SAFETY MOVING PICTURES
AVAILABLE

In the promotion of Childhood
and Traffic Safety, an interesting
program of sound moving pictures
has been made available to schools
and civic organizations by the Auto
mobile Club of Maryland.
ION Guard for Safety, the sound
moving picture program, includes
everything necessary for putting on
a highly interesting and instructive
program. The subjects offered were
selected for their educational and
entertainment value, and wherever
shown have won unanimous approx
al, according to announcement by
Walker Moffet, Jr., Resident Mana
ger of the Bel Air Branch of the
Automobile Club of Maryland.
Except for war news and national
politics there is probably no subject
occupying more columns of news
paper space than that of safety. The
safety program has been one of the
Clubs principal activities since it
was founded in 1901. 1t includes the
furnishings of safety lessons, post
ers, etc., to all schools,-public, pri-
vate, parochial, regardless of race
or creed; organizing and equipping
the School Boy Safety Patrols,
which every year protect thousands
of school children throughout the
State; and the Bicycle Safety Club,
which teaches the Rules of the Road
and principles of Safety to all BIZ
cycle riders, young and old. No
charge whatsoever is made by the
Club for the material and equip
ment furnished in the promotion of
Safety. The Club also encourages
all efforts directed toward greater
traffic safety, both for motorists
and pedestrians.
Two programs are available: the
first telling the story of school Boy
Safety Patrols, in technicolor, and
including an Animated Terrytown
and Bicycling with Complete SAT-
ety.. 1t requires 81 minutes for a
showing. The second program Of
fers films on various phases of SAT-
ETY. work, the proper driving tech
nique, and scientific road building
1t runs for 80 minutes.
Four complete projection units
are in constant operation through
out the State, working out of the
main Office in Baltimore and the
seven branches. Unit Number Three
will be available in Cecil County
between the 18th and end of each
month. Requests for bookings
should be made to Mr.. Moffet at the
Bel Air Branch of the Automobile
Club of Maryland.

KENTUCKY SCHOOL BUS
RULING

The school bus situation came to
the forefront in Kentucky again re-
Gently when Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral w. Owen Keller ruled, on Feb
ruary 9Th, that public school buses
could be used to transport children
only to and from school or school
atheletic teams to and from regu-
larly scheduled athletic contests.
The ruling was made at the request
of Martin Roberts, Henderson Coun-
ty School Superintendent.
Assistant Attorney General KeIl-
er said there have been wholesale
violations of the Kentucky law by
the transport of WPA workers, par
ents of school children, and employ
ees of board of education in the pub
lie school buses. He gave the opin-
ion that only the children and the
athletic teams were eligible for
transportation under existing stat
utes. and that, in the case of the
athletic teams, expenses must come
out of game receipts.

INSURANCE CLAIMS MUST BE
PAID

To All Insurance Companies:
1t has been called to the attention
Of the Insurance Commissioner that
certain companies haye refused to
pay valid claims where the amounts
were SO small that litigation would
not be justified. The Commissioner
regards such practise very SER
iously. If it is proven that any COM
pany doing business in Maryland
makes a practise of avoiding the
payments of just claims solely be-
cause the amounts involved are SO
small as to render the possibility
of suit remote, the Insurance Com
missioner will consider that such
practice be sufficient ground for the
suspension or revocation of license
of the company involved.
The Commissioner requests that
any policyholder who feels that his
claim is rejected solely because of
smallness of the amount involved
to notify the Insurance Department,
and the matter will be investigated.

CHEST CLINICS HELD In stain

Three hundred and twenty-five
free chest clinics were held thru
out the counties of Maryland during
the year of 1910, it was revealed
today by the Maryland tuberculosis
| Association.
During the year the total of $3.50
patients we're examined at these
diagnostic clinics and 1859 chest
x-rays were taken. OF the total K
rays, 954 showed positive tubercu-
losis, 144 were suspicious and 1,461
revealed no tuberculosis.
OF the total number of patients
examined, sci were diagnosed as
having active tuberculosis, 1892
patients had chronic or inactive tu-
berculosis, while 1928 were suspects
and 1859 were negative. Two hum
bred and eighty-five patients were
found to have active tuberculosis on
their first visit to the clinic. OF
these, rs had far advanced tubercu-
losis, 101 showed moderately active
tuberculosis, while 100. were discov-
cred in the early stage.
These clinics are financed by the
sale of Christmas Seals and are OPP
Grated by the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association in cooperation with
the State Department of Health and
each county, but two, have at least
one clinic per month.
Commenting on the report of Mr..
William B. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector of the Maryland Tuberculosis
Association said, "Diagnostic clinics
are the backbone of tuberculosis
control Through these, we are find
ing the active case which Is spread
ing infection throughout the COM
munity. We must send this case to
the sanatorium and cure the patient
so that he may return a healthy
human being.
Through the x-ray we are able
| to find early tuberculosis before
there are any symptoms and, as the
report shows, half of the patients
have had the advantage of having
pictures taken of their lungs. Unfor-
tunately, at the present time all the
counties are not equipped with x-ray
machines, but we are striving to-
wards the goal of having at least
one of these machines in every
county.
Gin order to reach this goal", Mr..
Matthews continued, 81 urge every
one to make returns for their 1910
tuberculosis Christmas Seals, as it
is only through the sale of these
stamps that we receive funds to car
ry on this modern case-finding pro-
gram and purchase the necessary
equipment.
Tuberculosis isl communicable
and infectious disease and not he
reditary and can be wiped out only
when we find the case and then cure
it. The death rate in Maryland is
far above the national average and
it is, therefore, necessary that we
bend every effort to reduce it,, Mr..
Matthews concluded.

kingdom, to order it, and to estab-
fish it with judgment and with JUS

Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy, among which

WHAT WE DO IN 2x BIOLOGY

In the beginning of the school
year we were divided into the fol-
lowing studies: Study of insects:
Here the pupils make very nice
drawings and studies of parts of the
insects. They state: Insect study is
important because there are more
species of insects than all animals
put together.
The boys studying fish have be-
come acquainted with life of COM
mon fish around here. The students
say,"We find this work very inter-
esting and different from our other
school work..
The girls studying birds have
come to know the families which
are useful and harmful, also their
nesting. The girls say, Bird study
is very interesting and useful to
every day life."
There is a group ON animal life.
They say 1--WE have become familiar
with many animals through our
study which we never knew about.
The girls studying trees learned
to distinguish between different
trees and where they grow best.
They state I'VE think this study will
benefit anyone who goes into study
far enough.
There is a group working on bac-
terra which say 1--WE have learned
more important things on health
through this study than ever be-
FORE"
When we have finished one topic
we may take UP another subject.
The teacher thinks we get along
well in our group work.
