HEALTH CONDITIONS
REPORTED IN STATE
Generally Favorable In
1929 According to the
Health Department

Use of approved statistical
yard sticks" on the health record
of Maryland for 1889 shows that
gains and losses were fairly we'll
balanced and that health condi-
tons throughout the State were
generally favorable.
Provisional figures for births
and deaths during the year an
nounced by DR.. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor Of the State Department of
Health, show that though there
were fewer births than in 1898,
there was an important increase
in the number of babies in each
thousand born alive who survived
the perils of infancy; that there
were slightly fewer deaths from
all causes in all age groups, and
marked decrease in the deaths
from certain diseases = notably,
typhoid fever and pneumonia.
There were nearly $500 more
births than deaths. There were
2S,311 births and 20,S25 deaths re-
ported in Maryland in 1899 in com
parison with 2S,959 births and 20
S57 deaths in 1898. Infant deaths
dropped from 1918 in 1888 to l.
416 in 1899 = S97 white and 519
colored. The births reported in
1889 were divided as follows: -
SIT in Baltimore city; 1874 in
the counties. There were 1O.54S
deaths in Baltimore City and 49,
| PIT in the counties.
The most significant improve
ment indicated in the report was
in the number of survivors in the
youngest group of citizens. In
each thousand babies born alive
in the State during the year
there were so deaths and $50
youngsters who survived the
health hazards of infancy, and
started in on another year. In
1898, in each thousand births
there were Sc infant deaths and
944 survivors.
Two thirds of the deaths report
ed in Maryland last year occur
red among two age groups the
youngest and the oldest. The to-
tai infant deaths = 1,416 - con
stituted over 6 per cent of the
total at all ages and from all
causes. The deaths at the other
end of the scale due to the
degenerative diseases of the mid
die and older age groups account
! oil for 19fe9 deaths. o. 60 per
cent Of the total from all causes.
j Included in this group were the
! following: Heart disease. 1867
deaths; cancer, 2.3S1; nephritis,
2.147: cerebral hemorrhage, LAO
and diabetes 527 deaths. There
were increases in all of these
causes of death except nephritis.
which dropped to 2.147 deaths
from 1926 in 1888.
Outstanding decreases in deaths
from communicable diseases were
shown in those from typhoid fever
which. dropped from 81 deaths in
1898 to IS in 1889. a new low rec
ord for that disease. and in those
from the pneumOnias which drop
ped from 1851 in 1888 to 1918
deaths in 1899.

we are wrong.
jim Pugh, of Montgomery coun-
ty, who just resigned from a nice
lob with the State, is about to
join UP with Brooke Lee, the or
ganization leader in that county.
Jim says: Whats the use of
butting your head against a stone
wall" Mr.. Pugh led the O'Conor
group in Montgomery County in
behalf of the Governor, built up
a nice organization which he ex-
pected to keep going, anticipating
lots of patronage, but as frequent
ly happens, the original boys are
given the air, or possibly one or
two taken care of and the rest, OF
the gravy goes to the erstwhile
foe which in this case was the
organization group. One of the
reasons Mr. Pugh resigned from
his $5,000-a-year job was because
his constituents were confronting
him with his appointment and
asking why they weren't taken
care Of Of course he felt his
resignation would be smart bust
ness in the long run as we'll.
In fairness to Governor O'Conol
it should be pointed out that he
has very few jobs to give, but the
question is open to argument
among Democratic politicos as tC
who should get what there is
| the remnants of the old Ritchie
organizations or the newer O'Con
or group. 1t is a political custom
to have all patronage go through
the local organization, but the late

Reports are that the politicos
on the Eastern Shore will an
nounce in a group, when they get
together - if they do. Announce
ment of the whole Eastern Shore
for either Senator Radcliffe or
Howard Bruce would be very
tempting to those politicians who
expect to jump on the band
wagon.
Last Monday by the time you
read this, it may be an old story,
as the Rowing Reporter has to
compete with daily newspapers
State Comptroller J. Willard
Tawel5 called a meeting of the
leaders from each county to de-
eide whom to back for Congress
and whether to back Radcliffe or
Bruce for the Senate The posi-
bilitv that the leaders of all the
counties may get together is
rather remote and should that
happen. rebels will rise to deny
that their State Senator repre-
sents the county, or to state that
this or that man has no author
ity to speak for the county.
State Senator Tom Johnson is
being given serious consideration
as a candidate for Congress. Tom
is Young. makes nice speech
and is easy on the eyes as far as
women are concerned. You read
ers may think being gOod-looking
has nothing to do with getting
elected to Congress, but don't for
get our own handsome governor
might not have just squeezed
through had he had the waist
line of. say, Hon. Harry w. Nice
When the leaders get together
on man, his personal appearance
is of first consideration. Of course
we are not inferring that Mr.
johnson has only good looks; he
has been States Attorney in his
home county and is reported to be
an able lowyer.

America Warned

Dr.. Barr Says Delay in
Industry Is Less
In Importance

America has less fear from
bottlenecks in industry than from
bottlenecks in human will, DR..
Stringfellow Barr, president of st.
Johns College, Annapolis, declared
yesterday prior to being tapped
for membership in Omicron Delta
Kappa, honorary leadership fratern-
ity. at the University of Maryland.
Taking the subject, Leadership"
as his theme, DR.. Barr declared
America cannot be defended by
men who do not know anything
worth fighting for.
Leadership, he continued, cannot
be determined in terms of popular
itv contests nor good looks, but must
be considered as the capacity to
discover and discuss such abstract
ideas as freedom, responsibility, self
discipline and Self-gOvernment.
"The only leadership of ultimate
Importance is that eXemplified by
men who appeal to ideals and
principles and can identify them so
clearly that others will follow" he
said.
DR.. Barr received recognition by
the group for outstanding State
leadership. 1t is the custom OF the
fraternity to make awards to out
standing figures twice annually, once
in the fall to some Maryland leader.
and in the spring to a leader OF
national importance.
Other well-knoWn figures who
have been tapped for membership
include President Roosevelt, Gov
O'Connor of Maryland, Undersecre-
tary of State Welles and j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
During yesterdays ceremonies.
four student leaders also were
tapped for membership in the Or
ganization. They are Ofville Shiry
editor of the Diamondback, campus
newspaper; All Fisher, president OF
Pi Delta Epsilon, Journalistic fra
ternity; William Holbrook, presi-
dent of the junior class, and Jerry
Prentice, business manager OF the
Terrapin, university yearbook.

Edward Ashley. young Austria
Liam actor who makes his Holly
wood screen debut in Pride and

the Temple theater, broke into the
movies in an odd way. He was a
daredevil auto race driver in Aus

mountain climb speed test he was
photographed for the newsreels. An
Australian producer saw him and
started Ashley on a motion picture
career. Ashley went TO England to
gain further stage and screen ex-
perience before coming to Holly

year.

submit-they did not call witness.
At the close of Collick's trial, the
court took the case under considera-
ton and reserved their decision. A re-
cess was ordered until Wednesday
when Manuel was carried before the
court.
The evidence against Manual was
practically the same as against Col
lick, although Mrs. Pilchard failed to
identify Collick's company. There was
evidence, however, of a concerted plan
between the two to kill, rape, and rob,
and Manual apparently is jointly gull

The defense stated their intention
to put on five or six witnesses for
Manual, and at this writing the trial
was expected to be concluded on
Thursday at noon.
