CHAMBER ACTIVE
IN HEAL TIL WORK
SeCretary's Report to u. S.
Commissioner Shows Great
Good Accomplished.

In response to a request from +. +.
/ ClaEton. United States commissioner Of
education, Walter G. Cooper, secretary
of the Chamber Of Commerce, has fur
nisued the department with a statement
| Of what the chamber has done and con-
| templates doing in instructing the peo-
| pie Of Atlanta in the matter of caring
| for their health. Here is Il resume OF
| Mr., Coopers report, given out today:
Approximately three years ago, Vice
President Victor II. Kriegshaber was
| instrumental in having established in
the public schools medical eXamina-
ton Later the chamber obtained the
extension Of this examination to the
schools of Fulton county and now is
backing the plan to put it into the
schools of the entire state.
Next in 1912, Mr.. Kriegshaber inau-
gurated dental examination in two of
the Atlanta schools, with the prospect
Of an early extension Of this work to
all the schools of the city.
Fight on the Hookworm.
The committee on health brought to
Atlanta the first Southern HookWorm
conference, in which IS states were rep
resented, and the result of which was
the dissemination of more information
regarding this disease than had ever
before been given the public. 1t also
resulted in greatly stimulating the work
of state and local boards of health in
graduating this disease.
The negro housing problem has been
carefully studied by the committee on
sanitation which is now working on
plans for the sanitary betterment Of
the negro tenement district
Through the public school children
Of Atlanta, more than 10000 pledges
were brought in last year from own
ers of residences to the effect that they
would clean up their premises. This
plan proved so effective that it will
probably be repeated in the spring
The health committee of the cham
Der now is planning to bring here an
important and valuable exhibit design
ed for the instruction of the people in
hygienic living and the prevention of
dangerous contagious diseases.
Aid in tuberculosis War.
1.-THE chamber has taken and main
tains active interest in the work Of the
Atlanta Anti tuberculosis association,
contributing to it's funds and rendering
assistance in other directions, looking
to the prevention of the spread of tu-
berculosis.
Its action in putting through the 49,
100000 bond issue, as a result of which
Atlanta's sewer system has been vastly
improved and sanitary conditions bet
tered to that extent, was one of the
best things it has ever done for At
lanta.
THE chamber will continue its ef-
forts to obtain legislation charging the
work Of the state health department
and reinforcing it by providing for the
use OF county funds for health pur-
poses, leading to the establishment of
effective local boards Of health all over
the state"

Old Menelik is dead Gadzooks
That surely makes me sore
He's died some ten or twenty times
And died for keeps-before
The way he cashes in his checks
Gives me mighty pain.
He hardly gets one death pulled off,
When--psit he dies again.
He died when he vas but lad,
lie passed away in youth,
He died when he became a man,
Three separate times, forsooth -
When he grew old, and bent, and gray,
He died some more, alack.
But every time he died, we knew
He surely would come back.
I know he is a potentate,
A most illustrious kink-
But then, at that, a few choice deaths
Should be enough, l think
A kink's a royal parsonage.
And quite his own boss-but
Upon, at least, his fourth demise,
| think he should stay put.
And, while ] IN versifying here,
Who knows-hey, boy, come quick
And rush this copy" upstairs. Gee!
1t almost makes me sick,
To think that ere | get it set
And published, he may wake,
And rouse himself, another span
OF regal life to take
/ really think Old Menelik
Should be called down upon
That ancient dying habit, which
He likely thinks is fun
Unless he s made to call it off,
This Abyssinian geek
Will think it's up to him eftsoon
To die each Thu rsday week.

PHILADELPHIA. July 17.-Miss
Gertrude Barnum, daughter of Judge
Barnum, of Chicago, who has con-
Quoted strikes for the women gar
ment workers throughout the coun-
try, arrived in this city last night to
take personal charge of the situation
here. Miss Barnum declared that one
of the purposes for which she came
to this city was to warn both the
manufacturers and workers against
Frankel, the organizer. She de-
clared he was in the employ of the
as well as in the
Burns detective agency.
"If the public would only realize
the treachery, the graft. the lobby
ing and the trickery resorted to in
an effort to thwart peaceful efforts
to improve industrial conditions
they would better understand the
desperation which has led to ex-
treme radicalism in one wing of the
labor movement" she said.

NO MORE WARSHIPS FOR
GREAT BRITAIN TILL 1915

4. LONDON, July 1.-THE admiralty
has no intention of adding further
warships to its construction program
for 1914-15, according to statement
made by Winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, in the
Couse of Commons today during the
debate on the ship building vote.
Mr.. Churchill said he knew of moth
ing in the international situation
necessitating an increase and he did
not think anything occurring in the
Mediterranean rela tive to tho ~ =
posed warship construction by Austria
and Italy would require Great Britain
to depart from her present program.
AS result of the rejection of the
Canadian naval bill the British gov
eminent, Mr.. Churchill said, would
accelerate the construction of three
warships which would therefore be
ready in the third quarter of 1915.

DETECTIVES AWED BY TALE
OF MERE MANS SLEUTHING

Clasps of awe slipped from the
listening detectives in the Third Pre-
cinct Court today when Peter SHAFT
ski told his story to the Judge. If
Shafski and Stanislaw Pulowski,
both of 141 Bowery street, took the
civil service examination, there
would likely be two new sleuths on
the force.
Shafski had young lady friend
in New York, who wrote him letters.
The letters evidently were meant for
him alone, for he was rather put out
when Pulowski opened one. Shafski
knew his correspondent quite well
and received-well, the usual num-
Der of letters a week, in such a case.
Suddenly the mail decreased. Poor
Peters mind was torn with mental
anguish at the apparent desertion of
his sweetheart. She assured him,
however, that she was just as strong
for him as ever. One day the girl
in New York received letter in a
strange hand from the same adj
dress as Shafsk1s. She wrote to
Shafski about it and here was where
his latent detective ingenuity came
into play.
He wrote letters to himself and
had them mailed from New York. He
never received the letters here, he
said, but he did receive at a New
