Fruits, Jellies, Preserves, Pickles
Etc, For Cecil County Boys
At Camp Meade.

All who wish to contribute any of
the above articles are asked to leave
them with Mrs. Chas. S. Pyle, Rising
Sun, and with Mrs. VIM. Wilson,
Colora. And those who are planning
trips to Camp Meade are asked to
take with them from time to time
such things as are left with these
two ladies so the boys may receive
some of the good things along and
not all at one time, and if those go
ing down will cooperate in this, way
it will save packing and shipping
and also breakage, which might
occur as well as the >delays on ac-
count of the congestion in shipping
at present. Packages may be mark
ed for special ones, but it is to be
hoped that generous supply of
these things all boys like, may be
given for all the Cecil County boys
at Camp Meade.
We do not forget our other Cecil
County boys in other Camps and
trust some of our women may ar
range to receive these things to go
to Admission and elsewhere where our
boys are stationed.

Favors Jail Sentences.

Exasperated beyond further toler-
ance, State Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Baughman has declared in
favor of Jail sentences instead of
fines for the automobile, fools who
will not respect the speed laws and
the regulations designed to protect
the traffic. Colonel Baughman is
convinced that the payment of fines
does not hit the right spot. He be-
lieves languishing in county jails for
several days, perhaps weeks, will
bring the speeders to a realization of
their responsibilities on the high
ways.

A Beefess Day.

The beefess day, tried out recently
by the hotels on the Peninsula,
proved so satisfactory that the hotel
managers will have a beefess day
every week which will be Tuesday.
On this day guests will be provided
with fowl and other substitutes for
beef, so as to allow the government
the opportunity to save for the
soldiers the beef which would other
wise be consumed by our average
citizens on this day. This policy. has
been put into effect all over the
United States and it is estimated that
many hundreds of thousand pounds
of beef will be saved thereby for the
soldier boys.

RAILROAD WRECK AT OXFORD
Fireman Injured-Engines and Cars
DeraiIed and Tracks Torn Up.

A bad wreck occurred in OxforC
yards on Thursday evening of las
week, which resulted in the serious
injury of fireman Joseph J. Albany
the smashing of two engines ant
several cars and large amount oi
other damage, causing delay o.
several hours in train service and re-
quiring gang of 200 men to work
all night before matters were
Strengthened out.
The northbound passenger train
due here at 4.45 p. m. crashed into
locomotive in Oxford yard, thai
had been run out onto the main
track preparatory to being placed on
it's proper storage track for the
night
The engineer of the passenger
train saw the obstruction in time to
apply the air brakes and jump, but
the momentum of the train carried
it into the other locomotive with a
crash. The engine jumped the track
and plowed through freight cars
standing on the side tracks. This
stopped it's progress and caused it
to overturn, pinning fireman Albany
beneath it. In the coaches were
about thirty passengers, who fortu-
nately escaped injury.
1t required about three quarters
of an hour to release the fireman
He was taken to Oakwood Sani-
tarium, where it was found he had
sustained a broken leg, badly lacer-
ated scalp and was seriously scalded
from the waist down.
The clearing up of the wreck was
stupendous task. One engine was
overturned and almost completely
wrecked, and the other one greatly
damaged, baggage and mail coaches
overturned as we'll as freight cars,
and tracks torn up.
At midnight and at six o'clock in
the morning, a lunch prepared by
Landlord Hoffman, was served to
the wrecking crew.
Rough estimates of the damage
done, place the cost of the wreck
at $4,000.

.pucks Numerous On the Flats.

The wisdom of the Federal laws in
protecting migratory birds is evident
in the great number of ducks on our
flats-more than there has been seen
for years. The first three cunning
days saw probably 10000 ducks
killed, and each succeeding cunning
day records good "kills." Owing to
the restricted markets for their sale,
our gunners and dealers are some
times puzzled to care for them

COURSES IN ENGINEERING.
State College Developing Men in Five
Branches Of that Work.

State College Developing Men in Five
Branches Of that Work.
Five different courses in Engineer
ing are being taught at the Mary
land State College. So much prom
Jinence has recently been given to the
development of the college along
agricultural, biological, and chemical
lines that the work of the engineer
ing division is somewhat lost sight
of. AS a matter of fact, the State
College offers degrees in Educational
Engineering, Rural Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Civil En-
gineering and Electrical Engineer
ing. Standard work is being done
in all these departments. The
course in rural engineering is new
and the College is to develop it in
such a way that it's work can be
peculiarly adapted to Maryland.
Maryland offers great problems to
the rural engineer in the building of
sewerage and water systems for its
small towns, the drainage of its
marsh and other lowlands, and in
bettering conditions on the farms.
The development of the new branch
of engineering is along the lines OF
the general policy Of the State Col
lege-to do everything possible to
develop the latent resources of Mary
land and to improve country life.

By order of the Postoffice Depart
ment the weight of parcels for and
from the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, is limited to
pounds instead of 20 as heretofore
The order became effective November

French railway companies will not
carry over their road packages in
