Magic IN Curtains

In selecting curtains, remember
that yellow shades give a sunny
effect; white adds spaciousnesS; and
the soft shades of blue and green
make a room appear cool. Straight
curtains and draperies without a
valance make walls seem higher.

PIun1S Are
Prize for
Housewives
BY SISTER MARY
AEA anr.A- Nn.M


Old-time housewives always put
up" plums to serve in late winter.
The pleasant tartness Of plum deli
cacies was particularly acceptable
with the heavy meals considered
necessary to combat the winters
cold.
Modern housewives find that same
tartness delightful with roasts and
fowl. Modern methods of canning
and preserving produce more deli
cately favored conserVes than those
Of 500 years ago, but plums we're
priced long ago on account of their
excellent keeping qualities.
Greengage, yellow, damson and
all sweet varieties may be used in
any OF the following recipes.
Greengage plums are unusually
easy to can and are very we'll liked.
The fruit is washed and cooked
slowly in heavy syrup until ten
der. Seal in hot sterilized jars.

move unlicensed signs from the State
highways in accordance with the
billboard law passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, will be con-
Quoted the middle of August, Harry
D. Williar, Jr., chief engineer of the
State Roads Commission, announces.
In two days the Roads Commits
sion recently removed more than 49,
250 illegal and obsolete sings from
Maryland highways. The campaign
revealed data on many other signs
which should be removed or stamped
with the metal permit tags issued for
that purpose by the roads body, Mr..
Williar explained.

consisted in the removing of the
small signs. The large billboards
which are unlicensed were listed and
the owners notified to take out licens-
es or remove the signs before the
middle of August, when second
will be conducted.

biles. It remained in effect until
May, 1928, during which time the
motorists paid total of $1,119, 931, :
6S2 into the Federal government.
There can be no possible iustifi-
cation during peace times for the
Treasury Departments proposal that
this so-called nuisance tax should
be revived in view of the fact that
motorists of today are paying approx
mately $1,000, 900, 600 annually in
motor vehicle taxes, or almost as
much as was raised during the ten
years when the Federal government
collected the excise tax" declared j.
Borton Weeks, president of the A.
M. A.
"The average gasoline tax in 1880
was 1886 cents gallon. Ten states
thus far this year have increased
their gasoline tax. Imposition Of a
1-cent Federal tax would mean an
average of gasoline tax of nearly 5
cents and would add a burden of
$157, 614, 600 annually to the taxes al
ready paid by motorists" the A. M.
A. s statement declares.
The Associations figures show
what the one-cent Federal gasoline
tax imposition would mean to each
state. In Maryland the additinal tax
would amount to 81, 1923, 900.

WALKERS HAVE RIGHTS

Pedestrians have right to use the
highways the same as horse drawn
vehicles and automobiles, but the
right should be tempered by thoughts
of safety.
Pedestrians should reverse the rule
of keep to the right" and walk on
the left side of the road, safety ex-
perts point out. By walking on the
left side of the highway the pedes-
trian is facing danger and can avoid
in much easier. This rule of walk
ing to the left is most imperative at
night when dazzling lights blind the
motorist and render it impossible to
see pedestrians in the road.
1t is true that the motorist has an
obligation to preform on the highway
and he must be on the alert to see
that he does no harm to pedestrians,
but the man on foot has equal obli-
cations and it is up to him to keep
out of the way and to cause no situa-
ton to arise which might imperil
his life or the safety of motorists.
Motorists travelling at high rate
of speed, yet within the law, cannot
stop or swerve fast enough to avoid
DANGER when II iumnS ont at them.
Sometimes breaks do not function,
sometimes drivers are drunk or sick
or irresponsible on account of fatigue,
so no pedestrian should adopt the
'shit me if you dare" attitude. The
pedestrian should use every precau-
ton for safety when travelling the
highway, for it is futile to argue
about right of the road after being
hit by an automobile.
