PORT DEPOSIT OBSERVES THE
FOURTH.
Big Time In the Old Town BY the
Riverside.

l.
Port Deposit held its fifth annual
Ipatroitic celebration on the Fourth
and did itself proud. The town was
in holiday attire, residences and
places of business being profusely
decorated with flags, bunting, ETC.,
the national colors greeting the eye
in all directions. In the center of
town a Court of Honor had been
erected, the whole presenting very
pretty appearance.
All roads led to Port Deposit, and
by the time the parade started in the
morning, the town was thronged
with people.
Forming at the lower end of town
at about ten O'Clock the line of march
was to Rock Run and back. In line
were the Port Deposit, Rising Sun,
Perryville and Oakryn Cornet Bands,
decorated autos, floats, horsemen,
footmen, ETC. The parade disbanded
in Center Square shortly before the
noon hour.
tests in which both girls and boys
took part, were held in the river, an
amusing CREASED pig chase held on
the ball field, and game of base
ball between Rising Sun and picked
team representing Port Deposit. The
ball game was good one up to the
fourth inning, when the Port Deposit
boys went to pieces and Rising Sun
walked away with the game. The
creased pig was released twice and
led his pursuers an amusing chase
before being caught and held, slip
ping from the clutches of would-be
captors times without number.
The evening parade had numerous
comic features, AND the first prize
was awarded Riverside Cornet Band,
of Port Deposit, which appeared in
ludicrous grab, representing the
Little German Band" Hugh Falls
acted as leader and was awarded first
prize for most grotesque costume.
Other prizes we're awarded for
best decorated dwelling, place of
business, automobile, float, swim
ming events, etc.
The Court of Honor was strung
with electric lights and presented a
beautiful appearance at night, as
did the places of business and dwell
lings with their decorations and
illumination, the Riverside Theatre
being especially pretty.
Taken all in all it was a great day
for Port Deposit. and the Patriotic
Association, under whose direction
the celebration was held, has every
reason to feel proud of the result of
their efforts.

TUBERCULOSIS MOVEMENT IN
CREASED 1900 PER CENT
IN IL YEARS.
New Directory Lists 300 Agencies
Engaged In Consumption
Campaign.

Statistics made public today by
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis show that nearly 5000 agencies
are now listed in the fight against
tuberculosis in the United States, an
increase of 1900 percent since 1904,
when the national warfare on this
disease was started. These figures
are taken from a new tuberculosis
directory just issued by the Associa-
ton.
The list includes 557 sanatoria
and hospitals, 158 tuberculosis
boarding houses, 80 hospitals for the
insane 35 penal institutions making
special provision for tuberculosis,
455 dispensaries, 80 open air
schools, and 1924 anti-tuberculosis
associations and committees. To
these are added 158 Canadian insti
tutions and associations, making q !.
total of 3087. The directory also
gives summary of municipal and
state legislation ION tuberculosis.
When the National Association
was formed in 1904 and the first list
of agencies was printed, only 1S3
organizations and institutions were
found. The second edition of the
Directory in 1908 reported 649 diff
ferent agencies; and 1440 were list
ed in the third edition published in
1911. On the basis of the latter
figures, the number Of agencies in
the anti-tuberculosis movement has
increased 115 per cent. in the last
five years.
