 In explaining the status of a subsidiary code, it is poinsed out that it is a specific code under a general code of an industry, the portion of which is served by it having been found to have peculiar problems not applicable or practi- cable to the general code. For iri- stance, when a general code exists for the national fishing industry salmon canrers code or a haiibut fisheries code established under it is subsidiary code.
 Subsidiary Codes
 The national fisheries code is then supplanted by the salmon can- ners code in the case of the sal mon canning industry. It is actu- ally independent of the national fisheries code and may be in direct conflict to it in instances. Its be- {, ing in conflict, or the reason fo, it's being in conflict, is the reason that the subsidiary code is estab. lished. ~sH - .4 A

TWO DOLLAR LICENSE TAGS

Governor elect Harry w. Nice as
serts he was fully cognizant of the
situation existing in the State Roads
Commission before he promised the
voters 50 automobile license tags
and that the more than $1,000,0eO
deficit in the department has not al
tered his plans to make the pledge
good.
What he particularly wishes to do,
he says, is to impress upon the pea
pie of Maryland that the outgoing
administration handling of affairs
is going to make necessary the i'm
position of additional tax burdens

DRINK, DRANK, DRUNK

Who is to blame for the tremend-
Gus increase in casualties on the
highways?
Surely not the person who just
had "a beer or two" He has per-
feet right to drink if he vans too,
and indeed where will the govern
ment get revenue if he doesn't
drink?
He also has right to drive an
automobile, especially if he has a
drivers license.
Accidents are due, so some say, to
faulty automobiles, danger gu
curves, slipper roads, and numerous
other causes.
If it were possible to check up on
accident records whether the drivers
were frequenters of Beer Saloons
what would the records show? But
the chances of getting such records
are very slim, when the effort to
convict for showing effects of alco-
hol is so carefully avoided as at
present.
The driver who is not safe on the
road is the one who is blissfhlly
unconscious that he is driving dan
gerously." And just SO long as driv-
ers can get drink or two at any
gas station we are bound to have
hat kind of drivers on the road. So
we might as we'll get used to il and
De prepared to be crashed into on

An ounce of whiskey in the human
system may cause an accident on the

twenty-third annual conference OF
the National Safety Council were

Hospital, Milwaukee, in an address
which was received with tremendous
applause. The Doctor presented
facts that challenged the respect of
hard-headed police officers and keen
experts on traffic problems.

THE PUBLIC MUST HELP

If the present trend continues TO
the end of the year, the automobile
death rate for 1894 will be about 20
per cent higher than that of 1888,
according to President John E.
Long, of the National Safety Council.
There has been a startling in
crease in every kind of automobile
accident. In Mr.. Longs opinion, a
variety of causes are responsible
Thousands of automobiles now in
use are in so poor condition as to
be absolutely unsafe. New auto
mobiles, even though they have
every possible safety device, from
better vision to super-brakes. are
capable of speeds which should not
be attempted by the average driver
but it's sad fact that almost
every driver has implicit faith in his
ability to meet any possible con-
tingency.
Added to these factors, Mr.. Long
says, is the crucial problem of
drunken driving-with us during
prohibition as well as now. While
statistics so far available have not
proved drunkenness to be the out
standing cause of accidents, many
cities have reported substantial in
creases in accidents involving per-
sons who have been drinking.
Lastly, Mr.. Long believes thai
there has been relaxing of law en-
forcement in many cities. Appro-
priations have been seriously re-
duced, Yaany departments are in

ment Station, who will be in charge.
DR.. Patterson will be assisted by DR..
H. F. Cotterman, Associate Dean of
the College of Education, and M.
Marie Mount, Dean of the College of
Home Economics. This is the first
year that such school has been held
at the University and DR.. Patterson
feels that it will make strong ap-
peal, not only to those who will ap-
preciate the opportunity of attend
ing a real University for limited
length of time, but also to those col
lege graduates who have been forced
to change their means of livelihood
and now desire further instruction
along different lines
Anyone, of either sex and over IT
years of age, is eligible to matricu-
late for the courses. The price is
being kept as low as possible, and, it
is said, will not exceed $50 for all
expenses for the six weeks period.
Students attending the winter school
will enjoy the same privileges, So
cial educational and athletic, as
those enrolled for the full four-year
course.
Regular professors and instruc-
tors with additional specialists, will
teach the courses offered and certi-
ficate will be presented those who
complete four years work. Accord
ing to DR.. Patterson, courses offered
will range all the way from agricul-
tural journalism 20 fish culture, and
from production of dairy products to

MOVE FOR SIXTY DAY SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE

A movement to reduce the regular
ninety-day term of the forthcoming
Maryland Legislature to sixty days
has been instituted by State Senator
Milton l.. Veasey, of Worcester
county.
The Senator, Democrat, who has
represented his county in the Legis-
lature since 1880 and who was re-
elected in the last elections, said the
proposed curtailment would save the
taxpayers of the State $4,000 in
legislative expenses.
1t was indicated in political circles
that Senator Veasey's proposal prob
ably would meet with determined
opposition. A canvass of the Balti-
more city delegations to the Senate
and to the House of Delegates bore
out this view, although in most cases
the legislators guardedly refused
comment.

MEMBERSHIP OF COOPERATIVE
ASSOCIATION

The 1898 membership of the ap-
proximately 1900 cooperative as
sociations in this country is estimat-
ed at around 100000 and the
value of their business is estimated
at $1,34O,OOO,O0O according to F.

tration Mr.. Peck also said that
there are more than 100000 farms
in the United States.

CARNATIONS, Mr.. Peck said that each
year ince 1926 there has been an
increase in the output of creamery
butter by farmers cooperative asso-
Citations, according to estimates
based on reports from approximately
1900 cooperative associations. OF
the total production of creamery
butter in the United States, the per-
centage produced in cooperative
plants has risen from "a per cent in
1926 to 81 per cent in 1898.
This gain was not spectacular"
Mr.. Peck said, NOR was it brought
about by an increase in the number
of cooperative creameries. The sig
nificance les in the fact that it was
accomplished by an increase in the
average volume handled by the CO.
operatives reporting. Better bust
ness management of the cooperative
plants and more efficient service to
he members undoubtedly was a fac
tor in attracting more business"

BUSINESS KARIN TO GO

Mr.. Hartman did not elaborate
upon that statement; but the
thought behind it is not difficult to
trace. When the crash came, bust

company with the nations principal
economists and most government

going from bad to worse, without a
single bright cloud being observed
in the economic skies.
Then came the Democratic victory
and business, which had consider
able faith in Mr.. Hoover, even
though he couldn't pull good times
out of a hat, was frankly worried.
The Roosevelt experiments obvious
iy marked a new era in American
gbvernment-no President in his
tory had been so daring, none had
tempered so much with the existing
financial and industrial machinery
During the first two years of ths
Roosevelt administration, the atti-
tude of business was one of slightly
hostile observation-it waited, not
only to see what was going to hap
pen, but what the verdict of the
public would be at the polls.
That verdict was given last month.
when the voters, in the words of
William Allen White, all but crown
ed Mr.. Roosevelt. According to an
Associated Press dispatch of Novem-
Der II, business and government

Joint effort to produce recovery.
The representative of bushes in this
matter was Mr.. Harriman-govern-
ment was represented by NRA's
head man, Lawyer Donald Richberg,
and James A. Moffatt, head of the
great housing administration which
hopes to put new financial blood into
heavy Industries by making it pos
sible for people to build new homes
and repair old ones more cheaply

Mr.. Hartman made the statement
that heads this article after he called
on Mr.. Richberg- he added a
sentence of great Importance: That
there was no difference of opinion be-
tween the two men. He then said
that business was entering new
period of realism" and was leaving
the painful period of ''readjust-
ment," behind.
What that means. of course, is
that industry and the Administration
are gradually arbitrating their diff,
ferences.- News Review.

FATIGUE IMPORTANT ITEM In
MOTOR ACCIDENTS

Mental and bodily fatigue looms
as an important element to be con-
sidered in relation to reduction of
highway accidents, according to con-
clusions reached by the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland
through extensive study of accident
reports.
Club investigators have found, for
example, that automobile accidents
in the morning rush" hours are
only about one-third of the number
recorded in the evening rush
hours. Over period of five years,
this ratio of highway crashes held
good in the reports examined.

these figures" said Albert e. Buck

that more than half of these will be
subject to veto of the Democratic

They found that of the 10000 per-

STATE ROAD FUNDS IN MIDDLE
Officials Trying To Straighten Out
Tangled Finances

Tangled Finances
When officials get down to figur-
ing just what roads funds they have
available for expenditure during the
current fiscal year, they will find
Charles county in better condition
than any other, analysis Of the State
Roads Commissions accounts show
ed, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Charles county ended the fiscal
year on September 80 with $50, 494.-
so due it after paying all obliga-
tions. Its anticipated revenue for
the fiscal year ending September 30
1895, is $9O,792.91. This makes
the total amount available for ex-
penditure 151,742.51, or approx
mately two-thirds as much more
than the amount it expects to get
during the year.
Other counties which were "in the
black" on September 80 last, though
not so we'll off as was Charles coun-
ty, are in the following order:
Queen Anne's, Caroline. Cecil, Car
roll, St. Mary's, Somerset, Washing
ton, Anne Arundel.
Queen Annes had $47,025.73 to
it's credit on September 80. With
$83,491.01 anticipated this year it
will have $13O,516.79 available for
expenditure.
Caroline had $4O,O48.93 to it's
credit on September 80. With 1884,
670.26 anticipated this year, it will
have S124,719.19 available for ex-
penditure.
Cecil has $4O,966.56 credit, an
ticipates $1O2,S3O.75 and will thus
have S143,79731 available.
Carroll has a $41,O14.S4 credit,
anticipates $153,538.52 and there
fore can spend $194,553.36 during
the current year.
St. Mary's can spend $92,303.78,
because it has a credit of SO, 426.04
and can expect S72,S77.74 more.
Somerset ended the year on Sep
TENDER 80 with a credit of $12,254.-
IA and can expect to get $62,028.61.
That will give it $74,282.75 avail
able for expenditure.
Washington is due $19,719.16,
can expect $129,245.96 and thus will
have $14S.96512 it can spend this
year.
Anne Arundel has $7,093.15 to it's
credit, can expect $91,03S.2O and
will have $9S,131.35.
On the other hand, the county
whose outlook is darkest from a
standpoint of roads finances is Cal
vert. Kent is next furthest "in the
red,' with Montgomery in some
what better condition. The over
drafts of Calvert and Kent are al
most two and a half times their an
ticipated revenue for the current
year, while Montgomery has over
drawn somewhat less than twice
what it can expect this year.
The amounts estimated to be avail
able for expenditure during the year
ending September 80, 1895, in the
other counties are:
