DON'T REGARD LIGHTLY
"CHILDREN'S DISEASES"
DIR. R. H. Riley Says They Often
Cause Dangerous After-Effects

AS the frosty days come, and the
children who have just entered school,
spend more and more of the day IN
doors and in close association with
each other, mothers are cautioned by
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, to safeguard
the youngsters from the infectious
diseases-measles, chicken poX,
humps, whooping cough, scarlet fe-
yer, diphtheria-that begin to flare up
as soon as the schools open.
at is a mistake" DR.. Riley said,
"to say they are only children's dis
eases and it is better to have them
and have it over. Every one of these
diseases carries with it the POSSIBLE
ty of dangerous after-effects. Pneu-
monia often follows measles. Deaf
ness in later life can often be traced
back to some 'childrens disease in
early childhood. Damaged hearts and
kidney diseases often rusult from
some of the same diseases.
accordingly, none of the chill
dren's diseases should be regarded
lightly, and every effort should be
made to safeguard children against
them. The majority of children's
diseases are especially hard upon the
younger children. During the last
five years, 1907 cases of measles
have been reported to the State Blu
reau of Communicable Diseases from
the counties. Of the total, 1860
nearly half-occurred among chill
dren from to 9; 1902 or over one
fourth among the children under five;
and 2,704 or one-sixth among the
children from 10 to IA. The disease
was more fatal to the youngest
group-155 out of the total of 1872
deaths, or over three-fourths, occur
ring among the children under five.
"Whooping cough is another disease
that is always with us, and that is
particularly dangerous to the younger
children. From 1925 through 1929,
we had 1886 cases of whooping
cough reported from the counties,
with 1,637-over a understanding
among children from to g.; 606
among babies under year old and
1,767 among children from to a, that
is, 2,373 among the children under
five, or considerably over half of the
total at all ages. There were 400
deaths from whooping cough during
the five year period, and of that num-
Der, 237, or nearly three-ifths, oc
Cured among babies under year old;
ISL or over third, among children
from 1 to 4; and 10 among children
from five to nine. A similar account
could be given of practically every one
of the children's diseases.
"Nearly all of these diseases begin
with what seems to be Just cold or
digestive upset. Children VINO nave
such symptoms should be watched
carefully, should be kept home from
school, and the doctor should be sent
for if there is not prompt improve
ment. Some of our most serious out
breaks have resulted from what we
call missed" cases-that is cases that
were apparently too light for the
doctor to be called. In many instan-
ces the children continued to go to
school, or to associate and play with
other children. The result was a
group of cases instead of the few
that started the outbreak"

COUNTY AGENTS COLUMN
J. H. CARTER,

Forest Plantations Stand DrOugh Well
Farmers of the State who are con-
templating planting trees on their
property next spring should not be
discouraged by the severe drought of
the past summer, since most OF the
forest plantations in the various coun-
ties have come through very success
fully, it is said by F. B. Trenk, specia-
list in forestry for the University of
Maryland Extension Service, who has
just returned from tour of inspec-
ton of these young plantations. Par
ticularly in the loblolly pine planta-
tions of the Eastern Shore and South
ern Maryland sections of the State
the survivals have been as great as
during a normal wet season.
For example, a survival of 80 per-
cent was recorded by Mr.. Trenk on the
farm of F. D. Stovell, of Talbot coun-
ty. where the trees had been set out
in burrows. On a farm in Caroline
county where a 10000 tree plantation
had been set out and on 10000 tree
plantation in Worcester county the
survival was as high, if not higher.
On $4,000 loblolly pine plantation
in Dorchester county, where the trees
were set out after the effect of the
drought was apparent the survival Of
trees was rs percent, which is con-
sidered sufficient by forestry officials
to produce full stand Of timber.
Plantations of white and red pine in
Hartford county show losses of only 10
to 20 percent, considered unusually
good since these trees ordinarily re-
quire large amount of rainfall for
good results.
Records by Mr.. Trenk show that

New Feed Available For Livestock
Owners


Maryland farmers who are looking
for a substitute for hay are advised
to investigate new product, oatmeal
mill run feed which, according to DR..
DeVoe Meade, specialist in animal
husbandry for the University of
Maryland Extension Service, seems to
be a very satisfactory feed for live
stock, being at least equivalent to
timothy hay.
The new product, which has been
on the market but a short time, is
ground very coarsely and is being de-
livered to various points in the State
in bag containers. 1t mixes readily
with other feeds and can, therefore,
be used to replace large part of the
hay in dairy and livestock rations. In
the case of horses it may be used
practically as the sole roughage.
Owing to the low cost and value of
this feed, dairy and livestock farmers
should make an effort to get in touch
with their respective county agents
who have samples of the product.
Approximately 25 manufacturers of
oat products are able to supply the
new feed, it is said.

Jolly pine plantation where the trees
were planted too late.
When such results as these can be
obtained under as adverse conditions
as were encountered this summer,
farmers should not be discouraged in
planting, Mr.. Trenk declares.

COMMISSION PROPOSES RECREATION DIRECTOR
Engaging of Full Time Su- ,pervisOr Recommended
 in Annual Report

In the report of the municipal recreation commission, completed to- day, the recommendation is again made that an appropriation be al lowed for the employment of a full time supervisor of recreation. Past efforts to obtain such an appropri- ation have been unsuccessful but in the judgment of the commission 1t cannot be delayed longer if the best interests of the public, the children and the city in general are to be served.
 The report is as follows:
 'The report of the municipal rec reation commission covering the last two years of activity on the pub lie playgrounds is herewith respect fully submitted. The detailed pro- grams of play, together with statis- tics and other pertinent information is contained in the report of the su- pervisor, John J. Smithwick.
 ''As the park system of the city has expanded, so has the activity of the public playgrounds increased in scope, and it is pleasure to report that the utmost harmony and CO., ordination of effort existed between the officials of the park and recrea- tion boards.
 Tt seems to us, that we can no longer delay engaging a supervisor to act for the commission on an all- year-round basis. This commission and commissions before it have urg- ed the employment of competent

Capture Rumored

Buenos Aires, Oct. (P - The capture of the important northern city of Pernambuco after a 24-hour battle, the peaceful occupation of the city of Natal, and important progress in the southern areas was claimed by leaders of the Brazilian revolution today.
 Pernambuco, said a communique issued at Porto Alegre, Rio Grande Do Sul, fell after an insurgent force of 5000 men had marched against it and taken it from the garrison.
 Dispatches from the correspond ent of La Nacion at Porto Legre said that the people in Rio Grande Do Sul, had received news of the revolutionary movement with great enthusiasm and that many volun- teers had presented themselves to serve in the revolutionary ranks.
 100000 in Army
 It was estimated the revolutionary army in Rio Grande Do Sul now has available 100000 men.
 The rebel leaders also laid claim to important acquisitions of arms and munitions. They said that as soon as the movement started meas ures were taken to capture an ar sena1 where there were 29,000 rifles and 443 machine guns. All this war material was distributed among the revolutionary troops.
 The correspondent said that re- ports were received of the capture of Gen. Rondop and his entire staff of the federal army as they were marching toward Rio Grande Do Sul. These reports also said that

Contests to Be Resumed After Lapse of Seven Years for Lipton Trophy -Old Salts Superstitious Over Fate of Boats.

Gloucester, Mas, Oct. 8 R-The men who brave the fury of the North Atlantic to reap the harvest of the deep will make sport of their hazardous calling tomorrow when the Bluenose, out of Lunenburg, N. S.. queen of the Canadian fishing fleet, and the schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud, pride of the Gloucester fleet, meet off here to sail for the Sir Thomas Lipton international fish ermens challenge trophy.
 The cup will go to the schooner first to win two races over a tri- angular course of approximately 37 nautical miles, and with it the great CT part of a large purse.
 Series to be Resumed
 The series will make a resumption of the international fishermen's con- tests after a lapse of seven years. During that period Gloucester schooners have raced among them selves, and the fishermen of the mar itine provinces have done the same thing. When the series off Gloucester has been sailed the two schooners are scheduled to leave for Halifax N. S, and off that port to race for the old Dennis cup, emplematic of the sailing championship of the North Atlantic. The cup was last won by Bluenose, but owing to dis pute in a later contest the trophy's status has remained obscure during the past seven years.
 Capt. Walters Again Chosen
 Captain Angus Walters, who has sailed Bluenose to more than one victory is again at her wheel and Captain Ben Pine, veteran of many sailing contests, will skipper Glou- cesters hope in both series.
 Bluenose is considerably larger than the Thebaud, and carries an appreciably larger spread of sail, but she Is now more than nine years old,
