STRAWBERRY CELEBRATION
AT SALISBURY, MARYLAND,
TO BE HELD MAY 20, 80, 81

So great was the interest in Sal
isbury over the election of "Prin-
cess" for the Eastern Shore Straw
berry Celebration to be held there
on May 20, 30, 81 that approximate
| ly four times as many votes were
turned in as were cast in the last
city election.
When the votes were finally
counted under the supervision Of
the Mayor and Council it was found
that Miss Katherine Messick, Wi
comico High School senior, had
won the coveted honor with lead
of almost one thousand votes over
her nearest competitor. Miss Jean
Mock, popular drum-majorette of
the Wicomico High School Band re-
ceived the second highest vote and
was closely followed by Miss Nan
cy Clarke and Miss Mary Frances
Crockett.
Miss Messick, representing Sails
bury at the court of the queen of
the celebration will be entertained
with the other "Princesses" from
various sections of the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula. Towns to be represent
ed include Cape Charles, Va, East
vile, Va, Onancock, Va, Cam
bridge, Berlin, Hurlock, Pittsville,
Hebron, Chestertown, Willards,
Preston. Mardela, with others still
to make their selections.
In the big Strawberry Celebra-
tion Parade to be held on Saturday,
May 81, there will be two Salisbury
musical organizations and at least
eight others from various parts OF
the Peninsula. One of the high
lights of the. parade will be the ap-
pearance of the Girls Drum and
Bubble Corps of Talleyville, Del.
Other musical organizations in the
parade are from Sharptown IN

Gas Raiioninq
Still Possible
lekes Promises
Rigid Measures

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is
R-At the height of the vaca-
ton season, motorists of the
eastern seaboard today faced
the possibility of gasoline
rationing within three weeks.
Secretary of the Interior
Ickes, preparing to leave for a
vacation in Washington state,
told newsmen fatty that it
wouldn't be safe" to say no
rationing would be ordered
during his absence.
More rigid" measures for
oil conservation in the east
were imminent, he said, assert
ing there hasn't been any re-
Spouse at all encouraging" TO
his pleas for voluntary coopera-
ton by motorists. The prospec-
tive shortage of motor fuel in
the east was attributed to trans
portation difficulties, arising
from the transfer of numerous
American tankers to Britain.
Lending weight to his pro-
mise of more drastic restrictions
the exact nature of which was
left to speculation-Ickes told
his press conference yesterday
that he expected to have a
statement later in the day deal.
ing WITH the new restrictions.
When the petroleum coordina.
tors office closed, however,
aides who had worked on de-
tails of the new measures all
day said merely that the state
ment was not ready. They
gave no indication when 1t
might be issued.
Some sources here expected
Ickes to propose rationing Of
gasoline to filling stations
rather than issuance Of ration
cards to motorists. They did
not indicate how the service
stations would allow their sup
plies to purchasers.
Last week, the first undc.'
the night-closing curfew, gas
cline deliveries were up 1873
percent in New England. Ickes

Draft Age Bill
Reaches FDR
Age Reduction
Measure on Desk

WASHINGTON. Aug. l5-(P)
Legislation to lower the max
imum draft age from 35 to %
lay on President Roosevelts
desk today awaiting his sigma
ture.
Unless the Chief Executive
signs or vetoes the measure by
next Monday, it will become law
without his signature.
The bill, which was sent TO
the White House on August 8,
would make mandatory the de-
ferment from Selective Service
of men who were % years old
on last July l and had not been
indicted or who reach age %
on any subsequent July with
out being indicted.
1t also would empower the
Secretary of War to release from
the Army men who reached the
age of % on or prior to July /,
l94l, and before their induc-
ton. Such releases could be
made "as soon as practicable and
when not in conflict with the
interests of the National De-
Tense"
Men RELEASED under that provi-
sion would be transferred to re-
serve units for the same period
and under the same conditions
as selectees who complete their
military training. The law holds
such men in the reserve for 10
years or until they reach age
as. whichever Is earlier.

INFLUENZA

As winter approaches and war
seems TO be drawing nearer. We ma

may make little difference. but II is
interesting to read what scientists
are saying about this disease, par.

disease but at least three and per
haps A half dozen or more.
There will be hitherto unsuspect.
ed problems TO meet in the control
OF epidemics this winter. and in.
fuenZs will be among the worst.
During the winter Of 1904 tests
made Of more than 1900 persons
who contracted influenza showed
that in 80 per cent OF these cases
the body developed antibodies. or
disessehghting substances, in the
blood. Serum taken from these
patients was effective in controlling

However. a mystery soon arose
In the finding that in 3ss cases, or
30 per cent, antibodies were not
produced against either A" or
B" virus with. sera.
Therefore II seems probable that

This development, dreamed Of by
scientists since medieval days
when whole animal blood was ex-
perimented with for transtusions
and failed, is an actually now.
Scientists have transfused serum
albumin. one Of the protein sub
stances found in most animal It's
sues from COWS TO human volun-
teers. Il has been demonstrated
that crystalline serum albumin can
b. isolated from bovine blood AT
low cost and it is surprisingly SIM
liar 10 the same fraction from
human blood
Therapeutic trials up to the pres
ent justify the hope that chemi-
cally pure bovine serum albumin
can be substituted for the CORES
pending human fraction with
equally good therapeutic results
and without danger TO the recip-
tent.
The albumin alone is not suf-
ficient in the TRANSMISSION process
but it is one Of the most impor.
tant elements in the blood and
other living tissues. An excess or
deficiency witt cause serious dis
orders.
Whooping cough vaccine, when
used properly, may cut the rate Of
the disease by as much as 81 per
cent. Some doubt has been cast
on its effectiveness recently, but

every 100 persons vaccinated de

The New York department in
an exhibit declares that the pneu-
monia death rate in New York
state has been cut almost in half
during the past five years through
the use of sulfapyridine and its

sulfadiazine, dropping from 81
cases per 100000 populatios in 1886
To- less than As cases per 100000
in 1910.
Sulfadiazine has proven the most
effective drug, authorities declare,
and in addition is less toxic, de
yelops fewer adverse reactions,

longer period OF time.
