Friendsville Delegation Here.

A representative delegation of bust
ness men and farmers from Friends
vile and vicinity visited Oakland Mon
day for the purpose of interviewing the
Board of County Commissioners relative
to the building of State Aid road from
Friendsville up the north prong OF Bear
Greek to connect with the State road
at the Bear Greek bridge, that route
being favored by some of the Friends
vile people as against the route recently
selected by the way of Elder Hill and

routes be surveyed by the State Roads
engineering corps and the one selected
that is recommended by the Roads
Commission.

TYPHOIDFEVERI In
CRELLIN CHECKED
State Health Officer Riley Vacci-
mated 1872 There Last Week.

DR.. Robert H. Riley, Deputy State
Health Officer, First Sanitary District,
with headquarters in Cumberland re-
turned there last Tuesday night from
Crellin, where he had been called to in
augurate fight against an epidemic of
typhoid fever among employees of the
Kendall Lumber Company and men,
bers of their families. Mrs. Charles
Ream, wife of the manager of the com
pany, is among the stricken. 1t was
thought at first the disease could be
stamped out without trouble, but its
spread became alarming and the aid of
the State Board of Health was sought
in combating it.
DR.. Riley began a sweeping investi-
cation of the town and for the first
time known in Western Maryland was
given the privilege of going into the
schools where he administered the
typhoid serum to all the school children
and members of the Kendall Lumber
Co.. and their employees who had not
been stricken. In all. 1872 persons were
vaccinated.
DR.. Riley said that Crellin is the first
town in Western Maryland to comply
to the letter with the regulations re-
garding sanitation as laid down by the
State Board of Health and he believes
the epidemic has been gotten under
control. The town started a general
cleanup campaign which has been con-
tinued and every precaution is being
taken and the advice that DR.. Riley
gave out is being followed very closely
A sample of the drinking water used by
the residents of Crellin was taken and
analysed but it was found to be pure
and no trace as to where the fever got
its start has been discovered. The in
vestigation will continue, however, in
order to clear up the mystery.
DR.. Riley was accompanied to Crellin
by William A. Gunther, bacteriologist
of Cumberland.
Dr. Riley in speaking of the work,
confidently predicted the attitude of
the Crellin school will go long way as
an example to other communities. The
visit of the health officer was the sec
ond in the past ten days, the first being
the occasion of the innoculation of all
the employees of the Kendall Lumber
Company, and much credit was given
these men and their employers for the
way in which the health departments
recommendation in the anti-typhoid
campaign have been carried out.
The same measures that have been
adopted by the enterprising people Of
the vicinity visited. have been largely
put in practice in several other towns
in the district and in all homes where
conditions conducive to typhoid prevails.

Biggest Cattle Show in America
This Year Predicted for the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 4
to 9--AII Records to Be Broken
In the Swine Show.

INDICATIONS are that the cattle
show at the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept. 4 to 8, will be the largest ex-
position Of its kind in America this
year. Last year the Hamline cattle
show was the largest in the country,
and more entries have been promised
in the last few weeks than were OBJ
tanned a year ago.
The splendid crop, conditions in the
Northwest, and the greater attention
which is being paid to pure-bred live.
stock, are said to be the principal rea-
sons for the interest which is being
taken in the cattle show at the Min
nesota State Fair. Breeders in other
parts of America are desirous Of meet
ing the farmers of the Northwest, to
sell them the pure-bred stock which is
being bought in such numbers to raise
the standard of livestock breeding in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North
and South Dakota.

be more familiar with the kinds of
horses which bring the most money on
the market.

CHANGE IN POSTAL SAVINGS.

Larger postal deposits will now be
accepted at the post office. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings Act
just approved by President Wilson.
A postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to 81 600
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his credit.
This enlargement of postal savings
thousands of depositors who have al
ready reached the old $500 limit and
are anxious to entrust more of their
savings to Uncle Sam. Another feat
ure of the amendment that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from de-
positor monthly. Under the old law
only 500 could be deposited in
calender month. The amendment
abolishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than ha1f-a-
million depositors have over eighty
million dollars standing to their credit,
still it has fallen far short of meeting
the full demands of the public be-
cause of the restrictions which have
now been eliminated. Postmaster
General Burleson and Third Assist
a modification of the limitations and
ant Postmaster General Dockery have
been tireless in their efforts to secure
the new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them.

GEN. SMITH-DORRIEN
A PICTURESQUE FIGURE
COmWnndeF OF DritIAh Forces in
South Africa Finds Army Life
Avenue Of Adventure.

(Girdrd, IN PhiIddeIphiG Public Led0er.)
Gen. Sir Horace Smith Dorrien, whose
appointment to the command of the
forces operating in South Africa is an
nounced, is one of the most picturesque
figures In British military circles.
Romance hovered near him at birth.
and one has only TO listen to the
stories told by Tommy" Atkins. who
loves him as few high army officers
are loved. to believe that she has
never been far from him since he first
commanded a platoon.
His birthplace. the Scilly Isles. is a
very repository of Arthurian relics
and legends, and in the old Abbey of
Tresco. dating from SS6, where he
entered the world. his brother holds
feudal sway as the King" of the
islands.
Army life has been one grand ave-
nue. of adventure to Smith-Dorrien.
To start a conversation with any vet
eran OF the Zulu campaign is to hear
again the story OF his exploit in out
sprinting the fast-running Zulus over
a long-distance, after giving his horse
to a wounded fellow officer.
To talk of the incidents Of the South
African war with Briton or Boer for
any length of time is to invite a reci-
tation of his reckless gallop across the
whole front at Doom Kopje to turn
back the Gordons and the Canadians
who had got out of touch with the re-
mainder of the brigade.
Asked why he had taken such a risk,
he replied: We'll, they had to be stop
ped, and / couldn't very we'll send any
one else to face that fire, could II" He
is loved for these things by Mr.. Atkins,
but beyond all, he is loved by his SOL
diers because he trusts them, a fact
ent occasions. Why he was recalled to
England from France last June IS not
known to the world, but what is known
is that when retreat was made impera-
tive he directed one of the most mas
terly retreats In the annals of warfare.

other folk, has just about or idea Of
an education.
Every advertisement by business
men rings some sort Of variation on
these three ideas. Sometimes the
business mans expression Of what he
wants is hazy, and includes every
thing from a "well dressed young
man" to cone with pleasing man
ners" or the stereotyped plea for an
engaging personality" But he has
an idea of what he wants, and can
soon detect it when he sees it.
The beauty Of these few theories
is that they do not rule out the man
who is going in for the professions,
or who wants to do the sort of work
that usually isn't thought Of when
vocational training" is mentioned.
They are the demands which modern
civilization, and our habit Of rub
bing shoulders with each other, and
getting down to business in our
work, have placed upon us. They
are the demands which public
schools, sooner or later, must meet.

GOVERNMENT WELFARE WORK

Much of the discussion at the con-
vention this week of the National
Civic Federation will concern well
fare work for employees. 1t is graft
flying to know that the District sec
tion of the Woman's Department will
! be able to point to effective work
along this line, work has been done
among Government employees, that
stands as an example for private
employers.
On Tuesday delegates are to be
taken down to the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing and served
with a luncheon similar to that
served daily to the hundreds of
women employed at the bureau. Rest
rooms, roof garden, and the dining
room were made possible through the
efforts of the District of Columbia
section and the cooperation of Di-
rector Ralph. Rest rooms also have
been provided in the Treasury De-
partment and Government Printing
Office.
The Government is not, in all re-
spects, a model employer. Some of
its buildings are not models of
proper housing for workers. I'm
fortunately plans for the comfort of
employees even more extensive than
those at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, worked out for the
new Interior Department building,
had to be abandoned because the de-
cision to construct the building of
stone increased the cost so that the
recreation plans had to be aban-
doned.
But the Interior Department, it
should be noted, is responsible for
the Home Club, where the plan of
supplying social recreation for the
many intelligent workers who come
here with no social affiliations, is
being worked out.
The part the Woman's Section has
played in the attention to the COM
fort of women employed by the Gov
ernment has not been widely herald
ed, because the women have pre-
ferred to do the work and let the
credit go to the employers. But as
the convention of this organization
approaches there can be no harm in
recording a city's gratitude for what
it has done for this city.
The Washington times., 1916-01-16
EDUCATIONAL HORSE SENSE

One more suggestion is engendered
by the declaration of public school
officials that they intend to teach
pupils how to study. That idea gives
rise to the further idea one pupil
might be taught where to study;
and, after that, all that is needed
to complete the cycle is a course in
"How to get along with people"
These three ideas lay somewhere
near the foundation of vocational
training. Educational quacks realize
the great gap, that grownups are
bound to feel if these essentials
have been neglected in a school
course, and they supply the need, by
patent medicine volumes, and even in
correspondence courses, under such
attractive guise as mental eff
cheney" and developing personality"
All this sounds good, and clubs
that are going in for lecture courses
on that sort of thing may be ex-
cused if they go sky-scraping fol-
titles. But, getting down to bed
rock, the young fellow who comes
out of college with the ability tC
grasp an idea, and to concentrate or
that idea, and to put it across tC
