American public was sur
prised to learn that it takes
at least five men on the

the number rather small;

from thirty to forty persons

In a scene made for "That I'm

Sixty-Six Die
OF Auto Injuries
During December
Baltimore, Cecil, Prince
Georges Counties Lead In
Fatalities

The report of the Maryland
Traffic Safety Committee released
this week for the month of Deem
Der. says:
"Traffic accidents claimed 66
lives on the streets and highways
of Maryland during the last month
Of 1910. This was the highest De-
cember death rate in four years,
and 43.4 per cent increase over
December, 1889.
Sixteen of the December deaths
occurred in Baltimore City and so
occurred in the counties. Calvert,
Dorchester, Kent and Talbot coun-
ties did not have a fatality during
the month of December, and Caro-
line, Carroll, St. Mary's and Wor-
cester counties reported only ia
tality each. Baltimore county with
seven fatalities was high, followed
by Cecil county with six and Prince
Georges county with five. Howard
county had three deaths and ID
injuries.
Pedestrian accidents continued
to lead all other types for severity.
Thirteen of tho, 16 persons killed in
Baltimore city, or 81.3 per cent,
were pedestrians; and % of the SO
killed in the counties, or Sc per
cent, were pedestrians. The ped
estrian apparently has not learned
to respect the limitations of the
drivers and that the automobile is
a lethal instrument.
"Every effort has been put forth
during the past year by the Mary
land Traffic Safety Committee, the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
the State Roads Commission, the
Maryland State Police, the Balti-
more City Police, and various
State, County, Local and Civic or
CARNATIONS to curb the increasing,
accident rate. But, in spite OF
their activities in all fields of &C.
cident prevention, this tremendous
increase has been experienced.
"There has been a tremendous
increase in traffic during the past
year which will continue during
the coming year. This increase in
traffic has been caused by the ex-
pansion Of industry due to the vast
national defense program. The
Maryland Traffic Safety Committed
and other State, Municipal and
Civic organizations urge all motor
lists and pedestrians to exercise ex.
IRENE caution in an effort to make
possible a reduction in fatalities
and all accidents, rather than the
continued increase which has been
experienced during the past two
years, and help place Maryland at
the top of the list of safety con-
scious states during the coming
year instead of the far down the
list position it now holds"

Huge Blood Reservoir
To Be Collected By Red
Cross, Research Council

The American Red Cross this
week announced plans for the es-
Establishment of national defense
blood plasma reservoir = reserve
to be placed at the disposal of the
Army and Navy, which in time OF
emergency would serve as an inter
national bank to treat the victims
of wars and disasters.
The project will be undertaken
by the Red Cross in cooperation
with the Division of Medical Sci
ence of the National Research
Council which will handle techni-
cal aspects Of the program. For
five months the National Research
Council and the Red Cross have
been engaged in a preliminary
study to perfect methods of pro-
cessing, storing and transfusine
plasma for field and naval use.
Findings of the study prompted
Surgeon General James C. Magee
Of the Army, and Surgeon Genera,
Ross T. Mcintyre, of the Navy, to
request the Red Cross and National
Research Council to undertake the
reservoir project.

Health Report
Shows $4,000
Catching Cases
Typhoid, Diphtheria And
tuberculosis Cases Show
Significant Decreases

Health conditions in Maryland
in 1910 were generally favorable,
as indicated by a report of DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, giving pro-
fessional figures for sickness from
the "reportable" diseases - the
major infectious or contagious
diseases-during the year.
There were nearly $4,000 cases
of the catching" diseases re-
ported in the State in 1910 in
comparison with 1895 cases in
1889. The high total in 1889 was
due largely to the measles out
break of that year in connection
with. which there were IA, 232 cases
reported. The disease was at a
low ebb in 1910; only 246 cases
were reported.
The total sickness from the re-
portable diseases in 1910 was di-
vided between Baltimore City and
the counties as follows: Balti-
more City, 23,128 cases; the coun-
ties 1892. There were signifi-
cant decreases in three diseases
that are always matters Of spe-
cial concern: Typhoid fever, diph-
liberia and tuberculosis. Typhoid
dropped from 1872 in 1889 to 126
last year; diphtheria from 245 in
1889 to 153 in 1910 and tuber-
culosis from 2,721 cases in 1889
to 1852 in 1910.
Other diseases in which favor
able decreases occurred in 1910,
included: Rocky Mountain spotted
fever of which 55 cases were re-
ported; undulant fever, % cases ;
tularemia (rabbit fever) %;
dysentery, LAT; diarrhea and
cholera infantum, 1879; erysipelas,
85; poliomyelitis, II; meningitis,
81; and pellagra, z cases; in COM
parison with the following in
1889; Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, 72; undulant fever, SO;
tularemia, 40; dysentery, 286;
diarrhea and cholera infantum,
all; erysipelas, 1874; poliomyelitis,
81; meningitis, 81, and pellagra,
81.
There were marked fiare-ups in
whopping cough, which increased
from zoos cases in 1889 to over
5000 cases in 1910, and in the
pneumonia of which nearly a
thousand more cases were reported
than in 1939-4,896 cases in 1910
and 1889 in 1889. The increase
in the cases of pneumonia was
Offset by a very marked decrease
in the number of deaths from the
disease, due to the fact that sui
fapyridine or the appropriate
serum was made available, through
the pneumonia control services OF
the State and County Health De-
partments, to physicians for pa
tents unable to secure these newer
methods of treatment, otherwise.
The list of "reportable" dis
eases includes about 40 that are
communicable in some way. Ply
sicians in attendance are re-
quested to report the occurrence
of such diseases among their pa
tents to the nearest health off
Ger, in order that measures to
prevent their spread may be insti-
tuted without delay. When there
is no physician in attendance the
responsibility for reporting GER
tain diseases shifts to the house
holder or to others with knowledge
of the facts.
