Bailor, a 17-year-old negro, was apprehended by county police and is now lodged in the Tow-son Jail charged with using indecent language on a public highway (that of a telephone line). On Saturday last, a holiday, a white woman's telephone bell rang at Riderwood and she answered. From the other end of the line came indecent advances and she immediately hung up the receiver, later calling the operator to ascertain where the call came from. She was informed the call was made at the Court House and from the phone in the office of the County Surveyor, and naturally the woman was indignant. The matter was referred to the police and an investigation started immediately.

M. daily his telephone was. dead, due to the fact that the exchange girl in the Court House connected the line up with the coun: ty jail, and investigation proved to the patrolman that this was correct, for all the phones in the Court House were dead. Further investigations of the telephone switchboard in the Court House showed that the County Agricultural Agent's office in the Offutt Building was on the same system and it was later learned that the call had been made from there, which resulted in the arrest of the negro, who is a son of the janitor of that building, and police allege he confessed.

The 4000 acres of territory surrounding Loch Raven dam will be used as a feeding ground for game, and will be planted in part with soy bean, kaffir corn and buckwheat, it has been stated by the State Game Department. According to the Game Department the City Water Department will cooperate in this way with the State Department in establishing feeding preserves for game during the winter months. The territory around Loch Raven dam has been used from the first as a game refuge, but never has been planted with these crops, Mr. Le-Compte said. Allegany and Garrett county farmers in general have cooperated with the department in sowing small pieces of lands with these crops for game to feed on. Farmers in other section of the State have ignored our request to make this small planting. Sowing a small strip of land, even one-tenth of an acre, would be beneficial, principally to the farmer who can see a few months ahead. These little feeding grounds will bring game from every direction right to the farmer's backyard and in season he can hunt them for his own use. THE NEW ATTRACTION.

MOTOR TO FREDERICK AND HARPERS' FERRY. Mr. W. Gill Smith, with Jimmy, his man "Friday," Dr. Roy P. Smith and George Wilhelm, Mr. Smith's farm manager, motored to Frederick and Harpers' Ferry last Sunday. Dr. Josias Bowen, County Health Officer) If it is a good idea to have your automobile overhauled every now and then—and you certainly will agree to that—it is equally important to pay as much attention to your own human machine. Don't wait until the machine breaks down, or "smashes up." Go to your family doctor and get him to give you a good going over. To keep the human machine in good running order you ought to have a health examination at least once a year. And while you are about it, don't forget the children. To be kept well, babies should be examined at least once a month; the children under school age every six months, or oftener, and the school children at least once a year. Nothing on earth pays such large dividends as an investment in health. Health protection in an intelligent community is a matter of supply and demand. People who have been aroused to an understanding of what they need in the way of such protection will get it, if they insist upon having it. When the members of a community want schools, improved roads, police or fire protection, the first step toward getting what they want is to get together, and the next is to insist upon having what they want and to keep on insisting until they get it. All phases of health protection—the safeguarding of water supplies, disposal of sewage, control of typhoid, malaria, smallpox, diphtheria and other communicable diseases, and along with them all other measures for safeguarding the health of grown-ups and children—< belong in the same class. Any community that insists upon having them, can get them.
