CREDIT TO ITS BUILDERS
Frame Meeting House In Maryland,
With Authentic Record From
1853, Is Still Standing.

The old Quaker meeting house at Eas-
ton Md, is probably the oldest frame
building standing in the United States
just where it was built and as it
was built, without any change, addi-
lions Or subtractions and with an au-
thentic record since 1888. An occa-
siOnal replacing of the shingles on the
roof and of the weather boarding are
all the repairs it has had. Its frame,
inside and woodwork, and some Of the
Notwithstanding are the same as
when built about the same time that
William Penn, who visited the build
ing, was trading with the Indians and
laying out Philadelphia.
The only preservative used on the
wood has been old-fashioned white
wash on the outside. Seven of the
original plank seats and the wood
work inside have had no paint what
ever. White oak, white pine cypress
and southern pine from the Maryland
forests were the woods used.

FIRST TO HELP UNFORTUNATE
Idea of Teaching Deaf and Dumb Had
Its Inception in Brain of
Spanish Monk.

Search for the first man to conceive
the idea of imparting knowledge to the
deaf and dumb leads one into clois-
ter in the Middle ages. There, in his
little cell in a Spanish village near
Madrid, the Benedictine monk, Pedro
de Ponce, pondered in 1910 over the
problem of how to make useful citi-
zens of those who had been denied
both speech and hearing.
Two centuries passed before modern
England took up this charity, the De-
troit News states. George Townsend
finally succeeded in establishing a
deaf and dumb asylum in London in
1902, and in 1910 Thomas Braidwood
induced the city Of Edinburgh to fol-
low the example Of the capital.
Americas first deaf and dumb in
stitution was not founded until 1860,
after the famous William Van Praagh
had introduced the oral method Of
teaching both in this country and Eng
land

Not One Returned From War.

One of the most tragic of England's
war memorials has just been unveiled
in the village church of Holywell, Lin
colnshire-a simple tablet of white
stone let into the church wall. 1t only
contains the names of twelve villagers
killed in the war, but the tragedy is
these twelve were the villages entire
fighting strength.
With a population Of less than one
hundred, Holywell mustered twelve
men of fighting age and they went
with the first rush of recruits for
Kitchener's army. Not man came
back. Five fell at Gallipoli, two at
Jutland and the remainder in France.

Bread Made Effective Weapon.

During the recent disturbances in
Upper Silesia, party Of Poles, armed
to the teeth made an attempt to force
an entrance into the town of Korel,
which was garrisoned by Italian
troops. An Italian sentry opened fire
as soon as the first insurgents tried
to cross the bridge over the River
Oder The Poles replied, and their
attack would have succeeded if 1t had
not occurred to the sentry to seize his
ration of bread and hurl it at his as
sailants. So startled were they by this
proceeding that they fed. Possibly
they imagined that this projectile was
some new sort of bomb. By the time
they had recovered from their aston
ishment, re-enforcements put in an ap-
pearance, and the situation was saved.

A man was one day visiting luna
tic asylum, and while walking in the
grounds he met a patient, to whom he
said:
''Well, how did you get here?"
The man replied:
"Well, sir, you see, I married a
widow with a grown-up daughter, and
then my father married my wife's
daughter, and that made my wife the
mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and
my father became my stepson. Then
my stepmother, the daughter of my
wife, had a son, and that boy, Of
course, was my brother, because he
was my fathers son; but he was also
the son of my wife's stepdaughter,
and therefore her grandson, and that
made me grandfather of my stepbroth-
er. Then my wife had son, so my
mother-in-law, the stepsister of my
son, is also his grandmother, because
he Is her stepsOn's child; my father
Is the brother in-law of my child, be-
cause his stepsister is his wife; l am
the brother of my own son, who is also
the son of my stepgrandmother; I am
my mothers brOther-in-law; my wife
Is her own child's aunt; my son Is my
fathers nephew; and 1 am my own
grandfather.

STATE
CAPITAL

Medical Extension Services Planned.
Annapolis
Outlines of proposed medical extern
sion activities being planned by the
University of Maryland and designed
to benefit the rural practitioner and
rural population generally, were pre-
scented at College Park before the
semi-annual meeting Of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty Of Maryland,
by Dr. M. G. Pincoffs, superintendent
Of the medical department Of the
University.
The plan as sketched follows in its
salient features the extension work
now being performed by other
agencies of the University in the field
of agriculture. Among the things 1t
will provide are ways and means of
keeping the rural practitioner more
closely in touch with the latest de-
velopments in medical science. One
of the methods suggested by DR.. Pin
COTS in this connection will be the
preparation and circulation Of current
articles from the leading medical mag
azines on specific subjects.
The plans as suggested by DR.. Pin
COTS received the unanimous endorse
ment Of the State faculty, several of
the members speaking briefly of its
practicability and need. The complete
working out Of the plan, however, 1t
was explained, would require adequate
financial support and time for its de-
velopment.
The various lines of work being con-
Quoted by the University of Maryland,
were explained by DR.. A. F. Woods,
president Of the institution who
touched briefly on the needs of the
various schools and the appropriations
which will be asked of the next Leg
islature.

of the Maryland State Dairymen's AS

other indorsing the action of President

Conference on Limitation of Arma

The resolutions on the indictment
assert that the charges of conspiracy

Frederick.-Vandals destroyed 80
apple trees few nights ago in the
orchard of Robert j. Ridgely, school
teacher and preacher living near
Myersville. The trees were beginning
to bear and were chopped off close to
the ground. While there is no clue to
those who cut down the trees, it is be.
lieved that it was the work of persons
offended because Mr.. Ridgely would
not permit hunting on his property.
Some months ago vandals nearly de.
stroyed an orchard almost in the same
neighborhood.
