House Group 10 Act
Tomorrow on Police
Paw Increase Bill
Revision of Small Loan
Low to Be Debated
By District Committee

Fate of bill providing sub
stantial pay increases for police and
firemen will be determined by the
House District Committee at
meeting at 10 am. tomorrow.
Later in the day, the House
itself-observing the first District
day in a month-will debate a bill
to revise the law to permit small
loan companies to charge an in
terest rate of per cent a month
on the unpaid balances of loans up
to $500. The present law limits
small loans to 5000 and allows a
maximum interest rate of l per cent
a month.
The measure to increase the pay
of police and firemen will be the
special order of business at the
committee meeting. 1t has been
estimated the higher pay scale pro-
posed, together with increased pen
sions, would add about $780, 900 a
year to the local budget.
Commissioners File Objection.
The Commissioners already have
filed with the committee an adverse
report on the bill. In addition,
objection to its approval has been
made by Rufus S. Lusk, president
of the Washington Taxpayers As

of his home.

and stringing thread spools into
necklaces and bracelets.
Yesterday she told followers of
the Junior Star how she got her
necklace idea as she searched
through her mothers darning bas-
ket one day. This summer, she
said, she hopes to interest COM

by the time he is 26 his salary has
been automatically raised to $4,000.
To earn this increase requires no
special ability. What business or

Children Need Physical
Check-Up Before School
State Ruling Requires Those En-
tering Must Be Vaccinated
Against Smallpox

An army of yougsters-nearly
10000 strong-will take to the high
ways and byways of Maryland when
the schools open in the fall and the
boys and girls who have reached school
age this year start their training in
the three RS.
Parents of these youngsters are re-
minded by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, of
certain things that should be attended
to, and of one, in particular, that must
be done, before the youngsters may
be received at any public school in the
State.
That one "must" is vaccination
against smallpox, which is compulsory
in Maryland. Of this requirement and
of other things that should be done,
DR.. Riley said:
''In accordance with our State law,
a child must be vaccinated against
smallpox before he or she may be en-
rolled at any public school in Mary
land. Largely through the observance
of this law, the State has been kept
comparatively free from smallpox
we have not had case of that disease
for over ten years-but smallpox is
widely prevalent in other parts of the
country; is highly contagious and the
only way to be protected against it is
by vaccination.
"Diphtheria is just as prevalent as
smallpox, and just as dangerous for
the child who has not been protected
against it. But, fortunately, through
the use of toxoid, a child can be pro-
tected against diphtheria as readily as
against smallpox by vaccination. So,
we can, and do, urge every mother
whose child has not been protected
against this disease to have it done, at
once.
Every child should have a COM
plete check-up some time before start
ing in at school so that conditions
that need correction may be attended
to and the children can enter school
free from handicaps that might cause
i'll health later on, if neglected now
Bad tonsils, teeth that need attention,
defects of vision and Of hearing, and
bad eating habits are among the
things that are very likely to affect
the health if they are neglected.
"You probably have noticed how
many of the army and navy draftees
have had to be rejected because they
could not measure up to the physical
requirements. Many of these condi-
tions could have been avoided if they
had been discovered and taken care of
when the boys started to school, just
as your children are doing now.
Health conferences for the exami-
nation of children who will enter
school this fall have been held in all of
the counties and the records show that
they have been we'll attended. In con-
HecCloH Will Ihe eAdlhlIldIloHS, Gill;
les have been held for vaccination
against smallpox and protection
against diphtheria for the children
for whom these services have been
neglected. If your child has not had
the benefits of these safeguards, don't
wait until the schools open, take him
or her to your doctor or the nearest
health officer and have them attended
to now without further delay"
