Where will these children find

OFFICIALS WORRIED
That question has playground
officials worried. The children
themselves have heard inklings
that their playground might van

a steam shovel gobbling up great
hunks of ground which seems to
belong to them-by virtue of the
long hours they've spent there,
playing games and listening to
stories.
Construction on the building is
obligated to start before January

there's a likelihood of the steam
shovel moving in within three or
four weeks.
So far no solution has been
found for that moment, to care
for the children who flock there
after school hours and on Satur-
days to play.

LEGAL FIGHT ON

1.N.S.) A new attack on the
1887 Guffey soft-coal act was re,
corded in District Court here to-
day as the city of Atlanta, Ga.
which uses more than 10000 tons
of coal annually, asked that the
legislation be declared unconStitu-

THROWN OUT
Early last spring a schedule of
minimum coal prices drawn up by
the BituminouS Commission were
thrown out by the District Court.
The commission since has been
busy holding hearings with a view
to formulating new price slate.
j. C. Murphy. counsel for At
lanta. told the court the city had
learned on good authority that
the new minimum price for coal in
the Atlanta district would be $2.05
per ton at the mine. more than
twice the amount the city now
pays.

SOME CROPS MAY
POISON LIVE STOCK
Certain Kinds May Con-
tain Sufficient Acid
to Cause death

Sufficient amounts Of prussic
acid to cause poisoning and death
in cattle and other animals may be
present in some common forage
crops grown in Maryland, accor-
ing to DR.. L. j. Poelma of the Live
stock Sanitary Service, and ]. A.
Conover, specialist in dairying for
the Extension Service.
Among the crops most likly to-
produce such results, they list
sorghum, Sudan grass, and John
son grass. Choke cherry and wild
black cherry are two other plants
which, they say, have caused
deaths among cattle and sheep in
this State.
They state that the leaves are
much higher in prussic acid than
the stems, and that dry weather
more than doubles the percentage
of the poison in Sudan grass,
sorghum and other grasses.
Making these crops into hay re-
duces the danger of poisoning, ac-
cording to these specialists, as
only traces Of the acid are found.
Putting the crop in the silo does
not lessen their content of acid,
but as these crops are usually in
a mature state before ensiling
there is probably little danger in
feeding the silage, it is stated.
DR.. Poelma and NIra Conover
advise caution in pasturing Sudan
grass. In some cases, they state
cattle have pastured on that crop
with no i'll effects, even though it
showed high content of prussic
acid, while at other times death
has followed quickly.
Precautions they recommend
are: do not turn on pasture when
the crop is young, but wait until
it reaches a height of II or more
inches. Feed animals some rough
age before turning onto pasture.
Corn meal has been shown to he
of some value if fed before turn
ing cattle on grass. If dry wealth
er has stunted the crop, turn out
one or two head only, and watch
carefully. Watch the herd for an
hour after turning out and remove
them if any are seen to stop eat
ing. Do not turn onto pasture
while frost is on.

MORE BIRTHS THAN
DEATHS REPORTED
Record for April, May
and June, by Bureau
Vital Statistic

In a report prepared by the
Bureau of Vital Statistics of the
State Department of Health it is
shoyn there was over 1856 more
births than deaths reported in the
State during April, May and June
Of this year. There were $500
births reported and 5,055 deaths,
in comparison with SILT births
and 5,312 deaths during the second
quarter of 1897.
The distribution for the second
quarter of 1888 was as follows:
Births: Baltimore City, 300; the
Counties $3.50. Deaths: 2,644 in
Baltimore City and 2,411 in the
Counties. Considered in relation
to puoplation, there were II
deaths which were offset by Is
births in each thousand Of the
total population.
More than half of the deaths :
3,008 or go per cent of the total
number recorded, were due to
what are known as the degenera-
tive diseases of middle life and
old age. Heart disease led the
group with 1918 deaths; cancer
came next with 581 deaths; nep-
hritis was third with $40 deaths.
There were 424 deaths from cere-
bral hemorrhage and apolexy and
lis from diabetes.
The pneumonias and tuber-
culosis were responsible for 638
deaths pneumonia for 295 and
tuberculosis for 343- or 13 per cent
of the total.
One death in every twenty s.
per cent of the totaI-was due to-
accidents of some sort. Motor
vehicle accidents were responsible
for 76 deaths. Deaths from the
causes mentioned above the de-
generative diseases, the pneu-
monias, tuberculosis, and accidents
: constituted over three-fourths of
the deaths from all causes and at
all ages in the State.
The record for the second
quarter of the year prepared by

Out Of the dark Businesses Of an

when we turn from the moral and
spiritual failures Of Samson to con-
slider the lovely story Of Ruth. She
lived in the midst of the travails
and the sorrows of life, in fact we
find her at the beginning Of the
book which bears her name, a wild
ow who has lost all that the world
would hold dear. Yet she, because
Of her purity Of life and devotion to
God rises higher and higher, while
the one of whom we spoke last
week, starting with every advan-
tage, slipped lower and lower be-
cause of his sin.
Ruth was the great-grandmother
Of King David, and thus this Cen
tile woman became one of the an

concerned about living such lives

to read and study the entire book
Of Ruth-only about three pages
long in most Bibles-and give at
tention to the full story of her life,
especially the picture of the kins-
man-redeemer, to be later fulfilled
in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must
confne our comments largely to the
printed portion which reveals Ruth
first as loyal and thoughtful
daughter-in-law, then as one whose
love was not to be denied by sorrow
or circumstance, and finally as
one so bound to her mother-in-law

one with her and her people.
