HOOKWORM RACES
 IN HOUSTON COUNTY
Dr. Perry Himself Surprised at
 Dothan Conditions
CHURCH WORKERS MEET
Montgomery City Court Fight to He Carried to Supreme Court--It Is Said Railroad May Raise
 Salary of Employees

Montgomery, December 1o.-(Special) Appalling statistics are presented in 1 the informal report of Dr.. H. G. Perry,
 one of the field workers of the Rocke- 1 feller hookworm commission, who says that about 35 per cent of the pupils attending public school at Dothan, In
 Houston county, arc infected with
 hookworms The physician announces
 that examinations made by him and by
 pr. J. K Orr, another of the field
 workers in Alabama, are conclusive of
 the great need that Is felt in the state for a thorough hookworm treatment In every district.
 | Drs. Perry and Orr have been at work l In Houston county for more than two weeks treating patients who have been l brought to the attention of the state,
 and their work is just now getting well under way. Both of the field workers are enthusiastic over the results of l their labor so far, but both are equally
 as enthusiastic over the Humanitarian steps that are being taken in all of
 the southern states to eradicate the pest.
 In submitting an informal report to LIT w. w. Dl0SlnOTe, Sldl6 supervisor l of the Rockefeller hookworm commits sion, Dr. Perry says that all of the | counties around Houston are more and probably SIS badly in need oi medical
 attention as the county of Houston.
 We were surprised to find hookworms as prevalent in Dothan as our report shows" Dr. Perry said, Thence it is
 easily to be inferred that the immedi-
 ate section surrounding Dothan is also
 infected"
 | Emaciated specimens of individuals
 who are possessed of the hookwor
 are not common in the county, accord ing to Dr. Perry, though he admits that
 several of the patients who are now undergoing treatment were fast becom- l ing debilitated as a result of the in
 roads made by the disease.
 1 Prevalence of the parasites in Houston
 county, and the dire reports which Dr. Dinsmore is receiving from other sections | of Alabama, will in all probability re- l suit in immediate appointment of two | other field workers to assist in the Ala bama campaign Nominations have al- ready been sent to the Rockefeller com
 mission at Washington, but so far the
 remaining two field workers have not been confirmed.

Memphis, December -(Special.-Busi- ness men today began activities towards prolonging the stay of the international aviators, headed by John B. Moissant. A committee of the Business Mems club are busy securing subscriptions to fund necessary to retain the flyers for few days longer. The sum of s5OA, was subscribed by the bureau of publicity to- day and it Is thought a purse of several thousand dollars will be made up in the next few days.
 It is planned by the business men to have flights made up and down the river and over the new cotton exchange build ing at such attitudes as spectators can get a good view of the machines.
 John B. Moissant, while over 2O00 feet in the air In his monoplane, suddenly shut off his engine and shot toward the earth at a terrific speed. To many spec tators it looked like the man could not possibly save himself. Moissant knew his game, however, lighted his machine a short distance above the ground and landed easily.
 Barrier gave another exhibition of al titude flying with plenty of other spec tacular features for good measure. Fris- lie. in a biplane, was in the air at the same time with Barrier early in the ait ernoon. The big biplane worked per fectly. Frisbie flew high and then 10" around the course a number or times al a high rate of speed.

SPECTACULAR TRIP
 MADE BY WILLARD
Aviator Flies Over Los An
 geles and Pasadena
SPLENDID TIME IS MADE
Facing Great Difficulties In Atmos- pheric Conditions Willard Makes Trip of Over Fifty Miles
 Very Successfully

Los Angeles, Cal, December 1o.-(Spe- oial.)-Under perilous weather conditions, marked with shifting, smoke-holding and freak air currents, Charles Willard made most successful flight in an aeroplane over the cities of Los Angeles and Pasa- dena today travelling in all a distance of 55 miles. In his flight he circled over the business district of Los Angeles and then passed over to Pasadena and re- turned to his starting place at the out skirts of Los Angeles. His flight was witnessed by thousands of people who watched him from the tops of buildings and the streets of the city.
 The estimated distance of the trip was
 5 miles, the highest altitude attained So0 feet and the fastest time made by Will lard during the flight Is estimated at 66 miles an hour.
 With heavy fog falling and threaten ing clouds overhead, Willard made two preliminary flights with his new biplane at the western outskirts of the city be- fore starting on his flight across the city and over to Pasadena.
 working perfectly, the machine sailed upward at 10:S6 o'clock. After circling around Westlake park twice at an alti- tude of approximately 9Ooo feet, Willard then flew across the business district of the city. After leaving the business district he flew northward almost to Mt. Wilson coming close to the range of mountains that his machine was caught In the upward draught induced by the mountain contour. He then turned and scared over the city of Pasadena, where witnessed Returning from Pasadena, he flew over Los Angeles again, and to the start ing point He made a perfect landing at 40 o'clock, within few feet from where he had started. He shut off the en- zine while in the air, and like huge bird glided to earth, where he was met with many cheering friends and many congratulations.
 Willards flight is considered most suc- cessful from the fact that the weather conditions were more perilous than they have been in months. A light rain had been pouring down previous to the start of the flight and at the time of the start heavy mist was falling. Dark clouds lined the skies and considerable doubt was expressed as to the flight being made.
 Willard after landing stated that dur ing the flight it was almost impossible 10 discern landmarks after ascending 1000 feet The rain pelted him in the face and almost blinded him, he said, and the mountain ridges seemed mere strips of black.
 Willards sister, Miss Emil Willard of New York, who came to Los Angeles to see his flight was among the first to congratulate her brother. Glenn H. Cur tss was very enthusiastic over the suc- cessful trip.
 The machine Willard used was bi- plane of the Curtiss type with rigid wings, equipped with a seven-cylinder rotating 5o-horsepower Gnome engine.

announced his intention of so doing lm- rediately upon reception of Judge Gam ble's decision in this city on Saturday
 In sustaining the demurrers interposeu hv Gaston Gunter to the brief of Judge Thomas, Judge Gamble held that the pc tition of Judge Thomas did not set Iortn sufficient reasons for the removal or Judge Gunter.
 Not only is the old street tax law which WAS in effect in Montgomery invalid, but the amended bill is likewise invalid, ac- cor1ing to Judge Armstead Brown, asso- ciate fudge of the city court of Montgom- cry who has just had occasion to pass upon the measure. Attack was made on the amended ordinance on the ground that If was intended to take the place of the general road law, and on the further ground that it was in conflict with the general duty as provided by the state III that it did not leave it optional with the citizens whether they would work the streets or pay the money. In all proba- bility appeal will be taken by the ci'y' the original street tax measure now oe- ing in the supreme court.
 Report has 1t in Montgomery that sal aries in all departments of the Lou1sviiie and Nashville railroad will be raised about January 1, and that the common ce rrier has already taken steps wherepy the raises will put the road in the 1ront ranks of those paying the best stipehos to their employees. On November general increase was granted to the train men on the system.
