SPEED LIMIT LAW
ENDANGERS SAFETY

O.cnaEia@ and passing Yenole.
without violating Tue wartime 35.milc
spccd limit sill require skillfu hand
ding Of the car, and caution should
be exercised at all Zines, Leonard +.
Kolmer, general manager Of the Au-
tomobile Club of Maryland, declared
this week.
The new low speed limit went into
effect on October /, through an order
of the Office Of Defense Transporta-
ton, and is an important element in
the Governments tire repIenishment
program designed to keep all cars in
operation until adequate supplies of
synthetic rubber become available.
Passing a car without going over
the 35-mile limit is quite a different
thing from passing with an open
throttle and maximum acceleration,"
Mr.. Kolmcr pointed out. "On the av-
craqc it will take twice az much time
a. under normal conditions.
For example, if two cars are going
down the road at 30 m. p. h. the fol-
lowing car could, under normal cir
cumstances, accelerate and pass the
car ahead within approximately 10
seconds and within $50 feet, and
would be going over As miles an hour
at the end of the maneuver However,
when passing at a speed of not more
than 35 miles an hour, he would need
900 feet of road space and approx
mately 10 seconds would elapse before
he was completely back in his own
lane.
"The more closely the car ahead
approaches the maximum limit the
more difficult, of course, becomes the
passing maneuver. If the other car is
going 80 m. p. h., you will need about
27 seconds-nearly half a minute
and 1900 feet-about a quarter Of a,
mile-if you are to get back into line
without breaking Uncle SANS new
speed limit. And repeated violations
II this speed limit, it has been off
cially warned, are apt to result in loss

CECIL COUNTY HAVING
TROUBLE WITH CANNES

On October 18th, a member of the
Elkton, Cecil County, Town Police
reported to the County Health De
partment that a stray dog had bitten
several persons. This animal was
killed, and on examination found to
have rabies. Upon investigation, it
was found necessary to administer
anti-rabic treatment to three school
children and one adult 1t was i'm
possible to determine the number of
dogs infected by this animal.
On October goth, the town police
reported that a second dog had bit
ten several children. This dog vas
killed and on examination WAS also
found to have rabies. It was neces-
sary to treat five children and one
defense worker to prevent the de-
velopment of rabies those injured
by this animal.
The State Veterinarian, Dr. Mark
Welsh, was notified. He visited the
county on November 4th, and after
calling on the county and town of
ficials has decided to establish a
quarantine of dogs for three months
in the area which is described as fol-
lows:
Beginning north from the mouth
of the Principle Creek, to the Penn
sylvania line; east along the Penn
sylvania line to the Delaware line;
along the Delaware line to the Ches-
apeake and Delaware canal; and,
along Back creek and the Elk river
to the starting point.
This area will be posted and a rep
resentative Of DR.. WeIsh's office will
be stationed in this area 10 assist
local authorities in the enforcement
Of the quarantine. All individuals Of
this area are requested to keep their
dogs confined and if they become i'll
or otherwise act in a peculiar man
ner to report the fact to the sheriff's
office Cphone Ellkton 81; the town
office Cphone Elkton y; or to the
County Health Department ('phone

Mr.. H. E. Mcbride, Superintendent
of Schools, included the following
paragraph in letter addressed tC
the teachers in the county, on No
vember 5th:
'For years some schools in the
county have had one or more pet OF
stray dogs in or around the school
most Of the time, which dogs usual
w belong to some of the children
Recently, Is you no doubt have
heard, several children have beer
bitten By dogs. which, after being
killed and examined, have been pro
nounced mad. Due to these happen
ings, it seems necessary to say that
no dogs are to be allowed in or a
round any school at any time. Please
cooperate to the fullest extent in this
matter, because it can easily become
very serious"

CAPT. INGERSOLL FINDS
SNAKE BED-FELLOW

Captain Harry IngersoII, 50 year
old Waterman, had the thrill Of
rhrill-packed life early last Friday
morning when he discovered that
ne had slept all the night before
with a four-foot salt water Moccasin
coiled in the springs of his bed.
Captain Ingersoll, a Willis Wharf
resident, who since 1914 has been
employed by Ballard Brothers, is a
Waterman supervisor at the Kings
Creek seafood business and has been
there since 1888. going home over
week-ends. His faithful watchdog,
Shop, keeps him company after
the other employees have gone to
their homes from the plant.
Last Thursday night when the
Captain started to go to bed "Shep"
parked furiously and the Captain
said he thought he heard a slight
Kissing sound but saw nothing I'M
usual about the room and quoting
his dog, went 70 bed and slept sound
~. Early the next morning "Shep"
began his warning again and the
kissing became more pronounced. 1t
became so loud, in fact, that Cap
tain Ingersoll coold locate its direc-
ton and investigation disclosed the
big snake tightly coiled in among the
bed-springs.
Then came the dilemma. Some
what poisonous the Moccasin is not
a reptile to be handled without care.
To shoot him from the bed would
have practically destroyed the sleep
ing quarters. To attempt to kill
him with a stick might result in only
sdislodging him and jeopardizing the
captains safety Then came the idea
that, solved the problem; there was a
full Flit-gun in the cabin.
Captain Ingersoll, from a safe dis
tance, began to spray the Moccasin
with it. The reptile Kissed the louder
and opened its mouth wider-mOre
Fit was applied. Within few min
utes the desired result was obtained
and the captains unwelcome bed-fel-
low became Supplied. 1t was so grog-
gy from the fumes of the spray, a
part of which it undoubtedly swal-
lowed, that it could be drawn from
the springs and removed to the yard
where the captain quickly dispatched
it with an axe.
Captain Ingersoll said he had spent
his entire life on the water and had
many unusual and thrilling expert
ences but last Thursday night was
the first he had ever spent with a
poisonous snake for a bedfellow and
he hoped it would be the last.
At this season of the year it is
said to be not uncommon for the male
snake to seek warmth by crawling
into houses near its habitat rather
