Motorists Lax On
Change Of Address

More than 10000 Maryland auto
mobile owners failed to receive
through the mails last year. their
application blanks for new license
tags. This happened because that
number of persons had not notified
the Department of Motor Vehicles
of a change in their addresses.
w. Lee Elgin, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, urges motor vehicle
owners to advise the Department at
once of any change in address APP
plications are now being made ready
for deliveries to Tax Collectors in
Baltimore City and Maryland Coun-
ties so that automobile taxes can be
itemized on the face of the blank,
for payment at the time you send
for your tags.
Motorists will save last minute
delays in getting their license tags,
by cooperating with the Department
in it's effort to get your correct
mailing address

"a NEW ENTERPRISE.
COULD ENTER OUR CITY"

By organizing company for the
purpose of starting a cat ranch, the
cats to be killed for their fur. The
ranch could be located near this
city.
To start with we could collect
100000 cats. Each cat will average
II kittens per year. The skins sell
from 10c each for white ones to f5c
for the pure black. This will give
us 100000 skins per year, which
at an average of soc each, will make
our revenue about $4,000 per day
gross.
A MAN can skin so cats per day
for 81. It will take about 100 men
to operate the ranch, and therefore
the net profit will be about $4,000
per day. We will feed the cats on
rats, and will start a rat ranch next
door. The rats will multiply four
times as fast as the cats, therefore,
if we start with 100000 rats we
will have 4 rats per days for each
cat, which is plenty.
Then we will feed the rats on
the carcasses of the cats from which
the skins have been taken, giving
each rat a quarter of the cat. 1t
will thus be seen that the ranch
will be self-sustaining. The cats will
eat the rats and the rats will eat
the cats, and we will get the skins.
Of course, this is only suppose
ton, but if you are interested in
live singing canaries, canary cages,
stands food, etc. also dog and cat
supplies in all branches, pay us visit
to Spangler's Pet Store, 81 w. Frank
lin Street. (Advt.)

Oren Sterling president of the
Hagerstown Baseball Club, called
over the week end to tell me that
the Owls working agreement with
the Chicago Cubs will not be re-
nnewed next year and that he is
now negotiating with the Detroit
Tigers.
Mr. Sterling told me that the Chi
cago Cubs front Office is only inter
ested in farm clubs that they own
and since he has no intention of
selling his Interstate League fran
chise The has had several attractive
otfers), he could not do business
with the Cubs Negotiations with
the Detroit club are well underway
and something definite may have
materialized by the time the annual
meeting of the League is held in
Wilmington on Monday.
The Detroit Tigers own the Buff
falo Bisons and have also bought
the Williamsport, Pa team, SO that,
if the agreement goes through, the
Owls should get plenty of help.
MIR. Sterling also advised me that
he is negotiating for a full time
business manager for his Gu b,
which is also good news

Congress On The Air

Being %loquacious, argumentative,
bull-voiced and a publicity hound,
Senator Pepper of Florida revives his
proposal to put Congress on the air.
Under a bill he has in mind, to be
presented after the congressional r.
organization measure has been approv-
3D. all proceedings of the Senate and
the House would be broadcast by special
snort wave stations he would have es-
tabllshed on the Atlantic and the Paci-
TIC coasts SO that the people can know
what their lawmakers are up to all the
time Congress is in session. ,
The stations would cost z, 1000, 900
each and their operation amount to
$4,000 yearly. That's a good deal of
money, Senator, to ask the people to
put up, in addition to their other taxes,
just to hear you and a few others rave
lon Capitol Hill.

Eliminate Politics

President Truman has publicly de-
clared that he wants strong labor legis-
lation. Yet he has not signed the Case
bill on the ground that it is too strong.
Thus the question seems to be: What is
strong?
Obviously there are too many defini-
tons. What is strong enough for one
person is too strong for another or too
weak for a third.
In the meantime organized labor has
disregarded all definitions and done as
it wanted, calling strikes where and
when it saw fit, placing heavy handi-
caps upon industry, defying the gov.
eminent and, while representing only
a minority of the population, exercis-
ing power over the majority to its
detriment and economic harm.
1t is impossible to escape the belief
that II MIR. Truman and Congress could

Street Paving

The Councils plan for surfacing
streets and sidewalks in the annexed
areas is to accept applications for the
work from residents, file them in order
and proceed with the job as paving
crews get around to them, the cost to
be divided between the city and prop
erty owners.
In the main, the proposal is all right,
but if the City is to avoid an unen-
durable situation it will undertake no
paving project less than a block long.
The supervisors of San Francisco
some years ago tried something of the
sort but failed to specify the size of
each project. Owners were required
only to obligate themselves for their
share of the cost for paving before
their homes to the center of the street.
The consequence was that whereas
paving was laid in this restricted area
the rest of the block, including the
other side of the street, was either a
dust or a mud hole and there was no
material improvement at all as the
new pavement soon became Uttered
with dirt. San Francisco was a long
time digging out from under the folly
of its paving ordinance.
If it were possible, Wilmington
street paving would move ahead more
smoothly if the Council could designate
each such project a work of necessity
and convenience, which it would be, but
if this is not provided for by law, the
administration can see that new paving
is not fragmentary, as it was for 50
long a time in San Francisco.

Turn Tail And Run

Once more the press tells of the
tragic end Of an air voyage, with the
toll placed at twenty-three persons.
This time the plane was destined for
Panama, having taken off at Palm
Beach. In a thunderstorm it crashed
into a promontory on Taboga island and
exploded.
The accident is so similar in manv
respects to other air tragedies It ia na-
tural to wonder if aviation, which has
made such tremendous strides in recent
years cannot find the way to prevent
them. 1t is with disturbing frequency
we read of planes blowing into mo,,n-
t%ainsides in storms.
Save for the human element, which
IS always unpredictable, it would seem
that pilots approaching storm areas
could turn tail and run for safety. even
If they had to return to the startino
point, instead of continuing on their
way with visibility practically nil. Ger.
tainly, if a return flight were started
before the plane entered the storm
area, the annual death toll from these
particular accidents might be substan.
TALLY reduced.
This is only the layman's view, but
has the merit of offering q way O.
saving human lives.

THESE JESUS MEN"


With something of a shock.
heard a favorite preacher saw
II am tired of these Jesus e in
pulpit and press. We hear too
much about the leadership of
Jesus We need to hear, instead.
about the Saviourhood of Christ.
I've had enough of the men who
speak beautifully about Jesus, but
are silent about Christ"
OF course, that preachers point
was well made. In these days of
watering down the Gospel we find
over-many who are willing 20 exto,
the human qualities of Jesus, but
who deny Him His crown rights as
Christ, the Son of God and Saviour
of Men.
Crossless preaching will never
transform character or save the
world. Let Dur thought be today of
Jesus, the crucified Christ.
It is redemption that we are
needing o than recovery or re-
form; and we cry to Thee, O
Saviour, for salvation from our
sins, Amen.

Americas Card Authority

Milton Jones Of New York has
become quite an enthusiastic
tournament player. l saw him
play an interesting hand at the
Vanderbilt Cup Tournament.
Jones (South) refused to win
the first heart trick, and when
West continued with the four Of
hearts, he won with the ace. He
correctly read that West held a
five-card heart suit.
Next he played a small club
and West showed out, indicating
that he could have four diamonds
and four spades. Jones cashed
the ace of diamonds and two more
rounds of clubs, West letting go
two diamonds and a spade. The
ace and king of spades were
cashed, dropping Vests queen and
jack.
Now Jones led a heart, throwing
West in the lead. All West could
do was to cash his three heart
tricks, then he had to come out
with a diamond, giving Jones his
ninth trick.
