HEALTH in MARYLAND FOR
1885 TERMED FAVORABLE
Director Of State Department Is
sues Report of Births-Deaths

Health conditions in Maryland in
1885 were generally favorable, as in
Dictated by report issued by DR.. R.
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, containing the pro-
visional figures for births and deaths
in the State during the year. The
births exceeded the deaths by a total
of 6,155. There were 1880 births re-
ported, of which 21,391 were white
and $3.50 colored, and 21,175 deaths,
1921 white and 4,974 colored.
The births were divided as follows:
1903 in Baltimore City, 10,543 white
and $3.50 colored; and 1927 in the
counties, 10,848 white and 2,799 col
ored. There were II ,136 deaths in Bal
timore City, 8,344 white and 1872 col
ored; and 1O,O39 in the counties, of
which 1887 were white and 1882 col
ored.
Considering the births and deaths
in relation to population, the report
shows that there were IL deaths in
each thousand of the total population,
which were Offset by 16 births. There
were II deaths and Is births in each
thousand of the total white popula-
ton. In the total colored population
there were II deaths and 20 births.
Of the 21,175 deaths, 1,698-or 8
per cent-were of babies under year
old; 1,903-or per cent-were in the
age group from twelve months to "a
years old, inclusive; 3,051-or IA per
cent-occurred among persons from
% to a. years old and the remainder,
14,523-or 50 per cent of the total
occurred among those who were from
As to Ga years old or older. What are
listed as the degenrative diseases of
middle age and of the older age
groups, were responsible for 1883
or ever half Of the total deaths at all
ages and from all causes. Included in
this total were diseases of the heart,
to which 1864 deaths were attributed,
diseases of the kidneys which were re-
sponsible for 1928, cancer for 2,174,
cerebal hemorrage for 1874 and dia-
betes for 448 deaths.
Deaths from typhoid fever, tubercu-
losis and diphtheria were responsible
for the following in 1885: Tubercu-
losis, 1858; typhoid fever, As, and
diphtheria, % deaths, in comparison
with 1887 deaths from tuberculosis
SO from typhoid fever and % from
diphtheria in 1884.
at is impossible not to be impress
ed" DR.. Riley said, "by the heavy
toll taken by the diseases associated
with middle age and the older age
groups. The majority of these dis
eases come on slowly and can often
be recognized and checked before they
have made devastating inroads upon
the strength and power of resistance
to disease of the individual. No adj
vice that could be offered could show
more clearly than these figures the
Importance of the periodical examina-
ton and health supervision Of the
grown-up members of each family, as

can be detected in this way and habits
of living modified so that health may
be conserved and lives prolonged fol-
many years of normal usefulness and
enjoyment"

66 Below Is Coolest

lures for the United States is &c be-
low zero-reported from Riverside
Ranger station in Yellowstone Park
February 9, 1888. The world record
is 80 degrees below zero, in northern
Siberia, while 70 below has been ex-
perienced in Alaska.
Only two states, Montana, and
Wyoming, have been colder than 60
below zero since the weather bureau
started keeping track of the weather.
Several states have records of so or
more below. Garrett county is not
included.
Every state has subzero tempera-
lures on its weather records. The cold
wave of February, 1899, brought
weather of below to northern Florida
and zero to the Alabama coast.
States as far south as Tennessee
have had temperatures 80 below zero.
The record for cold in Texas is %
below. Temperatures of 16 to IS
below have been recorded in Louisiana
and northern portions of the east Gulf
States.
All of which brings US to the point
that Garrett county weather, taken as
a whole, is not so bad. What's four
teen inches of snow? Just so much
rain, if you ask me.
A lot of people might be inclined
to boiler about the weather until they
meet an old-timer.
"This amt nothin' like it used to
be- says the old-timer every time.
"Why way back in '86, the mercury
went so low our whiskers would break
right off and nobody had to shave. If
we'd meet friend on the street and
try to talk, the words would freeze and
fall at our feet. We used to have to
take wagon along to gather up the
conversation and take it home and
thaw it before the fire. That's the way
we spent our evenings, listening to
unfrozen conversation. And boy,
there were some mighty powerful cuss
words let fall now and then, about the
weather.
"Why I've seen the snow so deep
that all animals learned how to walk
on their hind legs. One time on a
sledride to Aurora our horse got his
leg caught in a hole in the ground
Upon digging him out we discovered
he had fallen in Weber's chimney, at
the greenhouse.
"And blow! Why I've seen it blow
so hard on Hooppole Ridge that all
one had to do was to hold out his arms
and he could fly from there to Para
disc church. 1t used to blow so hard
that instead of drifting snow just
couldn't stay in the county.
"But when it did snow. I've seen it
snow so hard that it covered the track
of one foot before a person was able
to make another track with his other
foot.
Zone time the mercury went so low
that the cold pushed it clear out of
the bottom of the thermometer, ant
hung there like an icicle. These kline
of winters are for softies."

After that, Linda couldn't re-

She dared not leave the house for
fear of missing his call. The house
keeper was too old to be relied up
on; that was the excuse she gave
to herself.
Deep in her heart, she knew her
real reason was that if Dix called
and said he couldn't come on Sun
day, she hoped she could make him
suggest another time.
On Saturday, Vida Jennings

BY CITY JEWS
This Years Quota Stepped
Up 40 Per Cent Due
to Greater Need.

Two hundred workers are sched-
.-lo~ w pegin solicitation today for
the Jewish community's share in
the maintenance of more than 10
institutions locally, nationally and
abroad.
Clarence w. Efroymson, chairman
of the Jewish Welfare Fund, an
nounced last night at the opening
of the campaign in the Kirshbaum
Community Center that the increase
Of about 40 per cent in the 1886
goal would go largely to the relief
of Jews in Germany and other
European countries, and to the
Jewish settlement work In Pales-
tine. The fund goal this year is
more than $4,000; in 1885 it was
$4,000.
Many Of the workers who are to
start today heard the address of
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, Cleveland,
which formally opened the cam
paign, last night at the Center.
Last Chapter Not Written
THE oppression of the German
Jews by Adolf Hitler has created
the greatest crisis in Jewish history
since the Crusades," Rabbi Silver
said. "A helpless community of
100000 German Jews is being
strangled to death by medieval
government. Deprived of every
right of citizenship, they are like
wise drinking the dregs of physical
privation."
Rabbi Silver urged the rallying
of Jewish people all over the worln
to aid the German Jews with finan-
cial and moral support.
Hitler has not written the last
chapter in the history of the Jews
in Germany" he declared. 1--WE
who have studied the history of
Judaism know that. The Nazi gov

CHAPTER THREE

II linda wasn't quite sure she had
- heard the words correctly. Pete
himself almost doubted that he had
said thep1-"You could marry me-"
He didn want a wife. He wasn't
In love with Linda Bourne. He
hadn't given any romantic thought
to her.
He wouldn't know what to Go
with wife and If he were going
to marry any girl, he would have
too much self-respect to marry
girl who was accustomed to lux
uries he couldn't give her.
Then he remembered that Linda
was no longer an heiress to any
thing except trouble. Nevertheless,
his overwhelming feeling was sur
prise that he had spoken so i'm
petuously.
Whatever Linda's reactions were,
she did not betray them. She knew
why he had asked her to marry
him, and she knew, too, how to
reply.
That was exactly the right thing
to SAY to lady in Distress" she
told him, "but I am not to be out
done in gallantry I thank you
for your kind invitation and regret
that I can not accept" Then she
laughed gaily.
So she had thought it was only
gallant speech! Peter stified the
smallest sigh of relief.
1t was easier after that for Linda
to talk to him. She had estab-
lished a lighter note and the tense
strain of the hour they had spent
dispelled itself. She told him that
she was planning to sell the house.
but until it was sold she would
stay on there with the housekeeper
who, in time, would retire and live
with married daughter.
TN the meantime" she said, 1--WE
Il been thinking of things l could
do. 1t can't be so terribly hard to
be a secretary. I've had lots of ex-
perience at the League and
thought perhaps I could get through
quick course at a business college,"
Peter had heard good many
stories from girls who had lost and
were unable to find secretarial jobs,
but he hadn't the heart to discour-
age her when he had nothing else
to offer.
"Or, perhaps Linda chartered
on, Il might try to get job coach
ing dramatic courses. You know
Little Theater things"
Pete was glad the subject had
changed to something about which
he could talk. You're interested
in the theater, aren't you?"
Crazy about it," she told him,
and added hastily, mot acting, you
know. I couldn't do that. I'm not
pretty"
Pete thought she was more than
pretty when her face lit up with
enthusiasm and that her delicate,
expressive hands spoke as eloquently
as her voice.
6But dramatic expression, plot de-
velopment-those are the things I
love. haven't had any experience
except with school clubs and things"
And you wrote play for the
bazaar" he reminded her.
"Oh, that!" She dismissed that.
She didn't want to think of it. It
was too closely associated with the
dreadful week before.
