PECULIARLY FORMED EAR
CORN SENT DEMOCRAT

Twins, triplets, "quartlets," as one
was once heard to name bankruptcies,
and quintuplets, have all recently been
brought before the public eye, so Mr..
F. Weidema, farmer near Costen's
Station, brought to the Democrat"
office this week perfectly formed
triplet in the form of ears of corn.
The growth resembles some of the
Mexican tropical plants, and consists
of three ears of yellow corn, growing
from one stem, the middle ear being
somewhat larger than the other flank
ing two. 1t is a novelty in the way
of corn production.

"The twenty-ninth annual Christ

activities in this state has been going

plete reports from the various coun-
ties have not yet been received, but
it is hoped that the amount OF IN

Managing Director of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, stated in a
comment upon the Christmas Seal
Sale in the counties of Maryland.
at is estimated, Mr.. Matthews con-
tinued, that in 1900 three times as
many people died of tuberculosis as
now. The reduction in the death rate
since that time is equivalent to the
saving of 175,000 lives every year.
There are still approximately $780,

POLITICS IN THE RAW

The Honorable Judges of the Cecil
Circuit Court have handed the State
Roads Commission a spanking in
oyerruling the demurrer filed by the
Commission against the Board OF
County Commissioners bill asking
for an injunction to restrain the
State Board from dismissing County
Road Supervisor Joseph T. Richards,
Democrat, and filling his position
with William NJ Cameron, Re
publican.
The action of the Circuit Court in
virtually accusing the State Roads
Commission of playing politics may
tend to slow up that body in its
eagerness to make places for faithful
party followers.
We heard much during the Guber-
material campaign about a vast po-
litical machine having been built up
through the State roads, etc, but the
present powers that be seem to sub
scribe pretty thoroughly to the old
political axiom, ito the victors be-
long the spoils," also, and in its
rawest state at that.
With the Cecil county tangle hold
ing the State Roads Commission up
to ridicule, perhaps more diplomatic
methods will be resorted to in future,
than summary dismissal without
even so much as formal notifica-
ton, when party jobs are to be
handed out

STATE CAN'T SHARE IN SOCIAL
FUNDS

Because the State has not set up
the necessary machinery to qualify,
Maryland cannot participate in the
proposed Federal grants for aid to
dependent children, services for Grip
pied children, childwelfare services
and aid to the blind.
This is pointed out by Herbert
Fallin, Municipal Budget Director
and Chief Accountant, in a report on
the provisions of President Roose-
yelt's pending social security bill.
The measure is in the hands OF a
Congressional conference committee.
The security bill provides definite
rules for the qualification of a State
for participation in each of the social
phases covered. Maryland is quail
fed for a grant toward the distribu-
ton of pensions, if the Federal
measure is enacted in its present
form, through the passage early this
year of the States Old Age Pension
law.
The passage of comparable meas
ures is necessary if Maryland is to
participate in the four social activi-
ties from which she now would be
barred.

CHANGES IN MILK REGULATIONS

DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, calls
attention to recently adopted
changes in, and additions to, the
regulations which govern the control
of milk, shipped, handled and con-
sumed in Maryland. The new regu-
atoms make more specific require
ments with regard TO the pasteuriza-
lion of mix, than those formerly in
force, and define the standards for
milk sold by grades. The regula-
tons were adopted by the Board at
its regular monthly meeting, June 81.
The requirements specify that the
pasteVrization apparatus must be ap-
proved by the State Department oi
Health and shall have the proper
temperature control; that milk shall
be heated to a temperature of not
less than 1872 degrees Fahrenheit,
continuously, for not less than thirty
minutes, and then shall be properly
cooled.
Grades are defined as Grades A, B
and C, raw milk and Grades A and B
pasteurized. The definitions are
practically the same as those of the
U. S. Public Health Service Standard
Milk Ordinance. All require that
the milk shall be produced under
sanitary conditions as specified in the
Standard Ordinance Grading is not
compulsory but milk offered for sale,
as graded, must conform to the State
requirements.
Incorporated cities or towns are
authorized to adopt and enforce milk
regulations that are not inconsistent
with those of the State Board of
Health, and to provide for the grad
ing of milk. Counties may exercise
the same privilege. The amended
regulations do not apply to cities of
over 100000 population which have
an organized department of health
and which maintain milk super
vision under State Law or city
ordinances.

YOUR LIFE AT STAKE

During 1894, accidents of all kinds
caused 101, 900 deaths-the highest
total on record-in addition to al
most 100000 non-fatal injuries.
The total cost of those accidents,
including wage loss, medical expense
and property damage, amounted to
$4,000, 100000.
Accidents are responsible for more
deaths 20 persons between the ages
of five and nineteen than any other
cause. Among persons of all ages,
only three diseases result in more
1eaths than do accidents.
These are facts that should make
the public pause, think and remem-
Der. The waste of accidents, both in
lives and materials, is complete and
irrevocable 1t cannot be repaired.
And it is almost entirely unneces-
sary.
Of all forms of accidents, these
caused by the automobile are of
course the most serious. Between
1913 and 1894 motor vehicle deaths
increased from 4,227 to $4,000 a
year, while other kinds of accidents
dropped from 1928 to $1,000.
That is largely due to the Increased
number of cars in use-but the fact
remains that at present motor acct
dents per thousand gallons of gaso-
line consumed, are on the rise. The
reckless driver is becoming more
reckless-the incompetent driver is
becoming still more of menace to
all who use the streets and highways.
The automobile accident record is in
striking contrast to that of industry,
which has made magnificent progress
IN reducing both the severity and fire.
quency of accidents in even the most
hazardous factory operations.
The war on accidents is every
citizens war, and every citizen
should Join the colors.' Thousands
Of lives, to say nothing of billions of
dollars, are at stake-and your life
md your dollars are among them.

During the depression real and
permanent farm progress has been
made-by farmer-owned, farmer
controlled cooperative marketing
associations.
These associations have gained in
membership. They have made strik-
ing progress in trying to balance
supply and demand, and in forward
ing Z more scientific production
methods. They have disseminated
information that individual farmers
were not in position to obtain.
Result: A start toward farm re-
covery.
1t has long been said that self
help is the best help. 1t is likewise
the only kind of help that amounts to
anything in the long run.

AUTO LEADERS
SCORE WAGNER
LABOR BILL
International News Service ..

International News Service ..
A group of executives from the
automobile industry today con.
demned the Wagner labor dis
putes bill as blow to free labor
and an effort to give a handful of
leaders control over all American
labor.
Robert C. Graham, vice presi.
dent of the Graham-Paige Mo
tors, acted as spokesman before
the Senate Labor Committee. He
was accompanied by Alvan Nc.
Cauley, president of Packard Mo
tors; Alfred P. Sloan, president OF
General Motors, and others.
Mr.. Graham denounced the bill
as "menacing the peaceful rela-
tions between employers and en-
ployes in the automobile industry
established by President Roose,
velt." He said its passage would
handicap the automobile indus
try in its efforts to promote gen.
eral business recovery"
With Mr.. MaCauley and Mr..
Sloan concurring, Mr.. Graham
termed the Wagner bill "class leg.
iSlation of the worst kind" He
Gaid:'
"It is clearly the purpose Of
this bill to vest labor OrganiZa-
tiOns with greater powers. In
stead of furthering the inter-
estS of American labor as a
whole, this bill, whatever its de-
clared purpose, really is in the
interest of a small minority rep
resented by labor leaders who
apparently seek legislative sane
ton of their efforts to dominate
all American labor.
1--WE believe that any bill
which purports to prevent un-
fair labor practices on the part
of employers should likewise
prohibit unfair labor practices
on the part of labor Organiza-
tions which often take forms
not amenable to existing crimi-
nal or other legal control"
M. Graham said the bills pas
sage would provoke labor trouble
in the automobile industry.
He said if labor organizations
were to receive greater power
under Federal legislation they
should be forced to incorporate
80 they would be "answerable in
law and could be held liable on
agreements made in their behalf
He also demanded an accounting
of labor funds.

prisoner is studied individually to
provide a basis for his return to

The main factor in $4,000 of
