u. S. HEALTH SERVICE
ENDS ACTIVE YEAR
Trained Experts Covered Entire
Country in Its Fight
Against Disease.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The summary of
the last twelve months work. prepared
in the headquarters of the public health
service here, contains a record Of fights
against disease, concerted opposition 10
the invasion of foreign maladies. and ex-
cursons into new fields of medical OK
ploratlon, which has had no equal in the
history of the federal health organiza-
ton.
Trained experts working under the di-
rection of Surgeon General Rupert Blue
and Assistant Surgeon General Rucker,
have covered every nook and corner of
the country.
Much of the research work for the
health service is done in the hygienic
laboratory in Washington. In the search
for the means by which infantile pa
raIysis is transmitted the experts there
succeeded in carrying germs from one
monkey to another by the bite of a stable
ny. But where this succeeded once, 1t
failed on all other attempts, and the pub
lie health service is still working on the
problem of coping with this disease.
Pollution of rivers and the attendant
danger 10 communities close TO them are
under examination now i'm the valleys Of
the Missouri, Ohio and Potomac. A com
prehensive investigation of pellagra is be-
ing directed from the marine hospital at
Savannah. and malaria is being studied
at the Mobile (Ala) hospital to determine
definitely the means by which IT is car
ried and the methods best adapted TO its
suppression.

Her Strategy Succeeds.

The move was successful so far as
preventing the appropriation going
through.
The terms Of several members of The
Board Of Education and of the City
Council Board Of Estimate expired on
December 81. When Mayor Hinck and
Councilman McGlynn returned to-day
the first work Of the former was to use
the official axe on the anti-Hinck mem
bcrs of both boards The Mayor reor-
ganizod the Board Of Education by re-
appointing his sister for a fiveyear
term and naming Q. II. T. Semsch, an
architect. for the four-year term. He
refused to rcappoint Tom Taylor
Waller and William J. carr. who voted
FOR the $4,000 appropriation. He
also appointed himself Councilman
McGlynn and Dr. p. Maxwell Foshay TO
membership in the board, thus giving
his sister a clear majority.
Councilman David Henney. a mem
her Of the Board OF Estimate. who had
favored the appropriation opposed by
Miss Hinck, was not reappOinted. As
the Board Of Estimate now stands, it
is composed Of three who are expected
to sustain the objections of Miss Hinck
and two who favor the appropriation
for the high school.
The Board Of Estimate met on Mon
day. and Harris and the other two
members who are opposed 10 Miss
Hinck voted for the appropriation.

boosters urging the claims of their cities
for reserve banks. The plan contempiates
the keeping Of the records OF the public
hearings in the twelve cities up to the
minute, so that the Cabinet officers VIII
be able to compare the arguments made
for or against various cities as they
travel.

can be laid before the Federal Reserve
