Beyond so, it's all guesswork. AS
explained by the Club: Human
frailty is too great, physical materials
too imperfect to permit science to
measure with accuracy your stopping

Suggestions for the incorporation
of the idea in motor vehicle speed
ometers comes from Emanuel Cor
fine, Speaker of the Maryland House
of Delegates, who wrote to the Club:
81 think that if manufacturers Of
automobiles do not adopt the use of
a dial of this kind for future automo-
biles, that an attempt should be
made to have legislation enacted in
the various states making it COM
pulsory to use such dials."

A FAVORABLE SCORE

With So cases of typhoid reported
in the State during the first six
months of the current year, as COM
pared to IS in the corresponding
period of 1895, 124 in 1884, 113 in
1888, and 143 during the first six
months of 1882, the place of honor,
so far as new low score is concern
ed, is given to that disease, in the
report of DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, of
the incidence of communicable dis
eases in the State from January / 70
June 80 of this year.
Summarizing the report, DR.
Riley said: "In spite of the menace
of typhoid as an after effect of the
destructive floods of March and
April, we have the smallest number
of cases 53-recorded during any
corresponding six months period. 1t
will be recalled that disease proven
ton measures, notably widespread
immunization against typh OF d.,
chlorination or other disinfection of
water supplies, and orders that all
potentially unsafe drinking water be
boiled before using-were immedi-
ately applied in all sections of the
State endangered by the floods.
These emergency measures supple
mented the steady fight that is being
waged throughout the counties
against typhoid at all times, through
sanitary measures, by immunization
against the disease, and by the dis
covery and supervision of carriers.
The cumulative effect of all of these
activities is reflected in the favorable
record for the current six months.
However this doesn't mean that we
can relax in any of our effort. Be-
cause of the nature of typhoid, the
insidiousness of the methods of at
tack, and especially Of the possibil-

ity of the transmission of the infec-
tion through unknown or unrecog-
nized carriers, there can be no pos
sible let up in the precautionary
measures against the disease.
"Of the So cases reported during
the first six months this year, II
occurred in Baltimore City and SO
in the Counties. Six Counties
Carroll, Cecil, Howard, Prince
Georges, Quen Anne's and Somerset
came through the six months with
out having a single case of typhoid
charged to them"

NEW DRESS FABRICS SHOULD
BE STUDIED BY EVERY
HOUSEWIFE

Dress fabrics have changed good
deal since Grandma was girl. They
even progress considerably from sea-
son to season. So the woman who
buys clothes ready-made and the one
who makes them at home both wish
to know what new fabrics are on the
market and how to use them.
Miss Helen Shelby, clothing spe-
cialist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service, says that
some Of the newest developments in
summer fabrics are the wrinkle
proof linens, cottons, and synthetics
which have been treated with resin
to withstand crushing. Though not
proof against all wrinkles, they do
not crease so badly as untreated
fabric and they recover more quickly.
They also soil less easily than Or
binary fabrics. Many of the new
mems shirts have wrinkle-resistant
fabric for the collar.
Those who have been using these
fabrics say that they have obtained
better wear when the garments were
not fitted too closely which may
cause sagging. These fabrics also
make up best in dresses without
pleats or folds because the material
tends to roll rather than hold a sharp
edge. Edge-stitching at hens and
around collars will help hold sharp
edge. Warm rather than hot water
is recommended for washing because
very hot water destroys the wrinkle
quality.
Another new treatment for sum-
mer fabric is permanent stiffeuing
which holds the stiffness without
added starch. Some of the new
summer lawns, organizes, and other
sheer materials have this natural
stiffness which holds even after
washing. But the shopper, by read
ing the label on the fabric, can see
what the manufacturer guarantees
about the permanency Of the treat
ment.
Miss Shelby says that the manu-
facturers have made great progress
in recent years in producing summer
wash fabrics which will not shrink
and are fast in color. A label which
guarantees that the material twill
not shrink" or is Thoroughly
shrunk," is more definite than the
statement "pre-shrunk." Some labels
also guarantee that the color is fast
both to light and to washing.
Another fabric which many re-
port satisfactory for hot weather is
cotton lace. They report that it is
easy to make up, easy to wash, fits
we'll and is inexpensive. 1t requires
only straight stitching to finish the
seams because it does not ravel
easily. 1t irons dry and has
natural elasticity of weave that
makes it fit we'll. 1t is suitable for
both sports and dress wear and is
very cool.

Gold stein, who spoke at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in the Ter minal Cafe today, aid and assist ance of the Chamber was pledged in support of the proposed new City Library. and the Civic Improvement Committee of the Chamber was in structed to cooperate with Mayor Goldstein to that end.

 Price ot Lot Included
 Although preliminary arthitect's reports indicate that the proposed building can be erected for S22 ,OOO to S23,000, MT Goldstein said, the City has applied for loan and grant of $30,000. The cost of the lot upon which the library will be erected may also be paid for by loan and grant funds, he said, and will not fall entirely upon the City, as formerly had been supposed The cost of building site, and the cost of equipment and incidentals, added to the cost of erection of the library building will not exceed $30,O0O, MT. Goldstein said.
 FaDors Adjacent Plot
 Although no decision has been reached regarding the site for the proposed Library, MT. Goldstein expressed himself as in favor of the vacant lot adjoining the City Hal because of possible reduction oi expenses through heating the new building by the plant in the City Hall, and by combining the expense for janitor service for the two buildings.
 The space now occupied by the Public Library could be used by the Fire Department, whose pres ent quarters have become cramped MT. Goldstein said.

CRISIS LOOMS IN MARITIME
 STRIKE TIEUP
Coast Shipping Virtually Paralyzed Only Eleven
 Vessels in Trade

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. g.. A crisis appears imminent in the tangled Pacific Coast maritime sit uation.
 Neither employers nor labor lead CTS make any predictions, but the tieup of coast vessels has so nearly paralyzed coast shipping that only eleven are actually in trade.
 Fifty-seven steam schooners and other small coastal carriers have been rendered idle, g of them as a result of crew demands for 6-hour day in port.
 Others are idle because of lack of cargo, or because of obsolescence.
 Four deep-water ships, all from the East Coast, are tied up here be- cause their crews want a West Coast agreement, which would give them higher pay.
