their nephew, LIST Lieut.. Robert P.
Teeple, who returned on the Grips

Lit. Teeple, a pilot of Fighter

not mistreated, although he did not
receive the care conducive to quick
recovery. After over 10 months in
bed, he was happy to be up in
wheelchair and looked forward to be-
ing near his family in Florida. In all
this time he had never received any
letters from the U. S. He will receive
further surgery and treatment in a

Traffic Acct
dents During
January

During the month of January there
weere 800 traffic accidents reported
in Maryland with 80 deaths and Ala
persons injured. Baltimore City re-
porting 629 accidents with deaths
and 800 persons injured, and the
Counties, 291 accidents with %
deaths and 1853 persons injured. The
counties experienced 1870 increase
in fatalities as compared to January,
1914, but Baltimore City absorbed
the increase with 500 decrease.
The total of 80 fatalities for the state
during the month was the SAINT as
January year ago.
Eight of the twenty-three counties
Caroline Dorchester Garrett i,
Howard, Kent, Queen Anne, Somer-
set and Washington-exerie a
fatality free month, while Garrett
and Kent counties had perfect rec
ord-no deaths, no injuries, no acct
dents.
Pedestrian accidents, as usual, con-
tinue to lead all other types for Sc
verify, with II fatalities, or 81 20, of
the total persons killed. The pedes-
trian continues to be one of the ma
jor traffic safety problems, with no
relief in sight. Traffic laws and ordi-
nances have been enacted, traffic con-
troll devices have been installed, and
many publicity and educational cam
paigns have been conducted, all for
the benefit of the pedestrian. But,
due to the efforts all being one sided,
with the pedestrian blissfully ignor-
ing everything that is being done for
him, and continuing day after day to
defy the laws of inertia, these efforts
expended in his behalf have not been
effective.
Other accidents responsible for ia
talities in order of their severity
were-motor vehicle with motor We
hicle, 27%; motor vehicle with fix
ed objects, 16 20; and, the prime fac
tor in all of the accidents was excess
sive speeds. This does not mean so,
20 or 80 miles per hour, but speeds
too fast for existing conditions, or
trying to save a second at an inter-
section to spend month in the hos
pital.
Governor O'Conor, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission, and other
agencies cooperating in Traffic Safe
ty take this opportunity in appealing
to the public using the streets and
highways of Maryland to observe
WAR TIME REGULATIONS, con-
corning SPEEDS, USAGE, AND

les in one-ton lots may pay dealers
rs cents in addition to the cost OF
the coal, M. Shakman Katz, District

der temporary OPA order designed

Curfew Plan
No Reform Bid
Nav Not Be Lifted Until
End Of The War
In Europe

The midnight curfew for entertain
ment spots which became effective on
Monday probably will not be lifted
until the war in Europe is over.
1t can be stated unequivocally,
however, that it is not being imposed
as a reform move, although it may
produce some collateral benefits in
that direction.
For example, it is the feeling OF
those responsible for the order that
enforcement is almost sure to cause
some reduction of absentee m
among war workers; absenteeism Of
ten attributable to over-indulgence
and late hours in night refreshment
centers.
The immediate and compelling rea-
son for the order is the genuine con-
Germ of James F. Byrnes, director OF
War Mobilization. over the present
inadequate coal supply and the threat
of even more serious shortage in the
future.
To bad weather, interrupted trans
portation and the shortage OF miners
which have contributed to impair the
supply up to this point may now be
added the possibility of miners
strike when the present union con-
tracts expire Thursday, March L. This
year the usual disputing between the
miners and the mine operators over
wages is not the only obstacle to
prompt agreement on new contracts.
John L. Lewis, leader of the Uni
ted Mine Workers, takes the position
that his union miners may not work
without a contract and has shown a
disposition to refuse to sign any con-
tract until the Supreme Court has
ruled on the portal-to-portal case
now pending.
Argument of the case will not be
undertaken for another week and
normally the court takes several
weeks to consider its decision after
the arguments have been made.
Mr.. Byrnes does not anticipate
that tremendous quantities, of coal
are going to be saved bysclosing up
night centers of amusement, but he
is armed with statistics to show that
relatively minor changes often bring
important results.
