Hookworm Disease More Widespread
Than Anticipated

Because OF the results disclosed
by an examination OF the school
children in more than twenty coun-
ties, the State Department of Health
is convinced that hookworm disease
is more prevalent in Virginia than
has been thought to be the case.
Plans to enlarge the hook worm
work OF the Department as rapidly
as possible for a vigorous war on
the disease throughout the State are
| now being formulated.
Following the establishment OF
the Rockefeller Sanitary Commits
sion, the State Board of Health was
made the agent of the Commission
for the Grad LEGATION of hook worm
diseases in Virginia. A force OF ex-
perts were placed in the field, paid
by the Sanitary Commission, and
these men began a careful inspect
ion of the counties shown to be in
fected. During recent months. the
field of investigation has been much
extended and detailed examination
of the school children of more than
twenty counties was undertaken.
This examination showed an
alarming degree Of infection. In
one county, So per cent of the
children we're suffering from hook
worm disease, while in no county
examined did the degree OF infection
fall below ii per cent.
Health officers declare that this
widespread infection shows the
need for the most Vigorous cam paigp
against the disease and for the en-
listment of everyposslble agency in
the effort to wipe cut this disease
from the State.

An Easter Saturnalia

The Baltimore Sun thus described
the Easter parade at Atlantic CITY
on Easter Sunday, spectacle that
should cause the greatest shame
Seen from a balcony above the
Board walk, the parade resembled a
monstrous. iridescent serpent,
slowly wriggling along a difficult
way. The colors were iaring and
glaring. Reds of the most vivid
tones, the green of the young whea,
fields, the yellow of the goldenrod,
the purple of the passion flower pre-
dominated. AS a whole, il was a
riot, a spree, drunken debauch OF
color. a wonderful thing the pa
rade, after all! On, yes, it has not,
perhaps, its counterpart in all the
world. Nowhere in America, at
least, was there such heteroge-
neous collection of human beings
gathered tcgether to celebrate in
such manner the anniversary of
Christ's resurrection from the dead.
And perhaps nowhere in this land
was this anniversary preceded by
such orgies as could be Witnessed
last night in any one of half a dozen
places here. And today hour after
hour they marched along, seeing
and being seen, with hardly glance
at the grand old sea tumbling its
pillows on the shore and roaring
out its age-old song of the Infinite"

LOSS OF POPULATION
IN VIRGINIA SERIOUS
Vital Statistics Expected to Show
Reason for Decline

Why twenty-seven Virginia coun-
ties have steadily been losing their
population during recent years and
why they showed marked decline
in 1910 over the figures for 1900 will
become obvious, in the judgment of
many State officials, when the new
vital statistics law becomes opera
tive in securing a complete record
OF birth and deaths in Virginia.
When the census for 1910 appear
ed, students of economic conditions
in Virginia were alarmed to dis
cover that in more than a fourth of
the counties of the Common wealth
there had been a loss of population
since the previous census. Counties
which had been populous and had
ample labor supplies were found to
be in grave danger of losing their
people. This condition could not
be explained and was the subject
OF much speculation. While it was
generally believed that the decline
in most, if not all these counties.
was due to the removal of Young
citizens, there was no proof availa-
BILE that the loss was not due to an
excess of deaths over births. II
such we're the case it was freely re-
marked at the time. the future of
agriculture in Virginia was serious
ly threatened.
Appeals to the census bureau. bv
Interested persons, failed to secure
any further information than that
contained in the printed tables.
The government experts were
frankly unable to explain why rich
agricultural sections, once the pride
Of Virginia, did not have as many
people as they had at the previous
census.
The vital statistics law, which be-
comes effective in June, is relied
upon to offer an explanation of this
puzzle, lot the future at least. BY
securing record of all births and
deaths in the State, it will readily
be possible to balance these and to
determine whether or not deaths
are in the excess of births. If this
be found not to be the case, the ex-
PLANTATION will. of course, be that the
people are leaving the country in
the nation wide flight TO the cities.
AT the very least" said an Off
Ger of the State Health Department,
discussing the matter recently,
the vital statistics law will show
the facts in the case aud will enable
US 10 know the real extent of the
movement which is depopulating
the counties"

STATE OF VIRGINIA

Demands Restitution for Grants

NORTHWEST TERRITORY GIFT
This Section Was Once a Portion of
Augusta County

The Senators OF West Virginia
and Virginia have begun a move
ment to require the United States
government TO account to the thir-
teen original States for every cent
it has received from the sale OF the
hwest territory, although a GEN.
fury has passed since the territory
was given by Virginia to the Fed
eral government. The sum proba-
bly, would amount to more than
800, 600, 900.
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia.
introduced in the Senate a bill to
give the Court OF Claims jurisdic-
ton 70 settle the claim AGAINST the
Federal government. Then be spoke
N advocacy Of his bill, saying Sen
ators Watson Of West Virginia, and
Martin and Swanson OF Virginia,
cOncurred in the measure.
The West Virginia Senator declar-
ed that Virginia did not give the
territory outright TO the Federal
government, but transferred title 10
the government to hold it as trustee
for the benefit of all the thirteen
original States. AS West Virginia
and Kentucky were then a part of
Virginia and we're not within the
coded territory, he asserted these
States had right to share in Vir-
ginia's portion. Ohio, Indiana. H.
inois, Michigan and Wisconsin were
carved out OF the territory.
The deed OF cession was referred
10 as showing that the cede1 land
was to be considered as a common
fund for the use and benefit of such
OF the United States, as have be-
come or shall become members Of
the Confederation of the Federal AL
lance OF the States, Virginia inclu-
sive." Senator Chiffon explained
that the reference tofuture members
was made so as to permit Maryland,
then outside the Federation, to par
ticipate in the benefits.
At this time when litigation is
pending as to whether West Virgin
ia shall share Virginia's old State
debt, Senator Chiffon declared it
was opportune for the Federal gov
eminent to make settlement with
the thirteen original States.
If ever 10 their history Virginia
and West Virginia needed their part
of this trust, it is now" said he.
BY the cession, Virginia made tue
Federal compact possible 1t is
nothing but right and justice that
the two States of Virginia and West
Virginia should not ask the Federal
government for a settlement OF the
trust property committed to it's
hands"
