UN.S0.-Stardom on the screen

with a million dollars to be

This is the choice facing
Betty Cradle, blonde actress,
who is supposed to become Mrs.
Coogan next December.
There Is no indication, at pres.

the date was set, conditions have
arisen that make the decision

In short, she has been Of

Paramount, which hasn't been
so excited in the past about
Betty, is giving her top billing

over, studio bosses have prom
ised that this is only the begin,
ning-if Betty sticks.
But Betty is in love. And
Jackie has put thumbs down on
a career for her after marriage.
We've got all we'll ever need, "
we're going to, get on a boat
and get out of here"
It's the old story-marriage

high enough to make any girl
think twice.

MARYLAND PENALIZED FOR GAS
TAX DIVERSION

Maryland has become the first
state In the Union to feel the teeth
of the Hayden-Cartwright Act. Mo-
tice was given last week to the State
Roads Commission that Maryland's
participation in Federal-aid for high
way construction would be curtailed
to the extent of $341, $4,000.
The infection of this penalty
which is one third of the amount of
Federal funds allotted for the year,
is merited punishment, according to
Garrison P. Knox, Manager of the
Keystone Automobile Club, which for
years has conducted an extensive
campaign against road fund diver
sion.
Mr.. Knox also points out that this
first penalty is not the last. as the
Bureau of Public Roads clearly indi-
Gates in its letter to DR.. Tabler of the
State Roads Commission that If di-
version of road funds continues the
Federal penalty will be materially
boosted next year and each succeed
ing year that diversion continues.
GAS matters stand today" contin-
ued Mr.. Knox, Maryland will I'M
doubtedly be penalized to the extent
Of S1,431OOO during the period end
ing June 30th, 1899 solely through
the fact that our Legislators cannot
or will not recognize the fact that di-
version of road funds is normally and
economically unsound.
Not only this but diversion OF
road funds is distinct breach OF
faith with the Maryland public who
have paid this money in full expecta-
ton the State would adhere to the
purposes in levying the tax and use
the money for road construction end
maintenance.
ITO our minds, it appears that the
Bureau of Public Roads has clearly
issued the challenge to Maryland
either to end diversion for all time
or take the consequences of curtailed
federal aid.
1.-THE situation Is one that is
fraught with Importance and the &C
lions of the Legislature very vitality
concern every man, woman and child
in this State. The remedy as we see
it is the immediate passage of the
Gorfine anti-diversion resolution"

EASTER

On Sunday next March %, the
whole Christian world celebrates one
of the greatest feast days in the
Church, the resurrection Of Christ.
Its importance is made manifest in
that the Apostles made it the basis of
their teachings, and unbelievers in
that day were shown that Christ was
the true son of God, in that he arose
from the dead, as He had prophesied.
The divinity of Christ does not de-
pend entirely upon the Resurrection,
as His character and words showed
Him for what he truly was. But
since He has made His resurrection
the ultimate confirmation of His di-
vine claim, it gives the utmost proof
of the truth of His supernatural
power and His mission on earth.
Easter is a glorious event, in that
the Lenten season, which precedes
for forty days, when all Christians
are required to make some sacrifice
for Him who sacrificed all for US, is
over, and we rejoice that Christ has
arisen from the dead and conquered
sin and death, and all Christians be-
lieve that they too shall arise from
the dead, as Christ foretold. Hence
the happy Easter season fills our
heart with gladness and thanks
giving.

YEARS CASUALTY LIST

The National Safety Council re
ports that during 1886 accidents
killed Ill, 1000 persons in the United
States, and caused an economic loss
totaling $3,75O,00O,OO0. Both fig
ures represent all-time high records.
In addition to the fatalities, about
100000 persons were permanently
disabled by accidents, and 1O,3OG,-
600 temporarily disabled.
Accidents rose in every field.
Home accidents took $4,000 lives
"a per cent more than in 1895. Oc-
cupational accidental deaths rose 9
per cent, to $4,000. Miscellaneous
public accidents not involving auto
mobiles, rose per cent, and killed
$4,000.
Worst of all was the toll of the au-
tomobile. While the percentage rise
was smaller than in most classified
tons, per cent, fatalities reached
the CHASTITY total of $4,000.
It is clear from these figures that
safety work has only begun. Never
was the responsibility of educators,
public groups, police and the courts
greater. Even in 1886 many states,
cities and industries managed to
show substantial reductions in acct
dental deaths, as result of contin-
uous and aggressive safety programs.
And in the thirty states which show
ed increased death totals, according
to the Council, More than half have
not performed notable work in any
important branch of traffic safety
work :" Nothing could prove
more conclusively that safety work
gets results-and lack of safety work
keeps the undertaking parlors hum
ming.
1t is encouraging that plans fol
1887 in most states involve material
increases in safety work of all kinds
Perhaps we are beginning to learn
something from our horrible past
death tolls-and are at last on the
road that leads toward general acct
dent prevention.
