building up the supply system in thinly settled areas where fluid milk demand has been slight, and properly forecasting requirements for thick!y populated areas. With out the well organized U. S. milk distributing system 1t is doubtful if fresh milk could have been So readily supplied.
 The army ration, which means food provided for one man for one day specifies among other thingi 8 oz. of fresh milk, oz. of butter 1 oz. of evaporated milk and i-4 oz. of cheese.
 In the Revolutionary War tho ration called for a pint of milk per soldier per day-the only time fresh milk even appeared on the ration until the present. It is doubtful however, if Washington's soldier ever got milk unless they surrep' titiously mixed cows near the bivouacs.
 Army officials believe fresh milk provides health-giving and body building values of the highest order It. Col. Paul P. Logan, Subsistence Oflce, War Department, recently said:
 "All of us in subsistence work are acutely aware of the value of milk aud dairy products in the ration. We know that milk solids are ir- dispensable and that milk Is the nearest perfect food"

OFFICER HUNTS HORSE
THIEF IN RADIO CAR

Out in the west when a man steals
a horse, a deputy or an officer gives
chase on another horse. But in Balti-
more county they do it another way.
On Tuesday afternoon last, Officer
Martin Chenowith, of Towson, Md,
was notified Of horse being taken
from the stable of Mr.. O'Donnell Lee
of near Brooklandville.
The policeman drove his radio car
in the vicinity of the Lee estate and
began to trace the horse. The trail
led out the Falls road to Seminary
avenue and then north on the Mays
Chapel road. Near the Timonium
road black and white horse emerged
carrying young lad who had large
piece of canvas on the horse.
The rider and his mount began to
gallop down the road and the officer
gave chase in the radio vehicle. AS
there is a large fence on each side
of the road the rider could not cut a.
cross the field. But despite orders
to stop, the youth kept his mount go
ing.
About hundred yards from Semi
nary avenue the patrolman drove his
car past the horse and rider, parked
his machine suddenly, jumped from
the car and grabbed the horse by the
bride.
The youth, John w. Brown, 16, of
Baltimore, was brought to the Tow
son station house but no charges were
placed against him by Mr.. Lee, but
the boy must keep off of the Lee
property.

sociological examination was passed
by the legislature in the session of
1910. This legislation, which does
not call for waiting period between
the issuing of the license and the
marriage ceremony, took the place of
a requirement of 1918 that both par
ties present to the clerk issuing the
marriage affadavits that they had no
venereal disease. Under the new
law, sociological tests must be per-
formed within thirty days prior to the
marriage by laboratory connected
with the state health department,
with a laboratory connected with
other departments of health, or one
approved by the state health commits
sioner.

New Requisites
For Owners OF
Potato Fields

A number of new requirements for
owners of potato fields entered for
certification were adopted at meet
ing of the Maryland Seed Certifica-
ton Board on April z, it is announced
by DR.. R. A. Jehle, State Plant Pa
biologist. Members of the Board felt
the action necessary in view of the
recent introduction of new seed-borne
ring rot disease into the United
States.
DR.. Jehle points out that symptoms
of the disease often occur so late they
may not be detected by field and bin
inspections. Under conditions favor
able for it's development ring rot
may cause a loss of almost the entire
potato crop.
According to the new requirements,
after January 1, 1912, potato fields
will not be inspected for certification
unless they are grown from Maryland
seed produced in a tuber unit plot or
from certified seed from other states
or countries produced by growers
whose seed stock has been approved
for certified seed production by the
Maryland Seed Certification Board.
DIR. Jehle says this means that if
a Maryland potato grower intends to
use his own seed for planting fields
in which he intends to grow certified
seed in 1912, he must plant tuber
unit seed plot this year. This tuber
unit field must be large enough to
produce sufficient seed to plant all of
the fields which he plans to enter for
certification in 1912.
For further information on tuber
unit planting consult your county a.
gent or DR.. Jehle, in care of the Uni
versity of Maryland, College Park,
Md.

STAFFORD CELEBRATES
METERS REMOVAL

Seaford merchants flew flags out
side their stores Wednesday last.
The occasion was the discontin-
uance of parking meters on High
street and on certain cross streets,
following completion of six-month
trial at midnight on Tuesday. Source
of steady objection by storekeepers
who claimed they injured trade, the
parking meters were covered with
hoods by order of City Council, to
prevent motorists from feeding the
kitty"
Under agreement with the firm
which installed the meters on a per-
centage basis, the city was unable to
remove the meters until the six
months trial ended, despite, an anti
meter majority in Council following
the March election.
No one attempted to lift the hoods
to "feed the kitty" Wednesday.

PRE-MARITAL TESTS
SHOW MUCH DISEASE

A report covering the first five
months in which Virginia's law re-
quiring pre-marital tests has been
operative, discloses evidence of syphi-
lis in ct per cent of the 1928 whites
and Is per cent of the 1924 Negroes
examined. These figures were sub
stantiated by recheck test.
From these figures the state de-
partment of health believes that
white persons who knew they had
syphilis were postponing marriage or
taking treatment before examination.
