At That Hour, Eastern Time, The Sun Touched Tropic Of Capricorn—Southern Clime Given "Six-Month Day." (By Nancy Hanks) When the sun reached its greatest distance south of the equator, at 3.54 P. M. Eastern standard time Sunday last and its rays fell vertically upon the Tropic of Capricorn, in 23% degrees south latitude, winter was ushered in officially in the northern hemisphere. This was also the shortest day of the year in northern latitudes and the longest Halethorpe, of which Rev. Francis J. day of the year in southern latitudes.

At the South Pole, on the contrary, the sun is now at its highest altitude, 23% degrees above the horizon, and it is the middle of the polar day, six months long, during which the sun does not set. It is the season for South Polar expeditions to be abroad and for North Polar expeditions to dig in. To us who live in the Northern Hemisphere it seems strange that the earth should now be, at the beginning of our winter, some 2,000,-000 miles nearer to the sun than it was last June at the beginning of summer. If we lived in the Southern Hemisphere it would probably not seem strange at all, for then we would be nearest the sun in summer and farthest from the sun in win- COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S MESSAGE TO MOTHERS. 525 York Road Towson Towsoo 734 Phone Towson 734 and we'll have your order ready when you call iHIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIlUIBieHIIIUIIIIIIIIIU.illllllllllllllllll 1 ii I R i i E if 1 I 0 fl ?ar AY the joys of the season be yours, and may we express to you our sincere appreciation of your good will with the hope that this confidence shall become stronger in the years to come. I! 1 Here is a message to mothers, and incidentally to the fathers from Dr. Josiah Bowen, County Health Officer. It is applicable all the year round, but it should be especially heeded during the holiday season, when the temptation to over-excitement, to keep late hours and to have too little rest, is even greater than at other times. "Many parents," says Dr. Bowen, "do not appreciate the importance of sleep and rest for infants and young children. Unless a child's nervous system is adequately rested, no matter ^ow carefully its diet may be planned, the child will still be underweight for its age and will not have normal resistance to disease. "Over fatigue is a well known cause of indigestion and loss of weight. Suitable food and sufficient sleep are more or less dependent upon each other. Children expend a great deal of energy and strength in attaining height and weight. Great care must be taken at all times to guard against overstimulation of a child's nervous system. "During the first six months of life, the young infant sleeps, eats and grows. It often requires from twenty to twenty-two hours out of the twenty-four for sleep. During the second half year, sixteen to eighteen hours is necessary; fifteen hours of sleep during the second year, and twelve to fourteen hours of sleep up to the fourth year are not too much. "Young children from two to six years old are often allowed to sit up too long after the evening meal, and so miss long hours of strength-giving sleep. Children, indulged in this way, are apt to be pale, peevish, restless, and irritable; and have poor appetites. "One of the most important features of a young child's daily routine is the midday rest. Very many children under six can not store up in six or eight hours enough surplus energy to 'carry on' happily during twelve houds of constant activity. "All doctors have had to insist upon a midday rest for young children who have been brought to them because of nervousness or indigestion, and have learned that the hour's rest—or sleep, if possible— without any change in diet, will generally restore the children to health. "Even when children are attending two sessions of school, it is often possible to have a child of seven years old rest for half an hour after the midday meal before returning to school. When this is impossible j the rest should be taken immediately j after the afternoon session. Many ; schools caring for young children, I provide for a rest period at midday. j Even if children cannot sleep at this i time, complete relaxation in a quiet | well ventlated room, or, if the sea-j son permits, upon a porch, if of i great benefit." ter, which we would say was quite as it should be. As the earth happens to be moving around the sun in an eclipse instead of a circle, the distance of the earth from the sun varies with the time of year. About January 2 each year it passes through perihelion, or the point of nearest approach to the sun. Its distance from the sun is then about 91,240,000 miles. About July 5 it passes through aphelion, the most distant point in its orbit, and is then about 94,450,000 miles from the sun. One might imagine this would have quite an effect upon the seasons in the two hemisphere, but there are other factors even more effective than such a comparatively small change in distance. Though the earth is nearest the sun at this time of year, it is also moving rapidly for, according to the laws of planetary motion a planet moves most rapidly when it is near the sun, or in perihelion, and most slowly when it is farthest from the sun, or in aphelion. It can be shown, therefore, that the sun is north of the equator in our summer longer than it is south of the equator in our winter, the difference in time amounting to seven days, and that this is due to the variable rate at which it is traveling in its orbit. As a result the Southern Hemisphere receives in its summer season more intense heat for a shorter period than the Northern Hemisphere receives in its summer season, and it can be shown that the total amount of heat received by the two hemisphere during their summer seasons is exactly the same, the longest summer of the Northern Hemisphere counterbalancing the greater intensity of heat of the Southern summer. The winters of the Southern Hemisphere, on the other hand, are longer than the Northern winters, and they occur when the sun is in aphelion, so they should on the whole be colder than the winters of the Northern Hemisphere. But, a? we have said, other factors come here. The Southern Hemisp_ contains far more water su than the Northern Hemisphere, and it is well known that the presence of large bodies of water tends to make tb climate more uniform, for water absorbs heat more readily than land and gives it up more slowly, thus tempering the extremes. Mrs. Isabel S. Korbly filed a bill in the Circuit Court at Towson against her husband, Charles A. Korbly, in which she asks that an alleged deed of trust made to him by her on June 10, 1918, be annulled and set aside. The plaintiff avers that her signature to the deed is a forgery and that she did not learn of its existence until the year 1919, when she at once repudiated it and has ever since endeavored to get possession of the securities comprising the alleged trust fund, consisting of 118 shares of stock in the Madison Hotel Company, Madison, Ind., and 26 shares in the Madison Brewing Company. The plaintiff states that the hotel stock is now valued at about $15,000. William H. Lawrence is the attorney for the plaintiff. $4500 VERDICT RENDERED IN TOWSON COURT. A verdict for $4500 damages was awarded Myron Palen, a minor, by a jury in the Circuit Court at Towson in the trial of his suit against Waltier P. Meinhardt for personal injuries. The boy, who is about 7 years old, sustained a cracked skull and broken leg as the result of being struck by the defendant's autd*mobile on July 10 last while attempting to cross Pennington avenue at its intersection with Cedar street, Baltinfore city.
