 Thousands at Scene
 Thousands of spectators jammed the blocks encircling the fire within fifteen minutes of the time when the Scoyill Go. and the American Brass sounded warning whistles. Policemen rerouted heavy traffic, as people from all parts of the city hurried to get look at the blaze.
 Seven hose lines were laid from South Main street, while five more lines were brought into play from the Canal street side. A billowing mass of flames, smoke, and sparks, shot high into the air, as firemen turned the first stream into the blaze.
 Chairman Frank Healey, of the fire board, and Commissioners Bur- ton Walker and Willis M. Tate were all at the scene, assisting the men, and were unanimous in their ap- proval of the manner in which Fire Chief Cavanaugh handled the situa- tion.

Shop Whistles
 Sounded Double
 Says Fire Chief

Although the repeated warn-
 ing whistles sounded by local factories last night at the start of the South Main street fire
 created the impression in the
 public that a general alarm was being issued, fire officials today stated it was only a d0u-
 ble alarm.
 Fire Chief Thomas F. Cava- naugh said today notification to sound the alarm was given the American Brass Co. and the Scovill Mfg. Co. by the tele- phone operator at headquar- ters.
 It was learned at headquar- ters that two blasts constitute a double alarm, while ten blasts are in order when the alarm is general.
 Off-shift firemen, however,
 responded en nlaSse, with ap-- prOximateIy 75 men quickly ap- bearing on the scene.

Garrett, Four Other Counties
Face Road Fund Deficit

Although 1857 900 in excess lateral
gasoline tax funds recently was dis
tributed among the counties, a State
Roads Commission financial report
Monday showed that five counties,
Garrett among them, face deficits
totaling $119,597 in their accounts at
the end Of the fiscal year. Garrett
county will be in the red $13,907, ac-
cording to the report.
The last Legislature authorized
the commission to distribute the ex-
cess funds, which had accumulated
over two-year period. William A.
Codd, chief auditor of the highway
commission, said that after all bills
incurred by the counties up to May 81
had been paid, and after anticipated
revenue from all sources had been
taken into account, these counties
would have deficits by September 80,
Allegany, Garrett, Kent, Washington,
and Prince Georges.
The eighteen remaining counties
will have credit balances totaling
$413,616 at the end of the fiscal year.

HOW LONG?

How long has it been since you
bought new automobile?
How long has it been since mother
had a new winter coat?
How long has it been since you
have been able to think seriously Of
buying that new and better radio?
How long has it been since you
have had the financial nerve to think
of new rug for the living room?
Have you given up hope entirely Of
ever moving to that house down the
street with the extra room for Junior
because the rent is just bit too high?
We agree, it's been too long-far too
long.
The answer: NEW DEAL TAXA
TION.
At the same time that the New Deal
has paraded itself as the saviour of the
working man and the American fam
lily, it has added tax after tax-mostly
hidden-to every article that same
home must have and that same work
ing man must pay for.
Do you earn $3.50 month? Then
you probably pay II per cent of every
dollar-12 cents out of every dollar
of that in hidden taxes. In other words,
you pay the government about $228.60
every year out of your earnings.
Did we mention a new automobile?
That $3.50 would make pretty good
difference to pay with your old car for
a new one, wouldn't it?
Did we mention a new winter coat
for mother? That $3.50 would buy
pretty nice one and then some,
wouldn't it, and then look how sweet
mother looks in it as she wends her
way to church on Sunday morning.
Did we mention anew rug for the
living room floor? That $3.50 would
buy one and a rug for every other
room in the house, wouldn't it. 1t
would even make that bigger house
possible!
There's your New Deal for you!
And the sad part of it is, this New
Deal, which says it stands for security
in the home, hasn't even begun to pay
the bills it has run up-don't forget
that amazing national debt that has
to be paid-and more taxes is the only
answer.
New rug? New car? New coat?
New radio? New home?
Get rid of the New Deal first.

Garrett County Has Escaped
The Japanese Beetle Pest
Thus Far This Year

The Department of Entomology of
the University of Maryland has re-
ported that large numbers of Japan
csc beetles are now emerging in in
Tested sections of Maryland and that
hundreds of people are inquiring about
control.
John H. Carter, County Agent in
Oakland, declared yesterday that as
yet the japanese beetle has not made
its appearance in this county, altho
there are few in Allegany county.
Should the area become infested,
however, it will cost the people of the
county a considerable amount of cash
in trying to control the pests" he
said. Mr.. Carter advises that farmers
become acquainted with the appear
ance of the beetle and that the APP
pearance of any in the county be re-
ported Immediately.
An exhibit of a beetle, under glass,
is at each high school in the county
and at the County Agents office in
Oakland for anyone who desires to
make an inspection.
There are four ways of control-the
trap, spray, treatment of lawns and
planting of flowers and shrubs that
the beetle does not feed upon.

MARYLAND DISTINGUISHED
FOR 3 IMPORTANT "FIRSTS"|
Modern Dentistry Stresses Pre-.
ventiOn of Many Diseases

Three of the "frsts" for which the
State of Maryland is distinguished
the first journal of dentistry, the first
dental society and the first school of
Observation-Disclosures the hundredth an
niversary of their establishment next
year. All of these forerunners of the
worldwide dental health service of to-
day were started in Baltimore in 1889
and 1910. Next March the centennial
of these events will be commemorated
by meeting in Baltimore that will be
participated in by leading members of
the dental profession from every part
of the world.
Speaking of the dental services now
available in comparison with those of
q hundred years ago, DR.. Richard c.
Leonard, Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, said, Modern dentistry had
its beginnings here in Maryland. The
service a hundred years ago was
unique in its ingenuity and was re-
markedly developed considering the
total lack of dental schools, literature
and dental organizations, but it was
crude in contrast with the comprehen-
sive service available today. Anesthet-
les, local and general, were unknown;
filings at the best were usually pre-
liminary to eventual extraction, and
plates of false teeth or what we speak
of now as 'dentures', were cumbersome
and were poor substitutes for normal
teeth.
"The hundred years since the estab-
lishment of the first dental journal,
the first dental school and the first
dental society have been characterized
not only by important developments in
the mechanical aspects of dental prac-
tice, but particularly by significant ad-
vances in the scientific approach to the
prevention of dental ailments.
GAS in the field of medicine, atten-
ton in dentistry was of necessity orig
inally focused on the correction Of
conditions due to accident, injury or
disease. Today, with corrective meas
ures, constantly improving, special en-
phasis is placed on prevention and on
the relation of mouth health to the
general health.
obstruction as to proper diet as an
aid in forming and maintaining strong
teeth and advice as to thorough clean
illness of the mouth as a safeguard
against decay, are as much a part Of
a dentists practice today as are his
training and skill in the use of dental
instruments in the correction of dental
ailments.
'"The hundredth anniversary of the
beginning of modern dentistry will, of
curse, be properly celebrated by the
dental profession. Elaborate plans are
well under way for the commemora-
ton of the event. But it is the general
public that has benefited by this cen
fury of growth and development and
the occasion belongs to them as well as
to the dental profession. 1t would be
an excellent idea if each individual
would celebrate it by giving special
thought to his own dental needs. Have
you had a dental examination re-
