PLANS FOR
SCHOOL RADIO
PROGRAMS

Plans are being advanced steadily
made known, for establishment by
the Public School System of the State
of a system of FIN radio transmission
through which additional broadcasts
will be made, not only to the child
rem of the schools but probably also
in connection with the expansion of
adult education.
The State Department of Educa-
ton has enlisted the services of jan
sky and Bailey, Consulting Radio
Engineers of Washington, through
grant of $4,000 recently made for
the purpose of conducting tests and
surveys to determine the proper To-
cations for the transmitting stations.
Transmitting sites of the State Po-
lice Radio System are being checked
in the present survey, and it is en-
tirely possible that one or more
school transmitters may be located
on sites now used by the State Police.
1t is planned to develop the radio
program by stages, the Governor said
with the possibility that the first sta
tons will be located in the Baltimore
and Washington metropolitan areas,
where a great deal of the States pop
ulation is centered. Present plans
call for most of the programs during
daytime for dissemination to the var
ious schools in any locality. Not only
will programs originating in the
schools be included, but possibly also
network programs of particular in
terest from an educational stand
point. The broadcast will also be used
in connection with adult courses, ac-
cording to present expectations, with
the probability that system of early
evening broadcasts may develop in
this field,

New Financial
RESPONSE
bility Law
Motor Vehicle Commits.
sioner Clarifies Sew
eral Points

ga great many questions have
come into the Department concerning
the new Financial Responsibility
Law, effective on January l, 1916,
states w. Lee Elgin, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles. In order to clarity
several different points, the Commits
sioner has compiled a group of ques-
lions and answers which may serve
to satisfy question in your mind.
1. Q. Should | report an aItomo-
bile accident that | may have outside
CT Marylanu TO The department o.
4.otor e.:icle3 here in Maryland?
IL. no, but you will probably iino
that tine State IN which you had The
accident will have a similar require
ment for reporting accidents and tina,
their state will work reciprocall9
with Maryland and subsequently the
Maryland law will be brought to bear
on you.
2. Q. Do | kave to report an acct
dent where the damage involved is
only to my automobile or to the cal
/ am driving, but is in excess of $50:
A. Such an accident would have to
be reported. However, if the damage
is all to your own property OF to the
automobile you are driving, you viii
not be requested to post any security.
3. Q. If | have an accident which
is not my fault involving $500 dam
age to another car, must | post the
$500 cash with the Commissioner? Ii
| am unable to do so, what happens!
A. You must post your $500 with
TIE Commissioner. If you do not,
your license will be suspended within
so days from the date of the acct
dent.
40. Do you mean that under this
law l could be driving my car at a
normal rate of speed and in a pro
per manner and some other driver
could pass boulevard stop sign, &C
through a red light, be exceeding the
speed limit and be intoxicated, hit
my car and damage his own to the
extentrpef $3.50 and then If cant
post the $3.50, would lose my right
to drive: Isn't this a terrible hard
skip to place on an innocent party?
A. Under such circumstances you
would lose your right to drive unless
the other driver agreed to settle youl
damages, or you post the necessary
security. This law does not give the
Commissioner the right to judge who
is wrong; all he does is require each
party to put up security for the 9th
er's damages. This may seem hard
ship, but you could have very easily
protected yourself by purchasing Liza
bility and Property Insurance. Ii you
elect to operate your automobile
without protection for the public,
then this law will work against you
severely, but you have the choice be-
fore an accident occurs to comply
with the intent of this new statute.
5. @. If my license is suspended
and my automobile tags suspended
would it be all right to sell the car to
my wife and then let her get the tags
in her name and operate the car fol
me?
A. The Maryland Law reads that a
person transferring or selling mo-
tor vehicle after suspension of regis
tration for the purpose of defeating
the intent of the law shall, on con-
viction, be fined not less than 500
nor more than $1,000.

Kane Directs Strand Film
 'FIame of BuFboEy
 coost'' Rated Tops

Certain American cities, among them San Francisco. seem to lend themselves to colorful drania. adaptable equally to stage and screen.
 "Fleme of Barbary Coast which opened yesterday at the strand theater. Is superb example. Re- public studio has rebuilt sections of the old Coast from photographs and the story by Borden Chase recaptures the character of the place with nostalgia charm.
 Choice of the cast was fortunate with John Wayne starring as a carefree Montana cattleman on . visit to the big town for pleasure and adventure, Ann Dvorak plays the title role, her first American part in four years since she left Hollywood to drive an ambulance in London. Joseph Schildkruat ape pears as prince of gamblers who loses in romance and roulette not too easily. An excellent group forms the supporting cast.
 First rate direction by Joseph Kane, who also produced, holds tho story in bounds from opening se- quenee to spectacular finale which presents the fire and earthquake in one of the most thrilling scenes ever filmed.
 Wayne, as the raneher, drifts Into San Francisco to collect for c horse he has sold to Sehildkraut. The price Is $500 which he immediately drops in the gamblers elaborate house of chance. His luck is to meet the girl they call "the Flame and win her approval. From there on 1t becames rivalry between Wayne and Schildkraut ended by the catastrophe. Wayne saves the girls life in highly dramatic rescue and his gamble, of course, Is for keeps.
 Prominent in the supporting cast are William Frawley, Jack Norton, Virginia Grey, Russell Hicks, Paul Fix, Jan Ullrich Mare Lawrence, Al Murphy, Emmett Vogan, Eve Lynn, Hank Bell, Butterfly Mcqueen and other well-known players.
