The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for divorce a vim
culo matrimonii by the plaintiff,
Myrtle K. Coulbourne, from the de-
PENDANT, George T. Coulbourne.
The bill recites that the parties
were married on June 16, 1884; that
though the conduct of the plaintiff
has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, the defendant
has, without any just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted the plaintiff,
and has declared his intention to
live with her no longer, and that such
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptetdly for more than three years,
and is deliberate and final and the
separation of the parties beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconcilia-
ton; that the plaintiff has been a
resident of Worcester County, Mary
land, for more than two years past,
while the defendant is a nonresident
of this County and State, residing in
Sussex County, Delaware; and that
there are no children as issue of said
marriage.
It is, thereupon, ordered by the
Circuit Court for Worcester County,
Maryland, in Equity, this 18th day
of January, 1941, that the plaintiff,
Myrtle K. Coulbuorne, by causing a
copy of this order be inserted in some
weekly newspaper published in Wor-
cester County, Maryland, once in
each of four successive weeks before
the 18th day of February, 1871, give
notice to the said absent defendant,
George T. Coulbourne, of the object
and substance of this bill, warning
him to be and appear in this court, in
person or by solicitor, on or before
the 4th day of March, 1871, to show
cause, if any he has, why a decree
ought not to be passed as prayed.

AUTOMOBILES
CAUSE OF MANY
FATALITIES
Sixty-Six Lives Claimed By
Traffic Accidents On The
Maryland Highways

Traffic accidents claimed sixty-six
lives on the streets and highways of
Maryland during the last month of
1910. This was the highest Deem
Der death rate in four years, and 43
40 per cent increase over Deem
Der, 1889.
Sixteen of the December deaths &C.
Cured in Baltimore City and fifty
occurred in the Counties. Calvert
Dorchester, Kent and Talbot Coun-
ties did not have a fatality during
the month of December and Caroline,
Carroll, st. Mary's and Worcester
Counties reported only fatality each.
Baltimore County with seven fatal
tiles was high, followed by Cecil
County with six and Prince Georges
County with five.
Pedestrian accidents continued to
lead all other types for severity. Thir-
teen of the sixteen persons killed in
Baltimore City or 1913 per cent were
pedestrians; and twenty-eight of the
fifty killed in the Counties, or Sc
per cent, were pedestrians. The pc
destrian apparently has not learned
to respect the limitations of the driv-
ers and that the automobile is a
lethal instrument.
Every effort has been put forth
during the past year by the Mary
land Traffic Safety Committee, the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, the
State Roads Commission, the Mary
land State Police, the Baltimore City
Police, and various State, County,
Local, and Civic organizations to curb
the increasing accident rate. But,
in spite of their activities in all fields
of accident prevention, this tremen-
dous increase has been experienced.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in traffic during the past
year which will continue during the
coming year. This increase has been
caused by the expansion of industry
due to the vast national defense pro-
gram. The Maryland Traffic SAT-
ETY. Committee and other State, Mu-
nicipal, and Civic organizations urge
all motorists and pedestrians to ex-
ercise extreme caution in an effort
to make possible a reduction in ia
talities and all accidents, rather than
the continued increase which has
been experienced during the past two
years, and help place Maryland at
the top of the list of safety conscious
states during the coming year in
stead of the far down the list posi-
ton it now holds.
The summary shows one death and
10 injuries resulting from auto acct
dents in Worcester County, during
1910. In the State there were GAL
fatalities and 23O injuries.
