KrTIs BULL WITH STONE

Last week Mr.. j. Silver Mitchell,
of near Perryman, lost a bull in a
most unusual accident. He had call
ed upon Harry Wakeland, Of Church
Vile, to move the bull by truck to
Baltimore, where it was to be de-
livered to a purchaser. Mr.. Mitchell
sent two men to drive the bull from
a field, while Mr.. Wakeland turned
his truck around.
In a moment one of the men re-
turned, stating that he had killed
the bull with small stone It APP
peared that the bull had chased the
men, and one of them, becoming
frightened, had picked up small
stone and hurled it at the bull. His
craftsmanship was perfect and the
bull was struck between the eyes.
At first it was thought that the bull
was only stunned, but, an investi-
cation showed that the stone had
killed the bull instantly.

THE YEAR 1889
An Astrological Forecast

The most critical period in Worlo

passage from the first degree Of
Aries March 21st) to the Eclipse
of April 10th, possibly few days
later. This eclipse-falls on the Natal
Sun position of Adolf Hitler and
presages a cutting off of his power
and resources. Hitler faces the grav-
est crisis of his career during the
last two weeks of April, 1899.
Fear still holds sway over the
most of Europe. Security is the key
note which impels the leaders of
nations to accept arrangements-the
lesser of two evils presented. Africa
feels increasingly the Saturnian in
fluence. The stronger power will
force its will upon the weaker-or
take the consequences.

The North Eastern states will be

of 1899. Strikes will occur in the
industrial centers during the months
of May and June.
President Roosevelt will adopt ag-
gressive tactics as a measure of de-

policy will continue to be one of
resistance to encroachment by the
totalitarian powers.
Relations with Japan will not

relations between the United States
and Japan will mark the last ten
days of April, and all of June, 1889.
Japan faces the most critical year
of this century, so far. The period
between April 18th and May 18th,

ADDRESS ON SUCCESSFUL
LIVING

On Thursday, December 1, Mr.. j.
Paul Slaybaugh, Haadmaster, pre-
sented to the faculty and students
of West Nottingham Academy the
Rev. Mr.. Allen Frew, of the First
Presbyterian Church, Ardmore, Pa,
as guest speaker at the morning
assembly.
Rev. Mr.. Frew delivered most
impressive address which he entitled,
"A Formula for Successful Living.
He introduced his theme with the
rhetorical question, "How may the
kingdom of Heaven be defined?"
This question he answered by quot
ing the forty-fifth and forty-sixth
stanzas of Matthew: again, the
kingdom of Heaven is like unto a
merchant-man, seeking goodly
pearls: Who when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold
all that he had and bought it. This
parable refers to pearl collector in
Jerusalem who when he saw a pearl
of unusual lustre and size surpass-
ing all, satiated his desire for it's
ownership by giving his entire col
lection for the great pearl. The king
dom of God may be compared to
this one great pearl.
The formula for successful living
may be likened to four pearls, upon
which life must be founded. The
first is personal character builded on
that of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
character foundation of life is just
as essential as the granite of Man
haitian whose STRUCTURE has made
possible the great engineering feats
which it exhibits. The second pearl,
that of education is almost priceless
to-day. Rev. w. Frew pointed out
that this generation needs more en-
lightment- and consequent more
intelligent evaluation of world
problems than any previous genera
tion The third pearl. discipline,
comprises control and organization
of the body with regard to self-de-
termination, morals, and ethics.
No man has ever succeeded without
this attribute. The fourth and last
pearl is employment, or the address
of self to task. employment with
a passion for the things of Christ. I"
The speaker illustrated this point
by the use of the experience of DR..
Darby Fulton Of the Board of Mis-
sions of the Presbyterian Church.
South, who met Japanese in the
Toxic Quake, bereft of family and

STATE SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED
CHILDREN

A report recently issued by the
State Department of Health, on the
Services for Crippled Children in
the Counties of Maryland shows that
1887 children and young people liv-
ing in the counties, all of them suf-
fering from some gripping disRbil-
ity, are under supervision at present.
Children in Baltimore City, who are
similarly handicapped, are under the
supervision of the Maryland League
for Crippled Children--the pioneer
organization by which Statewide
clinics and follow-up care were
started over ten years ago-which
continues it's cooperative connection
with the Services for Crippled
Children.
The expansion of the services for
crippled children in the counties OF
Maryland was made possible by State
appropriations matched by funds
from the Social Security Act under
the Children's Bureau, U. s. Depart
ment of Labor. The services were
administered at first by the Board
of State Aid and Charities and were
transferred to the State Depart
ment of Health by an Act of Legis-
lature in 1887. Under the terms of
the law, the activities are limited to
those under twenty-one years of age
and do not include services to the
deaf and the blind.
The present program Is a continu-
alton and extension of the plans orr
ginally developed by the League for
Crippled Children. A special effort
is made to locate children suffer
ing from any crippled disability in
need of surgical, hospital, or follow
up care. Clinics at which the chill
dren are examined by physicians
with special training in this particu-
lar field, are arranged through the
County Health Departments. Provi-
sion is made for hospital care, If
necessary, or for other care or treat
ment. Braces, shoes and other ap-
pliances, are obtained for those to
pay for them.
The number of clinics has gradu-
ally been increased. Sixty have been
held within the last year. The staff
has been enlarged to include three
nurses and seven other workers with
special training in the care and
treatment of those with bone OF
Joint diseases or who are crippled
from other causes.
OF the 1887 children and young
people under supervision and treat
ment at present, $50 are boys and
ISL, girls. Fourteen are under "a
year old, 302 from l to A years old ;
447 from 5 to 8; 500 from 10 to
IA; 315 from Is to 10; and 80 are
20 years old. About one fifth of the
total are crippled through infantile
paralysis. In other cases the disabil-
ity is due to injury at birth; to
ricketts,; to tuberculosis, to some
other disease, or to accident.
Transportation to the clinics is
one of the most difficult problems OF
the Service. 1t is made possible
largely through the volunteer aid
of the American Legion, civic and
other service clubs, and interested in
dividuals. But no child recommend
ed for clinic care has gone without
the necessary attention. If the par
ents have found it impossible to get
the child to the clinic, one of the
clinic surgeons has visited the child
in his own home.

Another Equally Bold

ITO repeal the Neutrality Act
L as some are inclined to want
to do is to put us back in the
very dangerous, II not hopeless,
quarter we occupied in 1914 and
the two years following when
we thought we were staying out
of war but were actually moving
into it step by step.
To charge that the existence
of the Neutrality Act has made
foreign dictat IS bold and dan
eerous in their relations with
the world is to forget that an
otr. { grew equally bold and dan
gerous twenty years ago when
we had no Neutrality Act.
To undertake to change the
law to the extent that would
permit the President to deter"
mine who is the aggressor In o
war and then move with em'
bargoes against that alleged ag'
gressor, Is to grant into the
hands of the President the
power to go to war without de-
claring it. At least those who
urge such q change in the act
would honor average intelligence
If they would cease calling such
a policy one Of neutrality.
The Washington times., 1938-12-28
If We're Smart

THE UNITED STATES will be
i smart If it will retain and
strengthen any effort to slow. up
American progress into other
peoples wars. Such an effort Is
embodied In the Neutrality Act.
If it is not always an effective
or seemingly good force in the
event of emergency it can. with
the consent Of Congress, be
changed.
If ever again there is to be
conclusion reached that there
are good purposes to be served
by our entering other peoples
wars, the determination Of
chance to win the purposes
should be left with Congress,
until such time as the people
may themselves enjoy the power
to directly voice themselves on
so important a question.
To curb our appetite for profit
from war, to curb hotheads who
might be at the helm in hours
of emergency, must invite our
effort if we are going to enlarge
upon our chance to win what
we fight for as well as the war
in the event Of our participation
In other peoples battles.

PACK TO LEAVE
Draw Pay, But Never

With Congress opening less
than a week off, three duly elected
Senators are preparing to go home
without taking a seat in the Sen
ate and without casting a single
vote.
They are all lame ducks" one
of them a woman, who were named
to fill unexpired terms, ending
just when the new Congress be-
gins next Tuesday.
Miss Gladys c. Pyle, the Senator
from North Dakota, who was
elected November 8 to succeed
Herbert E. Hitchcock, regrets
that she will have to go home,
but she feels she has done a good
job in the month or so she has
held office.
Senator r. M. Storke, appointed
November 9 to fill the unexpired
term of william Gibbs McAdoo, of
California, thought his stay in
washington would be a senate
rial honeymoon" but 1t turned out
that even a lame duck has much
work to do.

FLAYED
BY FREEMAN

Certain groups Of aliens from
dictator countries were criticized
last night by Bishop James E.
Freeman for ingratitude to the
country of their adoption.
In radio address, the bishop
said there are some aliens who
have escaped the tyrannies and
privations Of the land of their
birth, and yet show ingratitude
and contempt for the land Of their
adoption.
They lack the spirit of good
will" he said. "They respect not
the flag that shelters them, and
they deny to the institutions that
guarantee to them a freedom they
have never before known, their
loyal adherence and support"
