Urge Change In Maryland
Automobile Laws

Scoring suggestions for compul-
sorry automobile insurance in Mary
land, Governor Ritchie's Motorist
Financial Responsibility Commission
proposes enactment of law that
would penalize only drivers found
guilty of major traffic violations or
who have been unable to pay dam
ages levied against them.
The recommendation was embodi-
ed in report to the Governor, and
represents the fruit of three years ,
deliberation by the commission APP
pointed in 1927 and reappointed in
1929.
Under the law which the commits
sion, headed by Harrison Rider,
State Insurance Commissioner, pro-
poses every motorist found guilty of
a major traffic violation automati-
cally would be deprived's of his reg
istration and drivers license until
ne could offer proof of his ability to
meet damages against him up to
$4,000.
Similarly, any motorist unable to
pay damages levied against him up
to $1,000 in case of injury to person,
or up to $4,000 in case of injury to
two or more persons, would have
his registration and drivers license
suspended. He could secure their
return only by satisfying the judy
ment or judgments against him I'D
to the $1,000, 5000 or $4,000 limits
respectively specified and, in addi-
ton, furnishing proof of his ability
to meet future judgments up to
$4,000.
The clause excusing first failure
OF motorist to meet judgment of
less than 500 in personal or prop
erty damage suit was inserted, it
was said, to prevent choking the
machinery for enforcing the law
with myriad of petty cases.
Major traffic violations, as defined
in the measure, would be: Operat-

Story Of "Robiu Adair"

Robin Adair was a young medical
student. When he was twenty-five
years old he left his medical studies
to go to London. While on his way
he was run over by the coach of a
London society woman. She assisted
him to that city, becoming his patron
ess. After he became established in
society there, Robin Adair fell in love
with Lady Caroline Keppel, daughter
of the earl of Albemarle Disapprov-
ing of the match, her father banished
her to Bath. 1t was there that she
wrote robin Affair."" When her health
became endangered by her brooding
over the love affair, consent was given

Camels in America

Camels have been introduced into
the southwestern part of the United
States, but without permanent eco
nOmic success. The United States
government spent much money and
pains acclimating camels as an army
transport service In the dry south
western regions, about 1857; the Civil
war interrupted the arrangements. but
the attempts made by private hands to
utilize the animals were not profitable.
Many were turned loose and remained
wild along the Mexican border, but
multiplied very little, and they are
now supposed to be extinct in North
America.

Old English Weather Vanes

Its use on famous old structures in
England shows that the weather vane
must have been invented at very
early date. On towers, castles and
secular buildings its usual form was
that of banner; but on churches 1t
usually took the form of the rooster.
The large tail Of the cock was well
adapted to turn with the wind.
Many churches have for vane the
emblem of the saints to whom they
are dedicated. st. Peters, London,
is topped by a large key. and st.
Laurence's, a gridiron. st. Sepulchre's
church has four pinnacles, each hav-
ing a vane, leading to the saying
Unreasonable people are as hard to
reconcile as the vanes Of st. Sepul-
chre's tower"

SAVE YOUR EYES
Early Attention Important

The demands of modern civiliza-
ton are too great on unframed eyes.
The endless hours of near point fixa-
ton are wholly unnatural, resulting
in failures, creating social misfits,
who tend to become enemies of So
ciety, and making real success inn
possible.
Back in the primitive world, the
hunter needed eyes to see at distance
and adjusted to a nicely for the
spear thrust. Today, the child with
eyes adjusted for that purpose is
absolutely handicapped in this moo :
ern near-point world.
Eye defects, acquired in childhood,
are oftentimes allowed to go too far
for complete correction. The near
sighted child is not an unfortunate
child, he Isl neglected child. If got
ten in time, near-sightedness could
be eliminated from the face of the
earth.
Mothers of today must know how
to care for and train the eyes of their
children. They must know how to
recognize the first signs of eyestrain,
headaches, nervousness, blurry vi
sion, redness, frequent blinking or
S luinting,) and they must relize the
Importance of eyestrain receiving
skilled attention and correction in its
early stages.
The future of the child, his edu-
cation, his success in life depends
upon the efficiency of his eyesight.
The development and training of
tlat eyesight is dependent to great
extent upon the attention and care
given it early in life.

Rats Victims Of Oysters

On the northeast coast of Ireland,
near Donegal, oysters have been
growing to enormous size, and it was
observed that thousands of rats were
going down to the beach, never to re-
turn. One day fisherman found the
answer. A rat crept up to an oyster
in shallow water. There was high
pitched screech-and the next wave
covered both bivalve and rodent. The
rats nose was caught between the
oysters shells and he had been
dragged to death.
Thousands Of rats have died in this
manner, for the shellfish is inevitably
the victor. The appetite for oysters
around Donegal has diminished, but
so has the rat menace, so the people
are satisfied London Answers.

THE WHIPPING POST FOR
CHICKEN THIEVES
Resolution Passed At Meeting
OF Farm Bureau

A resolution was adopted at a
meeting of the Maryland Farm
Bureau, held in Baltimore on Friday
advocating the use of whipping post
to control chicken stealing.
Poultry stealing has been on the
increase in the state, particularly on
the Eastern Shore, it was said, and
Delaware was cited as one State hav-
ing whipping penalties for petty
thievery.
Establishment of a five-year pro-
gram for the development of agricul-
ture in Maryland was indorsed in an
other resolution.
1t was felt by officials of the fed
Grafton that the farmers of the State
should concentrate largely in the
raising of crops which are readily
consumed, such as dairy products,
fruits and vegetables.
James w. Davis, as president, and
E. Thomas Massey, of Kent County,
vice-president, were reelected to
serve their sixth consecutive terms.
Frank M. Payne, Friedrich, was
named secretary-treasurer to take
the place of M. Melvin Stewart. who
has held that office for eight years.
President Davis declared that,
while Maryland farmers were un-
complaining, as rule, many of them
! would need assistance in earring on
their work later and in attempting to
recover from last years financial loss
attributable to the drought and esti-
mated at $40, 100000.

by the drought last summer were

The week beginning January II is
National Thrift Week. 1t is a good
idea, to turn peoples minds to the
subject of thrift at least once a year.
This year it is particularly timely.
Thrift, as we understand it, means
spending less than one earns, buy
ing carefully as to value and also as
to ability to pay out of surplus earn
ings, and building up reserve that
will tide one over a period of unem-
ployment or illness and eventually
take care of old age.
II is that sort of thrift which those
back of National Thrift Week are
trying to teach.

strong,
Who says when he has not
done right,
Forgive me, | was wrong.
Would mean so much TO all of
us,
Amid the busy throng,
When we have not done right,
to say,
Forgive me, | was wrong.
Perhaps we mean to say it;
Don't put it off too long.
The golden years are passing;
Opportunity may be gone.
The battle may be hard to fight,
But trust in God and do the
right;
Keep the faith; to Him DE true

Maryland Legislature

Gov. Albert C. Richie, in his mes
sage to the General Assembly at its
opening Jan. Z, called for apolicy OF
retrenchment in governmental ex-
penditures during the next two years
and revealed that, through such
policy in the drawing of the budget
the State tax rate is to be held at its
present level of % cents for 1882 and
1888.
The 25-cent rate represents re-
duction of 80 per cent from the rate
of 1920, which was So 5 cents.
The initial session of the biennial
meeting of the General Assembly of
Maryland, at Annapolis, adjourned
Thursday afternoon, the 9Th, to re-
convene on Tuesday of this week.
The Governors recommendations
for budgetary expenditures for 1882
and 1888 total ST., 1888, 727.08. OF
this 1874, 800, 1921 would be spent
for maintenance in 1882 and is an
increase of "a, 513, $3.50 over that
granted for 1881. The requests for
maintenance for 1888 pass those for
1882 by 81, 1858, 1O1. 46.
For public building construction in
1882 and 1888 the Governor recon-
mended the appropriation of 81, 1884,
468, plus an additional 1000, 900 for
construction of roads and bridges.
His recommendations for public
buildings expenditures is approx
mately $12, 900, 600 less than that re-
quested by the various State depart
ments and institutions.
In other recommendations to the
Legislative bodies the Governor call
ed for more liberal provision for
welfare institutions and schools, de-
velopment of better county health
organizations, extension of the
facilities of the motor-vehicle laws,
and a comprehensive study by the
representatives of the proposal re-
commended by the State Bay Bridge
Commission for spanning the Chesa-
peake Bay.
On this item his statement in part
is as follows: The commission is Of
opinion that the State should not
issue. its own bonds to build a bridge
across the Chesapeake Bay, because
assuming that the cost would not
exceed SIC, OOO, 900, it would subject
the taxpayers to too severe a burden
to pay the interest and retire the
bonds in fifteen years, as the Con.
stiution requires. Ar
