41,571 CHILDREN
EXAMINED In 1910
Health Dept. Striving to
Make School COndi-
tiOnS Safe

Better health for every child
now enrolled in Maryland's public
schools is," according to DR.. R. H.
Riley, director of the State Depart
ment of Health, the goal toward
which the school, the parents and
the health authorities should
strive"
When the school year started the
Department of Education and the
State Department of Health resum-
ed the health services which have
for many years been a part of the
regular school program. DIR. Riley
says that, besides making the
school safe and healthful environ
ment for its pupils, educational and
health authorities must concern
themselves with the physical con-
dition of every child under their
care.
During 1910, the County Health
Offlcers examined total of 41,571
children and large number have
already been examined this year.
The usual plan calls for an annual
examination of the younger chill
dren in order to detect unfavorable
conditions before they have pro-
gressed too far, and for rechecks
of older children whenever the
examiner believes it necessary or
if requested by the teacher.
Besides general health and nu-
triton, the examination places
particular emphasis on the nose,
throat, teeth, chest, vision and
hearing. Parents are always well
come at these examinations; and,
whether present or not, they are
urged to take the children to their
family physicians for prompt at
tention to any weakness or defects
revealed. The combined efforts of
Parent-Teacher Associations, coun-
ty health departments, and local
service clubs furnish needed medi-
cal care to children whose families
cannot pay for private care. Thru
the school dental clinics, free or
low-cost dental care is provided
for children unable to pay for pri-
vate care.
To reduce to minimum the
spread of communicable diseases
from child to child, health Off
GERS and public health nurses will
upon the request of the school au-
thorities, make routine inspections
of children who have been exposed
to such diseases and of those show
ing symptoms of measles, mumps,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, skin in
fections and other diseases that
they could transmit to their class
mates. Children who are i'll and
those who would be a possible men
ace to others are kept out of school
until the danger is past. Parents
are asked to keep infected chill
dren from all contacts with other
children.

DELAWARE WOMAN AND
TWO CHILDREN SLAIN

A 3O-year-old mther and her two
small children were killed with an
axe in their five-room bungalow near
GLASGOW, Del, about five miles east
of Elkton, last Sunday night.
They were: Mrs. Ethel Webb, Clar
ence Webb, Jr., and Judith Webb, z
months.
Their skulls were crushed and, their
heads hacked from axe blows.
Within an hour after the bodies
were discovered at z o'clock Monday
morning police of the entire Atlantic
Seaboard were searching for Clarence
Webb, ST., %, who for the past four
months has operated a 10O-acre poul-
try farm along the GLASGOW road,
three quarter of a mile east of that
village.
The babies were found by H. S.
Palmer, Webb's employer who went
to the Webb home about z o'clock
Monday morning when the poultry
farmer failed to put in an appear
ance.
The mothers body was found prop
ped against a closet door in a bed
room. Her forehead had been struck
with the sharp end of the axe.
The baby, Judith, lay in her crib
in the same room. One blow on the
forehead had killed her. Her nursing
bottle was still firmly gripped in her
hands.
The son was killed in the adjoining
living room as he apparently made
frantic attempt to escape. His skull
and forehead had been hacked.
Clarence Webb, who was suspected
of being the murderer, when over
taken in his automobile along the
Delaware highway, Tuesday morning,
by Delaware police, pulled to the side
of the road, thrust shotgun against
his abdomen and pulled the trigger.
He died a few hours later in a Will
mington hospital.
Jealousy is alleged to have result
ed in the triple crime.

23OO VOLTAGE DOES NOT
EFFECT SOMERSET MAN

A heavy gust of wind accompanied
thunder storm which struck Prin-
cess Anne last week and caused con-
siderable damage.
The wind of gale force for few
moments, shattered large plate
glass in the show window of the Mart
Mems Shop and broke the Public Ser
vice power lines in front of the Wash
ington Hotel.
The wires, which were reported to
be carrying $500 volts, fell on sew
eral cars parked along side the curb
in front of the hotel and the full
force of the electricity passed thru
Deputy County Treasurer r. Mark
Whites Chevrolet when the wire fell
across the cars bumper.
Flashing flames leaped from all
parts of the vehicle and one rear tire
was blown flat as the juice burned
it's way through the tires to the
ground.
The most remarkable circumstance
was that Mr.. Howard Galloway, well
known East Princess Anne farmer,
on seeing the car lin flames ran to
the wire, picked it up and threw it to
the sidewalk. He was not affected
in any way by his daring deed. It
can only be supposed that at the in
slant he had the wire in his hand the
electricity was being short circuited
through the car. The fact is that as
soon as he dropped the wire there
was enough current passing through
it to scorch several small holes in
the side walk.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
Pillow HORSE GOES ON
RAMPAGE IN BALTIC c.

Last week, Officers Schloor and
Schwartz, of the Baltimore County
force were dispatched to investigate
what turned out to be one OF the
strangest accidents ever recorded IN
the County.
The officers received call to go to
the home of John O'Mara, at 1920
Benson Avenue, Violetville, to investi
gate an accident. Immediately after
receiving the call the officers sped
on their way.
Upon arriving at the O'Mara home,
Officers Schloor and Schwartz found
(of all things) that two men had been
injured by a horse who had run wild
while hitched to a pillow in field I'M
mediately behind the O'Mara home.
The injured men were Joseph
O'Mara and William Armiger, of Lin
thicum Heights. Both men were TAX
en- to st. Agnes Hospital and treated
for cuts and bruises.
When Officers Schloor and
Schwartz heard how the men had
been injured, they thought something
was amiss and after it was explained
they were certain of it.
Here the way the accident occur
red, as told by John O'Mara.
He stated that he had just pur-
chased new pillow horse and that he
had decided to try it out. He said
that he hitched the horse to a pillow
and took it to a field back of the
house. His father and Armiger went
along to watch the performance.
Everything went along fine for a
few minutes, but suddenly the horse
bolted, ran wild, knocked Armiger
down and the pillow ran over his left
leg, inflicting a deep cash.
O'Mara said that his father tried
to stop the horse by grabbing the
rein, but that the horse continued on
dragging him for several yards, be-
fore he was able to free himself.
After a short time the horse was
captured. O'Mara was undecided
whether or not he would keep the
horse.
