DEAF SCHOOL
WINS RENOWN

In a beautiful setting in Fred.
erick, Nd. 40 miles north of
washington, is located the
Maryland State School for the
Deaf, which has wen wide
recognition. for its splendid
work in all branches Of educa-
tional work and vocational
training of deaf children Of
preparatory and high-school
ages.
The school is supported en-
tirely by funds received from
the State and it's head is DR..
Ignatius Bjorlee, whose name
has attracted tentio n
throughout the country.
The faculty is composed of
a well-qualified group, seven
Of whose members attended
the convention of American
Instructors of the Deaf held
in Winnipeg, Canada, last
June. At this convention Mr..
Bjorlee was reelected secre-
tary of the convention, a po-
sition he has held for 10
years.
Vocational training receives
a large portion of the fime of
the student. Every boy is
taught a trade while the girls
are instructed in cooking, sew
ing and home-making. The
academic course takes in the
regular grades and those that
show ability and desire are
trained for Gallaudet College.
Speech and lip-reading are
taught to all the children,
and to those who can profit
thereby the oral method is
used exclusively throughout
the school course.
Rhythmic training was in
augurated at the Maryland
school in 1918, and in the
quality of work being done,
together with the universal
use to which this training is
put, this feature is unexc He'd
in any school throughout the
country.

CANNERIES REQUIRED TO
BE LICENSED

In accordance with the new law
requiring canneries of Maryland to
be licensed, and providing for the is
suance and revocation of such licens.
es by the State Board of Health, ap-
plications have been submitted by
many canneries. Inspectors have
been visiting number of the plants
and reporting changes which must
be made in order to secure license.
Attention has been given to those
canneries which were packing early
vegetables, such as peas and beans.
A number of these plants already
have been licensed.
Unless revoked for failure to COM
ply with the the State regulations,
the licenses run for year from the
date of issue. They must be renew
ed annually. After January l, 1882,
no new cannery shall be licensed
unless so located or construed that
the waste liquids, drainage and inedi-
BILE products can be readily removed
from the premises and immediate
surroundings, stored or destroyed,
without constituting menace or
Objectionable, unsanitary conition.

SUMMER HEALTH PRE-
CAUTIONS

Deaths from intestinal diseas IS
(diarrhea and enteritis, and dysent.
ery) occurring in children under two
years Of age are unnecessary and vel
in Maryland and in Cecil County
these diseases rank second highest
of the cause of deaths under one year
of age.
The germs causing dysentery live
in the human intestinal tract (bowels)
and are transmitted Carried to the
mouth of children by water, milk,
food, fingers, flies, contact with other
children having dysentery, and by
dysentery carriers.
You can prevent dysentery by
having safe and pure water; by buy.
ing milk that is safe and under super
vision of the Health Department, and
keeping the milk under proper re-
frigeration; by buying vegetables,
fruits, and other food that are under
inspection of the Health Department;
by preventing flies from reaching
the child's food; by having food
handled only by clean hands washed
thoroughly before handling food); by
keeping baby's and child's fingers
out of their mouth; by exercising
cleanliness of person and interior Of
home; by keeping your children
away from other children that have
diarrhea and avoid all carriers o
diarrhea and dysentery.
Never buy stale or partially decay
ed vegetables or fruits, and if any
store in Cecil County sells you spoil
ed food of any kind notify the Cecil
County Health Department.
Upon the first sign of diarrhea call
your family physician, do not delay,
delay is too great risk.

TO IDENTIFY WASHINGTON
HOUSES in MARYLAND

j. Alexis Shriver, of Bel Air, ap-
pointed one of the Maryland George
Washington Bi-Centennial Commits
sion, by Governor Albert C. Richie,
has been made chairman of the COM
mittee to identify every house in
Maryland used by General Wash
ington in any way, to consider the
possible purchase thereof, either by
some patriotic society or by the So
ciety for the Preservation of Mary
land Antiquities, similar to the one
which has done such good work in
Virginia.
This is a state wide committee,
and there are about fifty points at
which Washington is known to have
stopped in the State of Maryland.

BOOTLEG BUYER EQUALLY
GUILTY

The Federal Court of App eals has
ruled that bootlegger buying
liquor from another that is intende d
for resale, is equally guilty of cons
piracy. \
Asserting the decision was in no
way a reversal of the acquittal of
Alfred E. Norris, Philadelphia and
New York banker and clubman,
Judge J. Whitaker Thompson, an
nounced Thursday, in Philadelphia,
that conspiracy existed in such
cases when the buyer intended to
resell his purchase.
The case came up on an appeal OF
Joseph Engelsberg, Of Pittsburgh,
who was sentenced to six months in
Jail and 50, 500 fine in 1929 for buy ing
liquor from Charles Berger. Both
are alleged bootleggers and it was
contended they attempted to take adj
vantage of the Norris ruling that q
"buyer" is immune from arrest

The Peace Garden suggested by
the National Association of Garden
ers as memorial to the hundred
years and more of peace between
Canada and the United States is now
assuming definite form. A delega-
ton of horticulturists representing
the national association visited the
Niagara frontier some time in June
in search of suitable site. 1t is
probable that the garden will be
located on Grand Island, the large
area between Buffalo and Niagara
Falls, and it is planned to connect
this with the mainlands by two large
bridges. The Peace Garden will
cost several millions, but no more
beautiful memorial to friendship and
peace could be erected.

BUTTERMILK GOOD HOT
WEATHER DRINK

Buttermilk, to Judge from the ex-
perience of one Philadelphia concern,
is doing its share to quench the
thirst during the hot spell.
Containing as it does valuable
mineral matter, this product is grow
ing in popularity, not only as year
round health drink, but as distinct
thirst quencher.
That is proven by the steadily in
creasing business of the Stephens
Buttermilk Co., Inc, whose counter
in the Reading Terminal Market is
crowded daily with men and women
who stop in for drink. In addition,
many people regularly carry home
buttermilk.
+ One Of the first enterprises to open
"a stall in the market, the company's
business has increased steadily year
after year, until today it does thriv-
ing business not only in buttermilk
but in all kinds of dairy products.
F. Buttermilk, if kept cold and in
glass, will keep fresh for at least
three days, according to Joseph G.
Stephens, secretary-treasurer of the
firm and son of George w. Stephens,
the founder, who has been associated
with his father for Is years.
According to health and food ex-
perts, the value of buttermilk can
hardly be overestimated," says
Stephens. ''Not only is it nourish-
ing, making important contributions
to the fuel needed by the body, but it
may be classed among the regulating
foods. While buttermilk should not
in any sense be considered a cure
ALI still foods of this character are
needed by businessmen and women
who allow themselves little time to
consider food values and their mean
ings."

The keen interest which municipal.
tiles throughout the United States are
taking in planning for the great, nine
months celebration next year oil
the 20Oth Anniversary of the Birth
OF George Washington is shown
by the fact that nearly 5000 cities
and towns already have organized
their George Washington Bicenten-
NAL committees. These municipal
groups, says the United States
George Washington Bicentennial
Commission, form the backbone OF
the nationwide celebration honoring
the memory of the Father of His
Country in 1882.
The Federal George Washington
Bicentennial Commission has been
assisting the cities of the Nation
in perfecting their organizations an d
plans for the celebration. Every day
letters pour into the offices of the
Commission telling of the active in
terest being aroused in various COM
munities. Each one expresses de-
sire to cooperate with the plans
which have been made for this
greatest of all celebrations.

SCHOOL DENTAL CLINICS

Over 10000 chi ldren were examin-
ed and 4,194-nearly two fifths OF
the total were treated, at the school
dental clinics held last year, in the
counties of Maryland, under the di-
rection of the Division of Oral Hy-
giene of the State Department of
Health.
Only three counties had regular
dental clinics and few of the others
had occasional clinics previous to
1929. In 1880, during the first year
of organized activity, the number of
counties having such service increas-
ed to fifteen. Since the beginning
of the current year, Cecil County
has been added to the list, making a
total of sixteen, at present.

Last Memorial Day will be re.
membered, among other things, as
the occasion of the greatest highway
congestion in history.
The roads surrounding every great
city from New York to San Francisc
were iammed to the breaking point.
Speed of traffic was reduced to 8
mere crawl. Traffic officers found
themselves with an insoluble prob.
lem on their hands. Narrow roads,
inadequate roads, detours, were the
means of delaying hundreds of thous
ands of motorists and, of greater
importance, of causing multitude o.
accidents.
The moral is that we need more
and wider roads in all sections of the
country. Traffic COMPOSITIONS, ever
on normal days is increasingly
onerous.
Secondary roads, connecting main
arteries OF travel with rural, semi
isolated areas are become more i'm
portant and offer a perennial attrac
ton to the motorist. They take hin
away from the congestion that is the
bane of automobile travel, and they
likewise take him into new country
and show him new vistas.

TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS

Fruit stains on white napkins and
tablecloths can usually be removed
by pouring boiling hot water on
the stained spot after stretching the
material over a bowl. The tea
kettle should be held 3 or A feet
above the cloth. Don't use soap on
fruit stains, for the alkali in the
soap sets the stains, especially those
of red and purple fruits.
