the Circuit Court moves to Charles
county to hear a case.
Raymond Iannucci, 308 Sixth
st. N. w., was called to the stand
by the prosecution today and teSti-
fled that last July he was arrested
by Policemen Warren Peake and
Claude Reese. charged with ex-
ceeding so miles an hour on the
Baltimore Boulevard.
Paid $50, He Says
Justice of the Peace Herbert
Moffatt set band at $1,000, he said,
and he was released after paying
$50 to Elmer Humphrey, the bonds
man.
Later, he testified, Humphrey
told him that if he paid $101.70 as
a fine and court costs he would
not lose his permit. He paid
Humphrey this sum and was given
a receipt which was signed by
Humphrey.
On cross-examination, he ad-
mitted that an offer to refund the
money was made, but that he re-
fused it and has entered suit to
recover SAC from Humphrey.
Arrested, He Says
Yesterday, Charles Hamilton,
colored, 1888 T st. N. W., told the
court he had been arrested on a
charge of speeding and released
after payment of a $50 bond fee,
but that the case had never come
to court.
1t was HAmilton's information
to the Washington police that
resulted in the arrest of Harry
MICH. Braxton last month on
bribery charges in Washington.
Braxton is implicated in an
alleged attempt of one Of the
defendants in the police trial to
bride Hamilton not to testify in
court.
Hamilton told the court he had
been arrested by County Officer
Warren Peake on a charge OF
exceeding so on the Baltimore
Boulevard and jailed at Hyatts-
vile on a warrant issued by
Herbert Moffat, the indicted
magistrate. He was released
later when his landlady, Agnes
McCrey, paid Humphrey $50 for
the bond. He said that later he
returned to the station house
and gave Peake $26.70 as the
fine in the case and was told
to forget all about it.
"Offered Me Money"
When asked by Ogle Marbury.

heard any more about the case,

attorney objected, and Judge
William Loker asked Marbur-' if
he could back up his question
with evidence. Marbury replied
that he could but not at that
time. The judge sustained the
objection and ordered Hamilton'S
remark stricken from the records.
On croSS-eXamination, defense
attorneys attempted to force an
admission from Hamilton that he
had been coerced into coming to
court. When asked by LanSdale
G. SaSscer, chief defense counsel,
if anyone had told him he would
get into trouble if he didn't APP
pear at the trial, Hamilton re-
piled:

Claims Increasing
 "The steadily mounting number of claims reflects the increase in the amount of payment for which the average wage earner In factory or store or other covered employment is eligible upon reaching age 66. Whereas on January 3l, the amount averaged $3.60, today the amount H about $35," Mir. Austin estimates. "Since payments are based on 3 l-2 per cent of covered wages between January 1, 1897, and the day the einploye becomes 65, the average claim increases each month.
 T believe the increase in claims is also due to the more general un- dertsanding that such claims are payable even while the individual IS still employed in business. Lump sum payments are now available when the covered wage earner reaches 65, whereas, monthly old age benefits which begin in 1922 will be payable only upon retire. ment at or after age 65.
 Legal Heirs
 Similar lurnp-sun1 payments are being made to the legal heirs of an employe who was covered by the law. If the deceased wage earner had received wages averaging $26 @ week from January to October IS, the lump-sun1 payment would approximate $35; if the wages were $50 Q week, the amount now due would be $70.
 Wage Credits
 During the first few months when there had been little time for the accumulation of wage credits, claims were relatively few and small. Since early summer, the number and size of individual claims has been increasing. The New England re- zion is now receiving over 300 claims Q week.
 ITO secure information as to lump-sum payments, wage earners o rtheir heirs should communicate with the local office of the Social Security Board ct l08 Bank street, Waterbury" MT. Austin explained. We shall be glad to supply the proper claims forms upon request"

their emphasis on safety first" this
year. Chevrolet goes so far as to

Pierce-Arrow and on the Hudson,
which has both hydraulic and me-
chanical brakes. and greater range
Of vision by means of larger and wee
type windshields, as on the Hupmobile
and the Packard.
RUT the most important safety fea-
lures are those which have been
adopted for the protection OF passen-
gers in case of collision. With this
mishap in mind. the designers Of some
cars-Chevrolet and Pontiac, for in
stance-have cushioned the top and
back of the front seat. In the
Chrysler and other cars the knobs
on the dash have been made flush
with the surface, the door handles
have been bent inward, so as not to
catch in clothing or injure persons,
and the dashboard raised so as to be
above the knee caps of those riding
on the front seat. In Oldsmobile all
instruments have been grouped be-
meath a steering wheel which has
been designed for especial safety,
thus leaving the right side of the
instrument panel entirely smooth.
Plymouth designers pay special at
tention to the small woman drivers
and offer a seat that rises as it comes
forward-a feature also retained in
this years Packard. Another innova-
ton for which the small woman will
be thankful is that, in general, wind
shield wipers have come from the tops
to the bottoms of the windshields.

Outside the actor group, most men
are better models than women as they
are not so self-conscious and it is
therefore easier to paint them as
they really are"

THE greatest concession to the
woman driver made by automo-
bile manufacturers in recent
L years is seen in the simplified
gear shift, featured on large number
of the various types of cars displayed
at this years Automotive Exhibit.
Despite the excellence of the much
maligned woman driver, she usually
finds that continued gear shifting
with its attendant arm and foot move
ments, is the most firing and exasper-
ating part Of driving in traffic. Not
that she cannot shift with ease and
drive with assurance, but she knows
that handling her car would require
less expenditure of effort If she did not
have it to do 1t is for this reason
that the woman who drives constantly
or occasionally, as the case may be-
should be particularly interested in the
several types Of simplified gear shift
ing-the outstanding improvement on
the new automobiles.
The most common example Of this
new feature is seen on the General
Motors products. On the Buick, Cad
lilac, La Sale, Oldsmobile and Pom
tiac the device is quite similar-a
knobbed lever extending beneath and
parallel to the right of the steering
wheel in all except the Pontiac. The
clutch is used in starting and the
shifting to higher or lower speeds is
automatic. In the Pontiac the gear Is
directly controlled by the driver.
The Chevrolet still retains the con-
ventional clutch and gear shift lever,
but even in this General Motors prod
uct the shifting process has been made
easier by means Of the "tiptoe-
matte" clutch-a device which re-
duces greatly the pedal pressure neces-
sary in ordinary shifting.
A SECOND type Of this improved
method of gear shifting is to be
seen on the new Nash and Studebaker
cars. In these cars a small lever ex-
tends from the instrument panel and
is operated in the usual manner.
A third type is to be found in the
Graham car. In place of the usual
gear shift, there is miniature lever
which extends from beneath the DASH
board and responds to the slightest
wrist action.
The fourth type is Hudson fea-
ture, in appearance very like the
device presented in previous years.
A small. f1nger-sized lever is placed
just below the right side of the
