SEASONAL SICKNESS LESS
BUT TYPHOID INCREASES
Drought Conditions and Excess
sive Heat Given as Causes

In spite of the drought, the execs-
sive heat and generally unfavorable
summer, the records of the State De-
partment of Health show that there
were nearly 1900 fewer cases of COM
municable diseases reported during
June, July, August and September OF
this year than during the same
months of 1929. The total number OF
cases of communicable diseases re-
ported during the four months was
1885, in comparison with 1913 during
the corresponding season of 1929.
The decreases occurred principally
in the so-called children's diseases,
notably in whooping cough, of which
657 cases were reported in COMPARE
son with 1,419 during the correspond
ing months of 1929; scarlet fever, OF
which 1913 cases were reported in con-
trast with 615 during the summer OF
1929; mumps, of which 1872 cases were
reported during the current season,
and 815 during the summer of 1929;
and diphtheria, with 191 cases in COM
parison with 237 during the cores
ponding period of last year.
On the other hand, there was a
marked increase in typhoid fever, of
which nearly twice as many cases
were reported during June, July, Au-
guest and September of the current
year in comparison with the number
reported during the same period of
1929-561 cases this year and 285 dur
ing the summer of 1929. Of the SCI
cases, ATT were reported from the
counties and "a from Baltimore City.
Of the 285 reported during the same
period in 1929, 231 were reported
from the counties and 81 from Balti-
more City. The increase was largely
due to outbreaks in Wicomico county,
which were traced to carriers living
or working on dairy farms or. en-
ployed in connection with public dair-
les. Each of the outbreaks occurred
among persons using unpasteurized
milk from the diaries with which the
carriers were associated.
The typhoid outbreaks have consti-
tuted the principal blot on the rec
ords of communicable diseases since
the first of the year. During the nine
months ending on September 80, a
total of 25,077 cases of communica-
BILE diseases were reported in the
State, in comparison with $3.50 dur
ing the corresponding period of 1929
and 41,679 during the same period of
1928. Influenza was responsible for
the high total in 1929 and measles for
that of 1928.
Of the nine months during the cur
rent year, September had the best
record with 1851 cases of commune
cable diseases reported, and March
the least favorable, with 1924 cases
reported.

Ferguson and His Court Appeal


It is said there is a chance mat the supreme court
proper viii decide the mandamus case OF Thomas I.
Love on May 7. regular court day. as the tribunal
passed up its regular session day for the closing week
Of April. As for Jas. z. Ferguson his case has been
set for May g. and a special supreme court viii de-
eide his case.
II Is announced that the special court will not be
concerned with the political tests in the Ferguson
case, as the former governor has met those, but will
decide whether the amnesty act was constitutional
and, If it is valid, whether It's repeal deprived Fer
guson Of political rights restored while the law was
In effect.
AS for Love. he demands his name shall go on the
ballot for governor, although he is unable to qualify
under the state committee qualification test. He
bolted in 1926. He bolted in 1928. and he promises
to bolt again in 1880 and again in 1882 unless the
democratic nominees for governor and president are
given a sweeping endorsement by his conscience.
There is no pep in the campaign at the present
time. All the candidates, all the practical politicians,
and a vast majority Of the qualified voters are await
ing the action Of the supreme court in the Ferguson
and the Love cases.

a BarrelI

Ruth Hanna Mccormick tapped a barrel in her
campaign for a senatorial nomination in Illinois. II
was a barrel OF coin and out Of the barrel rolled
100000 silver dollars. Senator Charles S. Deneen
tapped a small keg. and out Of the keg rolled $4,000
silver dollars.
1t was a ten for cne dollar shot on the part Of
Ruth.
A quarter Of a million dollars Is a fancy price to pay
for a primary senatorial nomination. Ware Of Penn
sylvania was shut out for extravagant or lavish
use OF money in a primary campaign.
Political equality Is the order of the day. Sex has
nothing to do with the case. If William of Penn
sylvania was shut out for illegal use OF coin in cleo
tons why not a shut-out for Ruth Of Illinois?
