Those Who Can Pay

Members of the Prince Georges
board of county commissioners
yesterday entered into the fight
over whether the county health
department shall be allowed to
vaccinate children whose parents
can afford to take them to pri-
vate physician.
DR.. A. B. Hooton, county health
officer, will face the county medi-
cal associations charges at its
next meeting, January 6. Two
commissioners, members of the
county board of health, the Mary
land board of health. and private
doctors will be fighting over who
shall vaccinate or innoculate
children against diptheria and
other illnesses.
Serum Offered
DR.. Hooton has offered a single.
dose serum, the taking of which
will wipe out the menace of diph-
liberia. The basis of the COM
plants is that the county health
department has no way of know,
ing who can afford to be innocu.
lated by a private physician and
who must depend upon the free
service of the health department,
says DR.. Hooton.
Commissioners Ormand Phair
and Frank Small yesterday were
designated by President Walter
Grimes to represent the board at
the January meeting.
DIPHTHERIA CHECKED
Strongly instrumental in check
ing a plague of typhoid fever in
nearby Maryland a month age
was his offering of free innocula
iton to any who wanted it. said
DR.. Hooton. Growth of diphtheria
among children in the Mitchell
vile area has been checked by
means of a free clinic, 1t was also
pointed out.
The health department has
been sponsoring clinics in schools
and suggested treatment by family
physicians wherever it was pos
Sible.

Of BATTLE
Supreme Court Action to Be
Asked If Man Is Convicted
of Killing z Va. Women

LEESBURG, Va, Nov. ,S.-With
George Crawford's fight for free
dom narrowed down to a jury
trial in the Loudoun county Cir
cult Court here December II,
counsel for both sides began pre-
pairing their cases today.
The accused colored man, after
hearing Judge James L. McLe-
more rule that the murder in
dictments against him were valid
despite the fact that no colored
men were on the grand jury which
returned them. pleaded not guilty
to the charges and was returned
Immediately under heavy guard
to the Alexandria jail.
ColOred Juryman Sought
Charles Houston, professor of
law at Howard University, who is
defending Crawford, indicated af-
ter the hearing yesterday that "a
supreme effoAt" will be made to
have the colored race represented
on the trial jury that Crawford
will face December IL.
After announcing that he would
not seek a change Of venue in
CPawford's case, the professor
added:
eve want this trial to mark
a turning point in the State of
Virginia regarding cases Of this
kind. We are going to show
these people that all this bally'
i. hoo and heavy guard will not be
necessary in future trials where
q member of this race is in
volved."
Asked whether the case would
be taken to the Supreme Court
If Crawford is convicted on the
charges of numbering Mrs. Agnes
Boeing Ilsley and her maid, Mrs.
Nina Buckner, he replied:
Observation-Disclosures is. if we
can get there"
Commenting on the possibility
of colored persons being placed
on the Crawford jury panel, COM
monwealth authorities indicated
that if there are any clored men
in the county qualified to serve on
the jury, their names may be
placed on the jury service list.
State May Favor Plan.
It was pointed out by many
persons interested in the trial
that the State may even request
that colored representatives be
on the jury, so that no loophole
will be left open for a long de-
lay or possible new trial later.
Among witnesses to be called
by the State in their effort to
break down Crawford's alibi that
he was in Boston at the time Of
the crime, Jan. Is. 1882, are sew
eral persons who are said to
have testified previously to his
alibi and later altered their tes-
timony.
The case will be heard by
Judge McLemore, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Pollard to
hear the motion to quash the in
dictment. States Attorney John
Galleher will be assisted in the
case by Frank Wray, Berryville,
Va, attorney.
Besides Houston, G. w. Tyson,

WHAT PARENTS OUGHT TO
KNOW
Cor The Literary Service Bu-eau)
BY r.. "a. Adams

BY II. "a. Adams
In many instances parents seem
in%excusably blind Or wilfully ignor-
ant in regard to their own children.
With the hope Of rendering service /
am pointing out some Of the things
which every parent ought To know,
in regard to their children
That indulgence is detrimental to
the child and will bring grief parents
and to children, as well
2 That all children need restraint.
because they are naturally ignorant
and wilful
3 That in training children par
ents' example counts more than pre-
cepts.
q That a mothers first duty i
to her own children, and she should
not allow social exactions nor any-
thing else to cause her to neglect her
children.
5. That children are their faith
er's as well as their mothers, and
that it is unfair for the mother to
seek to exercise proprietorship over
them.
s. That it i a mistake to punish
children for apparent wrong. without
ample investigation, Since appearance
so often are deceptive.
q That conventions and safe
guards are necessary for protection
of youth.
g. That, in dealing with children,
kindness, g~entleness, reason, toler-
ance, will accomplish more than
~harshness and intolerance.
9. That children foSm habits al
most from birth, making it necessary
that training should begin in infancy
10. That all parents must answer
to their children, their consciences
and to their God, for failure to per
form their duties toward their own
children.
