Washington. May 17.-Solution Of
the worldwide problem of combating
the hookworm disease may be one of
the results secured by the Fifteenth In
ternational Congress on Hygiene and
Demography. which meets in Washing
ton, September 1928, 1912, under the
auspices of the United States Govern
ment. Scientists have run the hook
worm to Its lair since the Fourteenth
Congress which was held In Berlin in
1907, and the forthcoming meeting will
offer the first opportunity for hygienic
experts from all countries Of the globe
to get together, compare notes and
adopt a systematic and uniform cam
paign against what is regarded as the
greatest scourage which affects more
than half the population of the world.
The latest statistics which have been
prepared by the Rockefeller Sanitary
Commission, contain figures which are
startling in their magnitude and Illus
trate the imperative need for a union
of all public health forces In fighting
the hookworm. In brief. these statistics
show that hookworm infection belts
the earth in zone about 6s degrees
wide, extending from parallel SO north
to parallel 30 south. and that practical
ly all countries lying between these
parallels are infected. OF the foreign
countries from which the commission
received reports, 'f1fty-four are infacted
In six OF these countries-wales, Ger
many, Netherlands. Belgium, France
and Spain-the infection is wholly. or
chiefly, confined to mines. In at least
forty-six countries the infection is gen.
eral and widespread. These countries
have an area of 14.464.1 5S square miles
with 919.S5S,243 Inhabitants.
In addition the report of the Com
mission shows that eleven of our own
states with population in excess of
10000 1000 are also in the infected belt
and that of the total population of the
