Bill To Re-examine
All Auto Drivers,
License Mechanics
State Senator AltfeId Plans To
File Measure At Next Session
OF Legislature

State licensing of automobile me-
chanics and the re-examination of all
automobile drivers in Maryland will
be the subjects of discussion at con-
ference to be held TINS week between
State Senator E. Milton Altfeld and
E. Austin Baughman, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles.
Senator Altfeld said he will intro
duce in the next State Legislature
bills to compel the licensing of all
automobile mechanics and the re-ex-
animation of drivers.
Would lie Protection
The licensing bill, he said, would be
protective measure for all automo-
bile owners in the State, since it
would permit only qualified mechan-
les to work on automobiles.
"My greatest interest, however, is
in the denomination bill" Senator
Altfeld said, 81 have been told that
since 1910 about 100000 persons have
been authorized as automobile driv-
ers. Maryland is one of the few States
that does not provide for ex-exaniina-
ton. some States making it obliga-
tory annually and even bi-annually.
"Since 1910 many Of the authorized
drivers have become either mentally
or physically deficient. know of one
man who last his mind, regained his
faculties and still holds a drivers
license. There is another man of my
acquaintance who is nearly blind, yet
he drives a car.
Fears To Drive At Night

obtained fifteen years ago, but he can
hardly see. A well-known East Balti-
more physician, after an accident on
Mount Royal avenue that was nearly
fatal, told me he feared to drive at
night because he could scarcely see
at night"

Blindfolded Judge

James Hawkins Peck. Missouri's first
United States judge. dispensed justice
literally blindfOlded like the allegori-
cal figure Of the goddess Of justice, In
the days when st. Louis was a mere
fur-trading post Of only 5000 pOpula-
ton.
Judge Peck always sat on the bench
blindfOlded, affecting this covering be-
cause Of fear that light would cause
him to lose his sight Whenever he
left his home he donned the blind
fold. A servant led him to his car
riage and assisted him to his place in

him we're forced to read all essential

Short Session
OF Congress To
Convene Monday
Repeal OF 18th Amendment
And Farm Relief Among I'm
pOrtant Measures To
Come Up

Next Monday the Seventy-second
Congress will convene for its second
or lame duck, session. session which
terminates on March 4th. The Demo
Gratis, realizing that in the Seventy
third Congress they will be in com
plete control of the Federal Govern.
nenk, with q substantial majority in
both Houses, hence responsible fol
the public affairs of our Nation, will
make a strong drive to force through
during this last session of the Seven
ty-second Congress, their most press
ing reforms in the hope, thereby, Of
eliminating the necessity for a special
session of the new Congress prior to
the date for its regular assemblage in
December of 1888. Special sessions are
never popular, and the history Of
American government reveals the fact
that in the majority of instances in
which they have been called the re-
suits have been detrimental to the
party in power.
Among these measures which the
Democrats will probably try to obtain
action upon during the lame duck ses-
sion are:
~ Repeal of the 18th Amend
ment- Such an act would be most time
ly in that Al State legislatures will
convene in January, therefore would
be in q position to arrange immediate
ly for elections to special Constitu-
tional conventions for the ratification
of such repeal; also for repeal of
State acts supporting the Amend
ment; and for the enactment of such
laws as were deemed necessary to reg
ulate the sale of liquors. Ratification
only requires thirty-six states-or
three-fourths Of the total.
(2) The passage of an appropria-
ton bill which will balance the budget
yet at the same time reduce Federal
governmental expenditures to the ex-
tent advocated by President Hoover
500, 100000. AS a rider, attached to
this appropriation bill there will prob
ably appear, should the Democrats be
successful in authorizing a repeal of
the 18th Amendment, an act calling
for a change in the Volstead act to-
wards the end of legalizing beer of a
small alcoholic content, and perhaps
light wines.
A tax on beer and wines added to
the present revenue, plus 500, OOO,-
600 retrenchment in governmental ex-
penditures, would, in the opinion of
many Democrats, balance the budget.
(S) The enactment of bill to re-
heve the farmers. The President-elect
favors the so-called acreage domestic
allotment plan.

Walking Soda Fountain

America is the home of soda water.
the Montreal Family Herald observes.
When Americans took charge of the
Panama canal construction. the intro
duction Of soda water to the isthmus
soon followed and the result was-a
walking soda fountain. The black
woman vendor balanced her soda
fountain on top of her head and dis
pensed her drinks with one single
glass tumbler to the Jamaican work
men employed on the canal. She had
three or four varieties Of fiavOrs, and
her soda water actually was only plain
water. However. her customers seemed
satisfied with the drinks.

Did You Ever
Stop To Think

Some people are born to economize
some achieve economy, and the whole
country is having economy thrust
upon it with the result that the eco
nomy broadcasts being sent out by an
organized minority of the people are
doing much to keep the depression
with US.
If there is one moral principle in
what is being forcibly thrust upon a
long suffering public, it is that silly
idea that each and every one, in
GLIDING the government, has to prac-
tice economy to such an extraordinary
degree as advocated.
1t is remarkable that these vicious
economy talks have not brought about
a much worse state of affairs.
Drastic economy means the reduc-
ing of the purchasing power of the
individual, which in turn means loss of
trade to retailers. AS a result, wages
are cut down and many thrown out of
employment. This necessitates still
further economy and still further loss
in the internal or self contained trade
of the country and the reduction in
prices of commodities.
There is very little credit to be OBJ
tanned in fiattering oneself that one
has acquired the science and art of
economy 10 perfection when the plight
of ones neighbor is plainly seen.
This country has valuable assets
and credits which in time will un-
doubleday create a normal revenue. In
such circumstances is it not sound
finance to utilize this potential wealth
of the country as a means of obtain
ing sufficient money to tide the coun-
try over? In addition to that, with a
steady decreasing revenue at the pres
ent time, the government should in
stitute reasonable reductions in ex-
penses, but within limits. Proceeding
beyond that and practicing parsimony
toward disabled world war veterans
and paralyzing business, markets, and
the buying power of the people by
rabid economy talks and actions would
further retard recovery.

Sparrow Neglected BY
TransIators of Bible

The sparrow may not be an exceed
ingly important bird but 1t certainly
deserves better usage than 1t received
from the translators of what is known
as our Authorized Version Of the Bible.
Its Hebrew name was tsippor, says a
writer In the Montreal Family Herald,
which occurs some thirty-two times In
the original. but Ia translated sparrow
in only two places, Psalm "a. 8: "Yea,
the sparrow hath found an house and
the swallow a place." and Psalm 1O2 :
Z: Il am as a sparrow alone upon the
hOuse-tOp." In other places 1t is set
down In our Bibles simply as a bird.
What spirit Of dlvinatiOn instructed
King James scholars to differentiate
between the 'tsippOrs" In the two
Psalms and the ''tslppOrs" elsewhere
no man may say, but so far as any
one has been informed 1t would ap-
pear that the sparrow received less
than fair play at their hands, however
wisely their choice was exercised In
some cases
Generally faithful little mothers,
true to their task Of rearing their
brOOds. are hen-sparrows, restless and
disconsolate when driven from their
eggs, as the nature-loving writer Of
Proverbs 27:8. notes, when seeking
for a parallel to man who finds him
self out Of his proper station In life:
"As a sparrow that VANDERBILT from
her nest. so is a man that VANDERBILT
from his place"

Placing Horseshoe

There is no agreement among be-
levers in this superstition as to how
good luck can best be obtained by the
placing Of q hanging horseshoe. One
way is to place it with ends pointing
upward 80 that the luck will not run
ont" The most usual way Of hanging
a horseshoe is with the ends pointing
down, this being based on the idea
that the protective powers Of the
horseshoe are associated in some way
with the nimbus or halo pictured
around the heads Of saints and angels
In the Middle ages horseshoes were
hung on the thresholds of houses in
order to ward or witches.

formed that drivers licenses granted
persons now dead still are being used
by friends or relatives. He said he did
not believe there would be much OBJ
lection to the bill, since all automobile
drivers would realize that it would

R|CH PAYsTR[lk IsiH FOUND BY DRAKULA
 IN L|vENCOOD CAMP

Rich pay dirt rivaling the best found in the Livengood camp has been uncovered on Livengood Creek by Sam Drakula and Max Miller. They are into a payStreak simi- lar to the ones discovered in the camps palmy days. Their ground goes dollar to the pan
 Since Miller left Livengood the richer ground was found, accord ing to Tino Gallinatti who arrived in Fairbanks recently by plane. There is a large block of it in sight now.
 Drakula struck a high reef of bedrock and along a 15-foot face the dollar pans were taken at ran- som. It is the same kind of a payStreak and on the same ground from which Mike Kelly and Jim Sampson made fortune years ago.
 Drakula and Miller are said to have another fortune in sight. Gallinatti also brought word that Bill Mahan and John SimonS have struck pay in two places on the Wheeler ground back of Livengood.
 Tony Silva has found pay in four tunnels on the famous Letrum and is putting on a crew, according to the Fairbanks News Miner.

on the eminence overlooking the fort and was
well under way In December of the same
year nearly $4,000 had been expended the
work, and the octagon tower had been COM
pleted together with a brick magazine and
barracks Congress was informed that the
tower was intended to defend the fort in the
rear. 1t contained guns, while there were
13 guns in the fort proper
In remarkably short time the chance was
afforded to test the value Of the brand new
defense on the Potomac, and the manner in
which the opportunity was embraced must
have been humiliating indeed to those who
had had hand in the creation of the fort.
During the War Of 1872 the people Of Alex
andria and of the Maryland and Virginia
shores Of the river apparently considered Fort
Washington their largest single defense against
the British. 1t Is recorded that on August
Ii, 1914, an observer who had been stationed
at Point Lookout sent word to the fort that
the enemy's fleet had been reinforced by a
formidable squadron of ships of various sizes.
The next day Gen. Winder asked the Secretary
of War whether it would not be expedient to
have vessels ready to be sunk in the Potomac
at Fort Washington or some other point to
obStruct navigation and If it would not be
proper to have the place reinforced by the
Marine Corps and by "all the boats that can
be propelled by oars that are at the City of
Washington under control of the Navy
These suggestions, If they could have been
of any avail, came too late. As the British
land forces closed in upon Washington. met the
Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg and
captured the Capital City, the enemy feet was
coming up the river. The new fort garriSoned
by about SO men under command Of Capt
Samuel T. Dyson, might as well have been
on some other river for all the protection it
afforded Washington, The "battle" which
suited in complete rout of the home team,
is described m q report OF the commsslder of
the British rfeet, a Capt Gordon:

the first time since entered the Potomac

on the opposite side Fort washington appeared
to our anxious eyes and to our great salts
faction aSsailable
"A little before sunset the squadron anchored
Just out of the gunshot. The bomb vessels at
once took up their position to cover the frigates
in the projected attack at daylight next morn
ing and began throwing shells. The garrison
to our great surprise retreated from the fort;
and a short while afterwards Fort Washington
was blown up, which left the Capital Of
America and the populous town of Alexandria
open to the squadron, without loss OF q
man. It was too late to ascertain whether this
catastrophe was occasioned by one of our shells
or whether it had been blown up by the gar
rison, but the opinion was in favor Of the
latter Still we were at a loss to account for
such an extraordinary step.
THE position was good, and its capture
would have cost us at least SO men or more,
had 1t been properly defended; besides an un-
favorable wind and many other chances were
in their favor, and We could have only destroy
ed it had we succeeded in the attempt.
"At daylight the ship moored under the
battery and completed its destruction. The
guns were spiked by the enemy; We otherwise
mutilated them and destroyed the carriages.
Fort Washington was a most respectable
defense; it mounts two 52-pounders, two 81
Founders, eight 24-pounders; in a martello
tower two 12-pounders, with two loopholes for
musketry; and battery in the rear mounting
two IL and two pound feldpieces."
A MEXICAN officials must have agreed with
n the British captain that the fort was not
properly defended for Capt. Dyson was court
martialed for abandoning it as he did and dis
missed from the service of the United States.
They must also have agreed with the enemy
commander that the fort was a most re-
spectacle defense" for almost Immediately
