pany thereby subjects itself to the
Laws Of the State relating to such
companies and to the jurisdiction Of
the Commissioner. Certain deposits
are required to be made with the
Commissioner to guarantee the pay
ment of taxes imposed and claims
against the companies.
All such companies are subject to
special taxes, determined by the
amount of premiums collected within
the State. 1t is the duty of the Com
missioner to determine the amount of
such taxes and collect the taxes due
by the respective companies.
The Commissioner also maintains
an adjustment bureau in his depart
ment, the function Of which is ia
amicably adjust claims against com
panies doing business in the State.
While the companies are not required
to settle according to his recommen-
dations, the Adjuster has been quite
useful. and helpful to both companies
and claimants. The services of the
State Actuary are also available to
companies and claimants in determin-
ing the fairness of premium rates
and reserve amounts as well as policy
values.
Whenever the assets of an insur-
ance company become impaired to an
extent where the Commissioner feels
it is unable to pay it's claims and
operate proftably, it is his duty to
apply for the appointment of a re-
Iceiver for the Company, and the law
provides that no petition for receiver
ship for any insurance company may
be maintained unless filed by the
Commissioner on behalf of the State.
The Commissioner also maintains
a bureau of investigation for the dis
covery and punishment OF frauds
against insurance companies. Chief of
this work is the investigation of fires
Of undetermined origin. This depart
ment has been of great practical value
especially to fire insurance companies
and has successfully prosecuted num-
erous cases where fires have been de-
liberately set for the purpose of COL
Letting insurance.

Exceed Deaths By Over
5000, Report States

That the births in Maryland, last
year, exceeded the deaths by a total
of 6,631, is shown in areport on
births, deaths and causes of death, in
1884, submitted recently to Governor
Nice, by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health.
There were 1854 births reported in
the State in 1884, 21,521 white and
6,063 colored and 20,953 deaths, 49,
069 white and 1884 colored.
Considering the births and deaths
in relation to population, the report
states that there were IL deaths in
each thousand of the total population
which were offset by 16 births. There
were IL deaths and Is births in each
thousands of the total white popula-
ton. In the total colored population
there were II deaths and 81 births.

with 1876 deaths from tuberculosis,
81 from typhoid fever and 20 from
diphtheria in 1888.
Commenting on the heavy toll TAX
en- by the diseases of middle life and
old age, DIR. Riley stressed the inn
portance of periodical health examina-
tions and of regular supervision by
the family doctor as a means of check
ing the inroads of diseases of this sort
while they are in the early stages and
while it is possible to modify habits
of living so that health may be con-
served and lives prolonged for many
years of normal usefulness and en-
joyment.

Among the important regulatory
bureaus of the State is the office of
Insurance Commissioner. This office
Is located in Baltimore City, and was
created by the Legislature. The Com
missioner is appointed by the Cover
nor and receives a salary of six
thousand dollars per year.
The duties of the Commissioner
logically divide themselves into three
classes. First, the regulation of the
insurance companies chartered by the
State and enforcing the observance
Of the Laws by insurance companies
doing business in the State,--Second,
the Collection of license fees and taxes
on premiums composed upon insur-
ance companies by State Laws and
third the investigation of insurance
frauds including incendiary fires.
In the performance of his duties the
Commissioner has Deputy, several
examiners, an Actuary and various
clerks, and also an Investigator, who
performs the duties formerly assigned
to the State Fire Marshall. These are
all appointed by the Commissioner,
and serve at his pleasure.
The Commissioner is required to
make a thorough examination of the
business and affairs of all insurance
companies organized under the Laws
of Maryland and also makes examina-
tons of such companies of other
States, doing business in Maryland,
as he shall think necessary. The cost
of these examinations must be paid
by the companies examined. Each
company organized in the State, and
each company doing business in the
State, is required by Law to file with
the Commissioner on or before March
first of each year, very full and
complete report of its operations and
financial condition.
No company may engage in any
business of an insurance nature in
Maryland, until it has been examined
by the Insurance Commissioner, and
received from him certificate to do
business in the State. Every such COM

be replaced. This need for equipment is sufficient
to warrant them in predicting good business year. But
there is condition confronting the owners which
not generally noted and which the average motorst has
given little thought The aim for greater safety motor
lists has led to the lowering of the center of gravity of
cars, and the result is wheels of smaller diameter The
tendency will be to equip with wheels smaller yet
and as they will make revolutions per mile the tire
wear will be greater That will increased demand
for production and allowance of for upkeep cars
The difference, however, will be than offset by the
increased safety in driving that little danger of

Moral SuGsion Useless
In Traffic Problem
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
wish to call your attention to
one feature of the parking prob
lem that has been apparently
overlooked.
In regard to all-night parking,
If the owners of cars would put
their cars in the garage at night
I believe 1t would take one-haH
of the cars off the street. Where
there is a garage in the house, the
owner or tenant should not be al
lowed to park his car on the
street at night.
Land is very cheap outside of
the District line and is available
for apartments with a garage for
every tenant. The parking prob
lem would be solved in a few
years.
Grant no permits for buildings
without a garage.
Moral Suasion and signing a
pledge is a joke.
There is only one remedy to
avoid accidents. That is to re-
move the cause.
Take drunken drivers, speederS
and careless drivers off the
street. w. H. GIESEY.

eareas or the lack OF such pro.
ceedure.
Why such leniency on the part
of Italy's higher strategic COM
mand, when ending the war, it is
believed, may possibly depend up
on the right Swooping and hurl-
ing of thousands of tons Of high
explosives, at the logical objec-
tive. capital, or massed array of
hostile troops.
Italy has been generous, light,
eaSy-even parental to Ethiopia
in the terrible inhumane pro
cess of dropping death-dealing
bombs from the air. Some Amer
lean army officers believe Italy
could end the waT today, tomor-
row, or any set time, by the proper
application of bombs cast from
airplanes upon enemy troops.
Here is the paradox: MuSsolini
and his Roman legions are firstly
to be handed bouquets for the
non-use of sufficient airplane
bombs to quell the war riot, and
secondly, for a diva'S delicate
hand in the slight use of a mere
handful to date upon an enemy
who would "eat the Romans alive"
if captured. World opinion seems
opposed to any flagrant use of the
deathly airplane bombs, but as
yet, Italy seems not to have
violated with hardly a handful
thrown.

Wants knives Kept
From, Children

To the Editor Of The Times:
The Staying of a 15.year-old
boy by his young playmate is
something to stir every parent.
Children should not be al.
lowed to carry knives or any
kind of dangerous weapons.
Some definite steps should be
taken here and elsewhere to pre-
vent a recurrence of this sort of
tragedy.
We need a law which forces
all mothers and fathers to pro-
hibit their boys and girls from
being armed at any time. The
very young cannot be trusted
with sharp instruments. The
possession of these things holds
a strange fascination for the
childish mind. This leads to the
commission of juvenile crimes
which horrify every one.
