PART PLAYED
BY BRAKINC
REACTION Time
Figures Should Have A Soldering
Effect On The State
Motorists

The vital part played by "braking-
reaction time" in highway casualties
is called to public attention by the
Keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land, following study by Club officials
of data developed in the 100000 high
way accident survey just completed in
Massachusetts,.
1T was shown in this survey" said
Garrison P. Knox, Manager OF the
Club, "that about twenty per cent OF
the motorists who submitted to the
test required at least one second OF
reaction time, and that % per cent
required more than half second.
Drivers from all walks Of life were in
cluded in the tests to get fair cross
section of the motoring public.
"By reaction time is meant that
period required for driver to go thru
the mental processes necessary to ap-
preciate the need for applying brakes,
transmitting the nerve impulse to the
foot muscles and actually pressing the
foot on the brake pedal.
"Thus, it is apparent that regardless
of the efficiency of braking equip
ment, the driver must take into con-
sideration the distance his car travels
before he has reached the point Of ap-
plying braks. Translated into under
standable terms, we find that the
motor vehicle operator with one-sec-
ond reaction time travels 50 feet at
40 miles an hour before he begins to
apply the brakes. At so miles per
hour he travels 70 feet in that second
and at sixty he covers SO feet.
even under the most favorable
conditions, with half second reac-
ton time, the 40-mile-an-hour driver
finds nearly 80 feet covered before
his brakes 60 into action.
1--WE believe these figures should
have SOLDERING effect on the motorists
of the State. They furnish key to
avoidance of highway disasters"

Bank Commissioners Job
From Governor Nice

Governor Nice has appointed War
rem F. Sterling, of the neighboring
county, Somerset and President of the
Bank of Crisfield, to the position Of
State Bank Commissioner. The east
ern Shore Republican" has the follow
ing to say of the appointment:
1.-THE Governor could not have named
man in Maryland better qualified
for the position, both by reason Of
training and special qualifications.
Mr.. Sterling has spent lifetime in
banking, and, as President of one of
the States strongest banks, holds a
position in financial circles second to
none.
at is largely due to Mr.. Ster-
ling's personality, and his wide know
ledge of Banking, that the Bank OF
Crisfield is listed among the States
financial institutions as among the
best. He is approachable, and any
man or woman, no matter what then
station in life, can always reach Mr.
Sterling and consult with him the
problems of their financial condition
He is ever ready to give of his wide
knowledge, for their bnefit.

DONKEY BASE
BALL CONTEST
STAGED tues.
American Legion And Lions
Club Ride The Bases On
Diminutive Mounts

The donkey base ball game played
on the high school campus on Tuesday
of this week, was donkey" all right,
but, by the longest stretch of imagi-
nation, it could not be called base ball.
The game was a contest between the
Lions Club and the American Legion
Post, both of this city; the former
won, it is alleged, by score of to
2, so it was reported.
The national sport as played on
donkeys has it's variations. All play
ers, except the battery" are mount
ed on donkeys, provided by a travel
ling promoter. A soft ball is used,
and when the ball is hit, the batter
must Immediately mount his donkey
and ride to first base; the infielder
must dismount, retrieve the ball, re-
mount and retire the "rider," if pos
sible. by throwing to first base. If
the ball is hit to the outfield, the play
er must dismount, but is not COM
PEELED to remount before he gets the
ball back.
Of course, the entertainment feature
is not in the playing skill, but in the
success the greenhorns have in stay
ing on their mounts. Some of the dom
keys are rather slow; almost impos-
sible to get them out of walk. Some
are frisky and inclined to buck, and.
all in all, the show makes one laugh.
AS a base ball exhibition, it's a good
comedy.

SAVE-A-LIFE
CAMPAIGN ON
OCTOBER l-3l
Has Specific Place In Safe priv
ing Conducted Through
out Country

The Annual Save-A-Life Compaign
will be conducted this year from Oc-
tober 1st to October 31st, inclusive.
It has been the practice of the Roads
Commission Office to make it nee
essary for every motor car owner
throughout the State of Maryland to
have his car thoroughly inspected at
o convenient station appointed by the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.
There his car was passed on by a
mechanic before a seal was placed on
the windshield signifying that car was
perfectly safe for the highways.
In the past years many motorists
resented being compelled to visit one
of these stations. This attitude should
be completely changed. The Maryland
Save-A-Life Campaign is one that has
a specific place in safe driving CAM
paigns conducted throughout the Uni
ted States. If every motorist will
stop and consider just what this in
spection means, he will cooperate COM
pletely with the office from which it
originates. Saving lives is something
that should be nearest the heart OF
every motor vehicle operator. To
protect the lives of fellow citizens is a
first duty. The fatality figures have
continually grown to an appalling
number and most of this can be check
ed directly to faulty conditions OF
brakes, tires, binding headlights and
many minor mechanical defects Of the
automobile.
These inspections were primarily
introduced to correct the practice OF
neglecting necessary adjustments. 1t
is hardly excusable on the part OF
this office to allow cars having any
Of the above mentioned defects to con-
tinue on the highways.
"This will be the first Save-A-Life
Campaign conducted since my appoint
ment as Commissioner of Motor We
hicles of the State of Maryland"
says Commissioner w. r. Rudy; sit
is my sincere desire to have the
complete support of every motorist to
thoroughly carry out this inspection.
/ will visit many of these stations
throughout the campaign to see that
these appointees are rendering the
proper inspection. This is only fair to
the auto owner who is supporting
this move to guard the lives of those
dearest to us. would like to i'm
press upon the man who is making
this inspection that it is his respon-
sibility to see that the automobile
that is. brought to him will not carry
the seal of safety unless he is thor
oughly convinced that the car is safe
to travel the highways.
again let me impress on each and
every one of you, that it is not only
your duty but your privilege to pro-
tect the innocent children, the men and
women of our State against possible
death or injury that might have ben
avoided, had every car in the State
passed this safety test.
In closing, may ! ask your willing
cooperating in making this Save-A-
Life Campaign Of 1885 one that will go
down in the history Of Maryland as an
outstanding achievement on the part
of all of us"

An Unsunp Genius

LAVE you ever read the novel
L Anthony Adverse" or even held
the book on your lap until your knees
went TO sleep?
Some quit and went back to bust
ness after the fifth month. Others gave
up everything else for the year and
fought the good fight right through
to the end. After that, they were ready
to tackle something light and chaffy,
such as the last six volumes of the
encyclopedia.
Anyhow. if you were not included
among those who bought this work or
borrowed it-and that would put you
in the minority, for it has sold close
TO million cOpies-the above should
give you a rough idea, so that you may
share with me in this tribute TO an
authentic genius.
I've just met him. He's the director
who has the job of putting Anthony

picture film. Alongside of him, con-
tend, the fellow who engraved the
