JR., GETS
COURT POST

Ralph Given. jr. son of Police
Court Judge Ralph Given, took
the oath of office today as a Po-
lice Court clerk, replacing James
S. Addison, who retired September
l after reaching the age of 10
years.
Mr.. Given was appointed to his
post by Judge John D. Mcmahon
and qualified for his duties only a
few hours before his father relin-
quished his post.
Walter T. Casey, recently ap-
pointed by the President to sue
ceed Judge Given, is to be for
mally inducted into office this
afternoon.
Mr.. Addison's retirement appar-
entity is the result of comedy OF
errors, since he claims to be only
ST years old. Mr.. Addison states
this hiO birth date, according to
his liz insurance record, was IN
1867, whereas, through some mis-
understanding, 1865 appears as
his birth year on the Civil Service

HITCH-H|KERS
FACE BAN IN
MARYLAND
",Thumbers" Branded
Traffic Hazard by
State Official

Hitch hKers must go! The
Free State of Maryland doesn't
want 'em.
That was the ultimatum issued
today by Preston D. Callum, mem
ber of the commission which is
recodifying the Maryland motor
vehicle laws.
He was quoted in Baltimore as
declaring the entire commission
in accord on this point, and point
ing out that several States have
followed the recommendation OF
the National Street and Highway
Conference in adopting such legis-
lation in the interest of safety.
The manor woman, for the
so-called weaker sex has avidly
succumbed to the art of hitch
hiking-who gets out in the road
and thumbs a ride not only en-
dangers his own life, but may
cause an accident by car swerv-
ing to avoid him, it was pointed
out.
1t is admitted that there is
nothing that can be done to stop
a person from begging a ride.
That is an inalienable right. What
the State can do is pass legislation
that will keep pedestrians off the
highways, making them walk we'll
clear of the road. Forced off the
road, the hitch-hiker will be un-
able to give the well-known appeal
ing look that often moves the
heart of a motorist to give a lift,
to his later sorrow sometimes, if
the hitch-hiker happens to be a
robber.
Maryland is now engaged in re-
codifying it's motor laws, and it
is expected that law to exile the
THUNDER we'll clear of the road
will be adopted.
