UNIFORM ACTION AGAINST

Two members Of the board Of Super
gisers, Louisiana State University,
Judge s, Met. LawFason and Col. T.
Jones Cross, have eoarteously called
our attention TO an iuaeeuraey In our
editorial OF last week, regarding the
recent hazing at the University. II is

Col. cross states that notice was
read In battalion and also sent to the
diifereat fraternItes. The impression
prevails In Baton Rouge however. that
the enforcement Of the regulation
against this form Of haxing came like
lightning from a clear sky, and this
impression led TO criticism OF Col Boyd

POPULAR EXCUSE FOR FAILURE

"A good workman cannot be made from
an unhappy man." We forget whether we
read this on a church bulletin or at a gaso-
line station; we only remember the line be-
cause it is all wrong
Some of the best workrnen in the history
of human activity have been famous for
unhappiness.
"He forgot his unhappiness in his work, -
we find to be the secret of success of all the
heroes of classic as we'll as film fiction.
Can the men in Europes trenches be de-
scribed as happy? Assuredly not, but they
are getting to be better workmen in the
hideous trade of war every day.
It is not necessary to be happy in the
world; it is only necessary to be good in
our work, as in everything we do.
THE good, the true and the beautiful "
preached the ancient Greeks, but they did
not add word about being happy.
The theory quoted in the first line pro-
notes weakness and incompetency
The reason for dwelling on it is that it is
becoming much too popular to excuse fail

men Of virus already present and left
over from a previous epidemic after
a resting period and similar passages,
again becomes active and reaches an
infective power which, equals or even
exceeds that originally possessed. An
other but more indefinite factor re-
lates to the degree of susceptibility
among children and others affected
which at one period may be greater
or less than at another.
Varying Individual SusceptibiIities.
Not all children and relatively few
adults are susceptible to infantile pa
ralysis. Young children are more
susceptible generally speaking than
older ones; but no age can be said to
be absolutely insusceptible. When sew
eral children exist in a family or in
group, one or more may be affected,
while the others escape or seem to
escape. The closer the family or other
groups are studied by physicians, the
more numerous it now appears are
the number of cases among them.
This means that the term infantile
paralysis is a misnomer, since the
disease arises without causing any
paralysis whatever, or such slight and
fleeing paralysis as to be difficult of
detection. The light or abortive cases,
as they are called, indicate a greater
general susceptibility than has always
been recognized; and their discovery
promises to have far-reaching conse-
quences in respect to the means en-
ployed to limit the spread or eradicate
| foci of the disease.
Period of Incubation.
Like all other infectious diseases,
infantile paralysis does not arise at
once after exposure, but only after an
intervening lapse of time called the
period of incubation. This period is
subject to wide limits Of fluctuations;
in certain instances it has been as
short as two days, in others it has
been two weeks or possibly even long
er. But the usual period does not
exceed about eight days.

OUR HOUSE IN ORDER.

Pensacola's Cleanup Week will be from
July "a to July %, but number of people
throughout the city have already begun
work.
This readiness to cooperate with the
authorities augurs we'll for the forthcoming
sanitary campaign.
The fear of infantile paralysis is no doubt
responsible for this alacrity, for about the
only thing known about the mysterious
.scourge is that it breeds in filth.
But all disease breeds in filth, and the
house fly is the hand-maiden of infection
the Ganymede, so to speak, of pestilence.
Ifweeds are cut and drainage established
the mosquito and fly nuisance will be
abated and Pensacola will be model in
fact as it is in appearance.
If our screening and other sanitary laws
are enforced, Pensacola, with its hills and
natural drainage, can easily be made STAN
sdard of hygiene. If necessary the city
should make provision for an extra force of
inspectors during Cleanup Week This
expense should take precedence over all
others, for the peoples health is supreme.

THE COUNTY BUDGET.

The Gulf Beach Highway, is now an as
erred fact due-to the far sightedness OF the
County commissioners, which at the meet
inc of Tuesday, appropriated the sum OF
81 800 to complete that important highway.
Il was for this road that Pensacola raised
something like $4,000 couple months ago,
by popular subscription. The city and the
county then are working in the utmost har-
mony.
It is a noteworthy fact that the three
country members of the board were IN taV-
or of the road, while the two city members
opposed it. w. T. Tracy and ]. @. White, OF
Pensacola, both voted against the road that
will put Pensacola on the summer tourist
map: whereas Geo w Davis and M. ..
Baggett, were for it; the deciding vote
being cast by w. G. Barrineau.
The Board also appropriated S15,OOO tor
the Molino bridge, for which provision had
previously been made.
In appropriating $1,000 for building dip
ping watts, and making provision for the sal
ary of the Home Demonstration Agent,
the board proved itself imbued with the new
ideas of progress. 1t is of course to be re-
GREETED that County Agent Hats full sal
arv was not included in the budget, but we
must remember THAT Tic Iunuo WSlC NEWS
sari1y limited. Next year no doubt the
county will undertake the emolument of the
county agent, the Importance of whose
work is being proved every day Until thai
time the crop improvement association, LEI
us hope, will continue his salary
Meanwhile, city and county are growing
into a better understanding every day. The
business men of Pensacola are pinning their
faith to the agricultural development of Es
Gambia, and the farmers are doing all they
can to attract people to West Florida.

THE NAVY BILL.

Nothing shows more clearly the growth
of the preparedness idea than the naval bill
adopted by the senate.
The bill as it passed the house, provided
for only seventy-two ships in all
The plan adopted by the senate more
than doubled that number
Under the senate program, 157 ships are
to be constructed by July l, 1919, as fol-
lows: Ten battleships, four this year; six
battle cruisers, four in 1917; ten scout
cruisers, four in 1917; so detroyers, twenty
in 1917; nine fleet submarines, two to be
complete in 1917; ffty-eight coast sub
marines, thirty in 1917 Other ships in
clude one submarine of different system
of propulsion; three fuel ships two ammu-
milton ships, one hospital ship, one repair
ship, one transport, two destroyer tenders,
one feet submarine, and two gunboats
The house bill, it will be recalled, pro-
vided for only five capital ships in all, and
they were only battle cruisers. The senate
provided for six cruisers and ten super
dreadnaughts.
Events have proved the submarine most
effective weapon, but they have also
demonstrated that the control Of the seas
rests with the heaviest battleships and the
most far-shooting guns. 1t is well for the
United States to develop its submarine sys-
tenn of protection, but the country has at
last come to realize that adequate prepared
ness is an impossibiliy without a powerful
fleet.
