They have to give them away if they can't get anyone to

ESQ Rockville Students
Take tuberculosis Test

During the week of April 24th
approximately $50 students of Rock
vile High School submitted to the
skin test for tuberculosis. The tests
were administered by DR.. v. L. Eli
colt of the Health Department.
The skin test for tuberculosis is
a harmless method of determining
whether person has been infected
with the germ of tuberculosis. A
small amount of liquid is injected
between the layers of the skin of
the arm. If the test is positive it
shows that the child should have an
x-ray or physical examination. There
is no charge for the test or exam
ination. If the disease is discovered
in its early stages it can be treated
effectively, thus the tests should re-
duce and control the number of cases
in this vicinity.

LET EN- PLAY

hTe old adage that "all work play makes Jack
dull boy" is true today in the days of your own
youth Expecting the boy to spend all of his waking
doing school work is not good for the boy Certainly
should devote every minute of his school time study
and it is best that he should reasonable amount of
work to do about the house farm But denying him
holiday and then and dscouraging him when wants
to spend few hours with his companions in game of
ball fishing trip is unfair to the boy Of course
he viii grow up to be a man whether he plays or not
Every boy viii do that But he will grow up to be
healthier, happier and dependable if he en-
couraged to seek the association of other boys at the only
time in his life when such association can be worth any
thing to him. Don't forget those early days in your own
ne Don't forget that the boy of today is not different
from the boys of early days. They want exactly
what wanted So it's up you see that they get it.

Vacation Bible School To
Hold Meeting At Ashton
M. E. Church On May 80

The East Montgomery County
Council of Religious Education an
nounces a mass meeting for Vacation
school workers to be held in Ashton
Methodist Episcopal Church, Tuesday
May 30th. The director of Vacation
school work for the International
Council of Religious Education, Paul
Eddy of New York, viii be in charge.
1t is hoped that every Church in the
county is planning to hold Vacation
school itself or to join with some
other church or churches in the con-
duct of one. The greatest problem is
that of securing and training leaders,
it is said.
To meet this need, the East Mont
gomery County Council urges every
community to make a canvass of
young women home from normal
school or college, who will undoubted-
ly be delighted to share in this kind
of project. In previous years public
school teachers who have not attend
ed summer schools have been most
generous with their time.
Appoint your leaders now and have
them attend the mass meeting on the
Both.
The Maryland-Delaware Council is
assisting number of the county
councils of religious education in put
ting on these Vacation school insti-
tutes and it is through their coopera-
ton that the services of Mr.. Eddy are
made available.

Gaithersburg Aces
Down Rockville In
Thrilling Triumph
First Time In Three Seasons
Rockville Has Been Defeated
By Upper County Nine

The Gaithersburg Aces Sunday de-
feated the Rockville ball tossers by
the score of "a, in the first of a three
game series. It was the first time in
three seasons that a Gaithersburg
team has emerged victorious over the
lads from the County Seat. Despite
the intense rivalry between the two
teams, the game was clean cut
throughout
Esworthy, the Aces star hurler,
held Rockville to eight well scattered
hits, famed six and walked but two.
He was invincible in the pinches, al
lowing but one man on base per inn
ing, with the exception of the third
when Rockville scored all of their
runs.
The Aces started off with the drop
of the kerchief, scoring two runs in
the opening stanza. Smith led off with
single and forced at second on
Towards roller. Hits by Godfrey and
Dosh filed the bases and on an at
tempted squeeze play, Howard was
out at the plate. The paths were still
occupied by Godfrey, Dosh and Dia-
mond and when Cashell walked, God
frey scored the first run of the con-
test. Beall scored Dosh with an infield
hit and "Mouse" Gloyd flied out to
Heider to end the frame.
Rockville did not see life on the
bases until the third when they stay
ed at the bat long enough to score all
four of their runs. Doubles by Case
and Coleman and singles by Valenza,
Heider and Hutchinson, sandwiches in
between errors by Godfrey and Cash
ell made possible the four TALES,
after which the Aces settled down
and did not allow another alien run
ner to reach the far corner.
In the Gaithersburg half of the
fourth after Gloyd had rolled out, a
single by Esworthy, a double by
Smith. single by Howard and anoth-
er double by Diamond enabled the
Aces to score three runs and end the
scoring for the day. From that per-
iod on neither team was able to get
more than one man ON base per inn
ing. Eleven hits were gathered off
Benny Coleman's delivery, while
Morosa limited the Aces to one bingle
in the three innings he toiled. Gath
ersburg was helpless before him.

MURPHY TO BE YOUNGEST.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, April
8 R.-Mayor Frank Murphy Of De-
troit, appointed Governor General of
the Philippine Islands by President
Roosevelt, will be the eighth Governor,
appointed or acting, within six years.
He also will be the youngest.
In the 80 years of American admin
istration in the islands only one Of his
predecessors was a Catholic, although
the Philippines are of that faith.
Murphy is so little known here that
comment has been guarded Some
criticism has been voiced in Philippine
newspapers because Of the delay in
naming a successor to Gov Theodore
Roosevelt, who sailed for the United
States March Is.
In two decades only three Governors
have served longer than two years. They
were Francis B. Harrison, Leonard
Wood and Dwight Davis.
