lice Department, 1t was learned today,
are keeping a close check on the ac-
tivitieS in the second precinct, which
was completely motorized September Q
as q new experiment in police patrolling
in washington.
Arrest Record Kept.
Pvt. Paul Sullivan, on duty in the
police administrative ONCE, is keeping
a record OF arrests, which Maj. Pratt
Is scanning in an effort to determine
whether motorization of the precinct is
increasing or decreasing the arrests.
Thus far, the records show, the arrests
are averaging about the same in COM
parison with those before the patrolmen
were assigned to automobiles.
It Is far too soon, however, to make
o comparison of the results, according
to police offlcials It will take at least
two or three months, 1t was said, before
the efficacy Of the motor patrols can be
fully appraised.
Communications received by Mai.
Pratt indicate that the residents in the
precinct are well satisfied with the
motor patrols. A number Of them
wrote that they now see q policeman

An Interesting Fact.
Maryland County, Liberia

Space forbids a detailed discussion
of the incidents showing the attitude
of the people of Maryland relative to
the gradual abolition of slavery with
in her boundaries. One of these Incl
dents we have chosen for today's
article. The independent nation which
Maryland founded in, Africa.
In 1888, approximately II years
prior to the Civil War, the Maryland
State Colonization Society was
formed for the purpose of transport
ing the free negroes of the state to
Africa, the point selected for this
colony being Cape Palms. Prior to
that date, in 1884, the state passed a
bill appropriating 100000 for the
transportation of freed negroes to
the Dark Continent. -
Incidently, it is interesting to note
that the Federal Census of 1860 gave
Maryland a population of 516,108
whites, 87,188 negro slaves and 49,
718 free negroes. NJ
November %, 1888, the brig "Ann",
armed with "six FOUNDER on two
wheels, set sail from Baltimore. It
may or may not be significant, but
the flag of the new colony sought to
be established was to be "the flag of
the United States, except that in
place of the stars upon a blue field,
there should be a white cross of
equilateral arms"-the cross and bars.
Arriving at Cape Palms, there was
held on February IL, 1884, a great
meeting between the colonists and
three of the powerful native, kings,
looking to the purchase of site for
the colony. The sale and purchase
was held up for some time, because
there was no rum in sight, the colo
nists being all sworn to temperance.
Finally, the production of silver dol
lars won the day and an island with
three hills, a small harbor and quite
good deal of farming land, was pur-
chased and laid out into farms on

State and national officials have
learned that wasteful destruction of
our national forests has caused SER

If every man, woman and child
would each year plant a few trees
and take care in not starting forest

would be greatly simplifed.
