Virginia, and resided in Elkton, Ce-
Gil County, Maryland, until the Bro

said Defendant abandoned and de-
serted him; that though the conduct
of the Plaintiff towards the Defen-
dant has always been kind, affection
ate and above reproach, the said De-
PENDANT without any just cause or
reason abandoned and deserted him,
and declared her intentions to live
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptedly for more than eighteen
months, and is deliberate and final,
and the separation of the parties is
beyond any reasonable expectation of

ter, named Thelma Bernice Sexton,
born August 80, 1881, and son
named Jack Sexton, born June %,
1894, and the bill further states that

sided in the State of Maryland for

MOTOR VEHICLE TAX REFORM
True Copy-Teste-
Ralph r. Crothers,

recommendations for motor We
hicle tax reform in Maryland are
made in the report of special com
mittee of Maryland Advisory Board
of Keystone Automobile Club made
public by George E. Keneipp, mana
ger of the Club. The committee was
headed by former Senator Emanuel
Gorfine and its conclusions are emu
merated as follows:
1. That the motor vehicle tax
structure in Maryland should be sim
plified.
2. That an effort should be made
to combine the registration fee the
title tax and the motor vehicle per-
sonal property tax into one fee, with
appropriate distribution to cities,
counties and the State. AS an alter
native, it is suggested that fiat reg
istration fee be established in lieu of
the present horsepower tax, together
with fiat personal property tax bas-
ed on three-year average for all
cars assessed in Baltimore City and
the 23 counties.
3. That if it is deemed inadvisable
to make any immediate change in the
present base for registration and per-
sonal property tav on motor vehicles,
the Legislature SHOULD authorize the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to
collect both fees and then make pro-
per distribution to the counties, thus
eliminating the inconvenience and
nuisance of 'iperforating" tax appli-
cations.
4. That the Legislature be request
ed to Cirect the Legislative Council
make thorough study of the motor
vehicle tax structure, with view to
simplif cation and amendment.

operations initiated on June 20,
1913, when the southwest Pa
cific and the south Pacific areas
were united under Gen. Mac
Arthur's command.
The axis Of advance thereby
has been changed from the
north To the west. This relieves
our supply line of the con
slant threat Of flank attack
which has been present since
the beginning OF the Papuan
campaign. This line. previously
so precariously exposed. is now
firmly secured, not only by air
COverage, but by our own front,
to which 1t is perpendicular.
THE operation has been
delicate one and its final sue
cess lays a strategically firm
foundation for the future. TaCti-
cally, it tightens the blockade
of the enemy's remaining bases.
Their supply lines are definitely
and conclusively severed and
only a minimum OF brockade
running. by submarine or indi-
vidual surface craft, is now
possible.

Roosevelt Acts
To Strengthen
Neighbor Policy

WASHINGTON, March / QNS)
President Roosevelt has asked
Congress for power 10 extend the
hand of good will TO all friendly
nations of the entire world by a
sweeping application OF Amer
ica'S Latin-American good-neigh-
Dor policy.
He asked also for legislation 10
create posts of two additional
assistant secretaries OF state,
presumably to help Nelson A.
Rockefeller. co-ordinator of inter-
American affairs, who probably
will be brought into the state
department TO take charge of the
work.
Mr.. Roosevelt requested that
the act approved in August. 1899,
authorizing him to render closer
and more effective the relation
ship between the American re-
publics" be amended TO permit
the development of similar pro-
grams of mutual understanding
and cooperation with other
nations OF the world"
On that act of Congress is built
the entire structure of America S
