ago when she was a big little girl.
If you have forgotten, 1t was while
playing with the Rams Head players
at Wardman Park Theater that Miss
Barrett so impressed David Belasco
he gave her q first big push toward
fame.
Miss Barrett's pleasant voiced
messenger said that Miss Barrett
said tell us she was now reading q
play called THE Impressionist." "
which Adela Rogers st. John wrote
especially for her.
It sounds like a good title for a
play for Miss Barrett. Incidentally
she went back to her old ways for q
while last summer, playing briefly
at CohasSet in a new comedy by
James M. Cain, whose name sounds
odd associated with comedy. The
comedy was headed for Broadway,
but something happened to it. Some
thing so often happens to plays.
That Mr.. Raymond Massey's act
ing talent is something of scope is
thing you can learn by seeing
Drums" which opens at Loew's
Capitol on Friday. Mr. Massey,
whose portrait of Lincoln in Robert
Sherwood's play is likely to win all
acting awards this season, is no Lin
colnian figure in the English movie.
He is quite the reverse, in fact, a
mad, cruel, cunning tribal prince
who is willing to resort to any saw
agery to make the English un-
happy in India. It Is flaming part
and Mr.. Massey handles it very
handsomely.
Drums" Of course, is the picture
which introduces young Sabu as the
tiny Elephant Boy" who has now
grown up and learned to speak
excellent English. It also brings
back to the American screen Roger
Livesey, who last appeared here In

many were found in need Of dental
work to some permanent teeth. The
Newark Parent-Teachers Association
has raised some money and arranged
for an oculist in Salisbury to exam
inc the eyes and prescribe glasses at
reduced rates for those children whose
parents cannot afford to purchase

Snow Hill Infant Deaths
Considerable concern was manifest
in Snow Hill recently over what was
believed to be an epidemic among
babies. Rumors considerably magni-
fled the gravity of the situation which
finally amounted to this: Two young
babies died from protracted diarrhea
and vomiting, which was associated
with infection OF the upper resplra-
tory tract such as sore throat. Other
rumored deaths could not be verified
or were due to entirely unrelated con-
ditions.
Although there was no epidemic,
there were some similar cases in chill
dren-intestinal upset associated with
respiratory infections and grippe,
called by some doctors Intestinal In
fluenza." The only needed warning
to the public is this: Protect your
children and especially babies from
needless exposure to individuals with
colds and sore throat. Call your ply
sician promptly in case they have in
testinal upsets or heavy colds. If
these suggestions are followed it is
believed that there will not be any
more deaths and few serious cases.

DETAILED REPORT
HEALTH CONDITION
IN WORCESTER CO.

To The Citizens Of Worcester County:
Seven mothers died during child
birth in Worcester County during
1887. This is an unusually large num-
Der, and was exceeded in only three
other Counties in the State,-Anne
Arundel, Allegheny and Baltimore,
Counties having population greatly
in excess of ours. Two of these
deaths were due to septicemia (blood
poisoning or child-bed fever) and
were probably preventable. Three
were due to taxemias of pregnancy
and of these two were probably pre-
ventable. Two deaths were due to
accidents of pregnancy and may not
have been preventable.
The tragedy of maternal deaths is
great. If normal home life contrib
utes, as we know it does, to the prop
er upbringing of children, the loss of
seven mothers is a loss which Worces-
ter County can i'll afford. Where
deaths are numerous, we know that
non-fatal complications which may
seriously impair the health of women
is also great. So closely is infant
health related to maternal health,
that where maternal deaths are num-
erous there infant deaths are also
high. The infant death rate in Wor-
cester County is greatly in excess of
that for the rest of the State, and
long has been so.
Maternal deaths are preventable.
From one-half to two-thirds are un-
necessary. The blame is in part due
to ignorance or neglect on the part of
the women involved; in part it is due
to lack of proper medical supervision
for these women.
Recognizing a need in Worcester
County, the Health Department inaug-
urated during February program for
maternal health. Clinics for expec-
tant mothers have been started in each
of the three Health Centers of the
County-Pocomoke City, Snow Hill
and Berlin. These clinics, which will
be held monthly offer to the under
privileged women medical supervision
during pregnancy, and periods of in
struction and demonstration in the
hygiene of maternity. Miss Walters,

the County Home Demonstration
Agent, will assist in demonstrating
proper food and cooking, demonstra-
tions aimed to aid pregnant women
with low income. The present clinic
patients are mostly colored, but plans
are being developed to serve white
women at special clinic sessions.
Such a program can be effective IN
reducing maternal deaths. In Anne
Arundel County, where an extensive
maternal health program has been In
operation for several years, no women
died who were under the supervision
of private physician, or the Health
Department. Similar records have
been achieved elsewhere. 1t is hoped
that from the modest beginning which
has been made, a program Of increas-
ing service can be developed for Wor-
cester County.
Clinic Hours for Maternal Health
Pocomoke City-The first Thursday
morning of each month at g o'clock
at the Health Department office.
Snow Hill-The fourth Wednesday
morning of each month at 9 o'clock in
the Odd Fellows Building.
Berlin-The second Tuesday after
noon of each month at 1 o'clock in
the Clinic Building.
What is Adequate Prenatal Care
How may a woman know when she
is getting proper medical supervision
for her pregnancy? The following is
the irreducible minimum upon which
each woman should insist for herself.
1. Acomplete phyical examina-
ton at the first visit.
2. A Wasserman blood test at the
first visit. This is especially impor-
tant as routine for every woman.
3. Measurement of the pelvic
bones at the first visit. The internal
measurements are of greatest impor-
lance.
a. Blood pressure measurement
and urine examination at each visit.
5. Abdominal examination at each
visit.
Prenatal care cannot be considered
adequate unless it begins early in
pregnancy, certainly not later than the
third or fourth month. This is es-
pecially important because one-third
of the maternal deaths occur before
the sixth month of pregnancy. A ply
stefan should be visited monthly and
more frequently during the six weeks
before delivery. With adequate pre-
natal care, the dangers of pregnancy
can be largely eliminated.
Newark School Work
Good results are being achieved
from the school examinations per-
formed by the Health Department in
Newark early in February. AS an
tlcipated, several children were dis
covered who needed the examinations
OF an oculist to prescribe glasses and

LEWIS WARNS OF FASCISM
IN u. S.

Mexico City, Sept, (CNA)-John
L. Lewis, head of the Committee for
Industrial organization told $4,000
Mexican workers assembled in Mexico
City's bull ring here this week, that the
United States was in danger of a
fascist movement, and pledged the sup
port of his organization in the struggle
against fascism.
Democracy" Mr.. Lewis declared,
always has had its enemies. Now
these have allied themselves under the
black flag of fascism with the coopera-
tion of reactionary elements elsewhere.
Z "In the United States reactionary
corporation lawyers have always op-
posed the right of workers to organize.
These groups have not yet made any
open demonstration of fascism. We
may expect, however, that they will
turn to open fascism when they find it
convenient to do So"
In ringing speech to the throng
who are assembled here as delegates
to the International Congress Against
War and Fascism, the c. l. O. head
attacked the practice of employers of
sending spies into factories, spreading
lies about unions, and inducing author
tiles to commit acts of violence against
workers. These practices, he asserted,
are the weapons of fascism.
He pointed to the existence in the
United States of such groups as the
Ku Klux Klan, the Silver Shirts and
Nazi organizations and said that work.
ers' organizations must always be on
the alert against them.
