DORA ELSIE LIPSCOMB

Miss Dora Elsie Lipscomb, aged so
years, months and u days, daugh-
ter of the lateJoshua B. Lipscomb and
Mrs. Jane Lipscomb, departed this
life on April 18th, 1925 at her home
east of Mountain Lake Park. Her
funeral was conducted by Rev. Calvin

Fultz, Of Loeb Lynn, on the 18th inst.
Miss Lipscomb was converted young
in life and Joined the United Brethren
church at the age of eight years Of
which church she remained a faith
full member until death. The funeral
services were held at the home farm,
attended by a large number of neigh
bors and friends and her body was
laid to rest on her own farm at a
spot selected by her. Her father and
one sister preceded her to the spirit
world. Aside from teaching school
a few years, Miss Lipscomb remained

IIlS uGdIll VI IICI 1clCllCI, oOlllS lNSAN I
years ago, she and her sister, Miss
Minnie, remained at home and cared
for their aged mother, for which act
they commend the respect Of all. The
deceased was always of a cheerful
disposition and aimed to make her
life worth living. Miss Lipscomb I'M
derwent an operation for appendi
citis some five years ago, from the eff
fects of which she never fully re-
gained her strength, and then con-
tracing the influenza weakened her
constitution until dropsy developed,
followed by a second attack of infu-
enza, caused her death. She is sur
vived by her mother, one brother and
four sisters, besides large number
of relatives and friends to mourn.

AUTOMOBILE WRECKED
Driver John HI. Sanders Badly
Cut and Bruised-Children
In Car Escape Injury

John H. Sanders, living at Mt. Lake
Park, was more or less seriously in
jured this morning when his car turn
ed completely over on the Crellin road
about 500 o'clock.
Mr.. Sanders left Oakland unaccom-
panied few minutes before the ac-
cident happened, and along the road
he invited three children of L. C.
Shaffer, of near Crellin, to ride with
him. The children were carrying milk
in bottles to a customer in Crellin,
and after the children had seated
themselves in the car, the bottles were
set on the back of the seat, the car
being a Ford coupe.
At point in the road near the in
tersection of the cinder road leading
into the village of Crellin, Mr.. San
ders attempted to catch one of the
bottles which had toppled from its
place and in his endeavor he pulled
the steering wheel, causing the car to
go over the embankment which is ap-
proXimately ten feet high, the car
landing on its top with wheels in the
air.
Mr.. Sanders was badly cut about
the hands and face and was badly
bruised on the right hip and otherwise
shaken up. One of the three children
received a scratch about the face, the
other two being fortunate in escaping
injury. None of the windows of the
coupe were broken, but the cuts the
victims received were made by the
broken milk bottles.

TOT ACCIDENTALLY HANGS
HIMSELF In FATHERS BARN
Three-Year Old James Dress
Found Strangled to Death
on Farm Near FinZel.

James Dress, three years old, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony Dress, who
live on farm a mile north of Finzel,
in Garrett county, accidentally hung
himself in the barn of his father at
ten o'clock last Thursday morning.
A scarf worn around his head in
some manner caught on a large nail
driven in the barn wall, frightened I'M
der his chin, stifled his cries and thus
slowly strangled him to death.
The child's body was discovered by
the mother about ten minutes after
he was noticed missing from the
house. Life was extinct.
According to the father, the little
boy had been playing about the house
and wandered down into the barn,
located about one hundred feet from
the home. 1t is supposed he attempt
ed to climb up to the hay-mow above
on a ladder nailed against the side of
the wall. The child evidently slipped
and in falling the scarf tied about
his head and jaw caught on the nail.
He hung suspended, unable to call for
help, until death ensued.
The Dress family have another lit
tie child, girl

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING.
is Now Carried On In Twenty
one Maryland Counties.

Organized public health nursing,
under the direction of the State De-
partment of Health, is now carried on
in twenty-One of the twenty-three
counties of the State, according to a
statement recently issued by DR.. John
S. Fulton, Director of the State De-
partment of Health. The total num-
Der of nurses engaged in the county
work is forty-two, some of the coun-
ties having more than one nurse. All
of the nurses are engaged in general
lied nursing. The two counties that
are still without nursing service are
Queen Anne's and st. Mary's.
The nursing service is financed in
various ways. In view of the impor-
tance of the work done for mothers
and children, and the large proper
ton of the time of the nurse that is
spent in service of that character, the
work of public health nurses during
the last six months has been made
possible in eleven of the counties by
appropriations from the State Bu-
reau of Child Hygiene, which have
been added to sums raised in the
counties themselves. These appro-
priations are made with the under
standing that as the work develops
and as its necessity is demonstrated,
the expense will gradually be assum-
ed locally.
During the three months ending
March 81 health conferences forbabies
and children under school age were
held under the direction of the Blu
reau of Child Hygiene in 2S towns,
in eleven counties-Allegany, Anne
Arundel, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Gar
rett, Hartford, Kent, Talbot, Wicomico
and Worcester. The aim of these
conferences is to show mothers how
to keep their children we'll. In con-
nection with them 651 children under
seven years of age were given a care
full physical examination by the ply
sicians in charge. No medical treat
ments were given at any of these
conferences, but all children who
needed such attention were referred
to their family physicians. Over half
Of the children needed dental care,
and in a number of instances follow
up dental clinics were arranged to
meet this need by the local nurse.
