DR.. H. w. McComas, because of ex-
perience with numerous runaway hors-
es, applied for patent on an invention
of hollow swingle tree, which in some
manner, by the use of springs, could
be released from the shafts when the
horse desired to run away. By an ar

the crupper. To keep the tongue from
running into the ground another bar
was to be used to hold it in place.

Lake Park than in any previous season.

before 1886, was the following item:
General Grant went to Deer Park to
spend the summer.
Selbysport citizens asked the county
commissioners to build a three mile
road from Selbysport connecting with
the National highway at Watsondale,
Pa.
Oakland as community, had no
Fourth of July celebration.
The dust on the road between the
Park and State road at Weber's was
said to be suffocating and travellers
were urged to take the back road to
the Park from Oakland.
Mrs. Charles Harvey, Mt. Lake Park,
was injured when Mr.. Harvey's car col
lided with another car driven by John
Augustine, at Addison, Pa.

A Retired Teacher And Superinten-
dent OF Schools Suggests That The
American Voters Study The History
Of Our Country So That They May
Cast Their Ballots Intelligently.
To the Editor of The Republican.
AS retired teacher and superin-
tendent of schools, may I request that
you invite the attention Of your read
ers, especially of the chairmen of the
Republican and Democratic County
Committees, to the following advice
by party leaders relative to the con-
duct of this campaign:
(1) In his Jackson Day address last
January, President Roosevelt advised
every citizen to constitute himself
a committee Of one to get the facts
and study the issues before US.
(2) Ex-president Hoover, in his adj
dress at st. Louis, Mo-, December G,
1885, speaking particularly to young
men and women, said:
81 have but one suggestion. That
you study the history of your coun-
try. That you survey its scene today.
That you debate every phase of this
Government. That you carry this de-
bate to every street corner, every
school house, every shop, and every
counting room. What you decide will
be final for our Country"
A political campaign on these lines
would be truly educational. But bar
rels of ink and millions of words will
be used by politicians to confuse the
voters.
Let US get the facts and insist that
both sides be presented face to face.
Then we can decide this important
campaign intelligently.
Very truly your,
CHARLES E. HOVE.

PRE-SCHOOL EXAMINATION
IN HEALTH A TIME SAVER
Be Sure Children Are In Best
Possible Condition Physically

Health conferences for the eXamina-
ton Of prospective first graders in
preparation for their admission to
school in the fall are under way in
every part of the State. If your Jack
CT Betty will reach school age this
year, and is among those who will
start on the road to the three RS in
the fall, don't wait until the end Of the
summer to make the necessary prepa-
rations. First of all, be sure the chill
dren are in the best possible condition
physically. Take them to your own
doctor for complete physical check
ing up. If you haven't a doctor, find
cut from your County Health Off
Ger when and where the child health
conferences are being held-and have
Jack Of Betty examined at the nearest
child health conference. This is the
composite advice of DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health and of the County Depart
ments of Health and of Education.
"The examination of children be-
fore they enter school," DR.. Riley ad-
ded, sis very important part of their
introduction to school life. The school
records show that children in good
health complete their school work
more readily and make better progress
than those do who are hampered by
i'll health, bad eyes, dull hearing OF
some other unfavorable condition.
"In the pre-school examinations
particular attention is paid to GER
tain points that have a direct bear
ing upon the general health and nor
NAL growth of the child-such as the
child's weight, posture, heart, lungs,
hearing, vision, condition of the nose
and throat, and of the teeth.
prompt discovery and correction Of
unfavorable conditions will help to
safeguard a child against avoidable
physical handicaps. In that respect
| these pre-school examinations become
both health conservers and time saw
ers.
Don't forget that both Jack and
Betty just be vaccinated against
smallpox before they can be enrolled
in any public school in the State. If
they have not been protected against
diphtheria, take them to your doctor
and have that done, also, before they
start to school.
Vaccination against smallpox is
compulsory. 1t is required by oul
State law. AS a result of the careful
enforcement of this law we hear very
little about smallpox in Maryland and
1--we have to remind parents that chill
dren who have not been vaccinateC
twill be excluded from the schools. We
have had only one case of smallpox in
Maryland in five years, but the dis.
ease is very prevalent in other parts
of the country, especially in sections
where vaccination is not required
Anybody who has not been vaccinated
is likely to contract the disease if ex-
posed to it."
