Barren Cupboards and Empty Bread Boxes Sur- pass Even the Mythical Tale of "Old Mother Hub= bard"- Than 225,- 900 Residents Will Be Hungry Before Planting Season
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-06-26

MIR. Goldsborough informed Gen
eral Hines that there were about 275
veterans in Maryland who need hos
pitalizsiion. Many of them, he said,
were residents of the Eastern Shore.
General Hines assured the Maryland
Representative that hearing would
be held before any action was taken
by the board.
The Maryland delegation and Off
Gals of the American Legion pre-
viously had formally requested Gen.
eral Hines to grant a hearing on
the proposal. Senator Phillips Lee
Goldsborugh early last week invited
his colleagues to join in a conference
with General Hines last Saturday, at
which arguments were presented
for veterans hospital in Baltimore,
but this conference was postponed
indefinitely
At conference with General
Hines several weeks ago, Represen-
tativer j. Charles Linthicum made
strong representations for additional
hospital facilities for Maryland veter-
ans, and stated that Baltimore was
the most logical location for hospit-
al with facilities for the treatment of
cancer. General Hines at that time
assured him that Maryland would be
given an opportunity to be heard by
the board at some future date.

SENSIBLE CAR SPEEDS
URGED

Motorists are being urged to inau-
gurate an era of sensible driving"
by the Automobile Association of
America.
1t is pointed out that scientific re-
serch has determined the wasteful-
ness of excessive speeds both in
gasoline consumption and wear on
tires and motor mechanism. At 70
miles an hour more than twice as
much gasoline is used in going
the same distance as would be
required at a speed of 20 miles an
hour. At a speed of 40 miles an
hour the saving approximates three
to five miles to the gallon over the
results at the 70 miles speed.
It also emphasized that the saving
in time is not so great as motorists
appear to think, when they drive
their cars at Highland, incidentally,
unlawful speed. A 50-mile rate
will enable the motorist to reach
his destination only a few minutes
earlier than if he had driven at 40
miles per hour. For example: A
tenmile trip can be covered in ten
minutes by a car travelling 60 miles an
hour; in IL ~ minutes at so miles;
Is minutes at As miles per hour; II
IL minutes at the legal 40-mile rate.
It is rarely that occasion demands
excessive speed.
It should only be used in emergen-
cies where every minute counts. AS
a matter of everyday driving, it is
as unnecessary as it is dangerous.
Sensible, sane-driving IL the need OF
the hour. Reckless misuse of the
highways cannot be tolerated.

VETERANS. HOSPITAL IN
MARYLAND

Frank I. Hains, director of veterans
affairs, told Representative T. Alan

er urged the construction of gener-
al veterans hospital in MARYLAND
out of the so, 100000 made available
at the last session of Congress for

REFORESTATION

During the past ten years due to
the agricultural depression many
thousands of acres of land have been
abandoned for field crops and are now
a liability so far as contributing to the
farm income is concerned. 1t is
land that will grow good tree crops
if planted with suitable species, and,
for much of it, this is the only prac-
ticable use.
The State Forest Nursery is meet
ing real need in furnishing at very
low cost trees for reclaimiug this
waste land and putting it in shape to
grow a profitable crop.
There is a increasing interest in
forest planting, as attested by the
greater demand for planting stock.
During the past spring 498, 400 trees
for forest planting were distributed
from the Forest Nursery to nearly
200 applicants. Most of the paintings
were of small acreage but with the
large number of paintings in many
different parts Of the State they con-
stitute demonstrations of practical
value which will be a decided stimu-
lus in planting up waste lands.
The half million trees distributed
this spring were without special
solicitation and represent normal
increase in forest planting. The
capacity of the nursery is being
gradually enlarged to take care OF
the increase demand which in five
years is expected to be two million
trees annually. Only standard spe-
cies are grown but the variety is suf-
ficient to satisfy any particular con-
dition or requirement of the plant
ing site and the needs of the land
owner. Ninety-five percent of the
trees are evergreens, the pines
largely predominating. Loblolly pine
is the leading species for forest
planting in the Eastern Shore Section
and in Southern Maryland, while red
pine and white pine are best adopted
for Central and Western Maryland.
OF the hardwoods or deciduous
species, black locust and tulip poplar
are the only two grown in quantities
at the Nursery.

AVOID FOURTH OF JULY
ACCIDENTS

In your program for the Fourth of
July, include picnics and pageants;
flag raisings; band concerts and ball
games; fried chicken and ice cream;
peanuts and lemonade; athletic con-
tests and sports and good time gen.
orally, but cut out the toy pistol with
its blank cartridges and all other
dangerous fireworks, is the advice
of DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health to indi-
viduals planning independence Day
celebrations.
Each season brings its own prob
lens of health and of safety, and to
nearly all health officers" DR.. Riley
said, 'the Fourth of July is associat-
ed with injuries from fireworks, and
the danger of tetanus or lockiaw,
to use the more familiar name for it,
which is always connected with such
accidents. This years crop of acct
dents from toy pistols, torpedoes and
other fireworks is not waiting for
the Fourth of July. The papers are
already carrying reports of such ac-
cidents. There are plenty of ways
OF celebrating Independence Day
without firing off blank cartridges or
indulging in other dangerous fire
works. Try something that is safer
and saner.
There is always danger of lock-
jaw from injuries that are caused by
a germ that flourishes in closed
places out Of reach of the air and
that develops in injuries into which
the dirt has been forced and seal
ed in. Wounds from firecrackers,
blank cartridges and similar explo-
sives are of this sort. Gun wadding
or other material that has been fore
ed into the flesh usually carries the
germs of tetanus with it.
"Other injuries besides those from
fireworks carry the some danger, as
the germs of tetanus are widely scat
tered. They are particularly found in
street dirt, in stable dirt and in the
dirt that is blown around in the dust.
The size Of the wound makes no diff
ference. A mere puncture by a dirty
nail or by splinters may forced the
infection material into the flesh.
Automobile accidents or other acct
dents that cause dirt to be crushed
into a wound have the same posi-
bilities of danger.
"A person who has an injury of
this sort-no matter how it is caused
should get to doctor as quickly
as possible so that the wound may
be opened, surgically cleansed and
properly treated, and also in order
that the doctor may administer
tetanus antitoxin to prevent lockiaw
from developing. The preventive
dose of tetanus antitoxin should be
administered Immediately. It is not
safe to wait until symptoms of lock-
Jaw develop-by that time it may be
too late.
"Tetanus antitoxin for the preven-
ton of lockjaw-whether from
Fourth of July accidents or from
other injuries-is supplied free of
charge to physicians in the counties,
by the State Department of Health,
through the county health officers.
The larger quantities necessary for
the treatment of advanced cases are
furnished at cost.
In Baltimore City tetanus antitoxin
Tor the prevention of lockjaw is sup
Piled free of charge to all but COM
pensation cases.

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile.

Have you heard that spring
fashions will be dramatic? This
is true, but the statement needs
Interpretation. There are two
ways that drama influences
clothes for spring. The first
ie that they give women ar In
teresting look. They are 1emlnl-
scent of other ages and they
are also extremely individual.
The second way they are dra-
matte is that they have varla-
tions in their fastenings, in
trimmings and in the way they
are planned that give a woman
a chance to do different things
with them. For instance, jack
cts may be worn or left OIL.
Scarfs may be tied il several
different ways. There ale fash
ions of wearing either scarts
or jackets so that the woman
may get in as much acton as
a screen star by mercy taking
off her jacket. Then the neck
line may often be worn high or
low so that she may change
her appearance entirely by
merely buttoning up a button.
The frock sketched illustrates
this last point. 1t is a smart
Vionnet copy with clever bias
sleeves cut in one with the
bodice. 1t is of a spongy
woolen in blue or light navy
that Vionnet uses, or in a stun
ming rusty red that is called
''Bittersweet." This frock is,
moderately priced. ,..,....
