Of the 1885 legislative act which en-
ables them to pool their financial
resourcee and to obtain financial
aid for the establishment Of sani-

Under the state law, local health

impossible to find available persons
of this description, and this has re-
suited in appointment Of officers In
some towns who do not meet sta
tutory requirments. The 1895 Gem
eral Assembly decided to rectify this
station and passed law allowing
towns, cities and boroughs to unite
to form a single health district.
Towns entering such combinations
will receive financial aid which will
match their own expenditures for
health work, SO that any COM
munity which epends $4,000 to 5000
annually will find itself In COM

Improvement In Ford
Truck Sales Is Noted

Substantial improvement in general
business is reflected in the increase
in Ford V-8 commercial car and truck
sales during 1886, according to re-
ports of official registrations of these
units received at the home offices of
the Ford Motor Company.
The Ford volume of trucks and
commercial cars for the whole year
was 44.9 per cent greater than in
1884. The volume for December was
up more than 116 per cent over the
previous December.
Registrations of new Ford trucks
and commercial cars in 1885 totalled
185,848 units as against 1926 units
in 1884. The 1885 volume represented
1854 per cent of the entire volume of
the industry. In 1884 Ford accounted
for 31.8 per cent of the industry total.
Ford's increase in 1885 volume over
1884 of 44.9 per cent compared with
a general Improvement for the indus
try of 26.4 per cent.

Fall Sales Of Cars
Not Seen AS Break
On Spring Prospects

Just now, when the eyes of the
automotive world are focused on signs
tending to verify earlier predictions
of a busting 1886 Spring business. il
is interesting to follow A vanDerZee,
general sales manager of the Dodge
Division of Chrysler Corporation,
through an analysis of the factors on
which he bases his own outlook on
the subject.
I'VE know Of course that prospect
ty has finally turned the corner-stil]
bit anemic, perhaps, yet good to
behold" observes vanDerZee in pre-
facing his statement. "The brightest
reflection of returning normalcy has
OF course been cast by the automobile
industry whose greatly quickened
1885 activities put heart into many
enterprises not necessarily allied with
the motor car business.

"Windfall" Is Regarded
Good Luck to Peasants

In the year 1866, William, duke of
Normandy, led his forces into England.
His cousin, Edward the confessor, king
of England, had died, and the oppor-
4tunity Of adding to his dominion could
not be overlooked by the ambitious
young William.
In the battle Of Hastings, Harold,
the other contestant for the throne,
was killed. Thus William became rul-
er Of England. He set about remak-
ing the laws of the land and succeed
ed in putting into effect many excel
tlspt ideas
From this time dates our express
sion of "windfall" in reference to a
piece Of good luck, notes writer in
the Washington Star. Under the laws
Of William, it was a criminal offense
to cut down timber In the forests. The
poor people, therefore, were allowed
to pick up for their fires only the
branches which had been brought down
by the wind. A windstorm, bringing
a "windfall," was always welcomed by
the peasants as good luck, and in this
sense we use the phrase. .

Anne Nichols AT
Maryland Theatre
All Next Week

Anne Nichols is bringing a new
comedy, entitled "Her Week End" to
Baltimore TO rome week prior to its
New York premiere. 1t will be pre-
scented at the Maryland Theatre COM
mencing Monday night, (March 23rd)
and performances will be given night
ly with matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday.
Miss Nichols is probably best re-
membered as the author and producer
of the celebrated "Abie's Irish Rose"
which established a worlds record for
gross receipts and length of run. Fol-
nearly six years "Abbie" went traps
ing about the country, performing
continuously throughout winter and
summer, rain or shine, with some
times as many as eight companies
working at the same time. And as if
this were not enough, Miss Nichols
assumes the personal responsibility
for sending companies into Canada,
Australia and England. When last
hear from there was one company
still touring Australia.
"Her Week End" concerns itself with
two working girls, one seeking ro-
nance, the other wanting wealth and
social position. Their combined search
for happiness involves representatives
of the working class, the United
States Senate, the idle rich and the
journalistic world before Miss Nichols
rings down the curtain on this anus
ing comedy.
The cast of important New York
players engaged to present "Her
Week End" includes Jessie Royce
Lands, who recently succeeded Judith
Anderson in "The Old Maid" during
its stay at the Empire Theatre, New
York; Carol Stone, talented daughter
of the famous Fred Stone; Hancey
Castle, James Spottswood, Damian
.O'Flynn, Alfred Kappeler and Thomas
Dillon.
So that Baltimore playgoers will
see a smooth performance, Miss
Nichols has booked "Her Week End"
in Princeton and Wilmington before
opening it here. Following its en-
gagement at the Maryland the comedy
goes to Philadelphia and thence to
New York.

Sense of Smell in Fishes

their food. Scientists, however, have
NOT been able to determine accurately

sense organs. 'From what Is known
al present." wrote the United States
bureau Of fisheries to an inquirer, at
Is believed that the sense of smell,
along with that of touch, plays a
greater role in the life Of a fish, as
iar as obtaining It's food is concerned,

others are carved out of the rocks and
have not been positioned. They vary
in size from few feet to almost forty

or who were the sculptors, says the

lation of the island. few hundred Of

as those who fashioned the statues, no
