TICKS ARE BACK. BE CAREFUL

Ticks are back again in the Mary
land woods. The possibility of con-
tracing spotted fever"--populary
known as tick bite fever--from in
fected insects brings this warning
from DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Health Department to all
whose work or recreation takes
them into tick-infested areas
Spotted fever--or tick bite fever
contracted DR.. Riley said, from
the bite of infected insects or from
absorbing the infectious material
into the system, through scratch,
an open sore, or break in the skin.
The disease does not spread from
person OF person.
while not all ticks are carriers
of the infectious material, it isn't
safe to take any chances with any
of them. They are all possible sourc-
es of danger, and you must act &C
cordingly.
Remove any ticks found on the
body without delay, but very care
fully, so as not to absorb any of
the infectious material through a
possible scratch or break in the skin.
Protect the fingers with bit of
soft cloth or paper. If the insect is
deeply embedded in the skin use
small forceps if possible, to with
draw it.
"Swab the place with iodine; dip
your fingers and the forceps in alco-
hol and wash your hands with soap
and water, thoroughly, afterwards.
"If you are camping or working
in tick-infested area protect your
self with suitable clothing. Search
your clothing and any possible hid
ing places on your body for the in
sary.
Children playing in uncleared
places, or in woods along shores
should be looked over very care
fully. Don't forget to search behind
the ears, on the head and in the
hair.
"A vaccine that has been found
to be of help in preventing the di-
sease, if given early in the season,
can be obtained without charge
through your County Health Of
ficer."
In its early stages tick bite fever
may resemble measles, influenza,
typhoid fever, meningitis or typhus,
DR.. Riley said. On that account it
is very important that a doctor be
called when suspicious symptoms de-
velop after a person has been ex-
posed to ticks. The presence of the
disease can be confirmed by labora-
tory tests.
A leaflet on Spotted Fever, which
answers many of the questions
that people ask about the disease,
has been published by the u. s. Pub
lie Health Service. Copies of it can
be obtained by writing to the U. S.
Public Health Service, Federal Sc
curity Agency, Washington, D. c.

MODERATE INITIATION
BY J. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., June LIZARD
ly a week passes in washington
without discussions of plans and
programs for fresh boost of taxes.
An important item under that head
ing is the proposal for an increase
of individual income tax rates from
4 to 6 per cent, with stiff surtaxes
starting on the first dollar of taxable
income. Such a proposal has ap-
parently met with approval by the
House Ways and Means Committee.
The Chairman of the Committee
says that the new scheme would
yield approximately $2,754,000,0O0.
Another tax plan meeting with
strong support in Congress proposes
to lower income tax exemptions of
married couples to $1,000, and
single persons to $500.
Again there is the suggestion
that there should be Federal sales
taxa plan that has been pushed
aside a great many times because
the states have already occupied
that field for taxation. Nevertheless,
the present indications are that it is
only matter of time before there
will be a Government sales tax.
Many corporations of the country
have been reducing their rate OF
dividends to stockholders. A large
number of the most important fin
ancial and industrial institutions OF
the country, including food, electri-
cal, steel, oil, automobiles, trans.
portation, communications, etc.
have announced, week after week
that their businesses for the past
year have earned more than usual
but that their net earnings are fal
below former years, because OF
many kinds of taxes they will have
to pay.
In all this Transformation oul

All of which amounts to moderate

monthly report of State Comptroller
J. Willard Tawes.
The State gasoline tax amounts
to 4 cents gallon. On this basis,
and not allowing for tax-exempt

A Boon To Uncle Sam

Americas march toward economic
self-suficiency is being accelerated
by a number of relatively new com
modities made from our most abun-
dant natural resources. These mater
ials, some of them coming from
by-products once considered use
less, are now replacing steel, alum
mum, rubber, and other vital wal
elements in the manufacture OF
many things.
Among the most versatile of these
commodities contributing to wal
and civilian production are Mason
tie Presdwoods, grainless hard
boards processed from Southern
pine and hardwoods. When William
H. Mason first exploded some wood
chips in an industrial "gun" in
1925, he little realized that the sub
stance he created would eventually
save millions of pounds of vital
metals, at a time when the nation
needs them most.
During pre-war years, presdwoods
were widely used in the building in
dustry, the automobile field, and by
the manufacturers of Office equip
ment, table tops, toys, and adver-
Using displays. AS defense prepare
tons began, they found new uses in
U. S. Army Signal Corps trailer ex-
teriors, tank Innings, shell holders
for arsenals, and a new semi-plastic
was developed for airplane dies.
Now that war priorities have taken
metals away from many civil-goods
industries. presdwoods are saving
80 pounds of steel in new refrig-
orator exterior and 100 pounds of
steel in new filing cabinet.
The stern demands of war pro-
duction always tax the creative gen.
ius of a nations industries. When
it becomes impossible to import
certain raw materials, requirements
must be found among other sub
stances available. Products that
enter new fields as alternates today
will remain as staples in the peace
full tomorrow that is to come. In
the case of presdwood, at least, this
prediction should be true. Any use
full commodity that is made, from
wood, Americas most abundant nat
ural resource, simply cannot fail

may make it all the more difficult
for Mr.. Fish to win in November.
The charge that Mr.. Fish received
$25 900 from Gen. Trujillo, originally
published as a "fee," and that he
did not report it in his income tax
return for 1889, coming at the elev-
cnth hour In the primary campaign,
probably will have little effect on
the primary voting, the Fish people
say.
The Bennett supporters on the
other hand, are hoping that 1t will
turn many voters away from Mr..
Fish, coming as it does on top Of
the other charges against him. Mr..
Fish insists that the $25 900 was not
q fee" and that he used part of
the money merely as an agent for
Gen. Trujillo in some oil deals in
Texas and Oklahoma, returning
$12,500 of the amount to the gem
eral after the other half had been
totally lost In the oil speculation.
Filed Amended Statement.
According to Mr.. Fish, the publ
cation Of this charge against him
is just another attempt to smear"
him. As the money was never his,
he says, there was no obligation to
make any income tax return about
1t. Further, he says, he filed about
two months ago an amended state
ment with the Internal Revenue
Bureau, to be attached to his in
come tax return, setting forth all
the details OF the transaction, sus-
pecting that an effort would be made
by his opponents to bring the mat
ter into the campaign.
Mr.. Fish is not the only isolation
list in the New York House
delegation whose scalp the anti
isolattonists are after in this pri-
m airy election. Representative
Barry, Democrat, of the second dis
trict, has strong opposition from the

Barry is from Queens, strongly
Democratic but also strongly anti
New Deal. Queens was carried BY
MIR. Willkie in 1910 with q lead Of
10000 votes over President Roose-
welt.

both renominated on Tuesday, pre-
Pearl Harbor isolationism will have
proved rather ineffective as an issue
in politics so far this year. The

planes per month in nine plants.
An official said it would require nine
plants, each the size of Ford's huge
Willow Run, to do the job.
A plant now making planes about
half the size of the Mars has g.
100000 square feet of space, or about
451a acres under roof, he said. The
plant produces 11a planes per day.
The rate of 5000 planes a year for
nine plants means ~ Mars a day
per plant. Each factory, he con-
tinued, would require about twice
as much space as the existing plant
of 100000 square feet. or a grand
total of 8l9 acres under roof.
From another source was learned
something of the delay entailed in
getting materials for bomber and
fighter planes, due to scarcity. It
sometimes takes up to a year to
get aluminium forgings, a primary
requirement in plane building. How,
it was asked, could Mr.. Kaiser hope
for delivery under that time? In
addition, he added, delivery at any
time to Mr.. Kaiser would mean cur
failing material for military planes.
Shortage of Men Acute.
Still another aircraft maker re-
garded as even more critical than
the materials situation a shortage
of trained technical men, engineers
and highly skilled workmen
Tell me where I can hire an en-
gineer," he said. "and I will send
a Cadillac for him"
The official said the only place Mr..
Kaiser could get trained organiza-
ton would be from the aircraft in

current military schedules are to
be maintained, he added.

Prof. Fite.
The Republicans in the District
are a clannish lot. They resent
being told by outsiders for whom
to vote. This year there has been
plenty of outside advice to turn
down Mr.. Fish. This has come
especially from the Union for Demo
cratic Action and from the New
York publication PM.
Wendell L. Willkie, Republican
presidential candidate in 1910,
turned thumbs down and sought to
bring forward single anti-iso-
lationist Republican to contest for
the nomination.
Thomas E. Dewey, the presump-
tive Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, was quoted as saying at a
meeting in the district that he did
not like Mr.. Fish because Of the
company he kept. Since then Mr..
Dewey has said he was incorrectly
quoted and he has not been active
in the primary fight.
denomination Expected.
Mr.. Fish's denomination is ex-
pected for a number OF reasons.
First, his opposition is divided. If
the anti-Tish Republicans had been
able to put one man in the field
against him, Mr.. Bennett for exam
pie, there would have been a bet
ter chance to defeat Mr.. Fish.
Second. he has the Republican
organization back OF him.
Third, large percentage OF the
in his district were
opposed to the entry of the United
States into the present war before
Pearl Harbor-as was Mr.. Fish
and they see no reason for defeat
ing him now on that issue. Mr..
Fish did oppose many of the ma
tional defense measures put for
ward by the President before Ja-
pans attack at Pearl Harbor. But
since that attack he has voted for
all Of the war measures.
A veteran of the World War, he
offered to resign from the House
and accept a commission in the
Army for this war, but he was
turned down by the War Depart
ment. And fourth, there is the re-
sentiment of the voters of the dis
trict because they have been told for
whom to vote.
Many times it has been published
that to renominate Mr.. Fish and
re-elect him would be a reputation
