LOOK BEFORE YOU BUY

Nothing bought today offers
feater opportunity for deception or
ubstitutiona than articles of bed
ing I'D, !. %. H Director Of
the State Department of Health,
said recently in speaking of the
operation of the State Bedding Law.
I'm connection with the inspec-
tions made by the Department under
the Bedding Law, our represent
atives have found all sorts of things
masquerading under names to which
they were not entitled vegetable
fibre labeled Hair; chopped chick
en- feathers tagged as down; shod-
dy, listed as all new cotton; even
chunks of dirt swept up into the
filings of more or less extensively
covered comforts.
But the most serious menace to
health was discovered recently in
the operations of concern which
claimed to specialize in the renovat-
ing or remaking OF bedding TOR re-
ligious institutions. Inspection o.
the plant showed that the stock from
which large number of mattresses
and pillows were to be made, con-
sisted of a number of secondhand
mattresses, pillows and feather beds,
bought from rag dealer, evidently
salvaged from garbage piles or
dumps and all of it heavily infested
with vermin. Fortunately, for the
health and comfort of the prospec-
tive purchasers, the discovery was
made before any of this material
was put on the market.
Before they buy mattresses,
comforts, pillows or other bedding,
ii would be we'll for housekeepers or
other purchasers to be sure that the
goods carry the official stamp bear
ing the name of the State Depart
ment of Health.
"The State Bedding Law requires
each mattress, pillow or comfort,
made or offered for sale in the State,
to have attached to it a tag on which
40 PAAAtoo VI Stdmpeus truthful
statement of the material used in
filling it. The stamp bearing the
name of the Maryland State Depart
ment of Health shows that the fac
tories in which the articles were
made and the materials used, are
regularly inspected by the Depart
ment."

Over the county line in Pennsyl-
vania a year ago there were many
abandoned farms which are now oc-
cupied, and this is due to the high
price paid for milk. Farmers can
make living in the dairy business,
which is of more Importance than
the creation of the Federal Farm
Board, with it's corporation members
and 500 million dollar appropria-
ton. Wonder if the Board will bull
the grain market?

hour, Jews harp music is empoyed
to cheer the gloomy farmer "An-
giles and ministers of grace defend
us" from such bunk.
Would it not be good idea to
suggest to the Chairman OF the
Farm Board to open up their daily
sessions by singing in the micro
phone "Rescue the Perlshing,"
s.Throw Out the Life Line" or kim
dred songs, that we might be heart
ened, so to speak, by knowing that
these corporation patriots were for

Land in Dispute

During the World war the express
sion mo Mans Land" was applied TO
the territory between the opposing
trenches. In United States history the
term was used of territory 40 miles
long and 80 miles wide in the north
of Texas, ceded to the United States
in 1850 and made part of Oklahoma
in 1890. Between these years, how
ever, it had no form of government
and was the resort of outlaws. No
Mans land is also district between
Delaware and Pennsylvania. BY some
it is held to belong the latter state,
while some individuals prefer to per-
form their legal obligations to Della

Eadie'S narrOweSt escape from
death, he says, came as the result OF
his having for a tender in the boat
from which he was working, an in
experienced youngster. A diving boat
is equipped with two TASKS. of COM
pressed air. When the pressure falls
below $50 pounds that flask is shut
off and the other one turned on. Eadie
had gone down to do certain piece
of work. He soon noticed that he
was getting less air than he needed
He signaled for more but got no re-
sponse. Again and again he signaled
and, realizing that the air in his he'll
met was getting foul. very fast, he
decided it was time to go up. So he
signaled that he was coming up and
got a reply. But the greenhorn and
two civilian employees who were in
the boat with him didn't pull up, so
he signaled again. Finally, after sew
eral agonizing minutes during which
he almost lost consciousness, he was
pulled up. 1t was fifteen minutes be-
fore he could speak, then he found
out what had been the trouble. His
tender had not been watching the
gauge on the first flask and did not
see that the air in it was completely
used up, so the master diver had
been suffocating with a full unused
flask of air in the boat!
The high spot in Tom Eadie's ca
reer came in December, 1927, when
the submarine S4 was rammed by the
Paulding and sank to the bottom. 1t
was Eadie who went down and by
tapping with hammer on the side of
the sunken sub, received the signals
from the trapped men which told that
there were still some survivors of the
accident in the torpedo room. The
story of the battle against the icy
water and the heavy sea to save the
lives of the trapped men is famil-
lar to. most Americans. But not all
know. of the heroic deed of Tom
Eadie. 1t was the deed which brought
him the Congressional Medal of Hon
or from the hands of President COOl-'
idge and the story of it is told briefly
in the following citation:
For display of extra aordinary heroism
in the line of his profession above
and beyond the call of duty on Decem-
Der Is, 1927, during the diving opera
tions in connection with the sinking
of the U. S. S. S-4 with all on board
as a result of a collision off Province
town, Mass. On this occasion when
Michaels, C. T. NJ, U. S. Navy, while
attempting to connect an air line to
the submarine at depth of l02 feet
became seriously fouled, Eadie, under
the most adverse diving conditions. de-
liberately, knowingly and willingly
took his own life in his hands by prompt
ly descending to the rescue in response
to the desperate need of his companion
diver. After two hours of extremely
dangerous and heartbreaking work by
his cool, calculating and skillful la
bors he succeeded in his mission and
brought Michaels safely to the surface.
There is little that can be added TO
that simple recital of heroisfn, but if
there were anything that could be
added, it should be the words of Com
mander F. II. Brumby of the control
force who was on board the Falcon
at the time of the rescue and who,
said 81 have never known so fine an
example of cold blOoded, deliberate
heroism as that shown by Eadie."

Fancy Names for Trains on English Railroads

sleepers in his own country is to find
English freight trains bearing attrac-
