Safety Commission
Takes Steps To
Curb ViOlatOrs
Failure To Appear On
Summons Now Likely To
Bring Suspension Or RevO-
cation of License

Violators of motor vehicle reg.
ulations who fail to answer sum-
mons will face suspension or revo-
cation of their license, under plan
adopted by the Enforcement Com
nlittee of Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor's Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission.
Hereafter, when a violator does
not appear on the day set for the
hearing, second summons will be
sent by registered mail, and then
If he still disregards the summons,
all papers in the case, including
the receipt for the registered sum-
mons, will be mailed to the Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles, who
will require the vioIator to appear
and show cause why his license
should not be suspended or revok-
ed.
This new procedure is just an
other step by the Maryland Traffic
Safety Commission towards insur-
ing improved policing on the
Maryland roads, in the interest Of
greater safety.
In the past quite frequently vio-
lators have evaded summons and,
while according to law, the sheriff
to whom the warrant is sent must
apprehend such violators and ply
sically produce them before the
Magistrate who issued this war;
rant, this seldom is done in auto
mobile cases.
Under this new procedure, eth
er the violator will appear in
Court, or he will be prohibited
from driving until such time as he
stands trial.

On Indian Music And Lore

The Music Lovers Club of Mont

sic. The program opened with an
explanatory talk on the Music of

can Indian by Mrs. Blandy who
compared the two distinct types of
musical composition as she an
nounced the numbers.
First, there was a group of AM

Water" = Mr.. George Allnutt,
"The White Dawn Is Stealing" =
Mrs. Rose Dawson, "Far Off l
Hear A Lovers Flute"-Miss Liza
Choate, and "The Moon Drips
Low" by Mr.. Harry Beall.
The second group, the Music of
India, opened with an original two
piano arrangement of the Indian
Love Lyrics of Amy Woodforde-
Finden, played by Mrs. Marshall
Mayes and Mrs. Harry E. Seifert.
This included the familiar melo-
dies, "Less Than The Dust" "Pale
Hands" and "The Temple Bells" +"
Mrs. Harold c. Smith completed
the Finden group with a violin
solo-"Till 1 Wake" This was fol-
lowed by two songs-"In A Brah-
min Garden" - Rev. Raymond
Black and "The Song Of Radhan
by Mrs. Robert LEOPOLD.
The final number was an all ori
ginal American Indian Song and
Dance in Indian costume; the
words were written by Mrs. Mayes
and the music was composed by
Mrs. Seifert; others taking part in
the dance were: Mrs. Henry Be
craft, Mrs. Robert Bilhimer, Mrs.
Robert Leopold, Mrs. Francis Lin
coin, Mrs. Harold Smith and Mrs.
Maurice Way.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram many familiar songs were
informally sung accompanied by
the two pianos. Also at this time,
the original song, "Hail To Music
written by Mrs. Mayes and Mrs.
Seifert was presented to the club.
This song was officially adopted as
the club song by the Music Lovers.

Gayda Warns America
To Appease Axis Promptly
BY The Associated Press.

BY tbt Associated Press
ROME, April l7.-Virginio Gayda
authoritative Fascist journalist, to.
day advised the United States tc
appease the axis before England goe,
down to what he described as more
than certain" defeat.
If America persists in her present
course in aiding England, the editor
wrote in II Giornale d'Italia, her
action may be guilty evidence of q
hostile policy which. In the end, will
turn back upon the country"
Terming American aid to Britain
an "elephantine interventionist ma
chine" Gayda said there now was
no hope that such assistance would
prove effective.
1T is obvious" he said, that the
more the United States confines it
self to history as the deliberate ac-
complice of England and as the de-
clared enemy Of the axis powers and
the new European order, the more
she is cutting with her own hands
the bridges by which she is connected
with Europe and Africa and the
more she Is condemning herself to
that political and economic isolation
which she fears as a most tremen-
dous national disaster"

Rumors Fly on Name

II was around 1888 that
August Belmont" first landed
in New York from Germany.
Young. handsome in a forid
way and speaking English with
a heavy Germanic accent. he
made his presence felt from the
beginning.
He came to these shores to
represent, in a minor capacity,
the fabulously opulent Roth
SchildS, then the worlds best
known and most powerful |
bankers. and he traded on the
Rothschild connection to the
limit.
Those who took an instant
dislike TO the oftcious young
German circulated stories TO the
effect that his name wasn't
"Belmont"-that he had changed
it from "Schoenburg" while
crossing the Atlantic TO these
fertile shores. That story of
name-changing has survive d
three generations Of Belmonts.
Not one member of the family
has denied it-and no one has
come forward to prove that the
first August Belmont was really
born Belmont"

Money-Wizard

No one, however, can raise any
question regarding the ability
of that first August Belmont
TO work financial miracles. In
fact. he soon established himself
as a money-wiZard and even the
European Rothschilds were so
impressed they made him their
principal representative in this
country.
The pre-Civil War days Of
fered untold opportunities to
August Belmont. He noted how
John Jacob Aston and Cornelius
Vanderbilt had amassed their
fortunes by a combined interest
in industry and the financial
market and. while still young
man. had. in divers ways. man
aged to establish a stable for
tune for himself. So stable
he was able to more or less drop
his connection with the Roth
schilds and go it alone.
In the beginning the restricted
society of that day completely
ignored August Belmont.

with his "eXhibitionism," MIR.
Belmont built the first private

as in all things. he brought
pressure - what PRESSURE 49, to

II was at their Fifth avenue
house that the August Bclmonts

And that reception marked the
