ACCIDENT TOLL IN MARYLAND
KEPT DOWN TO All

Gasoline rationing and the VIC
tory, speed limit have prolonged the
lives and preserved. the health OF
many Marylanders, II was revealed
recently at the statistical buread OF
the Maryland State Police.
Traffic accident figures, according
to Lit Marlin d. Brubaker, head OF
the bureau show that 1870 or ass
lives will be spared and q few thou
sand fewer persons will be injured
this year than In former years be-
cause Of the rationing and speed
regulations.
So far this year, 1t. Brubaker's
figures show, 271 persons have been
injured fatally in traffic accidents
in the State-S6 in Baltimore city
and 1856 in the counties
If the fatalities continue at the
same rate for the next two months,
he pointed out, total traffic deaths
for the year would be about 325.
The figure would be 1876 below
the total traffic deaths for 1912,
when 154 persons were killed in Bal
timore city and sos in the counties.
In 1912, motor vehicle fatalities
were 612, with $50 of the deaths
occurring in the city. In 1910, city
deaths reached 1874, and county
deaths totaled Ais.
Indicating the decline over the
three-year period, Lieutenant Bru-
baker declared that "if pedestrians
and motorists would only pay atten-
ton to what they are doing, the fig-
ure could be reduced still further"
Pedestrians .tstill are taking
pretty bad beating" Lieutenant Bru-
baker said, although motor vehicles
continue to hit fixed objects, such
as safety pylons and bridge abut-
ments, and from the number of over
turned cars and other types of ACCT
dents we know that some speeding
still is going on"
Reduction in traffic has helped
considerably. There are fewer junk
ers' (dilapidated cars) ON the road"
Non-fatal injuries from motor We
hicle accidents have declined at about
the same rate as the fatal accident
figures, Lieutenant Brubaker said.
In 1910, 1920 persons were in
jured in automobile accidents In the
State; 10,7S0 hurt in 1941, and 81
663 in 1912.
i So far this year, $3.50 persons
have been injured in motor vehicle
accidents. If that rate continues,
1000 persons will have been injured
in motor vehicle accidents by the
end of the year.

CAN'T DRINK MILK AND
EAT 1T, TOO

Gone are the days when there was
milk to spare for bath for an act
ress-even in the mind of theatre
cal agent Milk, now, is one of the
foods that fight for freedom. The
War Food Administration is asking
consumers to "hold the line" on
milk resumption.
Many American families have been
using more milk than they need;
others not getting enough. Individ-
ual needs vary, but normal, healthy
adult who drinks a quart Of milk q
day is drinking more than is actually
necessary for good nutrition. Unwit-
tingly, such indulgence might be the
reason why the milkman cannot
leave an extra bottle for Mrs. Jones,
who just arrived home from the hos
pital with an heir. She does need the
extra milk.
When figuring needs for milk,
housewives should remember that
most families get part Of their daily
milk requirement in manufactured
dairy products. Smaller supplies of
butter, cheese, and evaporated milk,
particularly-are available. One rea-
SON Is that production has dropped
dropped because people are drinking
more, leaving less for processing.
You can't drink your milk, land
eat 1t, too!

TELETYPEWRITERS
SPEED "BIG INCH"
OIL DELIVERIES

Teletypewriter machines have been
installed at pumping stations along
the route of the big Inch" pipeline
to control the eastward flow of oil
from southwestern fields to Atlantic
coast cities. The installation of these
teletypewriter machines was handled
by the Long Lines Department of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. All oil pipe lines have a
communications system paralleling
them.
On the new line, as on all others,
the oil shipments are controlled, expe-
dited, accounted for, and guarded, too,
by extensive communication lines. On
the "Big Inch," teletypewriter ma
chimes have been installed at each
pumping station. The operations are
directed by a dispatcher who COM
municates with each station by tipping
out his message. Thus, a record of
each order and report is kept.
In front of the dispatcher is tape
which moves at a speed proportional
to that Of the oil in the pipe. When
ever oil of different character is
started through the line, the fact is
noted on the tape. As the head Of the
new tender" approaches each station,
the attendant is warned by teletype
SO he can open and close valves in
proper sequence to divert the oil into
the proper tank.
The rate of oil flow in the "Big
Inch" pipe line is approximately 100
miles per day. It requires, therefore,
approximately two weeks for given
particle of oil to travel from the main
terminal at Longview, Texas, to the
refineries at New York or Phila-
delphia.

Camouflage in Home

When finishing an attic cr other
part of a house to provide more
space for war workers or an en-
larged family, awkwardly placed or
unsightly doors may be ingeniously
masked by painting them in the SIM
ilitude of shelves of books, or cup
boards, with vases of flowers or
plants on the shelves" This is not
Intended to deceive anybody but
merely to make the room look more
interesting and unique to its occu-
pant and In some cases to cause It

otherwise better proportional. The
expense is inconsequential. If you
are doing necessary paint job any
way, it costs little or nothing more

We utilize these spiritual facts re-
vealed by Christian Science7 BY
thinking them, knowing them, keeping
our consciousness filled with them.
Then there will be no opportunity in
our consciousness, or experience for
lack, disease, fear, or sorrow.
In Christian Science, demand and
supply are one, for God always de-
mands that which He supplies, and
He always supplies that which He de-
mands. II the demand is made on you
to express more love, courage, pa
thence, intelligence, or supply, this is
but evidence that you are enabled
through spiritual understanding to
manifest the supply; for, as Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder Of Christian Science, says
miscellaneous Writings, p. 45),
"Under the deific law /. supply in
variably meets demand" These de-
mands are made first on our thinking.
in other words we must become con-
scious Of them, and supply is express
sed to us first as ideas for the same
reason. In fact, no such thing as q
wholly material need exists. This
may seem incredible to some Of you;
but let me illustrate. If you are in
debt, you may think that your need is
for a merely material medium, name
ly, money; but If you had all the
money in the world you would not paw
that debt unless you were prompted
to do SO by sense Of honor, of JUS
tice, Of honesty, or love. So what you
owe another is to love him, and if you
love him you will pay your debt. If
you were in debt and had no money,
but realized that what you owe is
purely mental and spiritual, you
would lay claim to the presence Of
infinite Love and utilize it. In other
words, you would know that it is but
loving, just and honest that your cred
itor have what belongs to him and
that God enabled you to do what is
honest, loving, and just.
This truth will have it's manifesto
tion in better human belief, namely,
In the belief that you are able to pay
your debts, and then through the
means wherewith to pay them. Fun
damentally 1t is never money we lack.
It is love, fearlessness, confidence,
spirituality, and this lack can always
he overcome by the counter claim to
abundance Of love, ability, trust and
intelligence, which are yours as the
reflection Of God. Because supply is
wholly spiritual and mental, the more.
you use it the more you have Of It.
For instance, the more you use love
the more love you have to use. The
more intelligence you have to use. You
can never use up your spiritual supply
Of honesty, love, justice and intelli-
gence. This ever-increasing supply
of spiritual qualities has it's coincident
manifestation to the human senses in
increased assurance Of the ability to
dc right, and this in turn is external
lied in the means with which to do
right. For whatever is entertained in
thought has its GENERALIZATION. If you
find yourself owing anybody anything,
this is but an indication that you need
TO love more. Fear, envy, resentment,
hatred, have never paid debt.

MORE TO POTATOES THAN
MEETS THE SCALES

Which is the most fattening-a big
juicy apple, a large orange, medium
sized baking powder biscuit, or a
medium sized baked potato? Anyone
who answers "all the same" rates
100 per cent. These four foods are
equally fattening. Each contai 8
about 100 calories. Nutritionists of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
add that the "spuds' have some 9TH
err values that merit consideration,
even from those on a reducing diet.
A white potato is more than three
fourths water-78 percent, on the
average. Only II to FL percent Of it
is starch-accounti for the 100
calories in the medium sized potato.
Weigh for weight potatoes have one
fourth as much vitamin G as oranges
or lemons, and supply some vitamin
A, thiamine, and ribofiavin. Potatoes
are also a good source of two min
erals-iron and phosphorus.
For all these reasons nutritiOnists
include potatoes in all standard meal
plans for families. The Bureau of
Human Nutrition and Home Econ
omics commends serving potatoes
white or sweet, whichever is album
dant in the local market-at least
9 or 10 times a week. In low-cost
meal plans they recommend serving
potatoes II or IL times week. For
a family of the weekly marketing
void call for an average of 10 or IL
pounds Of potatoes, since each
pound of potatoes serves 8 or A
persons.
