Immediately protested the remarks in a loud voice
and went to the State Department about it. declaring
1t an unheard of insult against a friendly nation
OF course Secretary Hull had only to point out
that Mr., Dodds is again private citizen and what
he says has nothing to do with the government In
other words, still have free speech in this country

WEST NOTTINGHAM HUMBLES
WAYNESRORO HIGH 13-O

Before a crowd of 1000 rabid fans
in the high schiol stadium at Way
nesboro, Penna., Friday mite, OctO-
Der 81, the West Nottingham Acad-
envy football team continued it's VIC
torious march by humbling The
Golden Tornado of Waynesbcro
High School 1870. Previous to Fri
day mite the Waynesboro eleven had
lost only one of it's last 16 games
and that by only one point.
To Pat Johnson of Haddonfield
New Jersey, Jim Spillane of Col.
lingswood, New Jersey, and AL New
comb of Lansdowne, Penna., must
go the credit for running, passing,
and kicking their team to victory
Johnston personally scored all OF
the 10 points. However, these three
backs were ably support by the block
ing of Joe Aquilani of Norristown,
Penna., and dozen gallant linemen
The truth is that the game never
looked like a one-star affair. The
team as a whole functioned beauti-
fully both on offense and defense,
else it would never have defeated
SO classy an opponent by decisive
score.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

An historical aspect Is given this
years Christmas Seal Sale by the
insertion of portraits of four leaders
In the fight against tuberculosis on
each sheet of hundred Seals.
Each corner Seal on the sheet con-
tains the picture of man who has
made an outstanding. contribution to
the long fight against tuberculosis,
according to William b. Matthews,
Managing Director OF the Maryland
Tuberculosis Association.
Every great war has its heroes,
Mr.. Matthews said, land the fight
against this widespread and danger
Gus disease Is no exception"
The four heroes pictures on each
1898 sheet OF Christmas Seals are
as follows:
DR.. Rene Laennec, French physic-
ian, who In 1919 invented the steth-
oscope, an instrument which has
been great help to doctors In d.
agonosing tuberculosis. 1t has en-
abled them to- hear sounds In the
chest and In this way to detect alb
normal conditions.
DR.. Robert Koch, German physic-
ian, who in 1882 discovered the
germ the causes tuberculosis, and,
through this Identification of the
enemy, brought the first hope that
1t might be conquered.
DR.. Edward l.. Trudeau, American
doctor, who In 1885 established
modern sanatorium treatment of
tuberculosis in the United States, at
Saranac Lake.
Einar Holboell, a Danish postal
clerk, who In 1904 introduced the
idea of selling Christmas Seals to
raise funds for combating tuber-
culQsis. His idea was adopted by
this country In 1907.
The remaining Seals In the sheet
of hundred show a mother light
ing Christmas candle in the win
dow of her home. Beside her are
her two children. All are dressed in
the old-fashioned costumes of the
Victorian period. The. whole Seal
strongly suggests the motto of this
years sple-"Protect Your Home
From tuberculosis
The Christmas Seal sale will start
on Thanksgiving Day when the Seals
will be mailed to many citizens of
the state. Those who do not receive
the Seals in the mails will be able
to obtain them from their local
chairman.
Christmas Seals make possible the
relentless war against tuberculosis
that is being fought in this state by
the Maryland Association and its at
filiated county associations and COM
mittees.

REORGANIZING THE
GOVERNMENT

There seems to be widespread mis-
understanding regarding proposals
to reorganize the Government. The
whole matter is obscured by politics.
The President is right when he says
that the Government should be re-
organized. Congress is just as right
when it says that the Government
should be reorganized. But when the
President says, in effect, that 1t
isn't amy business of Congress how
the reorganization is done, the Con-
gress says the President hasn't any
business to say such things. Then,
the fireworks!
Reorganization might consider rs
to SO per cent of the persons, alleged
to be working for the Government,
and make them prove it. For the
sake of efficiency many Of them
might be transferred to the relief
rolls.
A joint committee of the Admins
tration and Congress, of exactly the
same type that is handling other
public business, could easily and
speedily prepare commonsense plans
for reorganization that would be In
the interests of the taxpayers. Such
a reorganization could be put
through in a hurry.
But politicians just don't do
things that way. Business men do.
That's the reason we need more bus
mess men and fewer politicians in
Washington.

deaths from typhoid occurred in
the state in 1928 There were more
than $500 cases and over 100 deaths
from diphtheria the same year.
These totals are for the entire
year-not for the nine months period
as are the figures for 1938-but the
difference between them is suffici-
emily great to give some idea of
what has been accomplished, not
only toward the control of these
diseases, but toward the protection
of the health of the people of this
state, in many other ways. Some of
this bas been brought about by adj
vances in public health procedure;
very much of it has been due to the
intelligent and ready cooperation of
the people of this State with the
health authorities"
