whining Post in Marylssa

The customary punishmens Of
whipping as a penalty for crime,
part of the common law Of England,
was adopted by Maryland in its first
constitution in 1776 and continued
through all Successive constitutions
of the state down to the consultation
of 1864, and then it was removed
from the statute books, not by direct
appeal, but by force of the Consti-
tutional Amendment abolNhing
slavery.
The only crime for which the Rhip-
ping post can be applied in Mary
land now is for brutal assault on
wife, under the Act of 1882, chapter
100, codified in 1889 code, section
ii, article q.

Steps Reversible

Researchers showed recently that
some of the steps in the breakdown
Of food proteins and the rebuilding
OF their parts into body proteins are
reversible-that in some stages the
process will work both ways. Pa
pain, the active substance of the
papaya fruit, is an organic COM
pound which helps the digestive
system to break down meats and
other proteins preparatory to the
rebuilding process. The experiments
Of DR.. Max Bergman and associ-
ates Of the Rockefeller Foundation
demonstrated that papain also can
have something to do with the re-
building as well as with the break
down.

Nothing Mt North Pole

Because Admiral Byrd found land
at the South pole, people assume
that there is also land at the North
pole. But this is not the case Elk
plorers have found that there's no
land at the North pole; that thlre is
nothing but water and ice, al al
sea level. AS previously pointed out,
our compasses do not point 70 the
North pole, and the only pole. there
is q fagpole. You can go onl one
direction from the North pole and
that is south. There is no e. st OF
west. Look at any world 81 be u
you doubt it. -

Highway Patrol
Will Check On
Drivers License

Aware of the fact that poten-
tial saboteurs have free access to
the use of North Carolina high
ways, Commissioner of Motor We
hicles, T. Boddie Ward, today or
dered a rigorous check on drivers
licenses throughout the State. he
further advised especial care by
license examiners in the issuance
of license.
Mr.. Ward also stated that the
courts of the State could greatly
aid this program by entering all
convictions of Motor Vehicle trat-
fic violations on the back OF the
drivers license. While section
Is (a) of the License Act requires
this, it is not being done in many
cases. If this provision OF the
law is complied with by the
courts, it will be invaluable to the
patrolman in many ways in es-
tablishing the identity OF drivers.
It will also aid the Safety Dlvl-
sion in its study of drivers who
are habitual violators, and furth-
err the program of safer driving.

secretary, today urged every
community in this county to form
"share-ride clubs" and local farm
and civilian defense leaders JOIN

ride clubs is already underway
in cities and the need for form
ing such clubs in rural communl-
ties was stressed.
"Most of the states population
is still in rural areas and 1t Is
very important that the share
ride movement be extended into
these sections" Mr.. Burch said.
"There is nothing complicated
about forming a share-ride' club
1T is simply the formulating OF
good neighborliness and your
county is composed of good neigh
bors," he said.
