Warning Is Given On -.
Casualties In Kitchens
Many Avoidable Accidents De-
cur In Home Kitchens

Warning against Kitchen casual
ties, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
Maryland State Department of Health,
said:
can amazing number of avoidable
accidents occur in the homeland
many of them in the kitchen. Some Of
them could be prevented if few pre-
cautions were taken. For instance:
ITO avoid cuts that can very easily
become infected.
Beware of the can opener that
leaves a jagged edge, and very fire.
quently-a cut hand. 1t is worth put
ting little extra money into the kind
that leaves a smooth edge.
keep your kitchen knives and other
sharp cutting utensils in containers,
separated from other equipment in
constant use. Above all, keep such
things out of the reach of children.
when dishes or glasses are broken,
sweep up the pieces, with brush, into
a dust pan. Don't risk picking them up
with the fingers. In order that they
will not be source of danger to
others, wrap the pieces in old news
papers or put them in paper bag or
box, before you put them out to be
disposed of or carried off.
ITO avoid burns or even more serious
accidents from the use of fuel or
lighting oils:
Remember the old proverb about
not adding fuel to flames. 1t has very
special bearing in this connection,
Keep your fuel oil cans at very safe
distance from your stove-outside the
kitchen, if possible. incidentally, keep
matches, candles, lighted lamps, en-
tirely out of the reach of young chill
dren.
TO avoid mixing insecticides and
other dangerous poisons with food
supplies:
Have special place for any sup
plies that may be source of danger
Don't keep rat poison, plant sprays
poisonous silver polish, or any other
equally dangerous household supplies
side by side with baking powder, pan
cake flour, salt and sugar containers
or any other food supply.
Keep all dangerous supplies in a
separate place-not in the kitchen
cabinet. And see that they are care
fully labeled. Replace labels when they
fall off, and dispose carefully of thu
containers when the contents haw
been used.
"And don't forget: Keep every one
of these things out Of the reach o.
children"

TO CLEAN THE STATE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY

In recent weeks a movement has
been set in motion by certain men,
bers of the Maryland General Assem-
bly, to revamp its rules and bring to
the body that dignity which should
at all times be observed by any law
making body, State or National.
Rejecting on this proposition the
Baltimore Sun in its issue of Monday
took editorial notice and printed the
following as its leading article:
Several junior members of the
General Assembly have been making
it their business lately to heap hon.
est, justly deserved criticism on the
legislative branch of the State gov
eminent for the manner in which it
operates. The latest member to tak3
action is Delegate Jerome Robinson,
of the Fourth Baltimore district. He
wants to end the disgusting specta-
cles that invariably feature the clos
ing days of session. These spectacle 5
come when the legislative mill is
jammed and none but a favored few
can hope to know what is going on.
"Mr. Robinson does not believe that
the Legislature can or will clean its
own house. Judging by the past, tbs
belief is we'll founded. Mr.. Robinson
suggests that rules and regulations
for the conduct of the Legislature be
written into no less paper than the
State Constitution. He asks that con-
stitutional amendments be designed
to block last-minute jams and make
imperative a thorough study of pend
ing bills. Mr.. Robinson looks toward a
worthy goal, and it may be said that
if his suggestions were adopted even
outsiders would be able to keep abreast
of the legislative machine.
"But despite the desirability of the
goal, the course Mr.. Robinson pro-
poses to reach is highly dubious one.
The Constitution, after all, is the or
ganic law of the State. The root Of
the trouble in the Legislature has
nothing to do with organic law. 1t
stems from the fact that majority of
Senators and Delegates, failing to ap-
preciate the dignity of their office,
join readily in the Glowing of the I'M
principled few, allow prehensile poll
ticians to have their way and invite
public scorn for the State lawmaking
bodies.
"a well-ordered Legislature. with
conscientious, Woodworking and men,
bers that are thoughtful cannot be
created by amendments to the State
Constitution. The membership of a
legislative body makes it or breaks it.
If members want a roughhouse, they
have it. If they want discipline and or
derby procedure, they have it, and this
without rules or regulations from the
outside"

LEGION FIRM AGAINST WAR

The official program of the Ameri-
can Legion, as it relates to foreign af'
fairs, contains these very significant
statements:
1--WE not only believe that this
nation need not become involved
but insist and demand that the
President of the United States
and the Congress pursue a course
that, while preserving the SOW
ereignty and dignity of this ma
ton, will prevent involvement in
this conflict"
The program declares it the duty of
the American Legion 'to demonstrate
that our involvement in war is not in
evitable and must not occur; to COM
bat vigorously propaganda, of what
ever kind and from whatever source
designed to break down our neutral
ity."
Veterans of the last war know wal
first-hand. Knowing what war is and
what it does to the liberties and re-
sources of peoples, they sound clear
call for the United States to stay out
If attacked, they would rush to defend
our shores and our interests. They be-
lieve in preparedness. But they pos
itively are opposed to steps that tenc
to embroil us in foreign quarrels.
Here is fair warning from the mer
who fought in the last war to combat
Observation-Disclosures it comes from
private or governmental sources, de
signed to weaken our neutrality. The
veterans represent no selfish interests
in this move. They stand for the pres
ervation of peace, of freedom and de-
mocracy, in this country.
