fhs. Washingtona, Restaurant ASA! "a
ciatfon and the Hotel. Association Of
Washington are sponsoring jointly
the second month of the Districts
safety education program, it was an
nounced today, with safe winter

Table cards measuring 5 by 31a

Use tire chains on ice and snow;
keep your windshield wipers in good
working order; drive slowly and
carefully on slippery streets and
use power gently going around
curves; to slow or stop, keep your
clutch engaged as long as possible,
and pump the brakes gently-don't
jam them on, and don't follow other
cars too closely-signal your ipten-
tions of stopping or turning well in
advance.
I'VE can all see good sense in
traffic safety" said Frank E. Weak
ley, president of the hotel associa-
ton. 1--WE want to make the public
conscious of the Importance of safe
winter driving. We can't legislate
safety into being but we can edu-
cate ourselves in being better, more
careful drivers"
August H. Dressell, president of
the restaurant association said, "If
we can prevent but one accident
through the display of these winter
hints, our efforts will have been we'll
justified"
The safety education program is
being conducted by the Commission
ers' Traffic Advisory Board and the

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Graduate
students seem to be showing less in
terest in American history.
DR.. Morris L. Radoff, State archi-
visit, noted the trend yesterday in
his annual report on the work of the
Maryland Hall of Records
There were fewer calls for Hall
of Records material last year than
in 1916, Dr. Radoff said. The same
thing happened in other places
where archives are kept.
DR.. Radoff suggested one possible
cause of the decline in circulation
is more widespread indexes of ma
terial and deposit of state micro
