SCENES OF CARNAGE

A writer in a recent issue OF
American Mercury presented a new
and interesting view of the automo-
bile accident problem. He observed
that. in the light of present-day con-
ditions, it is not remarkable that 49,
900 persons are being killed in traffic
accidents annually-but that it is re-
markable that the number is not
several times as great.
In the average state, almost any
one not completely crippled can OBJ
tain a license to drive car, irrespec-
tive to his ability, responsibility, in
telligence or judgment. II he
chooses, he can operate a car that
belongs by rights in the junk heap
a car with an inaudible horn, feeble
or glaring lights, uncertain brakes,
and a steering gear affected with st.
Vitus dance. If he drives that car
in dangerous manner, cutting
curves, weaving in and out of traffic,
and giving her the gum whenever
possible, the chances are that he will
escape arrest-and that if he is ar
rested, he will be assessed a rela-
lively small fine and permitted to go
right on driving. When the newt
able finally occurs, and someone is
killed or injured because of his reck-
lessness or incompetence, he may
have harder time getting out of the
mess-but that won't bring dead
person to life.
If any progress is to be made in
reducing the horrible toll of automo-
bile deaths and injuries, stringent
methods must be adopted. Traffic
codes must be modernized and en-
forced with the utmost strictness and
impartiality. Much higher qualifi-
cations for the issuance of drivers
licenses must be established. And
the unsafe automobile, as we'll as the
unsafe driver, must be banished from
the road. Otherwise, America S
streets and highways will continue
to be scenes of carnage.

LEST WE FORGET

On November Is, 1922, the obli-
cations of the various foreign gov
ernments held by the U. S. Treasury
aggregated $40, ,2S2,026.60
The cash advanced to Italy was
S1,64S, TIL e amount
funded June Is, 1925, was $1,648,-
O34,O5O.9O plus accrued interest, or
Under the terms of
settlement the payments were spread
over a period of sixty-two years, with
easy annual payments of $5,000,0 100
for the first five years, and increas-
ing each year thereafter from S12,-
100000 on the sixth year, and reach
ing $79,4OO,OO0 in the last year of
payment.
After the first five years interest
is fixed at Is of one per cent for ten
years and then increases for success
sive ten-year periods to "a of one
per cent, 1a of one per cent, "a of
one per cent and l per cent, and the
last seven years are 2 per cent. -
The United States was to have re-
ceived during the period of the
agreement a total of 50, 407, 900, 900.
The date of settlement was June

made June Is, 1925.
Italy's defaults in payments to
date amount to S47,853, 3S3.64, but
in 1895, she began military con-
quest of Ethiopia which has cost heI
over billion dollars, and now plans,
according to the press, to spend an
other billion dollars in exploiting
this forlorn country.
Is there nothing to be done, not a
word that our State Department can
say to this country which plead its
inability since the World War to pay

the past eighteen months has ex'
pended nearly one-half the tota

The good news the Commissioners
Of Cecil County have for taxpayers
II anything connected with taxes can
be called good news, is that the tax
rate for the fiscal year beginning
July 1, will not be any higher than ii
was last year, but will remain at rs
cents on the 500.
Despite the fact that other coun-
ties in the State have been forced to
push tax rates up little, our Board
Of Commissioners, which has pursued
q policy OF rigid economy in the
management of our county affairs, is
to be congratulated that strict
adherence to good business methods
has enabled them to keep within
their means and again give county
taxpayers the benefit OF rate that
Is the lowest in the State.

SIDE-LIGHTS ON REHABILITA-
TION FAMILIES

That farm families in Maryland re-
ceiving assistance through the Rural
Rehabilitation section of the Reset
Element Administration are making
an effort to be self-supporting IS re-
vealed by a survey of the first 100
families granted loans by that
Agency. This survey shows that the
average number of chickens per fam
lily for these 100 families is 122, The
percentage making their own butter
is So, and the average number of
quarts of food preserved IS 1856.
Other facts brought out by the
survey were that the average num-
Der of persons in family is 5.19;
that SIS per cent of the families have
children between the ages of one and
six years; Al per cent have children
between six and twelve years; 40
per cent have children between
twelve and eighteen years; and 20
per cent have children eighteen years
old and over. In II per cent of the
families there are dependent old
people.
The aim of the Rural Rehabilita-
ton work, according to E. l. Oswald,
Director for Maryland, is to help
farm families become established on
basis which offers reasonable OPP
portunity for success. To this end,
he states, loans are made to those
who lack the necessary resources to
obtain credit from other loaning
agencies. In addition, plans for
farm and home management are
worked out for each individual case
with the assistance of Specialists and
with a view to operating the place
in a manner which offers greatest
probability to success. The work is
conducted in close cooperation with
the Extension Service and the assist
ance and advice of County Agents,
Home Demonstration Agents, and
Specialists are available at all times
to those receiving Rehabilitation aid.
In formation relative to Rehabili-
tation loans may be obtained, Mr.
Oswald states, from either of the
three District Supervisors with
Offices at Frederick, Salisbury, and
La Plata; from the County or Home
Demonstration Agent in your Coun-
ty, or from Headquarters at the
University of Maryland. College
Park.

Breaking up of the roads Of the
State during last winter and the
formation of so-called frost boils'
was due largely to lack of drainage
and the proper sealing of the roads,
according to DR.. Homer E. Tabler,
Chairman of the State Roads Com
mission To avoid repetition Of this
experience, he states that the heavi-
est program of oiling and sealing
carried ON in Maryland is being
undertaken.

When the Lord made the world in
six days he certainly was entitled to
rest on the seventh. Jest think of
the details he had to take care of to
make all the birds an animals an
fishes an plants an trees an flowers!
Jest teachin' the migratory birds
where too go and the way there and
back, was about as interestin' a
thing He ever did. And strangely
enough, migration of birds is old
stuff. It's in the books back there
nearly 5000 years, to the times OF
Homer, Herodotus, Aristotle, and
other old fellers like that.
Even in the Bible are several ref
erences to these regular movements
of birds In Job: Doth the hawk
fly by Thy wisdom, and stretch her
wings toward the South?" And
jeremiah wrote: THE stork in the
heavens knoweth her appointed
time; and the turtle (dove), and the
crane, and the swallow observe the
time of their coming" An the
fight of quail that saved the Israel
| ties from starvation in their wander
ings in the Wilderness of Sinai is
now figured out as a whoppin big
movement of quail between their
breedin' grounds an their Winter
home in Africa.
Looks as if country folks and city
folks are takin' more interest in
birds than they used to do. At one
time, express cars were packed full
with coops of quail that'd been
caught in nets, bein' shipped to the
northern markets-whole covies was
wiped out-an' the Government
figures every quail on the farm is
worth IS for the bugs and weed
seeds he eats.
An these Game Conservation fell
lers are dom great work-hatchin
quail in incubators and raisin' 'em
in breeders like baby chicks.
Here's some sure huff signs of i'm
provin' business conditions that beat

fessional economists:
