For November Week, the Governor
continues, pledges Of cooperation have
been received from the leading moving
picture theatre interests Of Baltimore
and of some Of the smaller cities, to
the extent of running movie 'trailers'
explaining the aims of Safety Week,
and urging greater care an dcourtesy
both in driving and in walking. Coun-
ty chairmen are completing plans too,
he said, looking to a more complete
utilization of the radio to spread the
message of Safety. For the two re-
naming Weeks, it is the Committees

with the utmost certainty, is that we
have impressed upon a great many
people of our State the distressing
realization that we have been, as a
people, mot negligent in our attitude
to accidents and deaths from traffic,
and hat this negative attitude must
be abandoned if we are to deserve the

somewhat, to more than eighty men,

organized tbs own subcommittee built

twenty have included outstanding men
and women, judges of the various cir

In the history of the children of

read that they were admonished to
cleanse the altar after making sacrt-

to leave behind, to clean away, the
shadows, discouragements, and dis
appointments of yesterday and begin
anew, fortified by new conservation,
new vision, fresh aspiration?

OCT. SAFETY WEEK
GETS COOPERATION
STATES GOVERNOR

With accident records of the State
Police showing a decrease of five
deaths during the first seven days of
October, from 10 last year to this
year, and reports from the Counties
showing widespread cooperation in
efforts to reduce the toll of traffic ia
talities, Governor Herbert R. O'Con-
or this week expressed great salts
faction with the results of October
Safety Week, October 1 to z, under
the auspices Of the Maryland Traffic
Safety Committee.
According to practically complete
reports from the County chairman,
more than 100 Safety meetings were
held, with civic, fraternal, P. T. A.,
Veterans and other groups, while in
the schools, extra periods devoted to
teaching Safety reached in excess of
100000 pupils, both parochial and pub
lie schools cooperating. Several Coun-
ties told of church cooperation as well,
one chairman reporting Safety talks
from the pulpits of 81 churches, with
approximate total congregations of
225O.
The October Safety effort, Governor
O'Conor pointed out, was the first of
three such drives, the others being
scheduled for the first weeks of No
vember and December. Accident sta
tistics over a period of years, he said,
indicated that the uast quarter Of the
year usually is the worst from a ia
tally standpoint, and it was for this
reason these three weeks were set a.
side, during which to drive home to
the people of the State the seriousness
of the traffic situation on Maryland's
streets and highways. y
Thomas P. Abbott, Baltimore mer-
chant, general chairman of the Mary
land Traffic Safety Committee, has
issued call for meeting of the Exc
cutive Committee to consider the re-
suits achieved during October Safety
Week, and to plan even more compre-
hensively for the observance of No
vember Safety Week, November 1 to
z. At this meeting, appointment of
chairmen and members of the perma-
nent subcommittee will be consider
ed, to enable the Statewide Commit
tee to begin its long range program
of adult and school safety education,
statistic gathering, and study of and
recommendations for improvements on
roads engineering, traffic enforcement
and legislation, etc., looking towards
a coordinated plan of Statewide SAT-
ETY. that will overlook nothing that
might contribute to greater safety for
motorists and pedestrians alike.

ernor O'Conor asserted, "were decid-

MODERN TELEPHONY IS
RESULT OF ENDLESS RE-
SEARCH and EXPERIMENT
Factors Of Distance, Bad Trans
mission, And Cost Had To
Be Overcome

One Of the earliest printed refer
ences to transmission" as applied to
the telephone appeared in a four-page
folder issued in May, 1S77-the first
telephone advertisement. This was a
little more than year after the tele-
phone was invented. The first para
graph of this historic document is
printed below. II shows that then, as
now, three factors were involved in the
electrical transmission Of speech.
"The proprietors of the Tele-
phone, the invention Of Alexander
Graham Bell, for which patents
have been issued by the United
States and Great Britain, are now
prepared to furnish Telephones
for the transmission Of articulate
speech through instruments not
more than twenty miles apart.
Conversation can be easily carried
on after slight practice and with
the occasional repetition of a
word or sentence. On first listen
ing to the Telephone, though the
sound is perfectly audible, the
articulation seems to be indis-
tinct; but after few trials the
ear becomes accustomed to the
peculiar sound and finds little
difficulty in understanding the
words"

SOME BALL PLAYERS
VIOLATE HUNTING LAWS

William Rawson, sportsman, charg-
ed by Deputy Game Warden Merwin
E. Watson, with fishing without Ii
cense while angling from boat with
Richard T. (Dick) Porter, manager
Of the Syracuse International League
Baseball Club, pleaded not guilty in
Peoples Court last week and after
hearing testimony Judge E. Sheldon
Jones held the case sub curia, prom
Using a decision at later date.
Porter was not summoned, he hav-
ing produced an anglers license.
The defendant claimed he did not
think a license was needed in that
the old Anderson pond, near Rocka-
walkin, was privately owned and that
he had permission from the owner,
William H. Hutchings, president of
the Tri-State Sportsman's Club.
The case is regarded as a "test''
case, being the first of its kind to be
tried in the courts at Salisbury.
Hutchings maintained that he had
right to permit friends to fish in
the pond without license while Watson
cited that the State law requires that
all persons fishing for game fish in
lakes and ponds above a point where
the tide GIBBS and flows are required to
be licensed. The only exceptions are
property owners fishing from shore
adjacent to their property bordering
on streams, the owners families, ten

The first of these factors was dis
lance. It will be noted that telephones
were available for transmission
Through instruments not more than
twenty miles apart" The first tele-
phones were leased in pairs and pro-
vided no inter-communicating service.
The lines which connected these pairs
were rarely more than few miles in
length; often they merely crossed the
street.
The second factor was the clearness
or quality Of transmission. Through
the primitive telephones Of 1877, the
articulation was admittedly "indis-
tinct" and was received as strange
sound" The first step in remedying
such transmission defects was the
improvement of the telephone instru-
ment itself; the second was the devel-
opment Of better circuits.
The third factor was the cost Of pro-
viding transmission facilities. One Of
the most important Of the many
achievements Of telephone research and
engineering has been the reduction Of
the cost Of service by finding ways Of
using the same physical conductors
for more than one conversation at
the same time.
BY 1915, the loading coils, the
vacuum tube repeater and other trans
mission developments had so far
EXTENDED the distance over which the
voice could travel by wire that the
first transcontinental telephone line
was built and nationwide service
became an accomplished fact. Four

Europe's Problems Not Big Enough

Even in the days when formid-

never had good fortune in Italy very
long.
In your glorious military history,
oh people of Piedmont, there are
many memorable episodes which
demonstrate how unhealthy has
been the passage of overbearing peo-
pie through Italy.

Maps of three continents have

observed that neither Japan, Ger

the great democracies.

1t is not then question Of ter

system was constructed at Ver-

pointed against Germany and Italy
Now this system has irreparably
collapsed And thus it is attempted
to substitute it with guarantees more
or less demanded and more or less
plurilateral.
That the great democracies are
not sincerely devoted to the cause of
peace is incontestably demonstrated
in that they have already started
what might be called white war,
that is to say, war on economic
ground.
They deceive themselves into
thinking they are weakening us.
1t is not only with gold that wars
are won. Besides gold, and more
important, is will, and still more i'm

bloc of l50,000,000 which grows from
the Baltic to the Indian Ocean will
not permit itself to be overpowered.
Any attack will be useless, any
attack will be repulsed with the
greatest decision.
And after the pistol system, the
system OF guarantees also will COL
lapse.
