THE SOAP AND WATER DRILL

"Soap and water, frequently used,
are two of the best allies we have in
our fight against many of the catch
ing Diseases" was the answer OF DR..
R. H. Riley, Assistant Director OF the
State Department of Health, when
asked to suggest some ways that
would help to prevent the inter-
change of the germs of diseases
among children in the schools.
eff we could get every child to
form the habit of washing the hands
thoroughly, several times a day, and
certainly before meals, it would go
long way" he continued, toward
cutting down some of the diseases
that children catch from each other
at school. The teachers who are
having soap and water drills are
rendering a genuine service. The
teacher of one room school worked
out a plan recently, with the local
public health nurse that is worth be-
ing copied elsewhere.
"That particular school is without
the conveniences that make cleanl1-
ness easy. Water has to be brought
from a pump some distant away and
there is no Mushroom in the build
ing. The teacher aroused the intr-
est of the children by asking each
one to bring some left over bits OF
soap. Boiling water poured over
the lot turned it into liquid soap
which was poured into a bottle fitted
with a shaker top. A pitcher, a
bucket, some Japanese paper nap
kins and a package of wooden tooth
picks completed the equipment.
''The hand scrub drill takes place.
just before the children eat their
lunch. Appointment on the soap
and water serving squad is reward
of merit and cleanliness. The emp
ty bucket to hold waste water is put
in place and the children line up.
incidentally, it is worth noting that
the plan of pouring water over the
hands is preferable to the use of
basins because of the difficulty of
keeping group basins sterile.)
Number 1 on the serving squad
shakes the liquid soap over the
hands. Number 2 carries the pitch
er that was filled earlier in the day
and that has been standing on the
back of the stove because warm wat
err will cleanse the hands more eff
fectively than cold, and pours the
water for washing and rinsing, while
the waste water falls into the bucket
on the floor Number 8 hands out g
paper napkin for drying the hands
and if the finger nails of the class
have been questionably dark, &
wooden toothpick helps to improve
conditions.
1.-THE whole exercise takes only {
few minutes, but it is invaluable as
habit forming process"

AGR1CuLTuRE A BUSINESS

The state oranges and farmers
unions in Western states are adopt
ing the slogan, make Agriculture a
Business.
In some Western states farm or
carnations are represented in the
legislature by men who speak for the
products from the soil, entirely from
a business standpoint, such as better
marketing of crops and cooperative
and pooling arrangements based
upon business practices that pay
actual dividends.
One of the great big questions be-
fore the American people today u.s.
What should the national govern
ment do to help agriculture as an
industry?
Radical measures like state own
ership and operation of great hydro
electric power plants and soclalistlc
enterprises based on enormous pond
issues have been rejected by the
people of the Western States, VINO
favor policies along practical lines
in the interest of the producers ana
taxpayers.

1t is a remarkable fact that So
called government of the people, by
the people and for the people is fall
ing in democratic purpose and is
deaf to popular election decisions.
The National government, after
the World War, held elections that
emphatically decided in favor OF re-
turning as early as possible to a
peace basis of expenditures and re-
duction of taxes.
Great majorities backed the cam
paign pledges of leaders to pay on
the national debt, reduce approprla-
lions in Congress and abolish useless
officials.
Those politics were inaugrated Dy
the national administrative officials
in Congress and by the treasury de-
partment, and cabinet and budget OIL
ficials cooperated on economy lines
for retrenchment, and treasury sur
plus continued to increase.
Not so with many of our state gov
ernments, as they keep on multiply
ing officials and increasing taxes ano
overhead expenses in spite OF grea'
treasury deficits and overdrawn cash
accounts.

FISHING RIGHTS REVOKED BY
DECISION OF COIJRT

A recent decision handed down by
Judge Wickes of the Cecil Circuit
Court, revokes fishing rights claimed
by Edward c. Wilson, of North East.
Mr.. Wilson at one time owned
what is known as the McNamee farm
on the North East river, near Turk
ey' Point. He sold the farm some
years ago, but reserved in the deed
the right to conduct fishing opera
lions off the shore. The farm pas
sed through the hands of several
successive owners, all of whom recog-
nlzed the rights which were exercis-
ed by Wilson. In the fall of 1925,
the farm was purchased by Mr.. w.
Frank Mathues, of Philadelphia,
United States Marshall for the EasI
ern District of Pennsylvania, VIII
has erected handsome bungalow O
the property. Mr.. Mathues, upo
advice of counsel, refused to hav
the reservation put in his deed, MOI
withstanding that it had been
prior deeds.
Mr.. Wilson proceeded to lease thS
rights to one John F. Berridge, of
Tilghman's Island, who fished the
shore last spring. Mathues, through
his attorney, Joshua Clayton, then
filed bill in equity asking for an in
junction restraining the fishing oper-
atlons. William j. Bratton, ESQ.,.
Counsel for Mr.. Wilson, filed an an
swer to the bill, the answer demur-
red to, and the demurrer sustained.
The basis of the Courts decision is
the case of Smoot Sand & Gravel
Co., VS.. Columbia Granite & Dredg-
ing Corp, decided by the Court OF
Appeals in July, 1924. This case
decided that Act of the Legislature
authorizing riparian owner to re-
of stream gives that right to owner
of stream gives that right to the
only during his ownership, and the
right of one under contract with the
owner ceases with the transfer OF
that ownership.
The Circuit Court held that fish
ing rights are also, in effect, legis-
lative grant, and, therefore ceased
with the transfer of ownership.
The effect of all this is that ripa-
rial owner cannot reserve the right
to fish, or to remove sand and gravel
after selling his property

Races in Malta Speak
Same Tongue as Christ

There is still In this world race OF
people who speak the same tongue
that Jesus and His apostles used In
their ordinary everyday talks to the
people, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
This spoken language was sara
maic." We still may find languages
and dialects which have descended
from Aramaic.
To find today in the pure Aramaic
practically identical to the colloquial
language that Jesus used we must go
to the island of Malta.
Even there the traveller must not ex-
pect to hear it in Valletta. The people
of the seaport have long had inter-
course with the Italians and the Eng
fish and their language has changed
accordingly.
Travel inland to those compact
cities of stone-to Zeitun, to Musta
with its enormous dome, the third
largest in the world-there one hears
not the Anglicized, not the Italianized
speech, but pure Aramaic. There also
one sees q race Of people Of not only
similar speech, but of similar appear
ance and of similar character to the
"chosep of our Lord"-''devout men
and women who serve God daily" One
can well imagine while living among
these people what Andrew, Peter, John
and Matthew must have been like.
Many races have held sO-called do
minion over these islands, but none
has succeeded In implanting its Ian
guage.
