Value Of Laughter

In days Of old, laughter was not onl,
believed 70 deliver one from magic
spells, mad spirits, hatred and hos.
tility but It was thought to possess
life-giving properties. So at pagan
spring festivals the people laughed
hilariously for hours at time to
bring life back to the earth. Appar-
emily the 1onians Of, ancient Greece
also liked those who laughed. as they
had a law which exiled those who
never did.-Collier's Weekly.

Supt. uhl Will Con-
tinue In Position
Attorney General Gives Rul-
ing In Cecil County
School Middle

The controversy over displacing
Prof Howard Ruhl as County School
Superintendent with another educa-
tor more suitable to the present
board of education, which has been
complicated by the refusal of the
State Superintendent to qualify the
appointees made by the County
School Board, appears 30 have been
settled as result of the ruling made
by Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor of Baltimore. The ruling
says that the appointment should be
made during the month of May.
The opinion was given by the At
torney General in response to re-
quest for ruling on the case by DR..
Albert S. Cook, State Superintendent
of Education.
I'm my opinion" Attorney Cen
eral O'Conor says after citing some
of sections of the law, "the plain
meaning of this enactment makes it
mandatory for the county board to
act during the month of May. The
word "shalI' admits of no other con-
struction. Doubtless the purpose of
this provision was to afford ample
time for a change in the county
superintendency, since the new Of
fcer's term begins on August LIST.
4 y. There seems to me to be
sound public policy for the appoint
ment of a superintendent in May, as
specified in the law. Therefore you
are advised that county board of
education, under section 134 mus.
appoint during the month of May"
"Under the facts of the case stated
by you, a county board made two
appointments during May 1885, ire
ferring 70 Cecil county,, but both of
them failed to qualify as prescribed
by statute. In this event, there was
no valid appointment during the
month of May, and under the word
ing of the statute, the incumbent now
in Office shall hold Office until his
successor qualities" Therefore, you
are advised that the person (Howard
RuhD who has held this Office for
the past term must hold over until a.
successor has been duly appointed
and qualified under the terms of the
act"

FARMERS VIEW DEVASTATION
OF JAPANESE BEETLE

The devastation by the Japanese
beetle was viewed by group of
Maryland farmers on Tuesday.
At the desolated orchards, vine
yards, corn fields and asparagus
farms, the farmers grew anxious, for
the beetle has been more threatening
in Maryland than at any time in ten
years.
Officials of the University of Mary
land chronological department, who
guided the tour of the infested areas
Tuesday, attributed the revitalized
beetle invasion to the lack of sufici-
ent appropriations for control work.
County agents assembled farmers
from their territories a* Elkton at
10:45 A. M, and they started off in
a cavalcade of automobiles, led by
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
university extension bureau, and DR..
Ernest N. Cory, State entomologist.
The area around Elkton is the
worst infested in the State-the Col
gate area, in Baltimore county, runs
a close second-so the tour began in
the Elkton vicinity and then pro-
ceeded to New Jersey, where the de-
structive work of the beetle on
farm and orchard were seen.
DR.. Cory and DR.. Symons pointed
out that the most effective action that
can be taken at present is to prevent
the spread Of the pest, and mean
while scientists at the University of
Maryland and elsewhere are laboring
10 find a chemical which will slay
this insect enemy. With sufficient
funds, DR.. Symons said, the beetle
can be pevented from migrating. He
cited Cambridge as an example of an
area where the. beetles have been
kept restricted. The bug has in
tested the town since 1926, but by
the use of traps, sprays and soil
treatment the State has succeeded
in keeping it from surrounding
territory.
