this week.
The new law, a section of the

els in accordance with recognized
medico-legal standards.
The other states which had pre-
viously adopted the model law are
Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Ida
no, Indiana. Kansas, Kentucky
Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Utah, Washington and

The legislation was backed by
the Governors Highway Safety
Committee of Virginia. and effec-
tive public support in overcoming
opposition to the bill was pro-
vided by the League for Safety
Education, headed by Mrs. Ran
dali w. Everett, Jr., safety chair
man of the Virginia Federation

When Peary returned to the
United States after discovering
the Pole, he learned that DR..
Frederick Cook had claimed
prior discovery. A heated con-
troversy followed, but the Ma
tional Geographic Society and
Congress itself returned a unani-
nous verdict in Peary's favor.
In 1918, in retirement, Peary
turned his energies to the field
of aviation. At the outbreak of
World War /, he helped organize
the National Aerial Coast Patrol
Commission, which laid out a
comprehensive plan for the pro-
lection of the East coast. With

raising the amount Of the State
track take out Of each bettor's
dollar from 10 to IL cents.
That would give each of the
mile tracks 40 days each of
racing every year. They now get
1914 days apiece.
Under the subcommittee rec
ommenoation, subject to the
approval of House Ways and
Means Committeeman and SEN
ate Finance Committee members,
the racing bill would take effect
in time for the racing season
this spring.
The pay bill would raise the
State-guaranteed minimum for
beginning teachers from $4,000
to $4,000 annually. All but three
counties now pay more than the
proposed new scale in the bill,
but the increase revenue still
would go to the counties.
The bill would cost Sill mil
lion in the first year and more
in each succeeding year.
Other Actions Taken

Also enacted by the Senate
were bills to abolish boards of
managers over the State training
