 Pass on good news, not news that's
 bad: Make people joyous-neycr sad.
 -Old Mother Nature
 It happened one morning that a school of small fish came up tho Laughing Brook into the Smiling Pool. Peter Rabbit was over there at the time. He didn't know any thing about that school of small fish and he couldn't understand the cause of the sudden excitement. Rattley the Kinsfisher started it. Rattles was sitting on his favorite perch on . dead limb of the Big Hickory tree on the bank of the Smiling Pool. 4uddenly he plunged. in the way he has of doing, down into the water. snd moment later came up with a dsh in his bill. It was a good d-sized hsh for Rattles to catch. He flew back to his favorite perch and there he thumped and pounded it on the branch until the fish was dead. Then hs turned it around a swallowed it head first
 A moment later Longlegs the Heron who vas standing in the shall low water near where the Laughing Brook leaves the Smiling Pool. shot that long bill of his downward, and he, tco, mad a fish. Dippor inc Grece and Mrs. GreDe were sitt .ng on inc water idly smoothing out their feathers. They saw Rattlcr catch his fish and they saw Long legs catcl: his fish. Instantly they were alert. They no longer had a 'noNght for the appearance of tteir feathers. Almost together they div Cd. No one can Give more quickly than can Dipper the Grebe. One instant they were there ai.l the nsxt instant they had disappeared. But hey came up on the other side O the Smiling Pocl and each had d little fish.
 Bad news travels fast Good news travels fast sometimes, too. How the news that there was good fishing in the Smiling Pool travelled, l do not know. But travel it did. for in very short time who should appear circl- ing above the Smiling Pool but Piunger the Osprey. Peter always 1io love to see Plunser fish. You know. Plunser IS called the Fish Hawk. Presently he lowered for 8 moment. then down he shot He disappeared completely. but it vas only for second. and then he was mapping his way up again. He had fish in his great hooked cla ws. Ii was bigger than the fish that Rattles had caught, or the one that Longlees had caught. Once more Dipper and Mrs. Dippcr disappeared. only 10 re- appear, each with fish.
 Then Peter discovered Billy Mink climbing out on the Big Rock. Billy also had a fish, He began 10 eat il ss he sat there on the Big Rock Glancing over toward the place where the Laughing Brook flows into .he Smiling Pool, Peter could sa d brown head coming swiftly down the Smiling Brook. Just after it en- tered the Smiling Pool it disar- peared. 4 moment later if popped up right ill the middle Of the Sn1ll- Ing Pool.
 Hello Little Joe Otter.' cried Peter, dancing about excitodlv.
 Little Joe Otter turned his head and looked over at Peter. but he didn't say a word. He couldn't His mouth was full. He had fish.
 Qwack the Night Heron presently came Tapping up from the Big River. Soon he, too. was fishing.

You see. it was a regular fishing party and everybody was having good luck-evcrybody but the fishes.
 Peter sighed. His sigh sounded almost regretful. Fl wish l liked fish myself" said Peter
 "Chug-a-rull.," said Grandfather Frog. What good would it do you if you did ll5t fish? How would you catch them ?''
 That vas question that Peter couldn't answer. so very wisely he didn't try to.

that is the proportion of deaths to
the total population-there would
have been 1892 deaths from tuber-
culosis in 1928, instead of 1897.
"That is one side of the story and
it is a very encouraging one. Here
is another. When the records are
analysed, we find that there has been
much greater decline in the deaths
from tuberculosis in the white popu-
lation, than in the colored. In 1928,
there were nearly four times as many
deaths from tuberculosis among the
colored people in proportion to the
colored population, as there were III
the white population. If the rate in
the colored population had been the
same as that in the white population,
instead of having 698 deaths from
tuberculosis, among the colored peo-
pie, in the State, during the year,
there would have been 1873.
at is generally estimated that
there are ten cases of sickness in
proportion to every death from tuber-
culosis. Basing our estimates on the
deaths from tuberculosis, last year,
there are now 1870 persons in the
State-Baltimore City and the coun-
ties together-who are ill with the
disease-9,990 white and $3.50 COL
ored. Of that number 5,400 white
and $500 colored live in the counties.
eve have made great strides in the
control and prevention of tuberculos-
is, but figures like this show US that
we still have huge task before us.
The clinics that are held each month
have been of inestimable value to
thousands of our people. There is al
ways a better chance of arresting the
disease if it is discovered and cared
for, in the early stages. On that ac-
count, the early diagnosis clinic
schedule for, April, are of the utmost
Importance"

new members We're received into the
Bittingr congregation by the pastor,
Rev. E. E. Campbell All were young
people, most of whom had just COM

The greatest shock experienced by
the people of this community in many
years came last Monday afternoon
with the announcement Of the sudden
death of Morris Beachy, third son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Silas c. Beachy. The
young man, so suddenly smitten, was
in his tewnty-fourth year and was
very popular with the young people Of
this section For the past two years
he had driven the bus which carried
many students from this neighborhood
to the Accident high school daily and
in that capacity made many warm
friends by his obliging manner and
genial personality. The funeral took
place on Wednesday afternoon from
the Center Baptist church near Acct
dent, with services conducted by the
Rev. Scrogum. Interment was made
in the cemetery near the church. The
sympathy of the entire community
goes out to the bereaved parents and
brothers and sisters.
