no apparent clue as to the identity of
the kidnapers or the whereabouts of
the infant. It has been reported that
$50, GOO ransom has been demanded

upon delivery Of the child.
The baby was spirited away in a
dark green Chrysler sedan registered
in the name of Herbert W. Allen, of
Margate, N. j., and reported to have
been stolen at Atlantic City.
The car contained two men who
stopped at least two persons prior to
the kidnapping and asked to be directed
to the isolated Lindbergh home.
Within an hour after Colonel Lind
bergh telephoned the first alarm police
squad cars blocked every Jersey road
for miles.
The child, clad in blue sleeping
robe, was put to bed at the usual hour,
7:3O Tuesday night. At about ten
o'clock someone peered into the nur-
sery. The crib was empty.

Local Organization Will Have
Charge of Third Annual Con-
test for Town Identification

That the Oakland Civic Club would
again sponsor the annual Yard and
Garden Contest was decided at the

ment made in their yards during the
summer months, Miss Lottie Loar,
president Of the club, stated. No COM

The contest is being continued for
the third year in the hope that Oak

critics by planting flowers and shrub
berry and cleaning up their premises.
To make Oakland more attractive
is the ultimate goal of the club. "Much
good has been accomplished in the
past two years." Miss Loar stated,
"and it is hoped that the people will
respond as heartily to this years
Identification program"
The announcement of the contest is
being made earlier this year so that
the cleanup will be made in plenty of
time to plant. Judges will be selected
who will visit three times the places
to be improved-once before planting,
once during the season and once at the
end of the growing season. Entrants
in the contest will be personally So
licited, the same as last year. Each
year there have been over 200 en-
trants.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
GIVES MONTHLY REPORT
Scarlet Fever Cases at Grants
vile Investigated

The County Health Officer, DR.. Geo.
E. Clarke, reports the following dis
eases for the month of February:
Scarlet fever, II; tuberculosis, 3; i'm
petigo, II; gonorrhoea, 9; syphilis, a;
measles, 8; typhoid fever, 2; pneumo-
MIA, 2; whooping cough, 6; undulant
fever, 26 chicken pox, 5; influenza,
6; scabies, 8.
All of the scarlet fever cases re-
ported have been around Grantsville.
They are probably an extension OF
the epidemic from Allegany county.
Scarlet fever is spread by direct con-
tact with. children who are already
affected. The quarantine period is q
days for the case and seven additional
days for each contact in the family
1t is vitality important that all chill
dren with even the slightest sore
throat should be examined to deter
mine whether or not those children
are mild cases or beginning cases. In
order to properly examine all children
who have been exposed to this disease,
the health officer or the nurse is max
ing daily inspection in the Grants
vile school. All children who look
suspicious are excluded from school
for seven days and visited by the
nurse. The absentees of each day are
also visited to determine whether or
not they have scarlet fever. Parents
should not become alarmed, but should
watch their children carefully for sore
throat, fever, headache and rash on
the chest. Call your family physician
at the first sign of illness.
