MILK CONSIDERED
A MOST NEARLY
PERFECT FOOD
Of Great Importance To Grown
Ups AS Well AS To All
Children

Too many people think of milk as
a food for babies and growing chill
dren. They overlook the fact that
adults require the elements found in
milk to nourish their teeth and bones,
as we'll as to give balance to the diet.
Milk is the most nearly perfect food
It contains all the materials needed
by the body of the growing child.
No other food is so rich in minerals
required to build strong bones and
sound teeth. All milk is easily d.
gested.
The adult who adds milk to his daily
diet will usually note an improvement
in health. The fallacy that milk is
fattening has kept many persons,
young women in particular, from be-
coming milk drinkers.
Milk has fattening powers only to
the extent of the calories it contri-
butes, and quart of milk contains
about $50 carolies. If the body re-
quirement is 1000 to $500 calories
a day the intake of other foods may
be regulated so as to give milk its
proper place in the diet. These are
facts brought out during the nation
wide Drink More Milk" Drive, being
held from June 10 to July under
the sponsorship of chain stores and
dairy groups.
Such facts about milk merit the
consideration of every reader Of this
paper.
National Milk Month, which began
June 10th, should remind the people
that milk is of the greatest impor-
lance to the economic life and physical
welfare of the nation.
Twenty-Five million cows are milk
ed on about three-quarters of the ma
TONS six million farms. Milk is the
chief source of farm cash to some

is certain that this will to some extent
damage the crop which has not been
harvested though the majority OF
Northampton's Spring grown Irish

means that the water will inflict some

l snn 900 farm families.

All told, milk is the principal source
of income TO one out of every fifteen
families in the United States.
AS the largest single source of farm
income in the United States, milk in
1887 contributed $1,53O,0OO,OOO of
cash to the income of agriculture.
A larger per capita consumption of
milk would improve the general level
of public health and greatly aid the
farmers. Doctors, scientific organi-
cations and governments of most
every country in both Europe and
this hemisphere have urged larger
per capita milk consumption as a
means of improving the health of
their people.
The nationwide "Drink More Milk"
Drive from June 10 to July 9, will
make the public more conscious of the
Importance of milk in the diet and the
chain drug stores who are promot-
ing the Drive should be congratulated
on their aid to agriculture.
Archeologists recently discovered
pictures of domesticated cows believ-
ed to date from 5000 B. C. They
have revealed another chapter of an
tiquity in the history of the COW.
In the earliest times the possess
ion of COWS was the possession of
wealth. The word capital means
"head"-from heads of cattle.
Today we are again reminded of
the fact that a nationwide "Drink
More Milk" Drive is being held from
June 10th to July 9th under the aus
pices of leading dairy associations
and chain drug, variety, and grocery
stores. The Reads drug store of this
city is cooperating with thousands of
other retail outlets in directing spec
ial sales effort toward milk at this
time.
Milk is still one of our most i'm
portant foods and the most important
source of income to the farmer. The
more people can be induced to use
milk the better the farmers income.
Milk has a distinguished history.
The wandering children of Israel were
told that the Promised Land was one
FLOWING with milk and honey"
When Genghis Khan and his Mon
gol warriors swept through Asia and
eastern Europe dried milk was includ-
ed in their rations. When Marco
Polo travelled through Asia in the
18th century, he found dairy product
and great herds of fat cattle.
During the middle ages dairying
thrived but instead of milk being de-
livered to homes in containers as is
now the case, the cows were driven
from house to house and MIXED for
the customers.
Milk distribution as we know it is
modern development. The millions
of quarts of fresh milk on American
doorsteps every day are evidence of
the distribution system which makes
possible such extensive use of our
most important single food. And milk
is a food for which substitute has
never been discovered in ali of the
thousands Of years during which the
COW has served mankind.

POTATO GROWERS HURT
BY BLIGHT NFESTATION

Many of the local potato growers
are experiencing late blight infesta-
ton to some degree. Some growers
who have busted or sprayed with
Bordeaux have little or no infestation,
while others who have not sprayed
have considerable.
Many carloads of potatoes are ar
irving in market in bad condition due

Fortunately for many growers in
the lower half Of the county the sea-
SON this year is approximately ten
days ahead of normal year and they
moved their crop before the heavy
rains. However, the yield was not up
to standard and would have probably
improved somewhat if the crop had
not been harvested so rapidly, so all
in all, it looks as if nature had about
evened things up-that is, so far this
season.

better than that of California.

Coach Hardy Pearce can take
a bow as far as Jimmy is con-
cerned, for he rates the Mt.

three under whom he has played.
It's a mutual feeling, in a way,
because Hardy says the five-fOOt

is the outstanding player in his

VIC NoA1DO1OuSL1 11uI1Gs
Organized in November Of
1885 by Southern Maryland
gentry long interested in flat
races and the show ring, the
Marlborough Hunt enters the
best season of its brief career
with a record number of mem
berS and a new huntSman i'm
ported from Fairfax.
It's roster of 46 members in
cludes virtually all the promi-
nent families of the southern
end of Prince Georges county
the SaSscers, DuckettS and
Magruders, the Bowies, Clagetts,
Marburys and Halls. Not all of
them take active part in the
hunting field, but all are ac-
lively interested in furthering
the hunt.
HORSE TALK, HOT TODDIES
So braced are Southern Mary
landers at this years member
ship turnout that they have
rented a clubhouse on Ritchie
Road near the Clagett place
where, after a good days run,
hunt members and their guests
may gather before a roaring fire
for what many sportsmen con-
slider the best part of the days
sport - horse talk and hot
toddies.
There, too, will be installed
William C. Hatcher, the new
Marlborough huntsman, and his
Williamson Walker cross bred
hounds, of which Checkers and
Saddley are his pets. Mr..
Hatcher handled the American
bred pack at Middleburg with
which Mr.. Harry Wooster Smith
challenged and defeated the
visiting English hounds. He
has been huntsman for the
Loudoun outfit and lately with
the Fairfax Hunt, which this
year is slow getting organized.
BOWIE MASTER OF HUNT
Master of the Marlborough
Hunt is Mr.. Benjamin Bowie,
of Marlboro, who, with Mr.. Ed
win S. Holloway and Mr.. Will
liam H. Brooke, was a moving
The Washington times., 1938-10-15

spirit in organizing the Marl-
borough group. The whole
thing started when Mr.. Brooke'S
brother, a member of the Ron
bout Riding and Hunt Club at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, sent him
down a few hounds. Hounds
meant hunting, so a-hunting they
went.
The Marlborough unds
have now been augmented by
half dozen cross-breds owned by
Mr.. Hatcher. The country over
which the Marlborough group
hunts is fairly rolling and al
though there is too much barbed
wire fencing to make the lay
out a natural, the hunt has
erected 312-foot chicken-coop
jumps in a large part of their
territory.
In addition to the master and
huntsman, other members eX-
pected to put in an appearance
for the first hunt of the season
tomorrow are Mr.. w. H. Brook,
Mr.. r. H. Hall and Mr.. Edward
Smith, all three of whom act as
whips; Mrs. Edward Smith, Mr..
and Mrs. j. B. Bland, Mr.. Ro-
land Hartman, Mr.. Adolphus G.
Pohlman of Landover, Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard w. Hereford of
Upper Marlboro, and Mr.. Hal
Clagett.
Mr.. Talbot T. Speer is ex-
pected from Baltimore; Lieut..
Comdr. william j. Lee from Be
thesda, and DR.. William B. Mar
bury and Mr. Laidlaw Mackall
from Washington.
WEEKLY HUNTS PLANNED
Hunts are planned weekly
throughout the season, with
hunt breakfast scheduled once
a month. Some time in Novem-
ber the officers of the club hope
to hold hunt dance at their
new clubhouse on Ritchie Road.
Officers of the club for 1888
are Edwin s Holloway, presi-
dent: John Bowling, vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Frederick c. Mel
chior secretary; and William H.

TECH LEADS ON
INTERH|CH Grid
WITH z VICTORIES
BY PAUL BEACH

ANNAA "dSo OAAC Ok4C SANNOO04 OA
District high school eleven yester-
day in a program that saw East
ern's interhigh champions lose to
the Trainers, 60, at Central Sta
dium before $500 fans. Roose-
velt's Rough Riders fell before an
invading St. Adams aggregation,
10, while Western was the VIC
tim of the strong Washington &
Lee Little Generals to the tune of
13 to 7.
In the lone interhigh battle, Nc
Kinley showed definitely that it
had greater power than the out
weighed Lincoln Parkers. It also
demonstrated disappointing lack
of punch as the goal line was
neared.
BERRY'S KICKING
Two tactical errors were evi-
dent in the assigning of tasks
among the Fasteners. In the
first place, nobody but Paul Co.
hill should have taken charge of
the punting. The one touchdown
was set up on a kick by Hooe
which travelled from the Eastern
8-yard line out to the 18. Finally,
sturdy Hallama was much better
equipped to fill the safety posi-
ton than courageous but slight
Buddy Yocum.
Harold Berry, whose kicking
kept the losers rocked back on
their heels at all times, and Bill
Miller, who played brilliantly in
his pivot position, were the days
aces for Tech. In addition, Paul
Dean, Jack Gilmore and Freddie
Bach showed up very well, the
first two being the pass duo re-
sponSible for the score.
TECH IN LEAD
On the Lincoln Parkers side,
left guard Jack Pieri was really
outstanding. He was ably assisted
by Bob Kirk, in the other guard
position. Ray 500 and Paul Cohill
were the two backs that consis-
tently offered any threat.
Tech now stands at the head
Of the interhigh list with two
victories and no defeats.
Two fist fights, four expelled
players and a miniature riot were
the highlights in a rough-and-
tumble grid fray yesterday in
which Westerns Red Raiders
scored first and then saw a potent
Washington and Lee High team
come Eight back to score in the
same period. The Little Generals
then came through in the last
period to change defeat into
victory.
Wrenn and Hilleary were the
eliminated Raiders, while Kelly
and Leatherwood were the Gen
erals who were stripped of all
ranking.
Gonzaga High thrilled 1900 ex-
cited spectators yesterday in Con-
zaga Stadium as they ripped off
20 first downs while trouncing
Loyola High of Baltimore, 100.
The Purple touchdown came as
a result of a 1O-yard pass from
Bill Gardiner to Joe Street who
raced 80 yards to score. The
other four points came from two
safetieS, Ray Reed blocking a kick
which rolled over the goal line,
and Lane ODonnell tackling the
Loyola quarter on pay dirt.
Marty Kuntz and Frank Boyer
paced the Little Hoya grid attack
yesterday as the local club invaded
Charlotte Hall to win a 1910 de-
cision.
Scoring once in the initial period,
riod, twice in the second and
again in the last, Dewitt Prep
trounced the Western Maryland
Frosh at Westminster, Md. yester-
day, $50.
Vermillion's 75-yard sweep
