EXPLANATORY

Referring to an editorial appearing
in The Republican last Thursday con-
corning the Grantsville school build
ing, this paper was not unmindful Of
the fact that the Grantsville people
themselves had a testimonial dinner
in honor of the County Commissioners
and the Board of Education, to which
the editor was invited, Immediately
upon the completion of the school
building, which showed a mark of
appreciation on the part of Grants
vile citizens.
The thought last Thursday was
voiced because of political speeches at
a recent gathering where those higher
up appeared to be taking all the credit
for the completed structure.

LOOK OUT FOR TICKS, is
ADVICE OF HEALTH DEPT.
Nacationists, Campers, Fisher
men Urged To Use Precautions

Furteen cases of spotted fever.
tick-bite fever-have been reported to
the State Department of Health from
widely separated parts of the State
since the first of May. There have
oeen 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 Of
shores, and all others whose business
or pleasure takes them into tick-in-
tested areas, 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. Pre-
cautions advised by DR.. Riley follow:
'For some reason-weather condi-
tions possibly-ticks are unusually
numerous this year. Spotted fever,
which we generally speak of as tick
bite fever, is spread by the bite of in
fected ticks, or from absorbing dis
ease-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 disease
does not spread from person to per-
son.
81. Be careful in going through
tick-infested areas. Wear suitable
clothing.
"2. Cut out underground and all
weeds; cut grass very short around
dwellings,; along paths leading 70
bathing pools and shores. Remove OF
burn debris. Spray the trails around
the settlement with creosote oil.
SO. Look out for ticks on your body
and on your clothing Make careful
inspection at least twice a day, if you
are on a hiking or camping trip or
are employed in a infested area
Children are likely to be bitten back
Of the ears, on the head or neck. Don't
overlook these OF any other hiding
places in your inspections. Examina-
ton of the whole body is necessary.
g. Remove ticks at once. Be very
careful in withdrawing any found on
the person, and in taking ticks off of
dogs, horses, cattle or other animals,
not to crush the insects between the
fingers. The disease-producing mater
ial may be absorbed into the system
through the slightest scratch or break
in the skin. If the insect is embedded
in the skin, use forceps or wear gloves
in withdrawing it. Disinfect the spot
from which the insect has been with
drawn by swabbing with iodine. Wash
the hands thoroughly with soap and
water after withdrawing the ticks"
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 its early stages tick-bitc
fever may be confused with influenza,
measles and typhoid fever. 1t is adj
visable, therefore, to call doctor
promptly, if suspicious symptoms de-
velop after having been exposed to
ticks. Laboratory tests of the blood
are valuable in confirming the dag
nosis.
The majority of the cases of tick
bite fever that have been reported in
Maryland, have occurred between May
and September.

Those Whose Convictions
Were Sustained,

Eight men whose gambling convic-
tions were sustained by the Court
of Appeals were committed by
District Court Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kins today to serve sentences rang
ing from six months to three wears.

Robert A. Murray. Anthony Costello,

cent A. Marino, to 18 months, and
Bernard Newyahr, John A. Clements

Moe Morganstein and Nicholas
"Nick the Greek" Floratos, whose ap-
peals also were denied, yesterday were
granted a stay Of the mandate from
the appellate court to permit appli-
cation for writ of certiorari in the
United States Supreme Court.
OF 124 men indicted on gaming
charges growing out Of series of
raids last spring, these 10 were the
only ones convicted who appealed
their cases.
The application for a hearing in

for District violation The Court
OF Appeals held such a procedure was

LID IS T|GHTENED
0NARMY SECRETS
Arrests of Spy Suspects in
New York Bring New
Regulations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
War Department officials disclosed
today that the recent arrest Of spy
ring suspects in New York has been
followed by a tightening Of the lid
on Army secrets.
An official circular added safe
guarding of military information" to
Q standing list of nine basic functions
Of the Armys Military Intelligence
Division.
This division, officially designated as
co." has charge of preparing and
keeping codes, ciphers and maps and
collecting information through at
taches abroad.
Changes in Regulations.
In line with the new caution,
changes have been made in regula-
tions requiring candidates for Reserve
commissions in the military intelli-
gence to pass examinations in safe
guarding secret information.
The Navy previously had put into
effect extraordinary precautions to
prevent leaks.
Publication Of detailed information
on the progress of warship construc-
ton was limited early this year. New
legislation has given both services
authority to regulate or prohibit
picture taking in the vicinity of mill
tary posts or warships.
Navy photographers recently took
man at the Newport <R. ~ torpedo
station. Though officials asserted the
procedure was nothing unusual, mill
tary circles believed it was without a
peace-time precedent.
May Bring New Corps.
Looking to the future, well-informed
persons said President Roosevelt's re-
cent observation that both the Army
and Navy should have more funds to
combat spies may bring about mill
tary intelligence career corps" to
work more closely with the Justice De-
partment.
At present, the G-men undertake
any tracking OF spy suspects which the
Army and Navy direct. Some Navy
officers have attended the Justice De-
partment's training school, but only
to study fingerprint methods.
Whereas most foreign powers have
highly developed counter-espionage
agencies, the Army and Navy depend
on officers who have had to vary this
specialized work with duty with troops
and aboard ships.
