Remember to Have The Child
rem Xaccinated.

Commenting on the notice that had
been inserted in the papers of Somer-
set county by the Board of Educa-
ton of that county, reminding par
ents of children who will reach school
age this winter, that the children
must present certificate of success
full vaccination against smallpox be-
fore they can be admitted to school,
DR.. John S. Fulton, Director of the
State Department of Health, express
ed hearty appreciation of the coop
Grafton Of the county boards of edu-
cation in securing the enforcement of
the State law.
"Maryland," he said, "has had an
enviable record in regard to small
poX. But it has been maintained only
by the close cooperation of parents,
schools, physicians, the general pub
lie, and public health authorities. The
State law requires the vaccination
of all children before they are admit
ted to school, By strict observance
of the law and by refusal to admit
children who have not been vacci-
mated, the school authorities are rem
dering a double service. They are
protecting the public as we'll as the
children.
children are especially suscepti-
BILE to smallpox, and successful vacci-
nation in infancy or early childhood
will protect them from this repulsive
and disfiguring disease certainly for
period of years; generally for
lifetime, though it is advisable to re-
peat between the ages of twelve and
twenty. A person who is exposed to
smallpox should lose no time in be-
ing revaccinated whenever smallpox
appears.
During the last two years there
have been serious outbreaks of small
pox in different parts of the coun-
try, especially in the states which
have no vaccination law, or do not
enforce the law. Michigan and Cali
fornia together recorded over $1,000
cases during the five-year period,
from 1919 to 1923. Maryland has es-
capped such visitations. During the
same five years $50 cases occurred in
Maryland.
1.-The State Department of Health
furnishes smallpox vaccine promptly
and free of charge to any physician
who requests it. So there is no ex-
cuse for failure to secure the protec-
ton which vaccination affords against
this disease"

Garrett County Public Health
Association Activities.

Are you interested in knowing how
much and what work Miss Wiedman,
Garrett County Health Nurse, has
done during her stay of four months
in your county? The beginning of a
new year is an appropriate time for a
summary.
The following schools, with a total
of 1853 pupils have been inspected:
Armistead, Accident (primary and
grammar schools and boys of the
nigh schooD, Blooming Rose, Bfant,
Boiling Springs, Bethlehem, Combi-
nation, Crellin -four rooms), Dodge,
Deep Greek, Elder Hill, Flatwoods,
Highland, Johnstown, Rush, Ridge
ley, Red House, Red Oak, Sang Run,
Shook Shop, Strawberry Hill (pri-
mary and grammar), Yough Lake.
A special effort has been made to
reach the isolated schools in the
southern part of the county while the
roads were passable.
Of the children inspected, one in
five has defective eyes; one in twenty
defective hearing; one in five enlaged
or imbedded tonsils; one in seven is
underweight and more than half have
defective teeth. Yoder and Strawber-
ry Hill schools have the lowest per-
centage of underweight children; Ac-
cident high school boys rank first in
correcting defects-that is, more who
need glasses are wearing them, more
teeth have been filled, etc.
Three tuberculosis clinics have
been held with a total of twenty
three patients examined.
Fourteen classes in nursing have
been conducted with a total of 1853 at
tending. Sixty-nine nursing and in
structive visits have been made in 80
different homes. A total of 1858
miles has been travelled.
The first six weeks of the new year
will be spent in Kitzmiller and vi
cinity.

To Quit Passenger Service on
Branches.

The report is current that the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
will make application to the Pennsyl-
vania Public Service Commissions be-
fore February LIST for permission to
abandon the company's passenger SER
vice on the Berlin, Confluence and
Oakland and Whites Greek branches
of their line, which the railway COM
pany claims it has been operating at
a loss from the time almost when the
branches were completed. The loss
on the Berlin branch has been very
heavy since the splendid cement road
was completed between Berlin and
Garrett. It is said that the passen-
ger train operated by the B. & o. be-
tween the points named has not av-
eraged six passengers per day for
many months. Passenger traffic on
the Confluence and Oakland branch,
which runs from Confluence to
Friendsville, has decreased heavily
since the highways between Confu-
ence and Addison and Somerfeld have
been improved.

HIS BLINDNESS Is BLAMED
ON MOONSHINE WHISKEY
John A. Murphy Tells Police His
Sight Is Gone When Placed
On Trial at Cumberland
Cumberland Times, Tuesday,


When John A. Murphy, of Utica,
N. Y, arrested Saturday night on a
drunkenness charge, was brought in
to police court for trial yesterday
afternoon he declared he could not
see. He blamed his blindness on
moonshine liquor. He told the police
he took big drink from a truck driv-
er on Front street, Saturday after
noon. He was examined by DR.. Thos.
W. 'Koon, who placed him under the
care of Dr.. G. o. Sharretts.
Murphy, who is of powerful build
and about 35 years old, claims to be
a member of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. He is married and stated that
his wife left him in Utica, N. Y, on
election day. He carried letters from
Merton Babcock, of that city, his
brother-in-la
Murphy came here Wednesday from
Oakland, Md, where he worked as
carpenter. On Wednesday night he
was arrested for being drunk and re-
leased under $40 cash bond the next
day. Saturday he was again arrest
ed on the same charge. Murphy told
how a man with a quart bottle of
liquor offered him drink and that
he took several from the bottle. He
said he had no recollection of what
took place afterwards and that his
eyes began to hurt him Sunday and
that his sight began gradually to fail
then. He said this was the first time
he ever became blind from drinking
liquor.

AN ELECTRIC FIRE ALARM
SYSTEM TO BE INSTALLED
Oakland Will Be Equipped With
Latest Electrically Oper-
ated Device

Recently the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil adopted an order authorizing the
installation of an electric siren to be
used in sounding fire alarms and the
same is expected to be in operation
within a comparatively short time.
The siren will be located at the fire
department quarters on Third street
and will be connected with all parts
Of town by a series of fire alarm
boxes placed at street corners and OPP
Grated in the same manner as alarms
are sounded in large centers.
At this meeting of the municipal
authorities the fact of the unconsti-
tutionality of the law passed at the
last session of the Legislature requir-
ing all voters participating in munic-
ipal elections in Oakland to register,
was brought to the attention of that
body by City Attorney Julius c. Rem
ringer, who stated that upon a care
full examination Of the law he was
Of the opinion that the measure was
unlawful. Mr.. Renninger's position
was strengthened by the opinion of
one or two other attorneys who fully
concurred in his views.
With this law being ineffective the
municipal elections will be conducted

WATER BEING IMPOUNDED
In HYDRO-ELECTRIC DAM
Reservoir with Capacity of Over
Eight Billion Cubic Feet
Being Filled.

Friday morning at nine o'clock the
gates at the dam erected by the Gen
eral Construction Corporation for the
Youghiogheny Hydro-Electric Corpo-
ration on Deep Creek, eight miles
north of Oakland, were closed and
the immense lake thus created by the
erection of the dam eighty feet high
is now slowly filling. 1t will be sew
eral weeks, however, under normal
conditions and with a normal flow of
water through the Deep Greek Val
ley before the reservoir is completely
filled and the thousands Of acres of
land purchased by the Eastern Land
Company are inundated.
The territory to be covered by the
water when the reservoir is filled
will reach for distance of ten miles
from the breast of the dam to a point
near the top of the divide on Back
bone Mountain west of North Glade.
At the breast of the dam the water
will be approximately eighty-fve feet
deep gradually becoming shallower as
the higher ground is reached east
ward from the dam.
At the new State road bridge SPAN
ming Deep Greek, which was opened
Saturday afternoon at three o'clock,
at which time the old one-way bridge
was abandoned and later torn out,
the water yesterday afternoon was
five feet deep in the channel. When
the level is reached by the water it
will be more than fifty feet deep.
The capacity of the reservoir is
more than eight billion cubic feet. A
cubic foot of water is equal to seven
and one-half gallons-an amount, re-
duced to gallons beyond the minds
comprehension.
While the work on this unit Of the
power company's project insofar as
the dam proper is concerned, is al
most completed, it will require sever
al weeks to complete the work of lin
ing the tunnel carrying the water
from the dam to the power house, a
mile and quarter away.
