special OlSpAlcn 70 Inc star.
BALTIMORE, January 15.-Declaring
that "billboards on the open road are
not only a blot on the landscape, but
constitute decided hazard to the safety
State chairman of the Billboard Re-
striction Committee OF. the Federated
Garden Clubs, Monday addressed a
meeting of the State Florists Associa-
ton. Her subject was "Beautifying the
Highways of Maryland"
Mrs. McKeon asserted that many
fatal accidents are caused by motorists
taking their eyes from the road in order
to glance at particularly vivid adver-
tisement. ''If billboard does not at
tract attention it fails in its purpose, -
she said, land if it does attract atten-
ton IL is certainly a danger to traffic.
THE billboard owners use the State
highways for advertising purposes and
pay no tax for that privilege" she said
''Just about the time that Maryland gets
a road in decent shape along comes
some outdoor advertising man and takes
the 10y out of life. Although many large
advertising companies say that their
signs are beautiful, their beauty is like
that of many children-they may look
good to their mother, but they look
ugly to any one else"
"Our final objective" she continued
SIS to establish a State department OF
landscaping, such as Connecticut al
ready has. The department In that
State has done some wonderful work
planting roses, vines and trees along
new roads which originally were un-
slightly"
Mrs. McKeon stated that England
and France had already taken steps
against what she called the billboard
menace" She declared that in France
the tax on 45-foot sign would amount
to about $1l9.
1.-The time Is coming" she said, In
conclusion, when tourists will no longer
be forced to gaze at a panorama OF
cheese, tires, gasoline, etc, glorifled on
some huge advertising sign"

TAKE CARE in SKINNING
WILD RABBITS THIS YEAR
Advice To Hunters Given Out by
State Department of Health

Reminding hunters, market men,
housewives and others who handle
game, as the hunting season opens, of
the danger of contracting tularemia,
or rabbit fever, through contact with
infected animals, DR.. R. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, advises sportsmen and food
handlers to take special precautions
in skinning rabbits and preparing the
meat for the table.
He said: rabbit fever, or, to use
the medical name, tularemia, is an in
fectious disease to which rabbits and
other small animals are susceptible
and which human beings contract thru
handling the animals. The disease
spreads from animal to animal thru
the bite of infected ticks. 1t may also
be spread by the bite of a certain
species of fly. Human beings contract
the disease in two ways, either thur
the infected animals or thru the bite
of infected ticks. AS the insects con-
tinue to carry the infection over long
periods, care should be taken at all
seasons to avoid being bitten by them.
"The presence of the disease in an
imals that are being skinned or are
exposed for sale can be detected by a
characteristic appearance of the liver
and spleen which are dotted with tiny
white or yellowish spots. The infec-
ton may be picked up by persons who
handle the game through scratch
or break in the skin, or it may be car
ried into the eyes or nose in rubbing
the hands over the face, after they
have been in contact with the dis
eased animals.
"A disease that corresponds closely
to what we now call tularemia, or
rabbit fever, has been known to hun
tiers and market men for long time,
but it has only been comparatively re-
Gently that it's source has been studied
and it's method of transmission dis
covered. The disease has often been
mistaken for typhoid fever, which it
may resemble at the start. Sometimes
the attack begins with a severe chill
and with other symptoms that resem-
BILE grippe. In many cases an ulcer
develops where the infection has en-
tered the body and the nearby glands
become greatly enlarged.
"The disease requires prompt med
ical treatment and the family physi-
clan should be called for those who de-
velop symptoms that suggest rabbit
fever. The doctors diagnosis may be
confirmed by blood tests and the labo-
ratory of the State Department of
Health is prepared to make the nee
essary tests and will do so at the re-
quest of the attending physician OF
the county health officer.
"Tularemia was made reportable in
Maryland in 1928 and since then 5e
cases-3O in Baltimore City and rs
in the counties-have been reported
to the State Department of Health
There have been six deaths.
"Tularemia occurs principally in
wild rabbits. 1t has been found in
rabbits raised in rabbitries. Thorough
cooking of the rabbit renders it harm
less"
