A far heavier p. M. c. Fresh

the breaks offered them anG
swept to a IL to 0 victory over
the previously indicated, un-
scored-on West Nottingham
team at Chester last Friday
The Fresh recovered a Noting
ham tumble of the opening
kickoff and after being resist
ed stubbornly at the goal line,
finally crossed it for the first
score. A blocked kick and a
pair of passes put the victors
in position for their other
touchdown in the second per-
iod. The game was featured
by the defensive work of both
teams, and neither offensive at
any time during the game
really got under way. The
Nottingham backs found them
selves smothered at the line of
scrimmage and so were forced
to resort to passes. A strong
wind made a passing attack
difficult, and but three of the
local teams aerials were sue
cessful.
In the final period the Not
tingham team threatened the
P. M. c.. goal when Odell inter-
cepted a pass and carried it in
to Freshmen territory. Then
Metzgar circled the end for Is
yards and the w. N. A. eleven
was in the shadow of the P. M.
C. goal, but here the drive end
ed and the game was over
shortly after.
SchOles scored the first
touchdown for the home team,
while Frescolm rounded the

Richard Roe, forest ranger, keeping
headquarters advised by telephone Of
conditions OF fire hazards.
Telephones in the forests are just
as essential to their protection as are
telephones in homes and industrial
plants. The national forests now con-
tain 185,251,0 900 acres consisting Of
timber and grazing lands. Last year
these forests produced approximately
100000 in revenue to the govern.
ment
The extension of telephone lines in
every, section of the country as q
means of preventing and controlling
fires is an important feature of pro-
lection by the forest wardens, rangers
and other personnel. The govern
ment maintains more than 10000 miles
Of telephone wire, connecting over
1920 fire towers and lookout houses,
in the national forests. From these
strategic points, wardens and rangers
are constantly on the alert to prevent
CONGREGATIONS.
Forest fire telephone systems gen.
orally connect with the lines of the
associated Bell or connecting tele-
phone companies so that long distance
communication can be had to the dis
trict fire protection headquarters in
cases where extra help is needed to
extinguish dangerous CONGREGATIONS.
Smoke signals giving indications Of
fires are reported by telephone. Patrol
officers make every effort to ex-
tinguish fires before they begin to
spread.
Forest wardens and rangers resog-
nize the value of telephone service.
They realize that it means the saving
of many hours of hard labor where
one or two men aided by efficient
communication can cooperate in get
ting together on small blaze that
otherwise might result in disaster to
large areas.

In response to requests from
every section of the State for
advice or assistance in over
coming difficulties in rural
sanitation, DR.. r. HI. Riley, Di-
rector of the Maryland State
Department of Health, an
nounces that the Department
has issued a pamphlet on resi-
Dental sanitation, containing
practical suggestions for solv-
ing the more important sani-
tation problems that affect the

ed for the satisfactory disposal
of sewage and of garbage. The
subjects are discussed in sufi-
cient detail to meet general
conditions. Those interested
in following the recommends
tons are advised, however,
that plans for each residence
must be considered in relation
to location and the proximity
of water supplies to possible
sources of contamination, I'M
favorable slope of the ground
or other conditions, present
special difficulties.
In the section on water sup
plies, streams, springs and
wells, as sources of supply are
discussed; the need for the
protection Of water supplies
from contamination is empha-
sized; the construction of dug
and metal cased wells is de-
scribed; and the possibility of
contracting disease through
polluted water is pointed out.
The essential requirements of
sewage disposal, by means of
chemical toilets, sanitary priv
les, water carried sewage, var
ious types of treatment plants,
outfall sewers, and disposal by
ground absorption are describ-
ed in detail.
Advice Is also given in re-
gard to the construction of in
Generators and to other meth
DDS Of garbage disposal.
