COMMUNICABLE ILLS
Sickness in State Over
1896 Shows Increase.
Says DR.. Riley


Dr. r. II. Riley director of the
State Department of Health,
show an increase in the total
cases of sickness in the State
from contagious or infectious dis
eases. in 1887 over the number re-
ported in 1886.
There were 56,123 cases of no
tifiable" diseases reported to the
State Department bf Health in
1897 in comparison with 47,261;
in 1896; 39.4S7 in 1885; 63.O89 in
1884, and 39,7S1 in 1888. The to-
tai in 1887 was divided between
Baltimore City and the counties,
as follows; Baltimore City, 3d.
1855; the counties, 20,938.
The increase in 1897 was due
largely to an epidemic of measles
during the first five months of
the year and to a flare up in in
fluenza during January and Feb
ruary. There were over $500
more cases of measles reported
than in 1886, total of 1925
cases in 1887 in comparison with
7,640 in 1886, and nearly $500
more of influenza, total of 9,442
as compared to SAC cases in 1886.
Other increases over the totals
for 1886 were as follows: Whoop-
ing Cough, from 4,337 cases in
1886 to 5,O61 in 1887; the yenereal
diseases, from 1880 to 1889;
and tuberculosis from 2,766 to 81
191. Typhoid. with 327 cases re-
ported had a less favorable rec
ord than in 1886 when 27S cases
occurred; poliomyelitis with 80
cases in comparison with So, in
1886, reflected the nationwide in
crease. Scarlet fever dropped
from 2,727 cases in 1886, to 2,O57
in 1897.

1887 in comparison with Al of I'M
dulant fever, SO of Rocky Noun

% of malaria and 142 of Vincent's |
angina in 1886.
Over nine-tenths of the total |
sickness from the Catching" dis
eases reported in Maryland in
1887 was divided among three
groups of diseases. The so-called |
childrens diseases-measles and !
scarlet fever, whooping cough,
diphtheria (51O cases), mumps
and chickenpox were charged
with more than so per cent of the
total. The venereal diseases, in
Guiding 9,941 cases of syphilis,
were responsible for over "a per
cent. The pneumonias with 1889
cases reported, tuberculosis with
1871 and influenza with 3,442
cases, accounted for Is per cent.
of the total The remainder were
scattered among the rest of the
''notifiable" diseases.
The list of such diseases in
cludes about 40 diseases that are
communicable for Catching in
some way. Physicians in attend
ance are requested to report the
occurrence Of such diseases
among their patients. to the near

in order that the health depart
ment may know what diseases are

this time, too. While it seems to
constitute the main forward
movement of the Administration
toward handling financial stress
situations, preparations within
the RFC are going slowly.
Lending will not develop as
extensively as generally be-
lieved. The first large loans
probably will be for equipment
for railroads, but it is not in
tended that as much as one
third of the total amount will
be so used. Nor is there any in
tention of using the full amount
for all purposes.
Sound collateral will be re-
quired, which means only those
railroads near the borderline of
soundness and on the right side
of the line will get any money.
This will apply also to business
and other loans.
The first thing the RFC will
want to know from business
applicants is what the borrower
intends to do with the money,
next whether he has something
to back it up.

of which have been completed, are
California-sty bungalows, with each
OF different design.
The new houses are a result of a
countrywide search by Mr.. Schneider
for a quality type of dwelling at a
price which persons in the lower
income groups can afford to pay. The
builder inspected low-cost develop

before deciding upon the California
bungalow as the kind to reproduce
here.
The houses are located on Glen
Ross road, three blocks west of Geor-

lots that vary in width from so to 80
feet. They have full cellars and attics,
with garages built in beneath. Each
house contains large living room, din

 "Canonization Elevation to saint hooO is still further process lead- ing to declaration by the Sovereign Pontiff that the faithful should venerate as a saint, one who has already been beatif1ed ..
 "Beatification permits veneration of the blessed in certain places and communities. Canonization com- mands it everywhere"
 The National Catholic Welfare Conference described the two mir acleS.
 "One of these was the case of a young boy, Peter Smith of New York City, who was blinded shortly after his birth in 1921 when through error 50 per cent solution of nit rate of silver was dropped in his eyes instead of a one per cent as prescribed.
 Prayers asking the intercession of Mother Cabrini were immediate ly offered and a complete cure was effected on the day after the acci- dent according to competent medical authority the boys eyes had been completely destroyed. Today Peter Smith is lad of IT years with perfect eyesight."
 The second case, the statement said, was that of nun in Seattle.
 "In 1921 she had undergone four major operations, each leaving her in more precarious condition Physicians were agreed that cure was impossible and that she was doomed to die painful death.
 "A fifth operation was suggested as means of prolonging her life, but instead of submitting to this the nun in question had recourse to the intercession of Mother Cabrini. Im- mediate improvement was noted and x-ray examinations proved that the conditions had been cured. This nun has been able to carry on active work ever since" In addition to the ceremonies in Rome, Archbishop Cicognani will oflciate at mass at Mother Cabrini's tomb in the chapel of the Cabrini Memorial High school, New York. Because Mother >Cabrini's work was in schools, hospitals and or phanages established for the benefit of immigrants, she is known as the Apostle of the Immigrants.
