Motors Company have more than
doubled in the past two years. yor

from the United States for the en-
tire automobile industry last year
was II per cent.
Based on the record-breaking ex

Nash officials say there is every
reason to believe that 1928 will be
another banner year in overseas
shipments.

THE MASTER.

An angry mob had dragged Him to
the edge of precipice from which
they were. ging to hurl Him headlong.
They would put an end to the AFRO
giant egotism of this carpenter who
presumed to know more about God
than the rabbis and prophets of Israel.
AS they pause before the last fatal
step, Jesus turns and calmly surveys
this crowd of former neighbors. With
those eyes of His which the Bible de-
scribes as being like "fame of fire."
Jesus glances from man to man. Be-
fore the piercing, whitening, scorch-
ing flame of the Saviour's eyes, the
eyes of the mob waver and fall, it's
bravado wits, the murmur of snarls
and curses is hushed. "And Jesus,
passing through the midst of them,
went His way" duke 4:3O). The
hostile crowd had recognized the
MASTER.
We can understand why no man
dared to oppose Him when He over
turned the tables of the money-chang-
ers and drove out of the temple the
greedy merchants who had turned His
Fathers House into den of robbers.
Jesus was the Master of men. He
uttered His simple, compelling word
of invitation, Follow Mel" and fish
ermen left their nets to go with Him
and become fishers of men.
"Follow Mel" He said to Levi, and
Levi left the most lucrative business
in Capernaum, left his luxurious home
to follow the homeless, penniless,
wandering Teacher of Galilee.
One glance, one word, and the par
alytic "took up his bed" that is, he
rolled up his mat, and walked.
Jesus looked into the eyes of the
scarlet women and they went away
weeping, henceforth to live lives whit
err than snow.

:. country during March-and
in which Maryland will take part-to
bring about more general under
standing of the Importance of the care
and treatment of tuberculosis in the
early stages of the disease before it
has wrought irreparable damage and
while the possibilities of control are
greatest.
"Great gains have been made in
the fight against tuberculosis but
much more could be accomplished if
we could make an earlier start" was
the way DR.. R. H. Riley, Chief of the
Bureau of Communicable Diseases of
the State Department of Health put
it. Tuberculosis hits hardest" he
continued, Eat boys and girls just
reaching maturity and at young men
and women just entering upon their
careers in life-the age groups that
offer the greatest promise to the in
dividual and to the nation.
LC ISCOIQO VI Gllc oIdIc DGDdIl-
ment of Health show that one out of
every four deaths from the disease in
Maryland in recent years has occurred
among young people from fifteen to
twenty-five years old. Considerably
over one-half has occurred in the age
group from fifteen to forty and over
two-thirds in the age group from fif-
teen to fifty years old. Eearly dag
nosis and prompt treatment would
have checked the disease and would
have prolonged many of these lives.
'But the great difficulty in regard
to the early detection of the disease
lies in the fact that some of the early
symptoms of tuberculosis may easily
be taken for 'over-fatigue,' persistent
Indigestion only heavy cold and
the disease is allowed to run on I'M
checked, making inroads that are
much harder to control. tuberculosis
can never be checked by quacks or by
quack medicines. The best medical
knowledge and skill is required and
fortunately is readily available in
Maryland through the services of pri-
vate physicians practicing throughout
the State or through the public clinics
"The clinics that were started near
ly five years ago in cooperation with
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton provide Statewide service of that
sort. One or more clinics is held in
each county every month. Last year
270 clinics were held at which 1892
persons were examined, of whom 1853
were found to have the disease, but I
am glad to say that in over half-693
it was in the early stage.
"In connection with this special eff
fort to arouse widespread realization
of the possibilities of the earlier con-
quest of the disease through the early
recognition of symptoms followed by
prompt treatment, the National Tu-
berculosis Association has published a
poster giving this advice:
"You may have tuberculosis. Watch
for these signals: Too easily tired;
loss of weight; Indigestion; cough
that hangs on.
To this want to add that the next
step should be to go to your doctor
and follow his advice"
