FOUR YEARS WORK OF
 HOOKWORM COMMISSION
FAULKNER ONE OF LOWEST COUNTIES IN PERCENTAGE
 OF INFECTION.

Little Rock, July 7.-Since the be- ginning of the campaign in this state bv the Rockefeller Hookworm Com- mission. four years ago, the comms- sion has expended $52,673.52.
 Since the legislature passed the hoard of health bill in 1913, enabling the county courts to make approprla- tions for such purposes, 28 counties have appropriated s5,O19.29 to aid in the work, of which $3,446.6O has been expended.
 Inspection surveys have been made in 52 counties, and sanitary surveys in 3S. There has been total of A. O81 examinations made, of which B. 174 have been infected with the hook worm. and 1,710 with other intestinal parasites. Infection has been demon strated in 67 counties, and no lnvesti- gation whatever has been made of the other eight, so it is reasonable to sup pose that there is hookworm in every county of the state.
 The highest per cent of infection was 7O.8, found in Nevada county, and other counties in the same class are Cleveland, Columbia, Dallas, lz- ard, Miller, Saline, Grant and few others.
 The smallest per cent of infection was II per cent in Conway, and other counties in that class are Faulkner, Lonoke, White and Arkansas.
 The members of the commission have delivered 1928 addresses of an educational nature, reaching 225,OOO people. The office has written 39,372 letters, and distributed 167,977 pieces of literature.
