hind Bars Before Acting.

EVANSVILLE, Md, July IA few
minutes in the Bladensburg Jail yester-
day afternoon caused Robert Lee White
Of Dodge Park. Md, former Washing
ton policeman, to change his mind about
doing time" rather than pay a $40 fine
for reckless driving.
The fine was the result OF q collision
between a car White is accused OF driv-
ing and one operated by Fred MeiSsner
on the Marlboro road June %. White
maintained his brother was driving the
car but admitted he displayed his own
drivers permit and registration card to
Meissner after the accident.
White said he formerly was a chauf-
feur at Washington police headquarters.
Judge j. Chew Sheriff imposed the fine
for reckless driving and the man insisted
he would not pay. as he was not driving
the car.
A constable thereupon took him to
the Bladensburg Jail, only to return
within the hour with his prisoner, who
paid his fine.

VIRGINIA COTTON
ACREAGE GREATER
Area Thus Planted Estimated 10
Per Cent Larger Than
Last Year.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND. Va. July 1.-THE cot
ton acreage in Virginia this year is
estimated to be $4,000 acres, or 10 per
cent greater than the acreage of last
year, it is stated in the State cotton
report prepared by Henry NJ. Taylor,
State-Federal agricultural Statistician,
from data obtained through the Federal
State crop reporting service.
Increased acreages in cotton are re-
ported in all cotton growing sections of
the State, with the greatest increase
being along the northern and western
edge of the cotton district. The report
stated that weather conditions during
June were only fairly favorable for
cotton, as cool nights have retarded
growth.
The estimated acreage for the United
States is 48457,000 acres, or an in
crease of 80 per cent above the
acreage planted last year. The increase
in acreage has taken place in the State
from Alabama west. The eastern part
of the belt shows only slight changes
from last year
No report on the condition Of the
1929 cotton crop will be prepared until
August l.

TAKOMA fighting
TO REGAIN PARK
B. & o. Injunction Argument
to Come Up July 10 in
Circuit Court.

BY a Staf Correspondent of The Star.
TAKONA PARK, Md, July 11.--With
a decision of the Circuit Court at Rock.
vile that the park land adjacent to
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks
here was dedicated years ago, and &C
cepted by the town, according to j.
Bond Smith. corporation counsel, the
other phase Of the case, the motion to
dissolve the temporary injunction grant,
ed to the railroad by the court will be
pressed, and it will be argued on July 10.
The railroad company is still using
this North Takoma siding for the un-
loading of heavy freight, and the town
authorities are prevented from inter-
ferlng and enforcing a town ordinance
prohibiting trucks driving over park
lands.
Town Is Sustained.
"The decision Of the court amply
suStains the contention OF the town OF
Takoma Park that the facts set up in
the answer show the land in question
to have been many years ago dedicated
by the owner and accepted by the
municipality as a park" said Mr.. Smith
in commenting on the decision OF Judge
Robert Peter. THE railroad company
strenuously denied this, nothwithstand-
ing the written admission of Willard I.
Bishop, its industrial agent, that the
town owned the property In 1928. ANY
other decision on the pleadings before
the court would have cast grave doubt
on tiNe municipality title, not only to
this particular park, but TO all of the
IL acres Of park land in North Takoma
dedicated by the same plat; accepted az
parks by the town and now urgently
needed for park purposes due to the
rapid growth and development OF the
community.
Apparently" Mr. Smith continued.
the Baltimore q Ohio Railroad now
will have to rely on some claim of pre-
scriptive right because OF the use ad-
mittedly made of the property by con-
signees under permission OF the town.
"Of course. the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad must admit that 1t never paid
anything for the rights 1t now claims,
and 1t remains to be seen just how far
a great railroad system will think 1t
consistent with its dignity to 60 in
claiming 'squatters' rights
May Follow New Course.
cit may now decide to follow the
dignified and much more popular
course of spending few thousand dol
lars to secure ground now available IN
commercially zoned area adjacent to Its
Takoma Park, D. c.. station for the To-
cation of freight yard, instead OF the
town park. now used by 1t free OF
charge, notwithstanding the opposition
of the municipal authorities and the
citizens Of the community"

AUTO INSPECTION
TIME NEARS CLOSE
Maryland Motorists Have
Only Four More Days to
Get Official O. K.
~ a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY a Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
SILVER SPRING, Md, July IL
Maryland motorists have just four more
Spected, in compliance with an act OF
the legislature, intended to assure that
the car in this State shall be in the
best of shape while running over the
public highways.
While there is no penalty attached to
the failure to have cars inspected, never
theless those who neglect to have one
of the small stickerS on their windshields
face the possibility of being delayed
while travelling on the road to submit
to inspections by the police.
Face Heavier Penalty.
On the other hand, it was said. should
a motorist who has failed to go through
the necessary inspection be in an ac-
cident, and a subsequent inspection by
police shows that his car is faulty in
any respect that might have been shown
by inspection, the penalty will be much
heavier.
While some motorists have complied
with the law and have had the in
Spections made, many have refused to
have the StickerS put on their wind
shields Although they have complied
with the law, it was said, they, too,
face Ine possibility of being stopped on
the road along with those who did not
go through the inspection But cars
showing the stickers will be allowed to
run right along.
It was pointed out that the delays
may be serious to some, as once before
when such an inspection was ordered
police have picked cars out OF lines OF
traffic on busy days, and made them
line up along the side of the road until
each could be inspected in turn. With
a long line of cars, it was said, this de-
Law could be serious in some cases, but
the motorists have only themselves TO
blame, as it is the intention of the State
authorities not to have any Maryland
registered car on the road which is not
in the best of condition.
Must Be Stuck on Car.
Some Of the motorists who have
passed through the inspection have
asked the garage owners to give them
the stickers so that they might be car
ried nj the cars, but this has been re-
fused. Complaints have been made to
the police about this, but the latter point
out that the stickers must be on the
car inspected.
The inspections are being made by
certain designated garages throughout
tire State free of cost. If car upon
first inspection has faulty brakes, lights,
horn. steering gear. windshield wiper. or
the like, the Sticker is refused until the
defects are corrected. When the cars
leave the garages with everything in
proper working order they carry the
Stickers on the windshield. Only cars
registered in the State are bound 10
comply with the law.

terspersed with grapefruit, apples, and
bananas. 1t is not necessary, however,
always to serve rhubarb as sauce for
breakfast or pie for dinner. Rhubarb
is good filling for tarts, cobblers, and
shortcakes. A "cobbler" is baked In
an earthware or glass baking dish
with the fruit on the bottom and the
biscuit dough on top. A rhubarb short
cake is made exactly like straw
berry shortcake. The biscuit dough
is baked in single large round layer.
which is split and generously buttered
while hot. Hard sauce is better than
cream with either Of these rhubarb
desserts because of the acidity of the
fruit.
Try also rhubarb betty while pie

with either rhubarb sauce or raw sliced
rhubarb. To quart Of the sweetened
or raw sliced rhubarb and sugar, allow
a quart of fine dry bread crumbs, COM
bined with three or four tablespoon
fuls of melted butter before they are
put with the fruit. Fill a CREASED
baking dish with alternate layers OF
sauce and buttered crumbs, and sift
cinnamon over the top. If the rhubarb
is cooked, bake for about 10 minutes
in moderate oven. If raw rhubarD
is used, sprinkle each layer well with
sugar, and cover the baking dish dur
ing the first part of the cooking SO that
the rhubarb will steam tender. COOK
for 25 minutes or more and then re-
move the top and allow the crumbs
to brown. Serve rhubarb betty hot
with or without hard sauce.

Baked Caramel Custard
Excellent for Dessert

Custard desserts appear more ire
quently as eggs become abundant IN
the spring. One does not want them
all the same flavor, however. Caramel
custard is usually an acceptable vari-
alton, and is easy to make. The
strip with which it is favored may
be Kept on hand, or it may be cooked
as wanted. Half cup Of granulated
sugar is allowed to brown or caramel
lie over the fire, while in another
pan, some water is brought to the
boiling point. Add half cup of boil
ing water to the caramelized sugar
and simmer minutes. The bureau
of home economics gives the follow
ing directions for making caramel
custard:
quart milk I tbs caramel
eggs strip
" cup sugar Tsp. sait
n tsp. vanilla
Heat the milk slightly with the
sugar, salt, and caramel. Be sure
the caramel is entirely dissolved be-
fore this mixture Is poured into the
lightly beaten eggs. Add the vanilla
Pour the mixture into custard cups,
and add small piece of butter to
each. Bake in pan surrounded by
water In moderate oven. Test by
placing the point of a knife in the
center Of the custard and If 1t comes
out clean remove the cups Of custard
at once from the hot water. The
custards may be served either hot OF
cold with caramel strip If more Of
the caramel flavor is desired.
