CHANGE IN FLAG
RULES SEEN

The names of so Washington mer.
chants who violated the flag regu-
.lations promulgated by the District
Commissioners in connection with
the uniform flag display pan, are
in the hands of the Commissioners
today.
The names were reported by po-
licemen who were instructed to en-
force the regulation forbidding the
flags to be displayed except from
s a. m. to sunset yesterday.
Many merchants refused TO COM
ply with the regulation because they
were going away over the weekend
and had to put the flags out Satur-
day or not at all.
Others refused to ask employees
to come to work yesterday morning
just to hang out the flags As q
result in some cases the flags were
not out at all.
1t is unlikely that the Commits.
sioncrs will take any action on the
names before them. 1t Is more likely
in view Of the protests that they win
change the regulation.

ARMS PARLEY.
DEADL0GKED
b. International Newa serrice

BY International News Service
GENEVA. July 5. A state of
complete deadlock at the tri-partite
naval arms limitation conference
here was reached today when the
naval experts committee adjourned
indefinitely its Iahors ito permit the
various delegations to seek means
of adjusting the cruiser needs OF the
deterrent powers.
The deadlock resulted directly
from inability of the United States
for rs cruisers totaling about $780,.
000 tons.
1t was understood here today that
the United States delegation had
received Instructions from Wash.
ington that unless an agreement
on cruiser strength could be
reached. practically on the basis of
a proposal put forward by an
American delegate allowing 400,0 900
tons of cruiser strength each for
Great Britain and the United
States. that it would be better to
allow the cruiser question to rest
In allegiance until 1881.
The naval limitations treaties
signed at the Washington confer.
ence, which have to do with CAPT.
tai ships, expire in 1881 unless re-
newed.
The American proposition repre-
sented a compromise between the
United States's first proposal OF
250,000 TO 100000 cruiser tonnage
each for Great Britain and the
United States, and the British de-
mand for nearly 100000 tons.
This American compromise propo.
sition was presented at the experts
committee meeting, and almost Inn
mediately the work of the commit
tee was adjourned without a set
date for another meeting.
The experts committee issued a
con1muniqne saying the adjourn
ment was taken with "a view to
permitting the various delegations
to seek means of adjusting the
cruiser needs of the different
powers
The communique also declared an
agreement had been reached re-
speeding submarines, but later it
was authoritatively learned that
the agreement was only to limit
submarine torpedo tubes to 81
inches size, and that no agreement
had been reached on the tonnage
or number of submarines to be al
lowed the various powers.

we may make Maryland safer place
for the babies who are born in it. 1t
is task in which all forces have to
help-health officers, doctors, public
health nurses-all who are interested
in the welfare of the community, and
particularly the fathers and mothers.
Somebody summed up the situa-
ton very APPLY few years ago in the
remark that the business of being a
baby is one of the most hazardous
occupations. Babies as we'll as grown
ups, are protected by the safeguards
that are thrown around the people
OF the State through the general work
OF the State Department of Health
But there are special activities carried
on through the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene which center about the mother
and baby and there has been notice
able saving of lives as result of
these measures.
"Few people realize that nearly half
of the babies who die slip away be-
fore they are a month old. This is
true not only in Maryland but in every
part of the country, and wherever
public health work is done every eff
fort is being made to help the moth
ers and to help tide the babies over
this critical period. These babies who
slip out of life so soon are not the un-
fit, but are the children who have not
had good start. Children as frail as
this may survive their first year only
to slip away soon afterwards. This is
shown by the fact that when the num-
Der of baby deaths is reduced there
are fewer deaths among the older
children.
at is obvious, that the best way to
give baby good START in life is
through proper preparation and good
care of the mother-to-be. And the
next step is helpful advice in baby
hygiene and baby care after the baby
arrives. Both of these measures are
available for the mothers an dbabies
in Maryland"

rent number contains the following
in memory of Elizabeth Workman,
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Work
man, who died on Wednesday, Janu-
airy 26, on the eve of her twenty-sec-
ond birthday after several months of
illness:
Betty would have been member
of the class of '26 had she been able
to have graduated here. She was the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Workman,
who removed from here during her
sophomore year and have, since then,
made their home in Warrington.
Betty also attended Marshall College.
Funeral services were held at the
First M. E. church Saturday after
noon. The large number of town peo-
pie and students present testified to
her wide circle of friends.
Hers was a beautiful life and a
still more beautiful death. Both her
life and death gave testimony of her
beautiful character. The passing of
such a life leaves many Borrowing
hearts, but it also leaves gorld bet
ter for the fact that Betty has lived
and died in it.

. TEACHING NO LONGER A
STEPPING STONE" TO
= A CAREER.

Within recent years the attitude of
teachers, as we'll as of the public gen
orally, has changed considerably to-
wards the vocation of teaching In
1906, one hundred New York teachers
were questioned, according to Super
intendent William McAndrew, as to
whether they had entered teaching
with the hope and intent of making it
career" Two per cent of them re-
ported in the affirmative. Two years
ago in a similar canvas in the same
city, SO per cent of those reporting
chose teaching in preference to other
callings because they considered it the
most satisfying.
This change in attitude has had a
positive influence on the increase in
the number of teachers who are meet
ing higher professional requirements.
That rural school teachers are among
those seeking to improve their pro-
fessional qualifications is shown in
the data of two recent surveys. "The
Professional Preparation and Super
vision of White Elementary and Sec
ondary Public School Teachers in
South Carolina Bulletin No. 1S4, of
June /, 1926, University of South
Carolina, Columbia, S. c. includes
data showing that 40 per cent of the
3.S07 rural elementary school teach
ers reported in that study had two
years or more of college education.
The survey Of Utah (U. S. Bureau of
Education Bulletin, 1926, No. 18)
shows that y per cent of the rural
elementary teachers had two years
or more of professional training
which is considered the standard
amount of training necessary for ele-
mentary school teachers. The study
further shows that 45 per cent of the
teachers in one-teacher rural schools.
6S per cent in two-teachers schools, 55
per cent in three-teacher schools, 70
per cent in schools of four or more
teachers without high schools attach
ed, and 81 per cent in elementary
schools with high schools. had met
these standards.

CHERRY TREE STORY is
NOT A MYTH.

The story of George Washington
and the cherry tree, which some of
our educators now declare to be mere
ly tradition, is not a myth, but an ac-
tual happening, according to H. O..
Bishop, who writes about this incident
of Washington's boyhood in the cur
rent issue of the National Republic.
The man who put the cherry tree
story into print was 'Parson" Weems,
a distinguished Episcopal clergyman
of Revolutionary days, who spent
much time in the neighborhood in
which Washington lived as boy Mr.
Bishop continues:
"'Parson' Weems' book has been
ridiculed because the author was not
a professional historian, and his work,
written more than a century and a
quarter ago, is in the somewhat stilt-
ed style of that period. He was a
minister of the gospel whose book APP
peared while hundreds of intimates of
Washington, and even boyhood neigh
bors, We're still living, and it was more
dangerous than it is today to tell a
lie about Washington He was also
guilty of selling his own and other
books through the countryside of Vir-
ginia and other states, but in SO do
ing he was performing a real service
in a day when books were scarce. If
anyone doubts his ability, let him read
what 'Parson' Weems had to say
about the American form of govern
ment, with force and eloquence not
often surpassed, as printed in this is
sue of the National Republic.
81 have made some research on the
subject of 'Parson' Weems, his biog-
raphy of Washington and the cherry
tree story, and as result declare the
belief that what is declared myth
by those who make business of try
ing to uproot patriotic traditions, is
no myth at all, but true story-true
in itself and true in the impression
it gives as to the devotion of George
Washington to the high virtue of
truth-telling, especially when his hon
or was involved. If the attackers of
this story have any proof of their as
seltions, let them come forward with
then1-but l venture the assertion
that they have none. Here is the re-
suit od an investigation which I have
recorfllv r'"de in the Library of Con
gross and various other sources"

REDS AND THE MINERS.

No men in America better realize
The menace, Of communist propaganda
An the United States than the leaders
SIof the responsible labor movement of
the country. An example of what
communism does to labor was fur
nished by the recent strikes of the
fur and garment workers in New
York which practically bankrupted
the unions and were brought to I'M
successful conclusions from the stand
point of the best interests of labor.
The latest drive of the reds was in
the annual convention of the United
Mine Workers held at indianapolis re-
Gently. The red sympathizers had a
program calling for the recognition of
Red Russia and the formation Of a
labor party in the United States.
Their program was decisively defeat
ed by the delegates, many of whom
asserted that the enemies of the union
had waged their opposition campaign
with money obtained from Russia.
One leader declared that if the soviet
labor agitators VINO have been stirring
up strife in the American unions do
not like the labor movement in this
country they might go to soviet Rus
STA to pursue their program. The
mine workers, also by an overwhelm-
ing vote prepared for the expulsion of
all communists from their ranks. 1t
was said that the activity of the
"reds" was both political and social
and that they have actively been seek
ing to destroy unionism and replace it
with communism
1t has been evident for some time
that the conservative labor leaders of
America are fully aware of commun-
list labor activities in the United
States, and for this every real Amer
lean will feel thankful.
