Pro1niscuous Splitting
A Dangerous Practice
Germs Become Mixed With
Dust And May Then Be In
hailed Or Swallowed

1t is u known fact that splitting as
well as coughing and sneezing in peo-
pies faces spread such diseases as Tu-
berculosis,. Pneumonia, Influenza, and
Diphtheria. 1t has been proven by
the examination of sputum which has
been gathered from sidewalks, rail-
way stations, and public places as
we'll as private homes. ,v -
During7the week of March 23rd,
the Maryland Tuberculosis Associa-
tbp: ,snd its County branches; are
waiHmg people, who enGlangef the
lives Of themselves and others from
the unnecessary practice of promis-
cuous splitting. j. .','
The germs from the sputum fall to
the Sidewalk or the. floor and are
ground up and mied with the dust.
In this manner they are able to float
in the air and be Inhaled or swallow
ed. Little children who play on the
floor and, in the street become easily
infected by this means. ......
If splitting is to be abolished it must
be done by the pubic itself. Legisla-
ton alone will not do it. When, every
body believes that splitting spreads
disease, there will then be public
revolt against it. There is less of
this danger today than there. was ten
years ago, because the public today
knows more, about Health than they
did then. When AN individual realiz--
es that he. .can-get Tuberculosis from
sputum just as surely as he may con-
tract Smallpox from visiting q person
ill with it, then the practice of pro-
miscuous splitting will come to an end.
Seven per cent of the samples Of
sputa collected n the principal streets
Of Birmingham, England, recently,
contained live tubercle bacilli, accord
ing to John Robertson writing in the
British Journal Of tuberculosis, q
If you must spit, do SO in a hand
Rerchief or spitoon, and when abb
solutely necessary in the gutter.
Cough or sneeze into a handkerchief.
If a spitoon is used be sure to keep
it, and the space around it, clean.
Spitoons are not to be recommended;
they are at best a concession to ne
cessity! Jrs.4 "HMNVr'

Age Limit Increased
For C.M. TIC. Courses
Young Men May Qualify For
Appointment AS Reserve
Officers Of Army

EX-service men, former R.O.T.C
and C.M.T.C. students, and Others
with past military experience will
have an opportunity to renew ole
contacts with military life and to
qualify for Reserve commissions in
the Army, as result of the increase,
by the War department, in the age
limit for certain, types of students in
Citizens Military Training Camps.
This year students in the first year
class (Basic training) will again
range from II to "a years Of age, but
the age limits will be increased for
the advanced courses. In the Red, or
second year class the new limits are
II to 25, in the White (third year
class) they are Is to rs and in the
Blue final course) 10 to 81. The
new regulations make liberal allow
ances for young men with some mill
tary training who can qualify for the
advanced courses. Any previous mill
tary training win be taken into ac-
count and the applicant will be placed
in the course for which his military
training, age and education fit him.
This increase in age limits will in
crease the number of students in ad-
vanced courses and correspondingly
decrease the number of applicants ac-
cepted for basic training. It was a.
dopted for the purpose of increasing
the opportunities for all young men
to qualify for appointment las Re-
serve Officers of the Army The

amined for commission as a Re-

reys, Va, for Engineers. >. =
All of these Camps will. be marked
by extra athletic activity, in addi-
ton to the normal military drills and
the usual instructions in citizenship
discipline and group teamwork and
loyalty. Properly controlled athletics
have been found to be Of primary i'm
portance, not only to the physique,
but in the building Of character. and

also received large job of decorating

Flashing jewels. handsome creations
of the modistes and an array of jew
eled decorations of patriotic orders
made the scene in the Auditorium last
night one of great brilliance from
sartoIial standpoint.
The interest of the delegates and
| visitors in clothes, of course, was
! chiefly centered in what Mrs. Coolidge
| wore. The first lady of the land never
| looked lovelier or more becomingly
dressed. She set high example of
how to dress for the 10000 feminine
| eyes that, with the acumen of woman
kind in this particular regard, took
her in" and knew instantly just what
she was wearing.
Her gown was a Strikingly hand
| some one of salmon pink velvet of the
new texture, made on graceful draped
| lines, cut rather round in the neck. On
the bodice she wore the sapphire and
diamond spread-eagle pin, which is
| one of her fayorite ornaments. over
the gown she wore a long cape of iri-
| descent metal cloth of pastel shades
| groEi foundation -~olor of dull
green.
Nine. Daeschner, wife of the French
| Ambassador, who was one of the prin-
cipal speakers, wore a gown of black
| crepe with elbow sleeves of lace, and
about her neck was a band of black
| velvet a little over an inch wide.
1 Baroness de Cartier, wife Of the Am
| bassador of Belgium. was striking
| figure on the platform. She wore a
gown of black, which was almost en-
| tirely covered by a handsome shawl
with deep fringe about the edge.
