RETENTION OF SAFETY ZONES

Retention of safety zones in Baltic
more is favored by the Keystone Au@
tomobile Club of Maryland, with the
reservation that the pylons guarding
the zones be made to conform to-
standards adopted by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety,
The Club takes the position that
the safety zones are essential, and IL
refuses to be stampeded into advocate
ing their abolition because 1853 acci~
dents have been attributed to the
pylons in the first eight months oi3
this year. Manager Albert e. Buck@
ley points out that the pylon acci-
dents. comprise only about two per-
cent 0f the total in the city Of Baltic
more. q
1--WE believe" he said, "that atterD@
ton should be directed toward rem~
edying conditions responsible for the
remaining SO per cent of trafiG
crashes, and to that end we have
pledged our support to the city au~
thorities and have offered fullest cor
operation of our Engineering Depart4
ment in working out plans for traffic
betterment.
Further, we have offered our en-
cheering services to Governor Ritch-
lie in the handling of the Statewide
traffic problem. 1t Is our belief that
much constructive work remains to
be done if the traffic toll Is to be rex
duced."
The Clubs recommendations for
improvement of safety zones include
construction of V-shaped prows in
advance of the pyIons, so designed as
to minimize the effect of head-om
collisions; foodlighting of the entire
safety zone areas, and prohibition OF
parking within 80 feet of the be-
ginning of the zones.

phones in territory operated by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies is fairly comparable with
the gain of 10,750 telephones made for
the Bell System Companies as whole
during August. In August 1888, there
was net loss Of 20,750 telephones
by the system companies.
There has been net increase of
3,4O3 telephones in Maryland as COM
pared with a loss of 10000 for the
same period last year. The company
in Virginia reports an increase this
year of 1886 as compared with loss
of 5,4O4 last year. In West Virginia
the company reports gain this year
of 2,912 as compared with loss of
5,532 in 1888. In the District of
Columbia the net gain for this year is
4,557 as compared with loss last year
of 6,64I telephones.

DAYS OF THE WEEK

From the planets the Latin desig-
nations given to the days of the week
have been directly derived; and from
the Latin names, in turn, have been
chiefly formed the modern names
used in various countries.
In Sunday, the origin is easily
traceable.
Monday literally the day of the
moon.
Tuesday takes it's name from Tuis-
CO, the Mars of the Saxons, who pre-
sided over combats, strife and litiga-
ton.
Wednesday is so-called from Wo-
din or Odin, chief deity of the
northern nations.
Thursday was named by the old
Teutons for Thor, their god Of
thunder.
Friday is from Frea of Friga, a
goddess of Saxon myth.
Saturday shows little change from
its original form as Saturn's day.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS TO
GUNNERS
Most Accidents Due To Careless
Handling OF Guns

Handling OF Guns
Livery year some 5000 people are
accidentally killed handling guns
(mostly during the winter), and of
the many more thousands injured,
these injuries are invariably very
SCI. Gus. Boiled down, to essentials,
most Of these accidents involve the
shoulder gun used for hunting or
large. ahooting; virtually all are due
to Lpidity or ignorance; the ''un-
loaded gun" which turns out to be
loaded is notorious offender, ac-
cording to the Delaware Safety
Council
FOO many people take it for grant
cd that accidents and guns go hand
in Inland, but this is fallacy. There
is no need for gun accidents, and the
best proof of that is in the work of
the National Rifle Association which
in recent years has trained approx
mately a quarter of a million high
school and junior high pupils in the
handling of guns, including qualify
ing tests and competitive shooting,
without a single accident resulting
in physical injury!!
Plainly, little common sense is
all you need to keep your gun from
turning, traitor; and that applies to
the average boys .22 as well as to
the high.powered army rife. If the
average hunter treated an ordinary
shotgun with one-quarter the respect
he gives a rifle, we'd cut out fully
eighty per cent of the mishaps from
firearms.
There Nare, of course, other ele-
ments of horse sense applicable to
guns of all types. The smart hunter
never leans a gun against tree or a
stump for any reason for almost any
gun will go off when it falls; he
never stands with the stock on the
ground and his fingers over the muz-
zle-nor in the reverse position,
with the muzzle resting on his shoe;
he always has a sling on his gun so
he can safely use both hands for
climbing or balancing; he never gets
down to drink with his gun under
him; he never drags his gun across
the, ground, muzzle toward him; he
win never leave his gun, loaded and
unlocked, any place where somebody
else, man or beast, can stumble over
It And finally, he viii never use
bis gun as sledge-hammer. crow

bar, ice pick or anything else but a

bar, ice pick or anything else but a
gum
These things, of course, get at the
self-inflicted wound which amounts
to nearly half of all the shooting ac-
cidents; the injuries involving other
people usually come from negligence
in handling or carrying weapons.
There are few things for the hunt
or 70 remember-and some things he
ought to impress upon other mem
bers of his family. Although they
may never use his gun, they may
have occasion to handle it at times
and the person who only handles
gun lat times" is good one to
avoid. The smart gunner will show
them how to do that. Granted that
an idle gun should never be loaded,
it should be second nature in every
body who ever touches a gun to open
the breech and make sure that it is
empty.
The careless carrying of guns, too,
is prolific cause of trouble. No
good woodsman Jugs his weapon over
the crook of his arm, muzzle down,
for two reasons. First, if it is acct
dentally fired-and who ever knows
why or how gun was accidentally
fired?-the charge will ricochet and
may strike somebody. Second, if
the hunter stumbles or trips, his gun
nozzle may hit the dirt and become
clogged-and the next time he fires
may be his last!
There are many theories about
how gun should be carried safely;
suffice it to, say that its muzzle must
never point toward the ground nor
toward others in the party-or in
some other party. Outdoors, the
safe direction" for a gun to be
pointing is usually up and away from
the carrier; indoors, in house or
practice range, this safe direction"
depends upon the circumstances and
h surroundings. incidentally,
when a gun is passed from one per-
son to another, the person passing it
should first open the action and leave
it open for his and the other fellows
protection.
When all is said and done. there
is one castiron rule about guns which
nobody should ever forget for split
second. That is the fundamental
truth that every gun is loaded until
you prove otherwise.

WILL TRUST AND NOT BE
AFRAID
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.
l am trusting my all in Jesus,
My Redeemer, Saviour and Friend.
He never will leave nor forsake me,
But go with me unto the end.
Trusting forever, abiding in Him,
The King and Lord over all;
The same yesterday, today and for
ever;
How sweet and loving His call.
Let us trust and never be fearful,
When Satan would try to annoy.
Gods grace will be all sufficient;
In His presence all fullness Of Joy.
Trusting and never doubling,
With a faith that is sublime.
In the hollow of His hand He Is

And forever and ever is mine.

What Is A Bean :?

T.'ULL of vitamins and vim Is
our old friend the bean. In
fact it has so much energy
that it's many things besides a
savory vegetable. A bean may be
a dollar If you say che hasn't
beam" Or it may be absolutely
nothing If you say cit doesn't
amount to a hill Of BEANS" A
bean may be a man or it may be
his head. If you say Hello, old
bean" of course you mean Hello,
old boy" If you say John has a
good beam" you mean that John
has a keen mind and a lot Of
common sense.
"FuII of Beans"
People used to say of spirited
horse that he was full of beans"
But today, the expression means
anyone young or old who is "rarin'
to co." We all know that what
we eat determines what we can
do physically. And in these hard
working days, we fortify our
bodies especially so that they may
enable us to think clearly and act
quickly. So "beans" mean many
things in conversation. And ia
our diets, "beans" mean many
things, all nourishing and healthy.
Here is a recipe featuring beans
at their best. Remember that q
good bean at home means a good
bean in the office!

Through this system fewer pump

the other bumpers can be used to
rush to emergency calls, the chief
pointed out.
The greatest advantages come in
fighting the fire, as the four smaller
hoses are much more effective than
the former high pressure line. 1t
now is possible to divert the water
stream and attack several points at
once.
Besides, the damage to the in

To FIGHT FIRES

Damage Designed by

After firemen have extinguished
the flames, woeful residents often
wonder whether the fire or the fire
fighters caused the greatest dam
age.
To eliminate the damage to prop
erty through the soaking of the IN
terror of the house with heavy
streams of water, Chief Harry
Voshell has perfected a new fire
fighting system which local f1remen
have been using effectively several
weeks.
No longer need local residents
stand by helplessly as firemen shoot
streams of water at the walls,
drenching the furniture and interior
decorations.
Under Chief Voshells new system,
instead CT having one high-pressure
hose to play on the flame, flremen
will use four smaller hose lines.
Heretofore, firemen have utilized
a complete pumper to push water
through a 212-inch hose. The fire.

You know it has been said that the quota
of sugar fer this island was fixed at a.
500 tons, we went there TO find out
whether or not that was so and we were
told that no quota has been fixed fer the
Virgin islands. We left that department
happy. We went to the Lighthouse De-
uartmen and asked for light for thePolt
of Christiansted. besause few schoOn-
ers have gone on the reef here recently
through having no light. We were sue
cessful in that department too. because
before the Commission returned here
from Washington a man was sent down
to investigate. understand that that
man was told that 10 schooner had gone
ou the reef here. That is not true. We
also visited the Alcohol Department 70
