SOCIALISM CANNOT
LONG BE SELECTIVE

The statement of the president
that projects undertaken under the
newly proposed self-liquidating'
plan be Sin no way competitive
with private enterprise" would
seem to mark change in govern
ment policy. And it is a change de-
voutly to be desired.
Certainly, to anyone with an open
mind, it has become obvious that
direct and indirect competition with
business by the government has
been one of the principal factors
retarding recovery and prolonging
depression. And this fact is recog-
nized by men high in the admins
tration, as well as in business. AL
most a year ago, Mariner Eccles,
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board, said: ''In the private utility
field there was a prospect for a con-
siderable investment of private cap
ltal on replacement, modernization
and extension, but it could not be
expected that private funds would
readily flow into this field so long
as uncertainty prevailed as to the
legal and financial status Of the in
dustry. Public expenditures in this
field did not nearly compensate for
the absence of private expenditure.
Personally, believe that pub
lie funds should not be used in any
way to substitute public competition
with private industry"
Only month or so ago, Mr.. Ec-
cles again said: Il agree that it is
unwise public policy for the gov
eminent to 60 into the utility bust
ness in competition with private
capital"
The utility industry is the prime
example Of government destruction
of business today. But no one with
the most documentary knowledge of
the way professional politicians lust
for power, can believe that only the
utilities will be subjected to I'M
meetable, subsidized competition il
the present trend is not curbed. II

fies a goat with CROOKED horns" Now,
Ladies, I want to ask you if that word
CROOKED" should be found in the vo-
cabulary of political body, male or
female. It doesn't emit a lexicopragh-
ical odor any more enhancing than
the aroma which arises from the hir-
suite covering of the proposed mascot.
Now, anybody knows there is no crook
edness in the female mind. The main
idea of women's entrance into politics
was to purify it. They saw all man
ner of evil in mere mans conduct of
state affairs. For years they fought
for "women's rights" and when
achieved, the millennium Of the ballot
had arrived. So, amidst all that pur-
ity and cleanness and sweetness, why
introduce the doubtful smelling goat,
and make matters worse by express
ing preference for certain "crook-
endless" in his corporeal conformation.
You know, I think this crooked-horn
goat mascot idea is Fundamentally
wrong.
Now, if I may be allowed sugges-
ton, think it would be better-tho'
less animate, less inclined to warfare
if the Woman's Democratic Club
would adopt as trade mark, or party
symbol, or a button engraving, or
anything you choose to call it-would
adopt a washing machine" AS a
suggestive idea a cut Of one of these
electrical contrivances would look
scrumptious on neat letter-head, or

nostrils a most contented sense Of

FIRST REGIMENT WAS
HONORED in WORLD WAR

Headquarters Company were allowed
an increase of four men, and this has
already been accomplished.
The President has made it clear that
the expansion in the armed forces OF
the country is not to be interpreted
as a war-like gesture, but is design
ed, through building up the National
Defense, to assure respect for our
neutrality and preserve honorable
peace for this country.
The First Regiment traces its his
tory to two companies formed in Fred
erick on August 9, 1775, and COM
manded by Captains Cresap and Price
These troops set a precedent when
they marched from Frederick to the
relief of the Colonial Army at Boston
in 81 days, without the loss of man.
These men were among General
Washington's 400 invincibles" who
were credited with saving the Ameri-
can Army at the Battle of Long Is
land. The First Regiment Of the
Maryland Line was formed in 177S
and served with distinction through
out the remainder of the War.
From 1914 to 1860 the history of the
regiment is lost in the fog of history.
During the Civil War there were two
First Maryland regiments, one fight
ing for the South and the other for
the North. From this circumstance
the regiment draws it's colors, blue
and gray.

want to deal in metaphorical phrase

of service in such a labor-saving de-
vice would be more attractive and win
some that that force implied in the
driving power of a well-grown rams

old saying, "Molasses will catch more

whether the ladies selection of that

is fortunate one or not. People

HEALTH CAR
CHILD HYGIENE
DISMANTLED
After Tour OF The Counties In
Southern Maryland And
The Eastern Shore
DENTAL EXAMINATIONS
WERE VERY POPULAR

After its tour of the counties IN
Southern Maryland and on the East
ern Shore, the Health Trailer of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of Health has
been dismantled and put away for the
winter. The Health Bus" started out
for the season on Child Health Day,
the first day of May and remained in
the field until the end of August. The
tour started in Saint Mary's County
and ended in Somerset.
Eleven counties were visited-Saint
Mary's, Charles, Prince Georges Cal
vert, Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's, Tai
bot, Caroline, Worcester and Somer-
set. Stops were made at convenient
" accessible places along the way,
in accordance with schedule arrang-
ed by the County Health Officers.
During the four months of the tour,
1873 places were visited, and one or
more child health conferences, for the
examination of babies and young chill
dren school age, was held at each
place. Over 5000 children were ex-
amined, an average of 10 each day.
The Trailer is divided into two COM
partments, one for the general ply
steal examination, and the other for
the dental. The staff included doc
tor, a dentist, a public health nurse
and the driver of the car. The latter
also had charge of the health movies
shown in the evening.
Of the children examined 1,151 were
white and 1,s74 colored; 1873 Of the
white children and 329 of the colored
were babies under a year old; the
rest in each group ranged from one to
six years old. The older children
over $50 five and six years Odds
were examined in preparation for ad-
mission to school. Special attention
was given in all of the examinations
to the general health Of the child to
indications of malnutrition, to chest
conditions, to the throat, nose, tonsils
and teeth and to evident defects of Wis
ion and hearing. Children in need of
corrective medical cars were referred
to their own physicians.
The dental examinations were very
popular, and most of the children
show much more fortitude than grown
ups do under similar circumstances.
Over 1900 of the youngsters had their
first experience in dental chair, and
1854 were given dental treatments.
A check up of all of the children
showed that 4sO had not been protect
ed against diphtheria and nearly LOO
had not been vaccinated against small
pox. Parents who had neglected to
have these things done were urged
to have them attended to promptly.
They were also notified that the chill
dren could not be received in any pub
lie school in the state until they had
been vaccinated.
Child health conferences are held
in each county at regularly scheduled
times and places all the year round.
The Health Trailer conferences were
supplemental to those regularly held
in other parts of the State during the
summer. Information in regard to
year-round conferences can be obtain
ed from the county heath officer or
public health nurse.

Why do nose and

use Ephedrine
for head-Co|dS?

With the discovery of Ephedrine,
science took a great step forward in
its hghtagainst head-colds. When you
have a head-cold, the membranes Of
your nose become swollen, thus
interfering with normal breathing.
Ephedrine is used by nose and throat
specialists everywhere because it has
this unusual power . it shrinks the
swollen membranes of the nose almost
instantly-thus tending to bring
relief from that stuffed-up feeling,
and get breathing back to normal.
Now comes a new and important
development in the use of this re-
markable drug! The makers of REM
for Coug hs have developed an i'm
proved Ephedrine prescription for
use in relieving head-colds. 1t 10
called REL.

vivid conviction, "men must realize

become world government, and a
world government cannot be a large

Diffusion of Rud.

One might write very intricate
history of the idea of Rud in the
world. Always there has been fan
tasy and Justification in the picture
To begin with, the circulation of his
actual portrait was restricted. In
stead of a confusing spray of pho
tographs, two friendly studies of him

ven established visible personality

came frequent, these sketches dom
mated their Interpretation. He
would never allow himself to be pho
tographed speaking. He had studied
tne el1-eXpoSureS of Hitler and
Mussolini very carefully. and there
survives no portrait of his with his
mouth open. Neither was there any
legend OF his early up-bringing in
circulation in those early years

1nqulring Journalist. It's what YOU
are, and what you think, and whether
what I say is right for you"
Millions of people did not know
whether this Rud Whitlow they
spoke OF was English or American.
Millions thought of him as a wise
secluded old gentleman. His white
race had been noted and commented
upon. In America there was a wide
spread legend that he was diving
slowly of consumption. Another
story gave him an unspecified disease
IN the marrow of his bones that in
Tlcted the most frightful suffering
upon him. Sometime, it was said
the surgeons had to saw open the
marrow of bone to relieve him.
That gave him the support of many

Tered his dominance. 1t was hard to
envy man who moved with pain
and harsh to resist one who might
be dead tomorrow. There were
countless illusions to this tragic lone

ministers everywhere believed in and
expatiated upon his intense love
OF mankind" He hated cruelty. op-
preston, needless want and war,
they said, and he not only hated
tnem but he worked out the way
OF relief from all these things.
Men liked his radio voice. He had
studied the best models. From
TERRA del Fuego to Spitzbergen and
from China to Peru, there was an ex-
pectation that the time for a not
very clearly imagined world wide
crisis was drawing near, and that
when Rud said go" the great day
OF the common man would dawn.
He knew how to arrest this other
wise unstanchable flow of informal
warfare, more obviously aimless every
year, that still distressed the world,
