DISEASE PREVENTION ACTIVE
TIES IN THE FLOODED
DISTRICTS

Five Maryland counties were es-
pecially affected by the recent foods,
Allegany. Washington, Frederick and
Montgomery in the Potomac area
and Cecil on the Susquehanna. Dis
ease prevention activities we're inn
mediately started in each county
under the direction of the County
Health officer In cooperation with
The Red Cross and other relief agen-
Ties, with the assistance OF person
mel and supplies from the State De-
partment of Health.
Because of the danger of typhoid
and other diseases, large quantities
of typhoid vaccine, tetanus anti
toxin, other biologicals. and disin-
iectants for the publication of wells
and water supplies, and for other
purposes, were rushed to the County
Health Departments and TO con
veniently accessible supply stations.
Typhoid immunizations were be-
gun and warnings that all water used
ior drinking and for household pur-
poses must be boiled, were posted at
Red Cross stations, In shelters for
refugees and at other centers. Engi-
neers from the Bureau of Sanitary
Engineering, assisted the local SAM
iarians in the inspection and chlori-
nation of public and private water
supplies and wells. After the water
receded, inspections were made by
representatives of the Bureau OF
Food and Drugs, of food supplies
provision stores and markets
restaurants and public eating places
and of other places where food is
handled or prepared. Supplies unfit
for use were condemned.
Sanitary surveys were begun al
once in preparation for early re

munities. The Board of County

The archaeological laboratory al
Cumberland, one of the branch

DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY

The Travellers Insurance Com
pany has issued book entitled
Live and Let Live" 1t deals,
through statistics and graphic illus
trations, with the traffic accident
record in 1885, when 36,100 lives
were Destroyed by automobiles. 1t
would be a great thing for the cause
of safety if every citizen could read
the booklet, mediate upon it, and
act upon the lessons it gives and
implies.
What caused serious accidents last
year? AS in the past, excessive
speed was the undertakers best
friend, accounting for 81 per cent OF
all accidents in which persons were
killed and injured. A heavy foot on
the accelerator smooths the path to
the morgue.
Next came driving on the wrong
side of the road, the cause of II per
cent of the accidents. Keep to the
right" seems to be laugh to many
drivers
Cars not having the right of way
caused Is per cent of the accidents.
Their drivers saved second or two
at the expense of life and health.
Fourteen per cent of the accidents
occurred when cars drove off the
roadway. Many causes may enter
into this type of accident--and
drunken driving, which seems to be
on the increase, is among them. A
substantial portion of motorists
must be taught, no matter how
roughly, that alcohol and gasoline
make a poor mixture.
Reckless driving caused 13 per
cent of the accidents, with the re-
naming 10 per cent laid to miscel-
laneous causes.
Think over this list. How often
have you been guilty of one or more
of the violations listed? Sure, you
got away with it last time-but re-
member that next time you may not
be so lucky.

SAFETY AND MISUSE
OF MOTORIST FUNDS

Two subjects of vital Importance
to Observation-Disclosures safety and
misuse of motorist funds--were
stressed by j. Borton Weeks, Presi-
dent of the Keystone Automobile
Club, addressing $4,000 motorists
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Maryland at the 30th annual meeting
of the Club, March 31st, in Phila-
delphia Convention Hall.
Mr.. Weeks declared that the great
need in the highway safety move
ment is State leadership: 1--WE be-
lieve," he said, that the leadership
in promoting the safety of the high
ways should be assumed by the State
itself, and carried out by an official
whose function should be the crea-
ion of comprehensive program and
the coordination of the activities of
all State and local authorities in
carrying such program into effect"
In line with this thought he
strongly advocated increase in State
highway patrol forces, declaring that
adequate enforcement of motor We
hicle laws, with consequent decrease
in accidents, is dependent upon the
number of adequately trained patrol
men, THE day is past" he con-
tinued, when an officer Is entitled
to be designated as an enforcer of
the law when all he does is to stand
1t his post and hop ON the offender
after the offense is committed. A
truly modern conception of a traffic
enforcement officer is one who is
thoroughly trained and actively pres
ent for the purpose of preventing
conduct which tends to produce acct
dents"
Attacking diversion of motorist
funds. Mr.. Weeks said:
Expenditure of motorist funds
necessarily involves the employment
Of many thousands of citizens and in
Itself constitutes a splendid contri-
button by the motoring public to the
prevention of unemployment. Any
diversion of motor funds from these
normal purposes will necessarily re-
suit in throwing large numbers of
persons out of work"

SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER

OF all the anniversaries which hui
mainly celebrates, Easter is the most
significant. Christmas is the joyous
celebration of a birth, of the begin
ming of the most conspicuous and
potent life in human history. 1t
relates primarily to life on earth,
to an existence that is compre-
hensible because it is expressed in
the material forms that make II
tangible, visible, and easily under
stood. But the whole purpose of that
life related to an existence beyond
the material, to another and differ
ent life, and Easter is the symbol OF
that larger and greater existence for
which man is designed and to which
earthly life is the vestibule.
The event which it commentaries
is a resurrection from death so well
substantiated by the evidence and so
tremendous in it's implications, that
for nearly 1000 years it has been by
far the most powerful influence in
the thought and action of mankind.
In that event is the promise, the
assurance, the proof, the certainty,
of Immortality. 1t has given to hui
man life an immeasurable import
ance, has extended it from a few
hours to an eternity, has lifted it up
from the dust and clothed it in the
apparel of divinity. Eternal life!
That is the meaning of Easter.

HOW EASTER is DETERMINED

Easter Day is determined as the
first Sunday after the paschal full
moon, that is 14th day of calendar
moon or full moon which natures
upon or after March 81. If the full
moon natures upon a Sunday, Easter
Day is the first Sunday following.
Easter was originally celebrated on
the Jewish Passover, 14th day of
first Jewish month or moon and
ecclesiastical authorities in later fix
ing date of Easter adhered to method
of determination by moon, in defer
ence to ancient custom. The present
rule for finding the date was adopted
at the Council of Christian Churches
at Nicaea, in 325. The date for
Easter may vary between March %
and April 25 over a period of 35
days. The Paschal Full Moon is on
the 14th day of a lunar month,
reckoned according to the ancient
ecclesiastical computation and not
the real, or astronomical, full moon.
The reason for placing Easter Sun
day ON the above date was, says
George Eastman, that the pilgrims
needed moonlight to travel on their
way to the great yearly Easter
festivals.

ACTIVITIES OF HANKINSON
SPEEDWAYS

Ralph A. Hankinson has tabulated
some very interesting data on the ac-
| tivities of Hankinson Speedways in
1885, and the following eminating
| from the offices of his organization
! should prove interesting to all who
follow the automobile racing game
In 1884, total gross attendance
at the combination meets sponsored
by Hankinson Speedways totaled
over 821, 1000, new record from the
| standpoint of attendance at automo-
! bile races exploited by one concern.
| At the beginning of the 1886 season,
last April, staff members of the
| Hankinson group were ambitious to
| the extent of securing an attendance
of cover the million" mark during
the season, and the report of attend
ance shows grand total of 1908
526 persons.
The records of the Contest Board
show that Hankinson Speedways Ii
censed "a different courses and OPP
| Grated SO sanctioned meets under the
supervision of the Contest Board of
| the American Automobile Associa-
| ticn.
Over $50 licensed drivers took
part in the SO events promoted by
the Hankinson organization. More
than 100000 was distributed to COM
peting drivers in the Sc events held
during the year 1885, which showed
an average of S1,147.61 paid at each
| of these meets to the drivers.
First place in the Hankinson Ma
tional Circuit Championship of 1885
was easily won by doc" Mackenzie,
who received as first award, and also
the title of 1895 Champion" the
$500 Hamilton wrist watch. Second
place went to Billy VIM, of Detroit,
who received 5000 Hamilton wrist
watch. Third place was won by Bob
Sail, of Paterson, N. j., who also re-
ceived a Hamilton Wrist watch.
Four AAA sanctional champion
ship events of century distance
each were held in 1895. Two of
these 100-mile grinds were promoted
by the Hankinson group; one at
Springfield, ILL.,, which was won by
Billy VIM, and the final at the
Langhorne Speedway on Oct. 10,
which was won by Kelly Petillo.
Billy Winn finished second to Petillo
at Langhorne.
Mr.. Hankinson, in a recent inter-
view stated: 1.-THE year of 1885 has
been our most successful season, both
from the standpoint of satisfactory
financial returns and meritorious
programs. We are inclined to be-
lieve that an invasion of Western
drivers will be most noticeable dur
ing 1886. Our schedule at the
present time calls for IA pre-fair
season operations and about 80 fair
dates. We believe that the most
outstanding programs of the season
which command special credit oc-
Cured at Reading, Allentown, Rich
mond, Raleigh, Wilson, N. c., and
Oct. Is at Langhorne. In analyzing
the ever-increasing popularity of au-
tomobile racing, we look forward to
decided increase in 1886"
