To Observe Golden
Jubilee
Port Deposit To Pay Homage
To Founder Of Jacob
Tome Institute

With the fiftieth anniversary OF
the founding of the institute as the
outstanding feature on Saturday
May 20, students Of the Jacob Tome
Institute Port Deposit, are on the
threshold of one of the most active
| final programs in many years.
The golden jubilee Saturday, May
20, will be an all-day affair with a
morning parade. of children and at
tractive floats led by the Elks Boys
Band of Havre de Grace and a
rally at the new playground at
Washington Hall for exercises. DR..
H. G. Byrd, president of the Univer-
sity of Maryland, will be the prin-
cipal speaker. During the after
noon field day exercises will be held
by the elementary school. In con-
nection with the jubilee special
cachet will be issued.
Townspeople and the school chill
dren will be honoring man who
floated down the river from Penn
sylvnaia on lumber raft and start
ed his career there virtually pen
niless.
Jacob Tome laid the foundation
of his fortune in the lumber bus
mess. Swiftly his business prosper
ed, and he turned to finance, establ-
ishing banks in Elkton, Frederick,
Va, Hagerstown and Washington.
His fortune made, Jocob Tome
and his wife planned some philan-
throphy which would benefit Port De-
post. For years they made study
of educational methods and school
systems and settled finally on a
special institution for free practical
training.
Tones original charter specifies
each type of student to receive in
struction. In order of preference,
children of deceased Port Deposit
residents were ranked first; next
children of living residents. Students
from the county and the rest of the
State came last.
Tones aim would be training stu
dents to earn their living. The first
curriculum emphasized manual
training, based on the needs of the
countryside.
/ The institute was incorporated In
1889, and Jacob Tome set aside an
outright 100000 for its opera
tion-one of the largest endowments
of this kind in the United States.
Tome opened its doors in 1894,
with Prof. James r. Campbell, of
Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y, as
its first director, and a faculty of
teachers handpicked by Jacob Tome
himself. Before the first commence
ment, however, Tome died, in 1898.
Later, through act of the Legis-
lature, changing the original char
ter, but opposed by Mrs. Tome
and others, private school,
known as the Hill School, was erect
ed on a bluff overlooking the town
and the river, the institutes trus-
tees anticipating that profits from
it might aid in operation of the free
schools.
In April, 1898, the Hill School
was taken over by the alumni and
reorganized, ending financial diff
culties dating from the 1888 de-
preston. 1t now is operating separ-
ately from the Tome Foundation.

 New beauty preparations, fea- tured on midsummer cosmetics counters these days, are interesting enough to make the average shopper forget the heat and resolve to try to be more glamorous, hot weather or no.
 There is, for instance, 6 new com- pact which might very well be put under some sort of "neatest trick of the month" heading. In addition to rouge and Q compartment for loose powder, of course, 1t contains e tiny well of cleansing pads, and the clasp turns out to be @ lipstick. In other words, with this in your purse, re- moving stale makeup and applying a fresh coat Is no problem at all- no matter where you are.
 Furthermore, in the box with the all-purpose compact. is a large jar of the cleansing pads to keep on your dresisng table. When necessary, replenish the supply for the well from he jar. The lotion with which the pads are saturaed is ron-drying. ILLUMINATING
 LIPSTICKS
 To wear with navy blue, navy green, black, white, beige and gray, a well-known cosmetics firm is fea- turing rouge and lipstick in @ clear, true red. They maintain that 1t H. luminates the complexion as neither blue-red nor orange-red can do, and is fresh and youthful looking.
 Later on, with harvest wine, plum, royal blue, Bordeaux rouge, marine green and various why browns, the same firm will advocate burgundy rouge and lipstick. With medium blue, royal blue. raspberry pink and purplish rose, which you may be wearing now and later, deep orchid Ca rosy fuchsia tone) is recom- mended
 Another well-known firm, makers of smart nail polish and manicure sets, is featuring a sweet little, amazingly reasonably priced mani- cure kit. Containing a bottle of oily remover, an orange stick, a couple of emery boards and a bottle of polish in any one of a number of chic shades, it is especially handy for the traveller or for one who makes practice of changing nall polish at least once between regular weekly manicures.

Just sunk" after a little work or fun-do you require quiet, hate even the sound of the radio? Nerves may be the cause!
 Don't let nervous exhaustion make you a wet blanket, rob life of joy. Your nerves are sensitive, true, but properly understood they can make you more vital, charming than pla- cid people.
 Frequently the root of nerves is in childhood, psychologists say. If you were much petted, shielded, you may find 1t difficult to "harden" your self to grownup life. You stew over every petty worry that comes along.
 Get a sense of proportion. If friend husband is late for dinner, the cleaner lost a button on your dress, turn to some book on great achievements, heroic deeds - you'll soon quit fretting.
 Wise, too, is a build-up program for your physcial health. Get out and sun-bathe. The sunlight means more red cells in the blood, renews vitality, gives vitamin D.

SIX GRAINS or QUrNINE DAILY WHILE IN MALATelAL COUNTRY

WHILE IN MALA&AAL COUNIMx
 Many travellers ask what pre- caution one should take inNthe way of prophylaxis against various dis eases to which one may he ex- posed in various countries,
 In general the tourist or travel CT planning . visit to . foreign country. particularly . southern or tropical country, or for that matter to southern parts of our own country, is wise to take the fol- lowing precautions:
 1, At least Q month in advance of departure be immunized against typhoid and paratyphoid levers, This k simple eilough--you report to your family doctor for . "shot" (hypodermic injection) of the bactsrin ("typhoid vaccine") today and again for @ second shot in e week and finally for the last dose in two weeks. Occasionally the reaction to the first dose is unpleasant - headaches, feverish- ness, etc.. for @ day or two. But that only indicates how extreme ly susceptible you were to typhoid or paratyphoid fever, and hence how fortunate that you are now immune or rather that you will be immune in the course of several weeks--it takes several weeks for sufIicient immunity to develop to protect one against all but over- whelming, massive infection.
 2. Procure c vaccination certifi- cate from the physician who vac- cinated you against smallpox if you have been successfully vac- cinated within three years. If not be vaccinated now, and obtain the certificate, which is essential for entrance to many foreign ports.
 3. don't care whether you carry c toothbrush, garden hose, safety pins and black pajamas that wont show the dirt, but earnestly ads wise you to drop in for e chat with your dentor and let him put your teeth in good working condition be- fore you 90 away.
 {, Safest to avoid drinking water or milk. in foreign or primitive places, unless you are sure 1t hal been boiled one minute. Likewise shun raw salad vegetables, greens and fruits, except those you pare or peel yourself. Cooked food | always safest. ,.
 5. Garry a wee vial of common brown tincture of iodin, and put two or three drops in c quart oi water, shake up, lot stand twenty minutes before drinking. If you have to drink questionable wate, in an emergency.
 6. Garry enough quinine in two. grain pills. tablets or capsules 0! quinine sulphate, to provide you with 6 daily prophylactic dos' against malaria--two grains oi quinine three times c day through. out your stay in nalarial district. This Is the standard quinint prophylaxis against malaria rec. commended by the Worlds repre-
