College Park Items.

The first public debate of the year at
the Maryland \ Agricultural Col ege, stu
ated at this place, took place in the Col
lege Chapel last Friday night before a
large audience from the nei ghborhood and
Washington. The subjec- of icb tie Was,
Resolved, That War Is Indispensable. "
Messrs F. A. Bouic and J. A. Hirsh held
the affirmative and Messrs. f. K Bradford
and P. L. Peach held the negative. The
discussion was both exhaustive and inter-
esting. The ju lges decided in favor of
the affirmative.
The small poX patients il this section
of this county are reported to be getting
well as fast as might b. expected under
the circum stances, and the danger of its
spreading is no longer feared. Dr. Lea,
of 3erwyn, who is the attending physician
l. Is said, will thoroughly fumigate the
houses in which the sick are, with every
thing in them, and then keep the occupants
quarantined for sixteen days, which, he
says, is sufficient time for the symptoms of
the disease to appear on any member of
the families if it is in their systems.
Director Harry J. Patterson, of the
Maryland Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, will in a few days issue bulletin on
the experiments which have been carried
on at this institution for the past five
years for the purpose of investigating the
effect of Phosphoric Acid on the soil.
