Five Additional Spotted
Fever Cases Reported

Reports to the health department
of five additional cases in Montgom-
cry County bring the total this year
to six. While two of the cases are
quite severe, it is reported that all
will recover. In addition to these
cases another infection was reported
which had the symptoms and labora-
tory reaction of spotted fever, but
which had no eruption.
The danger of occurring spotted
fever this year is now rapidly dimin-
ishing as the tick season draws to a
close. 1t is, however, particularly
important to remove ticks from the
body at this time because ticks which
get on to the body near the end OF
the season attach themselves in less
time than those earlier in the year
The body should be searched care
fully before retiring, but particularly
the back of the neck and back OF
the head. Children should be searched
twice a day. Persons in contact
with shrubbery and long grasses
should wear leggings which keep
ticks from crawling up the legs on
the skin.

Family Homeless
AS Fire Ravages
With Water Lacking
Damascus Carpenter And 10
Others Have Narrow Escape;
Sunday Traffic damned

The family of Oliver Morgan Du-
vail, Damascus, carpenter, was made
homeless Sunday when it's residence
was almost consumed by fire. Most
of the belongings of the IL mem
bers of the family were destroyed.
Duvall was asleep on the second
floor of the home when the fire was
discovered late Sunday. Neighbors
had difficulty in awakening him as
the Flames crept toward his room.
He escaped down the back stairs.
Nine-year-old Gerald Duvall, who
was in front room on the first
floor, suffering from leg injury
incurred when he fell from a tri-
cycle, was carried from the burning
building by Francis Riddlemoser, of
Frederick, and Miss Sallie Cue, a
neighbor.
Neighbors and firemen of the
Gaithersburg Washington Grove
and Mount Airy Volunteer Fire De-
partments carried a few of the
pieces of household furniture from
the first floor, but were unable to
rescue the clothing and bedroom fur
niture on the second floor.
| The fremen were handicapped by
the lack of water. A hose was laic
from a pond a quarter of a mile
away, but the supply of water was
scant. Most of the front of the
house was burned away and the por-
ton left standing was not habitable
The building was owned by Mrs
R. N. Poole. Damage was estimated
at approximately $4,000.
Members of the family are Mr.
and Mrs. Duvall, Virginia Duvall
II; Paul Burton Duvall, 16; Robert
Duvall, 10; Edward Duvall, 10; Ger

''Fury" Termed Mighty
Drama, At The Milo

Sylvia Sidney and Spencer Tracy
are the brilliant co-stars Of Fury"
the mighty dramatic picture playing
tonight and Friday night at the
Milo Theatre.
The narrative has to do with the
tragic circumstances that separate
two young lovers on the eve Of their
marriage. Tracy, as the man, is
arrested as a kidnap suspect and
apparently burned to death by a
furious mob that storms and fires
the prison in which he is held. His
life wrecked, and his mind distorted
by the horror he has been through.
he goes into hiding and contrives
to have twenty-five of the mob con-
victed of his murder!
AS a hard hitting indictment Of q
national shame, "Fury" stands out
as one of the fine pictures of the
year, for it's power lies in its al
together objective approach to the
subject of mass lawlessness.
In addition to it's social value it is
a picture of stirring appeal; a ire
mendous screen story in every re
spect.

Surface Sealing
To Protect Roads
During The Winter
Howard and MOntgome cry
Among Counties To Benefit
From 1000 Mile Program

The work Of surface-sealing nearly
1000 miles of Maryland roads as q
protection against damage next win
ter was ordered to start this week.
Nathan L. Smith, chief engineer
of the State Roads Commission, said
the work started in a number Of
counties. Eighteen contracts, total
ing $185,136, were awarded.
Some of the contracts call for the
furnishing of the tar or asphalt a.
the sealing material, others call for
applying it and still OTHERS for both
services. Stone and Stag will be
spread thinly over the road before
the sealing material is applied.
DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chairman
of the commission, said the material
will close holes in the paving made
by traffic action. Water and melting
snow will then run off the road
surface rather than seep through to
the foundations. Lack of this pro-
lection allowed the foundations to
become saturated last year, he said,
SO that when freezing weather set
in the foundation became mushy and
permitted the paving to break and
crumble.
The cost of repairing the extraor-
binary winter damage last year was
$460,000, the commission said.
In addition to the sealing work,
the commissions new grading equip
ment is working daily to improve,
widen, scrape and facilitate drain
age.
The amount of money to be spent
and the number Of miles Of roads
to be surfaced in various groups Of
counties is:
Anne Arundel, Howard, Montgom-
cry, 1929 miles, $2s,4O6; Carroll,
Frederick, Washington, 1905, $685.
7O3; Allegany, Garrett, part Of
Washington, 149.24 miles, $2I ,130;
Calvert, Prince Georges, st. Marys.
Charles, 214.43 miles, $49,379.

Bankers Association
To Make Charge
For Small Accounts
Fee OF so Cents Will Be
Assessed When Balance Falls
Below $50; Four Banks
Involved

-Four Montgomery County banks.
members of the Montgomery County
Bankers Association, will charge a
fee on personal accounts when the
balance falls below $50, according to
an announcement made last week.
The institutions making the change
are the Montgomery County National
Bank, the First National Bank of
Gaithersburg, the Farmers Banking
and Trust Company of Montgomery
County and the Kensington Bank,
the latter a branch of the Farmers
Banking and Trust Company.
The following letter sent out to
patrons of the banks, explains the
reason for the change:
Dear Patron:
The undersigned Banks, members
of the Montgomery County Bankers
Association, have always invited
small accounts, and we are proud
of the many friends which this pol
icy has made. We recognize, how
ever, that with the higher cost all
along the line, business prudence
compels us to compare carefully the
cost of service with the earnings
derived from deposits.
A searching analysis of our check
ing accounts has shown that the
actual expense of handling many ac-
counts run far in excess of the in
come therefrom. To offset this loss,
without curtailing service, we have
decided to adopt on August 1st, 1886,
the service charges as listed below,
and we trust that you will look upon
our action as fair and equitable.
On any account, classified as per-
sonal, of which the balance falls be-
low the amount of $4,000 charge
of SOC will be made. This charge
will give the customer the right to
draw fifteen checks against his ac-
count. All over fifteen checks will
be charged against the customer al
the rate of two cents per check
Should there be no checks drawn
during the month no charge will b.
made.
Business accounts will be analysed
and if found Improbable a servic'
charge will be made.
Strictly charitable organization
will be exempt from any service
charge.
The interest paid on savings &C
counts Is deemed to be the maximum
return which the Bank can give, ant
accordingly, balances on savings &C
counts cannot be considered in an
alyzing checking accounts.
Other Member Banks of the Mont
gOmery County Bankers Association
operating In the Metropolitan Area
have already established similar serv
Ice charges and we believe that thes
service charges are only fair agains
, any account operating at a loss. Tn
officers Of the undersigned Bank
win gladly answer any questions
regarding these service charges.
This notice covering service
charges, while it may not apply II
your account, is being mailed to al
depositors to acquaint them with
our new policy.
Yours very truly,

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTCo

GOVERNOR LANDON, through his
lobbyist-mouthpiece, John Hamilton,
boasts of his economy in office. Evil
IDENTIFY, there are some people in the
dry-wet state of Kansas who question
the desirability of economy carried on
at the expense of human uplift.
Economical administration of gov
eminent is always desirable and com
mendable- unless carried to an ex-
treme," remarks the Parsons Sun, one
of the substantial Republican news
papers of Kansas.
eve pass that limit when our state
hospitals are unable to care for the
unfortunate insane and tubercular pa
TENTS" continues this former staunch
supporter of Gov. ALI M. Landon.
We are in such a situation. When
Labette County asked to send two wo-
men insane patients to Osawatomie,
at different times, we were told that
the only way we could do that would
be for our county to take back men
patients-which we did. We have no
place to put the men except in the
county jail or on the county farm
where they are now. We think that
is not good government-even though
credit may be claimed for saving
money. Economy at the expense of
humanity does not appeal to this
newspaper.
"This condition is becoming notori-
Gus in Kansas and the special ses-
sion of the Legislature now convened
could correct it but it probably will
not be encouraged to do so. Editors
note-this prediction proved true)
This situation, also, will have to wait
until The next regular session in jan
uary and then wait for the necessary
buildings to be erected"
