Auto Fatalities For October Are
Below Average

Forty-eight persons were killed
in traffic accidents in Maryland dur
ing October, twenty per cent less
than in the previous month and thir-
teen per cent less than in October of
last year.
Up to November first, ATT persons
had been killed in the State this year,
an increase of 1876 per cent over the
same period last year. Traffic, how
ever, has increased in about the same
proportion.

Hunters Cautioned
Against Tularemia
Rabbit Fever Transmitted
Through Contact With In
fected Animal

Beware that the open season fol
wild rabbits does not also become the
open season for tularemia," Dr.. R. II
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, warns all who come
in contact with the cottontails! IRE
member he said chat this serious
disease, which is widely known as
rabbit fever, is usually transmitted
to human beings through contact
with infected wild rabbits, or with the
infected insects that spread it from
one animal to another.
Since November Is, when the hunt
ing season began in most counties of
Maryland, the rabbit has given pleas
ure and profit to hunters, market
men, and the harrassed housewife
who tries to give her family varied
menu. However, Dr. Riley emphasized
the fact that this enjoyment is not
safe unless proper precautions are
taken against rabbit fever.
''To begin WITH" he said, at is not
only good craftsmanship but also
good Judgment to shoot only the
frisky rabbit that can run away from
you, for dull and sluggish rabbit
without the energy to run is very
likely to be a sick one that will give
tularemia to anybody who handles
him.
"Once the rabbit has been shot OF
trapped all who handle the game
hunters, market men, and those who
prepare the meat for the table, should
make every effort to avoid possible
infection. True, not all animals are
infected; for only about one per cent
of the wild ones are believed to be
sources of the disease, and so fan
those bred in sanitary rabbitries-
the only kind that can be sold legally
in Baltimore City-have been founC
to be free from the infection. How.
ever, it is safest to assume that every
rabbit is a source Of danger, and tt
take certain necessary precautions:
"Do not handle the animal or the
uncooked meat with your bare hands
Use rubber gloves.
'Be especially careful to avoid alb
sorbing any of the infectious materia
if there is any cut or scratch, how
ever small, on your hand
"Keep your hands away from youl
face, mouth and eyes; wash youl
hands thoroughly as soon as you have
finished preparing the game for the
market or for home use.

Where Hollywood Comes In

w JANUARY | of this year, the Signal
Corps vaults at Fort Monmouth held about
200 short training pictures on both 35-mm.
and l6-mm. film. They have been pro-
duced by the Corps over a seven-year period
With Hollywood's help, there will be more
than 400 by the end of this year. BY the end
of 1912 there will be at least 800.
Behind this upsurge is an inspiring story
of Hollywood's contribution to the cause of
national defense. 1t represents an annual
donation of more than $5OOO,OOO worth of
expert labor and equipment. 1t includes the
services of top-fiight producers, directors,
writers, Cameramen actors, actresses and
technicians. 1t is a part of the motion picture
industry's voluntary agreement to produce
training films on nonproht basis.

quiet gentleman registered at Hollywood
hotel and was met by committee of screen

General Staff and he was there to discuss
somewhat nebulous idea for training films.
Before his departure he had arranged to send
at least one Signal Corps officer to Hollywood
annually to study the technology of pictures,
and the studios had agreed to throw open all
their trade secrets.
Each year since then Army men in multi
have worked unobtrusively in the picture
plants progressing through all departments.
AS they graduated they formed the nucleus
of the Corps training film division and began
making pictures independently of the studios.
Then, last year, with the enactment of
the Selective Service Act, it became apparent
that production would have to be speeded
up The studios stepped into the emergency.

Leaiy green vegetables are de- liclouS and valuable foods, contain Ing iron, vitamin A and some cal- euim, nutrients absolutely needed for any good diet, The thinner and greener the leaves, tho richer they are in Iron and vitamin A.
 Too many of us fail to use some of the less familiar greens, now abundant and seasonal, such aS sor- rel or sauer grass, mustard greens and cultivated or wild dandelions.
 Sorrel or sauer grass Is produced all over the world, being especially popular In European countries. However, 1t is cultivated only to a limited extent In this country. It Is delicious when cooked as Q green vegetable and combined with spin ach, Also good served in salad or soup.
 EAT DANDELIoNS
 Mustard green s another eX- cellent and comparatively neglected edible. It Is at its best when boiled, cut fine and served with butter or cream. The addition of a ham bone  when cooking mustard greens will improve the flavor Of the dish.
 Heavy shipments of outdoor dan delions are arriving from farms. Their leaves are fresh and inviting. These cultivated dandelion greens have longer and more tender leaves with much milder flavor than the variety you find growing wild along the country roadside. When buy ing, choose those with brittle un- wilted leaves that are slightly blanched. Avoid any showing blos- soms developed beyond miniature bud stage, or any that have flabby yellow leaves.
 Field salad Is another fresh green that we hear very little about. In both appearance and taste 1t somewhat resembles sauer grass. Its succulent leaves are separate, slen- der ovals about three inches long

REMEDIES FOR PAINFUL STIFF
 SHOULDER


 Diathermy to the lame shoulder for half an hour or so every day for the first two weeks, combined with complete rest of the shoulder (arm in sling with palm on oppo- site shoulder or breast), will bring great relief to the pain and a com- plete cure in some cases of acute subacromial or sub-deltoid bursitis, painful stiff shoulder, or peri-arth- ritis, as 1t is sometimes called.
 If medical diacnermy is not avaii- able the next best thing is ordinary external heat--either baking in hot air or application of radiant heat by means of an infra.red lamp, or even application of cloths wrung out of hot water and changed ev- every few minutes.
 A comparatively slight strain may initiate bursitiS, such as painting @ ceiling, polishing the car, throwing a ball. The pain is 80 agonzing ia the first week or two that the vic- tim is apt to assume it is "neurltis" (though in fact pain Is usually not to intense in neuritis) or "rheuma- tisin". Aside from pain killers which benumb pain in any circum- stance, remedies purporting to be good for neuritis or rheumatism have no effect on bursitis.
 A correspondent suffered at in- tervals what he thought was "rheu- matism" of the shoulder (whatever that may be) and the slightest pressure on a point under the tip of the shoulder gave him excruciat- ing pain which seemed to extend to the arm, neck and side of chest. He could not lift his arm without assistance. The shoulder was out of commission. Finally he consulted Q physician who diagnosed bursitis X-ray negative showed the bursa calcihed. With @ fine needle the physician injected @ fluid into the bursa. From that moment improve ment was continuous. Tn three days the shoulder could be moved almost to full normal range.
