Rehearsals for the two Dramatic
Club presentations to be offerd to
the public early next month are be.
ing held during every spare moment.
BY the end Of next week it is expect
ed that the casts of the two plays
will be prepared to devote all re-
naming time to polishing move
ments and lines. Each production
depends almost entirely upon stage
business for it's effect, therefore,
strenuous period of rehearsal or in
cidentals has been planned.
Lincoln Haines and Adeleen Will
son, members of the Sophomore
class, are teamed in light, hilarious
family comedy. Haines portrays
highly intellectual, witty author
husband, and Miss Wilson, his ner-
vous, financially fretful, but hungry
wife. Ann Robertson lends admir-
able support in the role of the maid
who doesn't want a night off. Russell
Johnson, freshman, steps before
the lights for the first time as the
owner of telephone number which
complexities family life no little.
Freddy GRAPHICAL, diminutive actor
who scored a personal triumph in one
of last seasons productions, has the
role played by the famous Noel
Coward in 1912. GRAPHICAL is expect
ed to win new applause in this Bit
part which started Coward to fame.
Heading the cast of 1.-THE Pamper-
ed Darling" Virginia Drennen, as
hot-headed, wise-cracking young
beau-hunter, Jean Cullen, her older
sister who has been withdrawn from
circulation by an aspiring doctor,
and Abner Todd, the little brother
who always rocks the family boat,
promise to display historic talent.
Two other newcomers share honors
in this play, Josephine Ragan, girl
friend, and Harvey Townsend, the
surprise package of the show. In
addition, the cast includes the de-
pendable Catherine Keilholtz, Loren
Frye, John Williams, Gertrude Buck,
Ruth Biles, and Branson Frye.
Two striking sets, each greatly
different from the other, are being
planned and executed by John KEEP
pie, stage manager. Publicity is be-
ing handled by Ida Tome, Alice Carr,
and Lila Todd. Catherine Etter
serves as prompter for each play.

WHEN BANK CROOKS

$50 to 400 bank crooks every year, the

professional criminals often boast
of having sense enough to dodge the
far-reaching system of man hunting
available to members, so long as there
are other banks without this protec.
tion," it says. "They recognize that
once on the record Of the Associations
Protective Department. they must pay
for every crime with which they can
be identified. Detainer warrants have
followed them from place to place so
that penal servitude for one crime
would not expiate other offenses."

Editorial

A few months ago an article ap-
peared in the Scholastic, our current
events magazine, entitled "And Sud-
den Death" This article told of
some horrible automobile accidents
which had resulted from speeding,
carelessness and other things. Other
articles such as this one have aroused
people to the necessity of stopping
this death toll, which was tremendu-
GUS for the year 1895. Last week,
scholastic again discussed the ques-
zion of Sudden Death" due to auto
mobile accidents. A nationwide poll
as been taken and the results show
that people are beginning to realize
now serious this is. Each voter was
asked if he would favor the follow
.ng: (1) Stricter drivers test. (2)
installation of devices on car that
would cut off the power when a car
reaches a speed of SO miles per hour.
80 More severe penalties for viola
lions of traffic laws. (4) Special
markings for cars whose drivers have
oeen at fault in accidents 60 COM
pulsory automobile liability insurance
IN every state. CO. Uniform traffic
laws and regulations for all states.
Large majorities voted for all six of
.hese.
In our Junior and Senior history
classes a general discussion was held
On this topic. A vote was taken on
each of these six points. In both
classes No. 6 received the highest per
cent, while No. 2 received the lowest
per cent. 1t was interesting to note
now the vote of the students agreed
with that of the nationwide poll
The students should certainly profit
from the various points brought out
N this discussion.

NOT THE END
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Not the end when our loved ones leave
us,
Only just the beginning for them,
In that land of light and glory,
Eternity knowing no end.
Not the end, they are only beginning
Their glorious immortal career,
To be with their Lord, forever;
The warfare all over down here.
Not the end, but the dawning of morn
ing
In that City where cometh no night.
Scattered all gloom and all darkness,
For God Himself is the Light.
Not the end, there is no ending
OF the life hid with Christ in God.
Just going home to be with Him,
The comfort of His staff and rod.
Not the end when we cross over
Jordan,
And meet on that evergreen shore,
With the loved ones waiting our
coming,
Where partings can come never more.

HEALTH PROMOTION
Disease Prevention Activities In The
Counties OF Maryland

The wide range of the health pro-
motion and disease prevention activl-
ties carried on throughout Maryland
by the county departments OF health,
is indicated in report prepared by
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director OF the State
Department of Health, of the work
of the counties, in 1885. The ac-
tivities in each county are SUMMARY
ed with special reference to com
municable disease prevention or con-
troll; immunization against dlph-
iberia, typhoid and smallpox; the
care and supervision OF persons sui
fering from tuberculosis; attendance
at venereal disease clinics; the health
supervision of mothers and young
children; dental. care OF young chill
dren; medical examination and in
spection of school children; the sani-
tary supervision of food handling in
dustries, of tourist, labor and recle-
alton camps, and with respect to
other duties.
Under communicable disease con-
troll the report shows that IS, 424
cases of notitiable diseases were re-
ported to the State Department of
Health, from the counties, during
the year, and that over 10000 home
visits were made by the county
health officers and public health
nurses to discover sources of inlec-
ton, and to establish the necessary
protective measures to prevent the
spread of the diseases. Over $4,000
young children were immunlzed
against diphtheria, over 5000 per-
sons were protected against typhoid
fever and nearly 1000 were vac
cinated against smallpox. Ali pro-
tective measures of this sort were
undertaken with the cooperation OF
the practicing physicians.
Over 1900 visits were made to
the homes of persons suffering from
tuberculosis, or who had been in
contact with the disease. In CO.
operation with the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association all parts of the
State were reached by the monthly
chest clinics, of which 223 were held
during the year. Over 1900 per-
sons were examined at the clinics for
evidence of the disease; 1900 new
cases were added to those under
supervision, and $40 were placed in
hospitals or sanatoria.
Monthly prenatal clinics were held

CLEAN UP AND MoDERNIzE

Plans to extend the "Clean Up and
Modernize" campaign, which is being
conducted in Baltimore, have been
perfected, according to Henry w.
Webb, State Director of the Federal
Housing Administration. Efforts
will be made to interest the residents
of every town in Maryland in the
campaign, and home owners will be
asked to cooperate in making needed
repairs and alterations to their
homes.
Committees of civic-minded resi-
dents will be asked to serve on COM
mittees to further the work. 1t Is
anticipated that the work generated
for he building craftsmen and
artisans will total nearly two mil
lion dollars.

NOT FAR
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Not far to that Heavenly City,
Just over the narrow sea;
Not far, where they wait our coming /;
What a meeting some day that will
be.
Not far, to the many mansions,
And the streets that are paved with
gold;
Not far from the angel choir,
Blessed homeland of the soul.
Not far till the warfare Is over,
The last battle fought and won,
And the words from the King of Glory:
Thou good faithful servant, well
done"
Not far, weary not in we'll doing;
Press onward to the goal.
Not far away God is standing,
And all will be well with your soul.
Not far, not far, the scattering shades.
And daybreak in the sky.
The blessed immortal morning dawns,
With fairer worlds on high.

BUSINESS HAS STAKE IN FARM
PROGRAM

Business and industry should be
as interested in securing substitut"
for the recent agricultural adjust
ment program as agriculture, because
of the Importance of the buying
power of the farm market, in the
opinion of c. E. Wise, Jr., secretary
of the Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. Even with the help of the
AAA agriculture was not able to adj
just its production, because of the
nature farming, as well as industry
did during the depression, he said
in recent statement.
I'm 1882, industry dropped it's
PRODUCTION to SO per cent of 1929, and
was able to hold prices at Sc per
.ent of 1929" the Federation secre-
airy pointed out. but agriculture
lept on producing. 1t reduced pro-
iuction only six per cent, and as
result of over-production, prices
dropped So per cent"
Farmers need some method of adj
justing production so as to keep in
balance with industry, Mr.. Wise be-
lieves. Industry closed factories
and permitted unemployment to
bring on the problem of relief while
no such program was available to
farmers during depression years, he
said.
