Attack of Knitting Nerves.

Now it's knitting nerves, caused by
concentration of mind and hand on the
needles. Thousands of women in New
York are afflicted, according to Or. Louis
R. Welzmiller. physical director of the
West Side Y. M. C. A., who adds that
his only patients showing symptoms of
the new wartime complaint have been
women. Doctor Welzmiller says that
there is liable to be an epidemic of "knit-
ting nerves" unless knitters learn to
knit properly. He offers the following
advice as remedy:
Don't hunch over your knitting; sit
upright, and when your mind tells you
you have knitted enough, quit. There
are 365 days in a year, and you can't fin
sh sweater in day, no matter how
much you love soldier or sailor"
DR.. C. P. Christensen of the Psyche
logical Research society concurred in the
predictions of Doctor Welzmiller. He
attributed the nerve scourge to the fail
ure of women folk to comprehend "the
vibrations of nerve laws" He continu-
ed: 1.-The women are overworking them
selves. Knitting has become a craze.
Nerves cannot stand this strain. "-Ex.

80 Fail To Report.

Last Friday the names of 80 young
men were published in the Frederick pa
pers. these being charged with not an
swering Questionnaires. According to
the law, these names were handed to the
sheriff, and it is his duty to arrest said
offenders. A big percentage OF these
were names of Thurmont boys. But why
did they not answer? Not because they
wished to get away from service, but be-
cause for months they have been in the
army, enlisting, instead of waiting for
the draft. They are scattered thruout
the States In many camps and to get
mail to them has been a problem. Just
recently one of them in q letter home Of
fered SIS for letter from Thurmont
Although gone about month and twen-
ty or more letters sent him he had re-
ceived none.
To those who read these names and
gre not acquainted with the facts, it
would appear as though Thurmont was
full of slackers. Our boys are doing
their duty, and it:is rather unpleasant
to see their names published after the

Congressman Frederick n. Zilhman

the suffrage amendment, his name
being the last on the roll call, and the
amendment having carried in the
House by the bare constitutional ma
jority.

Another Cold Spell.

Just about the time it was thought the
skating rink was in danger of becoming
overheated, and the sidewalks clear OF
ice, snow began falling and from early
Friday evening until late at night one OF
the worst of snow, hail and rain comoi-
nation storms of the winter set upon US.
The snow falling on icy pavements
made walking very dangerous, and many
were the feet that went into the air and
sent the body sprawling in the snow. We
took our first tumble and in less than ten
minutes three others tried to smash
the ice where we failed. The ice remain
ed unbroken.
Early Saturday morning cold wave
came sweeping along and by noon the
streets were coated with two inches or
more of solid ice, much of which still re-
mains. Sunday morning the mercury
was within one degree of the zero mark.
Monday evening snow began falling a.
gain and continued until Tuesday morn
ing. This was of the soft variety and
mixed with some rain and hail. in depth
it was about eight inches.
The great amount of ice already on ne
ground and the snowfall of Monday night
put the trolley line about Frederick to
the bad. The 6 o'clock car from Thur
mont did reach its destination until near
9 O'Clock and no car got to Thurmont un.
til after 10 O'Clock,
One of the cars on South Market st.
got crosswise on the bridge and came
near tax ing header into Carroll Creek.
Traffic over the w. M. was not inter-
rupted by the snow to any extent.

Senator Matthias Paralyzed.

On Thursday evening of last week,
Mr.. John P. T. Matthias received stroke
of paralysis while he was attending the
furnace fire at his home prior to retiring
for the night. As he fell, he called for
help, and Miss Maud Baker who is en-
ployed in the home, ran to his assistance.
Mrs. Matthias a few hours earlier had
left to visit friends in Baltimore, Mr..
Matthias accompanying her to the depot.
Miss Baker summoned DR.. E. c. Kefau-
yer and on his arrival the two assisted
the unfortunate man upstairs. His en-
tire right side was affected and he has
been unable to talk.
While there has been some improve
ment, his condition is yet critical. His
sudden illness was great shock to his
wife and son, and to his many friends
here and throughout the State.

St. Johns has given a Christmas cantata
early in January, and to these the COM

story of the other Wise Men. who tar
ried on the way to give help to the sick

when the rope at one end slipped, the
eavy timber falling on Mr. BensaPs
land and almost completely severing
|one of the fingers. DR.. Bridgers, of
Blue Ridge Summit, was summoned, and
responded at once. 1t seemed at first
that it would not be possible to save the
finger, but at this time so successful has
the dressing been that great hopes are
held out that it may be saved. The ac-
cident prevented Mr.. Bensal from taking
his part as one of the Kings in the Can
tata on Saturday evening.

Mail BY Truck.

1t is the purpose of the Postoffice
Department to start mail truck SER
vice between Cumberland, Nd, and
Pittsbure, Pa, just as soon as possible,
Congressman Frederick N. zihlman
was informed today.
Bids for hauling the service were
received up until January =, much
the same as bids are received for the
handling of the star route service,
and are now being considered.
Some of the bids already gone over
are considered too high by the divi-
sion of rural mails in the office of the
Fourth assistant Postmaster General, 3,
and the supply Division is receiving
bids from automobile manufacturers
on trucks.
In the event that all the bids are
considered too high on any OF the
proposed routes the Government VIII
buy trucks and operate the mail SER
vice.
A number of intercity routes have
been mapped out and motor trucks
will be put in operation as soon as
practicable, and Mr.. Zihlman is in
formed that an effort will be made to
open the Cumberland-Pittsburg sell
vice within very short time.
There is an urgent need for mail
truck service in various sections on
account of number of mail trains
being discontinued in accordance
with war plans.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
A LIVE ISSUE

It has been brought to the at
tention Of the prohibition forces
that a concerted effort Is being
made by the organized liquor
forces 10 create sentiment
against ratifying the National
Prohibition Amendment at this
time on the ground that it had
not been submitted prior to tho
election Of the Legislature. Ger
tainly no member will be misled
by this organized and we'll flnan-
ced propaganda Of the liquor
bunch.
The Anti-Saloon League,
through its publication, through
the pulpit and the press Of the
state, did it's best to make the
issue plain. The Personal Liber-
ty League, through it's adver-
tisements, showed that they
understood the issue and made
their fight accordingly.
The resolution for nation-
wide prohibition had passed the
Senate before the Delegates and
Senators were elected last fall,
and it was in the House of Re-
presentatives at that time.
There are but few people who
claim to be posted upon this
question who would, for a mo-
ment, say that there was doubt
any time In the past six months
about the submission of this
question to the Legislatures OF
the states. AS a great news
paper of the City of Baltimore
has said, IL this question is not
settled at this Legislature 1t will
he the question upon which the
election of all legislatures will
turn for the next seven years.
This certainly is true unless 3s
states ratify the resolution be-
fore that time,
We submit that, inasmuch as
the Legislature knows this to
be true, the responsibility for
continuing this fight on the SUBJ
mission of the nationwide pro-
hibition amendment rests en-
tirely with the Legislature and
The one now in session can
settle this question for all time
to come in Maryland and we
appeal to every friend of the
cause to make this known to his
Senator and members OF the
House Of Delegates.

Anti-Saloon League Of Maryland.

CHROMIUM STEEL.
A Metal That Will Neither Rust Nor
Become furnished.

A Metal That Will Neither Rust Nor
Become furnished.
Cutlery made Of steel that neither
rusts nor furnishes is now sold In all
first class shops. 'The new Steel" says
the Scientific American, was discover
ed in England, but is now being made
in the United States and sold as table
cutlery. 1t is what is commonly called
an alloy steel-that Is, it differs from
ordinary steel in that II contains q
special element or metal IS
I'm this case IL is chromium, which Is
mainly responsible for bestowing the
stainless and rustless properties. By
incorporating from II to 13 per cent Of
this metal In mild carbon steel the new
properties are obtained. -.r.-..s
IAN English metallurgist In gathering
together some rods Of steel which had
lain a long time in his laboratory,
noticed that while most OF them were
badly rusted or stained, q few were as
bright as when originally made. This
led to the discovery and manufacture
Of the steel. aE
"The new steel il more expensive
than the old, which usually appears In
the every day table knife. Its advan-
tages and lasting properties, as well as
its appearance and the convenience
arising from its use, more than offset
the extra cost. The fact that 1t does
not tarnish, stain or corrode augments
Its value decidedly. It is supplanting
not only the old steel cutlery. but also
the plated. Its possibilities, however,
are by no means limited to cutlery.
One can readily imagine to what count
less uses a stainless and rustless metal
can be put"
