THE JEFFERSON1AN, TOWSON, MARYLAND Saturday, May 17, 1924r—Page 3 REPUBLICANS WILL ENDEAVOR TO CARRY STATE—CANDIDATES TO BE NAMED Leaders Say Strong Fight Will Be Waged To Put Maryland In Coolidge Column—40,000 Majority Given Ritchie Doesn't Mar Enthusiasm. Notwithstanding the 40,000 majority given Governor Ritchie last fall, the Republican leaders in the State say they will make a strong fight to place Maryland in the Coolidge column this year and that they are not at all hopeless of the result. The fact that Coolidge's nomina- The New SIX Towson Radiator & Welding Works tion i sregarded as certain, gives them opportunity to start their campaign immediately, whereas it does not seem likely that the Democratic candidate for president will be known before the third day of the New York convention. The Republican Congresssnoi ticket in the State has been completed with the selection of a candidate from the Fourth District. Peter E. Tome seems likely to be the choice, although State Senator Harry O. Levin had a following. Maryland will have 19 delegates this year because of a resolution of the Republican National Committee that every State which went for Harding should have three additional delegates. The State will have 16 votes in the Democratic National Convention, but there will be 32 delegates, with a half vote each.

Even the inoffensive tail lights of automobiles are not immune. As a matter of convenience to the motoring public, it is believed yellow may be a more becoming shade than red. The Eastern Conference of Motor Vehicle Administrators, of which Commissioner E. Austin Baughman and H. M. Lucius, secretary of the Automobile Club of Maryland, are members from this State, is considering a change. Red lights should be used only to indicate a full stop, according to the theory advanced by the tail-light revolutionists. Yellow lenses, similar to those now being used in Philadelphia to signal foot traffic to move, have been suggested as a substitute. They will indicate that approaching vehicles should merely slow down. The trouble, according to Mr. Lucius, is that motorists have so long been accustomed to slow down when they see red that an extensive education of the public will be necessary before yellow can be substituted. WOMAN WITH SMALL CHILDREN KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO. Mrs. Agnes Slez, 35 years old, of Baltimore city, with her two small children were knocked down by an automobile on the Belair Road, near Overlea, which failed to stop after the accident. ----------o---------- MAY TERM OF COURT CONVENES MONDAY.

Facts prove that every community which has shown an increase in motor car sales has also shown an increase in production. The automobile and motor truck create the ability to make a comfortable living from the land; to rear a family carefully and well; to be of good service to the community and to leave the farm more productive than when one took it. Good highways greatly widen the farmers' area of distribution. They enable him to go to points where better prices are obtained, and with motor transport he can do this with a great saving of time, and time means money in handling farm products, A farmer must be able to move his products rapidly when the demand is active, especially if they are perishable, and thus the element of transportation is of vital importance to the modern farmer. The motorcar and motortruck have greatly added to the farmer's ability to increase his business, and every community that has shown an increase of car and truck sales will show an increase in productiveness. The modern farmer must be efficient. There is no favorable outlook for the inefficient in any line of business. Good motor transportation enables the farmer to create a greater variation in his crops and to produce more of the perishable crops such as fruits, etc., that return quick profits. This might be compared to the speeding up of turnover in industrial and mercantile establishments with resulting benefit. The motorcar and good roads have put the city and country closer together. They unite neighbor with neighbor, town with country, store with customer, school with pupils and church with worshipers. They make a neighborhood of a country and help do away with sectional misunderstandings as well as isolation of thought. They have helped much in developing the co-operative plan of marketing -which has enabled the farmer to increase his income by getting a better price for his products. Entertainment for the whole family is no longer a farm problem, for the small town theatre, brought close at hand by the motorcar, exhibit the same program of educational and entertaining motion pictures shown in the city. Should illness befall members of the family, they are no longer isolated from aid, but can depend on the quick service of a neighboring physician who can arrive by motorcar. Living on a good highway, with j quick transportation at his command, the farmer has become an important political factor in the life of his community. Now he meets with neighboring villagers and farmers in town and district meetings and voices his opinions on affairs of importance to himself and others. The motorcar aids him to attend divine services on the Sabbath, go to lectures by prominent men, take part in university extension courses and aid in the organization of such agencies as are helpful to the community. ----------o---------- SUNKEN VESSEL. OFF COUNTY WATER FRONT TO BE RAISED. After lying on the bottom of the Patapsco, off the Baltimore county water front, for more than a year, the Danish steamer Nordhvalen will be raised. Charles A. Pording, a local wrecker, said he expects to have the big freighter floated within a month, and then will decide whether to wreck her or place her back in service. Divers are working on her hull, putting a big patch over the hole in her port side. She then will be pumped out and raised. Since the Nordhvalen was sunk, April 16, 1923, efforts have been made by the United States Army Engineers' Office to have her removed, as she was regarded as a menace to navigation. Shortly after she was sunk with 4000 tons of coal in her hold her owners attempted to have her brought to the surface, but their efforts proved futile. The Nordhvalen, valued at more than $100,000 and her valuable cargo of coal, were then offered for sale at public auction. She was sold to Clark Minter of Newark for $200. But Minter never made an effort to remove her. Then bids for her raising were asked from wreckers all over the country by the Army Engineers. Mr. Jording offered to raise her for $4160, provided he was awarded the steamer and her cargo. His bid was accepted. ----------o---------- GOVERNOR ASKS FIRMS TO EMPLOY WAR "VETS." NEW COTTAGE GOING UP IN WEST TOWSON. Lee J. Stebbins, builder, is erecting a cottage on Park avenue, at. Towson. CONVENTION HELD AT COUNTY SEAT CHURCH. A Young People's Sunday-school Convention was held recently at the Towson M. E. Church. There were 150 delegates present, and there was a general discussion of Sunday-J school work. An address was deliv-| ered by Joseph H. Cudlipp, Superin- j tendent of the Maryland Sunday-school Association. A proclamation requesting employers to give work, where possible, to war veterans rehabilitated from injuries by vocational training was issued by Governor Ritchie. Announcement was made at the same time that classes aggregating 190 men in the rehabilitation district have completed courses by the United States Veterans' Bureau during May, June and July. The men are trained not only in schools, but are given practical training in the industries in which they hope to work. Among the leading vocations chosen are poul-trymen, accountants, sign painters, musicians, clothing cutters, cabinet makers, electricians, barbers, watch makers and scores of others. The rehabilitation committee of the American Legion has taken an active interest in training of the service men. In his proclamation the Governor said in part: "I call upon the citizens of this State, who may need workers in any capacity, to consider the possibility of using these men who have demonstrated their merit by the service to their country and their fitness by preparing themselves for return to appropriate places in civil life." ----------o---------- TYDINGS ADDRESSES WOMEN. Congressman Millard E. Tydings, of this District, Democratic candidate for re-election, spoke before the Women's Democratic Club of Baltimore City on Wednesday. DOG POISONER AGAIN AT WORK. During the week several pet dogs belonging to Catonsville folks have been poisoned. A collie, owned by T. B. Coker, was shot by patrolman Moxley, who believed the animal was suffering from rabies.
