A Busy Man
BY Mrs. A. S. Nicely

ny MRS. a. o. NSSty
If you want favor done
By someone right at hand,
And want promise safe and sure
On which you can depend,
Don't go to him who always has
Plenty of time to plan
If you really want your favor done
Just ask the busy man.
The idle man never has
A moment he can spare,
He always has been putin it
off"
Until someone's in despair;
But the man whose every waking
hour
Is crowded full of work
Has never practiced wasting time,
He never thinks to shirk.
So when / want a favor done,
If 1 want it right away,
I'll call upon the one who works
The greater part Of the day;
He'll find a few spare moments
For which he has no use
He'll do it while some other man
Is framing an excuse.

WHAT THE WORLD WAR COST

Many statistics have been compiled
relative to the cost of the World
War, but the figures are so large that
1t is impossible for the human mind
to grasp their significance.
In an effort to put these figures
into somewhat more Understandable
form. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University,
tells what nigh have been done with
the 400 billion dollars spent on ac-
count of the war, as follows:
1.-THE World War, all told, cost
apart from 80 million lives-400 bill
lion dollars. With that money we
could have built a $4,000 house,
furnished it with $1,000 worth OF
furniture, placed it on five acres of
land worth 500 an acre and given
this home to each and every family
In the United States, Canada, Au-
stralia, England, Wales, Ireland,
Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany
and Russia. We could have given
to each city of 10000 inhabitants and
over, in each country named, i've
million dollar library and ten mil
lion dollar university. Out of what
was left we could have set aside a
sum at five per cent that would pro-
vide a $1,000 yearly salary. for an
army of $4,000 teachers and like
salary for another army of $4,000
nurses"
Yet there is constant talk about
another war. 1t would probably be
going on now if the nations had the
money or credit whereby it could be
financed, and it seems bound to come
eventually. And we call this an age
Of civilization.

pounds and the year average of
$4,000 pounds. Sirup production

TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEER
FIREMEN

DR.. H. C. Byrd, President of the
University of Maryland, annunced re-
Gently that the Volunteer Firemen's
Fire Training Extension Department
of the University of Maryland would
be in operation after October l, 1887,
when the $4,000 appropriated be-
comes available.
This fund was included in the new
University budget that passed the
last session of the Legislature. Part
of the fund would cover travelling ex-
penses, clerical hire, printing of fire
fighting manuals and pamphlets, and
the regular Short Course Fire Col
lege held annually at the University
of Maryland, College Park, in Sep
TENDER.
The newly created department will
be under the supervision of DR.. S. S.
Steinberg, Dean of the College of
Engineering. Following confer
ence with the Fire College Committee
of the Maryland State Firemen's AS
ISOLATION Dean Steinberg announced
that an itinerant fire training in
structor would be appointed to travel
throughout Maryland conducting
Fire Training Schools for volunteer
firemen in the local fire houses.
The local Fire Schools as well as
the annual Short Course are to be
given free to volunteer firemen in an
effort to help reduce the number OF
INJURIES to- firemen and to increase
he efficiency of the fire departments
throughout the state, enabling them
to render the best possible service to
their communities.

BIRTH AND DEATH RECORDS I'M
PORTANT SOURCES OF
INFORMATION

In order that aid for dependent
children from Social Security Funds,
may be arranged for without avoid
able delays, the Board of State Aid
and Charities-by which the funds
are administered-and the State De-
partment of Health, have worked
out a cooperative plan of procedure
for assembling the information that
must be secured before the family
allowance may be granted.
In outlining the plan, DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said: Under the
terms of the Act, a dependent child
is defined as 'one under sixteen years
of age who has been deprived of
parental support because of the
death, continued absence from home,
or incapacity, either physical or men
tai, of the parent. He must also be
living in the home of a near relative.
Persons who apply for aid for de-
pendent children under the Social
Security Act, must furnish satisfac-
Tory proof as to the place of birth,
age and parentage of each child.
There must also be authoritative
proof of death in case the child is
dependent because of the death of
either or both parents. The funds
in each county are administered by a
County Board of Welfare and appli-
cations for aid are made to the local
Board.
"If the person who makes the ap-
plication is able to submit a copy of
the birth certificate of the child, the
necessary information can usually be
obtained from the certificate. If a
copy of the child's birth certificate is
not available, the information sup
piled by the applicant is forwarded
by the Secretary of the Welfare
Board to the County Registrar of
births and deaths-who is usually
the County Health Officer-and he
is asked to check it up against the
birth records on file in the County
Health Department Office. If there
IS no record of the child's birth in
that office, the inquiry is forwarded
to the State Department of Health
for further search by the State Blu
reau of Vital Statistics.
IF authoritative proof of the
death of either or both parents is
needed, similar procedure is followed
in checking up any available infor-
nation.
"In order that there may be no
hitch in administering the funds for
dependent children, it is obvious
that very great care should be taken
by all in any way interested, to give
as complete and accurate informa-
ton as possible, especially with re-
gard to names and dates"

FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES

Strikes more far-reaching than we
have ever known continue to upset
the affairs of the Nation. Millions
have been lost in wages and in
goods. The Philadelphia Inquirer
describes the condition as one result
ing from "trespass" and of law de-
fiance and of constant peril of tragic
disorder. Further results of these
far-reaching strikes were purchased
at a cost of suffering on the part OF
the wives and children Of the strik-
ers and of the wives and children OF
those who wanted to work but were
denied this right" added the In
Quirer.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1937-06-04

American workmen are known to
be the best in the World. Nearly all
American industries are now paying
the highest wages ever known-and
as employers they are the best in the
World. So why all this needless
trouble In industries?
Collective bargaining is an estab-
lished and acceptable principle with
most of the industries. The differ
ences over the question split on the
issue of who has the right to bargain
for employees. The companies want
to do their business with their own
employees. The employees usually
want to do their bargaining with
their own employers. Thus, the
managers and workmen have paral-
lei interests.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1937-06-04

Frequent references by editorial
and magazine writers are made to
the rather remarkable statute in
England which holds strike illegal
unless it is concerned specifically
with a trade dispute within the par
ticular trade industry wherein the
striking workers are engaged. The
strike is illegal if it is designed to
coerce the Government, or if it would
probably inflict hardship upon the
general public.
1t seems fair and reasonable that
employers and employees in our own
country should be subject to equal
responsibility to the public.
