CANTALOUPE IN
Md, INSPECTED
Maryland Law to Protect the
Fame of the Eastern
Shore Melons
SEASON is AT HAND

Licensed federal-state inspectors
viii protect the fame of the East
ern Shores cantalopes this year,
w. c. Beaven, specialist for the
Maryland Department of Markets,
announced last week. The depart
ment is stationing inspectors at all
shipping points and auction blocks
ready for busy season. The in
spectors prevent the sale or trans
portation of pacyed cantaloupes
that have not reached maturity or
have become overripe. Although
appearance may be the customary
guide, the final test is that the
Juice of the edible portion shall
contain not less than eight per
cent soluble solids as determined
by the Balling or Brix scale hydro
meter" Such tests are made by
the inspectors. Fines for violations
of the Maryland law are from a
minimum of S5 to $50. The in
spectors, under the law, are given
the right to enter freely any place
in the state where cantaloupes are
stored, packed, delivered for ship
ment, loaded, in public conveyances
private vehicles or exposed for
sale. Cooperation of growers has
been freely given to the inspectors
as a policy of marketing top quail
ity cantaloupes.

Sign of Cross Is Found
Within Ruins of Pompeii

ROME.-The centuries-old prob
lem of whether Christianity was
ever professed in ancient Pompeii
is about to be solved, according to
information obtained from high au-
thorities Of the management Of an
cient arts and monuments in Rome.
Historians and religious scholars
have tried in vain to solve the ques-
ton whether Christianity, which had
already been introduced in Imperial
Rome, had reached Pompeii. the
city destroyed under mud and ashes
in an eruption of Mount Vesuvius
in 79 A. d.
During excavation work in Pom
peii recently workmen came across
the clear impress of Christian
cross on the corridor of an ancient
villa.
Work was interrupted immediate
ly and Prof. Amedo Majuri. super
intendent of ancient art, was sum-
moned to the scene. Under his per-
sonal guidance excavation was con-
tinued cautiously until the whole of
the wall Of the corridor was brought
to light. The sign of the cross was
unmistakable and distinct.
Majuri declares that the presence
of the cross leaves no doubt that
only 79 years after the death of
Christ, His gospel was already be-
ing preached in Pompeii.

1910 CENSUS UNDER WAY

DWIGHT, ILL.-The youth Of
America were urged to hear an ap-
peal for temperance made more
than century ago by James Madi-
son. Andrew Jackson, and John
Quincy Adams.
Speaking before several hundred
people gathered here under the aus
pices of the temperance and health
education committee Of the Illinois
Church council DR.. R. E. Maupin,
of the medical staff Of the Keeley
institute, quoted the appeal by the
three great American statesmen
made in 1925. as follows:
Being satisfied from observation
and experience as well as from
medical testimony that ardent
spirits as a drink are not only need
less, but hurtful and that the entire
disuse Of it would tend to promote
the health. the virtue and the hap
piness Of the country and we hereby
express our conviction that should
the citizens Of the United States and
especially the young men discon-
tinue the use Of it, they would not
only promote their own personal
benefit but the good of our country
and Of the world" (SigneO James
Madison, Andrew Jackson, John
Quincy Adams.
President John Adams was an
unremitting foe Of liquor and would
be considered fanatic if he were
living today. DR.. Maupin pointed out.

terized drink as more destructive

makes its use purely an individual
problem to the average person.
Each person must decide the
question Of drink for himself" the
Keeley physician said, land since
the responsibility rests entirely with
him he Is entitled to know what al
coholism does to him."
Citing facts based on studies by
leading scientists showing the de-
structive effects Of alcohol on the
brain. the heart. the nervous sys-
tenn and the digestive tract, DR..
Maupin declared that the idea that
alcohol has any benefits as a medi-
cine is entirely out Of date.
