So Ends The Story

Bob Mcnamara S lace is reu-ol
it isn't, it should be. All these
weeks he's been accusing various
of his friends of purloining his
derby hat, and his friends have
been denying vehemently that they
would want the thing. Now the
hat has been returned to Bob in
good condition. 1t was found in
his own office by one of his own
office force. Somebody probably
has been using it for an ash tray.

Shades OF The Ancients--
No sir, Patrolman Roy Dupont of
the ECPD will tell you, these
tangled motor cars will never
take the place of horses. You just
try his job once. and you'll agree
with him, too. Roy's duty called
him Thursday night to the 1400
block on Woodward avenue, where
couple of stray horses were
making good pasturage on sundry
front lawns. Roy tried to herd them
by automobile first, and discovered
that mode of transportation too
unwieldy Next he tried footwork
but somehow or other the animals
were too speedy for him. Roy re-
ported back to headquarters in dis
gust You've got to fight fire with

contends.
The Paternal Instinct

Aently by the sight of Burt Un-

about in front of his place of bus
mess. The fond way in which he
handles the contrivance, one wit
ness believes, indicates that it may
have originated in the Underwood

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
help MOSQUITO CONTROL

The Worcester County Commission
ers have shown a most commendable
interest in the welfare of their fell
low-countians, by an appropriation of
$1,000 made to continue the activities
of the various mosquito camps in the
county.
Assurances came to the Commits
sioners that unless subsidies were pro-
vided for these camps, the various
bitches could not be kept open, since
the very existence of the camps was
involved.
1t is useless to comment that the
mosquito pest is one great drawback
to the development of this section of
the country; ard if anything can be
done to alleviate the suffering caused
by these mites, any money spent to
bring it about, should be most cheer
fully expended.

INSTRUCTS INTERVIEWERS

Congressman Goldsborough is re-
questing those who desire personal in
terviews with him to call at his office
in Denton between 200 and $3.50 in
the afternoon.
He is also suggesting it would be
much more satisfactory to those de-
string to see him if they would make
appointments with him either by tele-
phone or by mail, as otherwise those
calling upon him often have to wait
some time before he can see them.
Mr.. Goldsborough states that his
work in preparing for necessary gen
eral legislation for the ne xt Congress
and the answering of his correspon-
dence makes it in the general interest
of all his constituents that he system
atize his work as above indicated.
Mr.. Goldsborough states that if

terview.

Dear Dance Patron:

Dear Dance Patron:
With regard to the dance this Xmas
night, we consider ourselves very for
tunate in securing the services of
Frank Pinkerton and his orchestra of
Philadelphia. Everyone on the Shore,
I am quite sure, knows the capabili
ties of Frank as a musician and quite
naturally the remaining members of
his band are musicians of the highest
caliber.
This band plays in Philadelphia
most of the time, having engagements
at Bellevue Stratford Hotel, Walton
Hotel, and other places where dance
music extraordinary is required. Our
Dance Committee decided at the be-
ginning of our Legion Year that they
would obtain the best musical talent
available and we shall adhere to that
decision; but, of course, in order to
do so, we must have the support of
cur dance patrons. We however feel
quite sure you appreciate our efforts
to enable you to have a good time and
will give us just as good attendance
Xmas night as you did Thanksgiving
Night.
With best of wishes for a Merry
Xmas, we are:

WARNS AGAINST
DISEASED GAME
Be Sure Healthy Specimens OF
Rabbits Are Taken In Gun
ming Expeditions
TULAREMIA NOT FOUND
AMONG THE RABBETRIES

"Be sure you bag only healthy
specimens when you go cunning for
rabbits" is the advice of DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health to hunters and to all
who have any occasions to handle wild
rabbits.
"Avoid the animal" he continued
'that moves slowly and seems stupid
or dazed. That is the kind that is
likely to be diseased and to be car
rier of the germs that cause rabbit
fever in human beings. The disease
is spread from animal to animal thru
the bite of infected ticks. Human
beings contract it in handling or skin
ming diseased rabbits; in crushing in
fected ticks, through the bite of the
ticks, and also through biting flies.
rabbit fever-or tularemia, to give
it its scientific name-has been known
to hunters and market people for
long time. But it was thought to be
some other Diseases form Of in
fluenza or pneumonia or possibly of
typhoid fever. 1t was not until the
cause and method of transmission of
the disease were definitely establish
ed by DIR. G. w. Mccoy and DIR. Ed
ward Francis of the United States
Public Health Service, that it was
recognized as being due to specific
infection. The name tuaremia is de-
rived from that of the Counties in
California in which some Of the dis
coveries regarding the diseases, were
made.
To avoid Rabbit Fever:
bag only healthy animals.
"Don't handle the game with bare
hands, when preparing the meat for
market or for the table. Use rubber
gloves.
"Do not allow open cut or scratch
to come in contact with the rabbits.
Keep your hands away from your face
and your eyes. The infection ma
terials can be absorbed through mere
scratch or break in the skin.
"Burn the paper or other wrappings
that have been in contact with the
game.
"Cook all rabbit meat thoroughly.
$50 far the disease has been found
principally in wild rabbits. 1t has not
been found in rabbits raised in rab-
bitries. Thorough cooking of the
meat destroys the germs.
"Tularemia was placed on the list
of reportable diseases in Maryland
in 1928. Since then 1913 cases and 21
deaths from the diseases have been
recorded in the State-1O6 cases and
9 deaths in the counties; 81 cases and

QN.SO. In words that might
explain a typical Hollywood night
life tragedy was written today, in
the trembling hand Of an 81-year-
old woman, the story of why she
cut the throat of her 91-year-old
husband and then hanged herself.
Mrs. Anna Johnson after she
slew Charles Johnson, her mate
of so years, wrote:
"He has been untrue to me
all our married life. For 40 years
he has been chasing around
with other women"
johnson, an invalid, barely able
to walk, was killed with the razor
with which his devoted wife had
just finished shaving him. The
aged woman then committed sui
eide in the garage.
Children and grandchildren of
the couple were agreed that Mrs.
Johnson'S mind had snapped as
johnson had been virtually bed
ridden for many years.
