Maryland Wife-Beater
Given Ten Lashes

Robert Shroyer, % was SEN
fenced on Monday by Judge
Guy Motter, at Frederick, Md,
to ten lashes on the bare back
for wife beating
Judge Motter declared this
to be the most fragrant case of
wife beating ever to come be-
fore him, and said ne was glad
the law allowed imposing a
penalty Of lashes. This is the
third sentence to the whipping
post for wife beating imposed
in Maryland in twelve years.
Coming at time that an
agitation is being made to
abolish the Delaware whipping
post, it is interesting to note
tina tother states are talking of
reViving the post. Sentiment in
Delaware is overwhelming for
the retention of the post.

HEALTH MEASURES
RESULT IN DECLINE OF
STATES DEATH RATE
Decrease In Number Of Tubercu-
lOsis Victims About Twenty Per
Cent This Year.
CLINICS AID In THE FIGHT
DR.. Phillips Gives Valuable In
structiOns For Combating The
Dread Disease.

That the combined health meas.
ures put into force in the past few
years, with the efforts made to i'm
prove sanitary conditions in towns
and the cleaning up in dairies and
improvement of the milk served in
this state are responsible together
with the tuberculosis work being
done, for the diminishing of the
number of deaths from tuberculosis
in Delaware in the first six months
of this year, is the assertion of DR..
Arthur T. Davis, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health and DR..
Lawrence D. Phillips, the tubercu-
lOsis specialist who since last OctO-
ber has been holding clinics and in
many other ways aiding the fight
against tuberculosis in Delaware.
While no definite figures are OBJ
tainable at this time, from unofficial
sources, it is learned that the de-
crease in the victims of the white
plague has been about 20 per cent.
At this time DR.. Phillips is hold
ing 26 clinics in IL different towns
and cities throughout the state and
each county is pretty well covered.
Through the visiting nurses, persons
suspected of tubercular taint are ur-
ged to attend these clinics and sat
isfy themselves and their relatives
that they have no taint of the white
plague.
During the past six months more |
than 1000 persons have attended |
these clinics and been examined.
Whenever there was any suspicion
of affection, they have usually re-
turned at frequent intervals. Month
ly, there have been about $50 who
have come for the tests and of this
number there now remains $50 who
are known as patients with active
cases, and $50 others who are not
active-that is those who have had
the afflictiOn in mild form and have
been cured but in whom there is
still a chance of breaking down
again and who must be on guard
against such a calamity. Most of I
these cases are persons ranging
from 20 to 40 years of age.
That it is possible to be cured Of
if proper treatment is (
taken in time is the great hope held
out to those who show signs of hav-
Ing the disease. Usually the most
cases are found in the rural sections
as far as Delaware goes, but If
treatment is begun at once, the

DEFER ACTION ON
HAVEN FOR BIRDS
Governor, Game And Land Commits
siOners Guests Of d. ]. Crowley

Members of the State Fish and
Game Commission and the State
Public Lands Commission were en-
tertained last Friday at the home OF
D. J. Crowley, along the Indian
River Bay in Sussex county. Gov
ernor Robinson, who is an ex-oficio
member of the Land Commission,
also was present.
The object Of the meeting of the
two commissions at the home of Mr..
Crowley was to consider the estab-
fishing of a wild game and bird
sanctuary on an island in Indian
River Bay, or along the bay shore.
Mr.. Crowley owns some islands in
the bay that could be used for this
purpose.
While on the inspection trip in a
boat the members of the commits
sions were caught in a storm and
turned back before getting to the
islands. Nothing definite was done,
the two commissions taking the
matter of establishing a sanctuary
where cunning would be barred, un-
der advisement.
It was pointed out by Mr.. Crow
ley that bird sanctuary should not
be confused with a game preserve,
as the islands would be under the
care Of a game warden and no one
would be allowed upon them with a
gun.
Members of the Public Lands
Commission who attended the meet
ing were: Major R. R. Kenney, Of
Dover; DR.. Hiram r. Burton, Of
Lewes; Edward G. Walls, Of Smyr-
ma, and Harry ]. Anderson, Of Fair
mount.
The members Of the Fish and |
Games Commission present were: II.
G. Davis, of Laurel; Deputy Judge J.
F. Lynn, of Wilmington, and Wilbert |
Of Leipsic.

ever since. Greater problems of mu-
tual concern to public and companies
alike loom. So we hope to go on and
continue our cooperation to our mu-
tual advantage.
Recognition of the need for public
advice was quickly followed by con-
structive changes. Within the last
six years the old hxed-fare. which
was milestone around the neck of
the electric railways, has been aban-
ioned as unscientifc and unfair.

National Amateur Golf
Champ Not .'Petted" Baby

Atlanta. Oct. % (AP)-Bpbby
Jones, national amateur golf cham
pion. when a baby was rocked more
than modern physicians would have
approved, but was not 'petted too
much"
Mrs. Robert H. Jones. mother of
the golfer, made this statement in
connection with a discussion in At
lanta relative to present day methods
OF caring for babies as compared
with those % years ago.
She disagreed with a young matron
that the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world" no longer is true.
In Mrs. Jones opinion. babies still
are rocked and mothers can find
time to do their part of ruling the
world even If they spend large
part OF their time in nurseries.
Bobby was rocked because he was
a delicate child, and young Mrs. Bob
by Jones rocks her six months old
daughter, christened Clara Malone
but already known as Bobby" when
she Is sick or needs extra babying."
Grandfathers, in the opinion of
Grandmother Jones, still are the
principal causes of spoiled babies
but they are not to be blamed, for
they know nothing of rearing babies.
