TRACED TO THE FLY

Announcement of the discovery that the
common house fly carries the egg of the
hookworl. the parasite for the eradica-
tion of which John d. Rockefeller estab-
lished million-dollar foundation. was
made today by the sanitary commission
of the Rockefeller Institute.
Scientific demonstration of a long sus-
pected fact that the ny plays an impor-
tant part in the spread of hookworm in
fection was established recently by Dr.
Kentucky, who is cooperating with the
vor to stamp out the disease which has
the Blue Grass state.
DR.. Souths discovery was cOmmuni.
Gated to Prof. Wickliffc Rose. admins
trative secretary of the hookworm COM
mission. who happened to be in Ken
lucky at the time. Prof. Rose has re-
turned to Washington and today stated
that there could be. no doubt that the
fys guilt with respect to aiding the
spread of the dread malady had been
established
DR.. Murray's Theory Sustained.
The announcement bears out the theory
of DR.. Arthur l.. Murray. secretary of
The Stars swat the fly campaign. who,
in a paper read before the sanitary in
spectors, of the District health depart
ment two years ago, expressed the belief
that the insect is the carrier of the hook
worm egg.
DIR. J. n Mccormack, secretary of the
Kentucky State Board Of Health. and
Gov McCreary have been appraised OF
Dr. South's discovery. The bacteriologist
examined flies which We're brought IN
from the hookworm infected areas. Hun

the abdomen and feet of the Insects

through the microscope.
1t has been found that the hookworm
enters the victim through the skin ana
penetrates to it's natural home IN the
small intestine 1t works its way through
the tissues and blood into the intestine.
The minute worm even has been found
in the muscles of the heart and in the

goods roads committee of the jack

mass meeting in the cause OF good
roads. at which all candidates for OF
fees before the coming democratic

the subject of good roads, the idea be-
ing to have the candidates place
themselves on record as favoring the
proposed bill for the creation of
state highway commission.
This bill was approved by the State

After considerable discussion. the fol-
lowing resolution was introduced and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this committee that the board OF gov

Farms by freight, delta acreage by
CARROTS; that is the latest in agricul-
ture in Chicago where a truck farmer
solved a problem by buying the sort
ped to him. Buying farm land at Sc
a ton is an innovation in Illinois, but
Richard S. Kirchberger, a truck gar
dener in a suburb, determined by ex-
periments what kind of soil he need
ed for growing vegetables, and when
he discovered that kind of soil in Lou
isiana, soil wealth that the MISSISSIPPI
pi had carried down stream during
countless generations, he bought it,
Next he arranged with the railroads
to move the soil north again, to prox-
unity to the appetites of great city
which he proposed to appease with
green stuff grown ON the delta soil.
This idea of buying soil is not novel
in Europe and it seems likely to be
more generally adopted in this coun-
try, as the land now overfiowed is re-
claimed, and its surprising riches
made available. Edmund T. Perkins,
acting president of the national drain
age congress, said that Mr.. Kirehber-
gers accomplishment showed what a
vast mine of fertility lies submerged,

ed down unestimated quantities of
rich earth and decaying vegetable
matter, he said, which covers an area
of 100000 acres, and goes to depth
