SALISBURY NOTES ADVENT
OF ITS FIRST AUTOMOBILE

With Salisbury's thoroughfares at
times today well nigh impossible be-
cause of the congestion of motor We
hicles "old timers" recall that it was
just 81 years ago this month-April
IL, 1900 to be exact-that the first
automobile made it's appearance in the
town.
Incidentally it was William Edison,
son of the late Thomas A. Edison,
late internationally known inventor,
who owned the first car there.
Speaking of the innovation at the
turn of the century, The Salisbury
Advertiser said:
"Mr. VIM. Edison, son of the great
Thomas A. Edison, arrived in town
Thursday with Mrs. Edison, who was
Miss Blanche Travers, and her sister,
Miss Fannie Travers, from New York.
They were guests of Mrs. Fannie
Hearn, Park Street.
"Mr. Edison has with him his auto
mobile and is spending much of each
day riding with his friends through
the streets and over the shell roads.
This is the first of the new vehicle
that has ever been in Salisbury, and
perhaps of the Peninsula. Many of
our citizens saw for the first time an
automobile.
"Mr. Edison's is driven by steam,
and like the China-man's cable car
it has mo pullee, no pushee, but goes
like hellee, ALA samee."
Mr.. Edison later became a resident
of Salisbury. He and Mrs Edison,
who was native of Wicomico county,
are still living and reside in Whining
ton, Delaware.

UNIVERSITY GIVES COURSE
IN AUTOMOBILE SAFETY

In an effort to help reduce motor
accidents fatalities by public educa-
tion, the University of Maryland sum-
mer session will offer the Neyhart
system of teaching traffic safety to
limited number of high school teach
ers, in program that has as it's even
tual aim, the presentation of such
courses to every high school student
in Maryland.
a test class of thirty high school
students will be used as a laboratory
for the high school teachers, who will
alternate in instructing the class in
motor safety and vehicle operation.
At the close of the course, students
enrolled will take the District of Col
lumbia operators license test; all
teachers qualifying in the course will
receive certificates of proficiency,
qualifying them to present similar
courses in their home schools.
Dean Willard S. Small, director of
the Summer Session, announced re-
Gently that Mr.. J. E. Armstrong, teach
er at Glen Burnie High School and a
student of the course under it's found
er, will be the instructor. Through
the cooperation of the American Auto
mobile Association, dual control cars
will be used throughout the actual

KIDNAPERS MUST PAY

The kidnapping and brutal Staying of
little Charles Mattson Mortified a nation
that waited and hoped for word that his
life was safe. The finding of his battered
body in the snow made real the fears en-
tertained by millions who knew him only
through the newspapers that recounted
the story of his capture
That the nations police, in full force,
gave its best energy to the capture and
punishment of the nonstrous brute was
but evidence of the deep reuuision created
in this country. Men and women abhor
kidnapping like no other crime and those
guilty of it must be apprehended and
punished.
The Citizen finds it hard to believe
that normal humanity. produces specimens
so degraded as to kill innocent little chill
dren in the search for money. 1t is some
solace to other human beings to believe
that those connected with such fearful acts
are abnormal but no mitigation of their
guilt or excuse for their continued pres.
ence on earth.
We do not relish the torture of Grim
inals nor do we advocate the death
penalty, except in emergencies, but no
death can adequately punish kidnapers.

The people of the United States, with
one mind, look to the nations police forces
to apprehend the guilty hands that struck
down young Charles Mattson and to the
law of the land for action to discourage
such outrages against civilization and the
home.

HOUSING A NATIONAL NEED.

When President Roosevelt stressed
the fact that millions of Americans live in
homes which lack modern facilities and
actually breed disease he directed atten-
ton to one of the sore spots of life in this
country. He might have added that, in
many instances, living conditions also pro-
mots immortality
The problem does not exist in the
large cities, where slums abound, any
more than in the smaller urban commun-
ties and on the farms of the nation. Lack
of adequate housing is national problem
that can not be solved by blaming selfish
landlords although there is something that
can be done to curb the rapacity of a
minority among them X a - \

bond and stockholders lose their in
