Peter, in Clrcuit Court, that it is not a viola- tion of the Montgomery County local option law to transport liquor through ¢, provided it is not intended old or delivered within the county limits, will not, it was stated here today, mean that the county will become a favorite route for rum run- ners carrying liquor from Baltimore and points Nerth to Washington and the South. Since Judge Peter rendered his de- clsion, county authorities have been considering: ways of coping with the situation and it is understood they have about decided upon a plan ‘Whenever an officer suspects a per- son of hauling liquor he will be held up, and, if his automobile or other conveyance is found to contain con- trabrand, will be arrested and held for trial. The Federal authorities will, in the meantime, be notified, and are expected to he prepared to take charge of the accused in the event that the prisoner is able to prove that the liquor was intended for de- livery without the limits of the county ROCKVILLE.

By Consolidated Pre: NEW ORLEANS, June 6.—With automobiles ki a child nearly every day, the traffic department of New Orleans has concluded that its drastic new traffic laws have failed. Commissioner of Public Safety Ha- bans, who has conducted a thorough study of the whole problem with a view toward evolving a traffic code which will make the streets reason- ably safe for pedestrians, now pro- poses more restrictions. Numerous Codes Drawn. Three years ago, when the first serious effort was made to regulate the new flood of automotive traffic, from three to five persons were seri- ously hurt each day. Code after code was drawn, each embodying a mnew principle of control. The latest, which went into effect six weeks ago, put upon the motorist the duty of being ready to stop at any point if a pedestrian should raise his hand; and upon pedestrians the duty of obeying the traffic signals. Those who walked across the street against the signals were arrested for ignoring traffic orders. The sole effect of this law seems to have been to speed traffic on the out- lying streets. On them these past few weeks many fatalities have occurred. Three children were killed in as many days this week. Commissioner Habans’ latest pro- posal is the creation of a system of |} physical, mental and “horse sense’ Main 4874 P'IOMI Main 8552 St. N.E. remodeled and up-to- electric lights, newly Six rooms and bath.

A tramp knocked at the kitchen door of a Port- land- home one day, and a smiling Chinaman appeared. “'Say, John,' croaked the tramp, ‘give the & hand-out, for the love o' Mike, will yer? S'elp me, I'm starvin'.” *“‘Like fish? inquired the China- with @ bland smile.

Your heatir_xg plant may be placed in a more advantageous location. You can save money by having a smaller basement excavation. By eliminating the coal bin and larger fur- nace room you can plan better use of your basement. Many now have bright, airy play- rooms, gymnasium, stag rooms, billiard rooms, maids’ roogs, better laundries, etc., in place of the old-fashioned dark basement. But most of all, you will have adequate, uni- form, clean, smokeless, sootless, ashless, safe heat, automatically—entirely independent of any effort, time or thought on your part.
