New York, April e6.-P'-The Theater guild is celebrating Its loth anniversary.
 in the spring of 1919 a group of players in the neiShhorhood of Washington square negotiated for an old stable and planned to convert II into a small theater for the pro- duction of amateur plays. The fire commissioner frowned on the pro- ject.
 So thev went uptown and rented a little playhouse called the Band box on East Fifty seventh street, at ss5 an evening, With s2,o0o they hoped to finance the presentation Of two plays.
 The first. Bonds Of Interest was a failure. The second. John Fer suson," was drama which St. John Ervine, its author, never expected 10 see produced on the stage. But It got d foothod and ran for 156 per formances in New York. The play made no money, but the Iheater guild was launched.
 Today the guild has 2G,ooo an- nual subscribers in New York. It occupies it's own playhouse along Broadway, and has plays running at present in three other New York theaters. It's companies have toured the entire country, and 1t will con- duct subscription seasons next year in 10 cities outside New York from Boston to St. Louis.

 Moeller, a playwright has turned 10 direction and adaptation. Miss Wesley. an actress all her life. has played 35 character roles in guild productions. Langner, who has been active in the business affairs of the guild, is one of New York's leading patent and copyright attorneys.
 The executive director of the guild is woman, Theresa Helburn. She was a teacher at Bryn Mawr and dramatic critic for the Nation be- fore she came 10 the guild as play reader, She has held her pres ent post eight years.
 In decade the guild has produc- ed in New York approximately 70 plays, of which 20 have been by American authors, 2c by English. and 24 by continental playwrights.
 Eleven plays by George Bernard Shaw are among the number, in cluding Back to Methuselah,' Arms and The Man" and Saint Joan" Three by Eugene ONein have been presented. among them the notably successful Strange h. terIude.' F- -

REGISTRATION LAW
URGED BY BAUGHMAN
Motor Official Calls on "Law
Abiding" Drivers to Block
Pending Bill.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 23.-E. Aus
TIN Baughman, commissioner of motor
vehicles, issued statement this week
urging "au careful and laW-abiding
motorists" to lend their support to the
passage of bill now before the Leg
islature which provides for a reregis-
tration of motor vehicle operators.
If the bill becomes law, all motor
vehicle operators licenses issued prior
to June /. 1928. will become void after
November 80, 1929. There would be a
period of SIX months in which to COM
plete the reregistration. The bill pro-
vides that a fee of 81 shall be paid at
the time of reregistration.
In my opinion" Mr.. Baughman
said, "this reregistration is one of the
greatest safeguards to the ever-increas-
ing hazards of this automotive age If
the bill passes it will provide for the
first registration since 1910. 1t does
not provide for an annual reregistration.
Another registration probably will not
be requested for another similar period
Of time.
This department would like to see
the bill passed because of the number
of obsolete licenses which are now clut-
tering up our files. approximately 49,
600 motor vehicle operators have died
during these 10 years. The licenses
may be in the hands of persons who
have no right to use them.
Names on the original operators IL
censeS may have been obliterated and
other names substituted. There is no
chance of identifying the original owner
without searching the files Of this de-
partment.
approximately 10000 operators Ii
censes were issued 10 persons living in
the District of Columbia before the
reciprocity arrangement, now in effect
was reached. These persons no longer
require a Maryland operators license.
approximately 100000 licenses have
been issued by this department since
1910. Out Of this number thousands OF
persons are today unfit to operate motor
vehicles because of inflrmities in eye
sight, body or mind.
II have known cases OF persons
charged with operating under the infiu-
ence of liquor who used every excuse
10 Law their infraction against physical
disability Of some kind.
Prior to 1918 no examination or de-
scription was made or taken OF any
operator. This reregistration will as
sure the department of a complete de-
scription of all drivers.
why shouldn't we clean house once
in 10 years? DO not large business en-
terprises revise theiY price lists. take
stock and audit their books at short
and regular intervals?
over the period Of six months there
will certainly be no great hardship OF
delay to the public in securing TINS new
license"

fixed so as not to make the competition
too keen. But the state also has in
terest in furthering automobile traffic, as
the post Office department operates 100
bus lines, with mileage of 1866, or
nearly one-Quarter the railroad mileage
for the entire republic. There are now
about $4,000 automobiles of all kinds in
Czechoslovakia This is not very many
according to American standards, but 1t
means an increase of rs per cent over
the previous year.
There are over 10000 miles of road in
Czechoslovakia which are not CLASH
fed as state highways. There are
about 5000 miles of state highways
and nearly all of this comes under the
road improvement schedule. AS Czech
oslovakia runs east and west new COM
munications are needed to connect
Prague with the eastern cities and dis
tricts. About 1000 miles of new high
way will be built Much of this mile
age will be useful as strategic high
ways. 1t is estimated it will cost about
$4,000 per mile to construct the new
highways. At this rate it Is estimated
$l6,000,000 will be spent in Slovakia
alone.
The new and improved Czechoslo-
yak highways will be developed not
only for local automobile traffic but
also for the international system. One
highway will be Paris-Strassburg-
Stuttgart Nuremberg Pilsen Prague
Koeniggraetz Breslau Warsaw An
other will start in Germany at Stral-
sund and continue over Dresden

STATEMENT GIVES
AUTO TRAVEL DATA
Gain in U. S. Tourists Going
Abroad With Own Cars
Is Seen.

In response to numerous inquiries
from all parts of the country from par
ties who are already planning to tour
Europe in their own cars during the
coming Summer and Fall, the American
Automobile Association issued a state
ment today outlining some of the i'm
portant requirements governing motor
travel abroad.
Predicting that the number of Amer
leans who will tour Europe in their own
cars this year will greatly exceed the
number who travelled under their own
power in 1928, the national motoring
body declared that a great deal had
been done in the last ~ months to
simplify requirements and establish bet.
ter services for prospective American
motorists in Europe.
The American Automobile Association
statement is based on reports to its
foreign travel division from representa-
tives at 19 foreign ports and from 81
European motor clubs through which
the American national motoring body is
affiliated by virtue of its membership IT.
the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme.
THE American facilities for issuing
passports" says the foreign travel divi-
sion. together with the arrangements
made by steamship lines to handle cars,
and the readiness of foreign govern
ments to eliminate customs barriers, has
brought motoring abroad almost on a
par with the simplicity surrounding
travel in this country"
The national motoring body attributes
the demand for foreign travel informa-
ton to the fact that the average Ameri-
can motorist is broadening his travel
horizons.
1t is pointed out that the first step in
arranging for trip abroad is the secur-
ing Of passports. which is now compare
lively easy for resident Americans
through Federal agents in all parts OF
the Nation. Greatly improved services
are also available in connection with
other requirements for the motorist de-
string to take his car abroad.

u. S. TRAFFIC RULES
APPEAL TO FRENCH
Drivers Seek Changes to Improve
Conditions-Markers and Rights
of Way Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. February 23.-Signal posts in
the middle of the road and many other
practices standard in America are sug-
gested as needed remedies for road
problems in France.
The Automobile Club of the West,
an influential organization, has CO.
ordinated ideas obtained from the pa
pers of the specialists competing in
a prize contest. The backing of other
associations will be sought. Other
suggested reforms include:
A basic reform generally agreed upon
as essential is the restoration of priority
to the $4,000 miles of main highway
in France. AT present the law is that
the car coming from the right, on any
road. no matter how small, has the
right of way. This is now generally
condemned as a mistake.
Whitewashing of walls and trees at
turns and at crossings is recommended
IL already is done by enterprising To-
calities
The placing of a vertical marker at
intersections is considered a funda-
mental improvement. At intersections
all corners would be rounded, and
hedges cut low to increase visibility.
