lection as a cause of disease has
come to stay. But, like every other
principle in medicine, it has its
limitati0ns.'
One Of the other founders Of
thi& concept, William Hunter, an
English physician, in 1910 made
some remarks which have been
misinterpreted. He spoke chiefly
Of infections arising from ill-h.-
ting dehtures and crowns, not OF
APPEAL assesses about pulp.ess
teeth, which are now usually re
garded as infected teeth,
Another commonly blamed
source Of focal infection are the
tonsils. In an investigation Of a
number of surgical operations IN
a single hospital over a period of
years, it was found that one-thlrd
Of 10000 surgical operations we're
for removal Of the tOnsllS.
1t is interesting to note that
the statistician who collected
these figures stated that the opera
ton for removal of the tonsils vas
three times as common among the
well-to-do as among the poor. The
suspicion remains that there is
such a thing as removal of tom
sis for revenue only.
Unqucstionably there are many
cases in which systemic disease is
caused by focal infection Of this
type. But also unquestionably
most cases are not critically evalu-
ated. The removal of tonSilS is not
very serious but the loss of teeth
which may be forming part of the
structure of the jaws is no light
matter. Their loss results not only
in facial ~deformity and d.scom-
fort but also in digestive disturb

u. s. WANTS TO TAKE TAX
OUT OF SALARY

You'll be finding part of your
Federal income tax deducted from
your paycheck by your employer
pretty soon, if Congress approves q
suggestion made by Secretary Nor
genthau.
He said such collection probably
would be necessary for the ICON
venience" of the taxpayer, and also
to stop him from spending his mon
ey in some inflationary way before
tax time rolls around.
Here's how it would work at the
10 per cent rate:
Salaries and wages-Any en-
ployer paying more than SIG week
to a single person or more than $32
a week to a married person would
check off 10 per cent of any wages
in excess of those amounts and send
the money to the Treasury every
month. If the employee had children
or other dependents, an additional
$3.50 a week would be exempt from
the deduction for each dependent.

100000 HAVE JOINED THE NAVY
SINCE DECEMBER z

The Navy Department today an
nounced that enlistments since the
japanese attack on PEARL Harbor,
December 7, 1941, have passed we'll
over the 100000 mark, and that
enlistments are continuing at a
heavy rate.
The Navy Department expects to
continue enlisments ON an entirely
voluntary basis.
In answer to many queries coming
into the Navy Department, the Chief
of the Bureau of Navigation stated
that men who are registered under
the Selective Service System are free
to enlist voluntarily in the Navy up
to the time they are indicted into
the Army. 1t is understood that reg
istrants now are indicted into the
Army. Immediately after examina-
ton by the Army Medical Examin-
ing Board.
The Chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation expressed qualification at the
response of the thousands of young
men who have decided to join the
rapidly expanding United States
Navy in defense of their country, as
an answer to the Axis threat which
eliminated in the treacherous JAP
anese attack on December Z, 1941.

SOAP SUPPLIES SUFFER---SO
SCIENCE SEEKS SAVINGS

Soap goes farther in soft water
than In hard, SO now that war
threatens to reduce supplies of soap
making vegetable oils from abroad,
the old-time rain barrel may re-
gain it's place under the farmhouse
caves in hardwater regions, says
the U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture.
The Bureau of Agricultural Chem
istry and Engineering points out
that water softeners such as I've,
washing soda, trisodium phosphate,
or borax may supplement the rain
barrel tor reduce soap required for
hardwater washing of clothes or
dishes, but they caution against
using too much of these as an excess
is hard on hands and clothes.
Rosin, long common in yellow
bars of laudry soap, may be used
effectively to replace part of the
usual oil content in hand and face
soaps, so chemists of the Depart
ment have compared rosin soaps in
hand-washing tests. They find that
these soaps are germicidally more
active than corresponding non
rosin soaps made from vegetable
oils. For long time rosin was used
only for soap in the form of bars or
cakes, but soaps containing lrosin
are now becoming available in
flake form.
Much soap is, wasted, says the
Bureau, because 1t is not permitted
to dry thoroughly before use, or be-
cause it is kept in wet dish or
left longer than necessary in wash
ing water. 1t is real economy to re-
move wrappers and let the bars OF
soap dry out before using.

SUGAR FOR HOME CANNING

Every effort is being made to
have sugar available for home can
ming this summer, Mr.. Louis c.
Burr, State Rationing Administra-
tor, reported.
This assurance was made by A,
E. Bowman, chief of the sugar Sec
ton of the War Production Board,
who stated that, Gin our monthly
ALLEGATIONS of refined sugar we are
taking into account the sugar that
will be needed for home canning"
while the supply may be some
what limited, just as the supply for
daily consumption is already limit
ed, it will be sufficient to enable
housewives to can what they need"
1t was indicated that some house
wives are buying more sugar than
they need for normal consumption
with the explanation that they want
to be sure to have a supply on hand
for home canning next summer
Such buying is not only unnecessary
but also unwise, because it agra
Yates a situation that is already
difficult.
In this connection, it should be
remembered that granulated sugar
will harden and cake and will begin
to deteriorate in quality within 8
months after its purchase under or
dinayy household storage conditions

FOOD MUST BE GROWN

With bad news from the war front
and with the prospect of long war,
there has been general, apparently
spontaneous, movement all over the
country to encourage and insist on
greater production of food.
The Department of Agriculture
Advisory Committee on War Gar
dens, headed by Gov. Cooper, OF
Tennessee, devised plan for plant
ing scrap lands'-all the available
vacant spaces with good soil-and
every governor has been called
upon to apply the scheme in his own
state, in order to help feed America.
An added reason for growing food
everywhere Is to save Transports
ton. But Governor Cooper repeated
Secretary Wickard's warning against
the danger of amateurs wasting
good seed and ground.
Our aim in this battle of food
should be full and abundant pro-
duction without exploitation of soil
or people,, declared Fred S. Wal
lace, chief of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration. But the
Agricultural Department went fur
Their than exhortation. 1t notified
growers of such essential foods as
rice, potatoes and peanuts that they
must plant up to their allotments
this year or suffer reductions In
their benefit payments. They may
go as far beyond their allotments
as they wish.
The main danger in the foot
growing problem is the shortage Of
farm labor. Farm boys not in the
service are enticed away from the
farm by the high wages at factor
les. To solve this problem, some
startling suggestions were made a
a regional meeting of the Farm Sc
curity Administration in Philada
women children and paroled con
victs for farm work. Other sources
of emergency labor mentioned in
cluded the aged in public homes
Boy Scouts, industrial workers OF
week-ends, and students from thu
various schools-released at plant
ing and harvesting time.

FEBRUARY UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS PAID

Benefits paid to the unemployed
in February by the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board
amounted to $229,576, which was
$174,266 less than the sum paid in
January, and $3S,2O8 below the
payments in February of last year.
At the end of February the aggre-
gate payments of benefits to date
beginning in January 1888 had
grown to $28,165, 1000, leaving in the
United States treasury reserve
fund of nearly $38,000,O0O. This
money, as the law stands, can be
used for the payment of unemploy-
ment benefits based ON earnings in
Maryland only.
Benefit payments in the year
ended December 81 last amounted
to $4,879,000, which was $685.
900 less than the aggregate paid in
any preceding year.
New Claims for benefits received
by the Board in recent weeks have
been running close to the figures Of
year ago.

OUR SUGAR BOWL

Sugar is Just the sort of strength
and energy builder needed by war
riors but every time big war comes
up sugar runs away. In the last
world war it got very scarce, was
severely rationed, and the price rose
to 80 cents pound. This time we
were told in advance that sugar was
one thing we should not have to
worry about; we had been bothered
for years with so much of it that
both production and importations
had to be restricted. We had to push
it away.
But now that we have been in
the war less than three months sug-
ar is scarce and we are drawing ra-
ton cards. Sugar again is one of the
first victims of war. The broad ex-
PLANTATION is that it is grown in the
semi-tropical climates of some 20,
odd countries and must be trans.
ported to consuming centers. And q
world war plays havoc with trans
portation. And in war, sugar be-
comes more important food fol
munition plants than for people.
But the sugar situation this time
though little complicated, is not
going to be really bad for the big
gest sugar-eating people in the
world. In lowering home consump-
ton from a per capita pound a week
to three-fourths of pound, and
from around 100 pounds a year
(including ice cream, soft drinks
etc., to 70, our pinched rations will
still look like feast to other ma.
tions.
And another important feature
is that prices will not be allowed te
run away. Argus-eyed Price AID
ministrator Leon Henderson Is
watching every dealer, also every
hoarder, and he, is going to see that
everybody gets his share and thai
nobody gets much of profit.
EVERY STATE HAS WILD ROSES
The distribution of the native
varities Of wild roses in North Amer.
lea is extensive and surprisingly
uniform, Thomas M. Little of the
U. s. Department of Agriculture
notes in an article in the American
Rose Annual.
Roses are found, says Little
who is q geneticist in the Bureau OF
Plant Industry lin every section from
the Arctic Circle to Mexico. Not
State in the United States nor a
Province in Canada is without its
wild roses. Therefore, there is hope
that plant breeders may find the
native species useful in developing
roses ideally suited to all sections
of the continent"

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
Is IN DANGER

The Senate Judiciary Committee
is now considering s. 1881, bill,
which, IL passed in its present form,
would virtually throttle all criti-
cism of government agencies.s This
bill provides that any person or
group who discloses information
declared to be secret or confidential
by statute or declared to be secret or
confidential by any rule or regula-
ton of any department or agency of
the United States---shall be fined not
more than $4,000 or imprisoned for
not more than two years, or BOTH
II this bill were enacted into law
in its present form, any agency or
bureau, regardless of its Importance
to the war effort, could decree that
It's data are confidential.
Thus regardless of military neces-
stiles, department and agency heads
---who are not elected by the people
and who have no direct RESPONSE
bility to the electorate---could, by
mere fiat, deprive the citizens of
the nation of the right to criticize
any act or policy of their department
or agency.
Such a law could have imprisoned
editors and taxpayers who disclosed
the recent nonsense of the OCD. The
heads of the FSA could make us
criminals for objecting to its shock
ing waste of public money. 1t could
be made a crime to discuss whether
or not Government held farm pro-
ducts should be sold at parity or
loss. A department might become
as red as Moscow and by merely de-
claring it's doings secret. the head
could prevent the press or the peo-
pie from doing anything about 1t or
from even knowing anything about
it until too late. And all this in
face of the fact that at this very
minute our men are dying in defense
of our Democratic rights.
Information of value to the enemy
must be kept secret and severe pen
alties should be imposed for violat-
ing such an obvious requirement.
But as the law is now drawn, any
Taxpayers group could be impris-
oned for merely publishing facts of
waste, inefficiency or duplication in
any department or agency regard
less of their military character.
This Bill illustrates again the
eternal vigilance required, lest thru
neglect at home we lose those lib
critics that all the might of the Axis
cannot wrest from us on the field
of battle.

MARCH 18th TAKES FOR
VICTORY DAY

Taxpayers of Maryland called
upon Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
to proclaim March 18th "Taxes for
Victory" day as an expression of
the will of the people of Maryland,
as individuals, to make any sacri-
flee necessary to the war effort and
as declaration of will on the part
of their State and local Govern
ments, to make comparable sacrifice
waste to conserve victory dollars
for victory.
In a letter to the Governor the
Maryland Public Expenditure Coun-
Gil pointed out that never before in
the county's history has the deadline
for Federal income tax payment held
such great significance to the aver
age American--the little fellow, the
worker, the farmer, the small wage
Garner. Millions of these average
AMERICANS, the statement said, will
dig down this year to contribute for
the first time, directly to the opera
ton of their Federal Government
contribute to the biggest, most stag
gering tax collection of all time.
mo longer, said the taxpayers,
will the Illusion be suffered that it
is the rich, and only the rich who
pay. Gradually we are becoming
nation united in our common stake
in the operation and expenditures of
Government.
Because this March 18th is the
first since the nation became locked
in war;" the letter continued, 1--WE
know that taxes will be gladly paid
for victory. But just because we are
at war--just because the nation is
staring at danger, tax payments will
be made with legitimate and in
creasing question as to the use to
which they are put. There will be
greater and greater demand by the
average American, the little fellow,
that his Victory Dollars" be
used to buy victory--that Govern
ment, Federal, State and local
strip itself of all non essentials and
waste.
'The taxpayers remind the Gov
ernor that March 18th of this year
is of special Importance They point
out "the day is, in sense, symbol
of our will to sacrifice as indivi-
duals 1t should also be symbol of
the will of our State (Which is. the
composite of our individual wills)
to sacrifice. So important is this
day. March 18th that the Maryland
Public Expenditures Council re-
spectfully suggests that you as the
elected representative of the people
take the following appropriate ac-
tions:
l.. That you proclaim March 18th
as Taxes for Victory day.
2. That on that day you declare
the will and intention of the people
of this State, in the function of their
State Government and under your
leadership to cut out all non essen
tial expenditures and to conserve
every possible victory dollar for
victory.
8. That on that day, with all your
authority and prestige, you direct a
message to all County Commits
sioners, Mayors and other Govern
ment officials within the State, urg-
ing unstinted effort towards cutting
out non essentials and reducing the
costs of Government to minimum"

MARYLAND FARM STOCK
IN GAIN

The value of all livestock and
poultry, excluding broilers, on
Maryland farms January 1, 1912,
was nineteen per cent higher than
year ago, the Maryland Crop Re-
porting Service reports.
The annual livestock survey of
the Agricultural Marketing Service
placed the Maryland valuation at
$41,473,000 compared with $34,-
$4,000 a year ago. The report
said:
"The increased valuation on jan
uary /, 1912, was due in most part
to higher valuations per animal COM
pared with year ago and not
necessarily to increases in numbers
on hand.
1.-THE number OF all hogs, horses
and mules on hand was below a
year ago, while all cattle. including
milk COW, chicken and turkey num-
bers were larger than on January
/, 1941."
