HAND SIGNALS HELPS MOTOR
lists

Hand signals by motorists help to
reduce automobile accidents accord
ing to c. C. Reynolds, Superintend-
ent of Delaware State Police.
Many serious accidents can be
avoided if the motorist will! give a
little thought and consideration for
others, Mr.. Reynolds says. The
sight of hand or arm extended is
all that the driver in the rear needs
to warn him that a change in the
course or speed is to be made. The
simple gesture is a courtesy which
will avert an accident and possible
damage to the cars or death or in
jury to yourself and passengers.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT

Amendments to the CONSTITUTION
are being made so fast they ere hard
to keep tack of and consequently are
confusing to many people. One
thing which perhaps adds to the con-
fusion is that the 18th or Prohibi-
ton amendment was killed by the
21st or Repeal amendment. The
proposed Child Labor amendment
was to have been the goth, but a
sufficient number of states have not
ratified it yet. To put through
new amendment to the Constitution
REQUIRES ratification by three-fourths
or 36 of the states. The amend
ment to regulate child labor was
given to the various states III 1924
Up to September, 1888, only Is
states had adopted it. Blu. since
then five or six others have ratified
in rapid succession.
The goth or Lame Duck amend
ment, changing the terms OF Presi-
dent and Vice President to begin on
January 20 and those of Senators
and Representatives on January 3,
went into effect February 6, 1852.
And now we have another amend
ment in the offing. If adopted and
ratified it will become the 22nd. A
joint resolution for such an amend
ment has already been introduced in
Congress by Senator George w.
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, and
Rep Clarence F. Lea, Democrat of
California. Under their plan the
electoral college would be changed
to give each candidate for President
a share of the electoral votse in each
state in proportion to the number of
popular votes received AS the law
now stands the candidate receiving
the majority of the popular votes in
any state receives the entire elector-
al vote of that state.
Until this electoral vote system is
changed, Senator Norris claims, it is
useless for any but the Republican
and Democratic parties to put candi-
dates in the field. However, there
are two sides to every question and
the proposed amendment is meeting
considerable opposition. So much
so that it bids fair to become cam
hi cin ION
issues are rather scarce. Opponents
see in the proposal an attempt TO
secure perpetual party control for
the presidency by securing large
share of the electoral votes in statoF
where party control alternatos. New
| York, for instance, is a two-party
state and a holly contested battle
ground with AZ electoral votes as
spoils for the victor. If the new
amendment were adopted the divi-
sion of these AZ votes would prob
ably be even, say 23 to "a.
Such division in "even" states
added to the votes in states where
the majority vote is assured would
tend to strengthen one party and
weaken the other, they say. On the
other hand proponents of the meas
ure declare it would result in more
two-party states when the minority
party knows it's vote will really
count for something. For example,
Mississippi, now nearly 80 per cent
Democratic, could easily become SO
per cent Republican and spit the
electoral vote four to five, there be-
ing nine electoralvotes allotted to
that state. Republicans fear the
amendment would give the Southern
states too big say as to who would
be President, and since the South is
normally Democratic that would
tend to keep a Democratic in the
White House.-Pathfinder

viii the NRA through the de-

Will the NRA through the de-
velopment of codes create 1nonopo-
lies in restraint of trade and thus
destroy the small industria,;st and
business man? In anticipation of
this danger the President appointed
the Advisory Review Board with
Clarence S. barrow as chairman.
It would appear from a review of
some of the codes by the Avisory
Board that they ''are developing a
monopolistic trend and are doing in
jury to the small industrialists and
business men" Observations of
Senators Nye and Borah point to the
same conclusions.

The 1894 wheat crop of Maryland
is now estimated to be about 7,460.-
900 bushels, according to Richard
c. Ross, statistican for the Mary
land Crop Reporting Service This
production would be greater than
the crop of either 1888 or 1882, but
would be considerably smaller than
the average.
The wheat crop in the State has
been slow in starting this spring, but
If average weather conditions prevail
between now and harvest, yields per
acre are expected to average be-
tween 10 and 20 bushels.

The Public Works Administration
has allotted the Bureau of Fisheries
$142,3O0. Frank T. Bell, U. S.
Commissioner, Bureau of Fisheries,
announces that this allotment is to
be used in survey of our rivers
with view to conservation of our
fish life, the greatest enemies of
which, the Commissioner points out,
are the pollution of our streams by
factory refuse and the destruction of
our forests.

u
Mayor VIM. H. Jackson, OF Balti-
more, has SHE'D his castor in the
ring by announcing his candidacy for
the Democratic nomination fer Gov
ernor of Maryland, at the primaries
in September.
1t had been reported that the
Mayor was waiting until Governor
Richie let his intention be known,
whether he would run for a fifth
term. but the Governor still bids his
time. Governor Richie said, in
commenting on Mayor Jackson's an
nouncement:
81 expect within very short time
to make a definite statement but l
can see no reason for rushing de-
cision because of Mayor JaCkson's
announcement, which, of course,
was one which he has every right to
make, just as DR.. Chas. H. Conley
had.
II want to give to the question the
very best judgment of which I am
capable, and I will not delay min
ute after l feel that that has been
done"
The only other candidate who is
definitely in the race for the Demo
cratic nomination is DR.. Charles F
Conley, of Frederick.
Jackson has been Mayor of Balti-
more for two four-year terms.

Pippin felt relieved. She felt

all right now. Helena would

She would sit there at the table,

Vivian with that sweet, laugh

no longer seem so desperate.
She had this faith in Helena.
