UNION HOSPITAL REPORT.
Cecretary Issues Statement OF Work
Done the Past Year At
Institution.

The eighth annual report of Secre-
tary Howard Bratton, of the Union
Hospital of Cecil County, located at
Elkton, shows the total number of
admissions in 1916 to have been
$50, which is the highest number
since the establishment of the hos
pital. Exclusive of this number,
270 patients were treated in the
Dispensary Service, all previous
records in this department being
likewise exceeded. These figures
indicate a very satisfactory contin-
uous growth in hospital work. The
daily average Of patients under
treatment was "a. The register
shows the total number of admis-
sions for the years of operation to
be 1851.
The Treasurer's report shows a
comfortable balance. The annual
financial statements have never been
marred by any debt or deficit, save
in 1915, when the appropriation
from the State of Maryland was not
promptly received.
BY the will Of the late lamented
DR.. Charles M. Ellis, former Direc-
tor, the hospital received, last year,
a legacy of the value Of $4,000 in the
stock of "The Scott Fertilizer Com
pany" of Elkton. Maryland, to be
added to the endowment fund. This
sum, together with the "B. F. Cham
bers Memorial Fund" makes the
of the Endowment total
over $4,000. Some plan must be
devised to make the fixed State and
County appropriations, plus the re-
ceipts from pay patients, meet the
current expenses, and thus make
possible the application of the in
come from the Endowment Fund to
new and permanent improvements,
Four hundred dollars were received,
last year, from the DR.. Ellis fund;
this is on time certificate of deposit
and does not figure in the Treasur-
er's report.

Patriotism In Our Public Schools.

The State Board of Education has
passed a resolution which has been
transmitted through the county SUI
perintendents to all county boards
of education. The resolution reads:
Resolved, That the State Super
intendent be requested to communi-
cate with the county superintendents
in the State, and recommend to them
that the teachers be advised that in
the judgment of this Board there
should be some exercise in connec-
tion with the opening of the daily
sessions of their schools to promote
patriotism, such as saluting the flag,
singing the National hymn, or other
features designed to keep before the
children their duty to their country"

HOW TO FLY THE AMERICAN
FLAG.
Superintendent OF Library and War
Records Tells the Right Way
To Display Old Glory.

Display your f1ag!" is the i'm
pulse of the day. Display your
flag property" ought to be the in
junction, for it detracts greatly from
the display to have Old Glory flung
to the breeze improperly.
The flag should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor be allowed up
after sunset. In the navy the colors
are hoisted, in ordinary circum-
itances, at A. M.
At Morning and Evening Colors"
1T forts and military posts civilian
spectators should stand at attention
and uncover during the playing of
The Star-Spangled Banner"
The flag should never be allowed
to touch the ground and should
never be raised or lowered by any
mechanical appliance.
When the national and State or
other flags are flown together the
national flag should be on the right
side of the building or lawn.
When the flag is used as banner,
that is, suspended on a rope across
4 street, the union, or field, should
fly to the north in streets running
EAST and west and to the east in
treets running north and south.
The flag should always be flown
from staff or mast and should
not be fastened to the side of
building, platform or scaffolding. In
no circumstances should the flag be
lraped around pillars, or against
rails or balustrades Flags were
made originally for the purpose of
being flown and to use them in any,
other manner is to misuse them. If
staple decorations are desired, red,
white and blue bunting properly
draped will give better effect than
4 draped flag.
The flag should never be used as a
cover over table, desk or box, or
where anything can be placed upon
it.
When flags are used in an unveil-
.ng of statue or monument they
should not be allowed to fall to the
ground, but should be carried aloft
20 wave out, forming a distinctive
feature during the remainder Of the
ceremony.
When the flag is flown at half staff
as sign of mourning it should be
hoisted to full staff at the end of the
'uneral.
To fly flag at half staff it must
first be raised to full staff and then
owered.
On Memorial Day the flag should
fly at half staff from sunrise to noon
and full staff from noon to sunset.
There are no Federal or other
laws compelling the observance of
these rules, the majority Of which
are those of the Society of Patriotic
Decorations and Civic Improvement
of Washington, as published in the
book "The Stars and Stripes" by
Charles W. Stewart, superintendent
of the Library and War Records.

CANAL COMPANY MUST PAY.
Government Wins Suit For Divi.
dends On Stock.

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals at Philadelphia in an
opinion by Judge Mcpherson sus-
tains verdict for $63,924 obtained
by the United States in the Federal
Court in Delaware, against the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Company, the money representing
dividends the company declared on
its stock in the years 1878, 1875 and
1875. Many years before the Gov
ernment had acquired stock in the
company in order that it might be
in more formable position to pro
vide national defense measures, if
necessary and also for internal i'm
provements for our own commerce
1t was not until November, 1911
that the Government discovered that
these dividends, declared 38 years
before, had never been paid to 1t
An inspection of the company's file
revealed forged vouchers for the
three dividends, purporting to have
been signed by Government officer
and later a former employe of tht
company admitted that he and thS
then treasurer of the canal compan
had embezzled large sum of none
during these years; that no notice o.
the dividends had been sent to the
United States, and that no payment
had been made to the Government
up to the time he left the company's
2mploy in 1885.

Met With Serious Accident.

William Ryan, son of contractor
W. L. Ryan of this town, met with a
serious accident Friday afternoon,
while at work on the tower of the
plant at Broad Creek sand pit,
near North East. He was assisting
in the placing of an immense 95-ft.
conveyor belt on its pulley, when the
high wind prevailing tore the belt
from the pulley, carrying the young
man with it. He fell distance OF
fourteen feet, landing on the con-
crete floor of the wheel pit. When
picked up by his fellow workmen,
one of whom was in the pit at the
time, it was found he was badly cut
about the face and complained of
his arm and leg. Brought home by
auto, his injuries were attended to
by physician. The next day he was
taken to Port Deposit and an X-ray
photograph revealed a fracture OF
the elbow. On Sunday afternoon he
was taken to a Baltimore hospital
where further X-rays revealed a
fractured knee-cap in addition to a
fracture of the elbow. The young
man is getting along as we'll as
could be expected, but is necessarily
in for long seige, as the knee will
have to remain in plaster cast for
six weeks. While his injuries are
of a very serious nature, it is a
that he escaped with his life.

LAD LOSES LIFE.
Fire On New London Farm Results
In Death OF Boy.

ANOJs
The barn on the farm of Benjamin
Hickey, near New London, Fa., was
totally destroyed by lire on Wednes-
day afternoon of last week. The
flames were discovered by an Aid
Society boy who made his home with
the family. The lad ran at once
and notified Mrs. Hickey and her
daughter, who were the only mem
bers of the family at home. BY the
time neighbors were aroused all the
buildings on the premises were on
fire and beyond all control. The lit
tie lad was quite herolc and did his
best to get all the live stock out of
the barn, and in doing so his cloth
ing caught fire. He ran to creek
nearby and jumped in, but was so
badly burned that he died in the
evening. A brand new Ford auto
mobile which had only been deliver
ed about week ago was burned and
this was not covered by any insur
ance. One horse and thirty-nine pigs
were also consumed, as well as
several hundred bushels Of potatoes
and about two hundred bushels of
wheat that Mr.. Hickey had measur-
ed up the day before to deliver to
the railroad. Practically everything
was destroyed in both the house and
barn. The property was only parti-
ally covered by insurance.

A Sunday Moving.

Rev. Alexander Thomson was not
a little shocked Sunday morning
when coming from church to find a
monster moving van backed up to his
door and the drivers busy unloading
furniture and hustling it into the
house, just as though it were week
day and the house were not the par
sonage. Parson Thomson could do
nothing but make the best of it how
ever, for the van had started from
Beverley, N. j., Friday morning and
had been lost on the way, and stalled
in the mud near Jennersville. Under
such circumstances, it came pretty
nearly under the classification of a
work of necessity and mercy. -

THREATENING FIRE IN ELKTON.
Blaze In Negro Section Spreads And
AN Appeal Is Made For Aid.

The town of Elkton narrowly
escaped a confagration Saturday
afternoon when, with the wind blow
ing almost a gale from the north
west, fire broke out in the thickly
settled portion of Collins avenue,
occupied by negro residents.
The fire destroyed six frame dwell
lings, owned by Samuel ]. Keys. A
building owned by Nathan Karl, oc-
cupied as a barber shop and restaur
ant, was badly damaged, as were
several other dwellings and out
buildings. The wind carried the
burning embers over into the resi-
Dental section on East Main street,
and it was then that the fire assumed
serious proportions.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
and the barn on the property of
Chief Judge Albert Constable, and
the homes of Henry Vinsinger and
Mrs. Henry H. Gilpin were set on
fire by flying embers and the town
authorities became seriously alarmed
and asked aid of Newark, Del, and
Chesapeake City. The fire depart
ments of both towns responded in
record time.
After a stubborn fight the flames
were gotten under control. The
damage to the Methodist Church
was not heavy, the flames being con-
fined to the belfry. In responding
to the alarm, Jacob ]. Minister, Of
Elkton, was knocked down by one
of the auto fire trucks and badly
injured.
