STILL, AFTER FOUR YEARS
OPERATING, DESTROYED
Walter Smith, Glenn Dixon and
David Shank Caught By Fed
eral Agents at the Plant.

A moonshine still of considerable
proportions has been known to exist
for several years-four, to be exact
according to information given out
since it was discovered and destroyed
last Friday night, in a growth of
pines along one of the upper reaches
of Deep Greek, a mile or two from
McHenry, the still having been spot
ted and the operators identified two
or three weeks ago by the State Off
GERS Of Garrett county who passed
the word on to the Federal operatives
in Cumberland, with the result that a
raid was planned for last Wednesday
night, but court being in session and
other matters interfering, the raid
was postponed until Friday night at
which time Chief Dunmire, assisted
by Agent Jarvis, from Cumberland,
lit down on the bunch and caught
them while in the act of manufacture
ing several hundred gallons of contra
band.
The parties arrested in the raid, all
Of whom were engaged in brewing
the liquor were Walter Smith, Glenn
Dixon and David Shank, the latter an
old offender who has been in court
several times on similar charges,
while his associates, so far as can be
learned, are still novices at the bust
ness.
The officers placed the men under
arrest, confscated their still and the
several barrels of mash found in the
building and destroyed it. The often
ders will be examined by the U. S.
Commissioner in Cumberland and in
all probability be held for the action
Of the Federal grand jury.

School Teeth

A taxpayer brought suit recently,
in a supposedly enlightened commu-
nifty, TOTO stop the school board
from paying for dental inspection and
care of pupils teeth in the public
schools. The high light of the suit
was the testimony of the principal, to
this effect:
She found an Improvement of 1913
percent in the mental ability of school
children who were taught to take
proper care of their teeth. The per-
centage was arrived at by painstak-
ing observation and checking up their
work before and after the dental in
struction.
Call it one hundred percent i'm
provement, or call it half that much,
if you like. If it will effect only 25
percent improvement, or only 10 per
cent, in the mental keenness and stu
dious accomplishments of the pupils,
such work is we'll worth paying for.
Still more valuable, possibly, is the
better morale that is likely to go with
a clean, well kept outfit Of teeth.

A Real Santa Claus at The Gar.
rett National Bank.

Today and tomorrow Santa Claus
will do duty at the Garrett National
Bank and keep faith with the hun
dreds of children attracted by the an
nouncement appearing in The Repub-
lican last week that he would be there
in person to hand out Christmas tok-
ems in the real old-time way-a stock
ing full of candy surmounted with an
orange. Santa was on time, as he al
ways has been, and when he appeared
in the lobby of the bank this morning
there were several there to greet him
and to receive his CHEEKY "Merry
Christmas" There is also a very beau
tifully decorated Christmas tree in
the bank which is decorated with col
ored lights and attractive ornaments.

MOTORIZED FIRE ENGINE
WAS RECEIVED YESTERDAY
Oakland Now Has Equipment
Equalled Only By Towns of
Greater PretentiOns.

A completely equipped, first class
fire engine made its appearance yes
terday in Oakland and will hereafter
be known as Oakland F. D. No. /.
The engine, high powered Loco
mobile, cost approximately $1,000 and
is capable of making 70 miles an hour
when called upon to do so. The hose
which is somewhat over 1000 feet in
length together with the engine, will
reduce the fire menace in Oakland and
vicinity at least so percent, it was as
serted by several business men.
The pump is capable of putting
out" 400 gallons of water per minute
under high pressure, and will take its
supply either from a river sor stream
or from the fire plugs. "The total
destruction of the home of Mr.. Louis
Bush last winter was due to lack of
pressure" commented Walter w.
Dawson, cashier of the First National
Bank, "but recurrence of a similar
catastrophe will be practically inn
possible with the new equipment"
Because the new equipment will re-
duce the fire menace, the Oakland
Fire Department is now working with
the insafance underwriters in an at
tempt to lower the insurance rate.
The department is now composed of 25
men, with George Kerins, fire chief.
Emroy Bolden, assistant fire chief,
Bill" Browning and John Sweeney,
fire captains, Milton Sincell, secre-
tary, and Walter Dawson, treasurer.
The town and the fire department
had to cooperate in order that new
equipment might be obtained The
fire department promised first pay
ment of between seven and eight hum
dred dollars, and the town in turn
promised to meet the ensuing pay
ments on the machine. This $500 will
be raised by subscriptions and soli-
citation throughout this and neigh
boring towns. 1t is said that Loeb
Lynn Heights has already pledged
$500, and it is hoped that the balance
of the first payment will be obtained
by voluntary contributions. The new
machine is at present being housed in
the kerins Brothers Garage, but will
shortly be removed to the fire house
at the City Hall. The fire engine
that was formerly used will be kept in
readiness for any emergency and will
be known as Oakland F. D. No. 2.

AUTOMOBILE STOLEN
Chevrolet Coupe Belonging to P.

mediately reported to the officers, no
trace has been found of the machine
although diligent efforts have been
made to do so. A Rotary emblem was
displayed in the rear glass of the
car at the time it was taken.

APPRECIATION OF ROYALTY

In view of the growing frequency
of royal visits to America, readers
may be interested in the spirit shown
when the Prince of Wales recently
visited the Gold Coast of West Afri-
ca. The following journalistic gem is
from Vox Populi, a native newspaper
of that region.
"Words adequately describable of
the significance, historical, political
and otherwise, of this exceptionally
unique and unprecedented visit to
West Africa of His Majesty the
Kings eldest son are to US unavall-
able-unavailable, indeed, because
every effort of ours to obtain fitting
terms and suitable phrases is abso-
lutely drowned by the excessive glad
dening of our hearts and merging of
our very souls at the joyous fact that
in our own lifetime, by design of Pro-
violence Divine, we have been bliss
fully privileged and honored to see in
person, yea, face to face, him whom
many ancient Kings, rich and noble
men, would have rejoiced to have
seen.
Herein, then, is the warranty for
that almost inextinguishabe out
burst of merriment, delight and ecs-
tasy of our people. Like petrol
poured into the confagrant flames,
our joys have been still more ablazed
by the several arrangements and
decorations undertaken here and
there to celebrate this festive occas-
ion and to make the festive reception
of our royal visitor a supreme ex-
quisite one"
Some tribute, Ell, what? And that,
seems to give adequate expressions
to the emotions of some excitable
Americans when crown prince or a
queen deigns to visit our country.

Oakland merchants and others en-
gagged in trade, were never buster in
their various callings than during the
past week. When one of them was
asked the other day, "to what do you
attribute the activity and the appar-
ent increase in sales and business
generally in your store?" he answer
ed without hesitating "that half-page
advertisement which has been in The
Republican during the past two weeks
and our ability to supply our custom
ers with what they want at attractive
prices, coupled with the fact that we
are all-year-'round advertisers in The
Republican and aim to satisfy the
purchasing public in every line; by
living up to our printee word and CIV
ing every one that comes in here a
square deal and dollars worth of
dependable merchandise for one hun
bred cents" That's the gist attend
ing the success Of every marchant or
man engaged in other business enter
prises-publicity and dependability.
Miss Mary Virginia Wilson, who
is engaged in teaching in Baltimore,
will arrive here Friday to spend the
holidays with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Wilson, at their home in
Mountain Lake Park.

"HEALTH SERVICE"
The Title of a Book Prepared for
Marylanders.

Ways in which the State Depart
ment of Health is carrying on a con-
tinuous and carefully organized cam
paign for the prevention of disease
and the promotion of health among
the people of the State, are briefly
summed up in a circular entitled
Health Service" prepared by the De-
partment in response to requests for
such information from schools and
clubs.
The Director, as the circular shows,
is the executive officer. His offices
and the headquarters of the bureaus
and divisions entrusted with the high
ly diversified but closely interrelated
activities of the department are at IS
West Saratoga street, Baltimore City.
The Director is represented in the
Statewide work by the deputy and
assistant State deputy health officers
and the full-time county health Off
GERS.
For purposes of health administra-
ton, the State is divided into sanitary
districts, each consisting of two or
more counties, and each district in
charge of a full time deputy State
health officer. Increased duties have
made it necessary to reduce the sec
ton covered and to establish full time
health departments Uncertain counties
so that there are now ten deputies,
three assistant deputies and four full
time county health officers in the field.
Public health nursing activities are an
integral part of the health work in
each section and there are now forty
five nurses engaged in public health
work in the counties.
At the central headquarters there
are eight fully organized bureaus and
two divisions, the duties of which are
indicated by the titles. Bureaus: vi
tai Statistics, Communicable Diseases,
Bacteriology, Chemistry, Sanitary En-
cheering, Child Hygiene, Food and
Drugs, Personnel and Accounts. Di-
visions: Legal Administration and
Public Health Education.
Reports are received daily by the
Bureau of Communicable Diseases
from health officers of communicable
diseases that occur in their districts.
Outbreaks of diseases are Immediately
Investigated and measures are taken
for their control. The Bureau of Bac-
teriology makes analyses and tests
and otherwise assists physicians in
the diagnosis and prevention of the
disease. The central laboratory is To-
Gated in Baltimore City, with branch
laboratories at Hurlock, Cumberland,
Hagerstown, Frederick and Washing
ton, D. c.

cHILDREN's READING

Many parents take great deal of pains to
correct their children for all their visible faults,
and yet these youngsters may be getting lot of
ideas that are wholly wrong from the books and
magazines they read. A great deal of teaching
is done by such silent methods Of approach to the
child mind. and lot of it is not helpful, and some
Of it is very degenerating.
great deal is going on in the minds of these
youngsters that the parents have conception of.
A child may be cherishing many dreams which
viii greatly influence his or her future for good or
for i'll. without the parents being conscious of it
at al. Parents cannot expect Their Children to
come up with fine ideas and purposes, unless they
look carefully to the sources from which they OBJ
tain their aims and opinions.
Many boys have strong liking for sensational
tales Of adventure, that. give the impression that
boys can do things that very few men would be
able to achieve. Such tales may be moral enough
in some ways, but they give the boys wrong idea
and make them restless and disconnected with their
simple home conditions. and give them a desire
to wander away from home.
Parents ought to know pretty well the char
acter of books and magazines before they permit
their children to have them. It may be claimed
that If the children forbidden to read certain
types of fiction. they win get possession of such
stories and enjoy them on the sly. But that can
usually be averted.
The way to do it is for the parents to take
pains to read some of the finer class of chiIdren's
stories aloud. that the children win get idea
of what constitutes good literature for young peO
ple.. Then the absurdities of trashy literature
should be pointed cut to the youngsters. that
they themselves viii laugh at these foolish tales
