GAVE HIM THE AIR
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I've been going with girl for
a year, and hope some day to
marry her. So far her people
have always treated me o. K.
and everything was going along
smoothly until the other night,
When I brought her home from
the movies, right after the show
ended, her dad was waiting for
me on the sidewalk and gave me
the dickens, calling me all sorts
of things, and accusing me of
untruths and threatening to
throw me out If I ever showed
up there again. The whole
block took to its windows, my
girl began % cry, and after q
while I stepped on the gas and
drove away.
I don't know what Is was all
about, and think the old man
must have been drinking. Next
day I wrote to the girl but
haven't had an answer as yet.
The girls mother telephoned
me and said she was sorry and
hoped I'd forgive Mr.. -
What do you think Of this?
MAC.
I'm inclined to agree with you
that the old gentleman had
been patronizing a bar and that
he wasn't quite accountable for
the TRADE. At the same time, it
was pretty uncomfortable for
you to stand a call down before
the neighbors. Unless miss my
guess, an apology from father
will be forthcoming in a day or
two. And as you're in love with
the girl and nothing of the kind
has happened before, it might
be as well to forgive and forget
at least, this once.

NECESSARY TO
VACCINATE CHILD
Must Be Done Before Be
ginning of School, DR..
Riley Says

DON'T forget your youngster
will have to be vaccinated against
smallpox before he or she can be
enrolled in any public school in
Maryland. Have it attended to
without any further delay, if it
has not already been DONE, is the
advice of DR.. R. H. Riley Direc-
tor of the State Department OF
Health to parents of children who
have reached school age this year
and who will start to school this
fall.
"Our Maryland Law" DR.. Riley
continued requires every child 20
be vaccinated against smallpox
before he or she can be enrolled
in any public school in the State.
Physicians are expected to vac
cinate all babies under their care
before the children are year OLD.
Until the children are of school
age. the responsibility for having
it done rests with the parents.
After that it is shared with the
teachers and other school authorl-
ties. ANY teacher, school trustee
or commissioner of public school
who admits a child who has not
been successfully vaccinated
against smallpox is liable to fine
of $1,000.
Smallpox is very contagious.
Anybody who has not been pro
tected against it is likely to con-
tract the disease if exposed to it.
It is much more prevalent than
any one is likely to realize who
does not keep in touch with health
and sickness conditions in other
parts of the country. The only

way to avoid having the disease
is through vaccination.
1--WE have had only two cases
of smallpox in Maryland in the
last eight years, one in 1881 and
the other in 1885. Our slate is
clean and unblemished for 1890,
1882, 1888, 1884. 1886, 1887 and
up to the present for 1888.
There is a very different pict-
ure in others parts of the country.
The weekly reports of the United
States Public Health Service show
that over twelve thousand persons,
in various parts of the United
States, have had smallpox in the
last seven months from January
l to July 81, 1888. This was near
ly five thousand more cases than
were reported during the CORE
spending period of 1897. Over
half the states in the Union were
represented in these totals. The
majority, of the cases occurred
of course, in states in which vac

ment expressed that the John l..

exhibition hall on the Fairgrounds
should be placed at a more prom

Mr.. Cost. who was prominently

At it's present location not
many people see it, only at talr
times or possibly on several other
occasions when there is something
going on at the Fairgrounds. Also
thoughtless persons, or those ma
ficiously inclined, are prone TO
damage the marker; in fact, this
has been done to some extent by
those who would make a target
of it.
There are plots of ground owned
by the city on which weeds are
growing, especially in the north

pointed out is the plot of ground

VIRGINIA ATTACK
Mrs. Miller, Victim, Is
Confined to Home

A sex maniac, who last night
attacked a woman near her home
in Ballston, Va, was being sought
by police today.
Mrs. Virginia Miller, 30, the
victim, was confined to her home
today, while police we're seeking
some clue to the identity of her
assailant.
Mrs. Miller was unable to give
a description of her attacker other
than that he wore a black mask
over his face. Detectives believe
he plotted the attack some time,
as he apparently knew it was Mrs.
Miller's habit to walk from the
Wilson Boulevard bus stop through
an alley to reach her home.
HID BEHIND GARAGE
The attack took place last night
as Mrs. Miller was on her way
home from work. She is EN-.
ployed as a bookkeeper in the
Commercial Credit Company.
AS she walked through the alley
the man, who she believes may
have been colored, leaped out
from behind garage and seized
her. She begged him:
Take my purse, but don't
hurt me-"
The man answered:
"I don't want that. I want
you, and I've got you now"
With that he struck her over
the head several times with the
butt of a pistol or some blunt in
strument. AS she fell he tore her
clothing from her body, struck her
several more times and, taking her
lipstick from her purse, smeared
it over her face.
BOUND AND GAGGED
After beating Mrs. Miller uncon.
scious, the attacker bound her
hand and foot and gagged her.
When she regained consciousness
she managed to loosen the gag
and scream for help. Charles
James, who lives in the vicinity,
rushed to her rescue. He took her
to the office of DR.. John r. Hazel,
where her wounds were treated,
and she was taken to her home in
the 4100 block of North Ninth St.
The attacker took SO before he
fled.

hood. but no trace of the marau-
der was found.
Mrs. Miller, the mother Of two

her husband, who is believed to
be somewhere in Delaware. She is
