The State Tuberculosis Commission
ofIndiana, created by the last legislature
of that state, is preparing to make a
tour of investigation of tuberculosis
sanatoria in the east The members of
the commission recently studied the act
of the Maryland legislature, creating
state sanatorium, and expressed interest
in its simplicity, and the apparent low
cost at which the institution will be built
in this state The Indiana gentlemen
would have been pleased had work on
the Maryland institution progressed far
enough to give them an idea of its finish
ed condition, bat they said that they
would probably visit the Eudowood
Sanatorium a Towson, as that is a semi
public sanatorium.
No more complimentary action could
have been taken than that by the Board
Of County School Commissions of Talbot
county, who last week offered the superin-
tendence of their schools to NTH. Craw-
ford Bounds, at present superintendent
of Wicomico county. It's sort ofunwrit-
ten rule that a superintendent must come
from the county he serves; and in break
ing the rule, the Talbot Board demon
strated their desire to keep their schools
to the high standard late superinten-
dent Chapman has raised them during
his forty years of devoted service In
Difference to the wishes of his Board, Mr.
Bounds declined to leave his Wicomico
county work, where he deserves all the
success he is enjoying; and Talbot is still
looking for model superintendent
-Messrs. Webster P. Hollingsworth
and Charles Pitcock, formerly of Wheel,
Hartford county, made the trip from
Baltimore to Hagerstown on Monday in
an automobile in seven hours, during the
hottest part of the day. The pike from
Baltimore to Frederick is good, and from
Frederick to Hagerstown it is excellent,
and this part of the trip over the noun
tains and the historic battlefield is the
most beautiful one In the state. Hagers-
town can be seen in the distance from the
mountain side and the scenery is grand
hey description. One of the most in
teresting things on the trip to Mr..
Hollingsworth was his great grand
fathers name, Jesse Hollingsworth,
carved in stone at the stone bridge
that crosses the Monocacy river, and the
inscription of the date, 1909.
"A short but severe hail storm visited
the vicinity OF Delta. Pylesville and
Stearns and passed on down the valley
OF Deer Greek, on Monday afternoon,
causing great damage in its narrow
path. AT Statewide the wind struck the
chimney of the Presbyterian Church and
it was precipitated upon the roof through
which it fell, doing great damage; and in
south Delta locust tree was blown
across the roof of Mr.. James Harvey's
residence, crushing it in. Much wheat
was seriously damaged by the heavy fall
OF hail, some of which was as large as a
walnut, and where it struck wheat the
heads were completely cut from the stalk.
Tomato plants were seriously damaged,
and blades of growing corn cut into
shreds. Growing crops were seriously
damaged and trees uprooted as far south
as priesthood bridge. At the home of
Mrs. James w. McNabb a brood of six
teen fancy chickens was housed with
their mother in a coop. which the wind
lifted from its bottom and carried quite
a distance away; the hen with true
maternal care, continued to hover her
young through the storm but succeeded
in saving only one from drowning.
Many telephones were burned out by
the electric current.
