Speedway Nears Completion.

Construction of the new Baltimore
Washington speedway, near Laurel,
Is expected to be completed by July
IL, when the track will be dedicated
with 250-mile race.
Noted drivers of the motor racing
world have signified their intention
of competing in the dedication race,
1t was asserted.
The new speedway is located half
way between Baltimore and Wash
ington. 1t is a mile and one-eighth
course, inclosing an area of eighty
acres. Overlooking the course will
be a grandstand with seating ca
pacity of approximately $4,000 per-
sons.
The track is being built of long
leaf pine, said to be the best mate
rial for speed track to insure safety.
The entire track is pitched heavily,
with an angle of forty-eight degrees
on the banks. Racers who have Wis
tied the track, it is said, have de-
clared the speedway will be one of the
fastest in this country.
Inside the track. there will be &C
commodations for 10000 automo-
biles. When racing is started motor
lists can park in this space and watch
the races from their own cars.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
Or. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
LIGHTING THE HOME

MUCH has been written about the
AVA lighting of schoolroolns. offices
and workshops, but little has been said
about lighting the home. Yet the
home is the place where most OF us
spend our evenings, when artificial
light of some kind is required and
where most of the reading is done.
Proper lighting IL also necessary for
all the ordinary household tasks The
way in which home Is lighted has
much to do with the ease and com
fort Of living.
Since the invention of electric light.
the incandescent electric bulb has
very largely replaced all other forms
of lighting. In all cities and most OF
smaller towns electric lights have
taken the place of gas. Even in the
country districts today, wherever cleo
trio currents are available. II Is used
in place of the kerosene lamp. which
was formerly the best form OF lighting
obtainable.
The electric bulb gives far more
brilliant light than either gas or the
oil lamp. So that 1t is not strange
that undue emphasis has been laid on
the intensity Of the light. Yet good
lighting requires something more than
hrilliancy. 1t is not question OF how
bright light is, but rather of how
we'll it Eliminates the field and how
well suited ii is to the human eye.
Unshaded lights of any kind are bad
for the eyes. The more brilliant the
light the more 1t needs shading. Even
frosted light bulbs are too glaring.
All lights in the house should have
shades dense enough to reduce the
brightness of the light. The object OF
artificial lights Is not to throw light
into the eyes. but onto the object,
whether book. magazine. newspaper.
sewing. fancy work or games.
Reflected light. if too bright, Is just
as trying on the eyes as direct light.
So highly polished tables or desk tops
should be covered with dull covers or
blotters. The indirect method of light
ing, by which the light is thrown
against the ceiling and reflected down.
ward. has much to commend it.
In purchasing a table lamp or port
able lamp or shade for any lamp. sit
down by it and notice two things. first
whether the shade throws enough light
on the field of vision to illuminate II
clearly, and. second, whether the shade
shields the eyes from the source Of
light. Unless the shade does these two
things. do not buy 1t, no matter how
artistic OF decorative it may he.
Dining rooms are best lighted by a
central cluster or dome suspended
over the table. Many kitchens are
lighted by a single unshaded bulb on
n drop cord. This is wearing on the
eyes. One or more lights enclosed in
diffusing glass shade and fastened
near the ceiling is much better. Bed
room lights are naturally placed at
the side of mirrors, as are also bath
room lights.
For those who use oil lapps. The
problem is much simpler. While not
MS brilliant as electric light. oil lamps
give much softer light and one less
firing to the eyes But oil tights should
also be shaded. So as to keep the light
out of the eyes and throw it ON the
field of work.

DRY LAWS AND
INSANITY CASES
State Commissioner Of Mental
Hygiene Addresses
Nurses.

prohibition is the direct cause OF
q large part Of the great increase Of
insanity and crime," DR.. Arthur P
Herring, State Commissioner of Men
tai Hygiene, said in addressing the
public health nurses sessions of the
annual meeting of county health Off
GERS with the State Department OF
Health.
"Present-day bootleg liquor" he con
tinued, lis more potent than the liquor
which was sold before the days of pro-
hibition. It is much more poisonous
than good liquor, which if drunk ex
cessively over long period Of time
also will cause insanity and crime.
"The tremendous increase in in
sanity and crime that this country has
been witnessing in the last few years
is ascribable for the most part directly
to bad liquor liquor which is SC
strong in alcohol as to attack. the
nervous organizations of persons who
drink. it and leave them debilitated in
mind and character"
Miss C. Ethel Monroe, State ad-
visory nurse, read a paper on Nurses
Reports and Equipment" She adj
vised the establishment of more
health centers in rural parts of the
State, as well as loan Closets" or
small storehouses of medical and
surgical supplies, for the use of coun-
ty residents in emergencies.
Each county in the State, except
st. Mary's and Queen Anne's, it was
explained, is provided with one or
more nurses. Washin gton county has
six and Baltimore county FIVE. In
twenty-one counties there are forty
two nurses. Miss Monroe empha-
sized the Importance of reporting
diseases and the work Of the nurses,
SO that comparative records may be
at the disposal Of the State depart
ment.
DR.. John M, Nicklas, clinician Of
the department, spoke on Care in

fective treatment in cases of the dis
ease was so per cent rest, 20 per cent
fresh air and sunshine and 20 per

REAT BRITAIN and France have
~ reached agreement on the main
points of a proposed security treaty,
and there is renewed hope throughout
Europe. According to an authoritative
statement from London, Great Britain
will abandon her policy of isolation
and become virtually a member of a
four power alliance-for it is assumed
that Italy will join-to preserve the
peace of Europe and guarantee the
frontiers Of France, Belgium, and Ger
many as established under the YER
sailles treaty against violation from
any side, and will employ the whole Of
her defensive forces for this purpose.
The pact will be bilateral, Great
Britain undertaking to guarantee the
frontiers against unprovoked attack by
either France or Germany. But there
is an important proviso. The whole
pact will be under the egis of the
League of Nations, which Germany
must join, and any action taken will be
under the league covenant.
Though British reservations may
hamper France in helping her allies in
eastern Europe. the French could not
afford to hold out because of this, for
after all the territorial rights of those
allies are guaranteed protection by the
covenant of the League Of Nations.
There was fear In England that some
of the British dominions, especially
Australia. might offer serious objection
to pledging the empires fighting forces
in any continental contract which
might tie them up in case of a>sud-
den crisis in the Pacific.
Germany, while awaiting the detailed
suggestion of q treaty by the allies
still contends that the only method Of
settling the whole matter satisfactorily
is through a new international confer
ence that would take up cojointly the
questions of security pact. evacuation
of the Ruhr and the Cologne zone, dis
armament. and Germany's entry into
the league
