In the June 25 issue of the U. S. Pub
lie Health Reports there is an article
by M. V. Veldee, surgeon in the U. S.
Public Health Service, describing the
preparation and use Of his new mater
ial which is used to prevent scarlet
fever. This is the best method for pre-
vention of scarlet fever which has
been devised so far, according to DR..
Peck.
In the article DR.. Veldee expresses
his thanks to DR.. Peck and DIR. Joseph
P. Franklin of the Garrett and Allie
gany County health departments for
their cooperation in a field demon
stration of the usefulness of this
product.
"Since its use in this county the
number of cases of scarlet fever is
much less than formerly" DR.. Peck
stated, "and a study of the cases which
occurred shows that almost all of the
children given this material do not
take the disease even when case oc-
ours in family where some Of the
children are protected"

RACKET in FORGERY LINE
IS UNCOVERED YESTERDAY
A Spurious Order of Mayor and
Council Had Been Passed In A
Cumberland Newspaper Office
SEVERAL NAMES ON PAPER

Another "racket" in the forgery
line was uncovered yesterday when a
forged city order turned up at the
First National Bank, but the person
who committed the fraud has not been
apprehended.
An order for $4,000 drawn on the
village of Oakland, through the First
National Bank, and made out to M.
E. Goehringer, of Accident, an inno-
cent party, was received here yester-
day. The order was signed by w. o.
West, clerk, and some Taylor" as
treasurer, and several signatures
were also on the back.
The order was cashed at the office
of the Cumberland Evening Times on
July 7. A subscription was ordered
for Mr.. Goehringer, and the forger
received $500 in change.
When authorities called yesterday
on Mr.. Goehringer, the latter stated
he had just started to receive the
paper and couldn't account for 1t IN
any way as none of the members of
his family had ordered it, and the
entire affair was a surprise to him.
Authorities were of the opinion
that the forger was well acquainted
in Accident and merely used Mr..
Goehringer's name in order to get the
order cashed. The order was printed
form, and it is evident that the forger
has quite a number and has been US
ing or expects to use this same meth
cd to forge other orders on other
towns.
The amount of the order was made
by a check writing machine. If the
culprit is not apprehended, the Even
ing Times office will be the loser by
$500.

MT. CHOIR FESTIVAL TO
Be PRESENTED JULY 1918
Nationally Known Musicians and
Educators To Take Part In
Fourth Annual Event
ORGAN RECITAL SATURDAY.

Maryland's Mountain Choir Festi-
val, arranged for Saturday and Sun
day, July II and IS, stands alone, it is
believed, in its aims and purposes. 1t
is the beginning of a recently initiated
movement to restore to modern use the
fine old chants and almost forgotten
church ritual of the sixth century-not
by highly trained professional choirs
of picked voices-but by church choirs
in both small and large communities
everywhere.
This venture was started and is be-
ing continued by the festivals founder
and director, Rev. Felix G. Robinson,
who was recently appointed to the fac
ulty of Westminster Choir School as
lecturer on the Christian Liturgies.
Nationally known musicians and ed
ucators will take part in the fourth
annual festival, to be held in the open
air, rainproof amphitheatre at Noun
tain Lake Park.
DR.. John Finley Williamson, distin-
guished conductor of the Westminster
Choir, will lead the festival chorus of
perhaps a thousand voices on Sunday
night; DR.. Harvey Gaul, organist and
choirmaster, Pittsburgh, will act as
adjudicator of the festivals choir con-
test Sunday afternoon, and Henry Hol-
den Huss, American composer, has
written a new chorus, winged Mes
sengers of Peace" to have it's premiere
this Sunday, July IS, in connection
with the festival.
An organ recital will be presented
on Saturday evening, with John Elter-
mann, of Baltimore, at the manual.
The organ is being brought to the Park
from Baltimore by truck. During the
intermission Howard Robinson, lyric
tenor, Baltimore, will sing and Maude
Muller Fink will give several selections
on the harp.
On Sunday afternoon, from 100 to
400 o'clock, the second session of the
festival will feature the annual chorus
contest in which cash prizes totaling
SITS are offered. Then choirs, vested,
and each having about thirty-five
members, will compete for the first
prize of $500. Baltimore, Pittsburgh,
Cumberland, Hagerstown, York, Key
ser and other towns will be repre-
sented. A portion of the afternoons
program will be broadcast.
In the evening there will be SOL
emn procession at sunset, in which
many choristers, altar boys and clergy
will take part. Rev. Robinson will act
as celebrant during Choral Euchar-
list. Music and text for this date from
the sixth century.
The Mountain Choir Festival came
into existence through the efforts of
Rev. Robinson. From the inception of
the project the aim has been to help in
establishing higher standards of choral
singing, particularly as employed in
church worship, and as a benefit for a
summer school for clergymen, organ
lists and choir directors.

A LOT OF SOAP

$4,000 cash, when alive;
500 worth of soap fat when
dead-that's an elephant.
The Haag Shows, the cir
Gus which gave two perform
ances here in Oakland on last
Monday, claimed that their
elephans were worth that
much.
When the show left Ebens-
burg, Pa, enroute to Oakland
they had two elephants. On
the way the truck carrying
one of them wrecked and the
elephants neck was broken,
was the report.
The carcass was sold to a
representative of a soap COM
pany for 500.
From $4,000 to $500 is
boiling it down some, and
that's what the soap COM
pany expects to do-boil
down the carcass for the fat.
Circus elephants often die
of old age, but who ever
heard before of an elephant
breaking his neck?
