WILD DUCKS KILLED BY
PHOSPHORUS

Ducks that died recently ON the
Susquehanna flats from eating phos-
phorus, fed in the phosphorus-cov-
cred area because gun, fired auto
matically at two minute intervals to
frighten them away, failed, to func-
ton one day last week. vlas
r. Lee Compte, Statee Game War
den, has made this explanation. He
said ffty-two dead ducks had been
found and asserted that he did not
believe more than one hundred in
all had died from eating phosphorus.
The phosphorus is dropped from
alrplanes in smoke screen practice.
The grains which do not explode
sink to the bottom of the river.
There the ducks picked the grains
up last week in feeding while the
gun, mounted on barge to frighten
the game away, was out of service.
IN accordance with an agreement
made with War Department officials,
phosphorus no longer is being
dropped into water less %than ten
feet deep, Mr.. LIE Compte said.

fires during October. Total 20"
Don't worry, we are not deceived.
The credit all belongs to the weather
man, and NOT to change of heart
and action of our worthy citizens
up here. At night we still sleep

hoping November will double the
record.

Keep these youngsters out of mis-
chief on Halloween the mechants OF
Elkton sponsor a monster parade.
Hundreds take part and and sub
stantial prizes for the best costumes,
floats, etc., are awarded. So the
bunch got busy, and on large fiat
bedded truck, built miniature
forest fire. The front end OF the
truck depicted the. woods in their
natural beauty; the rear end showed
the complete devastation after fire,
and diagonally between the two was
the fire. Burning chemicals gave
off volumes of smoke and red cleo
trio bulbs coupled to a storage
battery, supplied the flames. Eight
boys manned the fire line with Rich
tools, spray tanks, axes, ETC., and
for an hour and a half fought
that fire" to the cheers of the peo-
Pile who saw the parade. The
Prevent Forest Fires" sign was
used most literally, and so the
scouts did a "good turn" for
forestry, and incidentally won first
prize, ($25). The latter is the nest
egg for next years camping fund.
Keyes and Miller kindly loaned
the truck, and DR.. Clauser, the Chief
Chemist of the Victory Sparkler
Company concocted the chemicals
for the smoke, and that Company,
through Mr.. Decker, the President,
donated the materials.
Fire bills in Cecil county have not
been paid for several years. This
has caused difficult situation for
everyone. This matter has finally
been cleared up to the satisfaction
of all by the recent action of the
County Commissioners in paying the
total outstanding bills. With the
payment came the promise that all
future bills will be paid promptly.

Active Cases In Cd
Year Totaled Approx

According to records given

were approximately 1913 al
cases.
According to the most authorit!
tive records available, approximatelN
100000 in the United States died'
from this dreaded disease during
1924, and it is estimated that there
are at least 100000 active cases OF

Although the death rate from this
disease has declined almost yearly
since 1900, and has been more than
cut in half, there still remains much
to be done.
The vigorous campaign which is
now being waged all over the coun-
try under the leadership Of the
National and State Tuberculosis
Associations and their County
branches is for the purpose of
raising funds with which to continue
the combat against this terrible
scourge.
More than 23,OOO,OOO Tuber-

and the Maryland, tuberculosis
Association and its County Branches

dispose of this allotment of seals

Seventy per cent of all the re-

is sent to the State Association is
used to help support the Miracle
