 Corporation Counsel Maurice T. Healey argued today that the jury could not reasonably have found on the facts that a nuisance ex- isted and that it was the proximate cause of the injuries.
 He also claimed the court made errors in the charge, and that the jury was misled by elimination of certain defense made by the city.
 The city is liable only for such negligence as would constitute nuisance, the corporation counsel stated, adding the jury was led to believe the city was responsible for ordinary negligence. The jury also was given the impression the city had no right to put the traffic stan- dard there, through elimination of the special defense, it was claimed.
 Attorney Healey stated the city did not create a nuisance since it had right to place limited ob- struction and to put slight incon- venience to slow down traffic. If the city had that right the traffic stan- dard can not be considered a rluis- snce, the lawyer argued.
 Mrs DaLahunta won a verdict of $10,000, while Mrs. MacKeever was awarded $500. Edwin Mac Keever was given verdict of B ,O00. A fourth plaintie, Paul DeLahunta lost his case, the jury evidently find ng he was guilty of contributory negligence DeLahunta was driver H the car.

SEASON FOR INCUBATION

Protection against typhoid fever
is in order now, at the beginning of
the vacation season." DR.. r. II. Riley
Director Of the State Department Of
Health, reminds Marylanders who
are planning to enjoy outdoor acti-
vities during the summer months.
Warm weather-with it's emphasis
upon camping, swimming and picnics
in the country--is usually accompan-
led by a seasonal increase in report
ed cases of this disease.
"Immunization against typhoid
fever can be acquired easily and
safely through shots given by a pri-
vate physician or health office.
Three inoculations, usually given at
intervals of one week, are customary
The immunity conferred ordinarily
lasts about three years, which means
that the treatment should be repeat.
ed every third year for continuous
protection. Since it takes time for the
immunity to become thoroughly es-
tablished, persons who have not been
vaccinated against typhoid fever
since 1912 are advised to go to their
physicians for immunization some
wkat in advance of their outdoor va
cations.
Comm munity measures to safe
guard milk and food and provide
safe water supplies have greatly re-
duced the incidence of typhoid fever
in recent years. The value of improv-
ed sanitation is known, because it is
an established fact that every case
results from consuming food, milk
or water contaminated with human
excreta bearing the disease-produc-
ing germ-discharge from an i'll
patient or from an apparently normal
carrier who has recovered from the
disease but continues to discharge
it's germs. Supervision of known car
riers has also helped to prevent the
spread of this disease.
''Tke success of these control mea-
sures should not, however, give resi-
dents of this State the false impress
sion that personal immunization is
no longer desirable" DR.. Riley
warns. "The remote and secluded
spots sought for picnics and camping
trips are often far from safe food
and milk or approved water supplies.
Water that looks clear and clean may
be dangerous to drink deliberately
or to swallow while swimming. Even
in more closely supervised areas, and
in spite of precautions, there is dam
ger of infection from some unsus-
pected source. Inoculation is strongly
recommended for thase who want to
participate in the seasons outdoor

a large as a postage stamp, that of
a dog, if spread out, would cover
more than half its skin. Much the
same relations obtain in the portions
of the brain devoted to smell. In man
the olfactory area occupies one
twentieth of the medal surface of
the brain, while in a dog this area is
more than one-third of the inner
wall of the brain.
Reporting on experiments abroad,
Science Service says a dog can de-
tect solution of formic acid even if
it contains one part acid to ten mil
lion parts water. Dogs have also de-
tected scents in other solutions of
acids so weak as to be quite odorless
to man. In another type of expert
ment, a young German Shepherd
female was used to retrieve a small
piece of pine wood handled by her
keeper The keeper held the piece of
wood in his hand for just two Sec
onds, and then placed it with forceps
among a dozen or more identical
pieces which he had not touched. The
dog was allowed to sniff the keepers
hand and told to bring her piece of
wood. In every trial, she picked the
right piece.

Frequent Care Adds
To the Life of Shoes

Both men and women can keep
their work and dress shoes attrac-
tive and add to their wearing time
by good cleaning and frequent pol
ishing of the leather. Saddle soap
is recommended for cleaning most
feathers. Calf, kidskin and alligator,
the smooth feathers, generally react
better to paste, cream and wax
liquid polishes. Suede and gabar-
dine, of course, require dressing
especially made for nappy feathers
and fabrics.
Leathers should be wiped clean be-
fore any polish is applied. Buf1ng
after polishing will bring up gloss,
even though the label on the cleaner
may state that buffing is not neces-
sary. If you're planning to put
leather shoes away for any length
of time, a good saddle-soaping is
recommended to keep them from
drying out.
Since patent leather has tenden-
cy to crack, especially when it is
drying out after a soaking, occasion
al application of petroleum jelly is
suggested. The excess should be
wiped away with a tissue or soft
cloth.

SUGAR STRETCHING
SUGGESTIONS

Judging from the rumblings from
War Food Administration, sugar al
lotments for the season are due to
be even smaller than expected. Such
being the case, Margaret McPheeters,
University of Maryland Extension
nutritionist, realizing that five
pounds of sugar per person for per-
iod of four months will call for care
full planning, suggests these tips for
stretching sugar to the limit:
l. Extra juices from canned or
cooked fruits be saved for use in
sauces for puddings and fritters; to
moisten and sweeten crumbs for
brown betty; to flavor and sweeten
gelatin desserts; or to moisten and
sweeten diced fresh fruit in fruit
cup.
2. Crumbs from cake and cookies
saved and used in bread puddings
will halve the sugar required.
3. Use marmalade, jam or pre-
serves on cake instead Of frostings.
Instead of frosted cakes, serve jelly
rolls, custard-filled rolls, or Boston
cream cake. Make sheet cakes in
stead of layer cakes as they require
only half as much frosting.
Dried fruits, rich in natural sugar,
add sweetness to desserts; hence fill
layer cake with chopped dried fruit,
mixed with nuts and moistened with
honey or corn sirup. Steamed dried
fruits make good fruit whips or fill
ings for pies, turnovers or tarts. In
the center of baked apples or pears,
use raisins and corn sirup or honey,
instead of sugar.
5. Serve fresh fruits for dessert
instead of sweets.
6. A bit of salt added to frostings,
pie filings, and puddings will accen-
tuate the sweetness.
z. Less sugar will be needed to
sweeten cooked fruit if sugar is
added after instead of before cook
ing.

THE DOGS SENSE
OF SMELL TRULY
IS REMARKABLE

It's his remarkable sense of smell
that gives the dog those unique quail
itics for which he has been priced
through the centuries, states the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
In zoology, animals are sometimes
divided into two groups-visual and
olfactory animals. Man today is, of
course, visual being; with the as
sumption of an upright position and
the raising of the head from the
ground, his olfaciory sense has de-
Perforated. But the dog is first Of all
an olfactory animal. A dog lives,
feels, loves and hates exclusively by
its sense of smell. Sever his olfactory
nerves and he loses practically all his
canine virtues, such as vigilance, obe-
dience and affection.
In his book, MAN in Structure and
Function" the German writer Fritz
Kahn gives the physical basis which
makes the dog truly olfactory ami
NAL. He compares the dogs olfactory
mechanism with that of man. He
finds that while the olfactory mucous
membrane of the human nose is only

siderable amount of jam. Jams are
easy on sugar. A good one can be
made by using one-half pound
sugar and one-third pound of corn
sirup to each pound of capped ber-
ries. Jams need to be cooked a
little longer when corn sirup is used.
They should be cooked in small
patches and stirred often.
Berries without Sugar
When one runs out of sugar, ber-
ries (any kind) may be cleaned,
crushed and stewed in their own
juice until thick, then canned by
processing 10 minutes in hot-water
bath Gamer. Strawberries, pre-
pared in this manner have an ugly
color but will brighten up to some
extent later on when sugar is added
and the mixture boiled down to Vic
tory jam Notwithstanding not
quite so thick as usual. Two cups of
sugar are needed for making one
quart of crushed berries into jam.
Here is helpful hint. A spoon or
two of juice from those beets you
canned won't change the flavor but
will help the color of jam made
from canned strawberries.
The midland journal., 1945-06-22

Blueberries, huckleberries, black
berries, dewberries, elderberries
and many others are far more use
full than strawberries and can
beautifully without one speck of SUI
gar. Most of them can best when
heated slowly until the juice runs
free before they are turned into
jars for processing, but blueberries,
especially if they are to be used in
mullins and the like, are nicer when
canned by a recipe we found in
the Ball Blue Book.
Place two or three quarts clean
blueberries in square of cheese
cloth. Hold the cloth by the cor
ners and dip into boiling water
until spots appear. Then dip quickly
in and out of cold water. Pack into
hot jars. (Add neither sugar nor
liquid.) Process 20 minutes in hot
water bath.
Wild blackberries have always
been a favorite with home Gamers
but the equally useful elderberry is
likely to be left to the birds. That
when elderberry pie is so wonder
full Good cooks usually touch it up
with a spoonful of lemon juice or
vinegar.
We like elderberries and most
others best when canned with some
sugar, but sugar shortages GER
tainly won't stop us if we can beat
the birds to the berries.
The midland journal., 1945-06-22

insist upon most of it being granu-
lated. When going into jams or pre-
serves, they will tolerate the substi-
tuition of corn sirup or corn sugar for
about one-third of the regular sugar
called for in the recipe.
These pampered pets of the gar
den can't stand up and jell without
the aid of sugar and pectin. Some
of them need lemon juice too. They
will not behave right when canned,
unless granted more sugar than any
other berry wants; then after they
get it, they must be petted along
or they fade, flatten, and float.
According to Gladys Kimbrough,
Home Service Director for Ball
Brothers Company, glass jar COM
pany with headquarters at Muncie,
Indiana, "Tart strawberries with
small core and deep red color
throughout are less popular with
the general public than the sweet,
feather-weight ones, but are far
the better for canning and preserv-
ing"
Miss Kimbrough advises home
Gamers to forget about preserves

more plentiful and make up a con-

Controls Moss

Underwater weeds, or moss, in
farm ponds can usually be controlled
by proper fertilization. Pond owners
confronted with a moss problem are
advised to apply 200 pounds of 6-84
plus 20 pounds of nitrate of soda Cor
equivalent) for each acre of water,
beginning in January and repeating
at intervals of from 2 to 4 weeks
until a satisfactory color is obtained
or until the weeds begin to die and
float; do not apply fertilizer to the
pond while masses of dead weeds
are floating on the pond late in the
spring or early in the summer. An
oxygen shortage might be caused,
resulting in harm to the fish; apply
throughout the summer and fall
100 pounds 6-8-4 plus 10 pounds of
nitrate of soda per acre as recon-
mended for fish production, and
ponds having an excessive water
supply are not suitable for the use
of fertilizer.
