TRAFFIC COURTESY WEEK
E. Austin Baughman. Con-

E. Austin Baughman, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles,
has announced plans to make
the six days beginning July 3
an official Courtesy Week, dur
ing which every motoris5 will
be called on to be exceptionally
mindful of "the other fellows"
rights on the road.
Mr.. Baughman said that if
the motorists responded he
would make Courtesy Week an
annual feature of his depart
ment.
The first week in July was
selected, he said, because of the
heavy motor traffic in connec-
ton with the celebration of In
dependence Day and an influx
of tourists. The accident toll
in past years has been extrem-
ely heavy during this period.

Editor of The Midland Journal.
AS predicted in your recent
editorial, I note the Public
School teachers met and voted
not to choose to cut their sala-
ries 10 per cent.
These teachers receive each
from 5000 to $500, or an aver
age Of $1,000; High School
Principals receive $4,000 each.
The average is for 9 months,
S133.33 1-3 per month; and for
high school principals, $255.55.
Fifty years ago, it ran from
$500 to $4,000 per month.
Living is very little more
now than it was then, except
the automobile, radio and some
others that go to make up the
high standard of living in this
great "home of the brave and
land of the free!"
Great stress was laid on
building character SO years
ago; today it is athletics"

Add to this little budget the
expenses of Circuit Court and
various appropriations and
charges outside and we can
see how the burdensome tax
rate in this county comes
about. 1t is no wonder the
taxpayers are up in arms
against the outrageous sum be-
ing spent to run the little af-
fairs of Cecil County.
But fellow taxpayers, it will
take more than a little semi
private conference at a citizens
home to get out from under
this burden, and the sooner we
wake up and determine that
taxes must come down, the less
will be the task.
Lets get together and talk it
over.

Just Every Day Sense
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TACK LONDONS daughter has come home with the
J news that the average Russian takes his marriage
quite as seriously the average American With his
stricter divorce laws
do not believe it makes much difference where
men and women live what their laws may be- They
long for permanent marriage. This is civilized mans
fondeSt dream-a love that will endure.
Every girl who walks to the altar carries this high
hope within her heart. Every man who repeats his
is sustained by vision OF the beauty and the
everlaStingnesS of love.
And in spite of the marital disasters see about
us each longs that some miracle may preserve his
faith All are disappointed and dismayed when this
does not happen
The reason our dreams are shattered often is
because we make little effort 70 keep them whole.
Love disappears because do not coax it to remain
TINE story of our disgraceful behavior at Reno is
l. not the story of the failure Of marriage; 1t is
not even the story of the mistakes caused by our
diversified divorce laws. But it is the sorry tale of
nation of individuals who haven't the courage to
fight for their happiness.
Three-fourths of all divorces are unnecessary And
larger percentage than that brings more misery to
the individuals than permanent marriage could.
We never shall discover love by searching for it in
the mire OF the flesh The fabric of marriage is in
terwoven closely with physical and spiritual affection
and our chief error is made when We discount the
Importance of either.

says it takes good many years for us to learn to

The Children's Bureau

Just twenty years ago today President Taft signed
the Borah bill creating the childrens bureau of the
department of labor. Today false economy threatens
its usefulness.
This bureau stands high among all government
bureaus in possession of efficiency, integrity, and
sympathy. 1t was born Of storm and stress.
Lillian D. Wald, New York settlement worker,
first urged its creation, in 1906. Over the stubborn
opposition OF Speaker Joe Cannon and other reac-
tionaries it finally to being in 1872 Since then
chiefly because of the devotion of two women, its
founder Julia Lathrop, and its present head, Grace
Abbott has kept doggedly at work.
No other bureau has asked less and accomplished
more. Housed in shabby, wooden structures burned
out at one time, pinched always for funds the
target of child labor employers. the cdrens bureau
has helped more than 100000 mothers to save and
raise their little ones administered wisely infancy

saved thousands of mothers and babies lives
Today, its ministrationS more than needed.

Civil Liberties in the South

The action Of the state supreme court upholding
the conviction of the Negro boys for alleged rape in
the Scottsboro s(Ala) case indicates the special
dangers of mixing the red and black issues in the
south.
1t is probable that the boys would have been re-
leased granted trial if their defense had been
left to the National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People But this only would have indicated
fair play for blacks.
The International Labor Defense interviewed, i'm
plying that the boys were reds as WELL though to the
defendants Karl Marx unknown as Max
Planck, Goethe, or Ben Jonson. This brought into
play the economic fears Of the southern capitalists
well as the conventional mob spirit directed against
sex relations between black and white.
The Communists claim that they can not get JUS
tce in American courts The dice certainly loaded
in favor of this thesis when they take the of
alleged red Negroes accused rape in the far south
But IL is hard on the boys.
There is, however, an excess labor supply in the
south and martyrdom may provide a more glorious
exit for these Negro youths than would accompany
a normal ending Of their days.

Of the Communists by affirming their conviction In

Use of radio in treatment of dis
~ ease adds one more form of
radiation to medical practice. At
the present time, infra-red rays, I'LL
tra-violet rays, X-rays and radium
rays are employed.
Nature herself has been making
use of variety of rays for ages.
Sunlight, in addition to visible light,
contains infra-red rays or heat rays
and ultraviolet rays.
But nature, knowing that too
much of anything is harmful, has
equipped mans skin with a mechan-
ism for tanning it.
A coat of tan shuts out the ultra
violet rays of the sun. That is ma
lures method of protecting man.
There is also another interesting
mechanism in nature. The ultra
violet rays Of the sun not only in
clude healthful rays, but rays which,
if they reached the earth's surface,
would kill every living creature
upon it.
These extremely short ultra violet
rays, which would be deadly, are
screened out by small amount Of
ozone, a form of electrical oxygen,
high in the earth's atmosphere.
There is so little ozone in the at
mosphere, that If all of it were con-
densed into a layer upon the earth's
surface it would be about three
fourths of an inch in thickness.
Yet there is enough ozone to pro-
tect the inhabitants of the earth.

Uncle Sam, the COP

The federal governments police ventures have

spies, jalers, and judges-to punish kidnapping

Bread without the Circus

Release Of 100000 bushels of farm board wheat
for use by starving Americans is noble humanitar
ian measure which no man with modicum Of human
kindness would criticise.
Yet it produces one Of the most ronical conditions
in all human history. Our individualist politicians
and economic leaders have fought bitterly sound
policy as unemployment insurance the ground that
it is dole.
It would they say, demoralize the American work
ing class and impose a great financial burden on
the government. The success and invaluable con-
trbution of such systems abroad have not
been SUFFICIENT to expose shalowness of this opposi-
ton
Now by this free distribution Of state-oWned
wheat we have reverted to what has been the classic
example of the dole throughout all history-the
Roman dole of wheat. When anybody wished to point
to the horrible results of public charity he invariably
brought up the Roman distribution of grain to the
impoverished masses
Bread and circuses" has been the phrase which
has rung down through the ages to symbolic the
corruption and decentralization of state and populace
alike
Not only has government distribution of grain been
regarded the worst type Of public charity it also
is far more expensive to the state than unemploy-
ment insurance.
The state never bears the total burden in unem-
ployment insurance. Usually it bears one-thrd the
other two-thirds being assessed against labor and
employers.
Some recently have suggested compulsory unem-
ployment insurance, in which the state would be
released almost entirely from any financial obligations
American workers, by hundreds of thousands, are
starvation today Free wheat is a necessity. But
1T is we'll to emphasize the actual crudity of this
wheat dole, may take steps to prevent any
necessity of its repetition in the next slump.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Radio Apparatus Used In En-
periments In Effort to Cure
Certain Diseases.
D Ado, familiar to the world as
IN a means of entertainment and
communication, may become a form
OF medical treatment as well in the
near future.
Experiments being conducted here
and abroad, including experiments
in the laboratories of the General
Electric Company, and in certain
New York hospitals, indicate that
radio may prove an effective treat
ment for certain diseases
The apparatus used, known as a
radio-thermic oScillator resembles
the apparatus used in Short-wave
radio transmitters.
The energy developed, however, is
not used to radiate a wave from an
antenna, as in the case of a radio
transmitter. Instead, the energy
is used to create an electric field
between two metal plates.
The patient. placed between these
two plates. absorbs the energy and
as a result is heated internally to
the point that he develops all
symptoms of fever-high tempera-
ture, increased pulse rate, and
so on.
Radio fever" developed in this
way, has been tried as means Of
treating arthritis.
