we take coffee, some spices, a bit
of beef but little else. Therefore
there can be little with which the
South Americans can buy our man

IF during the last decade we had
helped develop tin mines below the

producing materials that we must
bring from outside anyhow. South
America would have credits with

Thereupon, Ted Farrell of the Bu-

Better Conditions
Noted Since Repeal

A statistical study by the Brewers
Institute of Maryland, of the seven
year period since repeal of the Pro-
hibition amendment on December 9th,
1893, reveals constant improvement of
conditions resulting from the regu-
lated and legal sale of beer and ale.
The record produced by the Brewers
Institute of Maryland includes the fol-
lowing points:
1. Immense progress throughout
the United States in reducing the
crime, racketeering and corruption
during prohibition. The nations pro-
hibition "crime bill" was estimated at
$4,000, 100000 paid for illicit liquor
and million dollars day for official
corruption. Encyclopedia Americana.
1934.) According to the Uniform
Crime reports of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, crimes in 223 cities
over 25, 900 population declined con-
siderably in 1889, despite the increase
in population.
2. Creation of $4,000, 100000 new
and legitimate retail business, en-
ployment of million people and pur-
chase by brewers of 20 billion pounds
Of grain.
8. Huge tax payments to Federal,
State and local governments, esti-
mated total since 1888, $4,000, 000, 900.
(Last year, over seven and half mil
lion dollars in taxes was paid by
Maryland Brewers.)
4. Progress in Highway Safet:
The National Safety Council is al
thority for the statement that moto
vehicle deaths dropped for the 1888
1899 period.
s. Widespread public recognition
and practice Of moderation in drink
ing.
The Brewers Institute Of Maryland
also reports that it's self-regulation
program is becoming established as
the most effective means of maintain
ing high standards wherever beer is
sold.

OF THE LINES
ON HIGHWAYS
Public Not Generally Enlighten-
ed As To Significance Of
Yellow And White Lines

Owing to the fact that in recent
week members of Governor O'Conor's
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
have come in contact with many per-
sons who do not seem to realize the
significance of the yellow and white
lines on the highway, the Committee
feels that a full explanation of the
meaning and Importance of these
markers is in order at this time.
The white lines are placed beside
the yellow markers to warn motor
lists that sight distances are insult
ficient to permit safe passing, and
that it is necessary for cars to stay
in the line of traffic, even though
there is not car approaching at the
moment.
If there is a white line on one side
of the yellow line that marks the CEN
ter Of the highway, the Committee
points out, it indicates that under no
condition is it safe for a motorist
on the side of the white line to pass
over the marker. Where a white
line is painted on either side of the
yellow marker, it is unlawful for the
motorist on either side to attempt to
cross the line, or pass another auto
mobile ahead, until the white line or
danger zone is passed.
E. r. McShane, Executive Secre-
tary of the Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee. in issuing the warning,
said "The Committee is making this
explanation in order that many motor
lists who have not heretofore recog-
nized the value and Importance of
these markers, may be informed, and
thus lend their support to the eff
forts of the Safety Committee to
improve conditions, and possibly save
themselves from arrest and fine"

has, without any just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted the plaintiff,

abandonment has continued uninter-
