Receives Official Notice Of
Summer Training Camp

One of the most interesting pieces
of news to the members of Head
quarters Co., Sd Battalion was an
nounced today by Captain Child to
the effect that information has been
received from Brigadier General Mil
ton A. Rockford that the First Regi-
ment, Maryland National Guard, will
hold its Summer Training Camp this
year at Virginia Beach, Va. The camp
will probably be from August Sd to
the 18th. This location is used by
the Virginia National Guard, as it's
camp, and is located one mile from
the famous summer resort of Vir-
ginia Beach on the ocean about 20
miles from Norfolk, Va.
The troops will have a delightful
trip down the Chesapeake Bay from
Baltimore to Norfolk and enjoy for
the first time camp where they can
have ocean bathing. 1t is easily &C
cessible to many other points of in
terest like Hampton Roads, Fortress
Monroe, Ocean View, Portsmouth and
Newport News. The summer camp is
always looked forward to by the
members Of Headquarters Company
as not only a period of training and
maneuvers but also as an outing
which brings much pleasure. The
camp this year at Virginia Beach will
be the best that the Maryland Nation
al Guard has ever held and arrange
ments are expected to- be made that
will provide plenty Of sports and
sightseeing trips.
Captain Child states that there are
four vacancies to be filled in Head
quarters Company and advises all
young men who are interested to visit
the Armory next Thursday night or
see any of the officers of the Com
pany.

MAKES INTERESTING
TESTS ON HEARING
Variations With Age and
Physic~l Conditions.

Prof. Martin Gildemeister has been
on various questions pertaining to
hearing. Gildemeister has now con-
structed entirely new apparatus for
his researches, through which more &C
curate results have been secured. His
experiments were carried out on 81
experimental subjects, comprising pu-
pills. students, girls, teachers, officials,
merchants, farmers and wOrkmen of
various kinds. All these persons,
whose ages ranged from six to forty
seven, were possessed of normal hear
ing, as was established by careful pre-
lminary examination.
A number of interesting facts are de-
ducible from the results Of Gildemeis-
ter's tests on hearing. 1t Is compare
lively rare for the hearing of the right
and left ears to be equally good. There
is often great difference in hearing be-
tween the two ears, and the findings
remain the same. But there was no
evidence that the right or left ear, in
general. was essentially superior with
respect to hearing.
Age, however, plays big part in the
matter of hearing. Children and young
persons up to twenty years Of age hear
best tile high tones. Even in children
slow but gradual falling Off in hearing
can be noted. and from twenty up tn
the middle of the fourth decade the
diminutiOn becomes more marked. Up
to the middle Of the fifth decade then,
the hearing remains approximately at
the same level, and then sinks rather
rapidly up to old age. The diminution
in hearing from age six to forty-seven
is represented, on the average, by 1000
vibrations is, it says from 10000
to 1900 vibrations.
There is not the. slightest evidence
for the heretofore assumption that
hearing through bone conducti0n is
keener and better than through air
conduction. OF 80 experiments hear
ing of the highest tones was better In
81 cases with air conduction; In IL
cases it was equally good. and only In
~ cases was hearing better with bone
COuuuCLlOu lHdA nAI CVAuuStAOAs
The variations in hearing that are
brought about by the changes from day
to day in physical well being may be
represented by 200 vibrations at the
most. On the other hand occupation
and practice play certain part, for It
has been shown that persons who tele-
phone a great deal often present much
more than average upper limits Of
hearing.-American Medicine.

town. In this county, where the col
lege is located, will be conducted the
most intensive type of a campaign.
The organization will have a COM
mittee from each of the districts and
will present the appeal to every citi-
zen.
Campaign headquarters have been
opened in the Imperial Hotel build

Another Misft

A visitor to a mountain school In
the South, after prodding an unhappy
little boy about various matters, asked
him If he knew the Ten Command
ments.
The boy said he did not.
"YSu don't know the Ten Command
ments?" the visitor repeated in aston.
ishment.
mo, SIR" the boy insisted.
"Wflat is your name, my lad?"
"Moses, SIR"
The visitor gave it up.

The finest OF cars can be sold at these prices

the only makers of cars at our prices

Some of our Big-Sixes, for instance,
have two nickel-plated bumpers, one
or two extra disc wheels with cord
tires, courtesy light, a motometer,
steel trunk, etc.
This factory, remember, is the
ancient home Of fine coach work.
A fine car must be enduring. A
Studebaker Big-Six, built in 1918,
has so far run 475,oo0 miles. That
means 80 years of ordinary service.

and America. -
You will respect the Studebaker
methods when you come to know
them. You will admire the cars they
create. You will delight in the values.
Remember that last year 145,167
fine-car buyers, after comparisons,
chose the Studebaker models. So
many people could not be wrong.
Learn why they did so before you
buy car at 1000 or over. You owe
that to yourself.

Where savings come

Then how do the Studebakers so
far undersell any comparable cars?
Because we build so many. The
fixed costs are divided by enormous
output-150,000 cars per year.
Because we build our own bodies.
The saving to you on some types is
up to $500 per car.
Because we make our own forg-
ings, saving another profit there.
Because Cur plants are modern and
efficient. We have spent $3S, 000, 900

Note our multiplying

It is fairto assume that
we can and do build the
finest cars and at Stude-
baker prices.
What is a fine car?
A fine car means the
best materials any cost
can buy. We use IS for
mulas for steels, each
known to be best for it's
purpose. We pay a pre-
MUM of 1870 on some to
get the formulas exact.
All Studebaker models
are equipped with Tim
ken bearings. There are
few cars in America, re-

equal ours on this point.
In our Light-Six, for in

tive Car, within $1,000 of

FREIGHT RATEGUTS
FORMALLY APPROVED
Crate Material In Car Lots To
Be Handled From cambridge
AT Lower Cost Hereafter

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-Re-
duction Of freight rates on crate
material shipped in carload lots
from cambridge, Ga, to various
points within the stage, was &p-
proved by the Georgia puunc ser

COLQUITT schools
ARE FAR FROM IDEAL
Report OF Investigators Show
Much That Should Be Pro-
vided In That County


ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-AL
though Colquitt county is one OF
the pioneers in the matter OF
consolidation of schools, the ideal
has not been attained n the county
and scores of rural Children have
not an equality of educational OPP
portunity, according to a report OF
a survey being conducted in every
county of Georgia under the direc-
ton of the state board of educa-
ton. ~ esgA
The county is commended by the
Investigators for the interest mani
tested educationally. The investi-
gators recommendation are set
forth in the reports as follows:
1. The county has too many
small schools teaching and too many
grades to the teacher.
2. The terms of the rural school
are too short. Carrying from five to
seven months.
8. Many buildings are old and
unsightly, some unfit for school
purposes.
A. The sanitary condition OF
the schools should be improved.
5. There are too many so-called
high schools 1t is recommended
that the county and city build
joint high school in order to take
care of the children who are now
denied this privilege.
6. Attendance upon Summer
schools has been the habit with a
majority of the teachers, but some
of them are inadequately prepared
for the work they are doing. The
county superintendent is in every
way capable and efficient and his
spirit is commanded.
7. The attendance is very fine.
0. 1HeIe are OHly 10 "AAVC -
leterates between the ages of 10
and IS years. The superintendent
hopes to eliminate illeteracy entire
ly in a few years.
8. More than three-fourths OF
the districts of the county are levy
ing local tax from two to ten
mills in addition to the countrywide
of five mills.
10. The negEA schools should be
given more attention. Very little
per capita is spent upon them and
their is not decent school build
ing in the county.
II. More attention should be
given to water supply.
~. Despite all these handicaps,
this county is moving forward and
the hope is entertained that eyentu'
ally it will rank among the better
schools systems.
