TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

Oct. 10, 1781-TWelVe days after
ward, The New York Packet pub
lished its first story of the surrender
of Lieut.. Gen. Earl CORVALLIS with
5000 British troops, to Lieut.. Gen.
George Washington commander-in-
chief of the allied forces of France
and America, at Yorktown. Elk
cerpt:
commissioners were appointed to
adjust the etiquette of the capitula-
ton; the Viscount de Noailles, and
Lieut. 'Coi. Laurehs, aide-de-camp
to the commander-in-chief, on the
part of the allied army, and Col
Dundas and Maj. Ross, aide-de-camp
to Lord CORVALLIS, on that of the
enemy. Today, about one o'clock,
the articles were signed and inter-
changed, and about two p. M, the
British garrison of York, led on by
Gen. O'Hara, Gord CORVALLIS being
indispOsed) were conducted by Gen.
Lincoln through the combined army,
drawn up in two lines to a field,
where, having grounded their arms,
and stripped off their accoutrements.
they were reconducted through the
lines, and committed to care of
guard.
"At the same time and in the same
manner the garrison of Gloucester
was surrendered to the command of
the Duke de Lauzun Previous to
this, detachment of French, and
one of American troops, took posses
sion of the British horn works, and
planted on the epaulements the
standards of the two nations. The
brilliant appearance of the allied
army, the joy which diffused itself
from rank to rank, contrasted with
the modification, the dependence.
and unsoldiery behavior of the Brit
ish troops, formed one of the most
pleasing prospects a patriot can be-
hold, or even his fancy depict"
CORVALLIS sickness was feigned
and Washington refused to accept the
capitulation from a subordinate. So
it's inaccurate for historians to saw
CORVALLIS surrendered to Washing
ton.
The surrender virtually won the
Revolution and independence for this
republic. Yet a sudden change in
weather was all that prevented Corn

fanatic and an official of the Toy
Fair, l have unearthed some data
which tickles me and may do the
same to you. 49,
At the moment hundreds of citizens
some of them veteran game thinker
uppers, are twisting their forelocks
in an effort to devise new games. But
predicting the smash hits is beyond
even the old-timers
George S. Parker, who has author
ed more hit games than George S.
Kaufman, has authored hit shows, re-
piled to a query
you can tell that a game is good
fun, easy to learn, novel and prac-
teal to manufacture. These qualities
assure a fair sale, but there is no
way I know Of diagnosing in advance
a game that is going to be craze"
Amateurs face long odds. But Char
lie barrow, the young heating con-
struction engineer of Philadelphia,
who developed Monopoly during a
long, unemployed winter, should offer
encouragement to the tyros. He has
bought a manor house with the pro-
ceeds and squires it luxuriously on his
country estate while waiting for his
new invention a Wall Street game to
be issued.
Miss Willard, whose researches have
gone back hundred years into game
history, tells me that every parlor di-
version has taken two years to reach
a sales peak-unlike dress fashions
which whirl in and out in a few brief
months.
Although barrow perfected Mono
ply, the basic patent for the game
was taken ont in 1924 by white-hair
ed Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips, whose pas
sion for the Henry George single tax
Utopia prompted her. The game orr
ginally was intended as sort Of pro-
paganda for her and Mr.. Georges no
tions-Sut know of no one who has
gone single tax after tilt with Mo-
nopoly However, Mrs. Phillips is al
so in clover on the royalties and must
perforce worry more about the income
tax than the single tax.

He had secretly assembled boats and
had most of his troops embarked,
prepared to make a break down the
James river and through the French
blockade, while a dummy force re-

At the critical moment, the weather

There is evidence the beseiging

With reenforcements which were
on their way from New York, Corn
wallis could have avoided a similar
enlightenment elsewhere and might
even have turned the tables on his
antagonists
CORVALLIS outlived the humiliation
OF his surrender, one of the greatest
inisfortunes ever to 'befall British
arms. He personally opposed British S
use of force in America, and accept
ed the command against the Revolu-
tionists only because it was a SOL
oierS duty. All the rest of his life
was spent in endeavoring to subdue
unwilling subjects of his king in In
dia and Ireland.

IT'S TRUE

You're wrong if you believe catgut
comes from the intestines of cats. It
is derived chiefly from sheep. ORR
ginally the phrase was cattlegut.
Only 1920 men were killed or
wounded in all the years of the Anne
rican Revolution, and this includes
all the American, French, British and
German forces. That's fewer than
the automobile accident victims in the
country in a month or two.
Soon after the Revolution broke
out, the faces of Kings and queens
en- playing cards were replaced with
portraits of Washington, Franklin
and other patriots; but approximations
players refused to use them. Instead
they bought bootleg cards bearing
kings and queens.

CURRENT YEAR
SMNWS DECREASE
IN A DISEASE
Typhoid Shows IS Cases AS
Compared With Other Per-
iOds Of Same Length

With So cases of typhoid reported
in the State during the first six
months of the current year, as COM
pared to IS in the corresponding per-
iod of 1885, 124 in 1884, 113 in 1888,
and 143 during the first six months
of 1882, the place of honor, so far as
a new low score is concerned, is CIV
en- to that disease, in the report of
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, of the incidents
of communicable diseases in the State
from January l to June 80 of this
year.
Summarizing the report, DR.. Riley
said. "In spite of the menace of ty-
phoid as an after effect of the de-
structive floods of March and April,
we have the smallest number of cases
53-recorded during any correspond
ing six months period. 1t will be re-
called that disease prevention meas
ures, notably widespread immuniza-
ton against typhoid, chlorination or
other disinfection of water supplies,
and orders that all potentially unsafe
drinking water be boiled before using
were Immediately applied in all Sec
tions of tie State endangered by the
floods. These emergency measures
supplemented the steady fight that is
being waged throughout the counties
against typhoid at all times, through
sanitary measures by immunization
against the disease and by the discov-
cry and supervision of carriers. The
cumulative effect of all Of these ac-
tivities is reflected in the favorable
record for the current six months.
However this doesn't mean that we
can relax in any of our efforts. Be-
cause of the nature Of typhoid, the
insidiousness of the methods of attack
and especially of the possibility of the
transmission of che infection through
unknown or recognized carriers, there
can be no possible let up in the pre-
cautionary measures against the di-
sease.
"Of the So cases reported during
the first six months this year, II oc-
Cured in Baltimore City and sc in the
Counties. Six counties-Carroll, &C.
Gil, Howard, Prince Georges, Queer
Anne's and Somerset-came through
the six months without having 6

them"
