Weak Alibis

IT IS not the authors intention
to establish that our big-city traf-
fc courts are a safe shot for viola
tors. Judges still frown on the art
full alibi. In Syracuse, N. Y, when
a man was hauled before a judge
for reckless driving, his excuse was,
my wife fell asleep in the back
seat 50 had no one to direct me" "
1t carried no weight.
In Detroit, a man ticketed for
failing to give a signal when max
ing a left turn, won no reprieve
despite his plaintive plea, I'm
from the South. And it's just too
darn cold up here to put your arm
out of the window"
Nor should it be inferred that
the average policeman who hands
out a ticket is an eager beaver who
enjoys his legal chore. The average
citizen harbors the notion that
most traffic cops have quotas,
and that they must write a certain
number of tickets every day. This
is a myth, police officials every
where have assured me. As one
put it: ''If had a nickel for every
time a cop issued a friendly repri-
mand to a traffic violator instead
of a ticket, I'd be RICH"

Thousands Do Il
MAYBE, but thousands of citizens
inconvenience themselves every
week to fight for their principles
and to keep their traffic records
from being blemished. One en-
couraging side light is that it has
become the practice in many cities
to hold sessions in the evening or
on Saturday morning. In many
communities, civic associations are
spearheading movements designed
to streamline traffic justice.
The work of the Kings County
Grand Jury, in New York City, is
a typical example. Investigating
conditions in Brooklyn's Magis-
trates' Courts, the Grand Jury
issued this report: ''The chief COM
plant regarding the operation of
the Magistrates Courts comes
from persons claiming that they
plead guilty to a traffic violation or
parking offense although they are
not guilty, and that they do so
because they cannot afford the ex-
pense and inconvenience and loss
of time that would be entailed by
pleading not guilty and going to
trial" The Grand Jury recon-
mended that Brooklyn establish a
night court.

she was sitting on the panel of

failed to convince them they have
broken the law and consequently
they resent the charge.
3. If they can't afford to pay the

Most people who come before

categories," continued the judge.
"Any one of them is good enough
to warrant an acquittal. Also. con-

The confusion, hostility of
groups, towns and municipal
ties to each other, sharply di-
vergent views, prejudices and
antagonistic demands which
Douglas Mckay, Secretary of
Interior, came across in his
visit to the Virgin Islands last
week were enough to leave
any man in a state of utter
beWilderment.
Some groups urged Gordon
Skeoch on him for governor,
and assumed that their choice
was as good as nominated.
Immediately, the adherents of
James Bough, another aspir-
ant, rushed forth to give bat
tie. Others wanted just a

Skeoch nor Bough was salts
factory to them, but they had
no candidate of their own to
put forward. Others wanted no
native at all Then there were
those who tried to get Dan
Danvers bandwagon rolling.
Many Of the Secretarys inter
viewers urged him to select
any candidate who had the
strength and courage to make
a wholesale clean up Of the
local administration. There
were even a few hardy indi-
viduals who thought the time
ripe to feel out the Secretary
or work through his assistant,
Mr.. Raymond Davis, for lesser
jobs.
Although Mr.. Mckay indi-
Gated that a new governor will
be selected there was no

Plans Made For 1853
Maryland Land Week

Preliminary plans were made
for 1853 Land Week at the re-
cent meeting of the Maryland
Land Week committee in Balti-
more. An invitation from counties
of the upper Eastern Shore to
highlight the observance this
year was unanimously accepted by
the committee. The tentative date
agreed on is the week of July 27.
1t has been the policy to have
one area of the State highlight the
observance each year. In further
ance of this policy the committee
defined the areas as follows:
Area /. Lower Eastern Shore:
Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico,
and Worcester counties. Area 2.
Upper Eastern Shore: Kent, Queen
Anne's, Cecil, Caroline, and Talbot
counties. Area 3. Southern Mary
land: Prince Georges, st. Mary's,
Calvert, Charles and Anne Arund-
ell counties. Area A. Central Mary
land: Hartford, Baltimore, Howard,
Carroll, Frederick, and Montgom-
cry counties. Area 5. Western
Maryland: Garrett, Allegany, and
Washington counties.
The areas were chosen because
of similar types of agriculture in
the counties. Under this plan any
individual area, when highlighting
Land Week, will be able to select

land Artificial Breeding Coopera-
tive, at College Park. First: the
month of December, 1852, was the
biggest month in the six year his
tory of the Maryland cooperative.
Second: artificial breeding for the
first half of the 1928 fiscal year
also hit a peak.
In December, 1852, 5,206 first
services We're rendered by the CO.
operatives technicians. This is S26
more than the previous December,
and is almost 400 higher than No
vember, 1862.
For the first six months of the
present fiscal year, the period of
July December 81, DR.. Wealth
crby reported 20,1S5 first services,
