ATHLETIC MEET.
Tome Schools Big Track Event.

Tome Schools Big Track Event.
Tome School. after lapse of four years.
announces the renewal of its annual In
terscholastic Meet, at Port Deposit on
May 9th. Formerly, on the second
Saturday of May, for eight years, Tome.
held great interscholastic field and track
Meet, to which came athletes from every
shool of importance in Baltimore. Phila-
delphia, Washington, and this section of
the country.
With the renewal of the Meet this year,
the management is endeavering to pick
up the threads where they were drop
ped four years ago. The Meet will be
the same in nearly every particular. 1t
has been found that boys from our schools
in the counties have little chance in COM
peting with athletes from the great City
schools, which employ special trainers.
AS in former years, Tome is anxious that
they will have an equal chance at the
prizes, and shall have and incentive to
develop their strength and speed and
therefore again introduce this year.
special series of events for the County
High Schools, with gold, silver, and
bronze medals to winners. of first, second
and third places in each. Boys from the
City schools will not be allowed to COM
pete in these events-they are restricted
solely to boys Of our Country High
Schools. All boys who compete are in
vited to do SO as Tones guests and the
Institute will entertain them at lunch and
will do everything in its power to show
them good time. The medals for the
Country High Schools service have al
ready been ordered, and are of handsome
design, die cut, showing the Tome School
Seal and inscribed on the back is the
name of the Meet and the event Any
boy who wins one of them may have
just pride in it in future years.
Tome was the fist to introduce the
Country School events few years ago,
and we now see the wide spread results
in the great Athletic Movement through
out the State. This year champions are
to be sent to State Meet to be held some
time in June. 1t is not only the school
boy who is interested in this feature of
the Tome Meet, but the parent, who
wants his boy to grow up strong and act
i've, surchareed with vitality for the battle
of life. The movement is absolutely un-
selfish and is undertaken at considerable
expense simply with view of stimulat-
ing the development of athletics in the
schools in the counties. We hope our
town will be represented and that our
boys will bring back some of the hand
some prizes that are to be awarded.

DR.. HEXAMER AN AMERICAN
AND NEEDS NO ADVICE.
'ANA4~AAAAA~AAAN

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 9, 1915.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
An article appearing in the Pen
sacola Journal of the 9Th inst. reads:
'The president of the National Ger
man-American Alliance suggests that
we tear up the Declaration of indie
pendence and swear allegiance to King
George. He might, with profit, read
over that oath of allegiance which he
took and then try loyalty to the
United States for change"
Now, allow US to call your atten-
ton to the fact that it is very unwise
to write about subjects one does not
know anything about. 1t happens
that our national president, DR.. Hex
amer, is an American by birth, and
so was his father. 1t happens also
that DIR. Hexamer naturally is full of
real genuine American patriotism, and
therefore he does not need anybody s
advice as far as his duties as a citi-
zen of this country are concerned. The

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACOLIANS
The Navy Yard Road

The recent rains over the larger
part Of Polk county showed more con-
clusively than any other one thing the
need for permanent highways of the
best type. Folks roads are noted, such
as we possess, to be amongst the
best in the state, yet heavy rain
fall, Of forty-eight hours duration
soon plays havoc with them.
In a recent talk with travelling
man from the Pensacola neighbor-
hood, that gentleman called attention
to a piece of road building --some ten
or twelve, years old, a few miles
long, costing something like eighteen
or twenty thousand dollars per mile,
and over which unusual heavy traffic
passed to the government reservation
at the navy yard. This road had not
had any repair work done on it for
some years and the speaker stated
that it was in as good state of re-
pair as when put down.
This Pensacola road was built by
the federal government and at the
price, which a county can hardly un-
dertake to build, it was cheap. Last
ing all these years and without the
usual cost of upkeep, it has undoubt.
eddy paid q handsome dividend to it,
builders and to those who use it. Il
would be grand thing if the STATE
and counties could combine and builc
and maintain such roads and of sucl
character. In the long run the tax
payer, who always "hollers" abou
the enormous burden of these take,
would pay less proportionately thai

Philippine Government
Creates Sanitary Corps.

A new Philippine health law, Gre
ating service similar in organiza-
ton to that Of the United States
Public Health Service, becomes eff
fective July 1. This legislation pro-
vides for health body, which will
have supervision over al matters of
sanitation in the Philippine Islands.
Probably no crater compliment has
ever been paid the United States
Public Health Service than that of
modelling after it the Philippine or
ganization.
The service as contemplated is to
consist of a director and assistant,
chiefs of divisions, medical inspec-
tors, and senior and junior surgeons.
These officers are to be commission
ed by the Philippine government, are
to hold Office during good behavior,
and cannot be dismissed without
cause. In other words they will be
Independent in action and entirely
free from political influences. All ap-
pointments and promotions are sub
ject to physical and professional ex-
aminations, and salaries are regulat-
ed by length of service.
The administration of the health
laws of the respective provinces and
all medical, surgical ard sanitary
work of a public nature, will be
supervised by this body. The direc-
tor of health is to be appointed by
the governor general, the present in
cumbent, Surgeon John D. Long of
the United States Publis Health Serv-
ice, being retained. An advisory
council of hygiene is provided, to con-
sist of seven representative members,
appointed largely from educational in
stitutions. The salaries of the mem
bers are to be merely nominal. San
itary engineers and technical ex-
perts will be employed. For the pur-
poses of administration the provinces
are divided into sanitary divisions
which may be. composed of several
municipalities.
Funds for health purposes are to
be raised IN a most novel manner.
Provincial boards and municipalities
are required to set aside not less than
S per cent nor more than 10 per cent
from their general funds, these
amounts to be devoted to sanitation
and carrying out the purposes of the
act. Balances which accumulate from
year to year are to be used for es-
tablishing hospitals and benevolent
institutions. This forever prevents
niggardly policy in making health
appropriations and places the man be.
fore the dollar for all time.
The administration of the law vii
be observed with much interest by
officials in this country. The pow
ers conferred greatly exceed those
possessed by our own health organi
cations, and jurisdiction is extended
over all matters which have definite
bearing upon physical welfare.

Lassen Volcano Has
Ended It's Career.

Lassen volcano, California, spent
most Of its energy in its violent erup-
tons of last May, according to re-
ports received by the Forest Service,
and it is believed that there is little
likelihood of further destructive out
breaks. Since the upheavals of May
20 and %, the volcano has been under
the observation of officers of the
Lassen National Forest, in which the
peak stands, and for the last month
volcanologist Of the United States
Geological Survey has been making
q scientific study of the mountain.
The Investigations have confirmed
the opinion that the eruption of two
months ago, when a river of mud
was blown out Of the north side of
the crater and down Hat Greek with
considerable damage to government
and private property, was caused by
the melting of the snow on the peak,
the. show water running into the crater
and being converted by the molten
lava into steam. Although it is pos
sible that the volcano is simply con-
serving its energy for another out
break, the indications are, according
to the government volcanologist on
the ground, that no further eruptions
are likely to occur, at least until next
spring when another influx Of snow
water may cause slight disturb
ance.
The first authentic report of the
damage done by the eruptions of last
May shows that early reports were
greatly exaggerated. Forest RANGERS
who have made a careful survey of
the neighborhood of the volcano and
have made several ascents to the rim
of the crater, report that the total
extent Of government land rendered
useless by mud and lava is some
what less than 1000 acres, and that
of the privately owned land rendered
useless less than 1000 acres, com
prising all told the grazing range OF
about go cattle. In addition, by rea-
son Of temporary injury to other
areas, range has had to be provided
for about 800 cattle which were grazed
near the mountain. Inasmuch as some
$4,000 cattle and 10000 sheep are
grazed on the Lassen Forest every
year, this curtailment of the range
according to the Forest Service, is al
most negligible.
The Forest officers on the ground
estimate that the timber destroyed By
the eruption amounted to about Il
million board feet. Photograph
taken by one Of the rangers who were
detailed to make observations show
trees several feet in diameter and 15C
feet tall lying on the mountainside
where they were snapped off like
toothpicks. A bouler as big as 1
freight car is among the debris tina
was carried for several miles dow
the mountain by the mud flow.
