Second Series of Hooked Rug
Schools To Be Held

A second hooked rug school will be
held at the Bittinger Parish House
on Tuesday, February 9th, at $50 a
M, weather permitting, Miss Marga-
ret X. Burtis, home demonstration
agent, announced Monday.
A similar school will be held in the
grand jury room at the Court House
in Oakland on Tuesday, February 10,
at ten o'clock in the morning.
Those attending will make a study
of the dyeing of old materials to pro-
duce good colors for hooked rugs.
They will also select and combine col
ors into harmonies which purchasers
want to buy.
In making rugs for home use it is
often unnecessary to dye materials on
hand, but if a saleable rug is desired
some dyeing and study of color combi-
nations is helpful, Miss Burtis said.
Interested women are cordially in
vited to attend. Some arrangement
should be made regarding lunch, as
the meeting continues in the after
noon," she concluded.

SANITARY AIDE

! Pressing need for a sanitary
inspector for Prince Georges
County is seen by DR.. A. B. Hooton,
county health officer, in his
report to the State Department
OF Health for the last month.
Many complaints Of nuisances
have been received by his office,
he said, and 1t is impossible to in
vestigate promptly the many
complaints received during the
warmer months and at the same
time carry on other phases of his
health work satisfactorily.
Some Of the complaints have
unearthed distinct health men,
aces, while others have been nui'
SaY1ces of an esthetic nature only,
but investigation Of them has tied
up the health work considerably,
it was said.
DR.. Hooton also disclosed that
the measles epidemic is only now
on the decline and that certain
communities are still affected.
Inspection Of tourist camps has
also been started.
