Baltimore St. Approximately one-third of the automobiles in Maryland are owned by persons irresponsible financially, according to figures compiled. At least half the drivers who figure in accidents, are unable to pay for personal injury and damage to property inflicted by them. The bill for compulsory protection advocated for some time by The Jef-fersonian, prepared and indorsed by the Automobile Club, provides a remedy for this condition. It is difficult to obtain the exact figures in connection with automobile accidents. From checking up on the experience of different lawyers who have a good deal of this kind of practice we find there are a shocking number of cases in which complainants are unable to get a penny for even serious injuries. About • one-third of Maryland's automobiles are insured, one-third are owned by persons responsible financially and the remaining third are owned by persons irresponsible financially. It is the financially irresponsible driver who is the reckless driver. He does not have to worry about the cost of an accident. Usually he has a very small equity in his machine. He can get used cars from $25 up. He can get a new car on a small initial payment and small monthly installments. Congestion of the streets and the number of automobiles are increasing rapidly. In the hands of an irresponsible man the automobile is, as never before, a menace to the public safety. The public safety demands that measures be taken promptly to provide for mutual protection. It has been said that the proposed law provides for compulsory insurance. This is not the case. We want to provide compulsory protection in the form of either insurance or bond. Moreover, no man responsible financially will be affected. The criticism has been made that our bill" will impose an additional burden on car owners. Such is not the case. The person irresponsible financially will be protected in turn. In the long run the money he spends for a bond or for insurance will prove a good investment. Large concerns operating many automobiles can obtain bonding service cheaper than insurance. The individual would find practically no difference between the cost of bonding and insurance. Thus the automobile owner could comply with the terms of the pro- 'COBBLER' CALLED INFERIOR KIND OF 'SHOE REPAIRER.' To eall a shoe repairer a "cobbler" is to call an artist a dauber or a doctor a quack. A "cobbler," according to Webster ,is a clumsy or coarse workman—a botcher. He doesn't make shoes or he doesn't repair them skillfully; he patches them up. In years gone by, says the Philadelphia Record, when good equipment and materials were not easily available, there were many "cobblers." Such was to be expected, for the trade was greatly handicapped. Still, in those very same times, in spite of the disadvantage of clumsy tools and generally poor working conditions, there would be found occasionally a true she craftsman. Many a sturdy, well-shaped shoe has been turned out by a conscientious workman who had noth- posed law at a nominal cost. The rates would be brought down by the competition between bonding and insurance companies, as well as by the great number of additional policies that would be Issued. The Jeffersonian has not found many persons who are in opposition to the bill. All big interests are in favor of it because, in many instances, they have not been able to recover damages from individuals. Many individuals have not been able to get compensation. ing more than the most rudimentary tools, such as lap stone, hammer and hand awl, with which to work. Today thereshould be no "cobblers." Present day equipment and the most favorable of working conditions should make "cobbling" almost impossible. Shoe machinery in its present state of perfection operates with almost human intelligence and performs even the smallest, details. There are tools and attachments and all kinds of accessories which, if properly used, make shoe repairing almost fool proof. ----------o---------- GLYNDON GETS NEW FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS. To better cope with emergencies in case of fire, Glyndon has purchased an up-to-date Pierce-Arrow fire truck through the Foss-Hughes Company, Baltimore City distributors. The expense of the apparatus will be borne by the citizens of the town, and the truck will be operated by the Glyndon Volunteer Fire Department. Besides being equipped with a high-pressure hose of 350-foot length thetruck carrier four force-feed chemical tanks, each containing 35 gallons, with hose attachments and several hand tanks filled with anti-flame mixtures. The truck is credited with a high-speed capacity and can gain any point in the town within a very few minutes. Like other fire trucks, it is painted a bright her and is equipped with a big warning gong. C. Howard Whittle is president of the Glyndon Volunteer Fire Department and J. H. Brunnette is chief. ----------o---------- WEDDING REENACTED AT GOLDEN JUBILEE—STEMMERS RUN COUPLE THEN ENTERTAIN GUESTS AT RECEPTION AND DANCE. Church ,and the Rev. C. F. W.

The occasion was the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Homberg, who have lived at Stemmers Run for 39 years and are among the oldest inhabitants of that district. Mr. Homberg is 71 years old. Mrs. Homberg is 68. The ceremony was repeated in detail as it was originally. Mrs. Mary Kahler, of Raspeburg, was bridesmaid, and Charles Schultz was best man, as they were 50 years ago, when the first ceremony was performed at the First German United Evangelical Church. Mr. and Mrs. Homberg, in memory of the event, presented a baptismal font to St. John's Lutheran Church, Essex. Addresses were made by the Rev.

Two days before the message was read he had been endorsed as candidate for the Presidency by a Republican convention in South Dakota. On December 8 it was announced that "the friends of President Coolidge are organizing under the guidance of William M. Butler, who will act as the President's personal representative." When the Republican National Committee met in Washington on December 11, what the New York Daily News calls "the Coolidge steam-roller" gave the June convention to Cleveland instead of Chicago, and newspaper correspondents discovered that forty-six of the fifty-three members of the National Committee were friendly to the Coolidge candidacy. Just as the McKinley boom 'in 1896 was an Ohio affair steered by Ohioans, so, remarks the Brooklyn Eagle, "this Coolidge boom will be a Massachusetts matter in charge of the Massachusetts men." The New York World observes that in the Coolidge organization, besides the Messrs. Stearns, Butler and James B. Reynolds of Massachusetts, there will be in the background "George Harvey, a majority of the Republican Senators and Congressmen, a horde of Federal office-holders, and the bulk of the National Committee." And this opposition newspaper goes on to pay its respects to the strength of the Coolidge candidacy thus launched and thus sponsored: "The wisdom of these, however, is but a small part of the assets with which President Coolidge enters upon his campaign. His residence, his record, his birth and breeding are of the nature in which the American people delight. He is a typical Republican President, and politicians are all aware of the importance that fact in a contest like the to come. "Mr. Coolidge is by training an capacity a shrewd, practical politician. And between now and June, 1924, no grass will be found growing in the President's political encampment. But what has most thoroughly stirred up the Republican dailies throughout the country in connection with the Coolidge candidacy is the decision reached on December 4 by a body of Republicans in South (Continued on Page 7—Col. 1) S FOR PLA§=FEKING & CEMENT 1 % WORK OF THE BETTER * " KiND SEE W.
