sidered Very Conservative;

Detroit has attained q population
Of 6e7.s44, according to the latest esti-
mate by R. l. Polk q Co., whose new
directory has just been issued. In
figuring the population the publishers
have used the governments latest

lation and then estimating the In
crease.
The United States census Of 1910
gave Detroit population OF 466,766.

26,s2s. making q total OF 4s2.6s5. The
directory for 1911 showed IN increase
OF 36,s07 In population during the
year. The new directory shows an
increase OF 16,454 names. which null
tiplied by 23 to allow for women and
children whose names do not appear
In the directory, gives an increase OF
1892 In population during the year
ending Aug. /, making b total increase
OF 1929 since the government census
was taken two years Fago. or q total

mate az basis the estimated popula-
ton Of the city this year would be

when the trail led to Detroit, a tire

the shape OF objections from the par

brougnt her here totintroduce her to
his parents, as Is proper In the best

the match, forbade him to even think
of 1t, and he pleaded in vain
Meanwhile, his fiancee, Miss Kelley
was rooming nearby, and after wait
ing for a week for her lover to win
his parents over, found that she was
without money Meanwhile, her par
ents, not hearing from her, asked the
truant officers to investigate. and the
officers, learning the true state OF af
fairs, took the lunlucky girl to head
quarters until she could obtain money
from home.
Then young Hunt disappeared, an
nouncing that he was going TO Provi

the girl of his choice.

Quarantining Against the Hool<worm
A new and rather interesting phase
Of the hookworm problem has come
to the front in San Francisco. Az
ter the discovery of the wide prevail
ence OF hookworm in tho South,
California, too, was found badly af-
flicted with the pernicious parasite.
II was known to exist in the mines
Of that state, but recently has been
found prevalent among Porto Rican
and oriental laborers who are most
ly engaged in agricultural pursuits
Probably one-third to, perhaps, one
half OF the immigrants coming from
the orient are infected with hook
worm; an Investigation during which
2,255 were examined revealed that
1917 harbored the intestinal parasite.
In san Francisco it has recently been
discovered that a number of labor
ers. chiefly from the West Indies,
engaged in gardening on a
tract of land within the city limits
are afflicted with hookworm and, on
account of the danger of transmitting
the parasite by uncooked vegetables,
the laborers have been quarantined
and placed under treatment and the
vegetables from these gardens win
not be allowed to be sold in the
markets until all evidence and danger
of hookworm infection are eliminat-
ed. The usual route of the infection
S through the skin of the feet, but
II is believed that uncooked vegetables
carrying the hookworm eggs or larvae
might also be source of infection.
This phase of the question and the
| method of solving it are rather novel,
says the Journal of the American
Medical Association. Doubtless SINH
lar conditions obtain elsewhere, and
the Can Francisco plan viii afford a
precedent in meetingSthem.
