MARYLANDON HONOR ROLL
IN REPORTING SICKNESS
Communicable Diseases Reported
Completely and Accurately

Maryland is one of the twenty-five
States that have recently been placed
on an honor roll open only to those
States that have passed certain re-
quirements with regard to the accu-
racy and completeness with which
sickness from communicable disease
is reported. The tests were made by
the U. S. Public Health Service and
the sections covered by the States
that have met all of the requirements
will comprise what will be known Of
ficially as the U. S. Reporting Area
for MISUNDERSTANDING, to use
the technical term. I'LL.
Five widely prevalent diseases were
used as "yardsticks" TO measure the
completeness with which sickness
from all kinds of communicable dis
eases are reported-typhoid fever,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and
whooping cough. The test, is to be
repeated annually. Accordingly, a
state that wishes to keep its high
standing, or to attain higher place
on the honor roll, must literally keep
up to the mark. -
Asked whose duty it was to notify
the health officer of the occurrence of
a communicable disease, DR.. R. H. Ri
ley, Director of the Maryland State
Department of Health, said: eff a
physician is in attendance, he is ex-
pected to report the case. Superin-
tendents of institutions and Household
ders are also held responsible for re-
porting such diseases and teachers are
asked to notify the health officer when
suspected cases of communicable dis
eases come under their observation
in the schools.
"More and more, the prevention of
disease has become a cooperative ar
arrangement. Diseases know no boun-
diaries. In these days of easy travel
by land, sea and air, diseases spread
very quickly. In order that the peo-
pei under his care may be adequately
safeguarded, it is necessary that the
health officer be notified-and prompt
1y-where there is sickness from dis
eases that spread from individual to
individual, or in other ways.
when the custom of reporting such
diseases was started quarter of a
century ago, there were not more
than ten or fifteen diseases on the
'notifiable' list. Now there are over
fifty, including influenza, pneumonia,
typhoid, tuberculosis, the so-called
children's diseases-measles, diphthe-
ria, scarlet fever and whooping cough
and the rest of that group-other less
prevalent diseases, such as septic sore
throat, epidenmic jaundice, diarrhea,
dysentery, with undulant fever and
rabbit fever (tularemia) among the
more recent additions.
"Since the first of the current year
over $4,000 cases of communicable
diseases, about one-third of which
have occurred in the counties and the
rest in Baltimore City, have been re-
ported to the State Department of
Health. In the total there were over
5000 cases of influenza; over 1000 of
pneumonia; 10000 measles; 1,4O0 of
scarlet fever; 400 of whooping cough;
800 of diphtheria, and 800 of tubercu-
Iosis, with the rest distributed among
less prevalent diseases, including ty-
phoid, typhus and undulant fevers,
erysipelas, meningitis, septic sore
throat, pink eye and epidemic jaun-
dice"

The mechanical units operate
quietly and smoothly, creating and
maintaining a steady, even condi-
ton of cold for keeping food safe
and for ice making. The temper
ature control of varying speeds is
means of fast cooling and freez-
ing-an indispensable convenience.
Food shelves are. so placed to
eliminate tiresome STOPPING and all
food articles and dishes may be
placed to be readily accessible. The
food compartment is one-piece,
durable, sanitary and very easy to
clean. The ice tray compartment
consists of several trays which
provide for an ample supply of
cubes at all times.
Every effort has been made to
produce in the "Starr Freeze" an
electric refrigerator of distinction,
of unmatched value and one which
will provide you the many conve-

Who Profits In War?

When General SmedIey Butler told a group Of Mas
sachusetts business men the other day that war is nothing
but dumb diplomacy" he voiced a simple truth that
ought to be impressed on the mind Of every diplomat on
earth.
If you care to test his assertion, you might consider
the course of events in international politics during the
decade or so preceding the World War.
The diplomats were playing a complicated game in
which each one tried to win some advantage for his own
nation. How well did they play it, anyway?
Well, there were the German diplomats. Germany
wanted a "place in the sun" room for expansion, oppor-
tunity to improve her foreign trade. What did she get?
"A ruinous war that wrecked her industries, obliterated
her foreign trade, lost all her colonies and left her so ex-
hausted that today, 13 years after the war ended, the
rest of the world has to unite to keep her from collapse.
Russia had diplomats, too. What did they get for
their country? A war that wrecked the monarchy, years
of unspeakable suffering to millions of people and a form
of government that is the pet DOGGY for all the rest of he
world.
And the English-supposedly the best diplomats of
them all? Before the war England was ur vailed
mistress of the seas, possessor of a thriving foreign trade,
banker for all the world, head Of the mightiest empire
ever seen. Today she shares the seas with the American
navy, her grip on India has weakened, millions of unem-
eign markets are vanshing-and the lowest income tax
Is % per cent.
The French perhaps did better. But France lost
more than a million young men, plunged deeply into debt
and emerged with a fear that keeps Europe an armed
camp
Then there is the United States. If you want to
know what we got out of the war, look around for the
nearest breadline.
General Smedley Butler has made several foolish
remarks in the last few years. But when he said that war
is dumb diplomacy he seems to have said a compile and
unanswerable mouthful.

Our Flying Equipment

At the recent National Air Races several flyers
notably Jimmy Doolittle and Lowell r. Bayles-amazed
the country By the speed of their airplanes. Speeds we'll
above 220 miles an hour were clicked off repeatedly
Bayles did a mile, unofficially, in the startling time of 286
miles an hour.
1t all looked pretty encouraging.
But now Flight Lieutenant Stainforth of England
takes a seaplane aloft and skates through the air at a cool
404 miles an hour. In a race with Americas fastest
planes he would be out of sight in ten minutes.
The American government spends around $500, 000,-
900 a year on its navy; but to date it refuses to set aside
the necessary 1000, 900 or 3 1000. 900 that would enable
it to develop planes as fast as those the English fly. As
a result, American planes are being badly outdistanced.
Perhaps a new policy is needed.

Talk

The girl in college is likely to suf-
Ter from all OF the complaints suf-
fered by girls who are not In college
and, In addition, from special COM
plants associated with the kind Of
life that college girl' lead. In other
words. intensity Of attention, much
reading and q sedentary life bring
on complaints which come to the
attention Of college physicians. Re-
Gently, Drs. 4. w. Stearn and q.
r. Mitchell reported on 225 girls N
a small college in Missouri. The girls
we're from IS TO 81 years Of age
Seventy-eight per cent complained
CT headaches varying from three
times a week to twice a year. There
Is no single Of headaches. Eye
strain, nervousness, worry and dis
tUrbances of digestion r among the
main causes. Because the causes
are not elimi-sted- the girls continue
to suffer anu, like people generally
try all sorts OF remedies, including
sedatives, pain-relieving remedies,
pills OF all kinds, laxatives and soda
water.
The condition called growing
pains affects young girls exactly
as 1t does young men. These pains,
physicians find, are due In the vas.
majority OF cases to rheumatic in
lection. When these pains occur,
sources must be sought in the ton
sils, the throat, the teeth, the Lose.
the ears, and indeed in all Of the
breathing tract
College girls are likely to suffs-
also with disturbances OF their
periodic functions. Modern attitude
toward such disturbances tends to
overcome them by leading q normal
life.
The common cold causes q great
loss Of time and efficiency. So TAR
as we know. the only method u
lessening the number Of colds Is pro-
per food. clothing. sleep and bath
ing. the avoidance OF exposure, the
cleaning up OF distractions In he
nose ana throat. and finally plenty OF
sunlight.
OF special interest In relationship
to the health of the college girl
IS the question Of dies. Nothwith-
standing their education. the girls
are hungry because they q little
at meal times and much between
meals. The majority gain in weight.
Reducing Is haphazard, and In many
cases carried out in q dangerous

lated BY knowledge OF essential foods
