dren and young people.
All Halloween activities are to be

Mercury Drops to 16 Degrees
Last Saturday Morning

Chilling winds during the day and
clear moonlight nights brought the
temperature below the freezing mark
several times last week and this week,
the mercury dropping unexpectedly
last Saturday morning to 16. This
caused a rush to garages by automo-
bile owners in order to prepare their
radiators for winter and consequently
colder weather.
The day previous the mercury was
lowered to % degrees, which was the
same as Frostburg and Duluth, Mimi.
Temperature in Baltimore dropped to
SO in the business district.
In this section there were heavy
frosts. The highest temperature re-
corded for the past week was on Tues
day when the thermometer showed
". This was just prior to a heavy
wind storm which brought cool wave
to this territory.

TRAFFIC DEATHS MOUNT
STEADILY DURING YEAR
Increase of 10 Deaths in Septem-
Der Over Same Period in 1886

The total number of fatal highway
accidents for Maryland for the first
nine months of 1897 has increased %
per cent over the corresponding per-
iod of 1886, according to Walter R.
Rudy, Commissioner of Motor Vehi-
cles, in a special notice to newspapers
of the State. There was also an in
crease of nineteen deaths or fifty
three per cent for the month of Sep
aember over the same month of 1886.
Up to October 1 the total had reached
the appalling figures of Alb deaths due
to motor accidents.
Of the fifty-fve persons killed dur
ing September, 25 were pedestrians,
II were passengers and IS were driv-
ers. Most of these deaths occurred in
rural sections.
A safety committee has been APP
pointed by Governor Harry w. Nice
in order to continue war on traffic
hazards. The Governor also announced
GIldI uS UOllSNCu IuC OIdIC AlOOoCN
$1OO,OO0,OOO for new road construc-
ton.
eff we are to cope with this situa-
ton in an intelligent manner" Mr..
Rudy said, eve must make thorough
research with respect to all contribut-
ing causes, such as weather condi-
tions, traffic, time of day, etc. Once
the actual cause is definitely known
and the method of correction tried
and proved, we will then have a yard
stick which our construction engineers
can incorporate in all future construc-
ton or reconstruction.
"In addition we will have substan-
tiating facts which will picture the
specific benefits that adequate
patrolling, better educational efforts
and other safety facilities can bring.
This is a problem for each and every
individual in this State"

ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALISTS
EXAMINED III PATIENTS
Semi-Annual Clinic For Cripples
Was Conducted Last Wednes-
day and Thursday In Oakland
OVER so ARE NEW CASES

The Garrett County Court House
echoed with the sound of crutches and
braces last Wednesday and Thursday
as the semi-annual two-day clinic for
orthopedic cases was conducted.
Patients from all over the county
came to be treated and examined,
some of them for the first time. They
consisted of children of tender age,
youths and maidens, middle-aged men
and women. When the two-day clinic
came to an end it was found that III
patients had been there. More than
fifty of them were entirely new cases.
DR.. George E. Bennett, bone special
ist, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Balti-
more, was in charge, and he was as
sisted by DR.. George Eaton, Miss Mary
E. Church, executive secretary of the
Maryland League for Crippled Chill
dren; Miss Jane M. Oliver, orthopedic
nurse, State Department Of Health,
and the local health staff. The clinics
here are sponsored by the orthopedic
committee of the Oakland Civic Club.
The club gave a luncheon on Thurs
dav for DR.. Bennett and his staff of
co-workers.
Patients for the clinic were trans
ported to Oakland by their parents or
others interested and through sched-
ule carefully arranged by DR.. E. G.
Peck, County Health officer, there was
very little waiting on the part OF the
patients for an examination. There
were some on crutches and many of
the patients legs were supported by
braces who had attended former elm
les and who were regaining their
former strength and health. Other pa
tients, in comparison, had only minor
ailments, such as poor posture, flat
feet, etc. All, however, were given the
advantage of the doctors experience
and skill and given advice on how to
improve their condition.
Miss Church, in speaking of the
plans of the League, stated that occu-
pational therapy for the home-con-
fined patients is one of the plans. By
this means the patient is taught to
make many saleable articles and thus
contribute to his own support while
training the weak and inactive mus
cles to function again.
