Philadelphia, has added a summer
course to open July 6 to continue I'M
til August 18th, it was announced

brary School, Mrs. Anne w. Holland.
One of the most interesting features
of this summer course is the fact that
the Carnegie Foundation of New York
has furnished sufficient endowment
to make the course practically free to
school librarians and teachers. This
was done on the recommendation of
The American Library Association
after an investigation of The DreXel
Library School.
The need for such course, it is

HEALTH CNOME SAYS
Use PLENTY OF SOAP
Children's Diseases Can Often Be
Prevented By Washing Hands
Before Eating

According to an announcement made
by the Health Gnome, during his lat
est visit to the State Department Of
Heath, the Health Gnome has new
assistant, sort of junior health Off
Ger. Like others who are working in
public health, the assistant is a spec
ialist devoting himself to one particu-
lar line of work-his speciality is
"Clean Hands before Eating" That
implies also, that each child shall have
his own individual towel.
For the present, the assistant has
been assigned to duty among the kir.-
dergarten children and the first grad
ers in some of the schools-"those
who are beginning to form habits of
cleanliness and health in connection
with their school work." the Health
Come explained.
"The official title Of my assistant"
the Health Gnome said, is The Ser
lver.' He goes on duty just before lunch
time, and you will never guess what
he serves, SO I'll have to tell you.--it
IL soap. Did you ever see liquid soap?
It is the sort you find in some rail
way stations Well, that is the kird
my assistant carries-of coure other
kinds of soap would do just as we'll
He has it put up in little bottle with
holes in the top like a salt shaker.
The children hold out their hands,
palms upward; he sprinkles a few
drops of the soap on them and the
children scamper off to the washroom,
and wash and dry their hands. Then
they come back and get their crack
ers and milk.
"Of course each child has either a
paper towel or brings his own towel
from home. All sorts of diseases that
children pick up from each other at
home and in school-especially dis
eases like measles, scarlet fever,
colds, whooping cough sore throat, in
fluenza and pink eye-can be spread,
you know, when more than one child
uses the same towel. And that is true
of the towels at home as we'll as those
I school.
"My assistant hopes" the Health
Gnome continued "that every child
who learns to wash his hands before
eating his school lunch, will rcmem-
Der to wash his hands before he sits
down at the table for his meals at
home, and that he will be just as care
full to have his own towel, and keep
his own germs to himself at home as
at school.
"Did l hear Guy say something
about his drinking cup? Why of
course he has his own cup or glass. No
child who had learned anything about
health and the way disease spreads
would use another persons drinking
cup or glass;"

Incensed over the mysterious death
Of her small litter of offsprings, a
huge collie dog owned by Mrs. Hattie
Derrickson, of Berlin hurled itself
upon Miss Etzel Rayne, 16 year old
High school girl, walking on West
street, at noon Wednesday of last
week, inficting severe gashes in the
leg of the young girl, before witness
es succeeded in beating off the dog.
The girl victim was enroute to her
home from Buckingham school fol-
lunch. The attack occurred while she
was passing the Derrickson home, the
irate dog chasing the frightened girl
into the county highway.
Immediately following the attack
a local physician was summoned
Several deep gashes on the leg of
the girl were cauterized and treated
It was clearly brought out that the
dog was not victim of hydrophobia
at the time of the attack, by the ex-
aiming physician.
Miss Rayne is a member of the
Sophomore Class at the High school
and is the attractive daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Dale Rayne of West street,
extended.

After two attempts Talbot county
entered the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association last week at meeting
held in the Court House. A week be-
fore several prominent men of the
shore visited Easton and explained
the movement to boost the entire
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and several counties of Della
ware.
At that time very few Talbot peo-
pie were present, but those who were
promised to have representative
gathering on hand to further discuss
the subject.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

Somerset county watermen will be
interested TO know that Virginia pass
ed the recipral measure bill which
will protect all sponge crabs in GER
tain area of waters in that state
where young crabs breed by the mil
lions. For about two years there has
ben a controversy over the bill owing
to the fact that difference of opin-
ion existed as to whether such drastic
measures should be taken to protect
female crabs.
Year-round protection fer sponge
crabs in the Chesapeake Bay was ap-
proved by the Virginia Legislature
in its closing hours.
Passage of tie bill by the Virginia
Legislature followed long fight by
the conservation authorities of Vir-
ginia and Maryland for the protection
Of the female crabs while in the egg
bearing stage. Sin
Under the previous laws the sponge
crabs were protected from June 18th
until September. Underline new law,
Virginia fishermen are forbidden to
have in their possession either the
egg-bearing crab or female crabs from
which the sponge has been removed
forcibly at any time during the year,
under a minimum penalty Of $40 for
each crab taken illegally.

Salisbury, in all likelihood, will get
the 1927 annual convention of the 34th
District Rotary International. An in
vitation was extended the group, at
the annual meeting in Chambersburg,
Pa, last week, by the local delegation
A large majority Of the 80 clubs of
five states, are said to favor the East
ern Shore city. York, Pa, is the 9th
err bidder. The decision will be made
in August.
Much interest was manifested in
the Eastern Shore at the meeting and,
it is said, if Salisbury is decided upon
o record-breaking attendance is likely
to ensue.

TINKHAM ASSAILS COURT.
Boston Congressman Finds 1T is a

The World Court is not a free and

cannot join such a court and not become
entangled in the political questions of

rights as an Independent nation unUer

Such is the opinion of Congressman
George Holden Tinkham of Massachu,
sets, long q personal friend of President
Coolidge, as set down in a fiery letter
to one Of the Senators engaged in the
Senate fight.
COrgressmGn Tinkbam's communion

Writes Congressman Tirkham in part:
AN audaclous and last desperate at
tempt is being made by internationaiists
and occult foreign influences TO force the
United States into the League of Nations
by way of the World Court.
PERIL OF REPUBLIC.
The peril of our Republic today is
the fragrant coercion Of affectible and
timorous public servants by highly or
Qenized and heavily financed raucou3
minorities. These minorities have at
tackled successfully our liberty and our
constitution; are trampling under foot
the cardinal American doctrine Of sepa-
ration of church and State; would aboI-
ish patriotism and attempt to supercede
all principles and policies which have
been distinctly American.
The league court is a creature of the
league The league is an alien political
and military mechanism. The court is
chosen by it and is its servant. It is
paid by it, pepsioned by it, and is its
legal adviser and political interpreter.
With the failure of the league its ex-
istence would cease. 1t must serve its
master.
1T is true that traditional American
policy favors avoidance of war and a
settlement Of international controversies
by arbitration of judicial processes And
this is being used as a crafty appeal by
those who are in favor of the entrance
of the United States into the League

French Sinking Fund
 Plans Meeting Approval

Versailles, France, Aug. 10 P>- Premier Poincare's scheme to give constitutional weight to his sinking fund measure for refunding the floating debt moved forward rapid ly at the first session of the national assembly today, notwithstanding the obstructive tactics by the socialists and communists.
 The assembly, comprising both houses of parliament in joint ses- sion, is the fourth summoned for ac- tion on the constitution since the refunding of the third republic. It met the tactics of the socialists and communists by adopting, 515 to S47, an amendment to the rules limiting discussion and designed to prevent further ogstruction.
 After voting urgent procedure for the sinking fund bill, the assembly adjourned until afternoon while committees went through the for mality of examining the measure.

Through tie Static

The first semblance of good radio night since Hector was quite young, and that's been some time. or course, there was some static, but we didn't care. The radio seemed to have its old kick and vigor, seldom noticed during the past winter. Lots of volume and everything.
 We made late evening of 1t last night and consequently the early evening features were not among those that we heard. We started In at WIZ, New York, with Harold Leonard's orchestra. And maybe you think the station wasn't com ing in right. And maybe you're bug house, aussi. When The World Goes Drifting By" and My Own lone" were two of the selections, the haunting violin taking prom inent part in the proceedings.
 Again we heard the Capitol the ater organ through WTIC, and we enjoyed the program just as much as we have enjoyed others in the past. Walter Dawley is making name for himself on the air and there's no reason why he shouldn't. His weekly programs are among the most interesting features of the Hartford station. Last night he played among others, Battle Hymn 0. The Republic" John Browns Body" and Farewell Mother" three songs Of the period Of the Civil War.
 
 We received quite shock when we tuned in WTAM, Cleveland, find ing that it was coming through with great volume and unusual clarity. There was little static at that time. A studio program was being offered and we sat through several well pre- sented songs, with orchestral accom- iment. sidewalks of New York,
