!" Apology" Appealed to
Golf Director Humor

At golf club on the North Shore
two professionals are employed, one to
look after the course and one to teach.
The latter is veteran Scot Of indie
pendent character and fearless tongue.
Some time back, q writer In the .Bos-
ton Globe recalls, he said something
to a new member Of the board Of di-
rectors which seemed to that individ-
ual to be disrespectful He complained
at meeting Of the board and succeed
ed In having old Willie discharged.
Afterward the other directors felt
sorry. Finally the head professional
was told to inform him that If no
would appear before a meeting Of the
directors and make an explanation his
job would be restored to him.
When, in due course, Willie ap-
peared. the president addressed him
benevolently.
swell, Willie," he said, tell us
what you have to say for yourself
but make it short, for we're in q
hurry"
"Oh, I'll make 1t Short" said Willie
in a loud, clear voice. "What I've got
to say is. that you can all go to HIP
For q moment the directors sat in
stunned silence. Then, including the
one who had made the complaint, they
broke into choking laughter. The
president was first to regain his COM
posture.
"All right, Willie," he said, 1--WE &C
cept your apology. You can return b

PREDICTS CUTS IN UTILITY
RATES

Predicting that the nation is
in for a long period OF lower
price levels, John Henry I.e-
win, Peoples Counsel for the
Public Service Commission, as
serted the belief that the time
is approaching for a compre-
hensive lowering of public util-
ity rates in Maryland.
Nearly every utility in the
State is operating on rates fix
ed by pre-depression va.nG-
tions," Mr.. levin said. "rest-
imony in the recent valuation
case of the Potomac Edison
Company, electric power utility
for Western Maryland. as to
the lower price levels in the
cost of reproducing public uril-
tiles encouraged me to believe
that something may be done in
the near future to scale down
existing bases"

There was a tired business man, a
member Of that busy clan that shields
itself from prying eye behind that good
old alibf In conference.
He rested in his Office chair and
ducked a lot of toll and care, and
smoked cigars in sweet content and
thus his busy hours were spent
In conference.
Came anxious strangers by the score
to camp outside his Office door, and
angrily they went their way for he was
busy all the day
In conference.
And so he died and at the gate an
angel babe him stand and wait, and
said to him with frowning brow, "St.
Peters mighty busy now

DANGERS!

Calling attention to the dan
ger that turks in the use of toy
pistols, firecrackers, to1redoes
and other explosives, DR.. r. II.
Riley, Director Of the State De.
partment of Health, says ''have
the best time ever in celebrat-
ing independence Day, but
show your patriotism in some
other way than by shooting off
blank cartridges or sending Off
other explosives. There are
plenty of other ways of cele-
brating the national holiday.
They may not be as noisy, but
they are both safer and saner.
Hospitals and health Off
GERS dread Fourth of July acct
dents from fire works and other
explosives because of the dam
ger of lockjaw that is associat-
ed with them. Accidents of
this sort usually result in deep
seated wounds in which par
ticles of dirt are crushed into
the flesh along with the wad-
ding carrying the gunpcwder.
The germs that cause loCkjaw,
or tetanus to give the disease
it's scientific name, are practi-
cally always present in dirt,
street dirt and stable dirt, and
unless very prompt action is
taken, sometimes even when it
is taken, lockjaw may develop.
"A person who has an injury
of this sort, no matter how it is
caused, should get to a doctor
as quickly as possible to have
the wound treated and SO that
the doctor may administer tet-
anus antitoxin to prevent lock-
jaw from developing. The tet-
anus germs develop very quick
ly in a closed wound, so it is of
the utmost Importance that the
wound be thoroughly opened,
surgically cleansed and cared
for, and kept open. The pre-
ventive dose of tetanus antitox-
in should be administered i'm
mediately. Don't wait until
symptoms develop, by that
time, it may be too late.
"Tetanus antitoxin fer the
prevention of lockjaw, is sup
piled free of charge to physi-
clans in the counties, by the
State Department of Health,
through the County Health Or
ficers. The larger quantities
necessary for the treatment of
advanced cases are furnished
at cost"

Gross Stone of Virginia

The fairy cross" of the Virginia
Blue ridge, reddishIbrown rock for
nation taking the shape Of a perfect
cross, is said to be found only in Pat
rick county, Va. Travellers in the West
and Southwest may recall that these
curious pieces of stone are frequently
offered for sale as Mexican Holy
Crosses" at shops at or near Indian
reservations, sometimes for only a
nickel apiece. The United States geo.
logical survey, however, confirms the
claim that the "Staurolite." or "Cross
Stone," an iron-aluminum silicate, is
found only IN Virginia.

Upholsterer Word That
Has CHANGED i'm Meaning

We all understand the "upholsterer"
to refer to the person who prepares
covers for furniture and who is also
an expert at stufing 1t. But this mean
ing is a long leap from its early signi-
fcance, to which, however, it bears
q fgurative relationship.
Originally, the holster" was hid
ing place or covering, as In the hol-
ster used for pistol. for instance.
And It was from this connection tht
the words holster and "holstering'
gradually came to be employed to de-
scribe the process Of measuring fur
niture for covers, preparing the COW
ers, stuffing the furniture and there
fore hiding it so to speak, that is, hid
ing its real self.
Add to this the fact that the man
who stuffed and covered the furniture
frequently held 1t "up" for sale, and
we have logical evolution Of the mod
ern word ''upholsterer" in the sense in
which 1t is used today.-Kansas City
Times.

MD. FARMERS FOR STATE
INCOME TAX

A State income tax and a
sales tax on Injuries are rec
commended as means Of reliev-
ing present excessive" taxa
ton Of Maryland farms in a re-
port adopted by the joint com-
mittee of the Maryland State
Grange and the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation.
The report, which contains
nine recommendations, ard is
intended as a start toward the
formulation of an intelligent
program to be laid before the
next session of the General AS
sembly, has been submitted to
DR.. Jacob Hollander, chairman
of Governor Ritchie's Mary
land Tax Survey Commission.
Relief is asked in particular
from a portion of the burden OF
taxation for roads and schools
now laid on the counties.
These two items, Miles H.
Fairbank, secretary-treasurer
of the Farm Bureau, said in
discussing the report, form ap-
proximately half Of the coun-
ties budget, and must be shift :
ed to some other taxable basis
if there is to be any appreciate
tightening of the levy on farm
real estate.
The report asks that farm
land and buildings be assessed
as a unit; that classification
and assessment of woodland be
revised; that the inheritance
tax be extended to include the
taxing of property transfers TO
members of the immediate
family, and that the transfer of
property by gift be taxed in
the same manner.
A uniform system of collect
ing taxes for all counties is
recommended in the interest of
economy and convenience.
