ing their lifetime because they
were the victims of advertising
quackery.
Stomach ailments are legion but
a few are really important and
should be carefully nursed until
well. The two disorders of the
stomach that must be properly
treated after early diagnosis are
ulcers and cancer. The former is
the cause of much misery and is
often neglected, either due to ig-
norance or to the prejudice of the
bearer.
Any continuous case of indiges-
ton should be carefully investi-
gated, not by druggist or faddist
who sells a new stomach" for one
dollar, but by the approved meth
DDS of modern medical practice.
Most people are satisfied to say
that they have indigestion and let
it go at that. They have been told
many times that dyspepsia or in
digestion is no disease but only a
symptom of some alimentary dis
order. There are many possible
fundamental reasons. However,
one may be the presence of an
ulcer.
Sippy proved that ulcers of the
stomach and the duodenum (that
portion of intestinal tract which is
continuous with the stomach)
could be cured without operation
if treated by a definite method at
an early stage of the process. De-
lay is the one factor that initiates
against such a cure and usually
cause of a need for an operation.

Here And
There
BY w. M. Smith

WeStbrOOk Pegler, New York
cOlumnist whose articles are pub
lished daily in the Minneapolis
Journal, devOtes his column of
Thursday, past, to a discussion of
the anti-lynch bill now before the
Congress- He opposes the legisla-
ton, and on a rather unique basis.
He questions the sincerity of
those who would stall impending
legislation ITO jam through a law
intended at the most optimistic fig
ure to save IA lives a year."
Pegler begins with the statement
that the automobile killed $4,000
people last year. Just what law
can do about that is not clear. He
adds that normally the homicide
list is around 10000 year. All of
US know the tremendous inclusion
of brains and capital the law in
vokes to reduce this total. Inferen-
TALLY he points out that in COM
parison IA lives saved a year is
picayunish and not worth bother
ing about.
Pegler, of course, is white and
equally, of course, is in no danger
of being lynched or embarrassed
by lynehing's implications. So he
can view with considerable tOler-
ance this southern sport which,
after all, he cites, has been in
dulged in only eight times in 1887.
Strangely enough on the very
next day the perfect answer to Mr..
Pegler is made by no less an au-
thority than Cordell Hull, secre-
tary of state, in the Presidents
cabinet.
The secretary probably never
heard of Mr.. Pegler. 1t is unlike
ly that he read the copyrighted
article of that writer. 1t is quite
certain that he was thinking,
neither of Pegler nor of the anti
lynching bill, when he sent to the
Senate an answer to questions put
to him by that august body, SEEM
ingly as Mr.. Pegler himself mott
waited by the same thought of
numbers and cost in the matter of
the safety of American nationals.
The Senate, in a resolution, de-
manded of the state department to
tell it how many of our nationals
are in China; how much American
money is invested there, and, how
much it is costing us to protect
them.
Disengaged from its courteous
and diplomatic language Mr.. HulPs
reply is to the effect that it makes
no difference whether we have g.
900 or so Americans in China; it
does not matter if our stake in
China justifies the expenditure we
are making to protect it or not, the
fundamental policy of the United
States is to safeguard our citizens
abroad.
Failing that for any reason, we
lay ourselves open to wOrld-disre-
spect and our people to untold hu-
initiation.
If" says the secretary, IAN
obligation to American interests
does not exist in the Far East, it
does not exist anywhere"
This implies conversely, that if
an obligation to protect American
life and property in America does
not exist, it does not exist any
where, Mr.. PegIer, and the Demo-
cratic South to the contrary not
withstanding.
In his reply to the Senate Mr..
Hull asserts that the administra-

CAMPAIGN FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
EDUCATION ON

The annual anti-tuberculosis educa-
tional campaign of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association is now under
way, it was reported by the assication,
in an attempt to bring about reduc-
tion in the tuberculosis incidence and
mortality rates in the state by stress
ing early diagnosis of the disease.
Tuberculosis is an insidious disease
and can be doing much harm to the
body long before any signs appear to
show its presence" Doctor Samuel
Wolman, president of the association
said. eff the disease is discovered
early it can almost always be cured
before serious damage has been done.
If persons wait until signs appear,
denoting illness, the disease has usual
ly advanced beyond the early stage
and the cure becomes more difficult
and costly.
Modern medicine has provided us
with the means of discovering the
disease before irreparable injury has
been done. These methods are the
tuberculin test and X-ray and people
must be taught to want them, especial
ly if they have any reason to suspect
tuberculosis or have ever lived in con-
tact with it," Doctor Wolman contin-
ued.
"Chest clinics too, are available in
every county to which people may go
upon the recommendation of their ply
sicians or health departments. These
clinics are conducted by tuberculosis
specialists"
1t is hoped by the association that
tuberculosis minded" populace can
be developed in the state to help in
the fight against this disease. The
aim of the association, by means of it's
educational campaign, is to make
everyone realize that early Discov-
cry, Early Recovery" is not only a
slogan but also fact.
Special attention will be given to
the Negro race during the campaign
as the colored death rate from the di-
sease is nearly four times as high as
the rates among whites.
A new supply of educational litera-
ture has been received by the associa-
ton for distribution during the cam
paign. This consists of four pamph-
lets entitled: Contact" whats the
Cause?", "Who Next" and "Your

Real Friend" How You Get I. B., >
a pamphlet written especially for col
ored people, will also be used.
Although the campaign will contin-
ue throughout the year, it will include
the Early Diagnosis Campaign of the
National tuberculosis Association and
it's affiliated members which take
place during April.
THE fight against tuberculosis in
Maryland" Doctor Wolman added,
"has been very successful. Since the
organized movement was commenced
more than thirty years ago the death
rate has been reduced almost two
thirds and many lives that would have
been sacrificed have been spared.
However, we must not let this fact
give US too much confidence as the
fight is still far from completed. The
disease is still the greatest cause of
death between the ages of Is and 45
and still inflicts much hardships on
the thousands who have it but become
cured.
"It can be wiped out" Doctor VOL
man said, eff everyone in the state
will cooperate to do it."
Returns are still being made for
the Christmas seals that were sold
during the past Christmas season.
Funds contributed through the pur-
chase of these seals make possible the
educational campaign and the other
activities of the association. The of
ficials of the association and the local
chairmen hope that everyone who has
not yet sent in their money for the
seals will soon do so

GIRLS BASKETBALL
Every team cannot win every time
as was discovered by the local girls
Friday, March 25, when they were de-
feated by the Cambridge squad 1914
The opposing team began the scor-
ing and managed to chalk up six
points during the first minute OF
play. The home girls just couldn't
sink the ball through the basket. AT
the end of the first half the score was
21-8 in favor of Cambridge.
Coulbourne played guard half time
and did a swell job of guarding Now
bray, Cambridge's shifty forward, but
it seemed that no one was able to
stop her from dropping in shots, for
she tailed SO of the 38 points.
This defeat left the Pocomoke girls
with the title of "Tri-C County Champs"
and the school is very proud of their
getting this position.
STUDENT CONFERENCE
On April 1 and 2 the Third Annual
Student Conference will be held at
State Teachers College, Salisbury for
high school seniors.
The theme of the Conference is
"The College as a Preparation for
Life Work"
Representatives from each college
in Maryland and from nearby business
colleges will be present for partici-
patton in the different forums.
Among the speakers will be DR.. Rex
Cunliffe, of Rutgers University, New
L. Burdick, of U. S. Office of Educa-
Brunswick, New Jersey; Mrs. Anna
tion; Miss Leona Buchwald, of Balti-
more Department of Education; Mrs.
Bernice H. Sterling, Regional Advis-
or of Eastern Shore Section of Home
Economics High School Clubs. These
people will lead forums on Saturday.
The students attending the confer
ence from P. H. S. may be sure of
obtaining some worthwhile informa-
ton.

Though they were defeated by
Cambridge, 46-19, in an attempt to
capture for the first time the Eastern
Shore Championship in basketball, Po
comoke brought to a close an enviable
basket ball season.
Although haunted by injuries and
bar breaks throughout most OF the
season, Coach Merrill brought his boys
along and made many an opponent
look sick.
Pocomoke was forced to play Cam

court and to those who know basket
ball this is no small disadvantage.
After leading AZ for brief NOM
