States Sales Tax
Totalizes $1,115,7OO

James J. Lacy, State Comptroller,
stated today that 81 100000 had
been received thus far from those
who had filed Maryland retail sales
tax returns for the month of July.
Returns continue to come in from
various parts of the State covering the
sales tax for July, but due to the fact
that many merchants did not receive
their copy of the monthly form until
August /, they are late in forwarding
collections.
Because of the diverse character of
the business of those holding licenses,
it is impossible to place any average
on the amount to be received per re-
turn, and thus predict with any ac-
curacy the final total to be collected
Several thousand returns will be
received without any collections be-
cause licenses are used in many in
stances for the sole purpose of issu-
ing "resale certificates"

anent armory can be erected, and the
arrangement for public meeting to
select the branch of service desired

Mr.. Hamill says he has practically
been assured of the "work-shop"

ton with the High School plant, near
Winters Dairy, on Sth street for
temporary quarters, and possibly the
donation of the required amount for
the permanent building in the
vicinity of the "work shop, which
ground belongs to the Board of Edu-
cation of Garrett County.

by 200 feet Of ground will be made by
the Post for the erection of the per-
manent armory in case the Board Of

ground on the hill. This information
comes from Mr.. Hamill, who states
that he had been advised by Legion
officials and members that neces-
sary amount of ground is available
on the property now owned by the
legion facing the old Deer Park road
and running along Fourth street in
Oakland.

individuals be present at next Tues

little office two more patients were
brought in, making it necessary to
move Mrs. Soloman to another room

The victims were Mrs. Gussie
Groves and niece, Dorothy, who was
visiting her aunt and who lives in

Lightning found its way to the Gel
lar however, and near where Mrs
Groves and her neice were huddled,
was a pump and from it or to it
seemed to pass the bolt Of fire which
badly burned Mrs. Groves left arm,
and pierced her left leg in two places.
Dorothy, while not burned on the
arm, suffered like punctures on the
right leg and both suffered great
shock, having been rendered uncon-
scious for period of time. Both suf-
fered terrific headaches, incident to
shock.
After the busy evening, and real
izing the Importance of light in his
community, and being unable to use
the telephone which had been dis
abled by the storm, DR.. Sollals drove
to Oakland to report the power fail
ure in Deer Park. 1t takes "many
specialists" to make one good country

A Country Doctor Has A Busy Evening
Dr. E. Solars Works Just AS Well Without Electric Lights;
Ate, is Three Patients; One Is Auto Victim, Two
Others Are Struck BY Lightning

The day of the country doctor has
not passed, nor will it pass in the
years to come, but rather as time
goes on will the nation be more con-
WINGED than ever that it takes "many
specialists" to make one good country
doctor.
Light was shed on this subject in
noble manner during and after the
terrific storm of Tuesday night when
the little office in the home of Dr. E.
E. Sollars, in the village of Deer
Park, was used by the Doctor under
adverse conditions to care for the in
jured who needed medical attention.
At an early period after the storm
broke, light and power lines in Deer
Park failed, thus throwing the doc
tors office into complete darkness.
preparedness" having been the
motto of the country doctor years be-
fore the Boy Scout movement came
into existence, was solely responsible
for rays of light again to flow
through the little office by the use of
fashlight augmented by candles
which are always on hand just for
such emergencies.
Shortly after a single candle had
been lighted in the little office, Clyde
Campbell, a resident of Deer Park,
appeared at the office with Mrs.
Grace Soloman, also of Deer Park, a
daughter of Guy Gibson, who had
been injured in an automobile wreck
near the B. and 0. station in Mt.
Lake Park, and while an ambulance
had been dispatched from Oakland
for the injured woman, Campbell
happened to come along, and recog-
nize the woman, took her in his car
to Deer Park.
Mrs. Soloman suffered painful in
juries. Her mouth had been badly cut
and many bruises were found on her
body. DR.. Sollars dressed her wounds
