EXCHANGES
SOMERSET co. PRISONER
TAKEN TO BROWNSVILLE

Acting under a Court order signed
by Judge James M. Crockett, George
White, colored prisoner in the county
Jail at Princess Anne, who almost ia
tally slashed Jailer William Holland
last April %, in a break for liberty,
and who only last week seriously
wounded another prisoner, was taken
to the Brownsville State Hospital last
Tuesday morning. Deputy Sheriffs
Holland and Dorsey took the prisoner
to the State institution. For the past
several weeks White has been kept
under close watch in solitary confine-
ment, and he spent his time in trying
to fashion a weapon from the springs
and other parts of his bunk, and also
had, working only with parts of his
bunk spring, succeeded in loosening
several of the rivets which held the
steel plates of his cell wall together.

MIRACLE HOUSE OPENS
FOR TUBERCULAR CASES

Plans are now being formulated at
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton for the opening of the children's
preventorium at Claiborne after the
public schools close in June.
The Miracle House, as the preven-
forum is called, is maintained by the
association to help young children who
have been exposed to tuberculosis by
building up their resistances so that
they can cope with the disease more
successfully. By undergoing a regime
of play, fresh air, rest and sleep, good
food and leading a life governed by
good health habits this aim is realized.
Last year the 145 children who at
tended gained total of $50 pounds.
Almost any time during the summer
months, except when the children are
at rest, one can hear the infectious
laughter and joyful shouting of the
youngsters at play. Toys and other
playthings are provided for their use
and an understanding staff is always
on the job to see that everyone has
Their share of fun.
Many applications have already
been received at the office of the as
ISOLATION. The APPLICANTS are between
the ages of six and twelve and of
both sexes. There are no cases of
active tuberculosis among them but
many of them have been infected thru
their associations with adults who
have the disease,

FARMERS INTERESTED
IN ELECTRIC FENCES

The article in the Talbot County
paper describing the electric fence
created no little interest among the
farmers of the county. Many of them
saw the feasibility as well as the econ
omical side of it, and were heard to
discuss it very freely.
Morris Adams, of Trappe, has one
already installed, and he speaks in
the highest terms of it. The animals
are stung little at the first contact,
but he says they shun the one wire
after that and keep away from it.
Animals, one farmer said, have more
sense than humans. People do some
things that cause them harm, but they
continue the practice in spite of this.
Cows, for example, are taught the les
son one time and this lasts Indefinite
ly.

BAY BRIDGE RECEIVES
NEW LEASE ON LIFE

The bill extending Congressional au-
thorization for construction of the pro-
posed Chesapeake Bay Bridge was
passed by both the Senate and House.
1t will now go to the President for
approval. The measure was sponsor
ed in the Senate by Senators Tydings
and Radcliffe and was introduced in
the House by Representative Cole and
actively supported by Representative
Kennedy Of Baltimore.
The authority of Congress for the
construction of the proposed span has
been extended number of times, but
the bill adopted last week differs from
previous bills in that it vests authority
for the construction of the bridge in
the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Authority
instead of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Company as in previous legislation.
The first public suggestion for span
ming the Chesapeake with a bridge
was made on September 4, 1907, by
Peter Campbell, at a meeting Of the
Travellers and Merchants Association
Of Baltimore.
Since that time efforts have been
made to secure construction funds
from the War Department, the Re-
construction Finance Company, the
Public Works Administration, from
state funds and from various private
sources.

ANCIENT TRANSPORTATION
VEHICLE IN TOWSON

Fond memories for many old timers
were revived when a buggy drew up in
front of the Towson National Bank
and parked. Driving the buggy was
William Petersen, of Stevenson. With
him were his wife and his dog, John.
After dismounting from the buggy,
the couple made their way to the
Court House, where it developed they
sought the old age pension bureau.
Learning that this is handled by the
Welfare Board, they returned to the
Duncan building to await the reopen
ing of the offices after the lunch per-
iod.
The buggy attracted considerable
attention, and many passersby paused
to chat with the elderly couple.

pension check has not yet arrived this

which is not much to pay for rent

This is one feature about the elec-
trio fence that appeals to the farmer.
Animals soon learn the lesson to stay
within the field, even though only one
wire encloses them. The first con-
tact with the wire suffices.
Several other farmers are investi-
eating the merits of the electric fence,
and it is believed that they will be in
general use in the county before long.
One thing about these fences is that
you can move. them with very little
trouble to any section you desire. The
cost is said to be but few cents a
month for a large field.

The old-fashioned picture Of a
dreamy, absent-minded musician
Willing away his spare time at the
piano does not meet with the ap-
prevail of Josef Holman, world
famous pianist who will appear as
soloist with the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra at Constitution
Hall, october 81.
Holman believes that the art
;st Is essentially a practical per-
son. Art, he says, requires the most
practical discipline. 1t demands
perfection which can only be
gained through discipline. Ger
tainly there is no more alert, vital
person in public life than this
stocky artist.
Never quite satisfied with his
work, Holman has been known
to say, following highly success
full concert: After a concert
come home and think. I think
mostly about how badly I have
played" He is sincere. He does
not strike attitudes because praise
has been consistently waited to
him from childhood when he made
his first European appearance at
the age of 9.
Writing of Hofmann's recent
Carnegie Hall concert, Pitts San
born, New York critic, said: "The
most amazing exhibition of piano
playing that even he has ever pro-
vided." Samuel Chotzinoff called
him the greatest pianist of our
time"
Josef Holman has a simple,
quiet manner. He talks rapidly
and cleverly, yet his most charac-
teristic pose, perhaps, is with
mouth tightly closed, chin lifted,
and his brilliant dark eyes with
their crinkly corners sweeping
across anything and everybody in
sight with a peculiarly penetrat-
ing glance.

Even the lovely figures nodded
close the bone may lose form in
this area. Between the two bony
projections Of the hips, there is
nothing but muscle. and a de-
termination to hold the abdomen
flat.
When these important line-con-
trolling muscles lose tone, you
lose your figure. So. you see, with
out corrective exercise and good
posture even the incest figures
grow dumpy in the middle.
Abdominal exercises are impor-
tant in every figure program.
Stocky girls must constantly ex-
erciSe these muscles, for, with an
increase in weight. fatty tissue
gravitates to this area; but active
muscles are immune to fat de-
posts. Thin girls who desire to
increase their calories to acquire
curves have practically the same
problem.
An increase in food makes it
necessary to plan an exercise pro-
gram to prevent the new weight
settling about the abdomen. Nor
NAL weights also need abdominal
exercise, otherwise these muscles
become lax, and no figure can be
lovely with lazy muscles.
Nature gave us nicely fitting
muscular girdles. Although they
never wear out, they will stretch
in all directions if the muscles
lose tone. AS long as the four
pairs of abdominal muscles are
kept strong, their coordinated &C
ton holds a youthful front line.
The abdominal muscles are sub
ject to reflex contraction in such
movements as stretching, hanging
from a bar, and in creeping move
ments, and they are also strength
ened through forcible contraction
of the abdominal wall. The fol-
lowing exercises are based on
these principles:
Exercise
Position: Standing on the
knees, arms outstretched over
head.
Movement: Keeping the back
nice and straight, sit down slowly
on your heels-slowly. Feel the
pull on those muscles? Now, re-
tracing the abdominal muscles
drawing them in and up), bend
over and touch your head to the
floor. This movement involves a
reflex action. Perform this eX-
ercise not over three times daily
the first week, then increase to
ten times.
Exercise 2
Position: Standing on knees,
arms at sides, abdomen drawn in
and up.
Movement: Bend the head, raise
right knee and touch forehead.
Lower to floor and stretch right
leg straight out in back, right arm
out in front at the same level as
the extended leg, and with the
chin raised. Perform five times
with the right leg, then five with
the left leg. Later increase to 10
times with each leg. You should
feel the pull from fingertips to
toes when the final stretching
movement is executed.
Abdominal exercise must be
regular-daily or twice daily, for
it takes consistent effort to tone
flabby muscles. Also, right along
with your exercise programs, i'm
prove your posture.
BY consistently making the eff
fort to hold the lower abdominal
wall up and in, you not only
strengthen these muscles but do
