Line Painting Machine
Marks Roads
New State Roads Device Will
Mark Thirty Miles In Day

A line-painting machine, capable
of marking around thirty miles of
highway per day, has been placed in
service by the State Roads Commits
sion. The machine was designed and
constructed in the Southern Avenue
shops of the Commission in Balti-
more.
First tests of the new device in
Southern Maryland have been high
ly satisfactory, according to State
roads engineers. Replacing labor
ious and expensive hand operation in
the painting of center-lines, it is ex-
pected that it will prove boon to
motorists on highways all over the
State. Because of the narrowness
and crookedness of many of the
States main arteries, they are diff
cult to follow at night, and particu-
larly in fog, without center-lines.
The line-painter is mounted on a
small truck. 1t has three paint
tanks of 55-gallon capacity each
one for white, one for yellow and one
for black paint. Selection of colors
can be made instanteously. Three
pumps control the flow of paint to
nozzles, which spread the paint uni
formly as to thickness and width.
Prior to the painting of road,
daubs of paint are placed along the
center at 15-foot intervals. The
driver of the machine keeps a set of
sights focused on these spots and
thus is able to steer a true course.
Compensation is made in the sights
for running a true center-line around
curves.
After few changes to be made in
the design of the paint pump, the
line-painter will go into service over
the State. A number Of roads al
ready have been marked out for
painting.
"We believe the addition of line
painting machine of our own inven-
ton to the equipment list will add
greatly to safety on our Highways"
said statement Of the State Roads
Commission. Besides eliminating
slow and dangerous operation of
hand painting the lines, the machine
multiplies the lineage many times.

TOTAL OF SEAL SALES

The results of the Christmas Seal
sale in both city and counties have
been very good to date and the chan
ces of the state reaching the goal set
are excellent, William B. Matthews.
Managing Director Of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association reported.
"Of course" Mr.. Matthews said,
much depends upon those who have
postponed sending their contribu-
lions in. If these persons respond
favorably within the next few weeks,
the desired sum will be reached and
the necessary funds for continuing
the statewide fight against tubercu-
losis will be available"
The total of the sales reported to
date amounts to $21,869.38. OF this
sum Cecil county contributed $3.50.

HOLD UP THAT FAILED

Miss Mae McFadden, member Of
Rising Sun Elementary School facul-
ty, met with an unexpected and
nerve-racking road experience on
Saturday morning.
While enroute in her car from her
home near Woodlawn, to Perryville,
she was stopped near Asbury Church
by man who had gotten out of his
car, left parked along the roadside.
The man stood in the middle of the
road, stopping Miss McFadden, and
informed her that one of the wheels
of her car was about to come of.
He said he thought he could drive
the car safely to Perryville, and
opened the door and started to get
in with Miss McFadden. The young
lady, however, seemed to think If the
car could be driven she would do the
driving, and pushed the stranger
from the running board, stepped on
the gas, and left him waiting at the
church"
On reaching Perryville Miss Nc
Fadden stopped at a garage, reported
the occurrence, and had her car look
ed over by a mechanic, who assured
her it was not in need of repair.
Who the stranger was, or what his
purpose, is not known, as no trace Of
him could be found.

Penal System Needs
Are Cited
In Annual Report Submitted
To Board Of Welfare

Unless some solution is found 70:
the idleness in the prisons Of Mary
land, the present situation cannot
do other than increase our problems,
not only criminal but mental" Har-
old E. Donnell, State Superintendent
of Prisons, warned in his annual re-
port to Charles ]. Butler. chairman
of the Board of Welfare.
Mr.. Donnell drew attention to a
number of needs and situations ex-
listing in the penal system of Mary
Among them were:
The two principal institutions
(Penitentiary and House of Correc-
ton, were overcrowded last year to
the extent of 664 inmates.
Completion of the penal farm at
Roxbury would care for $50 inmates
instead of the present capacity of ESQ.
A separate unit at the Western
Maryland institution for the treat
ment of tuberculosis cases among the
inmates is suggested, since fourteen
of the twenty deaths in the penal in
situations in the State resulted from
this disease.
Completion of the penal farm will
permit proper classification and seq
regation of Maryland's 5000 prison.
ers.
With the present personnel (small
in number and low in wages), it is
impossible to institute any construc-
tive program in the prisons.
If the Government does not con-
tinue to sponsor the educational pro-
gram in the prisons, some provisions
must be made by the State for the
more youthful and trainable inmate
population.
A higher salary for the guards is
urged eff we are going to do other
than just keep men confined"

Tubercular Negroes
Endanger State
More Funds Are Wanted For
Sanatoria For Diseased
Colored People

tuberculosis among the Negroes OF
MARYLAND, officials Of the States san
atorium system told the State senate
Finance Committee, is at hlgn
enough rate to present grave men
ace to the entire population, white
and colored.
DIR. Victor F. Cullen, superintend-
ont If State sanatoriums, and DR.. H.
Warren Buckler, chairman of the
hoard of managers of the sanatorlum
at Sabillasville, told the committee
large numbers of Negro patients were
so far gone with the disease when
thew were found that they died on the
wav to hospitals, or in the long wait
ing period that must precede hospit-
alization under the present system.
These desperately i'll Negroes"
said DR.. Buckler, work In many
cases in homes as domestics, in laun-
dries and in other such places, where
thew have close contact with the
white population as we'll as the col
ored.
MANY are open cases, cases IN
which the risk of contagion is grave.
We are doing all we can to isolate
them at present, but more must be
done to remove this menace.
The officials revealed to the COM
mittee that they have requested
$4,000 for new construction. They
said they hoped Governor Nice would
include the item in his budget, and
thew appeared before the committee
to ask that it be kept intact If the
Governor does include it.
OF the s332,0OO, only one small
item of $4,000 was asked for increase
of facilities available for white pa
tents. All the rest was for add
tions to facilities for Negroes.
The institution at Henderton, the
States Negro sanatorium, would get
most of the money. Maintenance
costs for the coming fiscal year for
all institutions, both white and col
ored. would be $5S4,930, the officials
said. This figure would incluse REF
toration of all salary cuts.

IMPORTATION OF RED CLOVER
udPERILS QUALITY OF SEED

Importation of red clover seed In
uuantity-probably from Is to 20
million pounds before planting time,
or approximately half OF the total
domestic supply-is considered a def
mite hazard to the quality of future
seed stocks of red clover, says E. A.
Hollowell, clover specialist of the U.
8. Department of Agriculture.
Most of this foreign clover seed ID
selling at 8 to 10 cents a pound less
than the short supply of domestic
seed. The farmer, says Hollowell,
may choose any one Of three courses.
He may buy the cheap foreign seed
the higher-priced domestic seed, or
substitute other grasses and legumes
in place of the red clover. But he
would be wiser to choose, Hollowell
emphasizes, between the higher pric-
ed domestic seed or substituting some
other legumes in mixtures with
grasses. Cheap and unadapted for
eign seed would be costly at any
price, and Is . poor choice.
