SATURDAY. DECEMBER IT, 1927

The Richmond Bureau of Health
furnished US with the average age
of decedents, white and colored,
from 1872 20 1926. This covers 81
years. The average age of colored
people in 1872 at death was %
years. In 1895, a five year period,
il was SAT. This is to say that
people now live on an average Ill
years longer than they formerly did.
Lengthening the life line is crafty
ing service and it is attributed to
the efficiency Of our Health Depart
ment.

nve minutes later the French room
Of large millinery concern in Cleve
land had the picture to copy.
At about the same time a Boston
concern received sketches Of four hat
styles which were sent from New York
In the space Of seven minutes. The
hats were purchased in New York as
soon as they were shown by the mil
hnery buyer for the store and sketches
were made and transmitted by wire to
Boston, so that the advertising depart
ment might prepare the necessary pub
licity. The hats were shipped at the
same time and arrived in Boston the
following morning. but the advertising
had already appeared in the morning
newspapers and the hats were placed
on sale Immediately.

Grin, Death Turks in
Holy Waters of India

The hottest waters in India are man
tied with green and brilliant scum.
Those who would battle must break 1t,
as hardy swimmers In our colder
countries break the ice, before they
can reach the spiritually cleansing
liquid. Coming out of the water,
bathers leave behind them Jagged
riffs Of blackness in the green; riffs
that gradually close, If no more pill
grtms come down to battle, till the
green skin Of the lake Is altogether
whole again.
There were but few bathers when
we were at Pushkar.
On days of little concourse the
bathers do not venture far out into the
lake. Death turks invisible under the
scum, swims noiselessly inshore, snaps,
drags down. We saw him basking on
a little shrine-crowned island a hun
dred yards from land, monstrous and
scaly, grinning even in his sleep-a
crocodile. Pushkar is so holy that no
life may be taken within its waters Or
on its banks, not even the maneaters.
A dozen pilgrims disappear each year
between those enormous jaws. 1t is
considered lucky to be eaten by a
crocodile at Pushkar.-From "Jesting
PLATE" by Aldous Huxley.

Egyptian Spite

The childish trait Of taking It out
on all inanimate object when one has
fit of temper seems to have been d
serious business in ancient Egypt.
An archaeological expedition Of the
Berlin museum has just returned from
Egypt with 290 pieces of pottery, frag-
ments of some 80 clay vessels, all
written over with the names of for.
eign princes and peoples with whom
the Egyptians of about 1000 B. c.
were at war, together with a number
Of Egyptian names as well, pre-.
sumably Of rebellious communities
These names, it is believed, were In
scribed on the vessels, which were
then shattered with suitable cere.
monials, in the belief that the foes
would thereby be injured.

Something to Remember

One thing they have learned in cold
Alaska is to make no attempt to clean
q silk or wooden garment in gasoline
in the winter time.
Writing in Scribner's Magazine,
Mary Lee Davis, the wife of an engi-
neer, says that two women of her &C.
quaintance were burned to death in so
doing.
Just the friction, "she says, "of lift
ing the material from the gasoline
bath produces such sparks In the
electrified air that an explosion almost
invariably occurs"
Although there isn't quite so much
electricity in the air in this section
Of the country, there are few indoor
sports more dangerous than washing
articles in gasoline.
If you must wash things in gasoline
do it outdoors.

MARYLAND MILK
Seventy-seven Per Cent of Sam
pies Tested Graded Clean

"Cool your milk to temperature Of
SO degrees Fahrenheit, and keep it
cold," is the advice of DR.. John S. Full
ton, Director of the State Department
of Health, to all who handle milk in
any way-dairymen, dealers and the
housekeepers. Referring to the recent
survey of the milk supply of Sc Mary
land cities by the State Bureau of
Food and Drugs, in cooperation with
the American Child Health Associa-
ton, DR.. Fulton summarized the find
ings as follows:
There is potentially a good supply
available throughout the State;
The supply furnished to % of the
cities and towns comes from tubercu-
lin tested herds;
.Seventy-seven per cent of the sam
piles tested graded reasonably clean;
The average fat content of all of
the samples tested was Al. In several
instances milk containing less than
3.5 per cent of butter fat-the mini
mum legal requirement-was sold.
There was considerable careless
ness in regard to cooling the milk.
This was indicated from the fact that
when the atmospheric temperature
ranged from 26 to 95 degrees, the
temperature of the samples tested
ranged from SO to 95 degrees.
The bacterial findings were salts
factory, over one-half the samples
tested showed low count.
In the Sc cities and towns surveyed,
it was estimated that 74,729 gallons
of milk were used daily. Of this
amount, 66,411 gallons-88 per cent
are pasteurized. Of the milk used in
Baltimore City, SO per cent is pas
teurized. In the other cities and
towns covered in the survey about
half of the supply-51 per CENTS
pasteurized.
It was also estimated that 47,000
gallons of raw milk are used by peo-
pie living on farms or in small towns
or settlements not covered by the
survey. In many of the places out
side of Baltimore City, raw milk is
the only kind available.
because milk constitutes such a
necessary part of our Diet" DR.. Full
ton said, at is of the utmost impor-
tance that every precaution be taken
in producing and handling it. Pro-
duced from healthy herds, carefully
handled, clean, promptly cooled, care
fully covered, are essentials. Bach

This Editor Didn't Lie

An editor in Texas, says the Still
water (Minn.) Gazette, has been ac-
cused on several occasions of not tell
ing the truth in his newspaper.
In newspaper parqance his ire was
reused and he announced:
"a lot of people in this town fall
out with the editor and brand him a
liar when the ordinary mistakes of
life show up in the paper. You have
a little charity and fellow-feeling for
every man in town but the editor. You
claim you want the facts and id
if we don't give them to you. Read
the next issue of this sheet and you
will see facts with the bark off.
81 admit that have been liar, an
editorial liar, ever since l have been
editing this sheet, but l have never
printed a lie in these columns except
to keep somebody's feelings from be-
ing hurt. l am not afraid of any of
you and I'll be dad blamed if l don't
print the truth from now on or until
you get out of the habit of calling me
liar every time l make some una
voidable typographical errors. Now
watch my smoke"
And here are some paragraphs of
his "smoke" in the next issue:
"John BENIN, the LATEST man in
town, made a trip to Belleview yes

"Rev. Sly preached last Sunday at
the local church. His sermon was
