sPEcTAcLEs INDICATED RICHES

Spectacles were invented in Italy about 12S5. They were at first very expensive, and so were worn only by wealthy persons or noblemen. and so came to be regarded as a mark of rank. The larger the spectacles the higher the rank, and so the glasses grew to prodigious size. There are two or three busts extant of Italian gentlemen wearing "specs," and in one of these cases the lenses are three inches in diameter.

An Important Communication From
Governor Harrington.

Mrs. e. O. Grimes, director of Car
roll County Red Cross Xmas Seal
Campaign, has received the following
communication from Governor Har-
rington:
Dear Mrs. Grimes:
The drastic restrictions caused by
fuel supply have seriously affected the
Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign
and it is necessary that our people
should come promptly and generous
ly to the rescue of this noble cause.
This is not matter mainly Of choice
and generosity but vital duty in the
protection of our common welfare.
tuberculosis is worse than war.
Last year it killed three times as
many people in the United States as
were killed in the American armies
on the battlefelds of Europe. In
Maryland it caused 2,914 deaths last
year; 26,226 active cases and an es-
timated annual loss Of $685., $50 in
our state The death rate from tuber-
culosis in Maryland is A per cent.
higher than in the country at large.
The Maryland tuberculosis Associ-
alton is doing splendid work In pre-
vention and education. Its finances
come from the sale or Christmas
Seals
Therefore, T urge men and women
everywhere to buy these seals. / ask
you to buy all the seals you can and
learn how to prevent tuberculosis and
to cure it. command the use Of
these seals to everyone In our State.
This most worthy campaign was
interrupted by the fire at Mccoy Hall
and now it has been further delayed
by the prevailing conditions in bust
ness. Our duty to see that 1t IL car
ried through successfully in spite OF
the unfavorable circumstances, and to
that end T urge the personal interest
and corporation of the people Of Mary
land. 1t will be money well and no
bly, spent for the highest benefit OF
ALL

Governor OF Maryland.
