 Revolutionary Ideas
 From almost the beginning of his literary life in 1892, Gorky worked revolutionary ideas into his books. His favorite character was the man in revolt against society When he turned directly to anti government socialistic propaganda he was cast several times into prison. After one term in jail at Riga in 1905 he spent practically eight years in exile.
 Visits America
 It was then that he made his only visit to America-the spring of 1906. At first he was met with an idols welcome. But then society learned that the Mine. Gorky" with whom he travelled, was really Mile. Androievea," and treated him as a social outcast. New York hotels refused to admit him.
 He went back to Europe, bitter ly denouncing America. The fol- lowing year, Gorky, then staying at Capri, Italy, married Mile. An droievea.

SPORT SLAN1S

Choose a baseball career, young man-if you have the stuff.
 So advises Uncle Billy" DiSch 6l, baseball coach at the University of Texas. And he should know whereof he speaks-for he has giv- en most of his life to the game.
 William J. Disch is the grand old man of baseball to Texas fans. His Longhorns have won something like 2l Southwest conference titles in the 25 years they have been under his guiding hand.
 Baseball offers as many oppor- tunities to young man equipped for the sport as law. engineering and other professions, in proportion to the number who participate says Disch. ''The salaries in most in- stances are better, and while a base ball career is comparatively short, a player who uses judgment is well taken care of when his active play ing days are over"
 Younger players, says Disch, have easier sailing today than when he started his career.
 The older players are more will ing to help the youngsters than be- fore he explains. When I hit the diamond back in '97 I had to know my baseball or get out, be- cause the veterans had little use for a green rookie. Even the um- pires delighted in calling bad ones on us to see if we could take it. If we did, and handed something just as good back at them we were regulars"

 Baseball offers an opportunity to combine intellectual talents with physical ability, Disch adds, contin- uing:
 The game is mentally stimulat- ing to one who is really interested in it and is one of the best forms of exercise"
 Baseball players, Disch declares, are neither born nor made. They are developed He opines:
 "The ball player needs both a rugged physique and brains. He must have an even temperament, and, of the three, I believe the last IS most important Many a good player has failed to reach stardom because he lacks the proper tenn pe1 emenL.'

State Police To
Render Ambulance
Service In Counties
Emergency Illness And Acct
dents To Receive Attention
Without Question Or Delay

The following is copied from an
article which appears in the January
1886 issue of the Monthly Bulletin of
the Maryland State Department of
Health:
The following regulations regarding
the use of the Maryland State Police
Ambulances for the transportation of
INDECENT sick in the Counties of Mary
land, have been announced by Maj
or Enoch B. Carey, Superintendent
of the State Police.
1. Persons injured in accidents or
an emergency illness are to be trans
ported to nearest physicians office
or hospital without question or de-
lay, unless a qualified physician, a
member of the family, or the injured
person refuse such service. In the lat
ter even, such refusal must be clearly
understood so that the Department is
free of all responsibility for such ac-
ton.
2. In the event OF a catastrophe of
any kind, such as fire, the ambu-
lance should respond, if in the opin-
49,, &c +L,o .o.,so,. off;oo,, ~ oboro.o of
the sub-station, there is reasonable
possibility of serious injury. 1t is
necessary to use discretion here, so
that too many needles trips are
avoided.
8. Sickness: In case of ordinary ill
ness, the form supplied for such
cases must be executed by the at
tending physician or by the County
Health Officer requesting ambulance
service.
(No such case shall be handled I'M
less reasonable assurance is given the
sub-station commander that the pa
tient is financially unable to pay for
services of a private ambulance.)
These completed forms should be
forwarded Immediately to the Depart
ment Physician, at Headquarters.
They will be approved or disapproved
promptly by telephone.
No case of infectious or contagious
disease shall be transported without
the approval of the County Health
Officer and the Department Physician
first having been obtained.
The service is handled at present
from seven stations: Cumberland,
Laurel, Easton, Waldorf, Conowingo,
Bel Air and Baltimore City. 1t is av-
ailable for County Department of
Health use only when no other means
of transportation can be secured. No
additional equipment is contemplated
in the near future"

RURAL FIRES

Just why men will work and slave for years to acquire
home and then not work little harder to provide ade
quae protection in of fire difficult to understand
If you will take survey of farm homes you will find
small percentage of them provided with adequate
water supply in the house surrounding buildings
should catch fire.
In past years millions of dollars have gone in smoke
through this failure, oversight neglect what
choose to call it. Today good roads have brought
many rural within reach of town fire departments,
and few rural communities have their volunteer
frefghtng units. But modern equipment is useless
unless there is available supply of water.
Engineers of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
have been studying the question and they have prepared
some helpful suggestions for the rural resident anxious to
protect his property against fire. They will tell him
how to build pond cisern other reservoir for fire
protection how go about keeping constant storage
supply of at least 5000 gallons hand at all times enough
to extingush an ordinary fire if it is discovered in time
This information costs nothing and the actual work OF
providing water supply will cost little when compared
with the damage that fire do Here at the start OF
year would be fitting time, it seems, for rural resi-
dents to give the subject serious thought

Communicable Disease Report For 1885
Issued BY State Department Of Health
Pneumonia, WhoOpng Cough, Dphtheria And Rabbit
Fever Cases Considerably Less
Than Previous Year

1899 in Baltimore and 1898 in the
Counties; typhoid 472 cases, 70 in
Baltimore and 384 in the Counties,
and tuberculosis 1888 cases, 1861 in
Baltimore and 1927 in the Counties.
The totals for the same diseases in
1884 were: Syphilis, 1854, scarlet few
er, 3,193, typhoid fever, 416, and tu-
berculosis 1880. The larger totals for
both syphilis and tuberculosis were
regarded as due to the extension of
clinic service and to the more COM
plete reporting of both diseases,
rather than to an actual increase in
either diease.
A favorable side of the picture was
shown in the following reductions
Pneumonia, broncho and lober, from
3,073 cases in 1884 to 1912 in 1885;
whooping cough from $3.50 cases in
1884 to 1909 in 1885; diptheria from
sos cases in 1884 to APO in 1895; un-
dulant fever from 40 cases in 1884 to
SO in 1886, and tularomia rabbit few
