LARGE SUM SPENT ON TUBER.
CULOSIS WORK IN CECIL
COUNTY LAST YEAR

The sum of $S39.17 was spent in
Cecil County last year by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association for
tuberculosis work, according to i'm
formation sent to this paper by the
tuberculosis Association. Mr.. w.
B. Matthews, Managing Director Of
the State Association, stated that the
sum spent was divided among the
county clinics, preventorium care OF
Cecil county children at the Miracle
House, and for nursing service and
health supplies.
Itemized, the expenditures are az
follows: Free Chest Clinics $40:
Preventorium care $65.8S: Health
Supplies $4,000: Nursing Service
$173.29. In 1927 the total amount
of money raised from the annual
sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals was S662.S5 showing that ex-
penditure made for tuberculosis
work in the county was considerably
more than was raised.
Every effort is now being made
by workers to have those who have
not made their returns for 1923
Christmas Seals to do so at once, so
that the county health work might
continue.

FARQUHAR BUILDS AN INTER-
CHANGEABLE GRAIN DRILL

=
Agriculture is the worlds basic
industry. Every generation sees q
marked advance in farm equipment.
Modern methods require the most eff
ficient and convenient machinery, ii
the farmer is to receive adequate re-
turns for his labor and Investment.
A. B. FarQuhar Co., Limited. York,
Pa, is now placing ON the market
their new interchangeable Grain
Drill.
Many progressive farmers have
been looking for convenient. and
thoroughly practical drill with
which to seed the various cereal
crops-wheat, rye, oats, barley,
speltz, soy beans, field peas; clover,
alfarfa, vetch, etc., and placed on the
market. Possessing very superior
provisions for accurate seeding, the
Farquhar Drill has been designed
with interchangeable features.
This drill has but one type of drag
bar. 1t may be equipped with
break pins or springs and is quickly
interchangeable. The shovel open
er may be removed from the drag
bar and the disc opener placed into
position--the change from the hoe
to the disc opener may be made in
less than 20 minutes.
I Another and very important fea-
ture of this new drill is that both
the shovel and disc openers may be
staggered by raising lever easily
accessible from the rear All hop
pers are easily filed from the rear
because of the low down cepstruc-
ton and yet the drill has standard
4S-inch wheels.
Another very important inter-
changeable feature is the quick
change from having the; discs oper-
ate, so as to throw the ground toward
the center OF the drill. instead of
from the ceater of the drill. thus
eliminating the center ridge formed
by the two center discs throwing the
ground In opposite directions.
Throwing the ground toward the
center Of the drill when seeding
steep hillsides provides very much
better seeding. Should the upper
most disc fail to cover all the grain,
then the broad tread wheel will COM
pete the covefage upon the return
trip.
The New interchangeable Drill
will be shown on second door Publ
cations Building. 10th and Market
Streets. Harrisburg. during Farm
Crops Show January 20 to rs, 1929.

DR.. Sergias p. Grace demonstrates
ne,o artificial larynr.
The Bell Telephone Laboratories.
the research and development branch
of the Bell System is constantly en-
gagged in improving the art of com
munication. By-product developments
of telephone communication have re-.
suited in many humanitarian accom-
plishments. Not the least Of these is
the artificial larynx which has made
X possible for people who have lost
their larynges through surgical opera
tions to talk again.
The latest type Of artificial Iarynx
developed by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories has range of an octave.
This permits variation in the pitch
of the speech tones and avoids the
tone monotony OF the earlier design
Of larynx.
A person IN talking uses an instru
mept much like bellows to which a
rubber tube with a metal mouthpiece
is attached. He places the tube Ia
his mouth, squeezes the bellows, his
lipa move and d manQtana EaiaA n

able, the sound comes from the arti
ficial larynx which pours into the
mouth like q low melodious whistle
However. it Is necessary. laboratory
engineers say. to remember to squeeze
the bellows when speech is wanted
and equally necessary to stop squeez
ing when the speech is finished.
One Of the difficulties for beginners
in the use Of the artificial larynS
comes In the fact that the organs Of
speech seem too surprised to go thor
oughly through the motions Of talking
They miss the usual warning yihra-
tions coming up from the throat Il
is said, however, that a person may
learn In few minutes out of the
apparatus how to make himself under

SOME FIGURES IN REGARD TO
THE NEW CRUISER BILL
AND SOME QUESTIONS

In some curious way the country
generally has drifted into nen-un-
Outstanding of the Cruiser Bill now
before Congress-. Because the ex-
tent Of this building proposal is so
much less than that at first put be-
fore Congress, and the country, a
general idea has arisen mistlike and
obscuring the real issue, that this
requirement is only in line with
needed progress. Such an idea has
been carefully fostered and anyone
who looks into the matter can recog-
nize from what sources the foster
ing comes. But few are willing to
take the trouble to look
What does this Cruiser Bill really
mean? Take its meaning in terms
of money. First, to, complete the
existing construction program on
which we have already spent $72,-
240, 900 and which is the second big
gest the United States has ever put
on, it will be necessary to spend
$159,321,550. And for additional
aircraft s14,903,OOo, totalling STA
|225,0O0. This is for building ships
already authorized by former legis-
lation, outside the new program.
The new program provides for adj
ditional aircraft amounting to $19,-
386,725 in addition to the cost of
the ships, totalling nearly half a
billion. Maintenance and opera
tion for the cruisers is estimated at
81 ,247,O00 each,. which, with 49,
179, 900, for the aircraft, makes a
total of $21,S91,500 annually.
Already the navy is costing the
United States about one million
day.
The existing program which was
at first referred to, will not be COM
pleted until 1882. These are some
of the figures. AS to the questions.
Is it necessary to take these stupen-.
dous sums from the country's trea-
sury? Even if the United States is
the richest country in the world do
we wish to put so huge a part of its
WcdIIu " ILLS QuIpOSG: ~ II .uCCcS-
.sary? WHAT COULD WE NOT DO
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE COUNTRY WITH THESE
SUMS?
And are not our ideals towards
development, better living condi-
tions, and the happiness OF our
people? Are we not showing by the
Kellogg Peace Pact and by our ex-
pressions of the desire to outlaw
war that we desire peace so that
these better things may come for
ourselves and all the world, and do
we not realize that war is obsolete?
Do we dare stand before the
world with the Kellogg Peace Pact
in one hand and the bill forwarding
such a naval construction program
in the other?

are we still willing tofkeer bp-,
pied sleep and not take the tblel
to look? These are few the
questions we need to ask.

RING MARKET BULLlSH,
 REPORT BY JEWELLERS
June Brides Mean Good Business Where Expensive Metal Circles
 Are Sold.

Along with the roses, moons, and what nave you, June also brings other things, not sung about by the roets., It is the month when the jeweler rubs his hands and lets a contented smile play over his face. For June, with the ether things, is also notorious for June brides and each June bride requires a plain gold band, if not a diamond.
 In fact the ring market, even be- fore June. gets decidedly bullish, and there is not a bear movement until the latter part of September. when the sweet young things who once were thinking about marriage begin to fear that they will not get new fur coat for the winter.
 "The antics of the questing male, when he comes in for the ring. are well. ludicrous. He hems and he haws, and fools around. One young ster I know started in by asking to look at collar pins. Finally he brought about the subject" said one local jeWeler.
 And then there are some fe- males, after they are sure they have made the catch and know the store where the young man Is going 10 buy the ring, will come around. se- lect the ring. and then tell the sales man what to sell him.
