"WhOOpee" Film Version of Ziegfeld
Stage Hit

AS the first screen musical comedy
to which Florenz Ziegfeld gave his
own personal supervision and skill
stagecraft, "Whoopee," which will be
shown at the Maryland Theatre Fri
day and Saturday, according to the
critics, does full justice to the repu-
tation and talents of the famous i'm
presario. "Whoopee" is very much
a continuation of Eddie Cantor's stage
success that ran for two years at the
New Amsterdam Theatre, New York,
Transcribed bodily the films, with its
huge spectacles magnifed in size and
beauty with the magic Technicolor to
give it reality. Samuel Goldwyn, who
produced the picture, claims that it is
the first perfect all-color cinema ex-
travaganza.
Yet despite it's mammoth size the
picture is still the same intimate COM
edy that, as "The Nervous Wreck"
was one of the most amusing plays
ever written. Ziegfeld managed to re-
tain the uproarious humor of the orig
inal story when he set it on the great
stage of the New Amsterdam, with
music and song and hundreds of beau
tiful girls.
Eddie Cantor remains the protagon-
list of the comedy. "Whoopee" on the
stage gave him success that sur
passed even the phenomenal record of

FEWER DEATHS AND MORE
BIRTHS IN STATE IN 1880
Total Number Cases of Com
municable Diseases Decreases

! The year 1880, went down in his
tory with a more favorable health
record than some of its predecessors.
A report prepared BY the State De-
partment of Health shows that fewer
deaths and more births were repor-
ted than in 1929, and that, in spite Of
a marked increase in typhoid fever,
the total number of cases of COM
municable diseases reported was less
than for any year since 1917.
There were 31,O63 births reported
in the State in 1880, in comparison
with 3O,S6S in 1929; 21,536 deaths in
comparison with 21,920, and 32,354
cases of communicable diseases in
comparison with 60,722 in 1929. The
total cases of communicable diseases
reported in 1917 was 28,149. During
the years between, the total ranged
from 34,387 in 1927 to 1861 in 1918,
when the high total was due to the in
fuenza epidemic of that year.
Of the 21,536 deaths reported in
the State last year, 10,319 occurred
in the counties and 11,217 in Balti-
more City. Nearly half of the deaths
"a total of 10,345- were due to five
CONSCIOUSNESS of the heart, of the
kidneys, cancer, cerebral hemorrhage,
and diabetes-which are usually spok-
en- of as the diseases of middle age.
An analysis of the 1879 deaths in
the counties by DR.. John Collins,
Chief of the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics of the State Department of
Health, shows that heart disease with
1000 deaths was the Captain of the
men of DEATH; that second in COM
mand were diseases of the kidneys
with 1,248 deaths; that cerebral hem
orrhage was third with 906 deaths;
and that tuberculosis, which not many
years ago had first place, was fourth
with 800 deaths; cancer with 751
deaths was fifth, and pneumonia
with 692 deaths was sixth.
Of the 1879 deaths in the counties,
6,547, or nearly two-thirds, occurred
among men and women from forty
five to sixty-four years and over;
2,549, or one-fourth was divided be-
tween two age groups-1,263 in that
from twenty-five to forty-four years
old and 1886 occurred among babies
under a year old. There were 327
deaths among children from one to
five years old, and 252-the smallest
number in any age group-among
children from five to fourteen.

Homemakers' Column
BY Miss ELSIE M. BENTHIEN,
Home Demonstration Agent

How Do You Prune Your Shrubs?
w. R. Ballard, Specialist in Land
scape Gardening, University of Mary
land, says:
Home owners should understand the
care of shrubbery and since annual
pruning is relatively the most impor-
tant item, it should be given special
attention. While the best time to
prune most Towering shrubs is after
the blooming period, if skillfully done,
most gardeners who are not expert
horticulturists will find February or
early March a safer time for this
operation.
Much can be done with ordinary
hand pruning shears. The tendency,
however, with this tool, is to snipp off
the small twigs, while removing the
larger and older wood is what is real
ly needed. To do this easily and
effectively a large pair of two-hand
shears with curved blades and handles
21s feet long is needed. This tool is
powerful enough to cut out the large
old stems. If this tool is not avail
able, a pruning saw should be used to
supplement the small hand shears.
In order to understand clearly how
a shrub should be pruned, it should be
remembered that a healthy, vigorous
shrub keeps throwing up new shoots
from the base. If these shoots are
allowed to accumulate, there comes
time when there is no more room for
new shoots. Flower buds are usually
formed near the tops of the strong,
vigorous new shoots and the common
practice of shipping back the top
growth and allowing the base to be-
come choked with old wood, results
in the minimum of flowers and foliage
and a maximum of old, "leggy" and
unattractive wood.
If, on the other hand, a fifth to a
third of the oldest stems are cut right
down to the base each year, the stool
will be opened up so that fresh, vigor-
GUS shoots will continually replace
them. In this way the entire plant
remains indefinitely clean and thrifty
and will produce attractive sprays Of
flowers and foliage. This method will
produce lower, smaller bushes than
those resulting from shipping back
the top growth and at the same time
preserves the graceful, characteristic
habit of growth of the individual
shrub.
A few shrubs will need special
treatment. With lilacs it will be a
decided advantage to go over the
bushes just after blooming to cut out
the faded flower sprays.
Late summer boomers such as the
hydrangea, butterfly bush, Grape myr-
tie, and althea, may be cut back
severely from the top in addition to
some thinning out at the base. This
gives more vigorous branching and a
greater show of bloom, since the flow
ers are produced on the new wood.

and CT. HUMPHREYS, with the DISPOSE
lions to render service to my country
in obedience to its call, but with less
hope of answering its expectations"
On his journey from Alexandria to
New York, Washington was every
where received with the greatest DEM
onstrations of affection by all classes
of his fellow citizens, which were man.
ifested by the most fiattering marks
of heartfelt respect and by addresses
which evinced the unlimited conf
dence reposed in his virtues and his
ability.
At Philadelphia he was received
with unusual splendor. In imitation
of the triumphal exhibitions Of An
cient Rome, an arch was erected at
the bridge over the Schuykill River
and on each side was placed laurel
shrubbery. AS Washington passed
under the arch a civic crown was let
down upon him. The fields and ave-
nues were crowded with people, thru
which he was conducted ito the city
by body of leading citizens. At
night the town was illuminated.
The next day, at Trenton, he was
welcomed in a manner as new as it
was pleasing. In additions to the
usual discharge of cannon and the
demonstrations of respect and at
tachment by military CORPS and by
private persons of distinction, the
women of the city arranged tribute
indicative of gratitude for their de-
liverance, twelve years before, from
formidable enemy. On bridge over
the creek which passes through the
town was a triumphal arch, decorated
with laurel and flowers and supported
by thirteen pillars. On the front OF
this arch was inscribed in large gilt
letters, December 26, 1776," and be-
meath, formed in flowers, "The de-
fender of the mothers will be the pro-
tector of the daughters"
AS Washington passed under the
arch he was met by party of ma
irons leading their daughters, dressed
in white, who carried baskets of flow
ers in their hands, and sang an ode
composed for the occasion. At New
Brunswick, he was joined by the Gov
ernor of New Jersey, who accompan-
led him to Elizabethtown Point. A
committee of Congress received him
on the road and conducted him with
military parade to the Point, where
he embarked for New York in an
elegant thirteen-oar barge, prepared
for the purpose by the citizens of
New York, and manned by thirteen
pilots.
"The display of boats" said Wash
linton, in his private journal, (which
was attended and joined on this occa-
sion, with some vocal and others with
instrumental music on board, the dec
orations of the ships, the roar of the
cannon and the loud acclamations of
the people, which rent the sky as I
passed along the wharves, filled my
mind with sensations as painful (con-
templating the reverse of this scene,
which may be the case after all my
labors to do good) as they were pleas
ing"
At the stairs of Murray's Wharf,
which had been prepared and decorat-
ed for the purpose, he was received
by the Governor of New York and
was conducted, with military honors,
through an immense concourse of peo-
pie, to the apartments prepared for
him.
Washington arrived in New York
on April % and on the Both the Con-
stitutional Government Of the United

 Calling his state unemployment commission together, the governor announced a $10,0e0,000 emergen- cy winter highway program pro- viding employment for 30,000 men.
 Later he called into conferene more than 100 private. road con- tractors, to whom contracts will be let, and informed them that a condition of their bids must be that 75s per cent of. their employees will be selected from welfare com mittees' lists in the communities where the highway work is done.
 Tn addition. the Contractors were informed that. a minimum wage of 35 cents per hour must be paid and that the men must be worked in. shifts to provide a maximum The governor was promised full cooperation.
 The work will not be done by the state highway department. since. the governor said. the state feels that the "contractors also are en- titled to a modest profit to carry them over serious economic condi- tions."
 Governor Brucker admitted to the road builders that evasion of the provisions of their contracts would be comparatively easy. but he pleaded for their assistance and at the same time warned that fail- ure to receive it would be remem- bered by the state in awarding fu- ture road contracts.
