opinion of John ]. Lacey of Chicago,

convinced farmers of all sections of
the country of the need for strong
organization if agriculture is ever to
get it's fair share of the national in
come, Mr.. Lacey told 100 Maryland
leaders in two meetings here.
"The greatest increase in organiza-
ton strength is coming in the cotton
and tobacco areas of the South" Mr..
Lacey reported. Farmers in these
sections learned the value of working
together under the AAA program
and are determined that the progress
made in agriculture shall not be lost.

FACTS

The following data concerning in
juries received in Fourth of July ac-
cidents caused by fireworks, in the
counties of Maryland, in 1885 are
taken from the records of the State
Department of Health. They serve as
the "text" of warning from DIR. R.
H. Riley, Director of the Department,
against the irresponsible use of fire
works and other explosives, involving
risk to life and limb, in this years
celebration of the birthday of the
nation.
Following the unusually large num-
Der of Fourth of July accidents, last
year, physicians in the counties were
asked to send brief reports to the
State Department of Health of the
cases they attended. In response,
records were forwarded concerning
injuries to 88 persons. The accidents
occurred in the following counties:
Allegany, 16; Anne Arundel, 8; Bal
timore, FL; Cecil, 9; Dorchester, a;
Frederick, 5; Garrett, 1; Hartford, 6;
Prince Georges, 3; Talbot, 1; and
Washington County IA.
An equally unusual number of ac-
cidents occurred in Baltimore City.
Of the 88 persons in rural Mary
land, referred to in the figures which
follow, 81 were white and A colored.
Two were under five years old; IS
from to 9; % from 10 to ID; Is
from S to 10; % were 20 years old or
older; the age in three was not stated.
Here is what happened to them:
The hand or fingers were injured
in Al instances. One victim had to
have two fingers of the right hand
amputated as result of the injury.
The head and face were involved
in 25 cases. Six of these had injuries
to the eyes, with probable loss of the
eye in one case, and puncture of the
iris in another. The ear drum was
puhctured in one case.
The chest and abdomen were in
volved in 6 cases. The lung was pune
tured in one of the chest injuries.
Death resulted.
The foot and leg were involved in
l1l2 cases; the back in two; the arm
in two.
Injury due to burns was reported
in 80 instances; decorations in FL;
burns and decorations in IL; burns
and abrasions in 3. One death from
tetanus (lockjaw) resulted from one
of these injuries which was caused by
an exploding frecracker.
Eight of those injured had to be
treated in hospitals.
Largely as the result Of the cam
paign started number of years ago,
by the American Medical Association,
there have been fewer accidents from
Fourth of July fireworks" DR.. Riley
said, ethan formerly. But last years
list shows how readily such warnings
are disregarded and how frequently
they must be repeated.
"The figures speak for themselves
Every one Of these accidents was I'm
necessary. The facts are presented
herewith in the hope that they will
help to bring about saner, and GER
tainly safer, observance Of Indepen-
dence Day, this year"

sections, and pointed out that orga-
nized efforts to secure an agricultural
program had never been successful,
with sectional groups working at
cross purposes. The National Farm
leader also voiced approval of the in
creased activity of the Maryland or
ganization and it's plan for building
membership strength this year.

Former Grid Star
Ends Life

CHICAGO, Dec. 15-Despon-
dency over failing health was
blamed today for the suicide OF
Clarence B. "Hershie" Hersch-
berger. famed University Of Chi
cago football star Of the eos. He
ended his life last night BY 1nhal-
ing Illuminating gas. He was 60
years old.
Never weighing more than 1853
pounds in the days Of powerhouse
football, Herschberger was the first
player west Of the Atlantic sea"
board to make Walter Camps All
American team. Famed for his
place and drop kicking ability, he
was named fullback on Camps
1898 team. He played on Chicago's
football team in 1894, '96, '97 and
'98, and competed in baseball and
track as well, winning IS letters.
Herschberger and Captain Wal
ter Kennedy were blamed by
Coach A. A. Stagg for the loss Of
the Western Conference champion
ship in 1898 when the two players
allegedly staged a steak-eating
marathon the night before the
game with Wisconsin to decide the
championship. The marathon
ended in a dead heat, according
to the legend, and to prove his
superiority Herschberger consumed
13 eggs just before the game. Wis
conSin won 23 to 8.

Up to now, Francis Fitzgerald,
calm, of course, has spoken no
word to an official. Nor have
any of the Detroits, for all know
that Francis speaks only at the

it is decidedly necessary.
Up goes Francis Fftzgerald's

the Ref:

Would you mind were I to ask
you . question, Mr.. Referee?
This is not a foolish question,
Mr.. Referee, 1 am sure you
will agree, when you've heard
the question"
The Ref gladly gives his per
mission to be addressed by Fran
els Fitzgerald, captain of the De
troits. Up speaks Francis:
"Mr. Referee, it is not that I
question any decision you make.
Rather it is that 1 am some
what puzzled, and know you
will gladly aid me in solving
the puzzle. Mr.. Referee, you
just penalized us Detroits 10
yards. May I ask for what
reason you administered that
penalty ON us?"
The Ref comes back:
''Why, certainly Captain FitS-
gerald, I'm delighted to straight
en- you out in the matter. Your
team was set back 10 yards for
being Offside."
Captain Fitzgerald, still calm,
suave, and wholly pleasant, as
is his wont, says to the Ref:
ooh, / see. But then, Mr.. Ref.
cree, 1 was under the very dis
tinct impression that the penalty
for offside in football is yards.
Am I right or wrong about this?"
The Ref:
Captain, you're right about it.
But, you see, in this instance
two of the DetrOitS were OffSide,
30, the penalty is 10 yards"

marching down the field on
straight football.

In no time, and, rs say. on
straight football-nothing fancy.
Then, things begin to happen.
Back up the field toward the De
troit goal line go the Detroits, the
referee carrying the ball on every
play. In five plays, the referee
gains exactly Is yards for the
Bethanys, and the bali is on De
troit's 28-yard stripe, as the sports
writer's say.
Look To Fitzgerald
Now, the Detroits, big as they
are, know who is captain Of their
team. They look to Francis Fitz-
gerald, but Francis Is calm, as
usual, and Francis says nothing as
the referee plasterS on those three
fiveS and two fifteenS.
At a word Of command from
Fitz, the DetroitS start all over
again. With almost military pre-
ciSion, the DetroitS move down
the field, four, five and six at a
clip, using only off-tackle slants
and dead-Straight-ahead line
plunge. The first thing the spec

DetroitS are back on the 27.yard
stripe OF the Bethanys.
History, so it's said, repeats 1t.
self, and the referee (aided and

the ground for the BethanyS and
the ball is back on Detroit'S 2S-
