DECREASE In FATAL AUTO
ACCIDENTS

There is an impressive de-
crease in fatal accidents last
month as compared to the same
period last year, according to
r. Austin Baughman, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles.
During October 1881 fifty
seven persons lost their lives
in automobile accidents, the
Commissioner explained; but
from the first of the month UNI
til Monday only twenty-nine
fatalities have been reported.
"This year the motorists of
Maryland are killing only one
person a day when last year
they killed two a day." he con-
tinued. "True, the fatalities
have been reduced one-half,
but even that is not a salts
factory reduction.
''Must this unnecessary
slaughter continue? Has the
public conscience become so
hardened that it should supine-
ly accept this waste of life as
inevitable?
"This office is doing all in its
power to make the highways
safe, but it must have the CO.
operation of the motorists.
ITO date, only $4,000 owners
have had their cars inspected.
Our records should show 1OO,-
900 machines had been approx
ed.
"This lack of public spirit
can be laid to carelessness and
Incidence. There are now 1913
inspectio nstations to do the
work. There is really no ex-
cuse for delay.
II strongly urge those mo-
torists who are riding in cars
as yet unapproved to get them
inspected Immediately. It is
about time the public reused it
self to the painful fact that
these deaths could have been
avoided"

Pillow TOMATO LAND IN
FALL

Fall or early winter blowing
OF land which is to be planted
in tomatoes next spring is rec
commended as one of the best
methods of reducing losses
from leaf blight or leaf spot
disease, according to the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension
Service. These two diseases
cause an annual average loss
OF about thirteen per cent of
the tomato crop in Maryland
and are the principal reason
for the dropping OF leaves be-
fore frost.
The small, mold-like plants,
called fungi, which cause the
diseases, are able to live over
winter on tomato plant stems,
refuse and weeds if this mater
ial is left above ground, ac-
cording to H. A. Hunter, Can
ming Crops Specialist. How
ever, if these plants are plow-
ed under and thoroughly cover
ed in the fall or winter, good
control should be accomplish
ed. Fall blowing, whether the
field was planted in tomatoes
the past year or not is advised
because the seed or spores of
the disease organisms become
widely spread from one field to
another before the end of the
tomato season and weeds in
fields not planted may become
infected.
AS a further precaution, the
location of the plant beds
should be changed each year.
If impossible or undesirable to
make this change all plant ref
use should be turned under in
the fall or winter as recon-
mended for field control. One
of the organisms causing the
leaf diseases also causes collar
rot, or black stem disease, SO
the above recommendations
will aid in controlling this di-
sease as we'll as leaf spot.

asking If it would be possible to try

With so little information as to the

through to police headquarters in a

NEW MARYLAND SWEET
POTATO
'Md. Golden Sweet" Originat-
ed AT University OF Md.
Makes Hit

A new variety of sweet pota-
to, called the Maryland Golden
Sweet, which was originated
by T. H. White, Olericulturist
and Floriculturist at the Uni
versity of Maryland Expert
ment Station, is becoming very
popular on the New YORK
market ana is selling at the
present time for twenty-five
cents more per bushel than
other varieties. The reason
for it's popularity is the rich
golden color OF the potato,
both inside and out. In fact,
so well has the potato won its
way into the hearts of the res
idents of Gotham that it's vir-
tues were extolled recently
from a New York radio station.
In addition to color the
Maryland Golden Sweet has
other characteristics which
make it popular with the pOta-
to growers. 1t has been found
to be ten days earlier than the
Bigstem and gives a good yield
on one farm in Wicomico.
county a yield Of 292 bushels to
the acre was obtained as COM
pared with $50 bushels from
the Bigstem. Both varieties
were grown in the same field
under precisely the same con-
ditiOns.
Thirteen acres of Maryland
Golden Sweet potatoes passed
the field inspection for certifi-
cation and anyone interested in
purchasing any of the seed
should get in touch with J. p.
Brown, County Agent, Sails

WEST NOTTINGHAM est.
ANDREWS 6

West Nottingham Academy
met their first surprise in a
fairly regular season when the
fighting team from st. An
drews held them to a 6 to 6 tie
last Saturday at Middletown.
Coach Whitaker, of w. N. A.
sent his second team line and
| two second string backs in to
start the game. The alter
mates fought hard but along
about the middle of the second
period, the st. Andrews attack
aided by continuous penalties on
the West Nottingham line,
drove the ball over the goal
line for the first score. The
goal was missed.
The Nottingham varsity took
the field to start the second
half and inside three minutes
play, Armstrong broke loose
and tore go yards to a touch
down, but the play was called
back for a penalty. Twice
more before the game was over
the Nottingham eleven lost
touchdowns on penalties. En-
couraged by their lead and by
the fact that the Nottingham
team could not score, the St.
Andrews eleven were fighting
like they have never yet fought
this season. On the other
hand, the w. N. A. players,
egar to balance the score that
the scrubs has allowed, were
charging offside time after
time. Finally Metzgar and
Bowles got away for successive
long gains and put the ball in
scoring position once again.
This time no penalty stopped
them, and the Maroon and
White counted when Metzgar
crashed through the center of
the line. His attempt for the
goal was low. Gaining pos
session of the ball just a few
minutes before the close of the
game, the Nottingham team
once again started up the field,
rolling up three consecutive
first downs. but the game end
ed before another score could
be accomplished.
Starting the game as they
did, the Nottingham eleven
was never a unit, and it was
this united power that was re-
sponsible for the crushing de-
feats handed to Patton and
Wilmington.

Trans-C Canada long distance tele-
phone service is now in operation.
This all-Canada telephone system con-
meets the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards with direct circuits between
important cities. Previous to the con-
struction of this new line, telephone
calls between Canadian cities in the
east and west were routed partially
over the Bell system lines in this
country.
Transcontinental service in the
United States was established JAN
uary rs, 1915. Subsequently two other
transcontinental routes were con-
structed ON which additional circuits
were placed from time to time to meet
service requirements.
The new trans-Canada telephone
lines were designed, according to the
Bell Telephone Quarterly to coordi-
nate with the general long distance
switching system in the United States.
Operation of these lines makes pos
sible the interconnection Of a large
number of telephones in British Co.

speed of telephone service with thirty
years ago, when fifteen minutes de-
lay was considered excellent compile
ton time for long distance telephone
calls. In many cases there were even
longer delays.
Early In this century many COM
munities now having telephone serv-
ice could talk only among themselves.
Then there were no long distance
lines for distances longer than 1000
miles. Often on relatively short
distance call one had to shout to
make himself heard and sometimes
could hardly be heard at all. Today

MARYLAND TURKEY CROP
LARGER

The number of turkeys on
Maryland farms on October l
this year was about eight per
cent larger than the number on
hand a year ago, according to
Richard G.. Ross, agricultural
statistician for the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service. In
creases were general in all
parts of the country and in all
of the 80 states making esti-
mates except Illinois. The
number in all states is about Is
per cent greater than last year.
Turkeys have developed
more slowly than usual this
year and growers report that
about 40 per cent of the crop
will be ready for Thanksgiving
marketing. as compared with
43 per cent last year; As per
cent for the Christmas mark
cts, compared with 48 per cent
last year; and 10 per cent will
not be ready until after the
Holidays. against 8 per cent a
year ago. This condition is
reported in most parts of the
country.
The increased numbers this
year were due both to more
farmers raising turkeys than
last year and to larger average
numbers of turkeys per flock.
There was also a considerable
increase this year in large
scale or commercial produc-
ton, especially in a number of
the Middle Western States.

''The Cat and the Fiddle
comes to Baltimore after the
seasons record run of fifty
three weeks in New York.
There has been much argu-
ment as to whether a musical
play needs a chorus or whether
it is better without one. In
''The Cat and the Fiddle" Max
Gordon offers to demonstrate
that the right course lies some
where between the two ex-
tremes. This play has no
chorus in the conventional
sense; no regiments of men
and girls rushing on and off
the stage for no sensible rea-
son. At the same time, it has
an unusually large cast, an
army of stage hands is requir-
ed to handle the production,
and the orchestra is symphonic
in proportions and quality.
1t is play within a play. A
young Rumanian composer of
serious aims meets in Brussels
an American girl who writes
Jazz music, and falls in love
with her. They part. And a
