The closing yesterday of the third an
nual exhibition of small bronzes by
American sculptors at the Macbeth CAL
lcry emphasizes anew the growing ap-
probation for work in three dimensions
among those who enjoy what art can
bring TO them. 1t was not SO long ago
that the only field for sculptors was por-
trait work, with an occasional monu-
mcnt. In recent years, however, there
has grown up Il measurable demand for
small pieces Of sculpture dcnoting the
exercise of the artists creative magma
ton. In the Macbeth exhibition the
range of subjects was large enough to
include classic and NEUROLOGICAL figures,
animals at play and in combat, children
amusing themselves, cowboys on horse
back, types Of the virtues and score OF
other themes, in which pose and move

genuine feeling for tho subject and for

TAKE TREATMENT
Remarkable Progress of Cru
sade Against HookWorm in
North Carolina

Reports from the physicians Of the
State and from the physicians CON
Quoting the State and county free dis
pensaries for hookworm disease, show
that since the work began twenty-one
months ago upwards of forty-fiTe
thousand people have been treated.
Nearly half of this number has been
treated in the free d~ispensaries of
thirteen counties since July 1st. In
the State there are 1900 physicians,
1900 Of them are active prac-
titieners, 1900 OF them have sent in
written accounts of their experience
with the disease, and 500 Of them,
representing all sections Of the State,
have been actively engaged in treat
ing the disease. Twenty-Five coun-
ties have already made provision for
the d~ispensaries, besides those APP
prOpriating for the dispensaries the
first Monday in December.
T~hirty-six thousand people have
been microscopically examined for
hookworm disease. A large number
of those treated had such heavy in
lection hat the microscopic exami-
nation was not necessary. There is
found now little difficulty in securing
cooperation on the part of the peo-
pie and county commissioners, where
good results of the work can be seen
or heard Of.
