SOMERSET CHORAL CLUBS
SUCCESS in COMPETITION

The Somerset Choral Club again this
year competed with singers from TWEEN
ty-three counties in Maryland on
Thursday during the Rural Woman's
Short Course Week at the University
of Maryland, College Park.
This club of thirty chorusters has
won, for two consecutive years, the
State award for greatest achievement
in the field of music and greatest pro-
gress in this field during the year.
The selection for the concert this
year included "Serenade" and "Who
is Sylvia" by Franz Shubert. Under
the capable direction of Mrs. Benjamin
T. Dryden, of this city, the club stands
an excellent chance of carrying off the
third year prize and upholding the
highly enviable position it has held the
past two years.

CONGRESS TO DISCUSS
FARM LEGISLATION

A Committee of the Democratic
Steering Committee, headed by Con-
gresham T. Alan Goldsborough, as
chairman, called on the President on
Wednesday to discuss with him the
feasibility of Farm Tenancy Legisla-
ton at this Session of Congress. The
sense of the meeting was that expert
mental legislation should be passed at
this Session, to be developed and en-
larged at the next Session and later.
An initial appropriation of from ten
to fifteen million dollars was indicat-
ed.
The ultimate purpose of the legis-
lation is to increase the number of
owners among those living on farms
and to help present tenants who desire
to purchase farms to do so.

popular everywhere else, and there is
no reason why it should not be here.
All the teams in the League have in
stalled plants, except Crisfield and
Centreville, and it is likely they will
soon fall into line.
Pocomoke at this writing (Wednes-
day. is occupying the cellar position,
but patrons of the game can rest as
sured everything will be done that is
possible to strengthen every position.
Good ball players are not picked up
on every corner, specially at this time
of the playing season. Pocomoke and
Crisfield were slow in deciding the
matter of being represented in the cir
cult, and for that reason, probably,
the clubs are where they are.
The attendance has been encourag-
ing here, and the patrons deserve a
more consistently winning combina-
ton. The season is not over yet, and
with the efforts of the management
to build up and the encouragement Of
the fans, Pocomoke should soon make
better showing.
Pocomoke lost to Salisbury on We'd
| nesday night by a score of 10 to A.
Rock, new pitcher, was tried with
the bases loaded in the third inning
after Messick had come to grief. He
retired the leaders allowing only two
runs in that inning and one in the re-
mainder of the game. The Pocomoke
management is still seeking material
to strengthen the lineup.
The first rift in the lutte has come
to light in complaint lodged against
Salisbury for using ineligible play
ers. "Class D" has it's rules, and these
should be enforced. Leniency in al
lowing clubs to engage ball tossers
above the classification was one of
the causes of the downfall of the for
mer Shore circuit. The desire to win
was overpowering and temptation to
hire talent was irresistible. The ri
valry became unbounded, finances

mind, in order to be ready to meet the
responsibilities of the next day. I
learned afterwards that these canine
cadences have just the opposite effect
on the canine owners. These, I am
told, wake up when the serenading
ceases, and, in some unaccountable
way, make it known to the dog divas
and other species to keep up their car
cling under promise of some dainty
dog food at the coming dawn.
And 1 sometimes wonder, if I am
the only grabbed old man in the COM
munity. Is my neighborhood the only
section of the corporation where these
nightly troubadours roam? Am I the
only light sleeper in the city popula-
ton? I don't believe it; because, as
I lay at times listening to the vocal
exercise of these "cute" little ami
mails, I am constrained to believe that
there is meaning attached to their
banks. For, way off in the distance
to the north, I hear an answering
note; this one leaps across the expanse
and strikes upon the ear of a southern
sympathizer, and back goes a reply.
Soon a wall, from the east starts an
echo from the west; and it isn't long
before these concert singers are box
ing the compass better than the best
navigator on the high seas.
Well, I don't know just what's to be
done about it. The condition seems to
be accepted as a necessary evil. All
anybody has to do to furnish his neigh
Dor with a nuisance is to buy a little
metal tag, fasten it around the dogs
neck, and send it forth to conquer the
world. The pup says, "Touch me not,
I've tag around my cervical appen-
dage." I'd like it better if he had a
tin can around it's caudal appendage.
But the tag gives it liberty to zap
when it pleases, park under your win
dow for a serenade, and bring any
and as many of it's acquaintance as
it sees fit. I am constrained to ex-
claim in bitter woe, 20 tempora, o

WAYS TO KEEP
BABIES!IQUIET
ON HOT DAYS
Summer Complaint Takes Heavy
Toll OF Many Infant Lives
Each Year

Ways by which babies may be kept
we'll and comfortable during the hot
weather are pointed out in the accom-
panying bulletin from the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the Maryland State
Department of Health:
"With the coming of hot weather.
mothers with little children begin to
think of the dread summer complaint
which used to take dreadful toll of
infant lives, among bottle-fed babies
each year. It is now well known that
a large part of this sickness is caus-
ed by germs getting into the baby's
food. On that account every mother
must be extremely careful about clean
liness in handling the food. Bottle
and nipples should be boiled before u.s.
ing. All milk given to babies under
a year and half old should be boiled
for three minutes if an open pan is
used or for twenty minutes in double
boiler.
"But even the most careful prepare
tions are useless if flies are not kept
away from the milk and from the baby
also. Flies are disease carriers. Keep
the baby in screened crib if possible.
If, in spite of all this care, the baby
develops diarrhea or loose bowels, a
doctor should be called Immediately.
The mother who nurses her baby is
spared much of this worry.
"There are other things to remem-
Der about the care Of the baby during
the hot weather. Every effort should
be made to keep the baby comfortable.
Dress the baby according to the wealth
er-if it is very hot only put on a
diaper. Many mothers fear that ex-
posture is dangerous, but getting the
baby overheated from too many cloth
es, is even worse. Sponging the baby
with tepid water on hot days makes
him more comfortable.
"There are two rashes which afflict
babies in the summer: One from heat
and the other from the bites of in
sects. The heat rash is caused by too
much perspiration, particularly in the
folds of the skin. Insect bites can be
prevented if the child is kept in a
screened room or porch, or in screen
ed crib.
"When it is very warm adults like
to drink more water. So do babies.
Give them cooled boiled water several
times day. In a very hot weather
babies and young children, like grown
ups have less appetite for food. Don't
force the baby, against his will, to
take more food than he wants.
"There is no need for stopping cod
liver oil, tomato or orange juice, dur
ing the summer. At one time it was
thought that the oil caused diarrhea
but we know now that germs in the
milk are generally responsible.
"Sun baths should be given to every
baby but they must be done judicious-
ly. Start with 10 or Is minutes day
and increase the time gradually as the
skin becomes tanned. Be very careful
to protect the baby's eyes from the
sun.
"The precautions outlined above are
not hard to carry out. Following them
will make the baby more comfortable
and may save his life"
