If Justification of age is a base
ball crime there are a lot of guys
in the game who long ago would
have been ousted. It took the
draft to bring out the real ages of
some of the players, and in days
gone by there were some perform
ers whose birth date always was
more or less of MYSTERY to the
public.
Other sports have had age
troubles, but there always was
some legitimate reason for agru-
ment. High schools have age limits
for athletes to keep perennial

In some states there are rules
concerning the participation of
lads under 81 in bouts of certain
lengths, the rules being made to
protect the boys themselves, and
there is the record of one young
figher who had interchangeable
ages, growing a couple of years
older on a ride to the boxing COM
mission office, and shrinking a
couple of years on his way to the
draft board.
Anyway, admitting that cheating
a little on age might be considered
unethical on the part of a pro ball
player, it doesn't seem like
crime worthy of disbarment. We'd

CHRISTMAS

With. war touching so many homes,
and members of families in service,
Christmas this year may not be the
Joyous occasion it has always been
for many.
But still it is ever day OF nope.
It brings the promise of better fu-
ture. It witnesses to something that
lives behind the shadows that darken
the present.
Happiness, we are told, comes
from within. The doing for others
brings joy to you, as we'll as others,
and each of us can promote little
good cheer and gladness, even
though it be but the giving of a
bright smile, happy salutation, an
expression of good will.
A mere trifle, perhaps, yet 1t can
carry with it that which will bring a
feeling of kindliness and joy to an
other. merry Christmas" is what
you make it; the stimulating OF good
will. Let us catck the spirit of Christ
mas not only for the day alone, but
carry q little of it's good cheer and
happiness along with us to other
days in the year.

FHA EXPERT FINDS VAST FUEL
SAVING POSSIBLE IN COUNTY

A total of $S1,668, or enough to
purchase war bonds for every
lamIiies in the county could be saved
N Cecil County, Md, this winter
through the single expedient of in
falling storm windows on all resi-
dntial buildings as a means of con-
aerving fuel
The hgure represents the cost of
.oal, oil and gas which could be so
t-ved in this county as determined
~ formula announced by r. K
Aulman, chief of the Federal IIous-
zig administration mechanical en-
gineering division. Potential savings
tor counties throughout the United
States were made public as part of
a nationwide educational campaign
in which governmental agencies and
committees of industry are co-operat-
ing to direct public attention to the
urgent necessity of saving fuel in
the coming fourth winter of war, Mr..
Thulman said
"The formula, devised for one fuel
saving measure, TIE storm window, a
homely esxample familiar to all,
shows that, in effect, from Cecil
County alone 146,777 more gallons
Of fuel oil and 5,0s4 extra tons of
coal would flow into the war effort,
instead of the chimney, if this one
measure were universally adopted"
Mr. .Thulman said.
"Householders could easily make
their fuel oil supplies last at least 20
per cent longer or make ten tons of
coal do the work of twelve by adopt
ing all of the fuel-saving measures
recommended by heating experts
and government authorities" Mr..
Thulman said. "These measures in
clude insulation of walls and CELL
ings, installation of thermostatic
controls to avoid overheating, wealth
er-stripping of doors, reduction of
normal temperatures in living quar-
ters and reconditioning of heating
plants to assure peak efficiency. Ac-
tually, they all contribute consider
ably to the comfort of the home"
The mathematical formula devised
for computing potential savings, Mr..
Thulman said, takes into account the
number of oil-heated and coal-heat-
ed single and multiple family dwell
ings in each county as reported by
the United States Bureau of Census,
the number of degree days" in each
community estimated by the weather
bureau, and conservative estimates
of average glass areas in various
types of dwellings.

GOVERNOR ADVOCATES BROAD
PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A broad-gauged progressive pro-
gram for the States educational sys-
tenn that would make 1t second to
none in the country has been advo-
Gated by Governor Herbert II. o.
Conor as desirable" Ii Maryland is
to retain its place Of em.nence among
the States in the field of education.
The definite proposals for the bet
terment of the system were annoua-
ced by the Governor as follows:
l.. The extension of public educa-
ton to at least twelve years instead
of the present eleven year course pre-
vailing in 20 counties of the State.
2. The reduction in the attendance
of classes from 40 to 35 pupils, to
provide for greater individual atten-
ton.
8. The increase in salary schedules
of public school teachers. This in
crease would provide that the teach
ers would receive a minimum of
81 500 annually and maximum of
$2,250.
4. Education courses for returning
veterans. Also the retraining of war
workers for civilian jobs.
5. Additional provisions for physi-
cal education and health sprograms
, Vocational courses in agriculture,
home economics, and industrial edu-
cation where needed is evident.
i. Rauio education and expansion
of adult training programs. The ex-
tension of vocational rehabilitation
services. Special additional training
for the physically and mentally ham
dicapped.
7. Study of proposal for self-sup-
porting Junior Colleges.
8. Planning aids to local govern
ments for construction and develop
ment Of school buildings. Programs
urged for greater use of school build
ings for civic and recreational pur-
poses.
Declaring that "the children of
Maryland, botk now and in the future
are entitled to receive the very best
that any State Government can give
by way of educa tion," Governor o.
Conoi Iecdiieu tHdI dS lar DacK as
1910 he appointed the Maryland
State School Survey Commission, to
make thorough study of the future
educational needs of the State.
The improvements and innovations
now recommended, Governor O'Con-
CT said, are result of recent studies
made by State School authorities,
based on the finding of the School
Survey Report.

HOLLY BERRY BELIEFS

AS far back as the Fifth century
Christmas invested holly berries with
a symbolism that helped to keep
sacred memories alive. The crimson
berries symbolized the blood shed on
Calvary by the Founder of the Christ
ian religion; the prickly leaves held
remembrances of the crown of thorns
and the bitterness of the holly bark
was symbolic Of the draught OF
which Christ partook while hanging
on the cross.
Once. in fact, there was a custom
OF making decoction from the bark,
and drinking 1t in the midst of the
Christmas celebration, so that in the
words of an old writer-"Ye shall
not forget the cross as ye rejoice in
the manger."

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL

Christmas Seals enable the Mary
land Tuberculosis Association to car
ry on a modern program against tu-
berculosis. This program covers free
clinics, x-rays, tuberculin testing,
medical research, preventorium, re-
habilitation, and health education.
Tuberculosis is communicable and
Infectious" said Doctor Samuel VOL
man, President of the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association. Therefore, 1t
is important to find those who have
the disease so they can be cured and
will not infect others. In order to find
The disease, the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association, in cooperation with
the State Department of Health,
holds free clinics in every county at
least once a month. The examining
physicians are tuberculosis special
lists. The patients receive X-rays
whenever necessary. Students in var
ious counties are given the tubercu-
lin test to see if they are, or have
been infected. Treatment, when
necessary, is given throughout the
State"
"The Miracle House at Claiborne
is monument to the prevention of
tuberculosis Here, children in con-
tact with the disease, are built up So
they can withstand this contact and
grow up with a better chance of be-
ing forever free or tuberculosis.
What happens after patients have
been cure?" asked DR.. Wolman.
Some employer srefuse to give them
Jobs. An educational program is car
ried out to point out to business men
that there should be no fear in hiring
those cured of tuberculosis because
they have been taught to guard and
take care of their health.
Tuberculosis will succumb to ed l.
cation! Lectures, pamphlets, movies,
radio programs, newspaper and mag
azine articles and exhibits spread the
news that tuberculosis can be pre-
vented and cured. Through this SER
vice tens of thousands of Maryland
ers learn the truth about tuberculo-
SIS" DR.. Wolman explained.
In Maryland, the Negro death rate
from tuberculosis is five times great
er than the white ratee. In addition
to the above activities, special stress
| is put toward helping the Negro. An
Institute for Negro physicians and
teachers is held. Every year, an essay
contest is held for Negro College stu
dents, as we'll as general Negro
Health Education. ALI of these meth
ods help them to help themselves.
'"These are few of the activities
of the Maryland Tuberculosis Asso-
ciation,' concluded DR.. Wolman.
Since 1904, the organization has
been protecting your home from tu-
berculosis. Your home will keep on
being protected through Christmas

HOW ABOUT WAR BONDS?

The last word will not have been
said about the wisdom of buying war
bonds until a common understanding
is reached in the public mind that
The most substantial investments to
be found anywhere are Government
bonds. The loosest-wagging tongues
must admit that the Government of
the United States is 100% safe,
sound and substantial, and that its
securities could not collapse until
everything else went to the bow
vows. This means that war bonds are
better than currency, or gold or sill
ver-because they are in fact United
States money, and they draw small
amount of interest TO rail- purchasers
of bonds.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
DATES BACK TO 354 A. ID.

The earliest celebration of the
birth of Christ, December rs of each
year, took place in the Fourth Cen
tury, and the custom spread from tie
western to the eastern church. Be
fore that date the commemoration oil
Christ's nativity and baptism took
place January G..
First mention of Christmas is
found in Roman document known
as the "Philocalian Calendar" in the
year 354, and the first English cele-
bration of the festival was in 59S,
when St. Augustine baptised 10000
converts.
In SGT, the Council of Tours,
France, declared 12-day festival
from Christmas to Epiphany, and lat
er from 991 to 1915 the laws of Eth
erred ordained that all strife should
cease at Christmas. In Germany
Christmas was established in S13 by
the Synod of Marnz, and in Norway
by King Hakon the Good, in $50.

GOVERNMENTS MUST FACE THE
FACTS
Vnnac
BY j. Il. Jones


Washington, d. c., December 1S-
This dreadful quarrel" between the
United States, Great Britain and Rus
sia should be hailed as lucky cir
cumstance, instead of misfortune.
AS a matter of fact it is a healthy
exchange of views among Nations
that need, more than anything else,
to know what they are all trying to
get at" These three great govern
ments are fighting common enemies
and as 1914 draws to close there is
reason to anticipate early victories.
All United Nations are so differ
emily organized that it is not to be
expected they will agree to arrange
ments that were discussed, but not
agreed upon, by the three chiefs from
Washington, London and Moscow.
There never was war fought that
did not involve the transfer of some
territories from the defeated coun-
tries to the victors. London and Mos
cow expect to share in some of the
spoils. Quite naturally, the Big Three
have not agreed regarding the future
governments in countries like Italy.
Greece, Spain, Turkey and many
other parts of the globe.
AS the facts come to the surface,
it is more than ever clear that in til g
conferences between Roos We t
Churchill and Stain there were more
differences of opinion than there
were agreements Their common OBJ
iectives were victory and permanent
peace.
Our new Secretary of State, Ed
ward Stettinius, decided that it was
time for the great nations to face
the issues, and find ways to create
public opinion that would influence
better understandings and Eelp to in
sure international agreements, when
the time comes to reestablish the
League of Nations, or set up an or
ganization that will be able to en-
force lasting peace throughout our
now war-torn world.
So far as the Department of State
is concerned, it has gone long ways
forward in the last few weeks in uni
ing the nations and improving con-
,itions in diplomacy. The Senator
who declared a few days ago that a
strong stand by the United States is
needed to save the peace, said a
momthful The Washington Govern
nent will fail in it's duties to civiliza-
ion unless it continues to hold the
leadership that still remains in our
nands.
