FIVE OF SEVEN TOWNS OF
COUNTY SHOW INCREASES
Two Districts Also Gain-Slight
Losses Reported in Others
No Figures for 5 Districts

A gain of 1923 in seven towns of
Garrett county, which are listed sepa-
rately from districts, is noted in the
preliminary count of the returns in
the fifteenth Census, according to
John j. Stump, Cumberland, super
visor of the First Maryland district.
Along with this gain in the towns of
the county, two districts, Ryan's
Glade and Bloomington, list gains.
Other districts report slight losses
while no figures are available on five
districts.
A loss of 1874 is recorded during the
ten year period in the total number
enumerated in the county thus far.
Reports show that there have been
14,315 enumerated as compared with
14,499 in 1920. These figures do not
include districts 3, Z, 10, II, IA and 10.
A total of 1857 farms have been en-
umerated, according to the last re-
port.
District No. II, the Elbow, shows a
population of 300 as compared with
$40 in 1920 but this loss is due to the
formation of a new election district,
Avilton, and since no report is avail
able on Avilton, is not counted in the
total thus far.
The following shows the population

Plunges Over Embankment

A new Plymouth roadster driven by
an unknown man from Redwood, W,
Va, plunged over the embankment on
Fort Pendelton Hill, just opposite
Gormania, W. Va, but in Garrett
county, on Friday evening.
The car rolled about $50 feet down
the hill and landed on the Western
Maryland Railroad tracks. The driver
was thrown out but not seriously
hurt. His companion jumped when he
saw what was going to happen and
escaped injury.
This is the same spot where Lieut.
enant and Mrs. Pascal N. Strong, of
Morgantown, W. Va, were seriously
injured during the middle of March
when their car left the road and
plunged dawn the embankment to the
railroad tracks beneath.

F. E. RATHBUN WILL AGAIN
HEAD GARRETT'S SCHOOLS
Chosen Yesterday for Agar
Term as Superintendent-Mr.
Loraditch, President of Board

Yesterday morning, with the new
member of the Board, Mr.. Stuart
F. Hamill, in attendance, the Garrett
County Board of Education organized
with the election of H. A. Loraditch
president, and John w. Mccullough,
vice-president.
In the election of a County Super
intendent the name of the present Of
ficer, Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, was pre-
scented as the only applicant and he
was chosen by the Board during his
absence from the board meeting. His
term of office, under the ruling and
school law will begin on August 1,
1880, and expire on July 81, 1884.
Other matters considered by the
board were of more or less Importance
to the various school communities.
Trustees in the rural sections were
reappointed as recommended by the
patrons of these schools, and in the
larger school centers the same trus-
tees serving last year were continued.
The purchase of additional land adj
jacent to the Grantsville school, was
taken under advisement. The school
building at Grantsville is to be en-
larged within the next few months and
in order that outdoor activities Of the
students may not be hampered it has
become necessary that additional land
be purchased.
Mr.. Rathbun was first appointed to
the SUPPLEMENTARY in May, 1912,
for a term of two years. Later his
term of office was extended to four
years by legislative enactment, hence
his appointment yesterday makes his
seventh consecutive appointment to
the office.

INSPECTION OF YARDS is
BEGUN BY LOCAL JUDGES
25O Persons Are Entered In the
Horticultural Speci-
alist Will Be Here On May ~

Inspection of properties of all en-
trants in the Oakland Yard and Gar
den contest is now being made by
jdges selected by the Oakland Civic
club under whose auspices the contest
is being conducted, and they will be
busy for the next several days in
viewing the lots as they appear be-
fore the Identification begins.
Early this morning it was an
nounced that $50 were entered in the
contest, number far in excess of the
highest expectations. These $50 en-
trants are now keeping their lawns
carefully raked. Grass is clipped
short and neat. Dead and injured
branches are being removed from
trees and shrubs. Lawns and plants
are kept watered and provided with
plant food.
Weeds and noxious grasses are be-
ing removed from lawn areas and
flower beds and borders are being
kept neatly edged.
Judges Instructed
Judges have been instructed to take
into consideration in looking over each
yard the results accomplished to the
means available. Where unfavorable
conditions and exceptional handicaps
have been overcome the entrant will
be given a higher score than if cir
cumstances were all favorable to the
development of beautiful place.
Where naturally favorable conditions
were not taken advantage of, the yard
will of course be scored against. The
basic scale is the degree of beautifica-
ton of the home grounds through
planting.
Horticultural to be Here
Mr.. w. R. Ballard, extension horti-
culturist of the University of Mary
land, will be in Oakland on May 81,
and will give suggestions and inspect
properties of all who notify Mrs. A.
L. Lee, chairman, or Miss Lottie Loar,
president of the Oakland Civic club.
A great improvement in the beauty
of Oakland can already be noted, Miss
Loar stated. Participation in the yard
and garden contest will make Oakland
known far and wide as a beautiful
city and the various families who
have entered have already determined
to let people know what difference a
few trees, shrubs and flowers make.

HUMAN LIFE SPAN INCREASES
TO So YEARS SINCE 1910
Economy of Life Attributable to Objective
Immunization-C Children Fatalities
Greatly Decreased.

The average span of human life
which two decades ago stubbornly rested
at a maximum level of 48 years, has now
increased to the encouraging sum Of So
years, according to recent statistics OF
the United States Public Health Service
This progressive economy Of life
largely attributable to more exact meth
DDS of objective immunization, has been
most pronounced among children, espe-
cially infants.
Two decades ago, the ordinary course
of children's diseases, running from
measles to smallpox, resulted in an I'M
justihably high percentage of fatalities.
Now, with these diseases counteracted
by incubation and sanitation, childhood
is no more harassed by disease than
adulthood.
Smallpox and diphtheria, once consid-
cred the most dangerous and infectious
of childrens diseases, are now virtually
controlled by vaccine methods. Small
pox after one or two vaccinations, is
now almost a medical phenomenon.
Diphtheria, combated by a series of
antitoxins, will soon be regarded as an
eradicable disease.
While vaccination or incubation is
the most general method of immuniZa-
ton. particularly with respect to the
individual there are many diseases
which may be eradicated by general
community measures.
Typhoid fever, through sanitary con-
troll of water and milk supplies, has
been reduced to the disappearing point.
Yellow fever and bubonic plague, for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-19

mer scourges Of humanity, are now
preventable by determination measures
against the rat and mosquito.
OF the less serious childrens diseases,
scarlet fever, measles and occasional
rabies. there, too. preventive methods
have become definitely infallible.
Scarlet fever, now little more than an
indisposition, is seldom combated by
wholesale immunization. Serum meth
DDS against measles are only recon-
mended when one person may spread
the disease to a group of persons, such
as a family. The Pasteur treatment,
administered with promptness, is a
positive countercheck for rabies.
Optimistically commenting on this 20
year crusade against premature death,
particularly against death among chill
dren, the United States Public Health
Service states:
1.-THE expectation Of life at birth-that
is, the average length of time that all
children born at a given time will live
has increased from about 48 years to So
years in the last 20 years"
However, despite this unparalleled sus-
cess, the report concludes:
Another side of the picture yet re-
mains; an enormous wastage of health
and life still continues, due to the fall
ure to apply existing knowledge"
