So you needn't depend on your own
judgment or on the price you pay to
find out how good a new broom is. You
can look at the label and find out.
There are three grades of brooms sold
for household use. One is the super
grade, which is made from specially
picked broom corns of the highest or
A quality: the second broom is of the
fancy grade, made from corns of the
regular run of A quality. And the
third is the broom made Of corns of
B quality. This is still good quality
of broom corn. This grade of broom is
called the service grade. There are still
other brooms-the warehouse and in
dustrial brooms, the better of which
is made Of B broom corns, and the
poorer Of which Is made of C broom

Men to Prevent Mishaps
May Be Accepted Now.

President Hoover may accept Vir-
ginia'S offer to provide q motor cycle
police escort for the motorcade carry
ing White House parties to and from
the Presidents Rapidan lodge.
Such an offer was made following o
minor accident about a year ago to a
car conveying Lawrence Richey, a presi-
Dental secretary, back to Washington
from the fishing camp. but President
Hoover deemed the police escort I'M
necessary.
1t Is claimed that motor cycle escort
could have prevented the collision FRI

MARYLAND DRIVES
AGAINST SPEEDERS
All Available State Police to
Patrol Highways to Cut
Fatalities.
Special pisnatch to The star.

BALTIMORE. Md, July lin an
effort to reduce the number Of autonlo-
bile fatalities, which have shown a
steady increase every month this year,
E.. Austin Baughman, commissioner Of
motor vehicles, today ordered the State
police to keep a strict watch for auto
mobile speeders. Every available trooper
will be on duty tomorrow. with extra
patrols on all the main highways Of
the State.
The restriction will not be effected
gradual development. with the hope
that fast drivers will be generally
checked, the commissioner declared.
Fatalities Increase.
According to records Of accidents
compiled by the department, there were
81 more fatalities in automobile crashes
during the first six months of this year
than in 1880, and So more than in the
same period Of 1929. This increase is
due to speeding, the commissioner
thinks.
'It stands to reason that high rates
of speed cause most of our accidents"
he said today. Under the present type
of highway construction dangerous
curves and other trafic hazards are re-
moved and everything is being done to
make the driving conditions safe for the
motorist.
Under these improved conditions
there can be no other answer for the
number Of fatalities on high
ways than that the motorists drive their
cars so fast that they cannot keep them
in full control at all times"
Others At Point Of Death.
In commenting on the 80 persons
killed during June, MIR. Baughman said
that there were a number Of other per-
sons injured during that month who
are lying at the point Of death at va
rious hospitals in the State, several Of
whom in all probability will die.
In announcing the start Of his ef-
forts to reduce speeding the commits
sioner issued an appeal to motorists Of
Maryland to cooperate by voluntarily
decreasing the speed at which they
usually travel without waiting to be
brought into court by the State police.
