Safe Holiday Driving
Urged in Maryland
BY the Associated Press.

by Int Associated fTeSS.
BALTIMORE. Dec. rs. - The
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee,
reporting 81 lives were lost in high
way accidents in November, cau-
toned motorists yesterday to use
extreme care over the holidays.
Holiday parties are in order" the
committee said, but remember two
things: the drinking driver and pc
destrian get into trouble most fire.

Christmas present"
The November toll of 62 lives was
1875 per cent reduction from No
vember of 1910, the committee said,
but the GIT injuries represented a
slight increase.
Through November, the total
deaths from traffic accidents in the
State was 542, an increase of 13 per
cent over the similar period of last
year.
Seven counties-Calvert, Caroline,
Garrett, Kent, Queen Anne, Tai
bot and ST. Marys-had no fatali-
ties last month.
Deaths by counties included
Charles, Frederick, and Montgomery,

Writer Says Venus
Might Have Been
Star Of Bethlehem
Planet Will Be Seen
During Christmas Week
In Southwest
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

by HOWAhD w. bLAkESLEE,
Wide World News
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Venus, the
planet you see in the southwest this
Christmas week, may have been the
famed star of Bethlehem.
The reasons for this possibility
are given in the astronomical pub
ication, Sky and Telescope, by Jesse
A. Fitzpatrick.
Astronomical records show, first,
that in the year of Christ's birth
Venus was particularly brilliant at
the time when He is said to have
been laid in the manger. Venus was
brighter then than this year, due to
q more favorable position in her
orbit with respect to earth.
Casts Wake on Water.
Second, the Venus seen from the
United States never compares with
the brilliance of this same star in
the latitude of Galilee
There she is so brilliant that her
light casts wake on the water, the
same as the moon. Even when the
moon is up, Venus casts a wake and
Mr.. Fitzgerald says it is rare treat
to see these two celestial bodies in
the same part of the sky casting
parallel wakes over the ocean.
Other explanations of the star
which the Magi followed to find
Christ are comet and a nova. If
it was comet, then that comet has
not since reappeared, for comets
comings can be traced both into the
future and into the past if they
appear more than once.
Nova Appears Only Once.
A nova is literally a new star,
caused by an explosion of gases big
enough to engulf the entire solar
system. The explosions occur in old
stars and sometimes in stars too
faint to be seen normally with the
naked eye. A nova appears only
once, hence there would. be no

astronomical record, other than the
tale of the wise men.
A conjunction of two or more
planets-that is, apparent overlap
ping in the sky of these stars-is an
other explanation. But none Of
these star gatherings came nearer
than six years to the date of Christ's
birth.

OF Insecticide For Federal Bureau

ment, Maxwell said, but the unit is
on constant guard to prevent manu-
facturers from taking advantage of
the public.
1t is part of Maxwell's duties to
check on frauds and he covers sew
eral states in his operations. Re-
ports of labelling violations are
checked carefully.
Materials manufactured and dis
tributed within the same state do not
come under the federal departments

buying, he suggested.
Doubts as to any claims made by
disinfectant manufacturers should be
reported to the county farm agent,
Maxwell said. This information will
be relayed to the proper authorities.
