STUCK IN BIG SWAMP
SAD STORY OF THREE MONTGOM-

They Startled the Natives of LOwndes County for Awhile, but the Mud Was Waiting.

Way down somewhere in Lowndes County there are three Montgomerians who have little sunshine in their hearts.

 Yesterday morning they blithely set vehicles were running with the same regularity that Sysonby is pulling down $50 900 stakes and with the same speed that the Climbers are going to the top
 Fort Deposit was their destination. Fort Deposit Is in Lowndes County and Lowndes County has few roads that would make the Appian way blush
 But the blithe three knew 1t not. Their autos were running smooth, the air was braclnBt Lnelr Dreak1ast nau been satisfying. Fort Deposit would be reached In the time 1t takes to tell about it.
 But unknown to the three gentlemen aforesaid, Jupiter Piuvius had been busy in the good old County of Lowndes. The farmers had been crying for rain to cease, but it hadn't.
 Percy Black, Nose Stuart and Laban Tyson became cognizant of the fact.
 Down in the swamp lands during rains, OK teams find difficulty in trav- cling, but galy the autos sped for about mile. Then things began to do about. Or, rather, things ceased to do about. The mud clung to the ma- chimes like hungry individual. whose opulence is imaginary, clings to the festive free lunch counter.
 The autos began to act like Opper's Maud and refused to go. Then they tried showing Nothing doing. For even as they failed as chauffeurs they were selling platers as showers.
 Midday found them in the swamp. About o'clock yesterday afternoon they realized they were hungry. A walk of four miles for some fat meat and corn bread didn't add to their cheer, when they thought of the things at home.
 Last night telephone message was received. Stuck in the mud Waiting for roads to dry. May be back before the stegomyias leave New Orleans"

rotary of war a reply to critf-
clsfns made on its conduct OF af-
fairs on the IsthmuS of Panama by
Dr. g a. L Reed in a, letter to the
secretary dated March .. The CHARGES
are considered in detail Taking up DR..

the health department, the commission
says: That DR.. Reeds assertion that
huch OF the report on a plan of organ
lzatIon was formulated over the re-
Specttul protest of the medical men. is
without any foundation whatever.
ModlhcauOns of the suggestions sub
m1tted by the medical staff We're made
from day TO day until a plan accepta-
ble 10 both the commission and to the
medical staff was worked out which
must stand on its merits" They say
that the organization of this depart
ment was perfectly satisfactory to the
sanitary officer and his associates.
The commissioners fatty cOntradicted
Dr. Reeds statement that authority to
purchase an N-ray outfit in Washing
ton was denied
The salaries of medical officers on the
isthmus are quoted to refute the charge
that the commission wants cheap doc
tors there.
. Exception is taken to Dr.. Reed
structures on the salaries paid clerks.
The commission says that their sys-
tenn contemplates an advance of about
= per cent in salaries paid in the Unit
ed States and that the plan has been
very carefully worked out.

reference is made to the efforts Of
the commission to introduce a whole

way of killing off mosquitoes and pre-
venting fever in Panama. Much at
tentiOn is given to other efforts of the
commission to stamp out fever in that
city. and 1t is claimed that in this work
the commission has acted up to the
entire limit of its authority"
ON the subject Of sanitation the COM

The commission understand the i'm
