EASTER FLOWERS

Because they bloom at Easter,
This Is the children's name
For all the yellow blossoms
That thus the spring proclaim
From the dark, from out the
cold,
They offer us faith to hold.
The color of the sunshine,
They spread upon the earth;
Bid us forget the winter,
And turn to days of mirth.
Thus hope becomes a joyous
thing,
When Easter flowers bloom in
the spring.

Robbers Surprised In Store

For the seventh time since Arthur
B. Cameron started in the general
store business in Elkton thirty
months ago, robbers broke into his
store Monday night. On previous
visits the thieves carried away a
lot of plumber each time, but Monday
night their flight was fastened by
bullets.
Entrance was effected through a
rear cellar door, which they pried
open. Cessna Alagai heard the noise
made by the robbers and then called
Night Office David Randolph, who
found four men in the building and
as they started to flee one of them
fired at the officer, but the shot went
astray. Officer Randolph pursued
the robbers, firing six shots at them,
but none of the shots took effect.

Teach. Fire Prevention In
Schools

Chief Frank C. McAuliffe of the
Chicago Fire Insurance Patrol, rec
emily advanced the opinion that fire
prevention should be more widely
taught in schools. Fire prevention
in the home, he pointed out, is purely
a problem of instruction, and by put
ting the subject into the school cur
riculum children will grow up with an
innate knowledge of fire hazards and
dangers and the ways to Offset them.
The young mind is much more re-
ceptive than the old one, and the
generation which really understands
the fire meuace will be the gener-
ton that, will Conquer it.
It. is generally known what safety
education in the schools has accom-
plished ip the pastfew years. Vivid,
timely lessons in the fundamentals
of accident prevention have been
responsible for lowering the death
and injury rate among children of
school age during time when acct
dents to adults and children of other
ages have steadily increased.
Fire prevention lessons on SINH
lar scale would unquestionably pro-
duce equally valuable results. The
reason eur national fire loss is so
disgracefully high is that so great a
part Of the population is not only
careless in its habits. but does not
understand the simple ABC's of fire
prevention. Too many adult minds
present strange resistance to the
influx Of knowledge. Making fire
prevention a subject in our schools
viii not solve the problem today,
butt is the best insurance we could
obtain for lowering fire loss ten or
twenty years hence.

"The Nation cannot tax itself
rich. 1t cannot dole itself back
to prosperity. The states with
relief problems on their hands
cannot get any additional
money to spend by piping their
funds to Washington in the
form of taxes and getting them
back again as gifts or loans.
Inevitably they would lose
some of it on the way. In addi-

Time OF Joy And Hope

There are two festival days Of the
year that the world continues to OBJ
with reverence. Human progress is
marked by change of thought by
change Of customs, by change of
institutions. The dogma Of today
may be the myth oftomorr0w. The
conflict Of science and traditional be-
lief goes on. But there are two days
on which all Christendomr pauses to
accept the overpowering significance
Of Christianity. These days are
Christmas and Easter.
We celebrate the birth and resur.
reetion of Christ as our forefathers
celebrated these sacred events in the
life of humanity On these days, by
common consent and impulse, con
troyersy is suspended. On these
days, the faithful seek spiritul renew.
al, new strength for the obligations
oflife. On these days the indiffer'
emit are sobered and drawn into the
mood of the time. On these days
even the iconoclast Is compelled to
assume an attitude of respect.
On Easter day believers in the di-
vinity Of Christ renew their faith In
immortality, a faith Of immeasurable
comfort to mankind. To them the
time is one of spiritul exaltation, OF
added strength, of a more confident
facing of the future.
For us all the day is one of joy and
hope and happiness. 1t is consonant
with the energies and manifestations
of spring. It come when the buds
are breaking and the early flowers
bloom in challenge of departing
winter. It is a day Of music and
color color in the flowers on the
affairs in places OF worship, in the
Easter professionals, in the dress OF
the season and in the panorama OF
nature. Faith, sentiment and Gus.
tom4have combinedto preserve for
Easter time consistent outward mani
festations Of the spiritual meaning Of
the day.
There is high .hopein the constancy
with which the two great festivals Of
the year are observed. Children
still, are taught the meaning OF Easter.
These observances win be remem-
bered throughout their lives. as
grandmothers and grandfathers can
testify. They will help constitute the
continuing background for that re-
hRious mood which nourishes the
better impulses of men and women

JUST HAPPEN


organizations throughout this country
will conduct their fifth annual cam
paign in the interest of the early
Discovery, Early Recovery" of
tuberculosis. Maryland will have
a part in the nationwide activities
and in addition to the clinics held
regularly every month, there will be
special meetings and clinics, particu-
larly in connection with Negro
Health Week. In order that meas
ures for the prevention or control of
the disease may be put into effect
promptly, an effort will be made
to reach persons-children, young
people, or others, who have been in
contact with the disease or who are
rundown and underweight and show
a tendency toward it.
every doctor and every health
officer knows" DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department Of
Health said, in announcing the plans
for these specials activities, 'that
tuberculosis doesn't just happen. It
always is picked up, in some way,
from other cases. People, in gener-
al, know this too, but they forget it
and need to be reminded about the
precautions they should take to pro-
tect themselves and others from the
disease.
''Fifty years ago, in March, 1882,
Robert Koch announced his dis
covery of the germ that causes
tuberculosis. All over the world
today, people are honoring his mem
ory. Before DR.. Koch made his dis
covery, people knew very little about
the way in which tuberculosis
spreads, or about the means by
which it can be brought under con-
troll. Everybody knows now, that
it spreads from case to case and they
know that the best weapons to use,
not only in the fight against tuber-
culosis, but against all commune
cable diseases as well, are sunshine,
fresh air, plenty Of sleep, nourshing
food, living in general, in such a way
that the powers of resistance to
disease may be kept at their best.
Maryland was among the first
states in this country to engage in an
organized fight against tuberculosis.
Dispensaries, hospitals, and sana-
toria have been established through
out the State for the care of those
who are i'll with the disease, and the
means of prevention have been
taught to those who are well. And
for the children and young people
who have been in contact with the
disease, but who have not developed
il, we now have Preventorium, the
name gives the key note to what it
stands for, where they have chance
to overcome the dangers from ex-
posture to the infection by building
up their powers of resistance to
disease.
"The results of all of these activi-
ties have been show in very great
decrease in sickness and deaths
from tuberculosis in this state. But
we still have far too much sickn e IS
and too many deaths from the
disease, so it is very fitting that we
observe the Koch anniversary by
joining with all other fighters of the
disease in special effort to bring
this dragon of suffering and ill
health under control"
