ed by Congressmen.
KELLER BILL FAVORED
Representative Zihlman Host to i
Party of Officials on Tour to
Frederick, Md.
Long-looked-for automobile reci
procity between Maryland and t.be
District of Columbia is near and will'
j-oon be an accomplished fact, Rep- j
resentative Fred N. Zihlman of Mary- •
land announced following an in
formal discussion of this subject
while he entertained the members of
tho House District committee and
tho District Commissioners on an au
tomobile run to Frederick and a din
ner at tho new Francis Scott Key
Hotel there last night.
This was the general opinion
among his guests, and assurances
■Here given that early and probably
favorable action will be taken on the
auto gasoline tax bill drawn by En- 1
gineer Commissioner Keller to meet J
the provisions of the recently enacted
Maryland law. which becomes ef
fective January 1. 1924. Under the
Maryland law the governor would he
authorized and directed to enter into
negotiations looking toward a full
gasoline tax in the District of Co
lumbia. and that thereafter full and
complete reciprocity will be estab
lished and only one tag will be re
quired.
Other Speakers Heard.
Besides Representative Zihlman,
others who spoke, Were Senator Ball,
chairman of the Senate District com
mittee: Commissioner Rudolph and
Representative Benjamin K. Focht,
• hairman of the House District com
mittee. There was unamimous ac
cord that everything possible should
be done to bring about automobile
reciprocity not only for the advan
tage it would be to motorists in the
District of Columbia but to encourage
a more orderly promotion of com
merce between Maryland and the
District, ’and co-operation all along
the line.
Representative Zihlman took the
party by automobiles from the Dis
trict on an inspection of the Fred
erick road which has been widened
six feet by placing concrete shoul
ders on each side. He told the
<'ommissioners and his colleagues on
the District committee that he has re
ceived assurances from the chairman
of the Maryland slate roads commis
sion that the next Maryland road to
be thus improved would be the Rock
ville road running' into the District.
This is to be widened front fifteen
to twenty-one feet, at a cost of about
513,000 per mile.
Entertains Merry Party.
It was a merry party that Repre
sentative Zihlman took to the new
Frederick hotel. Chairman Focht of
the House District committee knew'
personally Manager Saver of the ho
tel and the best that tho hotel affords
was placed before the guests from
Washington. Representative Zihlman
brought In a number of the most
prominent men in Frederick to help
entertain the District officials and the
congressmen. William Bonner, prom
inent New Tork business man* and
vocalist, accompanied by John E.
Kleist, also of New Tork, came down
from the big town and made the trip
with Representative Zihlman's party.
They furnished a much-enjoyed con
cert.

of his bond concern, failed to appear
for arraignment in the United States
district court. Stanley M. Ryan, aa

THE HUMAN SIDE OF BANKING
SI,OOO for
Good Intentions
Under our Insured Savings Plan, which we operate
in conjunction with the Continental Assurance Company,
a man doesn’t necessarily have to live to save SI,OOO.
All he must do is to give evidence of good intentions.
If, for instance, he had made up his mind to save SI,OOO,
made the first deposit of a few dollars to his account
under this plan, and he should happen to die, his heirs
would receive the SI,OOO he started out to save, plus
whatever was to his credit in the bank.
Thus you can insure your good intentions. Just make
up your mind to save a thousand dollars in a given time,
and if you are acceptable under the plan, you deposit so ..
much a month toward that goal.
If you live, we will say, to save only S7OO or SBOO,
your heirs will receive not only the SI,OOO you intended
1 to save, but the S7OO to SBOO to your credit in the bank.
This is a wonderful way to save, as thousands of
people will tell you. Come in and leam about this plan,
or write for descriptive circular. * .
