as cause of illness in children, vel
this malady appears far more frequent
ly in young children than one would
generally suppose.
"A dramatic incident which recent
ly occurred in the southern section
of the city is typical Of the entire
problem. A workman painted the
fence of the factory where he was en-
ployed.
Having some paint left over, he
painted his child's high chair and bed.
Several months later the infant was
dead of lead poisoning. Subsequent
investigation showed that the child had
chewed on the paint and that the
paint was of high lead content.
Improved and more readily avail
able methods of detecting lead in the
blood and the other body fluids, to-
gether with growing lead conscious
ness on the part of the medical pro-
fession are factors largely responsible
for the increased recognition of this
condition in children"

SOMERSET WOMAN DIES
AFTER FALL FROM WINDOW

Mrs. A. B. Holland, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary
(Mame)) Chamberlin, in Westover,
last week.
The deceased, 81 years old, died
from injuries sustained when she fell
from second story window to a
pavement below. Mystery surrounds
the cause of the accident, but it is
thought possible that the elderly lady
might have lost her balance peer
ing out of the window, walking in her
sleep also has been advanced as a
plausible explanation of the tragedy.

FARMERS NOT CAREFUL
IN FLOWING FIELDS

Farmers in Caroline county are US
uaIly ready to howl if their dirt roads
are not kept in shape. That is their
privilege. But there is another side
to the picture, in blowing season.
This year there have been a num-
Der of complaints of farmers using
the dirt roads as aids in blowing to
the detriment of bitches and roads
surfaces.
In 80 per cent of the cases where
farmers have no fences bordering the
highways the charge is brought that
they plow burrows at right angles
to the road, clear to the edge, and
then turn the plow in the road. In
some cases they use tractors and turn

Them around in the highway.

them around in the highway.
In so doing they frequently fill up
the bitches, scar up the road and make
the surface bumpy.
No one district is accused particu-
larly of this practice. It is said to b
done all over the county.
The next step is to expect road
crews to go back over the road, open
bitches again and scrape the surface.
A little thoughtfulness and coopera-
ton on the part of farmers will elimi-
nate this source of road difficulty.
There may be some extra work In
blowing headland along the road
edge and leaving a strip where plOwB
and tractors can be turned about
without injuring bitches and road sur
faces. If every farmer took this
trouble it would be an aid to better
roads.
The money spent in sending crews
to repair road previously put in
shape could we'll be utilized somewhere
else on the county highways.
