County Health Department
Makes Appeals For Buying
of Xmas Red Cross Seals

DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, makes the following appeal for
the buying of Christmas seals in
Montgomery County:
The tuberculosis clinics in Mont
gomery County are filling a great
need and are proving to be one of the
most effective measures in the control
of tuberculosis. 1t is well known that
the chance of getting well from tu-
berculosis depends largely upon how
early the disease is recognized. Recog-
milton of early cases is quite difficult
and the physicians of the county real
izing this now depend largely upon
the consultation service of the clinic
to assist them in diagnosing these
early cases. The clinic is also much
used for the examination of children
and adults who have been exposed to
tuberculosis and who are likely to be
also suffering with the disease in mild
form. As evidence of the increasing
value of the tuberculosis clinics, a
steady increase in persons attending
the clinic has been occurring. At the
present time it is impossible to ex-
anime all the patients without increas-
ing the number of clinics. This month
for the first time two clinics have
been held in one month. Even with
these two clinics all the patients ap-
plying for examination can not be tax
en- care of and some are being asked
to wait until December.
The other activity of the Tubercu-
losis Association helping the anti
tuberculosis program of Montgomery
County is the children's preventorium
at Claiborne. This year two children
went to the preventorium from Mont
gomery County. The good food, out
door play, including swimming in the
Chesapeake Bay, so effectively built
up these children that it was hard to
believe that the children who return
ed at the end of their stay were the
same as those who had been sent. The
improvement in the children was not
a matter of increase in weight. The
improved color, improved expression
and general appearances of vigor
showed that the children were given
an ideal upbuilding. We can only wish
that two hundred children could have
had this privilege instead of two.

Sanitary
Commission Hoping
To Get New System
Patuxent River Cut-Off AT
Smells Bridge, Near Ashton,
Involved In Plan

Montgomery County's water supply
system is expected to be enlarged
within the next few months, it ap-
pears, with the announcement that the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission will offer for sales on Deem
Der 5 s250,000 bond issue, author
lied at the 1927 session of the Mary
land Legislature.
The project will involve a new
pumping station at Burnt Mills and
the installation of a small pumping
station and Emile pipeline somewhere
near SHELLS bridge, on the Patuxent
river below Ashton. This cutoff will
divert water from that river to the
Northwest Branch watershed, assur-
ing more abundant supply of water
in time of drought.
Although it was at first estimated
that the proposed plant at Burnt Mills
and Patuxent River cutoff would cost
about $27O,O0O, the lower cost of labor
and materials leads officials of the
commission to believe they can COM
plete the project for $250,OO0, ]. Der
by Bowman, secretary said, this week.
When completed the plant will have
normal capacity of 100000 gal
Ions a day, with maximum capacity
of 100000 a day, according to
present plans. The plant now in use
can pump about 100000 gallons a
day, but consumption for 1892 aver
ages about 100000 a day, according
to Robert B. Morse, chief engineer.

Criminal Cases Up
Before Local Court
At November Term
Judges Charles w. Woodward
And Arthur d. Willard Occupy
Bench AS Session Proceeds

The trial of criminal cases in the
Montgomery County Circuit Court be-
gan Monday with the disposition of a
number of minor cases, particularly
thefts and hold-ups. Judges Charles
w. Woodward and Arthur d. Willard
occupied the bench. 1t was necessary
for the latter, who comes here from
Frederick, to hear a number of cases
because the preliminary hearings were
held before Judge Woodward in the
police court.
Daniel Leatherman, of Frederick
and Lawson Combs, of Washington,
both pleaded guilty to having held up
several couples at the point of gun
in the suburban section of the county.
They were sentenced to serve three
years and 6 months each. The youths
were captured through some clever
work on the part of Officers Frank
Soper and Webb Hersperger.
William Brown colored, charged
with the theft of number of articles
from the Unity store, pleaded guilty
and received sentence of two years
and 6 months. IN an effort to break
up chicken stealing in the county, a
number of severe sentences were
meted out to several chicken thieves,
their sentences ranging from 10
months to two years.

Heights, Frederick County. 1t is de-
scribed almost invariably as a gigan-
tic bird, throwing out tantacles like
some monster squid out of water
changing his color, chameleon-like
living entirely on colored men, but
fatal to white persons if angered OF
cornered.
The Snallygaster was last reported
in this section of the State way back
in 1909. AS scientists VINO have made
a study of this rare creature report,
the eggs Of the monster require about
20 years to hatch. From this bit of
information, it is believed that the
present beast is the progeny of that
winged bovalopus of % years ago.
That the beast haunts this section of
the country is laid to the fact that it
is lured by the scent of the snooze-
berry, which is found only in the
foothills of the Blue Ridge, mainly in
the Catoctin range and its subsidi-
aries.
Why the Snallygaster prefers, even
insists upon the negro as food, is not
clearly known. Some say that he ap-
pears after every election when the
result shows that the colored voter
cast his ballot for a Democrat. 9th
ers say that is just C. o. P. fairy
tale and that the creature was origin
ally an inhabitant of Liberia and the
West hides and therefore has always
been accustomed to the same susten-
ance.
All ten of the hunters who caught a
glimpse of the Snallygaster Sunday
are well-known teetotalers and are
generally regarded as truthful men.

Sleeping SnaIIygasfer Shores SereneIy
In Sugar Loaf Sunday Seven Shares SET
Winged BOvaOpus Frghtens Ten, AS Hunters Spy Him
In His Den; Open Season On Monster Called And
Countryside Is Appaled-Last Seen % Years
Ago, Lives On COIOred Men, Don't You Know

1t has been % years since the
dreaded winged monster, the "Snally-
CASTER" has appeared in the Western
section of Maryland. With spread
of at least 80 feet, reaching out his
tentacles like some prehistoric inhab.
liant of the Miocene age, the Snally-
caster, or winged Vovalopus, has been
seen by two score residents of Wash
nigton, Frederick, and Upper Mont
gomery counties within the past two
weeks. Sunday the beast was followed
as he few at a 60-mile-a-minute rate
over Dickerson by ten intrepid citizens
armed with rifles, pistols, shotguns,
and oaths. One man carried bag fill
ed with the seed of the powerful but
rare "snoozeberry," said to be the
most eficacious lure for the snally-
CASTER. But in vain.
Eleven minutes and eleven seconds
after eleven Sunday morning, the ten
hunters located the monster snoring
in cave on top of the Sugar Loaf
mountain. But he was TOO far back in
his lair to approach without danger.
The hunters felt the cold, clammy
fingers of fear as they listened to the
sonorous sounds issuing from the
rocks. Commonsense dictated a re-
treat. They left the beast, forgetting
the magical snoozeberries and vieingI
with one another as they back-tracked
to Dickerson. Giving out a warning
to the colored residents of the town.,
they withdrew to their several homes.
The beast has been seen by num-

North Carolina highway system pro-
vides the best solution to the tax
problem as it affects the roads. These
plans are both working fine, it is re-
ported and affords practical example

Mr.. Shaw said that taxes will be
reduced in Montgomery County but
that first some practical, workable
plan must be discovered whereby
proper cuts can be made. "The tax
burden is hard one to many of the
farmers and other citizens of the
county. But we cannot rush haphazard
into the question and simply reduce
here and slash there without duly re-
garding all angles of the problem"
The county tax bill reads that out
of the county tax rate of $1.3O, rs
cents is levied for schools. Of this
amount about 55 cents is to
be applied to school operating costs
with the remaining 20 cents applied
to payment of school bond indebted.
ness. The latter item is handled by the
County Treasurer's office and is re.
garded as wholly separte from the
actual cost of the county school
system.
The Montgomery County school
system has been operated entirely
without the aid of the State equaliza.
ton fund, which, under the law, may
be paid out to help the counties pro.
vided they cannot themselves operate
the schools with minimum levy Of
81 cents for school purposes. 1t is also
shown, officials declare, that a reduc.
ton Of about Is per cent in the tax
rate for Montgomery County might
be accomplished if the State equaliz.
alton rate is reduced to a minimum
of 40 cents.
Actually the amount of $484, 3O4.2 6
set aside for schools in the last tax
levy constituted decrease of about
$4,000, it is estimated. And yet the
schools are operating on the same
high standards. Unless the State
equalization rate, or that amount Of
levy held necessary for the counties
to share in the State aid fund is re-
duced from 81 cents to 40 cents, there
are those who believe that the more
advanced counties may have to sacri-
nee kindergartens and junior high
schools, etc. They point out, however,
here in Montgomery County, that
State aid has never been invoked and
that cut in the equalization rate will
mean about Is cents off the county
tax rate, comparable saving to the
taxpayer without endangering the
public school standards.
Commissioner Shaw declared that
Montgomery County has never sought
aid Of the State equalization fund in
maintaining the county school system
and that he and the rest of the board
would support a substantial reduction
in the school tax levy if the scheme
proved practical and feasible.
