Beck of Kent County. Coad of St.

The bill was introduced by Miss La
vinia Engle, delegate from Montgomery
County. and Delegates Lawrence P.
Williams of ST. Marys County, Kent r.
Mullikin and Oliver Metzerott of Prince
Georges County.
Some of its provisions were regarded
as too stringent by few delegates, and
these features were modified in the
Ways and Means Committee.
The Metzerott bill puts teeth in the
present law, which makes signs placed
adjacent to highways without the writ
ten consent of the owner Of the prop
erty illegal.
At present the person who erects the
signs is held responsible if they are
thus illegally placed and it is conse-
ouently necessary to catch a person in
the act of posting the sign to secure a
conviction AS this Is practically i'm
possible the law has not been inforced.
Under the new bill, which was spon-
sored by Delegate MetZerott, the pres
ence of sign on the property Of per-
son whose written permission has not
been secured is made prima facie evil
dence of the guilt of the firm whose
product or business is advertised on the
billboard.

ut LOUIS. April 4-Maj. Jimmie"
Doolittle, who more than once
has felt the brush of deaths
- wings in the air, believes the ira
gic passing of Knute Rockne will
give great impetus to development OF
safety in flying.
This great hero of foot ball and
young manhood was also a hero of
aviation and believed in its future" he
said. His countless friends will be
spurred on to greater accomplishments
in their conquest of the air.
Winner of Trophy.
Mai. Doolittle, former Army test pilot
and now head OF the aviation depart
ment OF an oil corporation, will receive
the Harmon Trophy at Cleveland Tues
day for his experiments in blind flying
to combat fog, carried out under the
Daniel Guggenheim Foundation.
Pointing to the great strides made in
the past two years in radio-controlled
flying, the noted pilot predicted perfec-
ton of this method in the near future,
enabling all commercially operated
planes to fly in controlled safety lanes
Other improved facilities, he suggests,
may include superhighways, without in
tersections, from the center of cities to
airports, on which speeds of 100 miles
per hour would be possible. or even use
of the autogyro to eliminate traffic de-
lays on such trips.
However, before there can be signifi-
cant progress in actual flying he sees
the necessity of improved aerodynamic
design.
System Not Acceptable.
THE present tendency to select a
fairly efficient wing and then hang mo-
tor, accessories and what not on this
wing is not entirely acceptable" he said
Although the idea OF flying wing
is possibly far fetched, still it is not
unlikely that the eventual transport
plane will be a large cantilever type
with the motors streamlined into the
wings. with retractable landing gear
and every bit of parasite eliminated
Such ships should have a cruising
range between $50 and 200 miles per
hour"
