When new corn becomes available

to feed hogs too heavily on It At first.

Advanced steps in the interest Of
public health have been taken by the

Ohio and the Pittsburgh market
The new cars, which were built IN

PUPILS HEALTH TO BE CON
SERVED
Members OF School Board and Fred.
erick County Medical Association
Meet Together to Devise Plans far
Systematic Health Supervision,

The correction of physical and
mental defects of the children oe
Frederick county was the theme ~
the conference between the member
OF the Frederick county School Boar5
and the Frederick County Medical A.
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon. Tho
scheme is to unearth mental and pbv-
steal defects of the children of IN,
county schools and present the DAT,
TO the parents. who, in many cases
are entirely unaware OF any defect
in their children The plan has M,
been definitely worked out in its on
tirety.
The meeting was a regular one of
the School Board.
Il is not the idea of the Scboo1
Commissioners to force the childror
to be examined or to compel the par
ents to have their children examined
or any like scheme. The idea is m
cooperate with them in remedvino
conditions which have slipped the
eyes of the parents.
The physical and mental conditio,
has much to do with the results thai
a student secures in attending the
schools of the city and the county. A
test was made in Virginia. Children
known to be defective physically are
treated and others known to be af-
fected similarly physically were no.
treated. The result was that thosa
treated passed examinations and the
others failed.
The school commissioners will sim
ply advise the parents of the defects
Of the children. so that they can take
whatever action they desire toward
having their children treated.
Census reports are still coming IN
and are being filed with the superin-
tendent of county schools. It is be-
lieved that the entire census will be
compiled for action by the last of
next week.
The question of appointing truan.
officers was taken up yesterday. bu.
nothing definite was done. Il is prac-
tically certain that truant officers viii
be appointed to take care Of the chit
dren who fail to attend the sessions
Of schools in the county. The school
commissioners were pleased with the
comparatively small number OF child
dren between the ages of S and Is
years. inclusive. who are not attend
ing school, They had thought that a
much larger number would fail to
enroll They take this as an indica-
ton that the parents are cooperating
with the school officials in the en-
forcement Of the compulsory school
law.
4 committee from Woodvine was
before the board yesterday at the
meeting and filed a petition for the
consolidation OF four schools in tina.
section 1t was pointed out that in
some Of the schools about 30 per cent
Of the patrons desired the consolida-
ton Of the schools. The commission
ers took no action in regard to the
consolidation oN the schools. This
shows that the patrons of the various
schools of the county are DESTROYS Of
consolidating the schools in the coun-
". The combined enrolment of tha
four schools at Woodville is 24l.

The Leopard
By GEORGE FITCH Author of At Good Old Siwash"

The leopard is very extensive cat with the disposition of a bottle of vitriol It is also known in Africa and India the Cheetah and acquired q considerable reputation under this name by be- ing shot by Kermit Roosevelt in 1909.
 The leopard grows in different sizes, the larger being meaner than the smaller because their capacity larger. \ large leopard is nearly five long, exclusive of his tail, which continues 0 the for three feet more, mad all the way. He is buff coored and is protusey deco rated with beautifully designed black spots. He is the spottedest animal there is. The coach dog is monotonous compared with him. Where the leopard got his spots a mystery, but it is supposed that they are the spots which he has knocked off his enemies his long and hostile career.
 Sometimes these spots large that there is not for all spot q leopard In those cases the animal is solid black. If there is anything less cheerful than q spotted leopard in lonely place it is black leopard. It is like meet ing the funeral before the disease begins.
 The leopard lives by himself in the jungle and plains and spends a busy life killing things. He kills anything that isn't than twice his size. but is extremely partial dogs. A dog is dessert a leopard For this reason, in many Indian viii lages where there is dog and city official with wire loop and caged wagon, the leopard is highly regarded and is allowed himself
 The leopard will also kill by jumping upon him from behind and biting him in the neck. It is always safest when meeting leopard to examine

Responsibility for Fires

At recent mayors conference held Auburn, New York, Joseph O. Hammtt of the New York City fire prevention bureau stated that more than prevented if greater responsibility, least some responsibility, placed upon property owners MT. Hammitt would compel any whose prem ises fire started pay eXtinguishing it and also any damage the property of others from the fire. MT. Hammtt said that the New York charter already has a provision holding the of building, or others responsible for the viola suits in damages from fires injuries to fremen.
 We believe the sweeping plan of Mr. Hammtt should be modified and applied The owner of the premises where fire originates should oe held responsible, for damages from fire in every stance, but in cases where it may be shown thai the exercise of a reasonable foresight might have prevented fire. The of the premises should has been safely wired. whether the flies deec- tive; whether the construction conforms in all re- spects to fire prevention regulations. But he could not be expected take precaution against every of a hundred carelessness by a tenant or the employees of tenant. which might result in fire. Nor should he be held responsible for dam ages growing of ncendary fires.
 In European countries where fires are much less frequent than in this country, the held in cases of ncendiary suspected incendiary fires We take thought of the sufferers. Our laws ar range generally for aftermath of fire.
