MEASURE TO CREATE NEW
COURT OF APPEALS

Annapolis, March A Reorganiza-
ton of the Maryland Court of APP
peals to make that Court a purely
appellate body, as proposed by the
Maryland Bar Association measure
now in the Legislature, was backed
by Governor Herbert r. O'Conor in
a statement here today
Noting the fact that the Mary
land System has been practically un-
changed for seventy-five years, he
compared the Maryland Court with
that of other states where, he de-
clared, Judges Of the highest court
devote themselves exclusively to ap-
pellate work"
The proposed Bill, providing for
a bench of six judges, of which four
would be from the counties, provides
that these judges would handle ap-
pellate work only, instead of the
Chief Judges, as at present, being
called upon to hear cases both of
trial and of appeal.
cover and above other consider
ations", the Governor said, lis that
of securing the highest order of jul
dicial service in the tribunal. AS the
Court of last resort in our State, the
Importance of its work cannot be
over-estimated."
Governor O'Conor was particular
ly impressed, he declared, with the
provision which would widen the
field from which judges of the Court
of Appeals could be chosen, as he
felt that the present limitations of
the various circuits do not always
permit wide range of possible Sc
lections. The Bar Association Bill
provides that one Judge be selected
from Allegany, Garrett, Frederick,
Washington and Montgomery Coun-
ties; another from Hartford, Balti-
more, Howard or Carroll Counties;
third from Prince Georges, St.
Mary's, Anne Arundel, Charles or
Calvert; and a fourth from the East
ern Shore.
Since the Bill calls for constitu-
tional amendment at next years
election. AS the terms of several
Judges of the Court of Appeals soon
would expire, the Governor pointed
out that this new bill comes at a
most opportune time.
The reorganization of the Appeals
Court, the Governor feels, would be
the final step in the lasting improve
ment of the Maryland Judicial Sys-
tenn, carried out under his regime.
The other improvements already
made include Trial Magistrate re-
forms; and changes in the Traffic
Court and Peoples Court of Balti-
more City.

JOBS FOR YOUTH

Out of Dallas, Texas, comes a
worthwhile idea that deserves ma
tional emulation. The manager of a
Dallas chain store read an article
in Readers Digest which dealt
with survey indicating that three
out of four high school seniors did
not plan to- go to college, but ex-
pected instead to look for jobs. He
suggested to other chain store man.
ayers that each of them spend an
hour a week talking with boys and
girls in search of work.
The managers agreed Local school
authorities eagerly cooperated. A
hundred Dallas young people called
on the chain store managers the
first week, and hundreds more have
followed. Parents and teachers have
soundly praised this forward-look-
ing program.
Students are able to obtain infor-
nation and advice concerning the
kind of merchandising job in which
each was most interested.

PLACE FOR WILDLIFE

"What is wildlife's share in the
use of the land?" Secretary of Ag-
reculture Wickard asked in recent
address. "Once upon a time, he
answered, "game had the use of all
the land in this country. The story
of how it came to be crowded out,
to be pushed around, is familiar.
Much of that was necessary, and
was compensated by the benefits of
uses. On other hand, much of it
was unnecessarily destructive to
wildlife and it's habitat And so we
have come to the place--in fact we
have long been there--where wildlife
must be definitely provided for in
the orderly allotment of the use of
our land.
I'm way, wish this were not
so. / wish that the artificialities,
which go with planning it's habitat,
with stocking and restocking areas
with various forms of game, and
with regulations, were not neces-
sary. On the other hand, there is a
satisfaction in planning and pro-
grams that will definitely assure
wildlife of its place when tn uses
of land are allotted"

AS BIG AS 40 PANAMAs

Terracing is the farmers major
earth moving job, according to J.
T. McAllister of the Soil Conserva-
ton Service. If farmers did all the
terracing needed on farms in the
United States, it has been estimated
that it would call for moving as
much earth as in the digging of 40
Panama Canals, he points out. In,
dividual jobs of terracing are not
spectacular compared with other
great engineering works, but the
total of the work that needs doing
is impressive. In spite of all the
terracing that has been done, farm
ers can hardly consider that they
have made more than beginning,
says McAllister.

MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVERS LAW

A Maryland legislative measure
raising the minimum age limit of
motor vehicle drivers from 16 to Is
years is opposed by the Keystone
Automobile Club on the ground
that accident figures do not bear out
the contention that the 16 and II
year-olds are more dangerous than
older drivers.
The Club recommends that, in
stead of barring youngsters be-
tween the ages of 16 and Is, such
licenses be granted when applica-
ton is accompanied by the written
consent of the parents or guardians.
This, 1t is pointed out, would pre-
vent licenses being issued without
the knowledge of parents.
The Legislative Committee of the
Club has made public official
figures showing that the early age
group is not alarmingly involved in
accidents, either in the State or
Baltimore City.
"In 194O", says the report, "497
fatal accidents occurred in Maryland
involving 5S7 drivers. Fifty-five
drivers were under the age of 20.
(There apparently is no official
breakdown showing those between
the ages of 16 and 49, But the
greatest number in any single age
group was 242, involving drivers
between 20 and 29 years of age. The
records of other group were: 1876
between 3O-39; IS between 40-49;
So between 50-64; 10 over ga.
Twenty-eight drivers were involved
in fatalities not listed by age in the
records"
With respect to Baltimore City,
Sc per cent of accidents is charged
against drivers between 16 and 10,
but 76 percent is chalked up against
drivers in the age group 20-49.
From the figures" continues the
report, lit would not seem that acct
dents involving drivers under 20
years of age presents formidable
factor in our safety situation. On the
other hand, the 1929 group, which
would not be reached by the bill,
seems to constitute much more
serious problem.

LAUNDERING coRDuRoYs

In testing a dozen cotton cordu-
roy fabrics suitable for boys cloth
ing, the Bureau of Home Economics
found that none of the fabrics faded
when Numbered with neutral soap,
that only five of the twelve were
colorfast in a solution of soap and
soda, and that nearly all faded bad
ly if bleaching compound was
used in the water.
Ironing the washed corduroys was
not the best way of finishing the
job. The coruroys looked best after
being brushed with a stiff brush
along the direction of the ribs
while still slightly damp.

No Arristice!

YOU can fool some of the people
= some of the time, some Of the
people all of the time, but you can't
fool all of the people even for
minute.
The liquor traffic seems to forget
that. Since it fooled enough of the
people-by blaming its lawlessness
and youths wildness on prohibition
to get repeal in 1888 it has
thought that everything was 'okie-
doke."
At least once a year though the
liquor traffic gets rude awakening
during the convention of National
w. c. T. U. when it has to realize
that here are 500, 1000 women, plus
thousands of sympathetic non-mem-
bers, who not only never were fooled
about liquor but are out to do some
thing about it.
The 1910 convention marked the
sixty-sixth year that this organiza-
ton of mother-hearted women has
fought for the American home and
against anything that harms the
home. Sixty-six years is long time
and builds an experienced outlook.
On the basis of those years of ex-
perience and Of close study of man.
kinds history, the w. c. T. U. again
reaffirmed its belief (and the ex-
pressed belief of nearly every Prot
estant church) that there are only
two ways to solve the liquor prob.
lem: BY abstinence for the individ-
ual and by prohibition for the ma
ton.
Licensing systems, government
control, self-policing by the liquor
industry-the w. c. T. U. will listen
courteously to all such suggestions,
then point to history which has tried
them all and found that they didn't
work. Then they probably will point
to such things as the youth-patron-
lied taverns of today, to homes
wrecked by drinking mothers or IA
theirs, to the highway death toll, to
the alliances Of liquor and politi-
clans, and ask If you think such
stop-gap systems are working now.
Foremost throughout the conven-
ton sessions, which heard encourag-
ing reports that the pendulum of
public opinion has swung from re-
peals favorable-to-liquor point to a
critical-of-liquor point and heard Of
temperance gains throughout the ma
ton, were reports on the three So
cial effects Of repeal which the w. c.
T. U. believes have brought this
new upsurge of temperance senti-
ment.
These are: Drinking drivers,
drinking women, and drinking youth.
Alongside them and equally consid-
cred were the human and economic
costs of liquor, the return of the
saloon in disguise, and politics pol
luted by liquor and gambling hook
ups.
Not having signed an armistice
after the shattering blow of repeal.
the temperance forces have no
thought of stopping now. The w. c.
T. U. convention served notice that
it was still on the trail of the liquor
barons, armed with its twin weapons
of education and legislation.
