EASTERN SHORE IDEAL LOCA
TION FOR SUMMER WHITE
HOHIcE

President and Mrs. Herbert c..
Hoover have been formally pre-
sented with an especially prepared
individual copy of survey prepared
by the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association, offering locations for a
Summer White House on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula.
The presentation was made to the
President by Congressman and
United State Senators directly repre-
senting DelMar-Va. Congressman
T. Alan Goldsborough, of Maryland,
acted as spokesman. In the group
with him were United States Sena-
tors Phillips Lee Goldsborough and
Willard F. Tydings, of Maryland;
Congressman Robt. G. Houston and
United States Senators Daniel o.
Hastings and John G. Townsend,
Jr., of Delaware.
The survey, in the form of an en-
graved portfolio, contained a de-
scription of ten outstanding estates
on the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, which
early this year were offered as loca-
tions for prospective Summer
White House, which had been advo-
Gated by former President Coolidge.
The individual copy for President
and Mrs. Hoover was bound in leath-
er and stamped in gold on the cover
were the words, President and Mrs.
Herbert G. Hoover" with a brief
title of the survey and a small in
sigma of the Del-Mar-Va Associ-
alton. -
In addition to photographs and
descriptive matter of the several es-
tates a general description of the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula illustrated
with views in art photography told
Del-Mar-Va's story.
A brief introduction to the survey
explained that the Association be.
lieves that the Del-Mar-Va Penins-
ula is unquestionably the logical To-
cation for a permanent Summer
White House because of its acces-
sibility to Washington by every
means of transportation and because
of the numerous attractions in the
way of recreation and pleasure
while at the same time assuring
privacy.

THE MENACE OF THE CARRIER

Speaking recently of the gradual
decrease in both the number of cases
and in the deaths from typhoid fever
throughout the State, DIR. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said that much OF
this reduction paralleled the grad
ual protection of public water sup
plies from pollution but there is still
much to he done in this field, he
said. 'There is another source OF
Infection" he continued, that is
often overlooked-the typhoid car
| rier-the person who spreads the
germs of typhoid through uncleanly
habits. Some of the most serious
outbreaks that have occurred in our
own and in other states have been
traced to carriers.
Whenever a case of typhoid fever
is reported to the Department, effort
is made by the local health officer or
the Deputy State Health Officer to
discover the sources of infection.
Usually the major problem is to To-
cate the carrier. A recent checking
UP of the histories kept by tine Blu.
reau of Communicable Diseases
shows that we have the record O:
"a carriers to whom SAG cases O:
typhoid fever that occurred in the
counties of Maryland were traced.
"Of the total number of carriers.
o5 were white, % colored, and thu
color of six was not recorded; 27
were male and 81 female Two.
thirds of the total had something
to do with the preparation or hand
ling of foods So were housewives
10 were milk handlers, 8 cooks, 4
Isshellfish handlers. The rest were
farmers, laborers. or were engaged
In some other occupation. One-third
Of the cases occurred in the families
or homes Of the carriers; two-fifths
ron milk routes, and one-tentI in
households in which the cook was
found to be the carrier. The iarg-
est number of cases traced to one
individual was Sc. Another car
rier was responsible for AZ; a third
for % and still another for Is
Fifteen of the cases occurred in
1884, and the rest between 1912
and 1928.
1T will be seen from this review
of our records, that the greatest
menace in connection with carriers
comes from those who handle food
stuffs. The known carrier is not
permitted to engage in any of the
food handling occupations, and as
far as possible we keep record of
the carriers to whom cases of the
disease have been traced and see
that they do not endanger the lives
CT others.
| Because of the danger that arises
from sources that cannot be guard.
ed against, as the season for summer
outings and of eating at all sorts of
places approaches, the Department
advises those who have not been
vaccinated against typhoid fever
within the last two years to avail
themselves of the protection afford
ed by such vaccination. Three
NEGOTIATIONS week apart are neces-
sary to complete the immunization
The State Department of Health
provides the vaccine free to all
physicians who apply for it. All
that it will cost will be the physi-
clans fee and few minutes of your
time. If you have no physician go
to the nearest health officer"

ther economies might injure the

President Hoover said the purely
military expenses Of the United

greater than that Of any other ma
tion and at q time when he con-
Siders there is less danger Of war
than at any period within the last
fifty years.
Trouble Is foreseen in congress
when cuts are attempted with the
prospect of sharp division within
the army itself over the question.
Although the general staff's find
ings have been guarded, sugges-

directed ut some Of the many gar
risons scattered through the west
