The Board OF Trade viii support the
/ Health Department IN its fight for the
/ enforcement OF the tuberCulin tests for
/ dairy cows.
/ Its committee on public health has as
sured itself Of the efficacy Of the tu-
/ berculin test, and the wisdom OF its
general enforcement
The board viii also advocate tle en-
actment OF the law pending Oefore
Congress making the test compulsory
and otherwise regulating the produc-
ton and handling Of milk
This was made clear today when
DR.. Percy HickIing, chairman OF the
public health committee. declared the
COZ nittee, after an investigation, had
no. ng further TO recommend than a
reiueration OF previous Endorsements
OF tie Health Departments course.
The board will continue TO advocate
the passage Of the law pending before
Congress. which aims TO make the
/ tuberculin test compulsory for dairy
cattle
High Price Cheapes,.
The committee last night heard A
S Trundle, chairman Of the executive
4 committee of the Milk Dealers As
/ ISOLATION Of Washington, who IS con
Quoting the fight OF that body against
the order issued by Health officer
/ Woodward, making the test compul-
sorry on farmers shipping milk here
! from other States
After hearing the statements last
night Dr. Hickling said today. we
are still convinced that the District
/ had better pay a slightly higher price
| if necessary TO get pure milk rather
/ than pay low price for poor milk.
The Health Department has been
condemned for its delay In enforcing
( the tuberCulin test requirement. but il
seems to me their attitude has been
eminently sane and satisfactory TO
dealer, producer, and consumer alike"
Time Ripe for Action.
The Board of Trades attention was
first called 10 the milk situation. DR.
Hickling said, four years ago, when a
steady increase in the typhoid fever rate
lied 70 an inquiry into the milk supply.
IL was found that milk was being
shipped into Washington from farms
where II was produced under conditions
that were menace 10 the health of the
District.
"The Health Department then COM
n1enced the work OF cleaning up these
j farms. 1t took no drastic action, but
went about il. point by point, until the
farms shipping milk here are meeting
satisfactorily all sanitary requirements
| The time has now come for the en-
I forcement Of the tUberculin test.
Dr. Hickling said the committee made
particular inquiry into the increased
/ cost Of producing milk
we found that, while the cost OF feed
and labor has increased, the rates for
shipment from nearby farms was 3 per
can only a few years ago, compared
with 50 cents per can now
Loss Not Necessary.
This reduction was brought about
! through the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. II seems to me IL should offset
{ the other expenses.
I'VE are convinced that 2 large num-
/ Der of farmers are today producing milk

STALKED BY VULTURES.
While Man Trailed a Buck the Bird,
Followed the Man.


Followed the Man.
II met with curious and not alto
gcther pleasant experience" writes an
Anglo-lndian correspondent who has
done good deal OF large and small
game shooting In India. when was
one day stalking black buck. Be
tween me and my quarry lay large
fat field OF black cotton soil bordered
by very low. struggling and thinly
growing hedge OF small babul trees
My only way TO get a shot was TO cross
this, keeping the bushiest tree between
me and the buck. which had not much
TO browse on and was therefore seldom
motionless. proceeded to do the hun
dred yards on the fat OF my stomach.
This on loose. hard baked black cotton
soil was no joke. pushed my rife on
ahead Then, wriggHng past IL until the
muzzle was near my knee. would pass
IL on In front again, and so on.
Progress was slow. and | was so
absorbed that failed TO observe shad-
ows crossing and recrossing my path
and circling around until / had gone
some flfty yards. Then the whirring
OF wings attracted my ears. and al
most ut the same moment a vulture
landed on the ground not twenty yards
away. i looked up. The air was
alive with these repulsive looking
birds. Then it flashed across me that
l was being stalked. Doubtless these
birds were attracted by my extraor-
binary method OF procedure and mis-
took me for a wounded or dying man
making final effort TO reach some
shady spot This was especially posi-
bic. as the experience occurred In a
famine district where deaths by the
wayside We're not infrequent BY look
ing up / had evidently shown myself
TO the buck. for he was now of at full
tilt. ! therefore took pot shot at the
vulture at twenty yards but did not
allow for the sighting sufficiently and
missed him. The thought of being
waited for By flock OF vultures while
very much alive and well was. to say
the least, uncanny."-Pan Mall Ga
