Death by hanolna,

In answer to physician who asks
what Is the. cause of death In hanging,
and how soon it ensues, a medical
tourna. says that If the knot be prop
erly adjusted, instant death from
breaking the spinal cord is produced,
but in majority Of cases asphyxia-
ton is the cause of death. In this the
man may retain consciousness for from
a few seconds to a minute and a hat
and may retain life for from is to 20
minutes

Upper Marlboro, Nd.
Feb. l, 1919.
To the Editor of Enquirer,
Dear Sir:
Kindly allow me space enough in
your paper to say word in reference
to the disorder created in this town
Thursday night last. On that night
permission had been given the principal
of the colored school to hold dance for
the benefit of his school. Those who
attended the dance were peaceful, quiet
law-abiding people. There was not q
semblance of disorder in the Hall where
they were. In the street, however
were congregated the low, crap shoot.
ing, boot-legging, crowd, who perpe
trated every form of disorder, imagin.
able. Ger ain m of then
gang make a practice of selling
given here. The low element knows il
and come here for no other purpose
than to drink and carouse. The thing
to be criticised is the laxity of our
police officers and not the efforts oil
those who are working to uplift needy
race. Clean the town of rap-shooters
and boot-leggers and there will be no
complaint when decent rerpectfu
people meet for social enjoyment
Respectfully

Major Lee Writes Mrs. Hartman.
Dear Mrs. Hartman:

Dear Mrs. Hartman:
| am most sin
cerely sorry to write you that the
telegram announcing your sons death
was correct. Your son. Corporal Mil,
ton E. Hartman, Company K. l15tt
U. S. Infantry was killed on October
10th, 1918. He was leading his squad
during the second day of the offensive
of the 29th Division on the East of the
river Mouse near Verdun. He was shot
thru the heard and died instantly.
The machine gun nest which his
platoon was then attacking resisted to
the death. The German resistance on
this sector was particularly stubborn as
the American attack here threatened
Metz aud Sedan on the vital hub of the
entire German line.
Milton met the most glorious death that
can come to soldier. He was leading
his squad of United States Infantry in
an attack on German machine gun
nests in the famous Meuse-Argonne
offensive thru which offensive United
States troops forced the erms of the
armistice on Germany. Your son led
his men we'll at all times and they had
implicit confidence in him. Your boy
was as brave leader as the company
had.
In Alcase on July 31st your son also
showed great GOODNESS and courage when
the Germans raided the strong point in
which we were. He handled his squad
well and volunteered to act as observer
during the machine gun and artillery
barrage which the enemy put down on
this occasion. This was much more
dangerous than taking shelter in the
trench.
The men and officers of K company
loved and respected your son tor his
ability, courage, and character. You
have our most sincere sympathy in
your great loss.
Very sincerely yours,
E. BROOKE LEE,
Major, 115th Inf.
P. S. The 115th Inf. continued to
adv ance after October 10th to a new
lie three kilometers ahead of where
Milton was killed so his body was in our
possession and he was buried by Chap
lain Reynolds, 115th Inf, in soldiers
cemetery s7ith number of other Mary
land me.- of the 115th Inf. in the Cou-
senvaye woods near Brabant on the
East of the Mouse ten miles from
Verdun. The graves are all plainly
marked with wooden crosses and will
be cared for. If can be of any service
do not hesitate to let me know.

To part with the one lowell 80 dear;
The trail was hard, I'll not complain,
But trust in God to meet again.

Sort of Hogs Now in Demand

A few years ago there was demand
for very heavy hogs. Now the tend
ency is toward smooth, even hogs, of
medium weight, of from 225 to $50
pounds at maturity. Hogs of this
weight should be free from surplus fat,
possess smooth shoulders, we'll laid in
with the line of the body, hams moder-
ately heavy, firm flesh with TANKS well
down so as to furnish large develop
ment of belly meat. The back should
be of good length, wide and smooth,
an absence of large patches of fat on
the hams.
The best cuts of the hog are taken
from the back, loin and sides. hence the
Importance of good length and depth of
sides. The careful breeder of pure
swine keeps informed on just such point
and aims to produce in his herd those
qualities that most nearly produce the
market demand. Medium weight hogs
through the demand of trade. have dis
posed of the old time 500 or more pound
lard hog.
The scrub hog has no place on the
farm and since the packer and his trade
have called for a certain type of hogs,
it stands the hog raiser we'll in hand to
meet the demand through careful breed
Ing and feeding.

PROPHECIES AND FACTS.

Next to arplanlng, there is perhaps no more
uncertain busine SIS than prophesying. Nobody
can ever foretel how prophecy is going to
turn out; that is one reason why there are so
many prophets-the hazard appeals to the hu-
man craving for adventure.
There are ali those prophecies about what
the returning soldiers will or will not do, and
chief among them the oft-repeated statement
that the air-men will never consent to come
down to earth again except as someone has said,
for sleep or gasoline"
Now comes a reporter and reports that OF
the first twenty aviators interviewed in France,
not one intends to pursue aviation as business
after the war.
Of the other branches of the army, only
about one-fourth of those interviewed expressed
the determination to make any change in their
former line of business.
This information may be a little dsappoint
ing to the seerS and the peSsimistic reconstruc-
tionists. but to the folks at home it is pretty
good news that the boy who is coming back is
the one who went away. Broadened he will be,
-sobered, no doubt; but the boy who was glad to
get home because now he could take his own
girl to the MOVIES, is typical of the great ma
jority.
There will be boys seeking change, and
changes will be necessary, but far more neceS-
sary is the practice of plain, normal, practical
common sense in the same old everyday routine.
If everybody holds steadily to that, whether
there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether
there be tongues, they shall cease
The boys as mass will come back to their
families and go to work as usual.
