Auto Code Discount
Provisions Effective
January l, 1884
Will Adjust Retail Dealers
Price List For Accessories
And Parts

Effective New Years Day, under
the terms of the Motor Vehicle Retail
Code, no person or organization ex-
cept as provided for in paragraph z,
Section B, Article Nv of the Code will
be eligible to receive discount on
parts, accessories, and or supplies.
This section of the code reads as fol-
lows and will be strictly adhered to
by the State Advisory Committee
vested with the Code enforcement and
administration in the State of Mary
Hand.
"The retail list price for parts, ac-
Icessories, and supplies will be the
manufacturers published list price adj
justed to include all taxes. 1t shall be
an unfair trade practice for any deal
er to sell such parts, accessories, and
supplies at other than retail list
prices, except to duly authorized deal
ers, associate or subdealers, or estab-
lished services stations operating I'M
der any N. R. A. Code.
In order to avoid misunderstanding
and confusion and to permit those
organizations eligible for discount
to receive such courtesy the State Adj
visery Committee has prepared list
of eligible concerns which is being re-
leased to the members of the automo-
bile industry for guidance in the grant
ing of said discounts.
AS a further means Of identified
ton each individual or organization
eligible to discount under the Code
will receive card which will permit
the one to whom the card has been
issued to purchase from any dealer, or
jobber at a discount, provided of
course that it is the policy of that
particular house to grant discount
privileges.
Dealers, sub-dealers and established
service stations are urged to secure
these discount cards from the State
Advisory Committee in order that the
list may include all those eligible and
that inconvenience and loss may be
avoided.
Applications for discount cards are
being received at the Committees
headquarters, 1900 st. Paul Street,
Baltimore.

State Motorists
Subject To Laws
In Pennsylvania
Financial Responsibility Regula'
ton Will Effect Maryland
Drivers

Maryland motorists operating cars
on Pennsylvania highways will be
subject to the provisions of the Penn
sylvania Financial Responsibility Law
effective January L, if they fail to pay
accident judgements exceeding 5000
or violate the motor laws of the
neighboring State. M
That warning was issued today by
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of the
Keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land, who quoted from an explanation
of the law prepared in pamphlet from
by j. Borton Weeks, President of the
Club. Pamphlets are available without
cost to Maryland motorists interested
in learning the extent of their respon-
sibilities under the Pennsylvania law,
which, in its general provisions, is
similar to the Maryland Responsible
ity Act.
"Failure Of nonresident (of Penn
sylvania) to satisfy judgement ex-
ceeding 5000 rendered against him
within fifteen days after it becomes
final," writes Mr.. Weeks, "makes il
illegal for him to operate in Pennsyl-
vania, and illegal for a motor vehicle
owned by him to be operated within
the State (by any person having
knowledge of such fact) until Judge
ment is paid and proof of financial
responsibility given.
"The operators privilege of a non
resident (of Pennsylvania may also
be suspended for violation of the laws
regulating the use of motor vehicles,
and in such case the privilege will not
be restored until proof of financial re-
sponsibility is given.
"Where judgement has been rend-
cred against nonresident of Penn
sylvania in a motor vehicle case, it is
the duty of the Secretary of Revenue
to send to the Commissioner of Motor
VehlcleS OF the state OF which such
person is resident, certified copy
of the judgement.
"The effect of this, in states having
similar laws, (sueh as Maryland)
would be to suspend the license and
registration certificates until the
judgement is satisfied and proof Of
financial responsibility furnished.
"The same conditions hold true for
Maryland owners operating in New
York and New Jersey"
Proof of financial responsibility un-
der the Pennsylvania Act may be
shown by insurance, surety bond or
deposit of $1,000 cash with the Penn
sylvania State Treasurer.

Jury Releases Two
Defendants Tn The
Cancer Cure Case
States Attorney Prescott Asks
Directed Verdict AS Defense
Presents Evidence

The now famous Cancer cure" case
involving the manslaughter trial of
Dr. Harry R. Street and DR.. Sherwood
Ferris, concluded suddenly Thursday
afternoon when States Attorney
Stedman Prescott made an announce
ment directing acquittal.
Prescott told the Circuit Court jury
which had been trying the two for al
most four days, that he could not ask
them to convict in the light Of the evil
dence presented by the defense. A
long parade Of former patients and
relatives of former patients had told
the jury of cures effected by the two
doctors, using the same salve the
State had commended caused the death
of Mrs. Cora L. Britton, after she had
been treated with it for a breast
cancer.
The physicians were indicted by a
grand jury, following Mrs. Britton's
death in a Baltimore hospital, to
which she was taken after nine weeks
treatment at DR.. Ferris Chevy Chase
home.
After Prescott's announcement to
the jury, Judge Charles w. Wood
ward asked them to retire and decide
upon a verdict. They returned in less
than 10 minutes with the verdict
which released the doctors.
Joseph C. Cissel of Rockville, Leon
ard Liepman of Baltimore and P. H
Marshall of Washington appeared fol
the defense.

Almost every person who develops
tuberculosis can be cured if he begins
a course of treatment as soon as the
first symptoms of the disease occur.
One of the main objects in the cam
paign to eradicate tuberculosis is,
therefore, to get these early cases
recognized promptly, and not allow
any of them to pass on to an advanc-
ed and incurable stage.
In Montgomery County constant
effort is being made to find the tuber-
culous patient in as early a stage as
possible. Cases have not been recog-
nized promptly in the past, of twenty
cases recently studied, the average
time elapsing between the first symp-
toms and the diagnosis was several
years. Only six of the twenty were
recognized within six months. In some
instances the delay was due to failure
of the patient to consult a physician;
in others to failure of him to make
those repeated visits SO, frequently
necessary for the physician to make
q final diagnosis. With such long de-
lays, only those patients who have the
good fortune to have slow developing
infections can survive. The others can
not get well. They have already pro-
gressed to the incurable stage before
they can start treatment.
Another important item in the sue
cessful cure of tuberculosis is the
avoidance of any unnecessary delay
between recognition and the beginning
of treatment. Of the twenty Mont
gomery County cases referred to, the
average time elapsing between dag
nosis and sanatorium treatment was
about three months. The waiting time
to get into the State Sanatoria is now
about two weeks so the avoidable de-
lay is two months minus two weeks.
1t is obvious that this delay in initial
ing treatment is smaller and there
fore far less important than the de-
lay in obtaining diagnosis.
In endeavoring to correct this weak
spot in it's tuberculosis program, the
County Health Department is obtain
ing detailed record of each new
tuberculosis case and is studying the
records in detail For each case these
questions are asked, If there were de
lays, why did each of them occur? L
a similar person should develop tuber

Mrs. Harriet Collins

The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Ann
Collins, "a, wife of Franklin r. Col

Potomac, following an illness of sew
eral weeks, took place from the Meth

in the church cemetery.
Mrs. Collins, who was formerly a

culosis now, would the same delays oc-
cur again? If so, it means that the
present tuberculosis program Of the
county still had weak spots. Analysis
of enough cases will show all of these
weak spots. This kind of information
together with careful application of
existing scientific knowledge should
be all that is necessary to establish a
program which will result in recogni-
ton and cure of each future case in
it's early stages.

Then Uncle Wiggily knew his
wife had fooled him. But he for

such jokes himself.

Longears, looking at the greenish-
yellow fruit, from which he had
taken large bite. "It looks like an
apple"
"It is a sort of apple" his wife
said.
"A very funny one," declared Mr.
Longears. If you call this an ap-
pie, then a lemon is a lollypop and
a bottle of vinegar is an ice cream
cone. Bur-r-r-r-r-r! But this ounce
is puckery and sour. I can hardly
open my mouth except to say
prunes, potatoes and parsnips!
chuckled the rabbit. "Are you US

stuff you are making?" he asked.

with pears, peaches or apples you
don't taste the sour" said his wife
Il should hope not!" sighed Mr.
Longears. But may have a few
of these quinces?" he asked.
Help YOURSELF answered his
wife. But I thought you didn't
like them"

rabbit gentleman. But I am going

He put some of the sour puckery
ounces that looked like apples in
his pocket and hoped along the
woodland path. Pretty soon he met

What an apples! What an ap-

''Ha! Ha! Fooled you with that
ounce, didn't -" laughed the bum

WAS that a quince?" asked the
goat. Never mind. Have you an
other, Wiggy? Here comes Twisty,
the pig. Don't say a world"
Quickly Mr.. Longears took out
another ounce. AS Mr.. Twistytail
waddled up Uncle Wiggily said:
Here, have an apple"
"Oh, thankS!" grunted the pig
gentleman. The next moment he
gave a loud squeal and his rubbery
nose wrinkled up like an elephants s
pants. "Oh, WOW, that's souri," he
grunted.
While Uncle Wiggily was laugh
ing at his joke and the pig and
goat were making funny ounce
faces, along came the Woozie Wolf.
Hal cried the Wolf, seeing the
bitten ounces on the ground. "Ill
have some apple sauce first and
then I'll nibble this rabbit" He
gobbled up the. two ounces at once
and in a moment his mouth was
SO puckered that he couldn't open
it wide enough to bite sheet of

scowling. So the ounces saved the
bunny.

READING THE PAPERS

Is newspaperdom returning once again
TO the era of personal journalism? Is it
gaming an intimate touch with the read
mented period of quick profits and
hustle and bustie? Some signs seem to
point that way. The Santa Paula Chron-
lcle gave an example of it this week.
The paper was observing its tenth birth
day anniversary Hundreds of persons
dropped into the office to offer congrat-
ulaticn and to have piece of candy,
cookie or cigar. These visitors seemed
genuinely interested. The paper meant
something to them.
So it goes in many places. During
prosperous times the people were too
busy to do anything but glance at the
headlines about billions in paper profits.
The newspapers We're glutted with ads,
full of hodgepodge of financial news
and real estate fantasies. Nobody had
time to read discussions of good govern
ment or to consider an editorial on how
to insure economic stability It was all
How high did my stock go today"
Now the picture is different. In pc
riod of wild and unregulated radio bally-
hoo when anything goes" a somewhat
sobered and reflective populace is glad
to turn to reliable papers in which they
in the news matter. Citizens generally
are ready and glad to hear about Geo.
nomic remedies and to read discussions
of proposed financial rehabilitation
Newspapers of solid reputation have
kept their feet on the ground during the
hard times. They have been unwavering
beacons in the economic storm. More
and more the people are realizing that.
That's where the personal element
comes in. People in times of stress like
to pin their hopes on individual leaders.
Walter Lippman gets respectful hear
ing. Will Rogers finds an appreciative
audience for his sugar-coated philosophy.
Other writers who have something to say
and say it in the newspapers win a fol-
lowing People are thinking. They are
not following blindly the line of least
resistance.
Most of the newspapers in Southern
California are sensing the new response
bility which is theirs. They are genu-
inely trying to be constructive leaders.
Both the small dailies and small week
lies are assuming new dignity. Take pa
pers like The ETeinet News and The
Claremont Courier and The Orange
Daily News and Escondido Times-Advo-
cate. They and their editors are IN re-
sponsible position. They have a duty
more than ever before.
Advertisers sense this trend, too.
Newspaper advertising is rising steadily.
The excess of radio blather have dis
gusted as many advertisers, comparative
ly, as they have radio listeners:

Probably one of the best moves
the Imperial Irrigation District has
made for the good of Imperial VAL
ley was the charged they placed on
water On the basis of the acre feet
used. When flat charge was placed
on irrigation water, many grow
ers took the attitude that they had
to pay SO much for water whether
they used small amount or sew
eral acre feet. Like. most every one
figures, farmers tried to get their
moneys worth. Excess water was
used in many cases and the water
table came up.
Now that each acre foot must
be paid for, the water is not vast
ed, and the water table is receding
very rapidly. Consequently shade
trees which did not need irrigation
when the water table was high are
now dying. Shade trees that have
not needed water for years will
have to be irrigated again. 1t may
be compulsory some day for ten
ants to pay all water tolls in order
to protect Valley property against
high water table.
AT the experiment station the
water table was up to within 5 feet
of the surface last year, now all
the test wells which are ten feet
deep are dry. -Four Eucalyptus trees
were dying and we were unable to
find the cause until the test wells
were checked. The trees were then
given an irrigation and since then
they have put out new sucker
growth from top to bottom. 1t is
the first time these trees have need
ed an irrigation or have suffered
for water.
Several have complained recent
ly about their shade trees dying and
have thought it due to high wate.'
table. Some knew their water table
was high the last time it was
checked, but in most cases the re-
verse is true now.

If the water table drops in all
parts of the valley the salt problem
will be much easier to over come.
