Phone, Plaza 7150 ATTENDS CONFERENCE CORD TI! ^ —their prices seldom jL vwij because their I valihj xe ¦¦ does Suggests That Matter Be Referred By Proper Authorities To State Roads Commission For Sonsider-ation. (Continued from Page. 1) tersecting roads leading to ©arrison and to St. Thomas' Church and within a half mile of a right angle turn in the road you will find one of the yellow signs of the State Roads Commission inviting the drivers of motor vehicles to speed up to 35 miles. Nearly every day we hear of some section where they are placed at a point where there should be a warning to drive slow. It should be remembered that the sign does not refer to passenger machines, but is general—arid truck drivers are taking advantage of it everywhere and their increased recklessness on the road is most noticeable. Just a few days ago a machine on the Philadelphia road, near Rosedale, was wrecked and two of the occupants of the car killed. Prom all accounts they had accepted the invitation of the yellow signs and were going the limit. The grand jury for the May term which adjourned on Thursday referred to the criticism these signs have caused and advise that the proper authorities take up the matter with the State Roads Commission. We hope that the State's Attorney will take up the matter with the Commission with the hope that he will be able to secure some explanation from it, for these signs which we have been unable to secure. The roads are full of reckless driverr and on Sundays and holidays there is no pleasure in going on the roads, and now since these signs have been placed it is a decided risk. A gentleman who drives his \awn machine, who resides in the Green Spring Valley, in speaking of the of the signs said: "If these sign boards contained all the law, giving the passenger rate of speed and the truck rates and then gave the warning that 3 5 miles was the extreme limit where there were no intersecting roads and not in built-up sections" then he said "he could see no great objection to it—but to say boldly that from this sign on 35 miles is the lawful limit is misleading, unlawful and hence untrue." A very skillful chauffeur employed by a leading citizen in the same valley, and who in a number of years at the wheel has never had an accident, in speaking of the signs said: "They will cause many accidents, for a great many drivers will act on th« invitation and rely on the signs as^i defense in case of accident." Another gentleman said he had seen a number of these signs and everyone of them was in a place where a warning to go slow should have been placed. We are only interested in the little ones who use the roads in going to and from the schools, for the little ones who wander from their yards on to the road to play; to the old and infirm who have a right to travel on the roads. We believe it the duty of the State to give them every protection, and this the State is not doing when one of its principal agents, the State Roads Commission, invites the reckless driver to go the speed limit in the bubilt-up sections, past the school properties and at greatly traveled intersecting roads. In our judgment not one of these signs should be permitted within 12 miles of the present city limits. ----------o---------- MAN KILLED, TWO HURT AS CAR OVERTURNS AND GOES INTO DITCH ON PHILADELPHIA ROAD.

Hanna raised about 16 millions for the forcing through of McKin-ley, but we talked in millions then and hundreds of millioons now. The financial district in New York is delighted with Coolidge, and why not? He belongs to the Murray Crane school of Massachusetts Republicanism; Murray Crane was a sort of political regent for big business and big money interests, and while Crane and his paper mills dominated, Coolidge was forging to the front in Massachusetts. He had to be satisfactory to the Crane control or he would not have been advanced from post to post. In vetoing the various pieces of legislation passed up to him by Congress Coolidge will please Wall Street, but Wall Street is already his; but in each veto he displeases a great number of voters, the veterans of the Civil War and of the Spanish War and of the World War, and when he vetoes the McNary-Haugen Bill, if it reaches him, he will antagonize the farmers. State Democratic Delegation Instructed To Vote For Him At New York. The Democracy of Maryland, at its State convention, indorsed Governor Albert C. Ritchie as the Democratic nominee for Presidency of the United States, and the Maryland delegation to the National Convention, to be held in New York on June 23rd, were formally instructed to vote for him. Former Congressman Carville D. Benson, of Baltimore County, acted as temporary chairman of the gathering, and he, with David G. Mcintosh, were named among the District delegates to the National convention. COUNTY PROPERTY CHANGES HANDS. A deed was filed at Towson by which the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Company of Baltimore, trustee, conveys a dwelling house and ten acres of land on Bellona avenue, near Govans, to David Luke Hopkins. The consideration was $35,-000. CONVICT GOES HOME Young Pack O'Connor Allowed To Leave "Pen" When Mother Dies. With a capacity of 20,000,000 gallons of water, the new Pikes-ville reservoir has been placed in active service. The big storage basin will supply water to the part of the city north of North avenue and west of Jones' Falls Valley. Delivery of water for this section was being reduced throughout the week by one-half the usual flow while connections were being made with the Druid pumping statiorf. A large force of workmen completed the connections in about 2 4 hours. While this work was being done the Arlington standpipe, with a capacity of 100,000 gallons, together with 1,500,000 gallons in the Pikes-ville reservoir, were being used. By continued pumping at the Hillsdale station a rate of 1,500,000 gallons a day was provided for the territory while connections were being made at Druid station. The three present pumps at the Druid station will be utilized for pumping water into Towson reservoir by way of Roland avenue. This will augment the present Belair road station and provide water for the Eastern high service zone, covering the area east of Jones' Falls Valley and north of the 1888 boundary line, including Guilford.

Phone Back River 7-W The celebration by the Atlantic Transport Line this year of its thirty-fifth year of incorporation recalls to the local shipping men the commanding personality of the late Bernard N. Baker, of Catonsville, one of Baltimore's most noted shipping men, who organized the line in Baltimore and managed it until it became one of the strongest lines in the Atlantic trade. In 188 9 Mr. Baker conceived the idea of a shipping line which would become successful through the employment of the good will of more than one flag. Into this enterprise he brought the keenest minds in the shipping game from both sides of the Atlantic. The consistent progress of the Atlantic Transport Line since its organization is attributed by Mr. Baker's successors to his sagacity and genius as an organizer. Although interested" in the shipping industry as an international affair, Mr. Baker was always a American and prepared comprehensive reports for the expansion of the port of Baltimore and an American merchant marine. He lived long enough to see his company take its place as one of the greatest world's shipping companies. In 1922 it was taken into the international Mercantile Marine Company. Today it carries traffic between New York and London and because of the tradition of its founding is always regarded a product of Baltimore. Mr. Baker died in California in 1918. In the celebration of the anniversary this year officials of the company have taken the opportunity for eulogizing Mr. Baker. Miss Elizabeth Groom, a student at the Towson High School, and the daughter of Harry E. Groom, who was injured by a mop falling from a window of a department store on her head while she was walking along Lexington street, Baltimore, is in an improved condition. Miss Groom was rendered unconscious, and was taken to Mercy Hospital. The mop was being used to clean the windows.

MACHINERY DAMAGED COUNTY ASKS BIDS Vandals Play Havoc With Tractors And Other Equipment. Road machinery over night on the side of county roads is being tampered with to such a degree that Roads Engineer Samuel A. Green has requested Carroll E. Stansbury, head of the county police department, to station officers at several places to endeavor to apprehend the guilty parties. It seems that most damage to equipment is done in the Tenth District, where one night recently a tractor was so tampered with that it exploded when being started, seriously injuring the operator.
