INTERSTATE STREAM CONsER-
WALTON AGREEMENT

Maryland is one of nine states that
rave recently entered into an agree
ment, through their respective de-
,artments of health, which makes
provision for joint sanitary control
,vIer the waterways in these states.
he other states participating in it
IRE Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Vir-
,inia, Kentucky. New York, Indiana,
illinois and Tennessee. The under
ying purpose of the = plan is the
protection and conservation OF ade-
luate and safe water supplies for
Thinking and commercial uses.
Through the agreement, cooperative
,ction is obtained for the abatement
# the pollutin may be
#, the pollution of waterways in any
me of these states when such pol
ution may be harmful to adjacent
,r down stream states.
To insure coordinated policies and
methods. of control in the sanitary
engineering problems involved, an
advisory board composed of the
hief engineers of the states entering
nto the agreement has been ap-
ointed by the departments of health
concerned in it. Mr.. Abel Wolman;
thief of the State Bureau of SAM
airy Engineering has been appointed
he representative of the Maryland
tate Department of Health on the
Board of Engineers.
In announcing the appointment,
)r. John S. Fulton, Director OF the
State Department of Health, said:
"A glance nat the map of the United
states showing the congestion OF
population along waterways is all

which an increasing population i'm
POSES upon a state is the ever in
,reasing difficulty of providing ade-
luately for the disposal OF sewage
md of other sources of pollution.
Every community and each growing
industry add to the pollution of our
streams. 1t is obvious that some
control must be. possible for popu-
ations to. continue to have the
Necessary water resources for their
domestic and commercial needs.
For this reason. this interstate
stream conservation agreement has.

the first of it's kind in the United
states, is of Importance. 1t is the
irst effort in this country to .estab-
sh some uniform program for the
ontrol of Interstate bodies of water
as to provide adequate water
.esources for the future, for NUM-

rial uses, for recreational purposes,
or power requirements and for
navigation.
Already much has been accom-
olished in the reduction and elini-
nation of pollution of the Ohio
River The accomplishment is par
.ticularly notable because it was
arried out through cooperative
action with municipalities and in
iustiles and without the necessity
of invoking police power"

CONSERVATIVES COURSE ADVO'
GATED FOR FARMERS

While the outlook for agriculture
in Maryland during the coming year
appears reasonably promising, con-
ditions as viewed by specialists of the
University OF Maryland are not such
as to encourage an indiscrlmlnate
increase of production in any lines.
The agricultural outlook report
for Maryland, as prepared by special
lists of the University OF Maryland
Experiment Station and Extension
Service, is based in part upon the
recently issued outlook report OF the
United States Department OF Agrl-
culture. With reference to the ag7
ricultural situation generally the re-
port says:
I'm 1927 there was better bal
ance between the different lines OF
agricultural production than in any
other recent year. Agricultural in
come in 1928 for the country as
whole is likely to show some i'm
provement over that of 1927, pro-
vided total agricultural production
is maintained at its present volume
and farmers continue to make fur
Their adjustments toward a more bal
anced production. Expansion es-
specially in cash crops, is to be guard
ed against.
During 1927 the average prices
Of farm products for the United
States as whole advanced, as
shown, by the increase of 10 points
in the index Of farm. prices from
127 in December, 1926 to 137 for
December, 1927. This increase was
due largely to higher prices for cot
ton, cattle, feed grains, apples and
tobacco which more than offset the
marked decline in hog prices and
lower prices received for wheat hay
potatoes and eggs. The net advance
in farm prices is the result not OF
any better demand situation, but
rather of reduced production of cot
ton, cattle, and fruits and vegetables.
1.-The gross agricultural income in
the United States for the crop yeal
1926-27 was about $12, 100, 900, 900;
for 1925-26 it was $12,700.00o, 900;
and for 1922, $4,000, 100000:
While the gross income from agri-
culture in 1861 was practically
the same as in 1925-26, the pur-
chasing power of the farmers dol
lar was higher. The relative pur-
chasing power of farm products in
terms of non-agricultural commodi-
ties stood at 81 per cent OF the pre-
war level in November, 1927, as
compared with 80 per cent for Nov
ember, 1926.
THE gross value of farm crops
for Maryland in 1927 was S7O,346.-
OO0 as compared with S69,772,0O0
for 1926.
''The livestock industry in the
State has been in a relatively favor
able position, although there was
considerable decline in hog prices in
1927. Beef cattle prices in 1928
promise to average higher than in
1927, the outlook for wool appears
favorable, the dairy industry is in a
relatively stable position while poul-
try producers have reasonably good
prospects of a higher level of prices
for eggs and dressed and live poul-
try, at least during the first half OF
1925"

DIVIDES FREAKTSH
 AND INTELLIGENT ART

MINNEAPOLIS, July 10.- A sharp distinction between that in art which is freakish and that which is intelligent and original was drawn today by Ella M. Whit ter, head of the art department, Central high school, Minneapolis, in a lecture before the National Conference on Art Education.
 "The many isms in modern art, it's great variety os expression, it's use of unusual mediums she said, have given rise to a widespread idea that modern art is freakish, ugly and crude, produced by in competents, subnormals and the commercially dishonest. Modern exhibitions and press art criticism cause long and sometimes heated discussions. adding to the lay mans confusion. This problem Of modern art must be met by every live art instructor.
 Always there has been modern art. Possibly at no other per iod have the methods of expression been so varied Competent art critics judge large proportion of the modern so-callcd art as poor. Every new movement has it's weak members. Our ann must be to get the viewpoint of the intelli- gent modernist and to understand his method of approach
 Miss Witter said that the teach ing of decorative design was in advance of the understanding Of pictorial design.
 "The naturalistic rose is gone, she said. Joyful creative work within design limitati ms has long been encouraged. Pi>sure making must be developed with this larger vision, primarily it must be the design, the creative building of the whole with lines, planes and forms rhythmicaily related in deep space. Such was the realization of the old masters"

made extensive inquiries regarding the
supposed appearance of the missing en-

or heard from since May, 1925.
This expedition to rescue Fawcett,
which I am leading in the interest OF
The Star and the North American
Newspaper Alliance, has Travelled the
road where. according to these r'lnlorS'
he was almost devoured by mosquitoes.
Oddly enough, there is not mosquito
in this zone. The nights are chill, and
there has been a temperature OF 6l since
we have been here.
II snv stranger was seen by the way

certainly was not Fawcett. and every
one we have spoken with says the ru-

Journey Onward Planned.
During our brief pause at this mis-

before continuing on to the San Manoel
River, $50 miles northeast. AS our
route there traverSeS the open plains We
have chartered motor trucks to carry
our luggage. which, with the food sup

On such expeditions there always are
large elements of risk, and We could not

VIOLET RAY Is NOT ULTRA

One OF the rays Of light given out
blythe sun is = cold ray which has
been found to b very important to
the maintenance Of Ill animal life.
Il is supposed that tho larger. ami.
mails Of the Mesoxoic age, such Is the
brontosaurus and dinosaurs were de-
stroyed because this ray was pre-
vented from. reaching tie earth By
heavy clouds Of vapor and volcanic
ashes. The latest researches Of SCI
ence suggest that these animals
probably died from starvation BE-
cause q disease similar TO ricketts, 50
weakened them that they were un-
able to walk in search Of food.
This ray has been termed the &C.
tinic ray. as we'll as, the ultraviolet
ray, but it Is not the product Of the
so-called violet !. ray machines that
may be purchased for . few dollars.
The apparatus for providing the real
ultra violet light costs several hun
|dred dollars.
This type Of light applied 10 the
skin increases the body's ability to
absorb calcium, and to metabolize
fats, hence its value. in bone dis
eases and wasting disorders such as
anemia and tuberculosis.
Used in a.very concentrated form,
this ray will destroy tissues, and for
this reason it is frequently used to
remove skin blemishes and infec-
tions Of the throat. =
Although. this ray is present in
sunlight, CAUTIOUSLY enough it will not
penetrate through glass. It may
produce blindness il allowed. to shine
too intensely directly into the eyes,
and for this reason both doctor and
patient use special glasses for treat
ing with this ray. It has been man
ufactured artificially in some types
Of carbon arc lamps and in merchry
quartz lenses.
The actinic ray does not pene-
trate deeply into the body, its action
being. principally on the blood pass
ing through the surface capillaries
Of the. skin. Through the use Of
machines generating this type Of
ray, doctors are able to administer
the exact quantities that they de-
sire the patient to have. By the
use of sun bathing this ray will act
beneficially upon the body, but one
must be careful not to become over.
heated or burnt. There is q. danger
of sunburn from this. ray, even
though the skin does not become
warm, and one should carefully reg
ulate the time Of exposure.
The ultra violet light has been
found an aid in diagnosing measles,
since after it's use the rash can be
discovered from two to three days
before the usual time.
Vitamin D, which is now recog-
nized as being of the utmost import
ance for producing growth in ami
mails, is found only in foods that
have been grown in or exposed to
SUNLIGHT. This vitamin has been pro-
duced in larger quantities than
normal in the following foods by ex-
