Quoted from October Is to November
80, E. Austin Baughman, commiss-
Toner of Motor Vehicles, announced
yesterday.
Heretofore, the state has required
only brakes, lights, horns, steering
mechanism, windshield wipers, and
rear-view mirrors to be in good shape,
but extending the inspection it is
hoped to insure greater safety.
Much-worn tires, especially those
with the fabric showing are extreme
ly dangerous, and cracked glass wind
shield or window is also dangerous.
Fragments of it may be dislocated by
a jar or a strong wind, and injure
occupants of the machine.
"The muffler is not very important
as a safety factor, but when it is
noisy it can be extremely annoying.
The law requires an adequate, that is,
a silent muffler.
"a check of all driving licenses will
be made to prevent those whose peN-
mits have expired, or have been sus-
pended or revoked, from operating"
There will be several authorized
stations in Oakland and throughout
the county.

UNEMPLOYMENT SURVEY
BEING MADE BY TEACHERS
Condition of Families of School
Children To Be Investigated
Welfare Worker Here
TO ASK FOUR QUESTIONS

How many families with children
in school are there in Garrett county
in which the wage earners are totally
unemployed? How many families
with children in school are there in
Garrett county in which the wage
earners are employed one or two days
a week? How many families with
children in school are there in Gar
rett county in which the wage earn
ers are employed three or four days
a week? How many children are
there in Garrett county out of school
for lack of shoes and clothing?
These four questions are being
asked of every teacher in Garrett
county regarding the families of the
children in their schools. In order
that the Board of County Commission
ers of Garrett county may determine
with some degree of accuracy the eX-
tent of unemployment and underem-
ployment in the county, so far as
families having children in school are
concerned, the Board of Education and
the County Superintendent are coop
Grating with the Board of County
Commissioners in securing the an
swers to the four questions given
above, by placing in the hands of the
principals and teachers question
aire on which this information is to
be recorded. The information will be
returned to the office Of the Board on
Wednesday, October 10.
It was felt that of all persons in
the county the teachers could give the
most complete picture of circumstan-
ces in the school families of their COM
munities and the principals and teach
ers have shown a willingness to CO.
1t is pointed out that while the total
figures will not be and cannot be, all
inclusive and entirely accurate, they
will nevertheless be good index of
the problem which has to be faced
this winter. They will give scientific
data on which the County Commits
sioners can plan for the months ahead.
Everyone is familiar with the work
done in the county last winter in the
way of relieving hunger and distrib-
uting shoes and clothing.
If families with children in school
are not included by any principal or
teacher in the survey or investigation
being made by them in this connec-
ton, they are requested to see their
local teacher and have it included.
Miss Anita j. Faatz, Baltimore,
State Supervisor of Social Welfare
and Field Worker of the Governors
Advisory Committee on Unemploy-
ment, is in this county at the pres
ent time and is assisting by meeting
the teachers in the assembling of this
information. Every person interested
in relieving possible distress from I'M
employment and relieving the prob
lens of the unfortunate is urged to
lend his or her best efforts in making
this survey as complete and ALIEN
bracing as possible, which may be
done directly by comforting and adj
vising with any school principal in
the county.
Miss Faatz has visited several of
the towns in the county since her ar
rival on Monday, including Crellin,
Kitzmiller, Shallmar, VindeN Oak
land, Grantsville, Swanton and will
visit Jennings and other parts of the
county before returning to Baltimore
tomorrow.

RICHARDS RELEASED FROM
CUSTODY; IS SENT HOME
Bigamy Charge is Not Preferred
By Mother of Girl He Brought
to Oakland and Married
LIVES IN MINNESOTA

William King Richards, "a, who was
held by authorities in Morgantown,
West Va, pending an investigation
after he had brought an eighteen
year-old girl to Oakland and married
her when it is alleged he already had
a wife, was released from the Nor
gantown Jail last Friday evening. The
mother of the girl did not ask that he
be held on any specific charge, al
though she conferred frequently with
the State officers.
A telegram from Richards mother
at Mankato, Minnesota, pleaded that
her son be sent home. Richards stat
ed that he was from Akron, Ohio.
The woman who swore out a war
rant for his arrest because he had
failed to pay a board bills said she was
willing to withdraw the charge, and
the only other charge against him,
that of using an assumed name, was
heard and the minimum fine of 81
and costs rendered.
When arrested last Sunday night,
October 2, he told officers that he was
George B. Smith" The Mononga-
liza county lunacy commission declared
Richards sane, clearing up any doubt
about his mental state.
Richards and the girl came to Oak
land on Friday night, September 30,
and were married on Saturday morn
ing by local minister. The couple
then "thumbed" their way back to
Morgantown, after which the girl dis
appeared, later turning up in Phila-
delphia, Pa, where she is visiting her
father, a former Morgantown resi-
dent.
Fingerprints Taken
Richards was fingerprinted at the
Morgantown city Jail, despite threats
that he would not submit to the
printing except under force. None
was used, however, but the prisoner
attacked Chief Smith verbally with
what was declared as one of the most
bitter outbursts of scathing criticism
ever heard in the Morgantown City
building, when the ordeal ended. The
prints and pictures taken of the sus-
pect were broadcast to Federal and
State police bureaus.
A money order for $40 was re-
ceived at the Western Union under
the name of Smith, which was being
held pending the final outcome of the
proceedings.
