feat the inroads of sickness and death.
Yet the mortality from these dis
eases sinks into insignificance in COM
parison with the mortality of infants.
Every child has the inalienable right
to be loved; to have his individuality
respected; to be trained wisely in
mind body and soul, and to be pro-
tected from disease and to have q
fair chance in life. There are too
many short coffins sold in Maryland
The movement for prevention of child
mortality amounts in the end simply
to this, give back to the baby what is
the baby's natural birthright.
DR.. Knox and his assistants will en-
anime all children up to and including
seven years of age. No treatments
will be given but the parents referred
to his physician who in turn will be
notified of any defects found.
The mothers are encouraged to ask
questions and seek advice. This is a
splendid opportunity for every parent
in Southern Maryland to consult with
one of the foremost children's special
lists in the country.

duty of every mother and father to

POCOMOKE LADIES
in AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Lola Shay And Miss Marie
Wilkerson In Collision With Car
Driven By Colored People

Mrs. Lola Shay and Miss Marie Will
kerson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Elihu Wilkerson, living on the stone
road between Pocomoke City, and the
Virginia line, were the victims of an
automobile smash-up just outside of
town where the junction is made with
the road leading to the Virginia line.
The ladies were on their way home,
when car turned into the road lead
ing into Pocomoke. The corner here
is obscured by growing corn so the
two cars could not get sight of each
other.
These accidents occur so quickly
that it is frequently hard to explain
how they happen. The car from the
Virginia road, driven and occupied by
colored people, may not have kept to
the outside of the curve far enough to
miss an approaching auto. 1t is evil
dent that the car driven by the ladies
veered to the left to escape the other
machine rounding the turn; ana tnlS
machine went to the right as required
by the law. A collision was newt
able. The south bound auto was driv-
en- into a sign board on the left at that
point, which caused damage on one
side of the machine; and the ap-
preaching north bound car smashed
into the other side. Caught between
the sign board and the car, the ladies'
machine was badly wrecked. Miracu-
lously, however, no fatalities resulted
beyond some rather painful cuts and
bruises sustained by the two ladies,
while the colored occupants escaped.
Miss Wilkerson and Mrs. Shay are
both employees in the Woolworth sc
and 10c store this city.

The biggest sensation in the sport
ing world within the last week is the
fine and suspension of Babe Ruth; his
fine being $4,000, and his suspension,
for an indefinite period of time.
Manager Huggins was led to this
action by Babes habits, which pre-
vented him from giving services his
$4,000 year salary demanded. Wine
and women seemed to be his favorite
diversions and late hours attached to
these, made it impossible for him to
keep in condition. His batting fell off
and the climax was reached in re-
cent game when he was taken out for
pinch hitter. His latest violations
of rules brought the above mentioned
penalty.
Ruth treated the action of the
manager very haughtily at first, evil
IDENTIFY thinking his popularity as a
ball player would override any man.
agerial discipline, and was disposed to
discount Manager Higgins ability
either to direct a ball team or recog-
nize ball player when one appeared.
But the sympathy he expected was
not forthcoming. The President OF
the Leagues, Judge Lands, was not
come-atable; Ban Johnosn roasted
him; Colonel Rupert sided with Hug
gins; and the press generally jumped
all over him.
The consequence was that the Babe
came down from his high horse, ex-
pressed his regret at his high-handed
proceedings, and offered to apologize
to Huggins. His advances were ac-
cepted in part. He was re-instated
but his fine held in suspension, de-
pending upon his future good conduct
Ruth evidently conceived the idea
that base ball was a game that could
be played merely on ones reputation;
he was drawing on past performances
TOR his present day checks. His en-
ployers could not see it that way
and the sooner Ruth can have the
same attitude toward the national
pastime as his employers, the better
for him.
A strong contrast could be drawn
between Ruth and Cobb. Recently g
complimentary dinner was given tt
the Detroit players in recognition Of
his twenty years of valuable contribu.
ton to the national pastime. The

Dahlia Sho,u To Be Held
At Greensboro Sept. 13

Greensboro, Md, has set September
Is as the date for public Dahlia
Show. This exhibition will be under
the auspices of the Maryland Dahlia
Society, the Delmarvia Dahlia Society
and the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society have been invited to fraternize
with the Maryland organization at
that time.
1t is estimated that 25O,000 blooms
will be on exhibition, and that some
splendid new dahlias will be shown.
The show takes on no commercial char
acter, but the whole gardens are
thrown open to the public's enjoyment
by the owner, A. A. Christian.
1t is reported that 10000 people at
tended this exhibition last year, and
that more are expected on the 18th.
In view of the extensive dahlia cul-
ture by our esteemed fellow citizen,
Maurice w. Coston, this should make
interesting reading to him. He may
have some prize winners on his lot,
ard no doubt he would take great in
terest in showing them at Green's
boro.
