The In- dian pastors of these churches have to care for from one to three church. es and with such wide field their shepherding is at times superficial. It falls to MT. Fairbank to encour- age, advise, and give spiritual aid to both pastors and people.
 Another important job, which many would feel Q full-time one, is the superintendency of a Boys Vo- cational School at Vadala where In- dian lads are prepared to meet life in their own rural communities. They study the three R's essential to intelligent living, and specialize in farming, goat raising, chicken care, carpentry and other hand crafts which they can use when they go back to their primitive village homes.

RUSSIA ADDS MILLIONS

During the same period the population of the rest of Europe rose by only 32O00,0O0. Mos COW and Leningrad almost doubled their numbers. Baku's birthrate in- creased 33.9 per thousand and that of Moscow 28.5, whereas London and Paris could show only 13.6 and ll.5 respectively.

ing Cox fell to the floor of his cell
and that he had helped him up and
placed him in the bunk.
A break next to the ceiling in the

way which Myers could have gained
entrance into the other cell.
Cox suffered bruises on the throat

who investigated the case, said the
accident happened about 7:3O P. M,
at turn on Route 16 just north of
Cedar Grove Road. Smiths car was
travelling toward East New Market
and Hooper's toward Cambridge. Both
machines collided head-on when Smith
tried to pass another car on the curve,
Trooper Serman said.
Smith was accompanied by William

ceived a broken hip. Travelling with

juries. The others were cut and

CONTRACT IS LET
FOR THE BRIDGE
AT ST. GEORGES

Motorists from this section who
take the "all-the-way-round" route to
Baltimore and point beyond will be
glad to know that contract for the
substructure of high-level bridge to
span the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal at st. George, Del, replacing
draw-span structure demolished JAN
uary 10, 1889, has been awarded to
construction company of Cincinnati,
Ohio.
Two bridge-tenders lost their lives
in the wreck, when the Baltimore
bound freighter Waukegan went out
of control and crashed into the struc-
ture, topping it into the waterway.
Since the destruction of the bridge
highway, traffic bound for shore
points has been compelled to detour,
and st. Georges has been especially
hard hit, as it was cut off from the
surrounding territory.
The new bridge will, when complet-
ed at an estimated cost of $2,300,00O,
provide a four-lane river crossing.
Its paved width is to be forty-eight
feet. A sidewalk also will be provid-
ed.
The main span over the waterway
will have a total length of about $40
feet. The two main bridge piers, of
steel, will be founded on H-pile clus-
tiers driven so feet below the mean
low level of the water in the canal.
They will use 1876 feet above mean
high water.
The substructure contract provides
for erection of the two main piers,
as well as twenty approaches on the
north side of the structure and TWEEN
ty-cne on the south side. The ap-
proaches, to be of the steel deck-gird-
er design, will range in length from
"a to $50 feet.

DEPARTMENT
SENDS WARNING
FOR FIREWORKS

AS plans near completion for this
years celebration of the Fourth of
July, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, warns
against the irresponsible indulgence
in fireworks and other explosives.
More than 900 persons in Maryland
have been injured in Fourth of July
accidents due to fireworks, he said in
the last three years.
For several years, the State and
City Departments of Health have CO.
operated with the Maryland Society
for the Prevention of Blindness in
checking up on information concern
ing injuries received in such accidents.
"These records show" DR.. Riley con-
tinued, "that BOT persons were injur--
ed in Fourth of July accidents from
fireworks in 1899; 3O6 in 1888 and
295 in 1897; 9O8 in the three years.
There were probably great many
more that were not reported. Of the
3O7 accidents reported in 1889, rs &C.
Cured in the counties and 229 in
Baltimore City.
efforts have been made by public
and private agencies to secure legisla-
ton limiting the unrestricted hand
ling of fireworks. The regulations is
sued recently by the State Insurance
Department, through Mr.. John B.
Centrum, the State Insurance Com
missioner, governing the sale of fire
works in Maryland, mark great step
forward There is every reason to
hope this years toll of accidents will
be greatly reduced through the care
full enforcement of these regulations.
"In the meanwhile, in order that
we remember the hazards involved in
any handling of fireworks, it is worth
recalling last years record.
"Last years total of BOT persons in
jured in fireworks accidents over the
holiday included 1876 children under
Is; Ia of whom were from l to 5
years old, SO from 6 to 10 and 112
from IL to Is. Those in the older
groups included 80 from Is to 20; 28
from 81 to 80, and the rest were from
81 to 70.
"There was one death. Here is the
record: Adult. Thinking an areial
bomb would not go off, he went back
to examine it. It went off striking
his forehead. Fractured skull. Died
fifteen minutes after entering hos
pital.'
"a child of nine was struck in the
