Maryland Safety
Body Praised BY
Traffic Expert
Statistical EnfOr c e m e n t
Groups Busy; State Death
Toll Drops By Two

High hopes for the success of
the Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mittee's efforts for 1910 were
voiced by Paul F. Stricken, field
representative of the Matt nal
Safety Council, Chicago, who made
a special visit to the State last
week to confer with the Governor
and members of the executive COM
mittee. He was particularly i'm
pressed, he declared, with the high
calibre of public-spirited citizens
interested in the work, and said
that while his work took him to
practically every state in the
Union, he had yet see a better
set-up, or a more enthusiastic
group than he met here.
An important step was reported
y the statistical group, of which
lolger Jensen is chairman. In
comparison with other states.
Maryland has been woefully weak
in the matter of collecting vital
statistics regarding traffic acct
dents, but under Mr.. Jensen plans
already are in the making for con-
solidating W rk done up to this
time, partly by the State police
and partly by the Commissioner
OF Motor Vehicles Office, and to
supplement this. Already the sta
tistical committee has contacted
every state and larger cities of the
country to ascertain the most ap-
proved methods of gathering data
and # compiling and using it. 1t
is expected that within a relatively
short time, the Safety Committee
will thus develop a statistical
bureau second to none.
In the field Of enforcement, the
committee already has secured CO.
operation among Colonel Beverly
Ober, Superintendent of State
Police; Commissi ner Robert F.
Stanton of the Baltimore Police
Force, and A. Burton Metzger,
chairman of the enforcement COM
mittee of the Safety Committee,
looking to stricter enforcement
along the m st approved present
day lines.
During 1889 and so far this
year. while the counties have
shown a marked betterment in the
matter of fatal accidents, the Bal
timore city record has not kept
step with the counties, and it is
hoped that "an about face" will be
achieved this year. AS of last
Saturday night, the State as a
whole had bettered last years
traffic record by two. There had
been only "a deaths from traffic
accidents against 26 in 1889, With
the counties sh~wing reduction of
6. from 10 to IS. During the
period Baltimore city had II
deaths in 1910, against z for 1889.

When Ingrid Bergman arrived re-
Gently in New York on her way back
to Hollywood to make Joan Of Arc"
she made two definite statements to
the press. ID If she becomes IA
nous she will not forget her hus-
band, back in Stockholm. (2) Dur
ing this stay in the United States
she absolutely will not lose her head
over American ice cream, as she
did the last time she was here.
AS . matter Of fact, she has al
ready become famous. Contrary to
custom, she was introduced to the
public In her first American picture,
'Intermezzo," without the usual bal
lyhoo. She saved the picture, de-
spite the fact that Leslie Howard,
Edna Best, and two enchanting chill
dren were also In the cast-and an
enchanting child can give the most
experienced actress the toughest
kind Of opposition.
Miss Bergman should be perfect
for Joan Of Arc"; her beauty,
talent and sincerity make it fitting
that the role should be hers.

Way To Break Down Order

eff my chief purpose in life were to
break down our political, industrial
and social order, I would naturally
take the surest and most effective
means, and the means that might be
least eXpected-that is, through in
volving the Government in extrava-
gance for well-meaning and high
sounding detectives, which, of course,
would result in high taxes, and in order
to make these taxes most effective in
bringing about a chaotic condition, 1
would concentrate the taxes on the
employers-on the business men of
the nation"
On a road sign just east of Oak
land, this trueism appears:
"If you work for a living you are
in business; business helps you and
you help business"
A farmer writes to his son in COL
lege in 1888:
81 am becoming alarmed at the ad-
ministration. 1t has too many schemes.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his advisers seem
determined to relieve US at any price.
In their big heartedness l feel that
they will eventually hug us to death.
They have placed a whole basket of
eggs under each one of large flock
of queer looking hens. None of these

ers will lose the entire setting bought
at a high price"

If the farmer was alarmed then
the man must be in the insane asylum
by this time or else he has been scared
to death.

Disbursements also increased. The

eminent were for roads and schools.

diture of $11,418,138. Educational
costs were $9,297 ,297, also increased
slightly over the $9,O3O,627 spent in

Italian source said today italy prob
ably will retain her policy of non

This informant said the visit,
while important" is not regarded
by Italians as an occasion for alarm.
Adolf Hitler was believed in italian
circles to have taken the initiative
in sending Won Ribbentrop, and dip

IN Scandinavia as result of British
French help to Finland.

Italians assumed that Won Rib.

situation. including the Finnish
Russian conflict, the italian British
coal controversy and the possibility

agreement.
Won Ribbentrop was expected to
remain two days. Italian newspapers
predicted that during his visit he
would apologize for the bombing of
the Italian merchant vessel Amelia
Lauro of the British coast this week.
The report that Won Ribbentrop
was bringing q delegation puzzled
diplomats, as a staff usually accom-
panies foreign minister only when
there is some formal agreement to
negotiate.
Well-informed Fascists expressed
belief Germany was inclined to ex-
ert pressure on Russia to moderate
her peace terms to Finland. They
also thought Britain and France had
informed the Firms of aid they were
prepared to furnish.

The battle over the Hatch bill
for State employees, driving a deep
wedge into Democratic ranks, forced
the Senate into an unusual Satur-
day session today, but with no GER
tainty of when the showdown will
come.
The split among Democrats over
the issue was emphasized late yes
terday when Majority Leader Bark

session today was challenged with
motion by Senator McKellar,
Democrat, OF Tennessee to adjourn
until Monday. The move for delay
was beaten, however, "a to 80, just
as three attempts to alter the Hatch
plan also we're defeated during the
weekly q coalition of Repub-

Earlier In the afternoon q group

the course of what is said to have
