State Insurance
Commissioner Warns
About July 4th

John B. Centrum, State Insurance
Commissioner, issued the following
statement, warning citizens to observe
caution during the 4th of July cele-
bration:
During the 4th of July celebration
many unnecessary fires are caused by
the careless use of fireworks and ex-
plosives. AS a result of ignorance and
carelessness, much property is de-
stroyed and many lives are lost an
nually. / appeal to the public to OBJ
serve the greatest caution in the hand
ling of matches and explosives of all
kinds. Parents at this season of the
year are prone to relax their ordinary
caution, and allow their children much
more liberty in the use of matches
and explosives, with resulting prop
erty damage and the loss of life or
limb. I urge parents to make an effort
particularly to supervise their chill
dren during the 4th of July holidays,
and to observe every precautior

soap = rinsing frequently in clear
water. The abundant soapy lather will
help to dissolve the oily sap. which is
not affected by water, alone. But be
very careful in rinsing not to spread
the irritating poison.
"The poison retains its strength for
long time on objects that have
come in contact with it = even last
ing from one season to another. Cloth
ing or tools or other objects that have
been contaminated with the sap or
juices from the plants should be thor
oughly scrubbed with soap suds be-
fore they are put away.
Constitutional disturbances, fever,
digestive and kidney complications
may occur in connection with the skin
poisoning produced by poison ivy and
other members of that plant family.
Accordingly, as soon as any signs of
the poisoning occur, consult your fam
lily doctor. He will give you detailed
directions as to what you should do"

AVOID LEAFLETS THREE
State Dept. of Health

use your eyes when you go
through the woods. You can recognize
poison ivy by the way its leaves are
divided into threes. If you see
leaflets three; let them be- sums
up the answer and advice of DIR. p.
H. Riley, director of the Maryland
State Department of Health to a
question as to how to avoid the
danger of skin poisoning = dermatis
- from contact with poison ivy.
"In this part of the world; poison
ivy is a very persistent pest, DR..
Riley continued. "You will find the
vine festooned over fences and fence
posts, growing over walls, climbing
up and over tree trunks, scrambling
along the ground or attaching itself
TO underground. 1t is a determined
and very luxuriant grower. You can't
miss it. But avoid touching it. You
can usually distinguish it from other
vines by its three leaflets. 1t is often
entangled with Virginia creeper or
woodbine. But the Virginia creeper
has five leaflets = not three - and
is harmless.
"The skin poisoning caused by
poison ivy and by other members Of
the same plant family, is due to an
irritating, resinous substance, in the
sap of the plants. Anybody who has
ever suffered an attack of poisoning
from poison ivy has every reason for
remembering to keep hands off of it.
The slightest brushing of the leaves
or handling of the plants will release
the poisonous sap. 1t is deposited on
anything that it touches, not only on
the hands and face, but on clothing,
shoes, tools, garden implements, golf
clubs, golf balls and the fur of ami
mails. The poison may even be car
ried long distances in the smoke
from burning the leaves or stems or
roots of the plants in camp fires and
in brush fires.
"The best way to protect yourself
against poison ivy dermatitis is to
avoid touching the plants. If you hap
pen to come in contact with poison
ivy, the first thing to do is to lather
the hands and other affected parts,
thoroughly, with suds from a good

BIBLE STILL READ

In these days when democ-
racy is being forced to take
stock of her resources, lovers
of human freedom will read
with encouragement the re-
leases from the annual re-
port of the American Bible
Society, whose 123rd annual
meeting has just been held
and whose sole purpose for
a century and a quarter has
been to make the Bible avail
able to all men of all nations,
however little they may have
with which to purchase it.
Wherever this great book has
been seriously read human
freedom has fiourished and
democratic institutions have

China with all her appall-

Japan likewise increased her
purchases by about 10 per-
cent over the year before.
Meanwhile the Scriptures
moved into a dozen new
languages in 1888, bringing
the total number of tongues
in which some part of the
Scriptures have been trans
lated to 1921. It is now con-
servatively estimated that
nine-tenths of the people of
the world might hear some
substantial part of the Scrip
lures read in their native
tongue. No book in the
world even family approaches
this record. AS long as this
continues human freedom
has a great ally.
