Britain Assures
Aid TO Poland in \
Newly Drawn Pact
Uncompromising Treaty
Follows Nazi-Russia
Agreement

LONDON, Aug. 25. (UP)
Great Britain signed a mu-
tual aid treaty with Poland
tonight declaring that she
would fight any attempt to
destroy Polands independence eth
er by direct or indirect attack or
by economic strangulation.
Signed in the midst of steadily
intensifying European war crisis
the treaty disclosed mutual guar
antees of assistance far more dras-
tic than had been anticipated as
result of the British pledges given
Poland last April. 1t was designed
as a defiant answer to Adolf Hitlers
demands for free hand in eastern
Europe as well as stinging counter
blow to the new Soviet-German
treaty.
The alliance would be applicable
on attack by any nation on Poland
but its terms in the present situ-
alton applied chiefly to Germany
or to Russia, or to any German

be sent to College Park for a complete
analysis and the results will be re-
turned within one week. Samples
should be taken in the following man.
ner:
Sink a spade six or eight inches in
the ground and throw the earth to one
side, then take a thin slice Of soil
from the side of the hole just made,
getting a uniform amount Of soil on
the spade from the surface to the
bottom of the hole. Repeat this OPP
Grafton several times at different
points in the field, placing all Of the
soil in the same container. Then mix
the samples thoroughly. From this
take one cupful of the mixed soil,
whish will represent the average of
the field. Bring samples from as
many fields as you like. Be sure the
soil is dry, but do not put too close
to the stove in order to dry it.

eases reported; from 1883 in 1887,
to 1862 in 1888.
The list of "reportable" diseases
include about 40 that are Catching
in some way. Physicians in attend
ance are requested to report the &C.
currence Of such diseases among their
patients to the nearest health officer,
in order that measures to prevent
their spread may be instituted without
delay. When there is no physician
in attendance the responsibility for re-
porting certain diseases shifts to
householders, or others with know
ledge Of the facts.
Over nine tenths Of the sickness re-
ported in 1888, was divided among
three groups of diseases. The social
ed children's diseases including scar
let fever, measles, diphtheria and
whooping cough, were responsible for
33 per cent of the total. The We
nereal diseases were charged with AZ
per cent; and the pneumonias; tuber-
culosis and influenza accounted for 16
per cent. The rest was divided among
all other diseases.

LAST YEAR WAS
FAVORABLE AS
TO CONTRACTION
Provisional Figures Show That
Last Year AS Decreasing
In Contagious Diseases

Provisional figures for 1888, issued
by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, for sick
ness from the "reportable" diseases,
which include the major contagious or
infectious diseases, show that last
year went down into history with an
especially favorable record for such
diseases.
There were 39,184 cases of infec-
tious diseases reported during the
year in comparison with 5000 in
1887: 47,261 in 1896; 39,487 in 1885;
63,O89 in 1884 and 39,781 in 1888. The
total in 1888 was divided between Bal
timore City and the counties as fol-
lows: Baltimore City, 23,104; the
counties 5000.
There were no outbreaks of out
standing Importance, and measles and
influenza which add materially to the
total in epidemic years, were at a low
ebb; 1861 cases of measles were re-
ported in comparison with 1920 in
1887; and 523 of influenza as COM
pared to 3,454 in 1888.
Less than half as many cases of
whooping cough were reported; 2,315
in comparison with 1870 in 1888. Ty-
phoid fever dropped from 327 in 1887
to 284 in 1888; diphtheria from 513
in 1887 to 1853 in 1898; Vincent's An
gina (trench mouth) from 1872 in 1887
to 124 in 1888; poliomyelitis (infan-
tile paralysis), from 80 in 1887 to II
in 1888, and meningitis, from 269 in
1887 to 80 in 1888. There were 200
fewer cases Of tuberculosis (all
forms) reported, and nearly 400 few
er of the pneumonias. The totals for
these diseases were: tuberculosis, 81
POT in 1897; 1899 in 1888; the pneu-
monias, 3,451 in 1897 and 3,061 in
1888.
Diseases in which increases were
observed, included Rocky Mountain
spotted fever of which 81 cases were
reported; undulant fever, 60 cases;
malaria &c; tularemia 80, and septic
sore throat $50; in comparison with
the following in 1887, Rocky Noun

towns and cities to raise funds to COM
bat Infantile Paralysis.
January 30th has been set aside per
manently as the date on which mil
lions of persons dance, play bingo,
have theatre parties, or any other
type of entertainment desired locally
to raise funds for the fight against
this dread diseases. The date is the
occasion of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt's birthday and he himself

According to Senator Radcliffe the
funds raised this year will be distrib-
uted on a fifty-fifty basis. That is,
one half of the funds raised in COM
munity will be retained by that COM
munity for use in supplying an addi-
tional bed or other needed equipment.
The other half will be forwarded to
the National Foundation.
The funds turned over to the Ma
tional Foundation are used for the
following:
First, to maintain research to find
serum, vaccination, innoculation or
other preventative for Infantile Par
alysis.

proper care Of the victims.
Third, to rush doctors, nurses, Iron
Lungs, and odther equipment and faci-
lities to any community in the United
tates when and if an epidemic Of In
fantile Paralysis should break out.
"It is most important that the peo-
pie of the State of Maryland partici-
pate in this campaign to raise funds
for this fight against Infantile Par
alysis," Senator Radcliffe said. "There
is nothing political or discriminatory
about this undertaking. It is mere
ly an effort on the part of everyone
to help poor helpless cripples who
otherwise would not be taken care
Of"
"It is our hope that millions will
dance this year that thousands may
walk again."
Mr.. J. A. Clarke, Of Baltimore, has
been named Director Of Organization
of the Maryland activity for Senator
Radcliffe. He will be actively in
charge of the parties in Baltimore and
will confer and assist the chairmen in
the counties.

REPORTS SHOW
NUMBER KILLED
DURING 1888
Four Hundred And Seventeen
Persons Killed AS Against
SIG In 1887
FURTHER CARE NEEDED
TO REDUCE FATALITIES

A complete report including Balti-
more City and the Counties show that,
during the year of 1888, four hundred
and seventeen persons were killed by
motor vehicles, as compared with five
hundred and ninety during the year
of 1887. One hundred and seventy
three less, a decrease of 1913 percent.
A. very significant fact the sum-
mary has developed is that fifty-two
percent of the persons killed during
the year of 1888 were pedestrians,
twenty-seven percent were passen-
gers, three percent were bicyclists,
and eighteen percent were the oper-
ators themselves. There were LOG
accidents in Baltimore City resulting
in LOT deaths, while there were 287
accidents in the Counties resulting in
80 deaths. There was no County in
this State that did not have two or
more fatalities during the year of
1888. Baltimore and Prince Georges
Counties, respectively, head the list
Of mosts deaths, with Charles, Queen
Anne, and Talbot Counties having
the smallest number.
Most of the fatalities involved pas
senger cars with apparently no de-
fects, operated by white males, sober,
during. the hours of P. M. to 8 p.
NJ, a resident of one of our Coun-
ties, and between the ages of 20 to 20,
with five years or more operating ex-
perience. Most fatalities occurred
during clear weather, on straight, dry
roads of concrete construction, and
mainly on Sundays and Saturdays
Most of the collisions between two or
more vehicles were right angle col
hsions. In large number of the &C.
cidents improper driving is classed
as operating too fast for conditions.
Most of the pedestrian accidents in
volved persons in normal condition,
and they were struck crossing not at
an intersection, or between intersec-
tons and intersecting roads. Accord
ing to our summary 457 operators
involved in these fatalities; 203 oper-
ators were exonerated from all blame;
Al operators were dismissed due to the
fact that an inquest was deemed I'M
necessary; Ga operators secured the
verdict of accidental death; 45 oper-
ators gained decision of unavoidable
accident; IL operators met their death
thru own negligence; 33 operators
were held for Grand Jury action; Is
operators so far have been convicted
