recommended for trial as general market

other for the Pacific Northwest. sy ,a.,

The Southland is recommended for trial
as a hieh-quality homegrown variety for
the Southern States from North Carolina
to South Georgia. and the Redheart. adapt
ed to the Pacific Northwest. is introduced
as canning berry.
The Bellmar was developed from cross
of Missionary and Howard II. In the
Southern division of the area to which it
Is adapted. it is at least week later than
the Blackmore, few days later than the
Missionary. and about week earlier than
the Howard II. In the Northern section
its season is about the same as that of
Howard II. 1t is very productive, and
bears large, attractive berries.
The Southland is the result of a cross
between Ettersburg 80 and Howard II
made in 1920. The fruit is considered
too soft for market variety. but is recon-
mended for home USE It is one Of the first
varieties to bear in the spring.
The Redheart originated from cross of

have shown it to be of superior canning
quality. The new strawberries were bred

New MaryIand Car Law.

Imposing severe financial obligations OF
all motorists who use Maryland roads. thu
automobile financial responsibility act
passed by the 1891 General Assembly anC
signed by Gov. Richie. will become effective
January 1. HI an q
Affecting not alone the residents Of
Maryland. but making motorists of all otheI
States and the District of Columbia subject
to cancellation of their right to drive in
Maryland, the new law will take its place
along with the Maryland title law. and
the annual Statewide save-a-life campaign
as means of keeping the irresponsible
driver and his dangerously decrepid ma
chine off the highways.
The law provides that operators licenses
and registration certificates shall be sus-
pended in the State of Maryland under
the following circumstances:
/. Conviction of operating motor vehi-
Gle while under the influence of liquor or
narcotic drugs.
2. Conviction of violating any Of the
motor vehicle laws of the State resulting
in the death of one or more persons.
8. Conviction of leaving the scene of an
accident without making identity known.
A. Inability of motorist to satisfy with
in 80 days any final judgment for bodily
injury or death. or judgment in excess
of $50 for damage to property of others
resulting from an automobile accident.
The law further provides that licenses
once suspended for any of the foregoing
reasons shall not at any time thereafter
be renewed unless the motorist can give
proof of his ability to pay for damage to
the property of others up to $1,000. and
for injuries to persons up to 10000.
This proof of ability to pay may be dem
onstrated in one of three ways:
1. By an insurance policy in company
regularly licensed to do business in the
State. such policy covering liability for per-
sonal injuries. with the limits of $4,000
to $4,000. and liability for damage to
property of others up to at least $1,000.
2. By bond for like amount in surety
company licensed to do business in the
State. to be deposited with the commits
sioner of motor vehicles. or personal bond
where the signers thereof own unencum-
bered real estate valued in excess of the
amounts required under the act.
8. By depositing with the State Treas
urer 1000 in cash OR collateral accept
able to the commissioner of motor vehicles
A friend or chauffeur driving the owners
car does not have to give proof Of such
ability to pay if the owner has already
filed proof.
The provisions of the act do not affect
insurance policies in force January l, 1882.
unless the policies are in companies not
authorized to do business in the State of
Maryland.
When introduced in the legislature, the
act was said to be compromise between
those who favored a compulsory liability
insurance law and those who opposed it.
Sponsors of the act declared it was in
tended to secure reimbursement for in
juries sustained BY motorists through no
fault of their own. and to impress on all
automobile owners the fact that they have
certain definite obligations to others. 1t
was evolved after careful study by spe-
cial commission named by Gov. Richie.
