PREVENTORIUM
AT CLAIBORNE
TO Be OPENED
Plans Being Formulated To
Open Institution After Clos
ing Of Public Schools

Plans are now being formulated at
the Maryland Tuberculosis Association
for the opening Of the children's pre-
ventorium at Claiborne after the pub
lie schools close in June.
The Miracle House, as the preven-
forum is called, is maintained by the
association to help young children
who have been exposed to tuberculosis
by building up their resistance so that
they can cope with the disease more
successfully. By undergoing a regi-
me of play, fresh air, rest and sleep,
good food and leading a life govern
ed by good health habits this aim is
realized. Last year the 145 children
who attended gained a total of 100
pounds.
Almost any time during the summer
months, except when the children are
at rest, one can hear the infectious
laughter and joyful shouting of the
youngsters at play. Toys and other
playthings are provided for their use
and an understanding staff is always
On the job to see that everyone has
their share of fun.

received at the offices of the associa.
ton. The applicants are children be.

THREE CASES
ROCKY MOUNTAIN
FEVER REPORTED
DR.. r. HI. Riley Urges Precau-
tons Against This Most
Dreaded Of Diseases

Three cases of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever-also known as Click
Bite Fever"-were included in the mott
fable diseases reported to the State
Department of Health, in May. The
temperance of the disease brings
reminder from DIR. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, of the precautions that
should be taken at all times against
the tiny creature that is the source
of this and also of other diseases.
"The diseases for which ticks are
responsible" DIR. Riley said, "are all
contracted in much the same way.
That is, through the bite of the infect
ed insects; by crushing the insects
and absorbing the infectious material
into the system through break or a
scratch in the skin, or by getting the
material on the hands and acciden-
tally rubbing it into the eyes, nose or
mouth. Rabbit fever, or tularemia,
which is a matter of special concern
during the hunting season, is contract
ed in this way and also in handling or
skinning animals that have been Bit
ten by infected ticks or other insect
carriers of that disease.
"The ticks that carry the infection
responsible for "Tick-Bite Fever" are
particularly active in the early spring.
Fortunately not all ticks are infected,
but it is better to regard them all as
potentially dangerous, diseases-bear-
ing, gangster-insects, and to act ac-
cordingly. For example:
1. Tick-bite fever is spread in this
part of the country mainly by the or
binary dog tick which attaches itself
to dogs, and humans. Remove any
ticks you find on your person, or on
animals, as quickly as possible, but
take special care that the ticks are
not crushed between the fingers. If
the insect is already embedded in the
flesh, use forceps or wear gloves. A
slight break in the skin will serve as
the place of entry for the infectious
virus. After removing ticks wash the
hands thoroughly with soap and
water.
2. Wear suitable clothing in 60
ing through tick-infested areas.
3. On hikes or camping trips, or
if your work keeps you in heavily tick
infested sections, carefully inspect
your clothing and your person for
ticks at least twice day, especially |
on retiring. Take another look in the
morning.
4. Cut out and burn underground
and weeds. Cut grass very short near
bathing pools, shores and along paths.
'The life history Of the tick, the
reasons for such precautions and the
extent to which tick-bite fever has oc-
CURED in Maryland, are interestingly
described by DR.. C.. H. Halliday, cpl
demiologist of the State Department
CT Health in an article on Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever, published in
a recent issue of the Maryland Con-
servationist. Since 1880, 237 cases of
the disease have been reported in
Maryland, 10 of which ended fatally.
The majority of the cases have occur
red between May and September"

ABOUT ETHEL WATERS
Now we come to those who
claim Ethel Waters was grievous-
ly overlooked in the Tuesday re.
views of "At Home Abroad" and
particularly by this space.
Well, there is no color line
here when it comes to appra1sing
entertainers. I have never en-.
joyed Ethel Waters as much as
did in Lew Leslie's Rhapsody
in Black" a Sepia revue that, for
me, had more grand music and
barber shop melodies than any
of the higher toned musicals IN
which she has later appeared.
Those who remember Ethel
Waters singing II Rub and !
Scrub" and whats Keeping My
Prince Charming" must concede
that they we're songs better fitted
to this artist than anything which
has since been submitted to her
by composers. In Supper Time"
Of "AS Thousands Cheer" she
had another lyric closer to her
art than anything since the Les
lie frolic.
This suggests another thought:
What has happened to the first
flight colored comedians? Nathan
Stiefel may reply. "You can see
them any week at the Howard"
But that isn't just the answer I
am looking for. mean what has
to the successor to Bert
Williams. You can't place his
mantle on Cab Galloway, Fats
Waller, Bill Robinson or Stepin
Fetchit. And the Mills brothers
can't wear it. They are all musi-
clans par excellence, all have a
sense of rhythm, they can all
hoof. But apart from mugging
their comedy is secondary. None
is close to the genius for COMPEL.
ing a laugh that Bert williams
had.
Lew Leslie once told me that
he had secured Harlem and the
show world with a fine tooth
comb without being able to dis
cover a real chocolate comedian,
meaning one big enough for fea.
tured type in a revue. Ethel
Waters Stooge in Rhapsody in
Black" was o funny smoke, but
there 1t ended. He looked funny,
but he couldn't speak lines 50
they would hit the laugh target.
Getting back to Ethel Waters.
I have long conceded her artistry.
But the character singer, like the
comedian, is invariably only as
good as the material he or she
has to sell.
OAKIE ON THE AIR
Ken Murray long distances from
New York that Jack Oakie will be
the guest star of his radio program
next Tuesday night.
So along about $50 p. M on
WJSV look for a honeymoon
message. That's what he tells me,
explaining that Oakie is right in
the middle Of a honeymoon and
he wants to talk about it on the
air. Mrs. Jack Oakie, I am as
sured, will be lowering around.
Now, what will a Hollywood star
have to say about matrimony, ex-
cept that life is just one retake
after another. I just can't wait
until Tuesday night.
