To| pay the cost of “their disregard for | rules of safety,” the council said, Americans dug into their pockets for $3,450,000,000—or about $27.05 for each of the Nation's 127,521,000 men, | women and children. Accidents killed 274 persons every | 24 hours, the council said, estimating | that the daily bill for lost income, doctor and hospital fees and other overhead cost of insurance alone was $9.,500,000.

The Recouds, coasisting of 88 bound volumes and 50 unbound pieces, were given in custody of the society for safe keeping by a legislative act ap- proved March 30, 1882. The Hall of Records Commission, at a meeting May 26, requested that they be re- turned to the care of the State. The act making the society custodian of the records also provided that they should be catalogued and preserved. Most of their contents have been published in Maryland WASHINGTON, D. €, Archives, edited by J. Hall Pleasants. He published the fifty-second volume of the Archives in 1935. When the records were first moved from St. Marys City to Annapolis they were personally conducted by the sheriff of each county, who met them with a guard at the county line and conducted them safely to the next county line. Dr. James A. Robertson, archivist of Maryland, brought the records to the hall from Baltimore today in a truck loaned by Clinton Riggs, president of the historical soclety.

Thou- sands of men ars employed and thousands of miles traversed from the time the crude ore ir wrested from the earth, until it reaches your iabls in finished form. .from primitive mines in three-piece O jealously guarded were the great names in the history of silver that to forge the mark of a silversmith was a crime pune ishable by death ., , even as late as 1820. Times have changed and human life today is held more dear—but still persists the old trath- tion. More precious even than the pale metal from which is wrought the ageless masterpieces, the maker’s name is still pre-eminent. His hallmark, together with the sterling mark, is an as- surance of quality ... a guarantee that silver of a certain purity is used . . . that workmanship of finest quality has wrought the pisce that bears the mark. But modern times have brought another factor in . .. the reputation of the #rm which sells Manufacturing silversmiths but seldom sell their wares directly 1o the publie. And people look for satisfaction to the firms from which they buy the finished product. Woodward and Lothrop has chosen to make itself a part of the tradition that has Besn tie heritage of fine silverware for generations. Behind every piece of silver stands the reputation of the firm ... an unscen hallmark which points to hidden values. To those about to make a lifetime purchase of fine silverware no considerations are of greater importance for their pro- tection than the integrity and knowledge of the firm from which they buy. In Washington, when the purchase of fine Silverware is considered, the name of Woodward and Lothrap im- mediately suggests itself, PAe chomicals which make wp a doctor's preseriptions are not more carefully requlated thas the purity of sterling silver.
