HITCH-HIKINC BY
STUDENTS IS NOW
VERY SERIOUS
Motorists Incur Serious RespOn-
sibility When Acceding To
Plea OF Thumb Jerkers

Student hitch-hiking" is roundly
criticized by safety officials of the
Keystone Automobile Club, who say
it has become serious problem, not
only in this State but in many other
sections of the country. Authorities
are disturbed over the tendency of
students, usually of high school age,
to discard the safety lessons of the
class room and subject themselves to
injury begging rides on the highway.
1.-THE purpose of safety education
in the Schools" said Edward P. Cur
ran, Safety Director of the Club, sis
to produce a better class of drivers
and pedestrians. It is disheartening,
therefore, to note that boys of high
school age forget their training and,
aside from making a nuisance of
themselves, actually endanger their
lives by standing in traffic lanes wig
Cling their thumbs in appeal for a
hop, or actually jumping on running
boards or bumpers when cars are
halted in traffic.
at is not pretty picture. There
is no dignity in begging, whether for
a ride or for aims. Self-respect alone
should decide students against the
practice, although it is recognized the

Both floors of the immense build

10000 square feet-will be used for
this years double show.
"The public also will have an op-
portunity to see what industry itself
is doing for Defense" said Mr.. Raine.
Industrial plants in the Maryland
area have engaged space and will
demonstrate just how they are con-
tributing to the defense set-up.
"While the motor car display will
be bit more compact this year, be-
cause of space requirements by the

will embody many Improvements and

WAR INFLUENCE?

Some say II n war influence, 9TH
ers say II is the result OF general
unrest, rising wages and a general
let-down, but regardless OF the cause,
the fact about crime statistics is
that murder and vice increased in
the United States during the first
half OF 1941, while there was fall
ing rate in robberies and burglaries.
The crime reports bulletin OF the
Department OF Justice reveals that
murders increased IS per cent dur
ing the first half OF l94l, as COM
pared with the same period Of 1870,
rape cases increased 36 per cent,
auto thefts 3 per cent aggravated
assault IS per cent and negligent
manslsughter 1.3 per cent. Crime de-
creases included 9 per cent de
crease in robbery, SIS per cent in
burglary and IL per cent In lar
ceny.
A sharply rising rate OF arrest u

ment. Out Of 1920 arrests exam

were women. This compares rather
unfavorably with 24.362 female ar
rests for the corresponding 1910
period. Largest increases in ar
rests of women were reported in
driving while intoxicated, 1873 per
cent; for drunkenness, 1874 per cent
and disorderly conduct, 2s.3 per
cent. Criminal homicide. assault
and vagrancy also showed increases.
