safety factors in cars
and trucks under service conditions,
because such defects are one OF the
leading causes of motor accidents. 1t
is the belief OF automobile authorities
throughout the United States that if
all motor vehicles could be quickly
and easily controlled by their drivers
the accident rate would rapidly dimin-
ish. "The Save-A-Life Campaign is
national movement in this direction
and Maryland should take leading
role" the Commissioner said.
The official method of the Campaign
and of the inspection according to the
law will be as follows:
l. Every automobile and truck in
the State to be inspected by COM
petent mechanic in a reliable service
station to be designated and appointed
with approval of the Motor Vehicle
Department, and IL the car or truck
is found unsafe or to have mechanical.

defects it must be put into safe con.
dition before an official inspection tag
will be issued to the owner.
2. Official inspection stickers will
be issued to all cars and trucks that
have been examined and found to be
in good condition, or that have been
put into good condition after being
examined and found to need adjust
ment.
3. In order to remove any possible
cause for resentment, inconvenience,
hardship or loss of time on the part Of
the automobile or truck owner, this
inspection will be made absolutely
free of charge at official inspection
stations, and the vehicle owner is at
liberty to choose any official station he
prefers.
4. Any adjustment or repair found
necessary to insure safe operation
may, at the owners order and with
his permission, be charged for at the
usual rate of charge for such mechan-
ical service by the station. Any
agreement in this connection is solely
between the vehicle owner and the
inspection station
5. Brakes, horns, lights, steering
mechanism and mirrors will be the
chief points of inspection
8. Brakes will be tested as follows:
rwo,wheel brakes car going 20 miles
per hour must stop In 80 feet -four
wheel brakes car going 20 milas per
hour must stop in IS feet. Emergency
brakes car going 20 miles per hour
must stop in rs feet. y Trucks over

Z HE GOODNESS
electric: 1UNy

H. TCH OVEN COOKING was tasty -.
no doubt about that BUT it took
hours of patience and energy. Today,
the Westinghouse Electric Range with
the Flavor Zone accomplishes the
same result and does it automati-
cally and without watching.
Most reasonable as to cost, the Elec-
trio Range cooks for you just as the
Dutch oven cooked. But you do not
have to be in the kitchen from the
time cold food is put into the oven
until you take out delicious dinner,
ready to serve.
Come in and see for yourself what
a wonderful labor-savef the Electric
Range really is. A personal inspec-
ton Of its good qualities will con-
vince you Of it's desirability for your
own kitchen!

Speaking
of s ports

With the publication today of the
tournament events scheduled for the
coming season at Shuttle Meadow
there comes also the realization that
the golf season lacks only a week
before 1t is in full swing. The tour
nament season at the club starts on
April 81, a week from next Satur-
day.
OF course. this means only the
official opening for the tournament
season locally because all through
the winter months, the Shuttle Mea-
dow course was used almost daily.
Golf players are that way. Weather
Of the meanest sort doesn't daunt
the golfer and the man who can go
out in pouring rain and a driving
wind play golf is the man who
can meet any kind of an emergency
IN life.
Although the weather hasn't been
anything like it should be 10 get the
swarms of golf bugs busy. Shuttle
Meadow has not been deserted. The
course was thrown open last Satur-
day and almost as if the weather
man was in sympathy with the golf
ers, the warmest kind of summer
weather was upon us.
After the last few days of rain,
Val Flood will be kept busy keeping
his greens. fairways and tees in
shape for the game but he can be
depended upon to keep the course as
nearly perfect as possible.
Baseball opens officially as far as
local teams are concerned, next Sun
day afternoon. The Corbin Red Sox
are scheduled to travel to New Lon
don to meet the Socony team Of
that Whaling City. The Socony
nine captured the championship of
New London last year.
A new baseball organization which
has all the earmarks of being one of
the strongest in the city, is being
formed in the northwest section OF
the city. 1t will be known as the

Many of the best-known baseball
players in the city are going TO try

This includes some OF the best semi

city.
The team will work out at the
