proved by his office.

ent children, and aid to the blind, to-
tails 81 SAT ,6l6-an increase of approx
imately 100000 over the sum allotted
for the same period in 1886.

ture of S36,078 has been approved for
Montgomery County $3l 100 for Prince

Prince Georges, STA in st. MaryS. S553
IN Frederick Charles and Howard

such ALLEGATIONS.
The increase in the Statewide total
resulted largely from expanded pro-
grams in these three divisions, Shan
nahan explained. He added that,

time last year, they now are nearing
their peak-accounting for the marked
Increase.

geted last year, and S4O,l13 for aid to
the blind, as against S31 SAT appro-
priated in the same quarter of 1896.
The increases in each were also
charged to shifts of beneficiaries from
direct relief into one of the three class
iflcations. The direct relief load
figures for which were not available
shows a marked decrease over last
year. Shannahan explained.
Of the total allotment. the Federal
Government provided 1868 ,09l; the
State $685. and local governments

MONTGOMERY LEADS
IN XMAS SEAL SALES
Washington County Now
Stands Fifth, State
Reports

Washington county in the
Christmas eve reports of the
Christmas Seal Sale chairmen Of
the various counties, stood fifth
in the State. Montgomery county
led with $2,951.99, followed, in
order. by Baltimore, with 81
5775S; Anne Arundel, $1.s2721;
Allegany, $1,000; Washington, ST.
5G5.25, and frederick s1,37S.14.
Baltimore, first district, gave
s542.65.
These reports show an encour-
aging total for the State, total
which, if generously added to by
those who have not as yet paid
for their seals, will certainly as
sure an intensive anti-tuberculo-
sis program throughout Maryland.
William B. Matthews. managing
director of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association, said of the
sale:
IF those who still retain their
seals and have not as yet paid for
them. respond as we'll as those
who have already paid, the sale
should go over the top in each
county.
"A successful seal sale will
make possible an anti-tuberculo-
sis program in each county as the
money raised in a. county is spent
where it was contributed. A small
percentage only is taken by the
State Association and that is used
to help out the smaller and less
populated counties which are I'M
able to completely finance a pro-
gram of their own. 1t is not too
late to buy and use Christmas
seals. Place one on each letter
and package throughout the holt
day season and help spread the
message as well as finance the
work"

1T is quite as important to have

Neglect in either case is likely to

HEALTH BUDGETING
TIME Is NOW HERE
DR.. Riley Says Periodi-
cal Check-up Is
Necessary

Speaking of budgets, DR.. r.. II.
Riley, director of the State De
partment of Health, makes the
following suggestions:
IF you haven't done so recent
ly, go to your doctor and have an
inventory made Of your health as
sets. If the audit shows that you
have liabilities as well as assets,
it is better for you to know about
them, so that you can budget your
health intelligently.
In a recent survey of chronic
illness in the United States, COW
ering a representative population
of over 100000 persons, in wide
ly separated parts of the country,
it was found that one of every
five had some chonic disease, or
suffered from a serious defect of
vision or hearing or from some
other permanent physical disabil-
ity. Responsibility for large
part of the chronic illness was
charged to diseases of the heart
and arteries, the mental and ner-
vous diseases, rheumatism, tuber-
culosis, cancer, diabetes, chronic
diseases of the gall bladder and
the complications of syphilis.
while we are inclined to asso-
ciate disability from such sources
with middle age or the older
groups, it is interesting to note
that among the persons studied
these conditions existed in about
equal proportion among young
adults as in the middle aged and
older groups. 1t was observed
also that the increase in the in
cidence of chronic diseases began
with those just reaching manhood
and womanhood-tho from 20
years old and upward reach
ed the maximum in the oldest age
groups.
"The point of special interest in
this connection is that nearly
every one of these chronic dis
eases starts with slow beginnings
that may not even be recognized
by the individual, but that often
may be readily detected in a care
full medical examination. Every
discovery may not make complete
recovery possible, but in many in-I
stances, through attention to
every day matters such as rest
and recreation through some mod
ton of diet, or through some

Henderson Ends Season;
Splits With Middeburg
Girls Rally to Defeat Visito 2212; Boys Outcassed
by Middleburg, Losing Fl IL; Girls Won Nine, Lost
Nine While Boys Won H. Lost Six for Season

Henderson took an early lead In the
girls contest, but at the half whistle
found Henderson trailing to 5.
With the opening of the third quar-
ter, Henderson really started to work
in the scoring department, rolling up
II points in the second half, while
holding the visitors to five, all of
those being shot by Miss Jackson.
Captain Frances Daniel ended her
high school cage career in a blaze of
glory, leading her team with II points,
while turning in fine floor game.
She was ably assisted by Miss Blake,
who accounted for eight points. Miss
Perry, a substitute forward, dropped
in a field goal to account for the re-
naming score.
Much of Henderson's victory credit
should go to those unsung heroines
that guard the visiting basket Misses
Hedrick, Ayscue and Stainback turn
ed in superb performances in guard
ing. These girls were all over the
floor, holdinc dow Middleburg's ace
forwards to nc .-.--.-,1. am. Miss Wiki
inson did yoeman service as a for
ward and then again as a guard. Miss
Sylvia Loughlin also turned in a fine
performance during her stay on the
court. The entire Henderson team
seemed inspired in rolling up their
win, and would not be denied in their
splurge during the second half.
Boys Really Battle
AS much as the girls game went to
Henderson, the boys tilt went to Mid
dleburg as Ellington. Nelson and
Jackson paced the county lads to VIC
tory. Middleburg got off to a fast
start, leading Henderson at the half,
10 to 4. Henderson came back in the
second half to play the winners on
even terms. Fouls flew thick and fast
during the encounter.
Captain Ellington led Middleburg in
scoring with eight points. Nelson got
six, Jackson got three and Hendrick
got two.
Captain Turner got half of Hender-
sons points, sinking three long shots
from the floor. McIlhenny got three

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, March 4-The exact date
on which the General Assembly will
go to Edenton for it's one-day session
in the States former capital has not
yet been definitely determined, but
it is now expected that it will go to
Edenton some time next week, be-
tween Tuesday and Friday It has al
ready been definitely decided that the
assembly will not meet in Edenton
over any weekend, since it was
agreed that it would be impossible to
get anything like a full attendance of
the membership, due to the usual long
week-ends taken by most of the mem
bers.
"I'he lieutenant governor and the
speaker of the house have agreed to
hold a conference Friday and at the
time set the date for the meeting in
Edenton," Representative John Fer
nando White, of Chowan county and
Edenton, said today. "Indications are,
however, that the date selected will
come along in the middle of next
week, since most of the members of
both houses seem to agree that it will
be better to make this trip in the mid
Weekend"
No decision has 5een reached as
yet as to whether the members will
make the trip in buses or by train,
although indications point strongly
towards the use of buses, since one of
the large bus transportation compan-
les here has offered to provide the
trip without any cost to the members,
provided the trip is made during the
middle of the week instead of over
the weekend.
The Norfolk Southern railroad of
fered to run a special train from Ra-
leigh to Edenton, with. luxurious chair
cars and parlor cars for the legisla-
tors, at a cost of only 81 for the round
trip. Regulations prevent it's carrying
the legislators free. Accordingly, the
betting is now on the buses.

The House leaders, aware the pres

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
Tn tho Sir TN1lfNr HOfAl


Raleigh, March 1.-The Senate We'd
nesday adopted the most rigid anti
Slot machine bill ever presented to
the General Assembly.
The senators did it without record
vote, but over the vigorous objection
of Senator Wall G. Ewing, from Cum
berland, the so-called "slot machine
capital of North Carolina.
The bill was the pet measure of
Senator Ed Flanagan, of Pitt, who
made powerful appeal to the Senate
members to support it. Amendments
offered by Senator T. J. Gold, Gull
ford, and Gi1mer Sparger, Stokes,
were roared down after the bills
sponsor stated that adoption of "just
this little amendment and that little
amendment will cut the CUTS complete
ly out of the bill"
Senator Gold would have exempted
pin and marble tables which do not
pay off in money or checks. Senator
Sparger perhaps more in a spirit of
levity than otherwise, pleaded for the
exemption of Stokes county from the
bill on the grounds that eastern SEN
ators had established the local option
principle in enactment of the county
option liquor law and should permit
the Stokes board of county commits
sioners discretion in the matter of
banning slot machines.
At present superior court judges
differ as to the Interpretation of the
States slot machine law. Theren be
no difference possible if the Elan
nagan bill passes the House.

that he did not vote on the prevail

Randolph, came to his rescue with a
motion to reconsider. This the chair
permitted despite the fact it was not
made within the time prescribed by
the Senate rules. Then the Senate vet-
ed. 26 to II, to amend the Pittman
nill to require two years separation.

regarded as being more positive and

if this bill is passed by the House, the
belief is that the Senate will also en-
