Why Irish Keep Pigs

Pigs and potatoes are found
everywhere in Ireland. Why? Be-
cause the Irish have great faith in
the goodness of st. Anthony, whose
symbol is a pig, says London Tit
Bits Magazine. In Westminster
abbey he appears as bearded fig
ure with a frock and scapular, pig
at his side. Because of this it be-
came customary for each village to
keep common pig at the expense
of the parish. 1t had a bell hung
round its neck and was allowed
everywhere, and villagers We'd with
each other to provide tit-bits for the
Anthony Pig" In time these
animals degenerated into inveterate
and cunning beggars and eventual
ly saying was coined: "Such an
one will follow and whine as if it
were an Anthony Pig"

JOHN HANSON MEMORIAL
TABLET UNVEILED

The establishment of public park
in honor of John Hanson of Mary
land in which would be placed a
replica of his statue erected some
years ago in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol at Washington, D. c., was
urged upon the people of Maryland
during the dedication of memorial
tablet in the Court house at Fred
erick, which was the home of this
distinguished American Revolution
airy patriot, and the first president
of the United States in Congress
Assembled.
The audience enthusiastically re-
ceived this suggestion which was adj
vocated by Senator Ernest Lundeen
of Minnesota. The people of Fred
erick expressed a strong desire to
have in their midst park in honor
of John Hanson, their compatriot.
William N. Morell, Bethesda, ex-
ecutive secretary of the John Hanson
Society of Maryland, under whose
auspices the memorial tablet was
dedicated, favored the plan to erect
shine in Frederick to John
Hansen the "first president of the
United States in Congress ASSEMBLE
ed', like the Barbara Fritchie and
the U. S. Chief Justice fancy Houses
there.
Senator Radcliffe, of Maryland,
spoke Of how when John Hanson was
elected U. S. President He started
from scratch" as there was no gov
eminent whatsoever in existence
upon his Inauguration. John Hanson
descended from the original Della
ware Colonists.
The memorial tablet in Frederick
Court House, where U. S. Chief JUS
tice fancy, who swore in seven U. s.
Presidents, including Lincoln, used
to preside, was unveiled by John
Hanson Briscoe, of Prince Frederick,
Calvert County, great-great-great
grandnephew of Hanson.
Attorney Delaplaine accepted the
socitey's gift with thanks on behalf
of the Commissioners and citizens of
Frederick.
John Hanson was president of the
United States in Congress assem-
bled from November 9Th, 1881, to
November 4th, 1882; served as
Chairman of the Committee of OBJ
servation, Frederick County; signer
non-importation resolution, associa-
ton of Freeman, and articles of Con-
federation; member, House of Dele
gates, Provincial Convention and
Continental Congress; and Treasurer
of Frederick County.

OUR NATIONS BIRTHDAY, JULY
4TH, 1870

Our second president, John Adams,
poured out his very soul in support
Of the Declaration of Independence
before the document was signed.
We quote herewith:
but whatever may be our fate,
be assured that this Declaration will
stand. 1t may cost treasure, and it
may cost blood, but it will stand, and
it will compensate for both. Through
the thick gloom of the present, / see
the brightness of the future, as the
sun in heaven. We shall make this a
glorious, an immortal day. When we
are in our graves, our children will
honor it. They will celebrate it with
festivity, with bonfires and illumina-
tons. On it's annual return, they
will shed tears, copious, gushing
tears, not of subsection and slavery,
not of agony and distress, but OF
exultation, of gratitude and joy.
Sir, before God, l believe the hour
is come My judgment approves this
measure, and my whole heart is in
II. All ludI L AuNOJ eulu GIL Ihett "AAA'
and all that l hope, in this life, am
now ready here to stake upon it. And
l leave off as l began, that, live or
die, survive or perish, | am for the
Declaration. 1t is my living senti-
ment, and by the blessing of God it
shall be my dying sentiment.
independence now, and indie
pendence forever!"
There is not a real American
who does not thrill at the story of
how colonial leaders affixed their
signatures to the Declaration of In
dependence-the document which
gave birth to our mighty nation. Let
us stimulate a greater spirit OF
patriotism, and thereby deal telling
blows to those in America who seek
to undermine our constitution.

Why Finland Owes War Debt

Finland's debt was due to a post
war loan for use in relief and to
provide supplies. At the beginning of
the World war the Firms fought with
Russia, as they were then Russian
subjects. Finland's independence
came as a result of the World war.
When the nation broke away there
was a dearth of all supplies, and
it was then that an appeal was
made to this country and as a result
the loan was made by the United
States to Finland.

SPEED LAW ENFORCED IN
PENNSYLVANIA

Enforcement of the 5O-miles an
hour speed law in Pennsylvania has
not only cut down fatal accidents on
the open road, but has reduced in
exactly the same proportion fatal
tiles in cities and boroughs.
That finding is disclosed by Key
stone Automobile Club survey of ac-
cident figures for the first four
months of this year. at is most
gratifying to note" said William S.
Canning, Engineering Director of the
Club, that in both rural and built
up sections fatal highway accidents
have been reduced S3 per cent under
the figures for the same period in
1887. We believe enforcement Of the
5O-mile law ON the open road has
had such effect on motor vehicle
operators that driving habits are ua-
dergoing a definite change, which
will be reflected in even greater &C
cident reduction as the campaign OF
strict enforcement continues"

BRIGHT CHAPTER

The Metropolitan Cooperative Milk
Producers Bargaining Agency of New
York, recently made this interesting
statement: mo marketing agree
ment of price order has ever been
successful in any market except
where it had the backing of sound
cooperatives.
History affords proof of that. Re-
sponsibility is vital carrying out
any agreement-and the sound CO.
operatives have proven themselves
to be as responsible as amy business.
Loyalty backed by their members,
stated by experts, they agree on no
policy that is not generally benefic-
ial-and when they do agree they
carry it through.
This history of farm marketing
cooperation in the United States
affords one of the brightest chapters
in the age-old story of agricultural
change and development

What Oid-Age Insurance Means 20
Youth

The Old-Age Insurance program
has a direct meaning for young
people. Most of them will go to work
before long, and, as soon as they do.
the majority of them will come un-
der this provision of the Social Sec
urity Act. Boys and girls who are
holding their first jobs in commerce
or industry are beginning now to
provide for the future.
Many young people think that the
subject OF old-age insurance is for
older people to consider. They say
they are not very much concerned
about their old age, because 1t is
too far away. Furthermore, they
state that they could use the fifteen
or twenty cents a week that Is taken
out of their wages for taxes.
Any self-reliant young man feels
that he will be able to provide for
his future. But what about the other
fellow who will never earn much
and never save a penny of that? II
Uncle Sam makes 1t possible for him
to accumulate benefits which will
provide monthly checks for him af-
ter he is IS, then the self-ielian. one
will not have to help feed HIM or
his, in the years to come.
Here is another reason why youth
should be interested in the old-age
insurance system: The satisfaction of
knowing that parent will have a
regular monthly check during his or
her last years is worth much, even
if the young worker does have long
time to wait for his own retirement
benefits. Payments received by re-
tired workers in the household, af-
ter 1912, will enable younger men,
bers of the family to use their own
earnings for themselves or their
little children.
For the workers old-age, the Soc
ial Security Act provides an income
payment after age 65. The amount
of old-age insurance payments will
depend upon the amount of wages
received after the last day of 1886
and before the worker reaches age
65. Jobs In factories, mines, mills,
shops, stores, hotels-in fact most
jobs in commerce or industry are
covered by the law.

LOOK OUT FOR TICKS

Fourteen cases of spotted fever
tick-bite fever-have been reported
to the State Health Department from
widely separated parts of the State
since the first of May. There have
been four deaths from the disease.
AS ticks are apparently unusually
prevalent this year, DR.. r. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, urges vacationists, campers,
fishermen, owners of camps and
shores, and others whose business or
pleasul takes them into tick lnfest-
ed ares, to use all possible safe
guards against being bitten by the
insects and to take great care not to
crush the ticks in handling them.
Precautions advised by DR.. Riley
follows:
For some reason-weather con-
ditions possibly-ticks are unusual
ly ncmerous this year. Spotted few
er, which we generally speak OF as
tick-bite fever is spread by the bite
of infected ticks, or from absorbing
disease producing material from
crushed ticks Fortunately not all
ticks are infected but it is safest to
regard all ticks as possible sources
of danger and to act accordingly.
The dis ase does not spread from per-
son to person.
/. "Be careful in going through
tick Infested areas. Wear suitable
clothing.
2. "Cut out underground and
weeds; cut grass very short around
dwellings,; along paths leading to
bathing pools and shores. Remove
or burn debris. Spray the trails
around the settlement with cresosote
oil.
8. "Iemove ticks at once. Be very
careful in with drawing any found
on the person, and in taking ticks
off of dogs, horses, cattle or other
animals not to crush the insects be-
tween the fingers. The disease-pro-
ducing material may be absored into
the system through the slightest
scratch or break in the skin. If the
insect is embedded in the skin, use
forceps OF wear gloves in withdraw
ing it. Disinfect the spot from which
the insect has been withdrawn by
swabbing with iodine. Wash the
hands thoroughly with soap and
water after withdrawing tick"
The period between infection with
the disease bearing material and the
first appearance of tick-bite fever,
ranges from two days in some cases,
DR.. Riley said, to ten or twelve in
others. In the early stages tick-bite
fever may be confused with infiu-
enza, measles and typhoid fever. IL
is advisable, therefore. to call doc
tor promptly. II suspicious symptoms
develop after having been exposed to
ticks. Laboratory tests of the blooo
are valuable In confirming the dia-
gnosis.
The majority of the cases OF tick
bite fever that have been reported
In Maryland, have occurred between
May and September.

The preventorium is for children

tact with tuberculosis and need to

AIMING AND MOBOLIZING

Twenty years after the war to
make the world safe for democracy,
wrote Leland Stowe, a New York
Herald Tribune foreign correspon-
dent, recently, 100000 out OF
Europe's 5O,0OO,OOO people are liv-
ing under relationships in IL Euro
peon countries, and democracy IS
banished from four-fifths of contin-
entail Europe"
Sir Philip Gibbs, the well known
English novelist and journalist, mas
said: ''The nations are arming again.
Men who remember the last war
seem to be preparing for the next.
Nothing was learned, nothing was
settled, by that monstrous struggle.
For the past few weeks, since the
German-Czech border crisis was
averted, there has been quiet abroad.
But it has been an exceedingly
ominous quiet. The problems that
confront Europe grow steadily worse,
not better. The armament race,
which has been going on for year
or two, has been speeded up. Ana
while the governments concerned
attempt to keep it hidden, it is an
open secret that mobilization is I'M
derway by several major powers,
that almost all of the powers have
perfected plans which make it pos
sible to put the countries on war
basis in few hours, and that there
are more men and more munitions
at the various frontiers in Central
Europe than at any time in the past.
The place to watch is still Czecho-

ed down a few weeks ago, at time
when it seemed German invasion OF
the Sudeten territory was assured.
1t is not true, according to experts
in touch with affairs, that Hitler has
ait all changed his views or desires.
He felt then that the time was not
ripe and that the risk was too great,
largely, it is believed, because he
has not been given satisfactory as
surances that Italy will fight with
him if general war breaks out, in
spite of the Rome-Berlin axis. Mus
solini is apparently still pursuing a
fence-sitting policy. He wants to

be all that is holding the Reich in

REELECTION SOUGHT BY
GOLDSBOROUGH
Scion Decides to Ask Old Seat Rather
Than Run Against Tydings

Washington, June 19-Repre-
sentative 7. Alan Goldsborough of
Maryland, now serving his ninth
consecutive term as a member of the
House of Representatives from the
First, or Eastern Shore, district, yes
terday filed for reelection.
Goldsborough began his service in
the House with the Sixty-seventh
Congress, March 4th, 1921, and is
the dean of the State delegation in
point of service.
During the last few months he
frequently was mentioned as a can
didate for the Senate against Senator
Tydings, but decided to seek to re-
tain his present seat.
He has been second ranking ma
jority member of the Banking and
Currency Committee for several
years, and during the session just
ended acted as chairman of that
committee during consideration of
much important legislation.
In addition to his duties on the
Banking and Currency Committee,
Goldsborough has successfully prose-
cuted and obtained approval of
great number of waterway projects
on the Eastern Shore, a matter of
considerable importance to that part
of the state, because of the num-
erous rivers and creeks and the ex-
tonciva shOra line Of the CheSanaake
Bay.
Goldsborough also took an active
part in retaining the CCC camps on
the Eastern Shore and for placing
draining camps on the same basis as
other camps.

THE FOURTH

The Fourth of July, our great Ma
tional Holiday, is again at hand.
It is a time of vacation, of out
door recreation and for Young Amer
lea at time to let loose all sorts OF
noise-making devices,
the firecracker.
But there is another meaning, too,
q deeper one than just the fun and
frolic of the youngsters and others
OF us who celebrate the great holt
day. It is time of deep rejoicing
over the heritage that is ours, hand
ed down by our forefathers who mad
the courage and perseverance to
fight for the independence of this
country.
What a contrast is presented to-
day between our great Nation OF
free people and those living under
the iron rule of Hitler, where 1t is
even dangerous to think freedom!
AS the decades have rolled by
since that memorable occasion OF the
Declaration of Independence, this
nation, then struggling for It's
very existence, has grown into the
greatest power ON earth.
The foundation laid down by our
forefathers who gave us our indie
forefathers who gave us our mdepen-
dence, has been adequated to serve
through the ensuing years without
basic charge, guiding us and offerlng
incentive to every national action OF
note.
We shall march on to new trl-
umphs if we keep faith with those
ideals.
