.GUNNERS MAKE READY
FOR HUNTING SEASON
Birds Are Reported to Be
Plentiful in Marshes Along
the Potomac.

Hunters are now cleaning up their
guns and making ready for the bird
hunting season. which opens Monday.
September l.. and from reports being
received they will find plenty OF birds.
Lieut.. Russell Dean of the harbor pre-
cinct. who has had his men In launches
patrolling the hunting grounds on the
Eastern branch. and below this city
to prevent hunting before the opening
of the season, states that reed and black
birds are both plentiful in the marshes
and that the crop of wild oats is good
and will attract the birds.
So far this season not an arrest
for illegal cunning has been made.
and it Is said that not a gun has
son.
Birds Are Very Tame.
The consequence is the birds are
very tame and the hunters who get
into the marshes early on the opening
day of the season will have some fine
sport. The police officials in charge
of the ninth, fifth and eleventh pre-
cincts, which border on the marshes,
also have men out to prevent shooting
Since the close OF the last hunting
season a number of changes have
been made in the duration of the sea-
son In which birds can be hunted. Un-
der the old law it was legal to shoot
plover and snipe until April l, and
reed birds until February l. The new
regulation closes the plover and snipe
season January 16 and reed birds. No
vember 1. The season for hunting wild
ducks and the like Is curtafled two
and half months. the season now
closing January Is instead of April I,
as 1T did last year. In the clubhousea
of most of the cunning organizations
copies of the new laws have been
posted and the members are making
themselves familiar with these pro-
Visions.
Under Federal Regulation.
Under law passed by Congress at
Its last session regulation of the shoot
ing Of wild ducks, geese, swan. brant,
woodcock, rail. plover, wild pigeons
and all other migratory fowl and
birds has been placed in the hands
of the national government and is
not for the states to regulate as here
tofore. = Under the new law the De-
partment Of Agriculture Is authorized
to make regulation for the protection
OF the birds. to name the season when
they can be shot, and the law provides
a severe penalty for violations. The
regulations the Agricultural Depart
the President before they become ef-
fective. The new laws governing the
shooting Of birds in the District has
not yet been approved by the PIesi-
dent, but there seems to be but Httie
doubt they will receive his approvai.

Preventable Disease, If Proper Steps
Are Taken-Outline of Neces-
sary Treatment.

Flies, mosquitoes, reaches and other
insects are responsible for the deaths
of thousands of persons annually, but
these pests combined do not constitute
as alarming a menace to mankind as
does the hookworm, according to DIR.
Nelson Du Val Brecht, former assistant
surgeon of the United States public
health service, who is writing for The
Star series Of articles dealing with
public health questions.
The activities Of this para site insect,
for the eradication of which John D.
Rockefeller has established fund Of
million dollars, and methods which
may be employed for combating hook
worm disease, are described by DR..
Brecht in the following article, which
is the sixth Of the series:
'Hookworm disease has become a, ma
tiOnal public health problem in the Unit
ed States since DIR. Charles Wardell Stiles
of the United States public health serv-
ice demonstrated in 1902 that 1t was en-
deinic In many states. and the cause of
the common anemia of the south. At
about the same time. Ashford, King and
IgaravideZ discovered that over one
fifth of the population OF Porto Rico was
infected with the disease. These dis
cOveries were followed by the donation
of x1.UOO.NO by John u. Rockefeller to
be used for its eradication in the south
ern states.

Fund Largely Increased.


Recently it has been announced that
the sum of. $lOO.OOO.OOo has been SUBJ
scribed by number of wealthy philan-
thropists for the purpose. of stamping out
anemia of native races over the entire
world AS hookworm disease is one of
the coumonest causes and probably the
greatest cause. of anemia in the human
race, a large share of this fund will be
employed for its treatment and preven-
ton.
"Hookworm disease is known also as
uncinariasis, ankylostomiasis. miners
anemia, Egyptian chiorosis Egyptian
green sickness, miners cachexia, miners
disease. Porto Rico anemia, st. Goth
ards tunnel disease. tunnel disease, tun-
green sickness dochmoisis, brickmakers'
naemia, mountain anemia, besides a
host of local names. 1t Is one of the
most ancient diseases known to man. for
it was described by Egyptian scribes
$500 years ago. 1t Is one Of the most
widely distributed diseases and its
geographical range comprises practically
the entire globe.
Hookworm disease is found in Africa.
North America. South America. Central
America, the West Indies Hawaii. Asia
and the Philippine Islands. 1t is found
as far north as New York. The original
home OF the hookworm was. in all prob
ability, Africa, and it was first introduce
ed to the West Indies and Atlantic sea-
board of the United States by the impor-
tation of negroes as slaves from the
dark continent
1T has entered the Pacific coast states
and Mexico through immigration from
Hawaii, China. Japan, the Philippines and
India, and through transcontinental travel
from the east coast. Soldiers, sailors and
civilians returning from our insular pos
sessions have brought with them their
share of the disease.
.'Hookworm disease is the greatest en-
envy of the human race In the tropics
greater even than cholera or plague. II
has been the most disabling of all dis
eases In the Egyptian army, as well as
the greatest cause for the rejection of
recruits. In Egypt the parasite of the
disease is found at nearly every post
mortem. Upon the arrival Of many yes

Blast.

An inquest is being held at the
warne-Lynch undertaking establish
ment over the body OF Charles Lavery,
who was found dead in room over

Wednesday afternoon. An autopsy

the city.
Wednesday morning -avery was
not feeling well and was advised by
friends to go to bed. He went up
stairs over the Cottage saloon and
was not seen again until late in the
afternoon when telephone call came
for him from some one at shinnston.
When William Hicks, proprietor Of
the saloen, went up stairs to call
Lavery to the telephone he was nearly
overcome by strong gas fumes coming
out OF the room. He found Lavery
dead on the bed. Other persons who
were called into the room thought
that Layery might be revived and a
physician was called but after an ex-
animation he pronounced Lavery dead.
Dr.. S. NJ. Mason, coroner. was no
| titled and after an investiga-
tion the body was removed to the
warne-Lynch undertaking estblish-
ment where the inquest was held.

rs OPPOSED
TO PROPOSED TAX
On Natural Gas and Sends
Committee TO Charleston
to Kill the Bill.

AT the recent luncheon OF the board
of trade the matter OF a proposed tax
of three-ifths Of cent on every
thousand feet of gas produced in the
state of West Virginia, which is now
being heard before the finance COM
mittee of the state senate, was gone
thoroughly into by the members pres
ent and the secretary was requested to
notify the delegates and senators from
this district to strongly oppose such
a measure. To each OF those repre-
|senting this district in the senate and
house of delegates the following tele-
gram was transmitted:
"clarksburg board of trade and
manufacturers of this city emphati-
|caliy protest against the proposed tax
on production of natural gas. We feel
that 1t is not only discriminatory but
unjust and will create burden for
our consumers to carry and act as a
DaAtASt " PAOspeSt4hS luuustTleS cOm-
ing into the state. Kindly act for the
best interest of all concerned"
In order that a further and more
emphatic protest may be registered
at the hearing now progressing in
Charleston, the board of trade has
named a special committee to appear
before the finance committee of the
senate. This. committee is composed
of A. X. Thorn, R, B. Wilson and L.
S. Hornor. Mr.. Horror is now on the
ground and Messrs. Willison and
Thorn will leave on No. IS tonight
en- route for Charleston. 1t is felt
that Mr.. Thorn's presence at the
hearing will be particularly effective
owing to the fact that he is an ex-
member of the senate, and delivered
an address some years ago against
the taxation on the production of our
natural resources, a similar bill for
which purpose is now pending.
