RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS
BY THE JOURNALISM CLUB
Civic Club News

The new system of monitor duties
established by the Civic Club has
made great improvement in school
routine during its first two weeks.
Everyone is cooperating in this new
experiment formed by the students
themselves, and approved by the
teachers.
The locker room situation has
been improved through the services
Of monitors and the dismissal by
two bells at noon hour. This avoids
the overcrowded effect, because two
classes are permitted to get their be-
lingings and leave before the second
group enters the locker room Now,
during the noon hour, you do not
find a single person lettering in the
locker room, for the monitors are
performing their duties well. Stu
dents find the auditorium or study
hall more desirable place than the
locker rooms in which to spend the
free hour of the day.
During the time we change clas-
ses the halls are much quieter and
more orderly. The pupils cause
very little disturbance. They keep
in lines on either side of the hall.
There is no rushing or louG noise.
The hall monitors are helpful in this
respect.
Monitors have been appointed for
the next two weeks, beginning Jan
uary Is. Monitors for locker room
duty at noon hour are: 1915 to
1880, Fred Lieski, Elizabeth Hall;
1880 to 1850, Philip Foster, Ruth
Little. Monitors for hall duty be-
sween classes are Billy Buck and
Ruth Wilson. Monitors f1r the
loot of the stairs at dismissal are
Hope Reynolds and Paul GRAPHICAL.
fhe monitor for the lower corridor
1t noon is Roscoe Stewart.
We feel that our Civic Club of
Rising Sun High School has accom-
plished a worthwhile task. Stu
Tents feel it an honor to be elected
20 the responsible position of mon
tor. We hope that the next two
weeks will show as much progress
as the last two weeks have.

they are passing germs that are a
source of danger to others. If they
are careless about washing their
hands after they have been to the
toilet, they leave the germs on the
food they handle.
"The germs of typhoid fever and
those of other diseases, that are
caused in the same way, travel to-
the mouths of those who become ill,
through water or milk or other
foods that have become polluted by
sewage or that have been handled
by carriers
"These are the reasons the State
Department of Health is assisting in
furthering these activities in every
way possible. They are not only
providing employment, but they are
helping to safeguard the people in
the State from diseases hat take q
heavy toll in sickness and death, in
this State every year."

WORK UNDER WAY FOR I'M
PROVEMENT OF SANITARY
rONnTTTnNc

Work is under way, DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health has announced, in
every part of the State, under the
| CWA for the improvement Of sani-
tary conditions. A number of
towns and communities, are extend
ing their sewerage facilities to cover
sections that have been without
such service, and what is equally
important, the owners or occupants
of homes in isolated communities,
out of reach of sewer connections
are installing sanitary toilets or
sanitary privies according to plans
furnished by the State Department
of Health and the U. S. Public
Health Service.
Speaking of these activities, DIR.
Riley, who is also State Director of
CWA, said: "These community san
itation projects that are made pos
sible by grants from federal funds
not only give employment to per-
sons on the unemployed lists, but
they serve another important pur-
pose. They give the people in the
counties the greatest chance they
ever had to help rid their communi-
ties of the danger of filth-bcrne di-
seases-such as typhoid fever, dia-
rrhea, dysentery and other diseases
that are spread through polluted
water, contaminated milk or other
foods; or that are carried by flies or
other insects from contaminated
sewage to food and food supplies,
ut isn't pleasant to think Of. but
1t is true nevertheless that every
case of typhoid fever is caused by
specific germ that has come from the
intestinal discharges of somebody
who has had the disease at some
time,
eve don't breathe in the germs
OF typhoid. We eat them. The
germs are carried through the body
of the sick person and pass out in
the discharges from the bowels and
in the urine. Unless great care is
taken to disinfect these discharges
before they are disposed of, the
germs get into the soil. or pass into
the water supply and make it
source of danger. Even after they
recover. some of the people who
have typhoid, fever continue to pass
the germs of the disease in the dis
charges from the bowels and blad-
der. These people become what we
call carriers They may seem to
be well and they don't know that

Fire losses in national forests this
year are the smallest on record, being
about sixty per cent in burned area
below the losses of September of last
year.
Forest fire ,cc.lit.ol conditions are in
a large measure responsible for this
condition, according to Roy Headley,
assistant forester and chief of opera
lions. The thousands of workmen of
the Citizens Conservation Corps, &C.
cupying hundreds of camps, who have
been on hand to fight fires, augmented
by increased communication lines,
have played an important part in this
very credible showing, he says.

AIR AND LIGHT ESSENTIAL TO
GOOD HEALTH OF HOUSE
PLANTS

Sufficient light and moisture in
the air are essential to health and
growth of the average house plant,
according to Walter R. Ballard,
horticulturist for the University OF
Maryland Extension Service, who
points out that few people realize
the importance Of these two factors
in development Of plant life. Only
through sunlight and the way it
acts upon the green coloring matter
in the leaves is the plant able to
manufacture sugars, starches and
other chemical compounds from the

Plants, according to Mr.. Ballard,
vary greatly in their ability to func-
ton with limited supplies Of light.
This fact should be taken into con-
sideration when selecting house
plant for the winter months, as the
days are much shorter at this time
of the year and the intensity OF
light, correspondingly less, For this
reason, while ferns and shegonlas
can get along with minimum sup
ply of light, it is explained that the
geranium should have all the light

In addition to sufficient light the
house plants should have enough
moisture in the air-something
which the average living room does
not have, according to Mr.. Ballard.
For this reason, he states, the kitch-
en- is often more suitable for grow
ing plants because of the moisture
which escapes from cooking things.
Another method for supplying mols-
ture to the air, it is pointed out, is
to have shallow trays, made of
galvanized iron, which are kept
flied with water and lin which the
flower pots are placed ION layer OF

TRIsMus


Referring to this term in dentis-
try it is generally understood to ap-
ply to the various. disorders Of mo-
ton of the lower jaw or mandible.
1t very often occurs as spasmodic
locking of the jaws, the facial and
masticating muscles contrac. and II
is difficult for the individual ii open
his mouth. These movements of
the lower jaws are hindered and
painful.
Trismus is frequently caused by
diseased infected teeth, acute in
fected impacted or erupting wisdom
teeth, or in fact any inflammation of
the roots of the teeth, mouth, ton
sils, or throat, different forms of
neuralgia or injury to the face and
jaws.
In this condition we generally
have associated a swelling, pain,
fever, foul odor from The mouth,
and very often pus discharge.
This infection may come ON sudden
ly or gradually depending upon the
numerous causes and severity.

to the ranger at his station and the
fire dispatcher at the forest head
quarters. The U. S.. Forest Service
places telephone communication along
with roads, truck trails, horse trails,
and firebreaks among the first re-
quirements in forest protection"
New Telephone Lines
At the close of the fiscal year 1892
the national forests were equipped
with 41,734 miles of telephone lines,
according to Mr.. Headley. During the
year, he states, 2,O32 miles of new
telephone lines were constructed, and
more recently plans have been made
to provide 1915 additional miles Of
line, which will be erected by the
emergency conservation corps work
ers. All together the forestry depart
ment is planning to add 10000 miles
Of new telephone lines to its system.
In addition to it's use in fighting
fires, the telephone system in the
national forests is to regulate part of
the forest equipment for general adj
ministration as we'll as emergency
uses, according to Mr.. Headley. Many
temporary lines have been laid to
serve as communication systems in
| fighting fires. The forest service de-
partment maintains large number of
portable telephones which are always
available for hurried installations in
the locality of fires, road construction
jobs and for use of emergency camps
in the forests.

KEYSTONE AUTOMOBILE CLUB
Serves Maryland Motorists As Well
As Pennsylvania

Serves Maryland Motorists As Well
As Pennsylvania
To serve the interests of the mo-
florists of Maryland in the same way
it has served the motoring public in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. is the
aim of the Keystone Automobile
Club, of Maryland, now fuDctioning
with headquarters at $40 North
Charles street, Baltimore, and local
representatives in many towns
throughout the State.
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of the
Club in Maryland, outlines some of
the activities engaged in by his or
ganization which have won public
Eapproval and contributed to the
success of the Club, which is recog-
nized as the largest automobile club
in Eastern United States.
1.-THE keystone Automobile Club"
said Mr.. Buckley, has operated
without interruption since 1905,
when it was organized with a mem
bership of 81 motorists oy the late
Joseph H. Weeks, known as the
father of good roads in Pennsyl-
vania' From that small beginning
it has grown to club of more than
$4,000 active members. It's mill
tant stand in behalf of the rights of
motorists has been responsible for
it's growth and the extension of it's
activities over three states.
1.-THE Club from its. inception has
championed the cause of good roads.
1t has fought filming 'squlres' who
sought to enrich themselves at the
expense of motorists, and at the
same time it has stood without res
ervation for legitimate enforcement
of the motor laws. 1t has stead
lastly opposed unjustified increases
in the gas tax, and it has fought
successfully against the diversion of
motor funds to other than motorist
purposes.
mot content with merely advo-
eating safety, it has gone to the ex-
pense of establishing Safety De-
partment through which Safety Pa
trolls have been organized in more
than $50 schools. with an enroll
ment of 100000 children.
Instead of following the usual
procedure of motor clubs ami saying
something ought ito be done about
traffic control and other matters af
fecting the interests of motorists,
the Club has placed at the service
of municipalities highly trained
and efficient Engineering Depart
ment. Cooperation of this depart
ment has resulted in many trafTic
and highway improvements,
Recent inauguration of the Mo-
tor Patrol, which renders First Aid
medical and mechanical service to
motorists on the highways, is anoth-
er evidence of the clubs interest in
the problems and perplexities of
motorists.

 The Washington Park Commun- ity Club met last night in the new Community House and decided to start holding their meetings twice a month as was the custom when the club first originated. During the past month the club has been meeting weekly due to the differ ent committees that had charge of the parade wanted to keep in touch with everybody and decided to meet weekly to keep interest in the parade and to know just what inc terest there was among the resi- dents of the hill for the occasion. The club decided to meet next week and complete plans for the bowling teams and then start in; November to meet twice a month pin the new Community House. The club used to meet on Thursday evenings, but due to the large at stendanceAat the meetings lately which have been held on Tuesday nights the club voted to meet here-i after on Tuesday nights beginning next month.
 The club was more than pleased with the fine turnout of the diff fefent organizations for the par adesheld last Saturday and it was voted to send a letter of thanks to all the organizations who par-, ticipated in the parade and made the event one that will long be remembered on Washington Hill. <.

MILK ESSENTIAL
 TO ONES HEALTH
Product Plays Valuable Part of Diet Says State
 Bulletin

The reasons why no other single food will pr6vide so many of the essential health elements and why the family menu should be built around milk were explained in de- tail in to-day's weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health, which declared that when it is consideref how much milk contri-
 butes to the health needs of chill
 dren and adults it is an inexpen- sive food at any price.
 First, the protein in milk pro- vides nitrogen in complete and di-
 gestible form for the needs of
 growth and health. One quart will
 provide nearly half of the protein
 required daily, while eggs, cheese.
 meat fish and to lesser degree peas, beans, cereals and breads may be used to provide the other
 half.
 Second, but of paramount impor- tance is the calcium content of milk. No other food contributes
 such a large amount, and their one quart day provides children with the calcium that forms the
 essential. part of the bony struc- ture and the teeth. Although adults have achieved full growth, they need at least pint of milk daily to nourish the bones and teeth. For children nothing short of a quart a day is sufficient for normal growth.
 Next comes the vitamin content. Vitamin A, the great growth pro- moter, is supplied in the, milk fat. It is therefore lost in skinned milk, but it is present in butter, a fact which makes liberal use uf
 butter important to health. Vita mins B and c are also present, al
 though the latter is reduced when milk is pasteurized. Vitamin c can be supplied, however, by such supplementary foods as oranges, tomatoes or green vegetables,
 which at the same time add iron to the diet. Iron is one of the few
 essentials in which milk is tow. A. small amount of vitamin D is pres- ent in milk and recently ways have
 been found to enrich milk with this vitamin as further protec. tion against rickets. < Milk is also Ia good source of vitamin G, which believed to have a definite infin- ence on longevity.
 The bulletin points out that milk should not be looked upon as a drink alone, for it fits into the daily diet in hundred different ways; such as adding 1t to break fast cereals, using it in making
 desserts or in various kinds of cream soups. It may be added to
 breadstuffs to increase their food
 value, and last but not least 1t is a refreshing drink at any time with or without other foods, the bulletin concludes.
