After nine years Of continuous OPP
Grafton the attendance this year at
the free chest clinics of the Maryland
Tuberculosis Association outnumbered
that of any previous year. When the
clinics were started it was thought
by some health workers that the at
tendance would have a tendency to
decline over period of years. This,
however. has not been the case in
Maryland.
During the past fiscal year tubercu-
losis specialists acted as part time
cilincians, holding clinics monthly in
most of the counties of the state.
Thirty-eight hundred and lightweight
patients were examined.
The clinics are made possible by the
annual sale Of Christmas Seals and
are held in cooperation with the State
Health Department. Clinicians who
held clinics in the counties were:

WAR ON RATS
VIII Stop Huge Loss In Coun-
ty From Rodents

Arrangements for the big
countrywide banquet on De-
Icember 16 are almost complet-
ed. The County Agent of Cecil
county reports that many per-
sons are taking advantage OF
this opportunity to get rid OF
rats, and that orders for the
special rat bait are pouring
into his Office.
If everyone in the county
Having a rat infestation will
cooperate in this campaign,
many thousands of dollars will
be saved by farmers and other
persons. 1t is estimated that
the labor Of 100000 men Is re-
quired every year to produce
the food and property destroy
ed by rats in the United States.
1t is hoped that this campaign
will reduce Cecil counLy's share
of the $200,000,000 loss each
year in this country. In many
of the campaigns conducted in
New England, farmers have re-
ported an average loss by rats
of $40 a year. The use of
special campaign bats seems
to have been an excellent in
vestment.
The rat is one of the most
prolific breeders among man,
mails, bearing 6 to 10 filters a
year with an average of 10
young to a litter. If one pair
of rats were allowed to multi
ply at the normal rate of three
years, and if all the animals
lived, there would be 359,7O9,-
482 rats alive at the end of
that period. No wonder that
rats have spread over all the
earth within a comparatively
short time. The rapid multi
plication of rats, as we'll as
their migratory habit, makes
it essential that everyone CO.
operate in this organized drive
ON December 16.
Since the bait method is the
most satisfactory way to kill
rats, prepared bats will be
mixed at central point and
distributed to very community
in the county. To three kinds
of bats will be added the re-
markable ratcide, red squill.
This material is relatively
harmless to human beings, do
nestle animals, and poultry,
but is very toxic to rats and
house mice. It is the safest
poison known to the U. S. De-.
partment Biological Survey,
which is supervising this cam
paign. The regular combina-
ton package of three kinds of
bait provides sufficient mater
ial to cover the average farm
or other property making 100
small bats. 1t is necessary
simply to expose the bats ac-
cording to the directions on
each package. This plan will
make it very easy to get rid of
rats at the low cost of fifty
cents, as under a cooperative
arrangement each person US
ing the bats will be asked to
share the wholesale cost of the
materials.
To obtain these bats it is
necessary to order them in adj
vance. Write or telephone
your order to the County
Agents office and you will be
advised where to call for the
bait on the afternoon of De-
cember 16, telephone Elkton
325. II you wish your rats to
partake in this banquet, do not
neglect to order your bats
right away, as these prepared
bats at this low cost will not
be available after the cam

ACTORS AND BOXERS
FACE IMMIGRATION BAN
Resolutions on Aliens Imposed by
Bill Now Under Consideration
in House.

Alien actors, operatic singers and
choristers, boxers and even wrestlers
who are coming here in increasing num-
bers to compete with Americans for box
office receipts, would be restricted un-
der the immigration law If legislation
introduced in the House is enacted.
1t is proposed to put all these alien
competitors under the contract labor
provision of the immigration law. This
would make sure that each one proved
himself of distinguished merit and
ability" entering in response to DIFF
mite demand as evidenced by con-
tract. The professionals would be re-
quired to leave the country as soon as
the contract expires.
Chairman Dickstein of the House I'M
migration Committee already has intro
duced a bill aimed at actors and Is
planning to take similar steps in con-
nection with boxers and wrestlers. A
bill by former Chairman Johnson COW
ering the musicians is on the House
calendar, and another bill by Dickstein

ADVERTISING STRESS
ON PRICES FEARED
Trade Magazine Publisher Sees
Menace in Lowered Quality Stand
ards of Merchandising.

Jay E Mason, publisher Of the Busi-
ness Week. warned the Advertising
Club Of Washington yesterday that
standards of quality in merchandise
are threatened by the emphasis that is
being put on price.
Declaring advertising has very
definite part to play in the current
phase of the business cycle" Mason
said the natural and inevitable price
liquidation Of the last two years has
established trend" toward making con-
sumers regard price as more impor-
tant than quality and merit. This, he
said, threatens the merchandising
strategies upon which American busi-
ness has been built"
advertising stressing the quality of
merchandise will rehabilitate the stand
dards upon which business has been
conducted in more stable times. 1t
would reverse the tendency that already
has carried many businesses into red
ink areas, thus preventing the replen-
ishment of capital and the establish
ment of sound basis for credit. The
whole process might be reversed If
manufacturers and retailers will sub
situte quality merchandising for price
merchandising.

DoDcING HIGH POSTAGE

Another Illustration of the fact that
raisin prices does not always increase rev.
enues is seen III the recent increase of letter
postage from two to three cents. In fact,
this has been seen in numerous postal rate
increases in recent years.
The new rate has caused marked de-
crease in first class mail, and postal authori-
ties now advocate return to the two cent
rate.
For example, firm which formerly
sent out thousands of bills each month UNI
der two cent postage now sends postal
card statements for one cent. Also it has
arranged for customers to pay their bills by
deposits in convenient banks instead Of
mailing checks, with this result:
Formerly the government received two
cents as postage on the mailed bill and an
other two cents on the envelope containing
the customers check. If the new scheme
had worked out it would have received
three cents postage on the mailed bill, an
other three cents on the envelope with the
RENTED check and two cents on the check
itself, or a total of eight cents. But under
the arrangement devised by the patron it
now receives only one cent. Many bills for
nlerly mailed are now delivered by EN-
ployees of various firms at less than post
age cost.
M another case,sa bank which former
ly returned customers Cancelled checks by
mail, which would cost from three to 10
cents for each batch returned at the pres
ent rate. now holds these cancelled checks
and has patrons call at the bank for them.
Former increases in newspaper postal
rates caused many large publishers to adopt
truck delivery over wide areas, at a saving
to them and at consequent loss to the gov
eminent. And so on.
Even government monopoly loses
when it tries to impose higher rates than
the traffic will bear.
