FIRST PRESIDENT WAS
John HANSEN

Who was the first President of the
United States. If we add the words
/" In Congress Assembled" it was
not George Washington, but John
Hansen, of Maryland, who first bore
that title under the Articles OF Con-
federation which preceded the
present national Constitution.
In the July number OF the Ma
tional Republic, H. o. Bishop
sketches the interesting and useful
career of this eminent Marylander.
He was leader in the movement for
independence, and was responsible
for keeping Maryland out Of the
confederation of colonies until Vir-
ginia, New York and Connecticut
surrendered their claims on the
black country" which later became
the Northwest Territory and finally a
great group of states of the
Union.-National Press.

SPEAKING OF EGGS

Few people who keep hens or eat
eggs realize what big thing the egg
industry is. The United States pro-
duces about 2,0O0,OO0,000 dozen
eggs annually; but China, the largest
producer in the world, produces
more than 3,OOO,O00,000 dozen.
Before the world war Russia was the
largest reproducing country in the
world. Russia has dropped below
China and the United States.
In 1928 China exported more than
91,745,OOO dozen eggs, either in the
shell or preserved in some form. Ot
this total 24,O0O,O0O pounds (pres-
erved) representing about $4,000
600 dozen in the she'll went to the
United States.
The United States exports only
about 3O,7OO,OOO dozen eggs, and
imports from 100000 to $4,000
900 dozen, in preserved form.
These large importations tend to de-
press the price of American eggs in
the American market; Congress
placed an import duty of 8 cents per
dozen eggs in the shell, and 6 cents
per pound ON preserved eggs. The
tariff of 1918 admitted eggs in the
shell per pound of l per cent ad
valorem.

SERVICE PARAMOUNT AIM

The forty-eighth annual conver1-
ton of the national Electric Light
Association recently held in San
Franciso gave striking evidence of
the manner in which the modern
public utility has taken the people
into it's confidence.
Here were gathered national and
international leaders in electrical
development. They gave their time
and energy in discussing ways and
means for the electric industry to
render a constantly better service
to the consumers
The convention was thrown open
to the public, which was cordially in
vited to attend and hear all discus
sions. After listening to the various
addresses on many subjects, an out
slider at the convention would be
impressed with the fact that the
great aim of the modern utility COM
pany is, how to give constantly
better service and to have it's GUS
toners fully acquainted with its
problems.
The convention did not limit its
program to matters of interest to
electric companies only. Men prom
inent in many walks of life, includ-
ing members of the United States
Cabinet, National head of the
Grange, President of National AS
ISOLATION of Railway & Utility Com
missioners, heads of great manufac-
turing institutions, leaders in the
railway world, representatives OF
foreign nations, assurances execu-
tives, engineers and public officials
gave their views on electrical de-
velopment and, it's relation to ma
tional progress.
1t was evident that the electric
industry is fully aware Of it's OPP
portunity and its responsibility from
the standpoint of getting electricity
to the farmer, encouraging the cleo
IRRIGATION of railroads, and making
electricity available in every possible
manner to tighten the burdens OF
mankind and remove much OF the
drudgery which has heretofore at
tend HOUSEHOLD duties.
The atmosphere pervading the
whole great meeting, at which some
5000 delegates were in attendance,
was evidence of the scientific basis
upon which the electric industry is
building. Customer and employee
ownership coupled with a sound
public relations policy are its rock
foundation, which will insure it's
earning power, satisfactory service
and ability to expand and meet all
future needs of the country.

thousands of boys and girls each
year and by demonstrations, which
they themselves have conducted, has
pointed out to them the latent pos
sibilities of agriculture and rural
life.
Poultry, fruits and vegetables,
soil improvement, drainage, the use
of lime and fertilizers, the grading
and packing of farm products, the
production of canning crops, fairs
and community shows, insect and
disease control, have all presented
continuous agricultural problems
which the Extension Service has
helped and is still helping to solve"

DRY WEATHER CAUSES IN
CREASE IN FOREST
FIRES

More forest fires have occurred in
the first six months of this year than
the whole of last year, and almost
twice as much property damage has
been done.
Figures for the first six months of
this year have just been announced
by G. D. Marckworth, assistant State
forester, in charge of forest fires.
Mr.. Marckworth said 1852 forest
fires have been reported for the first
six months of this year. These
fires covered in area of 3O,6O6 acres
and resulted in property loss OF
$143,23S, he reported.
Last year." Mr.. Marckworth
said, 1--WE had 269 forest fires, which
covered an area of 1884 acres and
resulted in $1,000 damage. 1t is
time the State was waking up to the
alarming increase in fires and care
taken to prevent them.
1.-THE dry weather in June ac-
counts for the high susceptibility OF
the fields and forests to fires, but
it does not excuse persons from
failing to exercise more than usual
care when they know forest lands
themselves are so easy to flame in
periods of drought.
In the first half of this year forty
fires, covering an area OF 4,l77 acres
and resulting in $34,695 damage,
were reported in Anne Arundef
county alone, according to the
report. Forest fires in Garrett coun-
ty. this year have resulted in prop
erty loss of $32,163; in Allegany,
S2O,391, and n Prince Georges's
S16,510.
Forest fires have resulted in
property loss in thirteen other coun-
ties, as follows: Cecil, $7,232; Tai
bot, S4,754; Charles, $3,77$; Fred
erick, S2,996; Wicomico, $2,96O;
Worcester, $2,626; Montgomery
S2,527; Calvert, $2,5O4; Baltimore,
1851: Washington, $1,46S; Har-
ford, $348; st. Mary's, \$29l, and
Howard, $52.
The fact that no fires were re-
ported in Queen Anne's, Somerset,
Carroll, Caroline, Kent and Dorches-
ter counties is not proof that fires
did not occur in those counties. Mr..
Marckworth explained. 1t indicates
only that there are no forest war
dens in those counties, he added.
Mr.. Marckworth advised campers
and those occupying shore and sum-
mer homes to exercise particular
care against fires. He said that in
many instances fires are caused by
smokers throwing cigar and cigarette
butts from automobiles.

LITTLE GATEwAYs TO
HEALTH
From State Dept. Of Health.

From State Dept. of Health.
A visitor at a recent child health
conference was started to hear
an attractive young mother say to her
curly-headed four year Nov open
the pearly gates.'' The little girl
who was an experienced player of
the health game Immediately re-
sponded by opening her mouth and
showing two rows of well cared for
pearly white teeth.
Speaking of the care that should
be given to the baby" teeth to
keep these pearly gates in good
order, DR.. Knox, Chief Of the State
Bureau of Child Hygiene, said," two
things are necessary-the right sort
of food, and intelligent care. 1t is
a mistake to- think that the first
teeth can be safety neglected on the
principle that they are only the first
teeth and will be gone in few years
at any rate. The first teeth are as
important to the child as the per-
manent teeth are to the grown-up.
We have been very slow in realizing
the relation between sound teeth
and good health in the adult, so it
is, not to be wondered at that
mothers do not realize the relation
between a child's health and the
condition Of that child's teeth.
1.-The experience of the State
Bureau of Child Hygiene at the
health conferences for babies and
preschool children throughout the
State, parallels that in similar con-
ferences in other states-two out of
every three children we examine
have badly cared for or completely
neglected teeth. This is true even
of children who are exceedingly
well cared for in other ways.
Sound teeth are almost literally
gateways to health. The care neces-
sary to produce them goes back a
long way, and long time before a
baby's teething troubles begin. The
foundations of a baby's teeth are
derived from the food Of the
mother-to-be. That is one of the
reasons why she should plan her
diet SO that it will be sure to include
the foods that will furnish the
elements necessary for good tooth
and bone building calcium, or
lime, as we usually speak OF it, and
mineral salts. She gets these from
milk and green vegetables. The
same elements are needed through
aut the entire growing period OF a
;hild's life.
"As to care: Children can be
saved from suffering it, they are
taught to keep their teeth and their
mouths clean, and free from decay
ing matter. Before the teeth are
cut, the mouth of young baby,
cleans itself; injury may be done by
even a supposedly gentle swabbing.
After the teeth begin to come, a
baby's mouth can be kept in good
condition by gentle cleansing with
a swab of cotton wrapped around
the mothers finger. After the
child is two or three years old, it
can be taught to use soft brush.
At the first sign of decay, child
should be taken to a dentist.
