Samson Raphaelson, who has writ

LubitSch's philosophy of picture
making is summed up by Raphael

Each picture, each scene, each line

CAST AT THE PALACE

Montgomery make their first ap-
pearance together as co-stars of
"Faithless," a Metro Goldwyn
Mayer production which opened
Friday at Loew's Palace.

ing frankly with an important

sophisticated personalities of its
stars.
Miss Bankhead, who was bor-
rowed from Paramount by Metro

role, as Carol Morgan, is a young
girl on whom wealth has been
rained. But she has never been
taught the adage about a rainy
day"
When it comes, through the
financial upheaval which has left
many Of the nations wealthiest des-
titute and without hope in the past
few years the girl goes down in the
deluge, carrying her lover, Robert
Montgomery, with her. Together,
after many heart-breaks and dis
couragements they try to fight up
ward.
In minor roles there are Hugh
Herbert, Maurice Murphy, Louise
Closer Hale, Anna Appel, Lawrence
Grant and Henry Kolker.
"Faithless" was adapted from the
original story of that name by Mil
dred Cram.
Short subjects comprising the
balance of the program include
Laurel and Hardy's latest "Scram: :"
a Walt Disneys Silly Symphony
Cartoon filmed entirely in techni-
color; King Neptune" a James
Fitzpatrick Traveltalk; Romantic
Argentine" and the last issue of the

pie and instrumental in the develop
nent of Western Maryland.

of leadership both in business way
and socially, making the name of
Broadwater the outstanding name

AUTHORITIES AT ODDS
OVER POTOMAC FISHING
Maryland Contends Licenses are
Necessary; West Va. Says Not

The placid waters of the Potomac
and the fish in their depths, again are
the subject of controversy that has
bobbed up repeatedly for generations
can Virginians and West Virginians
fish in the stream without obtaining
Maryland licenses?
Maryland officials say mo" and the
attorney generals office in West Vir-
ginia says Eyes" and stands ready to
defend its contentious in any court of
the land.
1t all goes back lat years to time
when fish pulled from the stream
played big part in stocking the lar
ders of many Marylanders and Vir-
ginians. -
Then, in 1855, representatives of
the two states decreed that citizens of
both states should enjoy common and
equal fishing rights in the stream.
More than three-quarters of a CEN
tury later the state of West Virginia
was formed from a portion of the old
state of Virginia and officials of the
new state contended the fishing rights
were extended to the Mountain State
citizens
Periodically the right has been
questioned, the West Virginia attor-
ney generals Office says, and fire.
4uently West Virginians seeking to
claim fishing rights under the old
compact have been warned that they
must obtain Maryland fishing licenses.
The Maryland supreme court ruled
upon the controversy in a decision
that the terms of the old compact re-
lates only to tidal waters which end
at Little Falls, four miles west of
Washington. The West Virginia Off
Gals, on the contrary, hold that the
compact covers the entire stream.
Conferences of officials of the three
states, the attorney generals Office
said, resulted in "the uncompromising
attitude of the officials of the state of
Maryland in refusing to acknowledge
that the compact of 1785 is applicable
to the state of West Virginia"
Two methods of finally ending the
controversy were proposed by Attor-
ney General Howard B. Lee, in
opinion written for the West Virginia
game, fish and forestry commission
by Assistant Attorney General w.
Elliott Nefflen.
Institution of suit in the United
States Supreme Court to restrain
Maryland officials "from interfering
with the vested rights" Of West Vir-
ginians under the old compact was one
esroposed method. The other would be
determine rights under the COM
pact by institution of federal court
habeas corpus proceedings if and
when a West Virginian is arrested
%lfor alleged violation of the fishing
laws of Maryland"

SAFETY CAMPAIGNS MAKE
FATAL ACCIDENTS LESS
Accidents Among School Chill
dren Especially Are Decreased

when you see what the Safety
campaigns in the schools have accom-
plished in reducing the number of ia
tai accidents among children of school
age, you wish that something equal
ly effective could be done to reduce
the number of fatal accidents that
occur in the older age groups" DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, said in comment
ing on the report recently issued by
the National Safety Council, under
the title, Accident Facts"
"The safety education program in
the schools became national in scope
about 1924. From 1922 to 1930-the
latest year for which such COMPARE
sons are available-the general death
rate for accidents for people at all
ages, increased 16 percent. During
the same period, the general rate for
accidents for children from to Ia
decreased IL percent, and there is
good reason to believe that a large
part of this may be attributed to the
habit of taking care, that is being
developed among children by the safe
ty drills.
at is not surprising to find that the
greatest increase in the deaths from
fatal accidents at all ages has been
due to automobile fatalities, but even
here, the influence of the safety cam
paigns in the schools is noticeable.
From 1922 to 1880, the rate doubled
for auto accidents for persons at all
ages; the rate for children from 5-14,
increased only 4 percent.
"Our records for Maryland for 1881
show that out of total of 21,768
deaths from all causes, there were
1407 from accidents of some sort.
Automobile accidents were responsible
for 467 deaths; railroad accidents, "a;
railroad and automobile collisions, IA;
street car and auto accidents, Ia; and
other land transportation, accidental
deaths were Is. Accidents due to
machinery caused 10 deaths, water
transportation, 3, and air transporta-
ton, 2. There were also 279 deaths
from falls, 141 from drowning, 131
from crushing, SO from burns, and 81
from excessive heat.
"Out of $4,000 deaths due to acct
dents in the United States in 1880,
1886, or nearly one-ffth, were due
to falls. Of this total, 1909, almost
three-fourths, occurred among people
IS to rs years old or older; 7,709-42
percent of the total-occurred among
men and women rs years old, or old
er.
eve have had much the same ex-
perience in Maryland as that reported
by other States. Approximately one
death out of every five due to acct
dents was caused by fall, either in
doors or out-of-doors. Since the great
err number of injuries, fatal and
otherwise, of this sort occurred among
persons who have reached middle age,
or who were older, it is apparent that
the advice particularly needed by all
in that age group is-'Watch your
STEP"

treasurer of Bath county, is under
indictment in connection with a

ceal the true state of such
account. The Warm Springs
bank closed in April. 1881. 1t is

OPPOSES
U.S,PAY GUT

Warming that the American
standard of living is imperilled
by the threatened Federal pay
cut, was issued today by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Green says;
"The representatives of mil
lions of working men and
women who met at the head
quarters of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today re-
peated, with increased en-
phasis, their opposition to
wage reductions for Govern
ment employees.
"The workers know that if
Congress cut wages, the last
line of defense against lower
living standards for millions of
working men and women will
be broken down. Our bOaSted
American standard of living
will be a myth"
Mr.. Green declared the eX.
ample set by Congress would
serve as a signal for private
employees to do likewise. And
that the result would be inten
sified economic and social degra,
dation in the industrial sections
of the country where unemploy
nent is now at its worst.
