made each year was over three times
as great in 1925 as in 1920. During
that year, the total number of tests
and analyses made in the Central and
the Cumberland laboratories was b.
600. In 1925, the total was 52,22S.
According to recent reports from
the State Department of Health the
value of the tests and analyses made
in 1921, without charge to the people
of Maryland, if charged for at COM
mercial rates, amounted to 1882, 462.
The value of the tests made in 1925,
estimated at commercial rates,
reached total of over S327,5S0. In
Guided in this were 954O tests for ty-
phoid; 1872 for diphtheria; 927 tu-
berculosis examinations; 4S43 bacter-
Illogical analyses of milk; 1867 bac-
THEOLOGICAL analyses of water, and
9177 complete treatments of anti-ty-
phoid vaccine. Over 1000 miscellan-
eous examinations for which rates are
not obtainable, are not included in the
estimated value Of the work of the
laboratories in 1925.

really potentially less dangerous than
its uncertain and ofttimes mechani-
cally and structurally weak prede-
cessors.
With this development of safer
vehicle has come, however, the prob
lem of yearly increasing thousands of
cars to congest traffic and more thous-
ands of drivers to operate them. I'm
fortunately, the drivers of today are
not, in my judgment, as safe to them
selves and other users of the high
ways as were those who used the
more uncertain products of earlier
manufacturers. Not alone ignorantly
poor driving, but deliberate arrogance,
disregard of the rights of others and
criminal hit-and-run tactics are grow
ing with alarming persistence.

Service Rendered by State Bac-
THEOLOGICAL Laboratories.

Under the title of maryland Ply
sicians Served by Local Laborator-
ies," an interesting account of the
service rendered to the people of
Maryland, by the Bureau of Bacter-
iology of the State Department of
Health through the Central and
Branch laboratories, that has attrac-
ted widespread attention, is given in
the current number of the Nations
Health" The article was prepared,
late in the fall by DR.. R. C. Salter, the
brilliant and greatly beloved young
scientist, who was chief of the Bureau
from 1920 until his death on Deem
Der 5, 1925, and who was largely res
ponsible for the development of the
plan under which laboratory facilities
have been extended to every section
of the state.
Reference is made in the article,
to the fact that each extension has
been undertaken in response to local
demand and to meet community need.
Only one branch interchangeable one
in Cumberland-was in existence
when DR.. Salter become chief of the
State Bureau of ,Bacteriology in 1920.
Now, in addition to the Central
Laboratory in Baltimore City, there
are branches at Cumberland, estab-
! lished in 1915; Hagerstown, 1921;
Hurlock, 1922; Frederick, 1923, and
Washington, opened in 1924. Besides
being centers for diagnostic tests and
analyses, the laboratories serve as
storage and distributing points for
anti-toxin, smallpox and typhoid vac
cines, for supplies furnished to pat
tents suffering from tuberculosis; and
for other materials distributed by
health officers, physicians and public
health nurses in connection with the
statewide activities for the control of
communicable diseases
A map of the state and other illus
trations, show the ways through
which this net work of laboratories is
operated so that no doctor has to wait
more than twenty-four hours for a
report of test made for typhoid,
diphtheria or other communicable
diseases, and so that no child who
comes down with diphtheria is more
than three hours distant from the re-
lief giving anti-toxin.
The cooperative principle has en-
| tered into the maintenance of all of
the laboratories. The Central Labora-
tory and the one at Hurlock are finan-
ced entirely from state funds. The
others are financed through combina-
lions of state, county, school or other
local funds.

The grounding did not see his
shadow on Tuesday as the sky was
overcast throughout the day, never
theless on the following day one of
the severest snow storms of the WIN
ter swept over this section, covering
the earth beneath a blanket of snow
to the depth of about eighteen inches.
The snow was accompanied by high
wind which blew the flakes together
in great drifts, blocking many of the
public roads and as a result this ham
let was without mail for a couple of
days.
On Tuesday, February End, at 500
o'clock p. M, at the Lutheran parson-
age in this village Miss Mary Broad
water and Mr.. Lawrence Brenneman
were quietly united in the holy bonds
of matrimony by Rev. E. E. Camp
bell. The contracting parties are very
excellent young people of this COM
munity, the bride being one of Gar
rett county's school teachers now in
charge of the Beachy school. We ex-
tend congratulations and best wishes
for smooth, happy and prosperous
life.
Mr.. Lawrence Buckle was much oc-
cupied last week with the breaking
of fractions young colt and many
times lost his temper, but behold this
week he is all smiles and the colt and
his FRANKS are forgotten because

Saturday night and left a daughter
to occupy his time and claim his at

AUTOMOBILES SAFER, BUT
DRIVERS TAKE CHANCES
Commissioner Baughman Says
Each Year Brings Larger Re-
spOnsibilities for Owners.
By E. AUSTIN BAUGHMAN,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles

Once each year-this year for the
twentieth consecutive time-the an
nual Baltimore Automobile Show, un-
der the auspices of the Baltimore Au-
tomobile Trade Association, gives fit
ting opportunity for pause and a
stock-taking in the matter of auto
motove de. -lopment during the pre-
ceding twelve months.
The dealers, as Baltimore and Mary
land representatives of the inventors,
engineers and manufacturers, come
forward and present to the users and
owners of cars-along with the pros
pective users and owners of cars-the
accomplishments of the year in de-
velopment of better, safer, more COM
Portable and more dependable We
hicles.
Reviewing the years accomplish
ments along automotive lines, the car
seller discusses in the public prints
the developments in cars and Access
series, the representatives of the auto
owners clubs discuss the betterment
of the conditions from the standpoint
of car owners and car drivers, the Off
Gals having in charge the regulation
of the constantly increasing automo-
!. 1e traffic consider developments to
Is Yet their problems, the ordinary
u pedestrian "sits tight and says moth
ing"
The automobile owner and driver
enjoy the show, take the view that it
was all planned for his benefit and APP
parently totally overlooks one very
important point, which IS this:
Every year places more responsible
ity upon the manufacturer, dealer and
law enforcement officials. These re-
sponsibilities bring more worry and
more complicated problems to both
classes. Certainly with ten automo-
biles speeding by the street intersec
ton where but one automobile
crept by few years ago, the difficult
ties and worries of the pedestrian
must be getting more or less monu-
mental.
