Protect Our Song and Ipsecti-
VOrOuS Birds

At this season of the year when
practically all species of migratory
birds Especially the song and insecti-
vorous birds) are returning to Mary
land covers to begin housekeeping for
the season of 1880, it is very essential
that we should give them adequate
protection, thereby assuring a sue
cessful propagation season, according
to E. Lee LeCompte, State Game
Warden.
The department is endeavoring,
thru the cooperation of the State
Board of Education, thru the teachers
of the public schools of the State to
educate the pupils to the necessity of
the conservation of birdlife.
The agriculturists and gardeners of
our State should be interested in the
program for conservation of birdlife
as it is impossible to grow crops
without the assistance of the insecti-
vorous birds which annually destroy
millions of insects and obnoxious
weeds.
The expense of building and main
tanning bird houses which furnish
nesting places for numerous species
of birds is so small that the general
public should by all means furnish
more homes for their feathered
friends.
Chapter 568, Acts of 1927, provides
it to be unlawful for any person to
kill, catch or have in their possession,
living or dead, any resident OF migra-
tory wild bird other than a game
bird;' g. purchase, offer or expose for
sale any such wild non-game birds,
the plumage, skin or body, whether
said bird was captured or killed with
in the State of Maryland or within
any other State, Territory of Country.
This Act also provides it to be I'M
lawful to take or destroy or attempt
to take or destroy the nest or the
eggs of any wild bird, whether same
be game or non-game, or have such
nest or eggs in possession under a
penalty of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000 for each and every
offense.

COST OF EDUCATION IS
INCREASING In MARYLAND
$50 Needed for Teaching Aver
age White Pupil in Counties
in Elementary Schools

The cost of education in Maryland
elementary schools is rising, if the in
crease during the 1928-29 school year
may be considered a sign, the State
Department of Education announced
recently.
Excluding costs of general control
and fixed charges, the current ex-
pense of educating the average white
elementary pupil in the counties last
year was $50, an increase of nearly
So more than in the preceding year
The expenditure per pupil ranged
from SAP in Washington county AND
SAB in Frederick and Hartford to sec
in Garrett and Montgomery counties
Size OF Class Is Factor
Size of class and salaries of teach.
ers are the major factors bearing or
the increase, according to the an
nouncement. The average salary in
creased in every county except two
so that with classes of the same size
the cost per pupil for salaries would
necessarily be greater in 1929 than il
1928, it was added.
For the counties as group, the
salary cost per pupil increased by 81
cents, while the cost for supervision
was lowered by cents, in comparison
with 1928.
Book Expense Cited
Ten cents per pupil for last year:
increase was attributed to extra ex
pense for books and materials.
Modern methods of teaching
which require wealth of reference
material and an abundance of books
especially for social studies, canno
be put into practice without additiona
expenditures for these purposes il
most of the countless" the announce
ment stated.
Operation and maintenance cost!
increased by 80 cents, while sundr!
items brought the general State aver
age cost per pupil to $50, or nearl!
So over the year before, it was said.

? THE BOYS AND GIRLS
? QUESTION BOX
They're So Simple That Anybody Can
Ask Them
But Can You Answer Them?

Questions, profoundly simple, asked
by our young hopeful, puzzle the best
of US. The puzzlers appearing in
this column from time to time are in
tended primarily to amuse and in
struct the youthful the older folk
may answer if they can.
1. Where does the wind begin?
2. Where does the wind go when it
does not blow?
3. What makes the wind whistle {?
4. Why does heat make paper curl :?
S. What makes lead pencil
write?
/. The wind is movement of part
of the air through the air around it.
There are changes always going on in
the pressure of the air at one place
as compared with another. This pro-
duces wind, since air is always moved
from a place where the pressure is
high to a place where the pressure is
lower-practically in the same way as
water will always try to form level
surface instead of being heaped up
higher in one place than in another.
2. The wind goes no where when it
does not blow, for the reason that the
wind is not a thing we can see, like
an apple for instance, but is state of
movement So, when the wind does
not blow, it is not because the wind
has hidden itself away, but simply be-
cause the air is still and there is no
movement.
8. The whistling of the wind is
caused by the air forcing itself thru
chinks of doors or windows, or per-
haps down the chimney or through
the branches of trees. The wind pass
ing thru the air, of itself, does not
make itself known to us in sound. We
only hear it when it forces itself thru
or around an obstruction.
4. Because there is certain
amount of water in paper, as in all
ordinary things. So, if we heat the
paper, we change the water into gas
and drive it away and the spaces in
the paper that were filled with water
are now filled with air, which is very
much lighter. The heat causes the
temperature of the paper to change
unevenly, causing it to expand in one
place and contract in another, thus
causing it to curl.
5. A lead pencil is not made of
lead. If it were, it would not write.
1t is made of form of tiny crystals
of carbon called graphite. The crys-
tails are small, and of such a shape
that they can easily be rubbed away
from each other by friction, thus leav-
ing the tiny crystals on the paper.
If there was no such thing as friction,
the pencil would not write.

An Interesting Fact.
Garrett County

OoAlVtO SOuALNy
Garrett county, the youngest of the
counties of Maryland, was carved out
of territory belonging to Allegheny
county in 1872, fifty-eight years ago.
1t has an area of 660 square miles,
the largest in the State, and has a
population 1920 of 1858. 1t was
named after John w. Garrett.
John w. Garrett became president
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company in 1858, and as the guiding
genius of the only line of railroad
which ran into Washington from the
North and from the West during the
War of Secession, soon dominated the
political situation throughout Mary
land. He was a personal friend of
President Lincoln and his descendants
cherish letters indicted to him in the
handwriting of the martyred Presi-
dent.
Not only was Mr.. Garrett closely
connected with the business and po-
litical affairs of his own state, but in
the interest of his railroad, took an
active part in the formation of the
neighboring state of West Virginia.
1t may not be generally known, but
while West Virginia's birth was being
discussed, especially with reference to
the counties of the mother state which
would go to make up the new, it was
proposed, among other things, that
Accomac and Northampton counties
on the eastern shore of Virginia be
transferred to Maryland in exchange
for an equivalent in Western Mary
land in the territory now comprised in
the counties of Garrett and Allie
gheny. This was opposed by Mr..
Garrett. If the exchange had been
consumated as proposed, Carrot coun-
ty would have been part of West
Virginia, instead of component part
of the Free State.
So great, indeed, was the influence
of John W. Garrett in national af-
fairs that he appears to have been
primarily responsible for placing the
counties of Jefferson and Berkeley in
the state of West Virginia, largely
for the reason that he wanted his
railroad, from the time it crossed the
Potomac at Harper's Ferry until it
returned to Maryland, to keep within
the bounds of one state, which object
he succeeded in accomplishing when
the two counties named were placed
within the newly created state of
West Virginia.
John W. Garrett, for, whom Garrett
county was named, was not only a
great developer of his own state, but
was an empire builder without, and
was a potent factor in causing the
now residents of Garrett county to be
citizens of Maryland rather than of
our neighboring state.

THREE RULES FOR KEEPING
MOUTH IN GOOD HEALTH
In Addition To These Visit the
Dentist Regularly

DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the State
Department of Health, gives three
rules for keeping the mouth and teeth
in good health. Here they are:
1. Eat properly balanced meals;
2. Keep the mouth clean;
3. Go to your dentist regularly for
an examination of your teeth.
Correct diet makes strong teeth.
Clean teeth are less apt to decay than
are dirty ones. 1t is mistake, how
ever, to depend upon these two rules
alone in maintaining mouth health.
The third rule, calling for regular
dental examination by a competent
dentist, must be added as an impor-
tant factor in keeping the teeth strong
and the mouth in normal, good health.
"Twice a year is none too often to
visit your dentist for the purpose Of
g. careful, thorough mouth examina-
ton. This will insure discovery of de-
fects early enough to provide for their
correction before they assume serious
proportions. If, starting as early as
three years of age, child is taken
twice-yearly to a dentist for dental
inspection and needed corrections
and if the proper diet and rules Of
cleanliness are followed in the mean
time-the child is practically assured
of reaching adult life without being
subjected to either the pain or discom-
fort accompanying bad teeth or to
body ill-health caused by some infec-
ton having it's source in bad teeth.
"Too often one awaits the twinges
of an aching tooth before visiting a
dentist. By that time the trouble may
have extended greatly, necessitating
more work by the dentist. At the sam,
time. the work is likely to be. more
painful and the permanency of the
correction less sure. Regular twice
yearly visits to your family dentist
will enable you to do preventive rather
than corrective work. Preventive
measure cause a minimum of trouble,
pain and expense.
"The old adage IAN ounce of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure is es-
pecially applicable to care of the
teeth. A good rule to follow is, never
let your teeth ache A good habit
to establish is a twice-yearly visit to
your dentist for mouth examination"
