chased from an individual in New
York. The transaction was for cash,
the stockings being shipped prepaid

ters, post exchange.
The purchase price was $40 for
three pairs.

THE hosiery was sold to officers

exact price paid by the post ex-
change. Following the holidays when
all original orders were filled, LA
pairs of nylons were left over. These
were placed on sale to military per-
sonnel at $50 am, Friday for the

tions sales in Marine post exchanges
are not subject to price control"
Mr.. Stein admitted there is moth.
ing his agency could do about the
sales. He cited OPA supplementary
order No. 27 of November, 1912. The
order says, in part:
Sales and deliveries of any COM
modify by the War Department OF
the Department of the Navy through
such departments sales stores, in
cluding commissaries and ships
stores and by stores operated az
Army canteens, post exchanges OF

In connection with Navy sales oI
nylons. Comdr. W. G. Bourland, of
flcer in charge of ships stores divi.
sion, Bureau Of Supplies and Ac'
counts of the Navy, disclosed the
Navy has bent over backward to set
that nylons are distributed equitably

vicinities. Maj. Cary pointed out
that the block where the typhus ap-
peared adjoins the railroad yards of
the Union Station terminal and it
is considered likely, infected rats
came here by way of transportation
facilities. Rats are great travellers
and follow the channels of commerce
and travel, he pointed out.
DDT Plays Role.
DR.. Essex said the DDT would be
used in combating ectoparasites
such as fleas on rats. Typhus is
believed to be transmitted to hu-
mans through fleas from infected
rats.
The expert outlined three steps
to be followed in the initial stages
of experiments here.
First, he said, rats caught in the
K street area will be combed for
ectoparasites. Which species are
most prevalent will be determined
Then the entire area will be
busted with DDT by workers
armed with busting guns. After the
DOT has had time to do its work
on the ectoparasites, more rats will
be caught and another index made
to determined effectiveness of the
procedure.
500 Traps to Be Set.
Five hundred steel traps to be used
in the drive arrived yesterday. Maj.
Cary said about a dozen live rats
caught in the area are being studied
for evidence of typhus infection and
results probably would be available
early this week.
Those comforting with DR.. Essex

0'Conor Asks Public
To Judge Progress
lin Review Of I Years
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-Governor
O'Conor, reviewing his seven years
in Office today, called on Mary
landers to judge if the changes in
the administration of public affairs"
during that period have been pro-
gressive, thrifty, and foursquare.
Recalling conditions confronting
him in 1899, Gov. O'Conor said he
found the States budget unbal-
anced, its highways deteriorated
and "a somewhat chaotic condi-
ton in other departments"
Since then, he said. "our State's S
financial situation has been right
ed, the budget kept continually in
balance, while at the same
time we returned to highway con-
struction purposes the millions of
dollars collected each year from
gasoline and motor vehicle reve-
nues, and expanded appropriations
for public schools and other vital
State functions"
Tax Reduction Cited.
fund for postwar construction, and
judiciary reforms also were listed
by the Governor as accomplish
ments of his administration.
In the field of education, Gov
O'Conor said, appropriations have
increased vastly, resulting in i'm
provements not only in the public
schools, but also in training vet
Grams, in vocational rehabilitation
and in radio and visual education
Maryland did its part to meet
the war emergency" he declared
citing the State Defense Council
the National Guard, the State
Guard and the Selective Service
| System as praiseworthy institu-
! tionS
Compensation Increased.
| The new medical care law, the
extension of medical insurance, the
| establishment of chronic disease
hospitals and the abolition of the
coroner's system also were listed a.
accomplishments of his tenure.
He mentioned workmen's compen.
sation increases, extension of unem-
ployment compensation. the auto
mobile financial responsibility law
and ''modernized treatment of each
inmate" of State institutions, as vel
as establishment of the Legislative
Council and long-range conserva-
tion program as features of his term
of office.
The University of Maryland wa:
described as The capstone
of the States educational system,
and interracial relationships and the
merit system were taken up briefly.
Gov. O'Conor has not made known
his intentions in regard to thire
term, although it is thought in som.
quarters that he may seek the sea-
now held by Senator Radcliff, Demo.

 Class for Bicyclists
All Youngsters Urged to Attend Course Of Instructions at Police Headquarters; Parents Asked to Cooperate

other The odds are against the bicyclist because of differences in the weight. speed and type of veh1- cle he operates and the other vehi- cles on the road,
 The automobile driver sits in- side a steel body on comfortao4e seat. well protected under ordinary conditions. All he has to do is steer the car and give the proper amount of gas to the engine, The bicyclist has to propel, steer and balance his vehicle, look out for cars passing him and watch for the parked car door opening suddenly in his path.
 Then too, the bike rider has no protection for his body. He Is eX- posed to danger on all sides. He must have knowledge of motor vehicle laws for his own protection, He must know the meaning of traf- flc lights, and the dangers to which he will be exposed when crossing an intersection,
 Within the past two weeks, three boys have been seriously injured while riding their bikes during the night season. The one rule which parents should enforce without eX- ception is: Never allow any girl ol boy to ride a bicycle on the pubic highways after sundOwn. The time is coming, very shortly We hope when more stringent laws will bt passed for the protection of the bike riders. We have @ minimum agt for automobile drivers, why not one for bike operators? They will eventually be registered like auto- mobiles, inspected for their mechan' ical condition, test for the oper- ator and some sort of limitation placed on night riding by young children.
 Until such time, the police de- partment will conduct classes fol bicycle riders, Starting on Satur' day, March 30th, at 9:30 a. m. classes will be held in the police auditorium, located at Police Head quarters for all bicycle operators The laws, rules and regulations wil be thoroughly explained and w hope that the parents will Sene their children to this school
 Under no circumstances shoult the boys or girls be allowed to rid' their bikes to this school. Leave the bicycle home; we do not wan anyone to bring his bike to thu school. Driving through the con gested areas with a bike is to in' vite trouble. Parents may accom- pany their children if they so desire
 So remember bike riders, it's date,, Saturday, March 30th at 9:3' a. m. We want to help you protec your life. This course is under tht supervision of William J. Roach superintendent of the Waterbur, Police Department, Instructors il the classes will be Sergeant Jame x. Wagner and yours truly, It William c. Dwyer.
