HEADED FOR
MIDWEST

CHICAGO, Jan. 5 U.N.s).-Sub-
zero cold, driven by strong north
west winds, raced towards Chi
cago today from the "ice box" Of
the North American continent,
the Mackenzie River basin Of
Western Canada.
With the mercury already fall
ing, Government Forecaster j. r.
Lloyd predicted it would reach
zero by tonight and 10 below by
tomorrow.
The freezing blast struck the
northwest yesterday, sending tenn
peratures tumbling in Colorado,
Montana, wyoming, the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Snow
fell in many parts Of the north
west yesterday, making highway
traffic hazardous.
At Fergus Falls, Mimi, great
drifts piled across the highways,
and officials declared rural schools
would be unable to resume for at
least a week.
DR., Herman N. Bundesen, preSl-
dent of the Chicago Board Of
Health, welcomed the advent Of
the cold wave, expressing the
hope it would aid in halting the
spread Of influenza and pneu.
monia.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michi-
gan, Missouri and Kansas will feel
the effects of the frigid blast,
Forecaster Lloyd said. He warned
livestock shippers to protect ship
ments during the next 36 to 48
hours from temperatures ranging
as low as 80 degrees below zero.
WilliSton, N. D., was the nations
cold spot yesterday, with the mer-
curry dropping to 16 below zero.

TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS SEAL
SALE REPORT

The results of the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal Sale in the various
counties of the state are most en-
couraging according to the latest re-
ports received from the respective
Christmas Seal sale chairmen. Many
of the counties are expected to reach
the quotas set for them early in the
sale and only few are falling below
expectations.
AS many people received the seals
in the mail at Thanksgiving time and
have not yet made payments for
them, it is expected that the funds
already received will be increased.
Many people postpone payments until
the first of the New Year or have lost
their seals in the rush of the holiday
season. Additional returns are ex-
pected from these people when they
clean up their unfinished Christmas
! business or discover the seals in
some overlooked hiding place. II
all the people who still retain their
seals and have not paid for them
would do so, every county would
reach its quota.
1t is hoped by the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association that everyone will
try to make their returns to their
chairman as soon as possible so the
seal sale records can be brought to a
close. When this is done, all mem
bers of the staff of the Association
will be free to carry on the program
of tuberculosis control with greater
energy.
The program for this year will call
for the continuation of the statewide
clinics, health education the Mir
acle House, medical research, the
clinic for teaching tuberculosis dag
nosis to colored doctors, and the pur-
chase of diagnostic equipment. Many
of the counties have additional anti
tuberculosis projects which are felt
necessary for the welfare of that
county.
Mrs. I. D. Davis, chairman of the
Cecil County Christmas Seal Sale,
reported that the result of the sale
in the county to date is $3.50.

Dec. 10, of any year. OF this group,
those of March 9, and September IL,
are most decidedly under the influ-

These are among the more generally
known classes of industry operating
teletypewriter services as shown in
directory compiled and published at
regular intervals, listing the names
and teletypewriter numbers alphabet
cally by cities throughout the coun-
try. Also, teletypewriter directory
listing subscribers by classes of bust
ness is available.
Teletypewriters are typewriters that
operate electrically over long distance
telephone lines. Teletypewriters were
first employed in conjunction with
leased lines for communication be-
tween two or more stations on full
time basis. The advantages of this
means of communication were quickly
recognized and the size of the leased
network grew rapidly until it became
evident that it would be desirable to
switch teletypewriters to various type
writer stations located either in the
same city or distant cities. AS a re-
suit teletypewriter switchboards were
installed for the interchange of mes
sages from one point to another within
the city, state or nation.

One-page telephone directories, a
novelty fifty years ago, have devel-
oped into thick volumes of several col
ums as evidence that telephone COM
munication has grown with the COM
munities served. The Washington, D.
c., directory, for example, now con-
tains 1900 pages, including 600 pages
of city listings, 140 pages of suburban
subscribers and nearly 500 pages in
the classified section. The single page
directory of April s, 1879, contained
1923 listings. This makes it easy to Wis
ualize the rapid strides made in tele-
phone development in the nations cap
ital since the service was first estab-
lished December /, 1878. Washington
leads the world in telephone develop

NEWER METHODS USED TO COM.
BAT PNEUMONIA

Speaking of seasonal illnesses and
the means used to combat them, DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, said: "Pneu-
monia usually heads the list of di-
seases that are matters of concern to
physicians and health officers at this
time of the year.
Pneumonia usually fares up, he
continued, Sin the early fall. There
is generally steady increase in both
cases and deaths until spring and a
steady decline from then ON through
out the summer. Very often a ne
elected cold, or an attack of infiu
enza opens the way for the more ser,
ious disease and there is always dan
ger of it in connection with measles.
"Since 1882, pneumonia has &C.
cupied the fifth place as cause of
death in Maryland, and one death
out of every twelve recorded in the
State has been due to that disease.
1t has been outranked as a cause of
death only by heart disease, diseases
of the kidneys, cancer and cerebral
Ihemorrhage. Consequently newer
methods of treating this disease that
is equally fatal to young and old,
are matters of great Importance.
Serum treatment of pneumonia
belongs in this class, and it has been
very effective for certain kinds of
pneumonia, especially if administer
/ ed early in the course of the disease.
Before the serum is administered,
Laboratory tests of sputum from the
person suspected Of having pneumon-
ia, must be made, to determine the
particular type of the disease pres
ent. The serum is of no use unless
it fits particular type of the disease.
Such tests formerly took great deal
of time. Now, some of them can be
completed within an hour. And in
pneumonia, time is a matter of life
or death.
"These newer tests are being made
every day at the laboratories of the
City and State Departments of Health
in Baltimore City and at the Branch
Laboratories of the State Department
of Health in the counties, for physi-
clans throughout the State, to aid
them in the prompt diagnosis of the
disease. The service is available to
every physician in Maryland.
1T is extremely important that no
time be lost In getting the specimens
of sputum to the laboratories. Spec
linens should be taken to the labor
atory by messenger; mailing speci-
mems usually results in the loss of
precious time. Reports are either
telephoned as soon as the laboratory
tests are completed or sent to the
physician by the returning messen-
ger.
Commercial serums for the treat
ment of pneumonia are not yet avail
able for all types of the disease.
However, they have been developed
and are available for few of the
most important types. The serums
can be obtained from some Of the
drug concerns and the biological sup
ply houses.

POETRY

Poetry always brings fresh point
of view and gives the thought por-
trayed richer meaning for the
reader who is one of the two parts
that makes poetry successful. The
other part is the poet--the person
who stretches out one word into a
series of couplets or lines telling a
complete story. Literature in verse
Is language in rhythm, rhyme, meter
or beat, annosance and ALTERATION.
It is the earliest form of literary ex-
preston because poetry is especially
adapted to memory.
The central theme Of old poetry
was its appeal to the emotions while
the modern stuff appears to be direct
ed to the intellect but regardless of
it's motive, it still remains the most
impressive expression of deep and
sensitive understanding. All profess
sional poets were once upon time
amateurs. And amateurs, the most
potent Hobby Riders, are the produc-
ers of the great bulk of verse slowed
away with old lavendar and lace and
favorite books-and sometimes pub
lished. Local papers almost always
appreciate the effort and print the Of
fering but the dozen or more maya
zines devoted to the subject carry all
types of verse as we'll as articles on
the technique of the art. The poetry
most remembered is the basis of the
songs of the nation.
Spartime spent in the tleld Of poe
try will soon bring the names of the
famous bards who lie in Westminis-
ter's Poet Corner, as well IS, the long
list of Americas distinguished mag
NATIVE writer's. The poet laureate
of England, John Masefeld, is now
preparing an ode to the new king for
which he is annually paid 1870 gal
Ions of canary wine.
Almost every person at sometime
or other feels the urge to sing or re-
cite his rhyming words. The most
promising young verse builder on the
peninsula is Chester Willin who lives
down Seaford way and writes freely
about things he sees here and there.

On his way he met bear
The bear had bulge
The bulge was Algy!.
Arize America
In Washington the solons meet
Some new law to devise;
They say this Is the only way
To help the poor man rise.
But they've overlooked the best bet
And I've got proof complete

To put a man on his feet.
