THE PROBLEM OF CHIHUAHU1TA; WILL WE CLEAN UP NOW OR TAKE

as any other man anyhow. When he says they cannot
be controlled that quarantine is a joke; that fumigation
is worthless, he knows what he is talking about. When
he tells you that the population Of Chihuahuita flOcks
TO the house of 4 sick person, then s~catters with the
-four winds, with its germs and baeni, he knows again
what he IS talking about. When he tells you the flies
alternate between water closets that are seldom flushed
and the food upon the tables, he knows; these same flies
may today be in Chihushuita, tomorrow on "the north
side" or they may carry their germ to the food Of your
servant girl who lives on the south side; she VIII be back
at your house again tomorrow, perhaps nursing your
baby perhaps preparing your food.
As Dr.. R. L. Ramey says in commenting upon the
paper Of Dr.. Thompson, politics have played too large a
part in Chihuahuita. Men because Of certain influences
have been permitted TO rent houses that were unfit for
the accommodation of dogs. Sewer connections have MOI
been forced, when every law of nature cried out for
them. Inspections Of the places have not been properly
made, regulations of a sanitary nature have not been
properly enforced, streets have not been drained nor
paved, in fact, very little has been done Tor Chihuahua
except to tax It all the traffic would stand
Poor Mexicans have paid e%xorbitant rentals in pro

allowed to live like cattle. They have sickened and died

protection to ourselves; as insurance for the health Of
ourselves and cur ovn.
Read what Dr.. Howard Thompson says about the
dangers lurking there, printed elsewhere in tOdsy's
Herald; read what the other doctors Of FL PasO said in
commenting upon Dr.. Thompson's statement; then pom
der a little on whether it Is not the most vital question
we are now facing in FL Paso. One doctor asks the
question, what would happen if an epidemic Of q serious
nature broke cut in Chihuahuita and apty answers that
at would be hell" It is terse but true.
One severe epidemic in Chihuahuita would spread so
rapidly that e. Paso would have cause to mourn for
years. It IS impossible to confine contagious diseases to
one section of a city, particularly in a section like
Chihuchuita that supplies the majority Of the servants
Of the town. These spEesd it to the American homes,
these and their fathers and mothers and brothers and
sisters, who mingle with the rest Of the population in
practically evay walk of life IN every section Of Fl
Paso. There is no possibility Of i~solating Chihuahuita-
II Chihuahuita is unhealthy, the rest Of E PasO must
suffer with it. The only way to insure the rest Of the
city IS to dean up Chihuahuita. Read what d.. ThOmp-
son says and ponder over it.
Dr.. Thompson is enc Of the Oldest Of the ~practicing
physicians in the city in point of service; his experience
has been large with the Mexican population. He knows
them better than any other one man in e. PasO-as we'll

THERE was a discussion the other day at a meet
ing of the FL Paso County Mexican society which
The Herald believes every FL Pasoan ought to
read. It had to DO with the subject Of Chihuahuita,
that ever present bugaboo Of a plague spot that We
must DO something with sooner or later. The doctors
admit that they do not know what to do; they say
the matter could be adjusted if they had the power to
do it, but they haven't. The result IS that the buildings
are unhealthful, quarantines are impossible, diSinfectio1

For years The Herald has called attention to the
frightful conditions IN Chihuahuit1. Recently a state
expert came out here and called attention to it again.
There are occasional clashes IN the pan" Of sentiment
when these things are called TO the attention Of the
public but they soon wither and die; no c~Tystallzsd sent-
ment has yet developed sufficiently strong to demand
thst anything be done. We express horror when we hear
the conditions freshly recounted; we may even say at Is
a shame, but who Of US goes any further?
