HYGIENE CONGRESS
OPENED TODAY

at This Meeting In the Person
of Dr.. S. w. Moorehead.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %
With thirty-two leading governments
and forty-eight states pouring their
wealth of knowledge to improve pub
lie welfare and to prolong human life
into one common fund for the worlds
use, the fifteenth international con-
gress on hygiene and demography
opened it's weeks session here this

the foremost sanitary authorities in
the world in formal addresses will
contribute the latest discoveries and
methods in their respective countries
In the realm of adding comfort and
years to human life. 1t is expected
that the attendance at the nine sec
tons into which the congress is d.
vided will number five thousand in

and city health officials of this coun-
try.
While the object OF the congress is
to extend the knowledge and improve
the practice of hygiene and public

country which is for the time being
the host of the congress. That the
state and municipal public health Of
ficials of this country attending the
congress will have support outside OF
immediate sanitary circles in seeking
to put into effect various health re-
forms that will be suggested by the
congress is indicated by the action
of large business enterprises in being
represented at the proceedings.
Among these is the association of life
insurance president, which is repre-
sented by its general counsel, r. l..
Cox of New York and by its health
committee as follows: F. w. jenkins,
chairman, Binghamton, N. Y; ]. r.
Clark, Cincinnati, o.; w. F. Dix, New
York; ]. L. English, Hartford, Conn.
j. K. Gore, Newark, N. j.; DR.. A. S.
Knight, New York; E. 8. Scott,
springfield, Ill.
The committee has systematically
subdivided the program of the con.
gress SO that at least one member
will be present at each address OF
interest to 1t. In particular the COM
mittee is following that part of the
work of the congress dealing with the
control of contagious diseases, includ-
ing typhoid fever diphtheria, cerebro-
spinal meningitis, tuberculosis, etc.
with the sanitary aspects of public
water supplies, including the sanitary
control of water sheds, the purifica-
ton of water by storage, water puri-
fication in Europe by biological
methods; water sterilization by chem
ical methods and with the disposal of
sewage and wastes by the various
processes now carried on in the Eu-
ropean countries. Wherever know
ledge as to improved methods is OBJ
tanned it is the intention of the life
insurance interests to systematically
aid constituted authorities in applying
those methods to conditions in this
country. In this way, it is hoped to
improve the mortality experience
among life insurance policyholders.

time by Prof Irving Fisher of Yale

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-At the foot
Of Broadway workmen have removed
one of lower New York's few remain
ing landmarks of the last century and
those who paused for moment to
watch the work realized at last that
the assault of the city authorities on
building line encroachments had
known neither sentiment nor favor
With chisel and drill the workmen de-
molished the stone foundation sup
porting one of the great iron dragons
that for years had adorned the ex-
terror Of the old Washington building
at No. / Broadway, which now knows
no more the two huge ornaments that
reared themselves so long opposite
Bowling Green, on the spot where
Wouter Van Twiller, Petrus Stuyves-
ant and the old Dutch burghers and
burgomasters used to sit and smoke
their evening pipes and where later
stood the house where Benedict Ar
mold had his headquarters before he
turned traitor.
These dragons, clawing their long
iron bodies around twin lamp posts,
spreading wings and tails toward the
crowd hurrying across Bowling
Green, are not by any means the only
landmarks which have been thrown to
the scrap heap by the city's ruthless
order that the building line must be
preserved. Further up Broadway at
the corner of Exchange Alley, men
have already torn away the only relic
of revolutionary days. which had re-
manned down town, save those In
Frances Tavern. Now, In the back
room OF a store at IS Broadway there
Hes discarded and already forgotten
the old black cannon which stood for
many years in front of the building as
a reminder to the preoccupied New
Yorker that there actually had been a
war OF independence.
Probably there would not be so
much reason to feel outraged at this
desecration, were 1t not that block
below, in front of the old Stevens
House, still crouch, safe from molesta-
ton, the two huge lions which once
adorned the British consulate. There
they are, large as life, iron eyes glar-
ing out from before the structure In
which Daniel Webster took his bride.
Iron nostrils distended toward the
passersby, seemingly breathing def
ance on all who dare question their
right to remain.
The cannon which has been remov-
ed, from the marks it is believed to
have formed a part of the Oyster Pas

colonists at the outbreak of the revolu-
tionary war, on the shore of the Hud-

DRAGON Not chIna,s Emblem.

AS shown in its prompt reputation
by the republic of China, the dragon
was not the emblem of China; it was
the emblem of the late imperial fam
lily of Manchus. This Oriental dragon
is one of the powers Of the air, al
though wingless; one Of the forces of
nature which the Taoist religion has
defied. The dragon kings dwell part
ly in water and partly on land; their
shrines are for that reason erected on
river banks. The germ of the dragon
idea in the primitive races inheres in
some persistent memory of the great
er lizards, such as the crocodile of
the warmer waters. The Chinese
dragon being without wings is accord
ingly closer to type than is the winged
dragon of the mythology of our more
remote and northern race. AS late
as the 'Historia animalium" OF Con-
rad Gesner Q56D science believed
that one had but to travel far enough,
say to the more remote defiles of the
Alps, and he would surely encounter
dragons.

Miles, Long and Short.

Considering the size of Switzerland
one might expect mile to be about
as far as one could throw bali. but
the hardy mountaineers think 9,153
yards the proper thing. even when rs
it generally is. ii is very much up hill.
The Swiss is the longest mile Of all,
being followed by the Vienna post
mile of 1926 yards.
The Flemish mile is CISCO yards, the
Prussian 1927 yards, and in Denmark
they walk 9,244 yards and call it a
stroll of a mile. The Arabs generally
ride good horses and call 2,143 yards
a mile, while the Turks are satisfied
with 1926 yards. and the Italians
shorten the distance of mile to 1,766
yards, Just six yards more than the
American has in mind when the agent
waves his hand and blandly remarks

Mother Of Six Fine Babies Glad to
Receive Advice of State
Board.

DR.. ]. N. Hurry, secretary Of th>
state board of health, some time ago
conceived the idea of sending to the
mother of every baby reported at the
end of every month some educational
material from the state board office,
together with polite note wishing the
mother and child well, and offering to
help the mother in any way the board
might do so to enable the baby to be
started right in its life battle. In re-
ply to one of the communications, DR..
Hurry a few days ago received the
following letter:
II would like to inquire as to the
nature of the help you are prepared to
give to the mother of six fine, healthy
youngsters. i doubtless shall wish
advice, as sixty dollars a month
doesn't admit of extensive fees to a
physician, and feel that as woman
who has made the struggle l have to
give my offspring the mental, physical
and moral status which is theirs !
should have all the aid possible.
