Next Thursday evening, February
oath, Parent Teachers Association
meeting will be held at eight o'clock.
The speaker will be DR.. Kane, our
county health officer who will dis
cuss an important phrase of public
health. 1t used to be that certain dis
eases were regarded as especially
shameful, but much of that shame
was uncalled for, and they are now
regarded in the clear light of scien-
tific research. Far reaching methods
of cure are being undertaken, just as
similar fights were made to over
come diphtheria and other dread
diseases, and this calls for the CO.
operation of everyone. 1t is on this
all-important subject that DR.. Kane
will talk.
AS usual, the public is invited, but
especially parent and older people
especial parents and older people
who will appreciate the seriousness
of the topic.-Dorothy Rands.

Automobile Death Toll

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Rudy announces the first month of
this year of 1888 has started with
thirty-one less deaths than the cor
responding period of 1887. Janu-
airy OF 1887 had slxty-seven deaths,
as compared with thirty-slx deaths Of
this year, decrease OF thlrty-one
or forty-six percent. Figuratively
speaking, this is encouraging. and l
hope the year of 1888 will continue
to show a decided decrease. At least,
a good start has been made.
According to our summaE twen-
ty-feur or size sBevaa spaaaa -
persons killed for the month of jan
uary were pedestrians. Five or four
teen percent were passengers, and
seven Or nineteen percent were the
operators themselves. A majority OF
the accidents occurred at intersec-
lions, with the next largest number
on straight concrete roads during
clear weather. Most Of the accidents
involving deaths occurred during the
hours of darkness q PM. to PM
and on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sun
days. Thirty-six passengers cars. out
of a total of forty-two vehicles in
volved, lead the list, with the re-
naming six vehicles as trucks. Seven
operators had been drinking, and
thirty-fve operators normal. while
most of the operators were white,
between the ages of 80 to- 80, with
five years or more experience, and a
resident of Baltimore City. The
causes of these accidents continues
to be charged to operating too fast
for conditions, and a majority of the
pedestrians killed were crossing at
intersections, with no singal. There
were no Hit and Run cases during
January, which is favorable.
Baltimore City is charged with
fifteen deaths involving fifteen ac-
cidents, whereas, twenty acc dents
occurred in the Counties, involving
twenty-one deaths, with Baltimore
and Washington Counties respective
ly leading the list.

from district engineers that the
roads were beginning to "fail'' be-
cause of the repeated freezing and
