Hurts EMPLOYMENT.

Some persons thought resumption
of brewing and distilling under re-
peal would do much to lessen I'm
employment, but no such effect has
resulted, the Newburgh, N. Y, News
commented recently.
The newspaper referred to figures
cited in a Newburgh address by
Mrs. D. Leigh Colvin, New York
W. c. T. U. president, showing that
if money which has gone and is 60
ing into liquor were diverted to gen.
e.,al industry employment would be
several times greater.
The article continued:
'There is another point to be con-
s:dered. When person spends
money for a useful manufactured
product, such as a car, radio, re-
frigerator, or piece of furniture, he
has the use and enjoyment of such
an article over long period. But
money spent for drink is money that
brings no return at all, leaves moth
ing in the hands of the purchaser,
satisfies an appetite only Temperate
ly, and may do actual harm"

YARD STICKS" FOR LABORA-
TORY TESTS

The development of yard sticks
for the measurement of the effective
ness of tests made by medical and
public health laboratories--public and
private--scattered throughout the
State, as aids to physicians and
health officers in the diagnosis and
control of disease, is an important
part of the program of the Mary
land Association of Medical and
Public Health Laboratories acting in
cooperation with State and Balti-
more City Health Department.
In accordance with this arrange
ment, a preliminary check up of the
procedure followed in the various
laboratories in the tests for syphilis,
was made last year, and a second
survey is now under way, under the
sponsorship of the Bureau of Bac-
teriology of the State Department
of Health. 1t will be completed in
December and a list of approved lab
oratories in the Counties of Mary
land will be published about the mid
die of April.
In announcing the arrangements
for the survey, DR.. R. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Heauth said that legislation enacted
at the last session of the General AS
sembly requires all diagnostic lab
oratories operating in the Countries
of Maryland to be registered with
the Department and employers the
Department to establish minimum
standards for laboratory procedure.
There are oyer sixty institutions
of one sort or another in the coun-
ties," he said, sin which medical or
public health laboratory work is
carried on. Laboratory services for,
or by, these institutions range from
a few very simple tests to highly
complicated ones. Interest in the
standardization and Improvement of
these services brought about the or
ganization of the State Association
of Medical and Public Health Labor
atories.
Laboratory procedures used in
OAoAulAoLlOAO AO4 OJPAAAA0 low 0SOA
selected for the check up at this time
because Of the wide incidence of the
disease and because such tests con-
stitute very important part of the
State program for it's control or pre-
vention. Approximately $4,000 speci-
mems were examined in 1899 in the
laboratories of the State Department
of Health for evidence of syphilis.
This total was supplemented by the
examination of many other speci-
mems in the private and institution
al laboratories.
Standards of performance in
making such tests have been estab-
lished by the U. s. Public Health
Service, and the CALCULATIONS will be
in accordance with these standards.
ALI laboratories in the counties
which meet the requirements will be
approved by the State Board OF
Health"

'risburg, Pa, this year, when they
placed first and fifth respectively in
the demonstration and cattle judging
cCntests.
The Maryland dairy demonstra-
lion team was awarded first place
in the Eastern Section. 1t was COM
POSED of Frederick Kretzer and Dav-
id Mckee, of Washington county,
and demonstrated the fitting calves.
The team won the right to represent
he State at Harrisburg by winning
J first palce in the State elimination
contest at the Maryland State Fair
IN September Coaches were Harry
w. Beggs, Assistant County Agent
in Washington county; and John A.
Conover, Specialist in Dairying for
the Extension Service.
Each boy will receive a $3.50
scholarship for use in any college or
University This is the second year

FIGHTING FIRE FOR DEFENSE

The National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, the organization which
represents all of the principal stock
fire insurance companies of the Unit
ed States, has established War De-
partment Advisory Bureau of Fire
Protection in Washington. The bu-
reau, which is attached to the Con-
sturction Division of the Quarter
master Generals office, will cooperate
with the War Department on all mat
tiers involving fire prevention and
protection.
This action was taken at the re-
quest of the Quartermaster Gener-
ais office, which wrote that it de
sires to obtain the advice and as
sistance of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, under procedure
somewhat similar to that adopted
during the World War. =. If such a
system can be worked out at this
time with one or two qualified ex-
perts from your organization assign
ed to this Office and other experts
selected by you assigned to the var
ious construction projects, you will
be rendering a signal service to the
Government"
The importance of fire prevention
to national defense is clear. When
fire strikes, the best laid plans may
be ruined. One great fire might put
an essential factory out of opera
tion for many months. National de-
tense calls for the coordination of all
the production, transport and dis
tribution facilities Of this country.

THANKSGIVING NOVEMBER Fl
IN MOST STATES

Thanksgiving Day is essentially a
to the Pilgrim Fathers, having been
first observed in 1921 in Massachus-
etts Colony by suggestion of Cover
nor william Bradford, Due to efforts
of Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale, first uni
form celebration asa day of national
thanksgiving was proclaimed by
President Lincoln in 1853 and from
1854 to 1888 Except 1869 last
Thurs. in Nov. was proclaimed an
nually by President as day of Ma
tional thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving turkey will be eat
en- this year on Nov. Fl in 80 States
and on the traditional last Thursday
(Nov. 28) in the other 16 States.
This represents an increase in num-
Der of States adopting third Thurs
day in November, designated by
President Roosevelt, over last year.
In 1889, 23 States observed it on
third Thursday and two States OBJ
served both dates. States which will
stay with tradition and observe the
last Thursday of November as
Thanksgiving Day this year are:
Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Kan
sas, Iowa, Massachusetts, Nevada.
New Hampshire, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota. Tennessee,
Vermont, and probably Maine.

ARMISTICE DAY

Twenty-Five years ago, on Novem-
Der IL, 1918, the whole world was
filed with rejoicing. The war was
over! An Armistice had been agreed
upon between warning nations. Four
years of bloody warfare had come
to an end.
More than eight and one-half
million young men were killed in
the great World War.
Add to the number killed the ire
mendous number of wounded, OF
men reported missing" whose fate
has never been certain, and there is
al total of more than thirty-seven
million of vigorous youths whose
lives were lost or their physical bod
les injured in that terrible four
years of war; Is it any wonder that
among those who went through it
there is burning zeal for peace?
And yet today, the same nation
Germany-that precipitated that
great war, because of her greed for
power and conquest, starts another
holocaust laying waste to country
after country, gradually spreading
until it may again envelop almost the
entire world.
A ''war to end war;" was the slo-
gan of the World War. How foolish
it sounds now All the sarifice of
human lives has not taught nations
yet that war never settled anything.
And what of Hitler and his War
Lords; upon whose shoulders rest
squarely the blame for this second
World War. Is it any wonder they
are the most universally despised
group of men who exist today, and
who some day will be brought to an
accounting.

They Bought
A Gold Brick

THOSE wealthy individuals who
L head large Eastern corporations
and who were the financial angels of
repeal must have had many bitter
moments since 1888.
Fletcher Dobyns, now retired but
long an eminent lawyer, studies the
people and the motives in his
Amazing Story of Repeal" Dobyns
definitely charges certain of the ma
tion's very wealthy men with spon-
soring lawlessness and crime DUR
ing 1920-1933 to bring repeal of pro-
hibition.
The cream of the jest is that their
sole original purpose in bringing
back the liquor traffic was the be-
lief that liquor taxes would make it
possible for the federal government
to decrease income taxes.
To reduce their own taxes, they
were willing that poisonous mar
cotic again be peddled in the market
Places" according to a recent re-
view of the book made for National
w. c. T. u.
In 1888, they settled back hoping
for life with reduced income taxes!
low bitterness must have gnawed
at their hearts in the years since
1888! Especially just before March
Is of each year as they signed their
income tax returns at new, higher
rates!

FEEDING CONQUERED NATION
UP TO HITLER

If Germany will properly distri-
butte the food supplies available in
Europe, there will be no starvation
on the continent this winter, evil
dence presented by the English re-
veals. The fact that Hitler has the
reserves to feed both Germany and
the conquered nations was brought
out in an answer to demands by for
mer President Herbert Hoover and
others in the United States that food
be sent through the British block
ade to avert famine in Europe.
The English admit that the winter
will bring suffering to thousands
of subjugated people-even to Ger
man civilians. But they reason that
Hitler made himself responsible for
these people when he conquered
them. England cannot relax the
blockade, for such an action would
UNNECESSARILY strengthen the enemy.
Much of the continental food sup
ply goes into German war produc-
tien. 1t is estimated that million
TINS of potatoes have been used to
produce fuel alcohol, milk is used
for casein, and fats go into the pro-
duction of glycerine and nitro
glycerine.
Most of Hitler's conquests were
made under the name of "protec-
tion." Yet Holland was looted of 80
per cent of it's butter reserves in a
week. Denmark's pigs and poultry
are being slaughtered, canned and
sent to Germany. Norways entire
catch of fish is reported seized, while
Belgian farmers received notice that
a large percentage of grain and
livestock would be taken over for the
good of the state. The western grain
reserves of France, confiscated by
Germany, yielded 100000 or more
tons of food for the Nazi army.
In the face of these facts, it seems
extremely unlikely that any plan to
ship food to Europe, as suggested by
Mr.. Hoover, would prove acceptable
to England. The alternate suggestion
is made that England and the United
States get together on a plan to ship
reserves to the continent as soon as
the war is finished.

JAPAN, MEXICO AND HEMIS-
Pierre DEFENSE
BY ]. E. Jones

Washington, November 4Mexico
seems to be dizzily following Mr..
Finnegan's train in it's "off agin, on
agin, gone agin" gyrations. First the
cry was Mexico for Mexicans. F."
Under it's inspiration Mexican poll
ticians for years robbed American
citizens right and left, wholesale and
retail. And all the time she protested
love for Uncle Sam and all his
nephews.
Next, Mexico sells 100000 bar
rels Of grabbed oil to the dictator
nations of Germany, Italy and Japan.
:. oil which even today may be in
strumental in helping Germany to
keep her bombing feet busy in
striking at Britian's civilian popu-
lation. More lately Mexico contract
ed to sell 100000 barrels of the
grabbed oil to Japan, substantial
part of which has been delivered
through the Panama Canal while
Japan makes noses at Uncle Sam.
Apparently the Washington Ad-
ministration has not learned of this
yet. We say apparently" because
1T seems worried only about the
Burma Road situation in far off
Asia but does nothing about prevent
ing Japanese shipments of this vital
oil through the Panama Canal. Mexi-
co and Japan are worried for fear
chat it will stop their racket. How to
get cheap and sure method of de-
livering this grabbed oil to the Japs
troubles both of them.
Since two heads are better than
one, Japan and Mexico got theirs
together few weeks ago and re-
vived concession on 100000 acres
of prospective oil bearing lands in
the vicinity of the fabulously rich
Poza RIGA oil fields. This concession
was first made in 1897 but it had
lain dormant until the middle of
last month. Then they pulled it out,
busted it off and told the world that
Mexico no longer was for Mexicans;
luoIOou ~ uOW 10 MOAlCO AOI tuC
Japanese"
While all of this was being done
Mexican New Dealers were busy in
Washington pulling strings to get a
$50, 100000 loan with which to re-
nabilitate and triple track the 1876
mile railroad across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, and to build a pipe
line alongside it. Such facilities
would permit Mexico to transport
to the Mexican Pacific port of Sa-
lima Cruz cheaply and uninterrupt-
eddy all oil she has contracted to de-
liver to Japan.
The idea was excellent but the
money was lacking. So under the
guise of hemisphere defense her
politicians pressed Uncle Sam for a
loan. This pretense required more
than words to give it substance So
Mexico gave it substance by report
ing that it had cancelled the Japan
csc lease. And she further announc-
es that she no longer will sell Japan
scrap iron. Can it be that the oil re-
fineries and other equipment on the
stolen properties are stripped of all
their steel? Or can it be that Mexico s
politicians are willing to forego
possible profits of a few hundred
thousand dollars from the sale of
scrap iron for the prospect of get
ting $50,00O,000 of U. S. taxpayers
money?
These are interesting questions.
But a. major question in connection
with the recent Cardenas profession
OF loving Uncle Sam is whether or
not Mexico yet has cancelled her
contract to deliver 100000 bar
rels of stolen oil to Japan.
