Automobile Owners and Drivers
TAKE NOTICE

Our local authorities for several
months have not strictly enforced
the law with reference to lights on
automobiles when at rest. a State
representative was in town last week
and a number of people paid a hue
for not having their cars lighted
while at rest on the street.
There appears to be tendency on
the part of the State authorities to
enforce this law. Drivers are not
familiar with all automobile laws,
neither are lawyers, but the law
should be enforced, and in view OF
the fact that it has not been for some
time, | feel that the people should
be notified before any arrests are
made.
The law is:
.When at rest, an automobile shall
display at least one light, showing
white to the front and red to the
rear, carried to the left of the motor
vehicle, visible from both front and
rear, for a distance of not less than
two hundred feet"

ORIGIN OF PRESENT
POST OFFICE SYSTEM
Started in a Coffee HOuse-NoW The
Greatest System of Mail Dist11bu-
ton in The Entire World.

II is interesting to know how
great institution like the United
States Postofficc grew from box IN
a coffee house to it's present gigantic
proportions.
At the time of the earlier settle
ment of America, the proprietor OF
popular public house maintained a
free service for his patrons which
consisted of a receptacle where let
ters arriving from abroad were de-
posted to be taken by those to
whom they were addressed,o or carried
to them by their neighbors.
The first legislation on the subject
occurs in the records of the General
Court of Massachusetts for 1888, and
the next in the Colonial Law OF Vlr-
ginia, in 1867.
The former provides that notice
be given that Richard Fairbanks. his
house in Boston, is the place appoln-
ted for all letters which are brought
heyond the seas or are to be sent
thither to be left with him, as he Is
to take care that they be delivered OF
sent according to the directions, and
he is allowed for every letter pen
ny, and must answer all miscarriages
through his own neglect in this
kind"
The Colonial Law of Virginia re-
quires every planter to provide
messenger to convey the dispatches
as they arrived to the next planta
ton, and so on, on pain of forfeitins
a hogshead of tobacco for default
The next step in the development
Of the postofice was the granting o1
a franchise in 1872 to Thos. Neale
authorizing him to set up a post sys
tenn for the Colonies for period OF
FL years.
In ITO by act of Parliament. the
Postoffice Department of the colonies
was taken over by the British Gov
ernment During the next fort!

Deputy Postmaster-General for thu

Public Health Nurses
Save Many Babies

Most important among the Things
a community can do to save its quota
of the hundred thousand lives is 20
protect its children by employing
public health nurses, according 20
statement issued today by the Chl-
dren's Bureau Of the United States
Department of Labor.
MANY parents have learned from
the weighing and measuring test'
which is being carried on In Cam
bridge as a part of the national test
of the welfare of American chlldren'
of their children's special needs.
They can do much more to meet
these needs and to bring underweight
children up to the average II they
have the support of public health
nurses. who can look after the we'll
/ beins of the children found by the
test to be undernourished, and pro
tact from illness other children who
are now well.
England has set it as her standard
to have one such nurse for every
500 births reported annually. With
the Act in force in England requiring
that a public health official be notl-
fed within SO hours after the birth
of a child. and an adequate force OIL
nurses, it is possible for every mo-
ther to receive the immediate at
tention which may be the means OF
saving a child's life.
New Zealand, which has secured
and maintained for number OF
wears lower infant mortality rates
than those recorded by any other
country, has made special effort to
send throughout its islands qualified
nurses whose duty it is to give gratis
to any member of the community de-
string their services sound, reliable
instruction, advice and assistance on
matters affecting the health and
weIlbeing of women and their chill
dren.
New Zealand's infant death rate is
scarcely more than half that OF the
limited States. Even under the strain
of war. England reduced her rate IL
I1916 to 9 points below that for the

Airplanes Need Castor Oil
And Boy Scouts Grow 1t

The Boy Scouts of America are
also raising the castor oil bean. This
is by Government request.
Their enthusiasm in increasing the
available amount of castor oil in the
country was awakened when it was
found that the Government needed
it for the army airplanes which some
day will be flying by thousands over
the German lines.
w. w. Stockbridge, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, says it is hoped
to secure a large crop of castor beans
to be used in the production of oil
necessary for the airplane service.

"KU KLUX KLAW
GUSTS ENEMY ALIEN
Patriotic Kent Islanders Drive Baltl-
morean From Their NeiShborhood
First Warning Ignored.

The famous ku kluX klan of Re
construction days, which, according
to dispatches, has been revived III
the South to show idlers and pro-
Germans the evil of their ways, has
found it's way to Maryland.
A dispatch from Queenstown,K Kent
Island, says that Philip Hecht, an
enemy alien, who recently moved to
the Island from Baltimore, was wait
ed upon by a delegation of islanders
and forced to leave.
Hecht is said to be registered as
! an enemy alien in Baltimore. Last
/ fall Hecht and his wife moved to
Wye Mills and took up their resi-
dence with Mrs. Hecha's parents, Mr..
and Mrs James E. Goodwin.
Since making his home in Queen
! Anne's, it is said, Hecht has been
very indiscreet in his remarks about
| the war and about the Government
His alleged wild talk aroused the ire
of the patriotic islanders and an in
dignation meeting was held last
week. At this meeting a delegation
of prominent residents was appoint
ed to call upon Hecht and notify him
that his presence in the neighboT-
/ hood was undesirable.
Last Tuesday night the delegation
waited upon Hecht at the Goodwin
home, and politely notified him to
leave the island Hecht, it is said,
was equally polite, but Informed the
committee that he would think it
over" Next morning Hecht was seen
going about his work as usual, and
apparently making no preparation to
travel.
This fact was reported to the COM
mittee and another call was made
upon Hecht. This time the delega-
ton, it is said, was not so polite
What transpired at the meeting was
not made public in detail, but the
result was that Hecht accompanied
the delegation to Queenstown, where
he was given n ticket to Baltimore
and put on the steamer for that city
The committee waited on the wharf
until the boat pulled out TO be GER
tain that Hecht did not change hi:
mind about the journey.
Hecht's parting words, it is said
were that he was just as pleased tt
leave as his neighbors were to have
him go. His wife accompanied him
and, it is said, was accorded courte
Gus treatment by the delegation.

plane engines, and for this reason the
Wal Department finds it necessary
to secure much larger supplies OF
castor oil than have hitherto been
available.
The Boy Scouts are interested in
the castor bean plant because OF the
great service which it can render to
our aviators, and are already conf
dent of producing a large crop.

In order to husband our resources

Without fats, people weaken and
waste away. The armies must have
fats to keep up the fight.
Put the American people as a ma
tion need not worry about their own
lack of fats, for the average consump.
ticn per person in this country is
three and one-half ounces a day,
while two ounces is quite adequate
to sustain health and vigor, and in all
probability better health and more
vigor will result from a diminished
use of fats.
1t is our soldiers, sailors and the
allies about whom we need worry.
France and England are short of fats,
terribly short, and America must
make up that shortage, cut of her
own over.abundance.
If every person in America saves
one ounce of fat day we can ship
fats enough for our soldiers, sailors
and allies.
One-thir6 of an ounce of fats meas
ured in bacon amounts to just about
two thin slices of bacon. Giving up
two slices of bacon morning does
not seem much of a hardship when
we realize what vital necessity it
is to keeping up the health and vigor
of the men behind the guns yet that
two slices of bacon is one-third of
the ounce you are trying to save.
But don't make the mistake of
thinking you are saving animal fats
for the soldiers when you don't have
bacon for breakfast, IL you would not
have had it anyway. Saving means
the actual giving up Of something you
are actually in the habit of using.
Bullets and bacon! II you are not
using bullets then send your bacon to
some one who is using them.

We are paying nearly six per cent in
