MOHR DEFENDS THE BOARD IF HEALTH Mobile Doctor Says That the
 Body Is Efficient COMPARISONS MADE Says Collection of Vital Statistics Is Done More Economically Here
 Than in yirginia-Fight
 on Yellow Fever
 
COMPARISONS MADE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In order to provoke interest in q movement to disorganize the existing public health system of Alabama, many charges have been made against the state board of health, conspicuous among them the charge of inefficiency and inattention in the collection of vi- tai statistics statement was made at the last meeting of the State Medical association that the records of vital statistics for Alabama were not worth the paper they were written on. hold that the charges and such state- ments as the one quoted are without foundation in fact, and believe that my position can be sustained before any fair minded and unbiased person,
 During the year 1914, five years after the state board for the first time had money to expend for this pur- pose. reports comprising the records signed by physicians and midwives. were filed in the office at Montgom- cry showing that:
 Thirty-nine counties reported 90 per cent or more of all births; IT counties reported 90 per cent or more of all deaths: six counties reported 90 per cent or more of all births and deaths
 Comparison with the records of other southern states (which can show any records al alb will show that not only has the state board been efficient and attentive, but that 1t has been very efficient and attentive in the collec- tion of vital statistics If the pres ent legislature will enact a needed law to provide that no dead body can be buried or otherwise disposed of, with cut a permit from some designated authority and provide the necessary money for the operation of the law, the state of Alabama will be in the reg istration area within one year. and even under existing conditions she bids fair to be among the first to be in the registration area for births. If it is true that the records on file are worth less as was claimed by a member of the association at it's last meeting, then do the doctors of the state of Ala bama stand convicted of utter incom potency in reporting deaths and giv- ing causes of deaths and in reporting births. 1 believe such a charge a islander on the medical profession of the state, I know they are the peers of the doctors of any or all states in the union. Who is qualified to give the information needed if not the dos- tors?
 The work attached to the collection and tabulation of vital statistics costs money: when the cost IS considered, that is, the money paid out to collect the facts, it can be shown that Ala bama has received more for the amount paid out than has any other state. All money so expended must be furnished by the state. and the amount is controlled not by the board

Boil WeeviI Appearing In Alarming Numbers-Sylvester Patterson Dead. Working for Carnegie Library

Columbus. Miss. July 1o.-tSpecia1) Heavy rains which have fallen in this section during the past week have ma terialy injured crop prospects. Culti- vation has been greatly retarded and both corn and cotton fields are overrun with grass while the menace to the lat ter plant from boil weevil has in- creased ten-fold These insects. which made their appearance here nearly a month ago, propagate rapidly during wet weather and have greatly increase d in number as result of the recent rains.
 Little Sylvester Patterson.

 An invitation came from A lady at Warrior to meet with the School Inn rrovement association last Wednesday, We accepted the invitation and tie hostess met the train.
 To beautiful cottage home we went and there on the gallery stood one Of the little girls of fl years aro-the grand mother today-in the home of my new made friend. Mrs o N. Wood of Weodlawn was the guest of her daughter. Mrs. (. IA Moss at Warrior, and a stranger face had brought us accidentally together again. One can imagine we forgot the things of to- day-'twas of yesterday We thought and talked. First at Blount and then 10 Mobile We travelled in words and then we dwelt upon all of the changes that time had wrought not In human form alone. but in the development Of a country that seemed hopeless mass of rock and poor people. of the eggs at cents a dozen, chickens at cents a head and beef and mutton at cents a pounds, nothing ever got so high as two bits In those days. The l.. X N. railroad had not long fixed it's path along the way--Birmingham was T baby crying over the aches of cholera and Woodlawn had not been born can you doubt there was much 10 talk about, and can you imagine a day more full of pleasure.
 We had known the little girls Thula and Rosa Hudson. Rosa died just as she reached womanhood and rhula Is Mrs. Wood today, and in the home of her daughter she Is visiting, and there we found her grandchildren nestling at her knee when we spoke of things so new to them There we met the old-time friend and made the new. Aud Lang Syne is wonderful tie-that keeps alive the interests of the old and the young.
 Mrs Moss Is the moving spirit among the women of Warrior and they have named her president of their school im- provement association. We caught the home-bound train for Birmingham and wondered. as we were seated comfortably, in this great influx of people how many old friends might meet by chance in such a way as this. This .verifies an as- sertion we have often made hefore-mix- ing with the people gives one half the plea sures of life.
 Pleasure lies thickest where no pleasure

 There's not a leaf that falls upon the
 ground
 But holds some joy of silence or of
 sound.
 Some sprte begotten of a summer

states make the same complaint-lack of sufficient funds. The states all contain large areas of sparsely settled country Can 1t be true that in these or in any other state, the county health officer has charge and supervision of the water sup ply and sewage disposal of every family and residence in his respective county? It was said by prominent objector that the county health officer should have this charge and supervision, his argument evidently being that since the state board of health of Alabama had not provided that this should be the case, it stood con- victed of incompetency and neglect of duty to the people of the state

Who is Who in the Public Eye?

Fred Sullens is snappy newspaper
man who always grasps the situation
for successful journalism. Bilbo has
been Fred's asset now for long time.
The minority faction buy and read The
Daily News in almost solid phalanx.
The Bilbo spice which Fred gives to it
makes The Daily News greatly relished.
In fact, how could Fred get along with
out this asset? He really needs it;
and it will be worth great deal to him
for the next four years.
But let US see about The Daily News
being an asset for Bilbo. Its editorials
have stirred up the wrath of great
numbers of county papers. Many call
The Daily News the DAILY Liar, y
praise Bilbo and scatter Bilbo fodder
all over the country. Now these small
editors are really IN earnest and cause
their readers to get hot under the col
lar So Fred Sullens has been an in
dispensible asset for Bilbo.
But again we see the friendly assOci-
alton between Fred Sullens and SweI
Taylor, Bilbo's manager; and observe
that Fred speaks of Taylor as "Oul
Swep," and Swep says he loves to bt
