DR.. Faunce's Idealism
Contributed

/ think that all who had the pleas
ure and the good luck to hear Dr..
Faunce's lecture at st. Johns College
last Saturday evening will agree that
it was the most splendid discourse
that has been delivered in Annapolis
for many day. The person report
ing this address gave a fairly good
summary of it, but he omitted the
place where the speaker reached the
climax OF his idealism. namely. where
be said that each individual should re-
gard himself. not merely as an iso-
lated worker, aiming 10 better not
solely his own condition in life, but
rather as performing his part towards
the enhancement OF human society.
Unfortunately, DR.. Faunce over
looked one drawback-human selfish
-ress, which is the great obstacle to
moral perfectibility, and all our
boosted civilization is merely a
veneer covering up this fatal weak
ness of self-interest.
And yet this selfism is easily ac-
counted for. 1t is traceable back to a
time when man was leading merely
an animal life, his only occupation be-
ing the seeking of the creature com
forts of food, clothing and shelter. 1t
was only later that his moral nature
was developed Then there began to
appear in history individuals who
strove after moral perfection and be-
came great teachers. Socrates. who
prayed the Gods to give him beauty Of
the inward soul and that the outward
and the inward man might be at one.

the Greeks, and Regulus, returning to
Carthage. after he had dissuaded the
Roman Senate from accepting the
Carthaginians' proposals of peace,

TOBACCO USERS NOT IMMUNE
Only Germs of Cholera and Meningitis
Succumb to Smoke or Juice
of Nicotine.

Professor Puntoni of the University
of Rome has performed series of ex-
periments by way of determining
whether tobacco, smoked or chewed,
would act as disinfectant against dis
ease germs. For the purpose he used
Tuscany cigars, Macedonian cigar
cites and very strong chewing to-
bacco." He placed a piece of paper
covered with a salve which contained
the germs of cholera, influenza, diph-
liberia, typhoid and meningitis in
glass jar and then filled the jar with
smoke or covered the paper with to-
bacco juice, says New York Evening
Post.
He has arrived at the depressing con-
clusion that, except in the case of
cholera and meningitis, tobacco is pow
erless in the presence of germs. AS to
typhoid and diphtheria, he exposed the
bacilli to the strongest of smoke from
Tuscany cigars for one hour, and
they were as robust at the end of the
experiment as at the beginning.
AS TO tuberculosis, Professor Pun
toni says that the most inveterate
smoker or chewer can hope for no pro-
lection from his indulgence. The ele.
ments of tobacco that disinfect in the
case of cholera and meningitis are
tar, nicotine and formaldehyde.

VENT CRATES BEST
FOR SHIPPING BERRIES

One OF the most effective methods OF
causing fruits to decay in transit is to
pack them in solid crates that afford
little or no ventilation. A few years
ago this was the manner in which
early strawberries were shipped to
market The result was that large
quantities of strawberries arrived at
market in bad condition, and the
monetary returns to the growers were
smaller than they should have been.
But today, largely as a result of the
activities of marketing specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, the non-ventilated Hallock
crate, .0r "eoffin box" as it is locally
known in the Louisiana strawberry
district. is now in universal disrepute
as strawberry container True,
considerable number of non-ventilated
strawberry crates are still being used,
in fact too many of them, but not
nearly to the extent that they were
used a few years ago. Berries ship
ped in ventilated crates invariably
command premium over berries
shipped in non-ventilated crates.
Strawberry growers have learned that
the premiums commanded by high
quality berries more than cover the
few cents additional cost of proper
containers. and department specialists
preuict that it will not be long before
the use of non-ventilated Hallock
crates for strawberries will be matter
of history.

ROTARY CLUB TO
PUSH PLANS FOR
PUBLIC FAIRGROUNDS
Why Have Play And Fairgrounds
Play, As Used Here. Means Physi-
cal Recreation Oh Any Kind.
tCommunicated.)


Play is a primary need of every
child. just as is eating or sleeping.
Why does a flower need light? The
child needs a playground because his
growth is through activity; through
those specific forms of activity which
nature has prescribed. and because,
accordingly. he will never grow up
or will grow up stunted or perverted
If he is denied those opportunities
and objects to which his vital, instinc-
tive and formative activities relate.
The thing that most needs to be
understood about play is that it is not
a luxury out necessity.
1t is not simply something that a
child likes to have; it is something
that he must have if he is ever TO
grow up. II is more than an essen
l.al par. of his education; it is part of
the law of his growth, of the process
by which he becomes a man at ALL
Play is part of the same great law
OF life in obedience to which the child
is here at all, the same law that makes

represents in education natures pre-
scribed course. What we may choose
to do in school or elsewhere is cleo
tive; very valuable in providing that
children shall grow up wise and USE
full. fitted to their particular surround
ings But play represents the vital
part, without which they cannot grow
up at all.
Play is one of the biggest factors in
health, just as is proper food and
sleep.
Play is necessary accompaniment
and balance for school work; there
fore is educational
Play is a municipal necessity in

and woman.
Fairgrounds are necessary for play.
A playground. in the broadcast mean
ing, is any proper provision for play,
whether outdoors or indoors
Many people who have realized the
Importance of children's play think
that it requires no special provision
Trey assume that the satisfaction of
SO universal an instinct is inevitable
But il is not inevitable.
Eating is universal instinct
among healthy people. but there is
such thing as starvation. So. when
you think of your own childhood and
remember that not only was playing
as instructive as breathing, but that
as II seems TO you in retrospect, you
always found plenty chance to play
without any special provision being
made for that purpose, remember also
that there was room TO play and
things TO play with; AMI then con-
slider whether there may not be chill
dren in our modern cities less for

good children can be improved.
And besides the children with no
playground, there are the children
with a bad playground. whose growth
is in consequence not stunted, but de-
formed

TIiE sANCTITY 0F THE FLAG

The flag OF the United States
is sacred emblem. 1t has been
hallowed by the blood Of thou
sands OF our bravest. Those who
treat it with less than the respect
it deserves commit a sacrilege as
much as he who dehles shrine.
Among the many patriotic
functions of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, one of the
most practical importance is that
of keeping inviolate the uses and
the ideals of the flag. Constantly
attention is being called by Off
Gals OF the organization to
abuses, and they are at once cor
rected. The matter has only re-
Gently been given very general
emphasis by publicity through
the Philadelphia Public Ledger of
statements made by Mrs. Joseph
N. Galley, Chairman of the ID. A.
X. Committee on the Correct Use
of the Flag, commenting on the
recent misuses of the flag as a
decorative emblem. One instance
is cited where a statue rested on
truck covered with flags used as
bunting; another where a prima
donna on patriotic occasion
stood on a flag; and in a third in
stance woman used a flag as
shawl.
The flag is not rug or label
cloth; it is not an ornament or a
garment; it is not lawful to use
it for trademark or as an adj
vertisement.
Plenty of Red radicals, in Am
erica and overseas, would like to
wipe their feet on the Star
Spangled Banner to show their
malice because it will not cloak
their disloyalty.
But we must not let them pour
contempt upon it. and we who
profess to be true Americans
must first set the example of rev.
erence. We cannot preach and
teach to aliens a due regard for
Old Glory unless we show that
reverence ourselves.
Anne Arundel county is FORTH
nate in having splendid Chap
ter of the ID. \. R..-the Peggy

tee whose special province is to

flag Mrs. Emma Abbott Gage
is Chairman of that Committee,
and many instances could be
cited where dissertation has been
stopped. This is done in an I'M
oStentatious, but none the less
effective, way. and it has been
found that those guilty of the of
Tense have in practically every in
stance done SO through ignorance
or misunderstanding. In each
case where correction has been
made, it was not only a positive
good that was done. but by set
ting an example the public gen
orally has been made aware of
the presence in the community of
an active force on GUARD against
any misuse of the flag.

Hog Pens Must Go
The question of whether or not the
residents OF certain section of Ger
mantown shall be permitted to keep
hog pens on their premises, which has
been the sui ject OF much agitation,
was settled by the Commissioners,
who adopted an order under the pro-
visions of which a zone was estab-
lished wherein ii will be unlawful for
persons to have such pens in the flu
ture. The prohibitory section will
extend from the city limits to Locust
avenue. taking in all of the property
from the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railways tracks
across to the section commonly known
as Sage Bottom. The board has di-
rected patrolrnan Crawford of German
town. to notify all residents of the
section named. that such a zone has
been established and they must act
N accordance herewith.
Complaints about hog pens have
teen registered with the Commission
ers at various times during the past
year, it being held that they are a
nuisance and detriment TO health be-
cause of the bad odors issuing there
from. One OF the particular complaints
concerned the proximity of pens to
the Germantown school house.
Danger In Road Crossing
Acting upon communication re-
coived from L. p. O'Donnell, repre-
senting the Severna Park Improve
nent Association, in which attention
is directed to the condition OF the
road at Boone Station Crossing, Com
missioner Disney, of the Third dis
trict, and Engineer Hayman were
delegated to investigate the matter,
Mr. 0'Donnell, in his letter, among
other things, states that the danger at
this crossing is not small. because of
the large number of automobiles and
buses conveying children 20 nearby
schools having to cross it daily; that
satisfactory interview was had with
officials of the Washington, Baltimore
and Anrapolis Electric Railways, who
have given assurance that special
signal system will be installed near
the point, and that while this will
greatly minimize the danger. yet the
county road should be placed in bet
ter shape 1t is claimed that at least
90 percent of the danger lies in the
condition of the road. which, for 100
feet on either side of the crossing. has
no hard filling of the roadbed.
