FOG sHROUDED HIGHWAYS

Danger to motorists and pedes-
TRANS on fog-shrouded highways is
the Subject of a safety bulletin is
sued by the Keystone Automobile
Club.
Both drivers and walkers are urg-
ed to be on guard against the fog
perils, the Club asserting that only
the utmost care will prevent deaths
and injuries.
Pedestrians, said Edward p.
Curran, Safety Director of the Club,
should be extremely cautious when
walking along highways obscured
by fog, because their presence can
be noted by drivers only under the
most exceptional circumstances.
"Those afoot can see the lights of
approaching cars and should govern
their actions accordingly. They
should realize that the lights are
of little value to motorists in dis
corning objects on the highway. In
fact the principal value of lights in
time of fog is to warn of vehicles
approach.
Motorists should always drive
slowly under adverse weather con-
ditions There are those who be-
lieve their familiarity with highways
over which they travel frequently
gives them the right to travel fast in
fog. Drivers in this class fail to take
into account the possibility of dis
abled cars being parked along the
highway. Another great danger is
the absence of tail-lights ON moving
vehicles, and the confusion, leading
to erratic driving, of operators un-
accustomed to the road.
DRIVERS of horse-drawn vehicles
should not, under any circumstances,
venture on fog-bound roads without
lights on their vehicles.

TREASURER OF TUBERCULOSIS
ASSOCIATION PASSES AWAY

Henry F. Baker, for many years
Treasurer of the Maryland Tubercu-
loiss Association, as well as prom
inent leader in many civic and pa
triotic organizations, died last week
after an illness of two weeks at his
home in Baltimore. He was 80 years
old.
In addition to his duties as Treas
urer of the tuberculosis Associa-
ton, he had been for more than ten
years General Chairman of the Or
ganization's Christmas Seal Sale
throughout the State and local Seal
Sale Chairman for Baltimore City.
Mr.. Baker was born in Somerset
County, New Jersey, on March 20,
1859. He became a chemist after
graduating in pharmacy and is an
alumnus of the Pratt Institute of
Technology. After several years of
business in New York and New Jer-
sey, he came to Baltimore in 1902
as president of the Thomson Chemi-
cal Works with whom he remained
until 1913 when he became mem
Der of the firm of Robert Garrett
and Sons.
During his life, Mr.. Baker served
as president of the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution and, in the same
capacity, with the Baltimore Asso-
citation of Commerce and the Balti-
more Drug Exchange.
AS a student of political science,
he was naturally interested in all
phases of government and served in
1922 as chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. The fol-
lowing year he was recommended
by the committee as candidate for
Governor but refused to seek poll
teal Office.
Three days before his death, the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
announced that he had once more
consented to be general chairman of
the Christmas Seal Sale. Due to the
fact that the plans for the annual
sale are so far advanced, it is
doubtful whether another general
chairman will be appointed for this
year.

ANNUAL INSPECTION OF MOTOR
VEHICLES

"Only small percentage of mo-
florists have responded to the call for
the annual inspection of motor We
hicles, which is compulsory by law,
said w. Lee Elgin today.
''This highway safety campaign
started on November first, and will
continue until December 18th. There
are approximately $4,000 cars and
trucks to be checked for faulty
equipment, such as steering, tires,
Windshield wiper, discolored or
broken windshields, king bolts,
headlights, taillights, and brakes.
81 have received an Endorsement
from the Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission urging a more rigid
check for faulty parts on motor We

increase in accidents. l have asked
all of the 1885 inspection stations

with us in riding the highways un-
safe cars.

Grated inspection stations as does
the State of New Jersey and the Dis
trict of Columbia. During the past
several months, there has been a
large increase in registrations in
Maryland, due to the defense work
being carried on here. In a great
number Of cases, old cars that have
been ruled off the highways Of our
neighbcring States are being sold
here for transportation of workers.
These vehicles are not safe and
should be junked, but until we have
State operated stations, it will be a
problem to completely cope with
this serious situation. Every used
car sold here should be given a SAT-
ETY. test before being turned over to
a new owner, and this would be done
if our stations were State operated.

NEWS IN THE WORLD OF
RELIGION
By W. W. Reid


The one hundred and fiftieth an
niversary of the birth of Lowell Ma
son, Americas first public school
music teacher, and equally distin-
guished as the composer of hundreds
of hymn tunes still used throughout
the world and by every Christian
denomination, will be observed on
January 8, 1912. Special Observance
es in public schools are being fos-
tered by the Music Educators Ma
tional Conference and its affiliated
organizations In almost every state;
and special programs and services
in churches throughout the United
States are being planned under the
leadership of the Hymn Society Of
America. Observances will include
service and placing Of plaque at
the grave of DR.. Mason in the Rose
dale Cemetery, East Orange, N. j.,
and at the nearby church where he
was organist for many years; and a
nationwide dinner on the same eve
ming in New York City.
According to the Rev. G. X. King,
missionary of the United Church
of Canada. serving in Honan Pro-
vince, China, a number of Chinese
Christians have organized Gospel

sixty shareholders are all Christians,
and each share is worth 500. The
shares are non-profit-bearing, and
the proceeds are all used for the

there is no Sunday labor, and work.
men are given more generous treat
ment than are men in similar work
anywhere else in Honan. They are
planning to impress scripture texts
upon some of the earthenware they
manufacture.
1t is estimated that there are
about $500 Christian missionaries
of all nationalities serving in China
today in all forms of service--educa-
tional, evangelistic, and medical
chiefly. In pre-war days there were
about 1890 missionaries in service.
The calling home of many European
nationals and the evacuation of
women from some sections account
for the decrease in totals. In free"

missionaries today than heretofore
because of their removal from "oc-

The Church of England and the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States--the latter being the
daughter of the former--are plan
ming for wide and closer coopera-
ton not only during the period of
the war but in the postwar years.
Official committees have been named
by both churches to formulate and
carry out this cooperation. For the
period of the war it will probably
mean a continuance of American
support of Britain missions in var

PAYMENTS RATES IN CONSER-
WALTON PROGRAM ANNOUNC-
ED BY u s. ID. A.

Rates of payment for planting
within special crop allotments under
the 1912 program of the AAA were
announced recently by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The rates
and other provisions of the program
are directed at greater conserva-
ton achievements on individual
farms and at helping farmers at
tain record production of farm pro-
ducts needed under the farm defense
program.
AS in former years, farmers may
earn two types of payments under
the 1912 program. One type is for
planting within special allotments
such soil-depleting crops las corn,
wheat, cotton, tobacco, rice, pota-
toes, and peanuts. The other is car
rying out soil-building practices
Rates for the latter type of payments
were announced last July and remain
the same as designated on that date
except that the 70-cent per acre rate
used as a basis for computing the
allowance will apply generally rather
than only in certain areas.
The total amount of funds budget
ed in 1912 for special crop allotment
rates is about the same as in 1871.
Payment rates except for wheat, are
somewhat lower than in 1941. Due
principally to a substantial decrease
in the 1912 wheat acreage allot-
ment, the wheat payment rate for
1912 will be 2.5 cents per bushel
higher than in 1941. 1t will be 1915
cents, compared with cents.
AS in former years, rates are sub
ject to a 10 percent revision UP Or
down, depending upon the degree to
which farmers participate in the
program.
In lieu of total soil-depleting al
lotments established under past pro-
grams, the 1912 program provides
that specified percentage of crop
land be devoted to soil-building and
soil-conserving uses.

MILK PRICE HEARING
Producers Are Impatient With
Costly Delaying Tactics

VS~sy ASS 0A8 AseOsASD
Phialda, Pa, November 12---The
hearing being held here by the Dairy
Division Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Pennsylvania Milk Control Commits
sion reconvened Monday, after an
11-day recess. The cost of producing
milk by the farmers having increas-
ed SO sharply above the amount the
farmers received, this hearing was
requested by Interstate Milk Pro-
ducers' Cooperative, in order "a to
obtain a higher price for producers
supplying the Philada. market with
milk; (2) to obtain uniform prices
for all producers, according to mile
zones, regardless of the state where
they live; and ca to get uniform
and strict enforcement of the prices
and regulations established.
The reconvening of the hearing
was marked with a determined at
tempt by counsel for the Interstate
group to speed up the hearing in
order that producers would have the
benefits of the price order as quickly
as possible. This was in sharp con-
trast with the proceedings during
the first four days, when, because of
what appeared to be lengthy and un-
necessary cross-examination on the
part of the opponents, 565 pages of
written testimony were collected,
much of it apparently of very little
value in building record.
Interstate is represented at this
hearing by A. Evans Kephart, coun-
sci and John w. Kephart, Jr., and
Mrs. Mary Conner Myers, associate
counsel. Among the lawyers repre-
senting Philada. dealers are three
former Deputy Attorney Generals,
Bernard Segal, Willis Daniels and
Harry Polikoff, each of whom served
as counsel for the Pennsylvania Milk
Control Commission. They are In ad-
dition at least eight other lawy-
ers representing dealers or who,
through their stand on certain mat
tiers, appear to be in opposition to
producers supplying Philada. get
ting the benefits of a Federal mar
keting order.
Interstate, in it's request, has
asked that Glass l price of 1910
be established for percent milk,
f. o. b. the Philada. market. This is
$40 over the present price. 1t pro-
poses that Glass III milk be based
upon its competitive value as deter
mined through prices paid by milk
|condensaries, and which would be
about $40 to $50 per hundred lbs.
more than the present price. 1t also
asks that the price of Glass Ill milk
be increased, and that this class be
limited strictly to milk which is
made into butter by the milk deal
ers.
|. Interstate reports that producer
interest in the outcome of the hear
ing is mounting daily and that each
delay has strengthened the determ-
nation of producers to obtain this
order. An unanswered question in
the minds of many farmers is just
why dealers are fighting SO siren
uously against Federal milk mar
keting order.
