RILEY REMINDS PARENTS
OF LAWS ON VACCINATION
Children Can't Enter School Un-
til Treated Against Smallpox

If you are going to start your child
in school this fall, don't forget he or
she will have to be vaccinated against
smallpox-if that has not already
been attended to-before being entered
in any public school in the State. This
reminder comes from DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health and is based on one of the
health laws of the State.
eve have had only two cases of
smallpox in Maryland in the last seven
years., DR.. Riley said, zone in 1881 and
the other in 1885. The record is blank
for 1880, 1882, 1888, 1884 and for 1886.
So far it is unblemished for 1897 also.
We hope to keep it so.
"But the disease has beer, and is,
prevalent elsewhere. During the first
six months of the current year over
1000 cases have occurred in other
parts of the country, over 1900 more
than were reported during the cores
ponding period of 1886. Half the
States in the Union were represented
in the two totals. The majority of the
cases occurred, of course, in the States
in which vaccination is not compulsory.
Smallpox is very contagious. Any
body who has not been vaccinated and
is exposed to the disease, is likely to
contract it. The only way to avoid hav-
ing it is through vaccination. We have
established our favorable record in
Maryland through vaccination.
physicians in general practice in
Maryland are expected to vaccinate
the babies under their care before the
children are year old. Responsibility
for having the children protected
against smallpox rests with the par
ents until the children reach school
age. After that it is shared by teachers
and school authorities. The vaccina-
ton laws were enacted in 1864. The
school law requires child to be vacci-
mated before he or she may be received
in any public school in the State, and
it imposes fine of ten dollars on any
teacher who enrolls child, or on any
school trustee or commissioner, who
permits child to be enrolled, who
has not been vaccinated.
parents are cooperative, as a rule,
in observing the law. Tney know the
children have to be vaccinared; they
mean to have it done, but good many
of them put it off. Consequently we
find mot vaccinated against small

More about Farley-only this time
Mr.. Farley pulls it himself.
Following his visit here he had his
secretary send letter to number
of Oakland people thanking them for
being at the train to see him and re-
GREETING that he could not prolong his
stay.
Each member of the band got one.
A lot of people also got them who
weren't even at the train.
And so goes some of our money.

This past week a Mr.. Oyler, from
Gettysburg, came here for a marriage

The following item is taken from the
Preston Republican:
Russell Brown, the C. and A. Gas
Company man from Oakland, whom
you all know because sometimes he
comes around ard runs your gas bill
up, is being commended on his abil-
ity to run down snakes, or vice versa.
Seems as though Brown, in company
with Mike Dewitt, another Gas Com
pany man, were out in yon wilderness
somewhere when Dewitt stepped on a
rattlesnake. The snake didn't harm
him because his legs were suitably
protected with leather. The snake was
killed. But the story has just begun.
"They heard some more rattles and
concluded there must be more of those
ugly crawlers around, too nearby.
With forked sticks and the necessary
weapons for the fight they set forth
to kill. When Brown spied the reptile,
his eyes popped, his mouth flew open
and words similar to these emitted in
forced tone: There they are! Get 'em!'
He dropped his stick and was last seen
running through the woods followed
by Dewitt. The serpents lived happily
ever after"
And that explains why Brown was
all out of breath the other evening
when he got home. It's q long run

ORMOND BEACH. Fla, February l.
The heavy iron gate at the driveway
Of John D. Rockefeller's estate, the
Easements, Is open and urguarded
but few enter now.
The multi-millionaire, in his 9th
year, is maintaining the strict seclu-
sion instituted in 1894. Those who
knew him as "Neighbor john respect
his wish that he be left alone with his
household.
Hibiscus blooms and other flowers
brighten the well-kept grounds Of the
estate. A screened Summer house
could be made ready for guests in q
few moments.
His unpretentious house looks across
a narrow street and waterside park
to the broad Halifax River Across
busy avenue to the north is the
huge Ormond Hotel, where he stayed
in 1918 and which was his Winter
home until he built thu Easements
five years later.
Rockefeller varies his seclusion by
frequent drives in a big maroon limou-
sine. The machine usually rolls past
the hotel, alongside the golf course
where he last played in 1888, and then
down to the hard-packed sands OF
the beach. With the surf laundering
to his left he rides usually toward
Daytona Beach, a few miles away.

CONNALLY URGES
WARPROF|T CURB
Drastic Tax and Industry
Control Would Go Into Et-

b. the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
Senator Connally, Democrat, OF
Texas urged Congress today to take
the profits out of war" by enacting
drastic system of wartime taxation
and industrial control.
His legislation, which would 60 into
effect automatically the day war is
declared, is aimed to put future con-
flicts virtually on "pay-as-you-f1ght'
basis.
1T musters money as we'll as men"
Connally said, by providing for the
drafting of industrial plants, factories,
munitions and supplies. 1t effectively
carries out the policy of the American
Legion to draft industry and wealth.
Hearings to Resume.
House hearings on the Sheppard
Hill bill, which has similar intent,
will be resumed Thursday. Connally
expects action at this session IN con-
formity with the anti-war plank OF
the Democratic platform, which ne
helped draft.
His bill would lower income tax ex-
emptions to $500 for single persons
and $500 for married persons. and
impose a steeply graduated surtax on
all income over those amounts.
A person earning more than 500. 600
over his exemption would pay an 30
per cent surtax in addition to the
normal 10 per cent income tax. The
Senate Finance Committee approved
a like bill last Winter.
More Drastic Bill Planned.
A still more drastic measure, which
would In effect limit net incomes to
about $4,000 during wartime. will be
introduced this week by several MEM
bers of the former Munitions In
vestigating Committee.
Senator Nye. Republican, Of North
Dakota, who headed that committee.
said it would give the Government
broad powers to Ak prices, COM
mandeer factories and draft industrial
management for the duration Of the
conflict.

She loved the picture so that she felt as
though her own hands, with love, had turned
back the fur collar from the necklace that
glistened around the sweet throat of her.
Her name might be what it would, but for
Mary o O'Houlihan it was Molly. She had had a
Molly of her own for eight years that might
have turned out as like the girl of the picture
as two peas IN a pod, except that Molly
O,Houlihan had had bit of the O'Houlihan
mouth. and God save her; and then there was
that touch to the end of her nose, too, but for
all that the girl of the picture was Molly, to
Mary O'Houlihan. And it was for her picture
that she stared vainly across the great shining
red desert of that desk.

found it torn twice across. In four pieces she
held the poor dead thing in her hands and

when she went home across Brooklyn Bridge
that night, the picture went with her. For
a month she asked questions until Mrs.
Downey's boy Jim, who worked in photog-
rapher's shop. gave her the materials and
told her what to do with them. She was not
fool enough to begin at once on the picture
of Molly, but first she tore Sunday Supple
ment pictures of beautiful ladies to bits and
then pasted them carefully together, and
when she had much practice and could put
the seams together 80 that eye could not tell
where the edges joined, she began with the
picture of Molly and through the whole of
morning, gingerly. patiently, she labored until
the dead was restored to life.
After that she sat it on her bureau, and
she felt that her loneliness was clean gone
from her; and when the smoke from the
htchenette rolled through the room, she
would lay a clean dish towel over the face Of
Molly to keep her from harm.

dore's wife, said to her: Il wouldn't be know

"Ah, and wouldn't you?" said Mary
O'Houlihan, and said no other word whatever,
but in the days that came after a sense of
guilt grew up IN her, and when visitors
came in, she would hurry to lay the picture
in the top drawer of the bureau; and even
