rine insurance from the bill was OBJ

several large insurance companies. He
declared that fire insurance com
panies which have marine branches,
or vice versa, could apply for license
and qualify under the proposed law
in such manner as to give them un.
fair advantage over competitors.
Mr.. Myers explained that the dele
ton from the original bill Of all ref
erences to mutual fire and casualty
companies was assumed to have been
agreeable to all parties concerned. All
reference to bonding companies also
was omitted from the bill on the
ground that those companies to which
no reference was made would be gov

C0RRECTS IMP 3ESSION
GIVEN TRADE BALANCE
o. K. Davis Says Excess Of I'm
ports in January Cannot Be Called
"Unfavorable" Indication.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 1.-The mere
fact that the value of imports into
the United States the first part of
1926 exceeded the value of exports
does not constitute an "unfavorable''
trade balance against this country, o.
K. Davis. secretary of the National
Foreign Trade Council, said.
In a statement on the foreign trade
situation, Mr.. Davis said the terms
favorable" and "unfavorable" were
enormously used in connection with
our export trade. When exports ex-
ceed imports, and such excess is paid
for out of foreign loans fioated in the
United States, the situation cannot be
considered as favorable. he said.
On the contrary, an excess of i'm
ports amounting to Sl9, 800, 900 for the
first month OF 1926 would indicate
liquidation of European debts to the
United States by that amount, and
therefore should be considered as IA
vorable, Mr.. Davis contended.

YARD STICKS.

Three yard sticks are used by the
Maryland State Department of
Health to measure the health of the
people of the state. Two are operated
by the Bureau of Vital Statistics and
the third by the Bureau of Communi-
cable Diseases. The first is the regis
ter of births; the second, the register
of deaths, and the third is the record
of communicable diseases, as they oc-
cur, throughout the state.
These figures are collected, DR..
John S. Fulton, Director of the State
Department of Health said, in order
that the state may know just where it
stands in the matter of life and death.
1t is like the bookkeeping that bank
has to do, to check up on the income
and outgo of its resources. The
prompt and accurate registration ST
births, deaths and communicable dis
eases is consequently one of the most
important functions of the State De-
partment Of Health.
What is known as the infant NOR
tally rate is found by measuring the
total number of deaths of babies I'M
der year old against the total num-
Der of babies born in any one year.
The total death rate or the death
rate from any particular disease
heart disease, tuberculosis, pneumonia
for instance-is found by measuring
the total number of deaths or the
deaths from the disease in question
against the total population of the
county, city or state. In case of cpl
denies, or of other outbreaks of any
disease, such for instance, as typhoid,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, smallpox,
the case fatality rate, which is
covered by checking up the total num-
Der of deaths against the number of
cases that have been reported, gives
clue to those who are fighting the
disease as to the virulence of the
germ.
As practically all civilized countries
employ the same "yard STICKS" rates
within certain limits have come to
have a definite significance as to
standards of living, standards of
health and of disease control in the
communities in which they occur. By
students of public health activities,
the death rate among babies under a
year old is regarded-as one of the
most distinguished sanitarians ex-
pressed it-as the most Sensitive in
dex" we possess of social welfare and
of health administration. Some idea
of the way in which certain unfavor-
able conditions have been brought
under control in Maryland are indi
Gated by the following figures: In the
ten years, from 1915 to 1924 inclusive
the infant mortality rate in Maryland
went down from 120 per Thousand
births to S8 deaths during the frs
year of life to each thousand births
In other words, in 1915, one out o.
ever eight babies born, died before il
was a year cid. Now the number has
been cut down to one out of approx
mately every twelve.

lettering Along"

A little over a year ago we had a
number of uncomplimentary things to
say about the poor service and gen.
eral attitude of the local gas company
toward the public.
Since then, we are glad to say,
there has been change.
The new company the Cumberland
and Allegheny Gas Company, as soon
as it took over the old West Virginia
Central Gas Company and became
familiar with it's affairs and the ter
ritory served, put on different front
from what the general public had been
led to expect from gas companies,
The new company stated that it was
going to give its consumers the best
service possible. AS far as Elkins is
concerned the gas company has lived
up to its word.
Throughout the present winter sea-
son, even today when the mercury
dropped to Is degrees below zero,
there was plenty of gas. 1t burned
just as brightly and just as strongly
in the stoves and ranges as it did last
| summer.
The service of the new gas COM
pany has not stopped with the pro-
vision of an adequate gas supply. 1t
has gone farther: hot water heaters
have been repaired free of cost to the
consumers, advice has been given as
to the proper gas applience to be used
and other ways of conserving gas and
lowering the gas bills have been
pointed out.
The new gas company has gone to
great expense to put their lines into
the most efficient condition. Extra
gas has been purchased to take care
of the peak loads on cold days.-Elk-
ms Inter- Mountain of January 20.
Practically the same conditions de-
scribed in the above article from the
Elkins newspaper existed in Oakland
and the entire community served by
the gas company until it was taken
over by the present corporation, since
which a shortage of gas has not been
experienced, which fact is appreciated
by the consumers, especially those
depending upon the product for heat
ing and power purposes.
