A Motorcycle Mishap.

Mrs. Earl Neikirk. of Middletown,
was cut and bruised and Harry Derr,
also of Middletown, civil engineer EN-
ployed with Engineer E. G. Crum, of
Frederick, was slightly bruised and
scratched when the motorcycle, driven
by Derr, on which Mrs. Neikirk was
riding, ran into the team owned and
driven by George Eldridge, of Myers
vile, near tho residence of Otho Neikirk,
Boonsboro, Tuesday afternoon.
The accident was unavoidable, say
witnesses. The motorcycle was running
at slow rate, Mrs. Neikirk' sitting on
the rear of the machine. The team,
driven by Eldridge, turned in the street
in front of the motorcycle. Derr en-
deavored to turn his machine, but failed,
striking the team a glancing blow, hurl-
ing him and Mrs. Neikirk to the ground.
Both were attended by DIR. Smith, Of
Boonsboro.

Children's Holiday Severely Criti-

Children's Holiday Severely Criti-
cized.
That it is demoralizing to the school
system of Frederick city to permit
pupils to run at large at the Fred
erick Fair grounds is the opinion of
several citizens. In talking with a
reporter for The Frederick Post sew
e-al persons said last night that it
had been the custom to give the stud
cnts of the city nalf day at The
Fair. The boys and girls, it was ex-
planned, roam at large on the grounds,
entirely out of the pale of the infiu-
ence of their teachers.
It was suggested that the children
of the schools of the entire county
be given one whole day at the Fred
erick Fair. This is to be determined
by the school officials, the children
and their parents. On this day the
pupils to be under the supervision of
the teachers of the respective grades.
This, declared one citizen, would con-
vert the Frederick Fair into purely
an educational feature for school
children.
From reports that could be secur-
ed last evening it was estimated that
it costs the taxpayers of the city ap-
proximately 1920 in teachers salar-
les for the four days at the Frederick
Fair. That is: this amount is, paid
out to teachers with no direct result.
Besides, approximately 1,SOO children
of the city are materially effected by
the system of giving half a day for
three days and a whole day on the
fourth.
Another parent declared that the
four days lost at the Fair was not the
only effect. The entire school system
is disorganized for about week fol-
lowing, it was said.
The impressions that school
child gathers at the Fair, when un-
attended by teacher or parent, declar-
ed one man, are not all that could be
desired. The suggestions, it was
said, could be taken for what they
were worth by the people who are in
terested in seeing the schools accom-
plish the purpose for which they are
organized-"th most good for the
pupil"

ces when compared with periods of a
year ago or any previous year.

of the debt and make other improve

ber of prizes awarded for superior

places in the class in which he en-
tered. H. b. Witter and County Com
missioner Frank M. Stevens, both of
Frederick county, carried many
awards.
The various classes in the swine
department were we'll filled this year.

Contest to Raise Standard of Milk

Determined to have an output of the
purest milk possible, appreciating the
need of pure milk production, the White
Cross Company has been offering pre-
miums to local dairymen who deliver
milk to the plant This system was
inaugurated some fifteen weeks ago and
an increased interest has been manifested
until there were over 20 winners in the
recent announcement.
Generally farmer is paid high or
low price for his milk according to the
amount of butter fat it contains Here
tofore meteorological tests were never
made. and not so much attention is gen.
orally paid to cleanliness, and purity as
is now being done at the local plant.
Five samples are taken from the milk
brought in by patrons in five weeks.
The tests are made by Sidney G, Leete.
bacteriologist for the plant, who is a
graduate of Cornell University. IF four
of these samples are below certain
archaeological standard of so many thou
sand bacteria per cubic centimeter, he is
given a premium on every hundred
pounds of milk sent to the plant during
these five weeks. The premium amounts
to ten cents on every hundred pounds of
milk. This is over and above the cur
rent market price, and farmer who is
regular patron at the plant often profits
from ten to twelve dollars in every five
weeks.
The testing began in July, and show
ing that Frederick county farmers have
taken an interest in sanitation, there has
been an increased number of winners
announced in every test. Bacteriologist
Leete said that cleanliness is the first
requisite in reducing the number Of
bacteria in milk. Another precaution
taken for pure milk is the proper cooling
and scalding of all receptacles and uten-
sils. Dust is an enemy of pure milk.
It takes some time for these tests to be
made, as time must be had for the plates
to develop. Manager William j. G.
Reinmuth of the plant, is very much
pleased with the interest the farmers are
taking in the test.
The White Cross plant is offering
these premiums solely to give pure milk
to their customers in Washington and
Baltimore. They will not at present
profit by the plan from monetary stand
point, only receiving the reputation of
handeling pure milk and in time profit
by this.
The company believes that the man
who is careful in the handeling of the
milk should receive more for the product
than the man who does not. Hence
the paying of higher price for the
cleanest milk.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

whats become of Amiesite?" quer-
led the Mayor of the members of the
Board of Aldermen last night at the
regular monthly meeting. The AL
dermen looked around in a puzzled
way and said, I'VE don't know" "That
is just what l would like to know"
doomed Alderman Elmer McC. Phe-
bus, who several days ago in an in
terview frankly admitted that he does
not know when the Court Square paw
ing job will be completed.
For about thirty days the streets
have been closed to the public. All
traffic has been shut off and they
are useless to the city, explained All
derman Phebus, after the meeting. He
intimated that if the work was de-
layed much longer, it would be I'M
possible to complete this winter.
Alderman Phebus said there are
number of fish bait boxes in operation.
A motion was passed ordering the
Mayor to notify the operators of these
boxes to discontinue them or meter
"uld be installed at the expense oe
the bait box operator.
The question of buying stone for
the use of the city das discussed last
night. 1t was the sense of the Board
that stone should be bought from
the company from whom the best
possible material can be secured and
the best deliveries made. G. r. SUM-
mers, through his attorney, ]. F. r.
Heagey, filed a claim for $32.52 for
when he ran into a ditch on Market
street, near Third street, several
weeks ago. The claim was referred
to the committee on claims with pow
er to act.
Two members of the Senior Glass,
Hood College, appeared before the
Board of Aldermen last evening and
filed a request for the use of the City

STOP-LOOK-LISTEN!

There should be solemn warning to
all drivers of motor vehicles in the cir
cumstances which led to the death of
Mrs. Haines Harlan, her two children
and nurse and the serious injury of her
husband and father when the automobile
4 in which they were riding was struck by
rtrain at Singerly, Md, few days
Sgo.
Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are directing the attention of
motorists and all others who use the
public highways to the distressing acci-
dent in an effort to urge persons to first
ascertain whether or not the tracks are
busy before railroad is crossed
1t is reported that when the crossing
at Singerly was approached by the auto
mobile the bell was ringing and that the
machine stopped to heed the warning,
but on looking down the track it was
observed that an approaching freight
train was far enough away to permit the
party to cross. Just as the automobile
was proceeding over the crossing it was
struck by an express train which passed
in an opposite direction. 1t is supposed
that the presence Of the second train
was not known to the i'll fated autoists
They were hurled back in front of the
freight train and the bodies of the women
and children were mangled almost be-
ydnd recognition.
The railroad officials realize that the
action of the father in attempting to
cross ahead of the train was not in the
spirit of chance taker, or to endanger
the lives of those who were nearest and
dearest to him. The circumstances of
1.-TWO trains being in the same crossing
|circuit and going in the opposite direc-
Fr,ion ray not occur again with fatal re-
suits during the existence of the rail
road, but it is frequently the untoward
circumstance which causes railroad ac-
cident. 1t was not due to mechanical
failure that the automobile was struck,
for the crossing was protected by auto
matte signals which were working and
were observed, although the warning
does not seem to have been needed.
The lesson drawn from the accident
by railroad officials is the Importance to
motorists and travellers on the highways
that they refrain from crossing the
tracks in the face of warning signals, for
there may be no way of ascertaining the
imminence of danger and the delay is
| seldom more than few minutes at the
Sgngest.

GREAT FREDERICK FAIR.

available space of ground occupied the
tilty-fourth annual fair of the Frederick
County Agricultural Society. was ushcred
in on Tuesday last, with ideal weather
prevailing. The.exhibits surpassed any
given in former years both as to selection
and numbers.
The live stock, consisting of tho rough
bred of all grades, was the admiration of
all. Poultry in the various classes APP
pealed to the admiration of the many
visitors. The fruit, flowers, vegetable
and household departments were crowded
with the best the fertile fields of our
great county could produce. The ma
chinery department as well us the auto
mobile exhibit was the finest given here
for many years. The Midway was we'll
patronzed, and the iakirs did a rushing
business.
The Agricultural Society were most
liberal both with purses for races and
premiums for the thousands Of exhibits
entered. The attendance was unprcced
ented, and the society deserves 10 be
commended for its excellent arrange
ments for the comfort and pleasure of
many in attendance.

of more than three hundred dollars in
the grandstand and gate receipts at
the Frederick Fair, when compared
with Tuesday a year ago. 1t was the
