Epidemics Still Dangerous

DR.. Cumming explained that de-
spite all our present-day medical
knowledge. epidemics still occur and
in some diseases there is little that
can be done to prevent exposure
once they break out in a commun-
fly. He added that much progress,
however, was being made in innocu-
lations and serum.
Il believe that we are on the
threshold of new biochemical de-
velopments of the sort which have
given us insulin," he explained. by
use of synthetic internal secretions,
we will be able to supply the weak
est link in the human gland chain.
Even today, 1 know many men,
prominent in business, who would be
dead except for such treatment. I
think doctors will make great
achievements in this field in the
near future"
He was not so optimistic about the
conquest of what he called develop
mental diseases, such as cancer, but
he expected some gains.
Heredity Also Factor
ITO achieve long life, one might
remark as did Oliver Wendell
Holmes that we would have to
choose our grandparents" DR.. Cum
ming said. There are certain ra-
cial and family stocks that seem to
have long life while others appear
to be short lived. These factors
would play part even if the in
dividual we're able to escape acct
dents and diseases over which he
has little or no control"
The surgeon general stressed the
Importance of clean milk, clean wa
ter and clean food in leading a long
life.
Any code of clean living, physi-
clans of the Public Health Service
said, would make wine, women and
song" just three little words with
little place in his daily life.

report of The Literary Digest's nation
wide poll as 642,711 votes from TWEEN
ty-six States were tailed.
The total balloting to date is shown

Frostburg she became widely known
and was regarded as an excellent bust
ness executive.
After being unemployed for a year
Miss Glotfelty accepted position with
the Union Mining Company, Mt. Saw
age, and worked steadily until three
weeks ago when her mothers health
forced her to remain at home. Authori-
ties learend she was depressed over
her mother, with whom she resided.

two brothers, Howard and Garfield

and sister, Mrs. Charles Barney, re-
siding in New Jersey.

ETY. of weather during the past week,
with high winds, about 7 inches of

ature remained in the twenties, but
yesterday the storm appeared to be
over with the rising of the mercury.

SUGGESTIONS GIVEN FOR
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Oakland Rotary Club Sponsoring
Lighting Contest In Homes
and Business Establishments
PRIZES TO BE AWARDED

There's a zip in the air, a hustle
and hustle in the business places
downtown, and increased activity
around the house as mother, dad and
the kids pry into boxes in the attic
in search of holiday decorating mater
ials. Christmas, the most beloved Of
all holidays, is coming.
It may be a box of shiny orna-
ments, a tube of tinsel, some red and
green paper roping, colored bulbs or
candles, or a string of tiny lights that
the family is looking for. Perhaps the
supply of leftover materials won't
be large and there may be few extra
pennies to buy anything new. It's well
to remember that it isn't the size or the
elaborateness of the display that
counts. It's the attractiveness and the
spirit behind it.
If you've ever decorated your home
for the holidays, you know how it's
done. You may have worked out some
clever ideas which have brought many
comments for their originality and
the attractiveness. You know also that
the earlier you erect your decorations
the better. Do not wait until the
Christmas season is almost over or un-
til the last minute furry or activi-
ties keep you from doing any
thing at all.
If you are one of the rapidly de-
creasing majority who just haven't
found time to bother with decorations
in past years, or thought them too ex-
pensive, you'll appreciate sugges-
tions for the simple displays. For the
newcomers, or for the more experience
ed home decorators, the Rotary Club
is passing on a few suggestions col
lected here and there to aid in MAX
ing homes more beautiful than ever
this Yuletide.
> 1he club is sponsoring lighting
contest and prizes are to be awarded
for the most attractive home and bus
mess establishment. Entrants must
notify the club not later than Deem
Der %. Judges will Inspect the decora-
tons sometime between December 26
and %.

The Windows

The light in the window has always
been the traditional expression of the
Christmas spirit, and it's still one of
the most beautiful ideas. Only today
we use the modern electric candles
which twinkle just as merrily and are
of course safer. A hanging holly
wreath with a red-bulbed candle
in the center makes an attractive Win
dow decoration. Or try a set of seven
candles graduated in size on the sill
If you like siIhouettes cut out from
dark paper the patterns of the Three
Wise Men and Star of the East or a
Christmas tree. Fasten them to your
window with stickers over a sheet of
yellow ppaer. Then place your light
behind the whole display to bring out
