A GREAT COUNTRY

Citizens scarcely realize what wonderful country they
are living in You eat supper at home and breakfast
1000 miles distant; something happen one hour and
you hear all about it in the hour by radio You
can step into after breakfast and eat the next
meal in different state You can talk to friend 5000
miles away clearly and distinctly as if you were talking
that friend the back fence You can start
your Children in kindergarten and send them on through
lege without their leaving your state. These and
thousand other modern miracles make this the worlds
most wonderful country. But with all THAT deep mystery
still remains and Americans can't explain it. That is why
people who call themselves good Americans" still
insist on knocking" it. Some day that mystery may
be cleared up and the knockers kicked out And then it
will be still greater country

Health Department
Makes Its Report
For Past Month
New Clinics Operating In
County; Cooperation
Stressed

The following report of the Mont
gomery County Health Department.
for the month of August has been
submitted by DR.. V. L. Ellicott,
county health officer.
Syphilis Program-The new clinic
for syphilis in the Damascus School
has proved highly successful. This is
being conducted by DR.. M. M. Boyer,
assisted by Mrs. Troy, Health De-
partment Nurse. The attendance is
already as large as the Rockville
clinic One instance at the clinic has
already illustrated that it is prac-
ticable measure to find the source of
infection of the patient and to pro-
tect the community by treating and
curing the person who was the source
as well as the person who was in
fected.
The opening of the proposed clinic
in Silver Spring will be postponed
until sometime in November because
Mrs. Johnson, the Health Department
Nurse in that area will be absent for,
two months studying public health in
| Baltimore.
Dental Clinic-Plans for operating
the dental clinic during the coming
school year are being drawn up. 1t is
expected that the clinic will be open,
on four day per week schedule. If
funds are not sufficient, the schedule
will have to be reduced during the
winter. DR.. Sharpley will also be
available this year and will be assist
ed by Mrs. Sharpley.
The principle change in the plan OF
the clinic will be that of having DR..
Sharpley visit the schools to inspect
the children and select them for clinic
treatment.
Orthopedic Clinic = Preparations
are being made for holding the second
orthopedic clinic at the County Hos
)ital at Olney on Thursday, Septem-
Der 3rd.
Fourth of July Accidents-Follow-
ing a report that fire works casual
ties in Baltimore showing an alarm
ing increase on the Fourth of July
this year, QUESTIONABLE was sent to
physicians of Montgomery County.
Thirty-one county accidents were re-
ported as having resulted from tire
works, one of which was fatal. A
large number of burns were reported
following fire crackers exploding in
hands.
Milk Sanitation-Sanitary inspec-
tors have reported slight falling off
of sanitary standards on dairy farms.
This has been partly due to improp-
per cooling in hot weather, the tenn
perature of spring water in most
places being not cool enough to pre-
vent multiplication of bacteria. A
tendency was also noted of neglect to
heat water for cleaning utensils.
Program Meetings-On account OF
the absence from the county of many
persons invited to meetings to dis
cuss the county's health program,
these meetings, approximately ten in
number, could not be started in
August.
Sanitary Survey-The people Of
Kensington are to be congratulated
on the thorough survey of sanitary
conditions which is being conducted
by the local health officer, DR.. Chap

In the remote, little visited areas
of southeastern Utah and northern

ruins left by vanished, prehistoric
people. TIE ruins are unquestion-
ably old, possibly dating back 1000
to 5000 years. The evidences Of the
use of color by these people are nu-

of colored pottery and photographs
on the walls of caves and cliffs.
These photographs are primitive

PROBATION Of OIL
IN TEXAS POLITICS
Election Saturday to Decide
Future Of Production

By the Associated Press.

AUSTIN, Tex, August 2o.-Ths
campaign for membership on the
Texas Railroad Commission. involving
the future Of proration in the Nations
largest oil-producing state, was
watched by Midcontinent oil leaders
this week.
Ernest o. Thompson, chairman Of
the commission, is up for renomina.
ton, tantamount to election, in the
Democratic run-on primary next SAT-
urday. His opponent. Frank Morris
Of Dallas, promised to change the
States proration policy II elected and
would be In position to carry out that
promise because the commission has
been divided 2 to /.
Oil men In other States generally
approved the commissions efforts to
hold production close to market de.
mand estimates Of the United States
Bureau of Mines. Morris contended.
however, that the huge East Texas
field should be permitted greater pro.
duction. He argued that the commits.
sion's program benefited the major oil
companies, was running the indepen-
dents and was causing higher gasoline
prices.
Commissioner Lon A Smith stumped
for Morris, and Commissioner c. v.
Terrell for Thompson. Thompson led
by wide margin in the first primary.
The commission completed its
monthly proration hearing Monday in
less than an hour. Thompson COM
mented on the harmony among oil
men attending. A few years ago, the
hearings frequently lasted two days
or longer.
The number Of new wells in Texas
each week usually has exceeded that
for the rest Of the Nation combined.
The commission faced the prospect Of
having less production to prorate
among the wells because of declining
gasoline consumption after this
month.

JURY FIGHT GOES
TO HIGHEST COURT
Decision on Rights of U. S.
Employees to Serve Due
in November.

The justices of the Snpreme Court
today took under consideration an ap-
peal filed to test the right of Govern
ment employees to serve on criminal
jurieS here.
Their desicion, expected early in
November, will be Of great importance
to Washington, since 1t will decide the
eligibility as jurors of some 100 900
Federal workers. Government counsel
pointed out in their arguments that
officials in the District heretofore have
experienced difficulty in securing COM
petent jurors because of the disqualifi-
cation of Government employees.
The appeal grew out of the convic-
ton in Police Court of Raymond
Wood on petty larceny charges. I'm
der authority Of q law passed last
year by Congress, the trial judge per-
mitted several Federal employees to sit
on the jury.
Wood appealed, contending he had
been deprived of his constitutional
right to a trial by an impartial jury
since the Government employees might
be Influenced by the fact that their
employer-the United States-was a
party to the case.
The United States Court Of Appeals
agreed with Wood and reversed the
conviction. The Government, through
Assistant Attorney General Brien
Mcmahon. carried the case to the
Supreme Court. where Wood was rep
resented by Attorneys William E.
Leahy and Robert I. Miller.
