Pimlico Race Track. Md. April 90
The betting element had decidedly the

of the third days card of the spring
meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club.
Four favorites crossed the wire in front.
while the other three events on the pro-
gramme all went to the second choices
The colors of Col. Parr, the local turf
man, were much in evidence during the
afternoon. The WeIkin. the crack
jumper Of the Parr stable. raced home in
front in the Patapsco SJeeplechase, beat

maiden ranks by winning the fifth race
at four furlongs from a field of twelve
two-year-olds
A cold dIizzle of rain again fell

Owing to Rsinfall-Called
at $50 o'clock.

The interscholastic high school base
ball game scheduled for yesterday be-
tween Eastern and Central will be play
ed this afternoon at Union League Park,

field unit for play.
The game will be called this afternoon
at $50 o'clock. with the Light Blue and
White eager for the fray. The Central
ties are anxious to land this battle, as
It will give them a possible chance at
the title. While Western is leading. not
having lost a game. the Blue and White
crowd is banking on the Tech aggrega-
tion to humble Coach Gargan's charges.
and with that in view will play its
hardest.
Coach Gargan will more than likely
work young Cox on the mound. while
Jack Shea will send johnson to the hill.
This lad pitched good ball against Western
and with any kind Of support may spring
a surprise.

science in such matters They believe that
within their own door-yards they are priv
legged to do as they please. The harm that
radiates from their careless practices con-
Germs them not.
EXHAUSTIVE experiments in the United
States army have concluslvely shown
that antityphoid vaccination IS a valuable
preventive measure. We are fortunate in
having such a protection in emergencies;
but, after all, it should be regarded merely
as temporary emergency measure while
we are engaged in stamping out this unneces-
sary malady.
In conclusion, let US remember that these
are serious problems, which should be dealt
with vigorously, with full recognition Of
the evil that exists, but without historical
fear or agitation. Our people, and especially
our children, should be taught that a clean,
sound mind and clean, sound body can
usually offer a successful resistance to the in
cidence of disease, whether infectious or
otherwise. But the best minds and the best
bodies are not always in perfect adjustment.
In periods of depression, disease agencies get
in their work; likewise, unless the new sci
ence of cugenics makes over the world within
the next few centuries, we may expect for an
indefinite period to have with us the non
resistant-those who yield readily to the at
tacks of disease. whether due to infection or
to mere life strain. 1t is our duty, therefore,
to recognize the peril that lies in careless
unsantary practices, and in the existence
of disease germs, and at the same time
to face such menaces with unhinching
courage.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-08-18

mentally simple. The larger cities must
guard against pollution of their water and
milk supply in outlying districts. Rigid in
spection should prevent the accumulation of
refuse, garbage, or sewage IN the streets,
alleys, or along the shores OF waterways, af-
fording the housefy an opportunity to
spread Infection In the small towns,
household sewage should either be inciner
ated or disposed of by one of the numerous
safe and sanitary methods now available.
Isolated dwellings in the rural districts
shorld use deep watertight, fly proof, and
mosquito proof cesspools, the dry earth SAM
tarv pail closets described in Public Health
Bulletin No. 81, or, best of all, the L. R. S.
sanitary barrel closet described in Farmers
Bulletin 1863 These bulletins can be pro-
cured from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Washington, d. c.
Isolation and thorough control of typhoid
caution should be taken during epidemics,
such as boiling the water and milk, careful
protection and screening of food from the
housef1y, etc. There should be a consolida-
ton of the various health agencies of the
federal Government, and the powers of
State and local health officials should be
increased, Notwithstanding the yapping of
misguided individuals who demand personal
freedom to poison their neighbors without
restraint.
Stringent laws prohibiting soil pollution
should be passed in every State. The man
who is not educable in the situation should
be dealt with just as we deal with any other
poisoner. 1t is a sad commentary on human
nature that so many people utterly lack con-
