Legion Opposing Maryland Bonus

A Maryland State bonus for World Wal
veterans is opposed by the Department Of
Maryland OF the American Legion as an
organization.
Harold C. Smith. Commander of the Le-
giOn. declared that bonus talk is foolish. -
Smith was commenting on reports that a
bill providing a-Stste bonus would be pre-
sented to the Legislature during this ses-
sion. He said:
The time a bonus was needed. If
needed at all, was when we first came
out of the service. II it is ever needed
again it will be in a period Of about 20
years.
Then the situation probably would be
taken care of by Federal bonus or pen
sion law. but this would not be State
matter. 1t is misunderstanding that
when the Maryland Veterans Relief Com
mission was created by the Legislature
with budget Of $50. 900 annually to care
for disabled and needy Maryland veterans
of all wars, that the bonus plan was
dropped.
THE commission. sponsored by the Le-
eion. in addition to caring for needy vet
Grams. their dependents and survivors, also
handles cases of men in the Maryland
National Guard and in border service.
Personally. will oppose State bonus
for think we shall be losing more than
we gain We could hardly hope to receive
bonus and still keep the $4,000 an.
nually for the relief commission.

The passing from this earthly life to the

a great loss to Montgomery County, espe-

| Gifted with broad vision and generous
impulses, he gave himself to the larger
development of Montgomery County. espe-
cially in behalf Of the needy.
In the earliest days of The Social Service
League, when very few understood its
mission. Mr.. ThJmas became an ardent
friend, supporting it with his heart. his
head and his purse, winning for the League
consideration and recognition. He was
made an officer at the organic alton of the
League. and for 20 years his patience,
large experience and financ al support gave
courage to his fellow officers. which con-
tributed largely to its success.
We shall miss his wise counsel and win
ming personality and, above all. his firm
belief in the need of the guidance Of God

that he heard his Savior say "lWas sick
and ye visited me. naked and ye clothed
me. a stranger and ye took me in,

Feed TIE Birds.

Mr. Editor AT this season of the yea
It is very essential that our birds be fed tC
carry them over the winter when feed /.
at its scarcest point. Therefore, for the
benefit of the readers of your valuable
paper. we would appreciate the publica-
ton of the following article:
Losses Of birds-eame, song and insec-
tivorous-and game animals in winter can
be prevented by systematic feeding and
we appeal to the public of Maryland to
contribute their part in saving the rem
nants of wild life at this time. While Il
is now mid-winter, 1t is not too late to
check up on the bird and game life Of
your section and to intensity and extend
facilities for feeding and caring for birds
and game animals. 1t very often happens
that some of the most destructive snow
and sleet storms, which cause tremendous
mortality of birds and game animals, occur
at this season Of the year. Every sport
mans club which has not already made
adequate provision fot feeding stations
should do so at once.
We issued bulletin In December, 1927.
entitled Winter Feeding of Bob White
Quail. which has been of great benefit
and brought about good results throughout
the State. This bulletin can be had upon
request.
Feeding stations should be established
wherever birds can be located, in exposed
places which the winds will sweep free of
snow or in well-sheltered places where
snow will not cover and hide the feed.
These stations should be built In such a
manner as to insure the birds opportunity
to escape from natural enemies and should
be surrounded by openings where ground
enemies will not have an opportunity to
hide. Bundles of unthrashed grain sup
ply food in ideal form, as they can be tied
to bushes or trees or placed in sheltered
places. Brush heaps furnish excellent feed
ing stations for birds.
Bob white quail. ruffed grouse and ring
necked pheasants, properly fed. will sur
vlve the winter and furnish brood stock to
our covers for the coming season. They
will eat and enjoy practically all kinds Of
grain and will come near farm buildings to
secure it. Wheat. barley. millet. corn, oats
and chick grain will furnish excellent feed
for these birds.
Feed should not be placed in large guam
titles, but should be furnished in small
quantities at frequent intervals. If feed
is placed in certain localities, the birds |
will soon learn to come to that section to |
feed at the dinner table Careful watch |
should be kept for vermin near all feeding
stations. especially for weasels. cats. owls
and hawks and they should be killed.
Again we appeal to the public Of Mary
and to assist in carrying over our brood
stock for the coming season.
To those who are not able to furnish
feed and will apply to the District Deputy
Game Wardens of their county, feed will |
be furnished gratis by the department.

A report on the influenza situation In
Maryland prepared by Dr.. R. H. Riley
Director of the Department of Health. shows
that over $4,000 cases of influenza were
reported In Maryland during the six weeks
beginning early in December and ending
the middle Of January. OF the total. 9.40C
occurred in the counties and 5000 in Bal
lmore City.
Comparing this years outbreak with
epidemics Of previous years. DR.. Riley said
that the last widespread outbreak in Mary
land occurred in 1928. when 18,45l cases
were reported 1857 in the counties and
Alta in Baltimore City. The most favor
able years since the great epidemics of
1918, 1919 and 1920. were 1924 and 1925,
with 2.l56 cases in the State in 1924, OF
which 1884 occurred in the counties aud
2.l25 in 1925. Of which 1925 occurred in
the counties. In 1928. 3.77l cases we're
reported. 1897 Of which were in the coun-
ties; in 1927 there we're SOFT cases. L,487
OF which occurred In the counties. and in
1925 there were 6.836 cases: 2,946 in
the counties and $500 in Baltimore City
On his return from the recent conference
on influenza. held in Washington at the
call Of the Surgeon General Of the u. S.
Public Health Service. DR.. Riley said that
observations made by health authorities
have shown that an outbreak Of influenza,
such as has swept the country this winter,
usually runs its course in from five to ten
weeks. Very often. however. the first out
break is followed few weeks later, by a
second wave with more or less severe
symptoms.
THE present outbreak in Maryland"
DR.. Riley continued, began late in No
vember. We can accordingly expect the
peak to lie reached very soon. but. in the
meanwhile. every possible precaution
should be taken to keep the disease within
bounds. The exercise of such precautions
now will be our best safeguard against
fiare-ups.
Like other highly contagious diseases.
influenza is most likely to attack those
whose powers Of resistance are below par.
On that account emphasis was laid in the
recommendations made by the conference.
on the importance of keeping fit by
/. Having plenty Of sleep and rest e to
10 hours every night with windows open.
but with enough covering to keep warm). |
"2. Eating moderately. mixed diet and
drinking plenty Of water e to s glasses
daily.
IS. Dressing according to the weather
and to ones occupation. wearing clothing |
which prevents chilling of the body sur
faces and which keeps the body dry.
a. Avoiding people with colds. especially
those who are sneezing or coughing.
IS. Keeping out of crowds as much as
possible. especially crowds in close places.
"6. Avoiding the use Of common towels.
wash basin, glasses. eating utensils and
toilet articles.
~. Washing the hands thoroughly be-
fore eating.
20. Avoiding alcohol and stimulants of
all sorts.
But. IL you have a cold. or are feeling
badly. or are feverish. it was agreed that
the way to avoid serious illness is to 60
bed at once; then, send for your doctor
and follow his instructions"

In Mefnoriam.

In memory Of my dear mother and father
who died four years ago. January "a. 1925
God called you. mother and father.
Called you to His home on high.
Each day miss you sadly,
There's many tear and many a sigh
It's 80 lonesome here without you.
When your voice do not hear,
For no words were ever sweeter
Than the words you spoke so dear.
Can help from feeling lonelyS
When the ones love have gone to rest,
Life doesn't seem the same to me,
How yearn for their gentleness.
She mothered US five when we were sick
she watched our bed.
Night after night she cooled our fevered
heads,
Suffering when we suffer pain.
Happy when we smile again.
She would toll that we might play,
That was my dear mothers way.
Often from our hearts comes bitter cry.
Wondering how they came to die.
But may we DO prepared to meet them
When our time has drawn nigh.
Charles H. Russell.
