QUAINT INLAY" COACHES
IN PAGEANTS PROCESSION
Were introduced In RailrOading
Under Peculiar Circumstances

In the long procession of antique
and modern railroad conveyances that
will move in the Pageant of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Centenary
Exhibition and Pageant opening on
Saturday, September oath, at Hale
thorpe, Baltimore, Nd, drawn by To-
comotives of their proper periods,
none are so quaint as the double
decked "Imlay" coaches of 1880.
The circumstances surrounding the
introduction in the early days of Sim
lay" coaches, named after their de-
signer, Richard Inlay, were unusual.
They were placed before the public in
1880, at time when the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, although but three
years old, was getting along famously
with horse-pulled cars and designers
were vying with one another to pro-
duce comfortable and good looking
coaches.
1t became the fashion, whenever a
new model was invented, to take it
down under the trees in Monument
Square in Baltimore, opposite the old
Barnum's Hotel, for inspection by the
townsfolk. When Richard Inlay
brought his coaches to the square they
at once struck popular favor. People
came to see and seat themselves upon
the cushioned seats Of the coaches,
and in imagination journeyed comfor-
tably to the Ohio on the railroad.
The "Imlay" coaches are curiosi-
ties, and gaily painted. The body of
the carriage holds ~ persons with ad-
ditional room at each end for six,
including the driver. On top is placed
a double sofa, running lengthwise,
which accommodates IL more. A wire
netting rises from two sides of the top
of the carriage to height which rem
ders the top seats perfectly secure.
The whole is surmounted by an iron
framework with an awning to protect
passengers from the sun or rain. The
first "Imlay" coach was named the
"Ohio."

MOrgantOwn Man Establishes

Curing Crippled Children.

The story OF the crippled child IS
the saddest in the history of medicine.
There are many who never had a
chance at measures which might re-
store them to improved conditions, if
not complete normality.
Every handicapped child has right
to help. The time to deal with these
cases is in childhood.
Fifty-eight per cent of cripples de-
velop the condition before the age of
five; fifteen per cent between the ages
of six to fifteen, and twenty-five per
cent are born crippled.
Many conditions can be cured in
childhood, which cannot be helped in
later life. Infantile paralysis causes
more than half the cripples. Every
child treated should be examined
every year or two during the grow
ing period.
tuberculosis of the bone causes
pain in the joints like growing pains"
and many times comes when children
are under five years of age.
Club foot should be cared for as
early as possible by putting on cast
and changing it every four weeks; the
foot must be held in correct position
until the child walks. Club foot can
be corrected at any time in life.
"Wry neck" or torticollis, results
when one muscle is shorter than it
should be. This should be corrected
before twelve years Of age.
A joint that is stiff can frequently
be cured and ricketts, can be cured by
diet, cod liver oil being of special ben
eft.
No one should feel ashamed of casts
and braces. They are the only means
of correcting deformities.
Teach children proper posture, to
stand with weight little forward on
the toes, abdomen in, chest high, chin
back.
The problem Of the crippled chill
dren will never be solved until hospi-
tai care and education are given by
the State-Condense from an article
in Better Homes and Gardens.

lore THAN SIXTY FLOATS
in BUSINESS PROCESSION
Largest Parade Ever to Tray
erse Streets of Oakland Ushers
in County Fair

With more than the promised num-
Der of floats taking part in the Bust
ness Mems parade at 1870 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon the Eleventh An
nual Garrett County Fair was ushered
in with what is said to have been the
biggest demonstration ever to come
down Second street. More than 60
floats of different business houses and
concerns of Oakland and vicinity pa
raded from Oak street to the Fair
grounds, extending for a distance of
more than a half-mile.
All Stores Close
Practically every business house
closed at IL o'clock and remained
closed during the afternoon while
many followed the parade to the Fair
grounds and viewed the exhibits and
enjoyed themselves.
The parade formed on Oak street
east of Third street, and traversed
Third street to Alder; Alder street to
Second; Second street to Center; Cen
ter street to Third; Third street to
Green; Green street to Liberty and
thence to the Fair grounds. Prizes
for the best decorated floats were
awarded, The Oakland Model Bakery
winning first prize, the H. Weber and
Sons company, florists, second, and
the Oakland Creamery, advertising
Imperial ice cream, third. Many other
unique and beautiful floats were in
the procession.
The buildings of the business and
professional men were decorated for
the big event, man having been en-
gagged two weeks ago to make them
attractive. This is the first year
that the business and professional
men of Oakland have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of one
day of the Fair, and plans for the
demonstration were laid several weeks
ago. A committee, consisting of
Henry Lauer, chairman, Alvy Gortner
nd w. R. Browning, was chosen by
The Business Mems club of Oakland,
to see all business men and ask them
to put in a float. More floats were
entered than were promised, accord
ing to the committee, showing that
practically everyone caught the spirit
of the occasion.
Republican Issues Miniature
The Republican issued miniature
edition consisting of stories about the
Fair, Dairying, Business Mems day,
Ali club work, and editorials about
the value of having agricultural fairs.
Two thousand copies were printed and
distributed during the parade at 1870.
