PROBLEMS AND HAZARDS
OF LONG-AGO MOTORING

The problems and hazards of mo-
toring forty years ago were OF no
less Importance than those of today.
They were front page news, if of a
somewhat more subdued nature than
today.
Two stories, which may or may not
be true, have lately appeared in the
papers about electric cabs which
started with their passengers, ladies
in each case, and could not be stopped
until the batteries had "run OUT. One
was in the high speed and carried its
victims out into the remotest suburbs
of Boston, whence they sadly returned
by the steam cars.
The other was running more slowly,
and as it was evening the driver was
able to go round and round the block,
the machine finally stopping within
a door or two of his flares" destina-
ton, which she entered-being hidden
there to a dinner-just as the other
guests were leaving the table.
Graham White, driving Partisan
Daimler, had an adventure on the run
from Edinburg to Newcastle. 1t ap-
pears that when II miles north of AL
wick, on quiet bit of road, he yielded
to the request of one of his passengers
to be allowed to try hand at driving.
The result was that the said novice
turned the car into the ditch, and the
effect of this little contretemps was
to break the bracket of the steering
gear.
Standing on the off step with his
left foot, he kept his right on the hub
of the off front wheel. and, by pres
sure only, he guided the car the whole
way to Newcastle. What is still more
wonderful, he averaged 10 miles an
hour for the 81 miles, and as the road
included several steep hills, two or
three controls" and a compulsory
stop Of quarter of an hour for tea
at Morpeth, he must have Travelled
at good speed at several stages of
the journey.

Accomac last Saturday night to escort
his mother, Mrs. C.. M. Oliver for a
visit to his home. AS he approached
Cape Charles on the steamer, a
stranger came up to him and calling
him by name asked for ride as far
as Gargatha. Mr.. Oliver agreed to
bring him as far as Accomac.
AS they neared Belle Haven Station
the stranger poked gun in Mr.. Oil
ver's side and told him to bring the
car to stop. After Mr.. Oliver had
done so the robber asked for his poe
ket book, took a knife and cut the
string holding his watch, asked for
his cigarettes and then disappeared
from the automobile. Mr.. Oliver has
no clue by which to identify the man.

sumo. On July first a new and an
additional tax was imposed by the
Federal Government for the defense
of the Nation. While liquor is a re-
cognized luxury and the average citi-
zen does not object to paying taxes
thereon, he does most strenuously OBJ
ject to being "gyped" by the license
holder in to drinking a brand inferior
to that which he has purchased and
paid for. Some cases have been found
where alcohol and colored water have
been passed off by tavern-keepers as
legitimate stuff, poured from bottles
containing recognized and we'll adver-
tised labels.
By limiting the number of licenses
and in other ways, this Board has
done a great deal to protect the tav-
ern-keeper and stabilize his business.
We felt this sterilization would go far
towards ending abuses which we
found in the trade last year. We be-
lieve the householder should make
an honest living and a fair profit on
what he sells; and we stand ready
to protect him to the limit in the exer-
Gle of his lawful rights.
However, we have higher duty,
and that is to protect the public from
the "chiseling fringe" in the liquor
trade.
So far as we are able, we shall see to
it that the Baltimore liquor consumer
when he orders a drink, gets exactly
what he orders and pays for.
The Federal and State governments
collect hundreds of millions of dollars

Taaes Per Dollar of Telephone
telephone and made long distance
call, which cost more than SOC, you
had to pay the Federal Government
toll charge which averaged in 1889,
$1.41.
Although telephone expenses in
Maryland in the ten-year period from
1929-1939 have been reduced by an
average of $4.74 per telephone per
year, repeated rate reductions have
decreased revenues $7.58 per telephone
per year as taxes increased $2.SS per
telephone per year.
Briefly, the telephone user pays
these taxes because the money paid by
them for efficient speedy telephone
service constitutes practically the only
source of revenue.

THE REFILLINC OF
BOTTLES MUST Be
STOPPED AT ONCE

A vigorous campaign will be launch
ed by the Board to break up the prac-
tice of bottle refilling, which has been
found to exit in numerous licensed
places in Baltimore.
Both the Federal and State laws
forbid licensee to tamper with, refill
or adulterate the contents of any
bottle containing alcoholic beverage.
Notwithstanding this provision, how
ever, we have received complaints
that some tavern-keepers are refill
ing bottles of well-known liquor
brands with inferior grades, some
times with untaxed bootleg whisky.
This practice is not only a fraud upon
the public, but results in the State and
Federal governments losing countless
thousands of dollars annually in taxes.
In recent survey made by the New
York Post it was estimated that fifty
per cent of all liquor consumed in
New York taverns was poured from
refilled bottles. To aid in detecting
and furnishing these violations the
Legislature of New York has recently
passed statute specifically prohibit
ing the practice. The Alcoholic Bever-
age Commissioner of New Jersey has
sixteen men to do nothing else but
visit ION premises" licenseee to check
the integrity of the contents of open
bottles. 1t is estimated there that
three times as many men could be
effectively used and that the cost of
this additional personnel would be
more than offset by the gain to the
state in taxes if the practice is broken
up. In this State, where conditions
are not at all different from other
eastern states, no serious effort has
been made by law enforcement Off
Gals to blast this evil. Complaints
received and preliminary investi-
cation by our staff convince us that
the practice is as widespread here as
elsewhere.
We have, therefore, procured the
necessary testing equipment and shall
assign a portion of our small field
staff exclusively to this work, making
sporadic inspections of licensed places
in various sections of the city and at
odd hours of the day and night. Thus
no householder will know when our
inspecting squad is about to visit his
premises. To aid us in the enforce
ment of this provision a rule has been
adopted by the Board, effective at
once, under our rule-making power
(section 24) in order to enforce Sec
ton 2 of the State Liquor Law. The
rule is as follows:
"No householder shall reuse, re-
fill, tamper with, adulterate, dilute
or fortify the contents of, any con-
tainer of alcoholic beverages"
License-holders who are proved tc
have served liquor from refilled OF
adulterated bottles will receive SUI
spensions of their licenses at oul
hands.

Nearly every American at one time
or another during his life has had to
make a visit to the Internal Revenue
Collector, State Comptroller, or the
City Collector. He has to make such
a visit because he pays taxes. But
not every American realizes that the
major portion of the tremendous an
nual tax bill is obtained in the form
of indirect or hidden levies.

arettes, railroads.&c. are invisible, I'M

The Maharajah stared. He seemed
uncertain whether to feel fattered
or offended. He laid down the drum

the desk with his fingernails:

of you, go and stand over in that
corner, with your backs to the

The servant obeyed promptly. He
went down on his knees in the cor
ner. He put his hands together and
held them in front of his face. The
Bengal backed away slowly, watch
ing Norwood's eyes. He backed un-
til he reached a bookcase. Sudden
ly he snatched a stamp album and
hurled it at the goblet. Norwood
caught the album in his right hand,
by one leaf of the cover. He Sc,
the goblet on the desk, without spill
ing more than two or three drops.
Then he closed the album carefully
and gave it to the Maharajah. The
Maharajah petted it, stroked it:
"My collection of Cape of Good

glared at the Bengal. "You vandal!
Now I know you are guilty! Why
did you throw it?"
The Bengali had recovered some

The door behind the screen
opened, closed again, and the Ma
haranee appeared. Norwood bowed
to her, but she took no notice OF
him. She went straight to the Ma
harajah, knelt beside his chair, and
whispered. He grumbled at her,
