ORDER OF
PUBLICATION

The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a divorce a vincatlo mGtri-
nsonii by the plaintiff, Margaret
Ellen Burgess, from the defend
ant, Edward David Burgess.
The bill in substance states that
the plaintiff. Margaret Ellen Bur-
CESS, was married to the defend
ant, Edward David Burgess, in
the month of December, 1886 at
Annapolis, Anne Arundel County,
Maryland by a Minister of the
Gospel; that there has been one
child, Ellen May Burgess, one year
old, born as a result of the mar
riage, who is now and always has
been in the care and custody of
her mother; that after the plain
tiff and the defendant were mar
ried they lived together as hus-
band and wife until early Novem-
Der, 1889, at which time the de-
PENDANT, without any just cause
or reason, abandoned and deserted
the plaintiff and declared his in
tention to live with her no longer,
and that such abandonment has
continued uninterruptedly since
said date and is deliberate and
final and the separation of the
parties is beyond any reasonable
expectation of a reconciliation
that the conduct of the plaintiff
has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, and that she
has never given the defendant
any just cause or reason to desert
and abandon her, but, on the con-
trary, has behaved herself as a
faithful, chaste and affectionate
wife; that the plaintiff is a resi-
dent of Montgomery County,
Maryland, and has resided contin-
uously in said County and State
for more than two years preceding
the filing of this suit; and the de-
PENDANT is a nonresident of the
State of Maryland residing at
1725 Spruce Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
The bill then prays that the
plaintiff may be divorced a vin-
cstLo n,atrImo1ii from the defend
ant; that the plaintiff may be
awarded the care and custody of
the infant child, Ellen Mary Bur
CESS, and for such other and fur
Their relief as the plaintiffs case
may require.
It is thereupon, this 18th day
of June, 1941, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County, as
a Court Of Equity, ordered that

this order to be inserted in some

ject and substance of this Bill of
Complaint, warning him to ap-
pear in this Court, in person or

day of August, next, to show
cause, if any he has, why a de-
cree ought not to be passed as
prayed.

Drowning In America
Every 30 Minutes This
Summer, Say Experts

Every 80 minutes this summer
someone in America will drown.
When autumn winds finally coax
water enthusiasts back from beach,
river and lake to warmer and safer
pursuits, the nation will count no
less than 5000 dead from drown
ing, most if not all of them sacri-
feed unnecessarily in the name of
relief and recreation.
This unpleasant but timely word
comes from the National Conser-
walton Bureau, accident prevention
division of the Association of
Casualty and Surety Executives,
whose estimates are based on past
records.
At least rs per cent of the fatal
tiles from drowning this summer,
the bureaus safety doctors admit,
will occur to boys and girls be-
tween the ages of 13 and 10, in
elusive, and six out of every seven
will be boy or man - token,
no doubt, of the males incurable
desire to display his imaginary
prowess before the fair sex. But
it need not happen, say the acct
dent prevention specialists.
"Safe practices can be followed"
they assert, "when swimming or
using small boats and canoes which
will reduce the possibility of
drowning to a minimum without
interfering in any way with the
pleasure which may be gained
from water sports. For example,
danger of cramps may be largely
eliminated if you wait not less
than one hour after eating before
going in the water; also do not
swim when overheated or remain
in the water when chilled or ex-
hausted.
"More than 200 persons are
killed each year year in diving ac-
cidents. Broken necks and backs
and shattered skulls are the penal
ty for failure to know the depth
of the water when diving. Know
the depth of the water and be sure
there are no submerged logs or
rocks before diving. Don't indulge
in water sports unless a compe-
tent swimmer is present in case of
emergency. Non-swimmers or
poor swimmers can't save
drowning perosn.
"Don't attempt swimming feats
that are beyond your strength.
When you swim out into deep
water, allow plenty of reserve
strength so that you can return
safely. Don't attempt long-dis-
lance swims unless you are ac-
companied by a boat, and don't
swim at all if you have bad heart
or other physical deficiency that
may endanger your life.
"When using small boats and
canoes, step or sit along the center
line of the keel, and don't rock the
boat! If your boat does tip over,
don't try to swim to shore unless
sure you can cover the distance
easily. Your boat has enough
buoyancy to support all its occu-
pants in the water until help ar
rives. The best way to rescue an
other swimmer is by pulling him
along by the hair or grasping him
under the armpit and swimming in
on your back"
