HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS {.
BY the Old Lamp Lighter

Zee Mar College for Women,
The mention of the name Of this
former institution of learning in
Hagerstown will take at least a
number of readers, of The Hagers-
town Globe back to the earlier
days of the city. We recently
saw photograph taken in a
driveway on the campus. i'll front
of the main college building
around the year 1906 The sub
ject Of the picture was the college
wagonette. To it were hitched
two horses and in the vehicle,
which was without a top, were 10
college students and the man
whose duty it was to drive the
wagOnette around. The change in
the fashion of headgear Of those
horse and buggy days and the
present automobile days, was
noted. And incidentally, automO-
biles of the first type were just
coming to Hagerstown at that
time.
Another picture OF interest
which we saw was a number of
the college girls playing tennis,
Here was noted the difference
of tennis clothes of that date and
the styles Of today. The picture
showed the players attired in
skirts reaching to their shoe
tops.
But let these things be as they
may, Kee Mar College for Women
(now the site of the Washington
County HospitaD ranked as one
of the best institutions in the
East for the higher education of
women. The main building con-
tanned "A rooms and was furnish
ed in a thoroughly modern fash
ion. The music hall contained "a
rooms, each furnished with up
right pianos. There was a fully
equipped gymnasium.
The school was founded in
1S41 and was known originally as
the HagerstOwn Seminary. In 1901
it was incorporated as a college.
Prof. J. Emory Shaw was in
stalled president in June, 1904
Rev. DR.. R. H. Keedy will be re-
membered at least by some of the
older residents Of Hagerstown, as
the president of the institution for
a number of years. It's students
came from Hagerstown and many
sections throughout the United
States.

TRAFFIC DANGER
MUCH INCREASED
DURING XMAS

Dangerous traffic conditions in
shopping districts during the Christ
mas season demand increased vigil
lance on the part of both motorists
and pedestrians, the Keystone Auto
mobile Club declares, in holiday SAT-
ETY. bulletin.
"Motor vehicle traffic as well as
pedestrian traffic." said Matthew P.
Hanley, Manager of the Eastern Shore
Division of the Club, 'is unusually
heavy because of the Christmas shop
ping rush. Drivers should be ex-
tremely careful in passing through
shopping districts.
"Care should be exercised at inter-
sections, for pedestrians are liable to
dart from the sidewalk at unexpected
times. Jaywalkers' also, are prevail
ent at this time"
Pedestrians are also urged to use
caution when crossing streets. "Many
shoppers" continued the Club Manager
"are unused to walking in heavy traf-
fic and become confused. This is es-
pecially true of elderly persons. In
view of the obvious hazards, we recon
mend that all walkers cross only at in
tersections and only upon proper sig
mails. There is no excuse of 'jaywalk-
ing at any time, and especially during
this time of the year.
Gin brief, we wish to urge upon
every motorist and every pedestrian
the need for caution in congested
areas. Each year accident records
soar in the pre- Christmas season and
general cooperation will be required
to prevent the toll from rising this
year. The attempted saving of a
few minutes often proves costly in
human life."

RABBIT FEVER CAN
Be PREVENTED

TULAREMIA, more generally
known as rabbit Fever, can be pre-
vented if the hunter or housewife uses
care in handling the rabbits.
The Maryland State Game and Fish
Protective Association urges that
everyone should use rubber gloves
while skinning and cleaning rabbit.
This is a sure preventative, for the
disease cannot be transferred after
the rabbit is cooked. Tularemia can
be detected by the presence of white
spots on the liver and intestinal
tract of the animal.
