SUDDEN DISASTER
AND CONSTANT DISEASE

The nation has been shocked by
another appalling disaster. this
time in Pennsylvania. A dam,
built across narrow gap between
two hills to hold back a vast
volume of water suddenly gave
way. The food poured down the
valley, carrying dealt, and des-
truction with it. About 40 lives
we're lost in a few minutes. A
wave Of sympathy swept over the
country. Reu Cross physicians
and nurses fastened to the srene.
Food, clothing, hospital supplies
and money pouei in to the death
swept valley. Special trains loaded
with supplies and men started for
the town almost as soon as the
news of The disaster was received.
The State Of Pennsylvania and
the entire nation. if necessary,
stood ready to relieve suffering
and to save life without regard to
the cost in labor or money. All
this is right; nor should it be
otherwise says The Journal of the
American Medical Association.
Yet how strange that our sympa.
thies should be aroused to inn
mediate and purposeful action by
the loss of 40 lives in sudden and
unusual. when we are callous and
Indifferent to the fate of thous-
ands who die from preventable
but familiar causes. A Johnstown
flood, an lroquois fire, San Fran
cisco earthquake, will CONFUSE
the word with horror, yet the
death from preventable diseases
of over 100000 people in the
United States etch year excitles
little interest. The newspapers
announced the Austin disaster with
front page "stories" and enormous
headlines, yet the United States
Census report for 1908 (the last
one available) shows that in that
yer in Pennsylvania alone, 2,450
people died of typhoid. 1920 Of
diphtheria. 8.703 of tuberculosis,
and that 9,026 infants under year
of age died of infantilr diarrhea,
d totcl mortality Of 222,G99 from
only for preventable diseases in
only one state. So accustomed
are we to these enormous losses
through familiar diseases. that we
accept them as a matter of course
and a the inevitable lot of man.
kind. Yet each of these diseases
is as preventable as was the Austin
flood.

TOO MUCH PUBLIC PROFANITY

The follwing clipping from an
exchange applies to Elko as we'll
as to nearly every town we know
of. "There ought to be some way
to stop the use Of profanity and
vulgar words on the streets. often
in the presence of women and
children" said q man recently.
men stopping on the corners
waiting for cars. men going along
the streets, drivers of vehicles,
are often too wont to rurse loudly
and sometimes use obscene and
Vicious language. They are over
heard by passers by, and in hot
weather, when the windows Of the
houses are open their words are
carried to the ears of women and
children within.
Some men use profanity
through careIessness. others are
deliberately vulgar without caring
who hears them.
In some cities there are ordi-
nances against splitting on the
sidewalks. 1t seems to me that
profanity and obscenity are far
more Objectionable. If drivers who
curse each other were reported
to their employers. IF street
corner loafers who delight in
shocking passersby were arrested,
and II the thoughtless user Of bad
language was reprimanded great
good would be accomplished. I
have often heard profanity
on street cars the listener accept
ing it as necessary evil. !

MUCH WORK STATE OFFICE

One Of the busiest Offices in the
State building is the State
Engineer. Work has piled up
good and deep and it is keeping
the entire force on the hustle to
keep the decks cleaned. 1t be-
came necessary to place q
m echanical dcaug htsman to work,
and Mr.. Herman Hulle, who was
formerly employed at the office
was brought down from Virginia
City and placed on the plan table
where he is busy with all kinds
of work in this line.
Thls is one of the Offices that is
about self-sustaining. as the appli-
cation for water rights and all
sich work calls for a fee which
about runs the Office. Since the
establishment Of the State
Engineers Office a great amount
Of surveying, adjusting and
measuring Of water has gone irto
effect, while many a dispute be-
tween water owners and impending
litigation has been settled outside
the courts.
While there Is world of work
left that is to he performed in this
Office the effects Of the good work
can be judged by picking up
nearly any state exchange and
note the publication for either
water rights or some such state
endorsement. Appeal.

WARNING

IN FIRE

The fire at the Hamilton Insane Asy-
lost and n longer list of fatalities pre-
vented only by the desperate bravery
of the attendants, Is a striking sugges-
tion of the holocaust that may at amy

Insane Mt Morris Plains, the appalling
congestion of which has been made
public by the Evening STAR.
Dr. Britton d. Evans, superintendent
Of the Morris Plains institution, ex-
planned to an Evening STAR reporter
today the fire peril that exists at the
State Hospital.
"The great danger" he said, Ties
in having large crowds of patients to-
gether. 1t Is easy enough to get out
In an orderly manner from properly
built places where the patients are
kept separated in small groups and
can be readily handled.

cases. How hard it Is to handle them,
