Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.-The theory
that farm youth are healthier than
city children may hold true gen.
orally, but DR.. R. H. Riley, director
of Maryland's State Department of
Health, made this surprising report
yesterday:
I'm a comparative study made
some time ago of the health of
school children in two widely sep
arated district-one in an agricul-
tural community and the other in
an industrial one-a large percent
age of the children from the farm
ing sections we're found to show
marked signs of malnutrition, while
those from the industrial area were
in much better shape physically"
Although milk, fruits and fresh
vegetables were readily available in
the farming sections, DR.. Riley said,
''the children had been allowed to
indulge their preference for less ia
miliar and less nourishing foods"

.0'Conor Backs
Bill TO Control
Fireworks Use
Declares Safety
Requires Passage
OfLegisIotion
By III Associated Press.

DS u z hSoONldLtu ELCoos
ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 10.-Propo-
nents of the controversial fireworks
control bill had the support Of
the State administration behind
them today.
Gov. O'Conor announced yester-
day his support of the measure
and said he hoped it would receive
"the approval of both houses and
become a part of our Maryland
law"
The bill would regulate use of
fireworks in Maryland. A similar
measure was defeated by one vote
in the 1899 Legislature.
Gov. O'Conor said he favored the
bill because it is a measure that
has such a direct bearing on the
lives, safety and happiness of so
many of our people and particularly
of our younger generation. who
must look to us to safeguard and
protect them"
FavOrs Safeguards.
II would definitely like to see
proper safeguards thus written into
our statutes TO stop as far as is
humanity possible the distressing
accidents and deaths that heretofore
have added their note of tragedy
to our annual celebrations of Inde-
pendence Day" Gov. O'Conor said.
To those who contended passage
| OF the bill would mean loss of Jobs
for fireworks factory workers. Gov.
OConor said, The data which has
been assembled from authoritative
sources indicates that. under present
circumstances, the loss would not
be serious one"
Fortunately" he added, Mary
landers have always shown them
selves ready to do the things that
were for the best interests of the
! people as whole, even though
there might be entailed some sacri-
flee to portions of our citizeny.
Accident Record Cited.
"The record of accidents, Of
deaths, of young people, condemned
TO blindness for their entire lives
because of the use of fireworks, so
far overbalanceS any questions of
employment to few of our people
that there can be no questions as to
which deserve the consideration"
| The Governor said he had re
Trained purpOsedly' from committing
the administration on the fireworks
bill until the members of the AS
Sembly had an opportunity to get a
reaction regarding it from the peo-
pie Of Our State"
Now that the session is nearing
the halfway mark, however" he
added, Il believe that sufficient time
has elapsed TO permit expression
from our people on this matter"

on questions generally regarded as
controversial, the other side should
| be presented, too"
Other questions brought state
ments from DR.. Ballou that he did
not believe compulsory military
training had place in the public
schools, and that District school
teachers are free to inform their
pupils about Socialism, Communism
and other "isms," but not to advo-
cate them.
At the outset of his address. Mr..
Russell said he did not believe there
was complete democracy anywhere.
"I think of it as something we are
trying to get, not as something we
have" he added. 1T is always more
or less incomplete.
He listed the fundamentals OF
| democracy as:
81. Equal distribution of ultimate
power
20. That in all matters in which a
common decision is not necessary
| the rights of minorities should be
respected"
Can't Be Defended by Arms.
Declaring that the present de-
fense of democracy by war is un-
avoidable," he said that in the long
run democracy cannot be defended
by force of arms, but by causing
people to- love democracy and to be
able to make it work.
The opposite dangers to democ-
racy of anarchy and dictatorship
can be avoided only by combining
"a certain self-reliance and belief in
your own opinion with an equal re-
spect for the opinions of Others he
said.
I'm a democracy" he continued,
"a man must be prepared to stand
up for his own opinion but also to
submit to the majority if he is in
the minority
Pointing out that every opinion
now generally accepted as correct
once was held by only small mi
nority, he said he did not believe
that the part of democracy lnvolv-
ing respect for minority opinions rs
so we'll understood in this country as
are other parts"
Decrying any tendency to require
all school teachers to agree with
opinions of the majority, he said
such a practice would lead to perse-
cution and the point where no new
idea can ever be promulgated"
Schools should produce in their
pupils "the power to judge in po-
litical affairs" and a resistance to
eloquence." he added, remarking
that modern advertising had given
experimental verification of the
irrationality of mankind and its
susceptibility to emotional appeals" ="
Throughout his address, Mr.. Rus
sell stressed the Importance of the
individual and his rights, declaring
that opponents of democracy are
those who would use individuals as
means to totalitarianism.
The thing you have got to re-
member" Mr.. Russell concluded, "is
that mass hysteria is the real enemy
of democracy, and that any person
who tries to promote mass hysteria
Is to be looked upon with suspicion" "
