HEALTHMOBILE
TO SPEND WEEKS
in SO. MARYLAND

The Healthmobile of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health will spend the next
eight weeks in Southern Maryland
and the Eastern Shore, visiting sec
lions not reached by the regular
health conference for babies and
young children. Over sixty places are
included in the itinerary. Confer
ences for the examination of children
who are not under medical supervision
will be held at each place.
The Child Health Special made it's
first stops, this week, in Charles coun-
ty. The provisional schedule for the
rest of the season, as announced by
DIR. ]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the
State Bureau of Child Hygiene, is as
follows
Charles County, Until June 25.
Calvert County, June 26, July 5.
Kent County, July 8 II.
Queen Anne's county, July Is : 26.
Somerset County, July 20, August q.
The big car is clearly marked as
coming from the State Department of
Health and is familiar sight on the
county roads. The interior is as spick
and span as a hospital room and is
fitted with all the equipment needed
for the complete physical examination
of babies and young children, includ-
ing a dental chair-Children' size
and the appliances used for examining
children's teeth. The examinations
are usually made in the car, but as
the Healthmobile always parks near
some neighborhood center-a school
building, parish house or community
hall-the conferences can be easily
transferred within doors if the wealth
er is unfavorable.
Arrangements for the tour of the
Healthmobile in each county are I'M
der the direction Of the County Health
Officer and the Public Health Nurse.
The staff of the Especial" includes
doctor who has had training in the
care of babies and young children and
a dentist.
The aim of the conference is to
show mothers how to keep their chill
dren WELL No medical treatments are
given. Children are referred to their
own doctors for medical supervision
and care.
The Healthmobile conferences will
supplant the regular conferences for
babies and preschool children in the
rest of the State, which will be held
as usual, during the summer. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid in all of the sum-
mer conferences on the examination
of children who will reach school age
this year in preparation for their ad-
mission to school.

THE ROYAL Blue
DECREASES Time

Running time between Washington
and Jersey City has been lessened by

streamlined train of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which pulled into the
railroads station at Wilmington, Del.

Scores of redisents of the city
thronged the northbound platform OF

ance of the train and particularly by
it's engine, the president Roosevelt"
The engine is operated by steam.
B. F. Daniels, of Baltimore, the
engineer, said he kept the train at
80 miles an hour through most of the
run from Washington. In tests the
trains speed has appropriated 12O
miles an hour.
The stream-lined train weighs little
more than half the weight of stan

ties such as shatter- proof glass, rub
ber-cushioned trucks and air condition
ing. The train started it's regular
runs recently. The first run was in
the nature of "dress rehearsal"
The train on it's regular runs will
leave Wilmington at 1902 in the af-
ternoon for Baltimore and Washington
arriving at the latter city at 1857

In their place was nothing but

The motion of the train is much
smoother than that of ordinary trains,

speed of 81 miles an hour between

cars were luxuriously appointed with
deep carpets and modern divans and
chairs.
The rear car narrowed around to a
point at the end, and on the inside
passengers can sit on a semi-circular
seat, as in an observation car, and
look out through slanting window.

she wasn't ready to tell any

Ma least of all. Ma always
had so much to say, and she
wasn't in any mood for an
argument or even a discussion.
Right now she just wanted to
have a good time-keep going

about anything serious.
But when she felt low, as she
did pretty often because she
was so tired all the time, she
took the ring out of her purse
and wore it for a little while.
She always wore it when she
went to lunch, unless she was
with Ethelyn. And didn't the

Queer that there was never

Lalla just disappeared, disap-

Mary never had so much die

dictated so fast it was a terrible
strain to take it, and then he'd
go out and leave her with hours

But she didn't do any over
time. Shed learned that lesson.
And she took her full lunch

YANKEE PAIR
IN Spy CASE

PARIS, April II WR)- Marjorie
Tilley Switz, Vassar graduate and
intellectual spy, was freed today by
the French government, which in
return for the release of herself and
her aviator husband, Robert Cor
don SWitz, received evidence against
81 of Europe's most notorious spies.
The American couple, faced with
potential vengeance by the gang
they betrayed, probably will be de-
ported secretly.
They made, during the 16 months
Of Imprisonment in which they were
kept apart and questioned separate
ly, "a full confession" of the con-
spiracy, and admitted that Switz
had risen to become co-head of the
espionage headquarters in Paris.
They admitted obtaining valuable
documents and pictures of French
military defenses.
The name of the country or coun-
tries for which they worked was not
revealed, but both Moscow and
Berlin were reported involved.
Contradicting earlier reports that
Mrs. Switz worked "for the thrill
and excitement and that she and
her young husband received very
little money, it was revealed today
that they got lavish expense money
