Opportunity

n ERHAPs one may say there is
no opportunity for him; another,
that opportunity Is dependent
upon personal influence and helpful
environment, both of which he seems
to lack. Another has some wonder
full opportunity of which he takes adj
vantage, and through which he gains
success Opportunities for service
may seem to be opened to some while
they are closed to others. Sometimes
an individual goes to a country or
locality other than his own, seeking
opportunity to achieve the goal of
his desire, seeking to gain that which
to him means happiness and success.
Another finds his opportunity at
home.
What is opportunity, this thing
which aids or binders the progress
of men? In a dictionary the root
word Is given as before the har-
bor;" and harbor Is port through
which one enters a country; there
fore, a gateway. The Psalmist said
(118:19), "Open to me the gates of
righteousness: | will go into them,
and / will praise the Lord" Is not
the gate to righteousness the ability
to think rightly? JEST opened
great doorway of opportunity to his
disciples when, as 1t Is written, he
"opened their understanding"
He taught them how to think right
ly; how to know the truth, to under
stand and to utilize the power of God.

ness with God, hence their oneness
with the nature, qualities, and attri-
butes of perfect Being, the result of
which was shown when they took
advantage of opportunities to heal
the sick and cast out Gevils.
One may always think rightly, and
right thinking leads to attainment.
In Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Up. 1872 Mary Baker
Eddy has written these inspiring
words: 1.-THE devotion of thought to
an honest achievement makes the
achievement possible. Exceptions
only confirm this rule, proving that
failure is occasioned by too feeble
faith"
If one who has not succeeded in
some honest endeavor will search his
thought. he may find that what he
needs In order to gain success Is not
so much an opportunity as stronger
faith in God, {. firmer conviction of
His omnipotence, an increased eX-
pectation of receiving, which. in turn,
inspires greater effort towards attain
ing the good already provided by the
loving Father. The faith which leads

SWIMMING POOL REGULATIONS

The attention of persons who make
use of public swimming pools, is
called 20 the sanitary regulations
under which such pools may be
operated, by DR.. r. n. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health:
With coed roads all the way, and
the prospect of refreshing swim
within easy reach, the popularity of
merely a matter of supply and de-
mand, and good weather 1t is no
longer necessary for the devotees of
the sport to go long distances to en-
joy their favorite recreation. In
every section of The State public
pools are taking the place of the old
swimming hole.
Because the water in such places
can be easily contaminated and
thereby become carrier" of dis
ease germs, regulations designed to
protect those who use the pools,
from avoidable hazards, have been
ssued by the State Board Of Health.
These regulations require that an
operating permit shall be obtained
from the State Department of Health,
before the pools may be opened to
the public Such a permit: Is issued
only after an inspection has been
made by the Bureau Of Sanitary En-
neering of the State Department of
Iealth, and when the sanitary condi-
tions of the pool are found 20 be
satisfactory. The C o s tr u C | on,
equipment and operation of the pool,
the source of the water supply,
methods of publication and sanitary
ccnveniences provided must comply
with the requirements before the per
nit is granted. Follow-up inspeo-
items are made during the operating
season and if conditions are found
the permit is revoked until they are
corrected.
The regulations of the State Board
Of Health apply to any swimming
pool, operated in any part of Mary
land outside Of Baltimore City, Pools
within the city limits are under the
sanitary supervision of the Baltimore
City Department of Health. The
State regulations apply to any swim
ming pool that is used for period
of six days or longer and that ac-
commodities ten or more persons at
any one time. A permit holds good
for enc season only. 1t must be re-
newed annually. 1t is not trans
ferable and the operator is required
to have it framed and conspicuously
displayed.

to achievement Is founded on the
truth that God, good, Is all-powerful
and His goodness available to all
1t may be that one has for years
believed he Is the victim of circum-
stances, or is handicapped by his en-
vironment, or. perhaps. Is held IN
bondage to distressful conditions be-
cauee OF lack of health, education, or
personal influence. Since God is ON
nipote nt, circumstances have no pow
or to vctimize the tsue thinker; and
because God is everywhere, environ
mon, or place cannot handicap one
who understands the omnipresence of
good. And as spiritual man is free
born. he can never be held In bond
age to any material circumstance or
condition. Understanding this, no
one need remain behind the closed
door of false beliefs; he may begin
Immediately to know and declare the
truth regarding the situation.
Holding thought steadfastly to the
truth leads TO realization of the truth.
and realization to achievement, thus
proving that the door of opportunity
Is always open.
The gateway of opportunity Is
open and will ever remain SO; but
just as there are regulations to be
complied with before a ship may en-
ter a harbor, so there are laws to be
obeyed as one passes through the
gateway of right thinking to the land
of opportunity. Nc: only should one
conform his thinking to laws of right,
justice, love, but he must obey them.
I,A rf mil
one would enter, the requirements
are always the same, namely, that
the desire be worthy, the purpose
honest and the effort steadfast.
Wherever enc Is, he may obey the
loving counsel Of the Master, "Seek
We first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; to which he added
the promise, land all these things
shall be added unto you" Matthew
$500. Mrs. Eddy has written (The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, and
Miscellany, p. 203), "Our thoughts
beget our acti ms; they make us
what we are" Conforming ones
thoughts to those of God, good, one
may go forward TO the attainment Of
genuine success and happiness.
Through the gateway of right think
ing one may surely reach any high
and honest goal.
One who enters the land of right
desire through the door of correct
thinking, achieving thereby some
worthy purpose, will, as did the
Psalmist, "praise the Lord" for he
knows that God is his strength and
intelligence, and is therefore giving
him the ability to progress.

MARYLAND RURAL ELECTRlFl
CATION PLANS TAKING
SHAPE

Plans for getting The 100000, 900
rural electrification project into
actual operation were outlined in
Washington last week at confer
ence between Morris l.. Cook, of the
Rural Electrifica.ion Administration,
and a special committee of American
Farm Bureau leaders headed by it's
national president Edw. A. ONeal,
who was recently appointed member
of the Works Allotment Division by
President Roosevelt H. II. Nuttle
and C. E. Wise, Jr., of The State
Farm Bureau, were the Maryland
representatives.
The primary object sought under
the various plans, it was emphasize
ed, was to bring electricity to as
many farm homes as possible with
the funds allotted-and at the low
est possible rates. Standard speci-
fications covering rural line construc-
ton are being prepared with this end
in view, according to Mr. Wise.
Although in the extension of lines
into the rural sections, the private
power companies will be given The
first chance, the plans also include
provisions for granting loans for
similar purposes to existing munich
pal power companies, and for setting
up of cooperatives. In the latter
case, the cooperative would build the
line and buy the electricity at whole
sale rates, and pay off the govern
ment loan through the retail differ
entail.
$15O,OOO,0OO was the original sum
requested by Mr.. O'Neal for rural
electrifcation in his recommends
tions for p. w. A. ALLEGATIONS two
months ago. Both Mr.. Cook and Mr.
o Meal see in this program an oppor,
tunity for a large increase in the de-
mand for electricity and electric ap-
planes, thereby improving the bust,
ness of utility companies and in
creasing manufacturing activity.

RULES FOR SAFE DRIVING

Suggestion to motorists on how to
avoid highway accidents are contain
ed in a set of rules for safe driving
prepared by the Safety Department
of the Keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland and made public by Albert
e. Buckley, Manager of the Club.
Observance of the safety hints will
unquestionably result in marked
decrease in automobile casualties, the
Club officials believe. The rules
follow:
Be continually on the alert and
keep your mind on your driving.
Give a signal to~~the car behind
when you intend to change your
course.
Be especially vigilant wherever
children are at play
Watch the movements of other
vehicles because the other fellow may
do the wrong thing.
Obey all traffic signs and signals
Drive with greater care between
the hours of p M. and 3 p M, the
period of the day when the large per-
cen.age of highway accidents occur.
Operate your vehicle at night only
when the headlights are properly
focused.
Slow down at schools, railroad
crossings and street intersections.
Have your car inspected regularly
especially the brakes.
Keep in line when driving in con-
gested traffic and while approaching
the Top of hill or a sharp turn.
Don't drive when physically ex-
hausted; fatigue causes many acct
dents.
Protect the reckless or needless
pedestrians by having your car under
control prepared for any emergency.
Drive on the right side Of the road.
Remember that your guests are
depending ON you for their safety.

TEN YEAR PLAN OF STATE
WORK

A $14,517,5O0 program has been
developed by the State Planning
Commission as a guide for Mary
lands public works expenditures
during the next ten years-envisag-
ing necessary Improvements during
that period to schools, water and
sewer systems, public buildings and
parks.
1t is the second report prepared
by the commission, headed by Abel
Wolman, who also is the PWA eng1-
neer for Maryland. The first report
was an analysis of the expenditures
by the State government, Baltimore
and the counties for public works
during the period 1924-1934.
The report made public Saturday
deals exclusively with expenditures
proposed for the State government,
without taking into consideration
highway plans or work within the
scope of local subdivisions. State
school construction is limited to
State-owned and operated normal
schools and the University of Mary
land.

COoPERAToRs TO MEET

During the week of July 1920,
the American Institute of Coopera-
ton will hold it's 18th annual meet
ing at Cornell University.
In a recent statement, Charles w.
Holman, Secretary of the Institute,
said that the 1885 session will be
somewhat different from its prede-
cessors, in that it will be more of an
Institutional character, with lectures
by practical authorities on coopera-
tive marketing, with special en-
phasis on the business problems of
the agricultural cooperatives. In
other words, where previous annual
meetings have been in the nature of
conventions, the forthcoming session
will be primarily devoted to search
ing discussions of farm problems.
l. is said that the meeting will be
attended by the representatives OF
more than three million organized
farmers And, during the same
week, a number of national farm
groups allied with the cooperative
movement will hold their meetings
lat Cornell
Cooperative marketing has come a
long way since it began. Every
year has witnessed definite progress
that handful of farmers who be-
longed to the first cooperatives has
gown to millions. Cooperatives have
learned much and done much. Meet
ings such as the Institute holds, by
bringing varying viewpoints and diff
ferent minds together, take the CO.
operative movement still another
step toward its stability and
prosperity on the farm.
When three million individual pro-
ducers can be represented at single
conclave, it shows that cooperation
has passed the pioneer stage, and
has become a dominant influence in
American life.

FUNDS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
WORK

State public health workers will
have at their disposal $4,000 from
Governor Nice's contingent fund, 1t
was revealed Friday at the opening
in Baltimore of the fifteenth annual
conference of health officers and
boards of health of Maryland.
The announcement came in pa
per by Governor Nice which was read
by DR.. Joseph I. France in the abb
sence of the Governor.
The paper praised the work OF
public health officers, saying be
cause of them, plaques no longer
sweep the country and the death rate
has steady trend downward"
OF the money assigned public
health officers, $4,000 will be for the
free distribution of diphtheria anti
toxin, the Governors paper asserted.

THE PRICE OF HASTE

Haste" according to the Travel
ers Insurance Company, causes
nine out of ten automobile accident
Deaths"
There are various forms of hasty
driving-all of them reprehensible,
all generally unnecessary. Exceed
ing the speed limit is the most COM
mon form,-and is the most import
ant single cause of fatal accidents.
Reckless driying-such as cutting in
and out OF traffic, passing on hills
and curves, etc.-is another form.
So is driving on the wrohg side of
the road. So is usurping the righ.-
of-way-which is an especially pro-
life source of accidents. serious and
minor, in towns and cities.

Results of farm housing survey
made in Maryland last year showed,
among other things, that of $4,000
farm homes in the state, nine per
cent are made of brick and II per
cent are of frame construction.
1t was also found that only six per
cent of these houses have been erect
ed during the last decade. Thirty
per cent of the $4,000 homes are
from 25 to so years old and fifty per
cent are over so years of age.

MOMENToUs DECISION

Calling the Schechter case in re-
1ation to the NRA the most mo-
mentous decision that the Supreme
Cour. has handed down since the
bred Scott decision, President Roose-
welt, at a press conference, declared
it had relegated federal control over
interstate commerce to the "horse-
and-buggy era" and presented the
country with a great national and
nonpartisan issue that must be de-
cided.
He clearly implied that he favored
going to the people themselves
either by an amendment to the Con-
stitution or by a constitutional con-
vention-to broaden the power of
the Federal Government.
The issue, he said, was whether
the people want to return to the 48
separate states control of economic
and social conditions in SO far as
they affect the nation as whole, or
whether they would finally decide to
turn them over to the Federal Gov
eminent with such control as is
exercised, he declared, in every other
nation.
This issue, Mr.. Roosevelt declared;
must be decided within the next or
10 years.

Maryland Fresh Egg Law, recently
passed by the State Legislature, i. is
stated by Wade H. Rice, poultry
specialist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service. The new
law went into effect on June l and
constitutes the first act of legislation
ever passed by this state for the pro-
lection OF consumer, producer and
merchant alike,
The new law is act compulsory for
anyone but provides for certain high
standards which must be met il eggs

or quality. it is explained by Mr..
Rice. Similar laws have been enact
ed in recent years In practically every
state in the Northeast.
According to Mr.. Rice, Maryland
producers should find little difficulty
in complying with the new law if
they will simply follow the recon-
mended practices of the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
These recommendation include
keeping of standard breed of
healthy birds, provision of one nest
for every five birds. combining of
