Health Department Will Con
tinue Investigation Be
gun Last Year in
State

Richmond, Va, May 49,
Plans are being perfected by
the health authorities of the
State to continue the investiga
ton of typhoid fever begun last
year. AS heretofore, every
known outbreak of typhoid
will be investigated, and. in
addition, DR.. A. w. Freeman.
Assistant Health Commission.
er, will renew the study of ty-
phoid fever in those localities
whore the disease is epidemic
and reappears year after year.
In this work, Dir. Freeman will
be assisted by DR.. l.. l.. Lums-
den of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital
Service, who collaborated with
him last year. 1t is expected
that the inquiry during the
summer will supplement the
results already presented by
Drs. Freeman and Lumsden
before the American Public
Health Association in Havana
and reprinted in the current
issue of the Associations Jour
nal.
The Health Department has
renewed its request that every
outbreak of typhoid fever be
reported promptly in order that
t h G necessary investigation
may be made without delay.

Washington, ID. c., May 49,
The consideration of the bill to
provide for the administration

was begun in the House of Rep
resentatives on Thursday.
opens new chapter in the his.
tory of an undertaking in which
the United States has succeed.

For many generations it has

men to open a new pathway

ting the strip of land which
connects the continents of
North and South America and
shortening, by weeks, the time
ships must consume to go from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Tragic failure resulted from the
efforts of the French govern.
ment to build the Panama Ca.
nal. Few lessons could b q
learned by our engineers and
statesmen from S tud wing
French methods. Unknown
difficulties had to be met and
new plans devised for meeting
them. 1t was done successful.
ly and the fact that the open
ing of the canal is assured is a
tribute to the genius of Ameri
ca. The legislation now being
considered must be enacted
practically without precedent.
Great problems must be solved.
with little but reason and in
stinct to guide. Intricate and
delicate matters of diplomacy
as well as grave methods of adj
ministration must be decided.
Congress has entered new
field in determining what il
shall decide for the regulation
of the Panama Canal. The an
swer it Will make is to mark Il
new epoch in United States his
tory and the history of tho
world. Men OF all nations as
well as citizens of this country
are listening to hear what dc
termination is reached. The
regulation Of the Panama Ca
nal is one of the most important
pieces of legislation ever pre-
scented to the American Con.
gress.
