SNOW BLOCKADE
Storm Ties Up Traffic And
Business Schools Close

Since the first day of February,
when a ten-inch snow fell, we have
had nothing but winter weather,
with the temperature at times at
zero and below, and ground covered
with snow, continuously since then.
Monday there was anothe, snow
fall of between four and i've inches.
With the snow came high wind
that swirled it about and piled it up
in big drifts.
Roads in this section were block
ed. The big State Roads snow pillow
kept the main thoroughfarea open,
but travel on other roads was al
most at standstill Tuesday, until
drifts could be dug through.
Rising Sun was without mail SER
vice all day, no mail or newspapers
reaching this postoffice until after
nine o'clock at night, when a train
finally got through.
The rural carriers from here were
able to cover only portion of their
routes, most of the roads they trav-
ell being completely blocked with
drifts.
Train service was entirely stop
ped. A big railroad snow pillow
reached here about seven o'clock in
the evening, and proceeded toward
Perryville, pushing through big
drifts at Krauss Crossing and other
points, and opening the read to
traffic.
The blockade was general thru
out this section and BUSINESS on
Tuesday was practically at stand
still.
Few of the milk trucks, that de-
liver this dairy product to the Shelf
field Company plant at Rising Sun,
where it is bottled and two carloads
shipped daily to New York, could
negotiate the drifts, and the plant
was compelled to run on short time.
But one of the school buses sue
ceeded in getting thorugh with its
load of pupils to the schools at Ris-
ing Sun, and school was dismissed
in both High and Elementary de
partments, after brief sessions, a
number of the teachers as we'll as
most of the pupils being absent.
Many of the rural schools were
closed also, as neither pupils or
teachers could reach them.
The wind continued to blow hard
all day Tuesday, and roads that had
been opened to traffic were soon
filled with drifts again.
Conditions did not improve great
ly until Wednesday, when things be
gan to assume a normal aspect.

THERE is REAL DANGER

This year is turning out to be
what health officers call measles"
year. The disease is prevalent in
all of the counties: it spreads very
quickly; it is very dangerous for
very young children, and because
many mothers are inclined t., think
that measles doesn't anic cunt to
muck. and that it is better for the
children to have it and to have 1t
over, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director OF the
State Department of Health, sends
them this message:
Measles is especially hard, he
said, con very young children
babies from about six months old to
children of school age. It is very
treacherous disease. 1t often opens
the way for pneumonia, and other
diseases of that kind, and it fire.
quently leaves some serious after
effect. 1t is very catching right
from the start, SO special EFFORT
should be made to keep the ,ounger
children away from others who have
If. There is real danger IN 1t Tor
the little children. It's a mistake
10 say ooh let them have it, and have
it over
I'VE have the record at the State
Department of Health of thousands
Of cases of measles that have occur
relied in the State. Wherever such
records are kept-and they ale kept,
now, all over the world-they all
tell the same story of the seriousness
Of measles for very young children,
Our records concerning several
thousand cases Of measles that oc-
CURED in the counties of Maryland,
during 1880, 1881 and 1892, show
tfat one fourth occurred among
children under FIVE; nearly half
arnong children from five to nine
years old, and the rest among older
Children or grown-ups.
"But the disease was much more
dangerous for the very yourG child
rem than it was for their older
brotters and sisters. One out OF
every pine among the babies under
a year old, and one out Of q among
children under three, whose illness
was reported. died of the disease.
The deaths were much fewer among
the older children. During the
three years, referred to. theFe was
Daily one death. in every SOC, OF the
children from five to nine whose
sickness was reported.
t'But even though it may not be
as dangerous for the older children
as for the younger ones, measles is
a serious disease for ANYBODY at any
age-young or old-who has It.
Anybody who has it, or who shows
symptoms of It. should have the
best possible medical care-and the
doctor should be sent for promptly.
IF your child shows any OF the
symptoms OF measies-at the start It
often seems to be only Q cOid-put

children away from the one who -

Difficult Problems
Among the problems confront
ing the association in recent years
was the proposed establishment Of
q large gas storage tank by the
Washington Gas Light Company on
p 23-acre tract in the community.
With the aid Of adjoining aSSocia-
lions this project was finally de-
Geated.
The opening of New Hampshire
Avenue, with a bridge over the
baltimore and Ohio tracks was an
other accomplishment of the asso-
c1at1on, after 20 years battle,
FUNDS having been provided for
ssth1S project, and work already be-
sHun on the bridge, which it is
chopped to be completed by Janu-
ssnry, !, 1885. The association has
been instrumental in getting MANY
streets opened and graded; also,
securing street: lights, mail and
:4lre alarm boxes. The extension
sDf New Hampshire Avenue over
gfhe new bridge will shorten the
ad1Stance from WASHINGTON to
baltimore by about seven miles.
When the association was
formed the educational facilities
OF the neighborhood consisted of q
tWo-room, frame school, known as
: Aae Soldiers Home School located
on property just east of the Sol
d1ers' Home Grounds, which was
later superseded by a fcur-room
brick building called the Wood
burn School, obtained through ef-
1ortS OF the association. During
!. the fiscal year 1888 funds were Sc.
sCured to build the new John r.

Seated with appropriate ceremonies

POLICE SEEK CLUE
IN GIRLS MURDER
Identity of Victim Thrown From
Car in Charlottesville Re-
mains Unknown.
BY the Associated Press.

by Ilo hSSOCldtcu
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, March
22.-Police today were attempting to
identify a young woman killed by a
fall fro m a fast-moving automobile
near the University of Virginia
campus about IL O'Clock last night.
Whether she jumped or was pushed
from the vehicle also remained to be
determined.
Several persons who viewed the
body at the university hospital early
today were unable to identify it. Her
head was crushed either by impact
with the roadway or by being passed
over by a wheel of the car. Bits of
glass led to the theory that door Of
the car was broken and a girls hat,
powder puff and parts of a box of
candy were found strewn along the
road for a distance of $50 feet from
where the body was found.
Perrin Shaw, a resident of Rugby
road, told officers that while taking
walk last night he saw an automobile
stop, a man get out and walk back to
where the body was lying and say,
Gertrude, why do you do me like
that?" Then, before he had a chance
to identify the man or car or realize
what had happened, Shaw said. the
man returned to the car and drove
of. He summoned physicians, who
discovered the girl was dead.
