SEVENTEEN CASES OF

Measles Prove Fatal In Forty Cases,
and Whooping Cough Has Forty-six

History of City.

The year 1916 was in a number of
respects the most interesting in the
history of the Richmond Health De-
partment during the ten full years
since its reorganization in 1905.
Hardly had the year opened when
the first case of leprosy ever known
to be in Richmond was reported. The
case was a Greek who had been in
this country seven years, having I'M
doubtedly contracted the disease In
his own country and landed in the
United States before the first symp-
toms had developed
During the seven years he had been
in the United States. this Ieper had
wandered from one place to another.
He had been employed as a dish
washer in a number of leading hotels,
When reported to the Health Depart
ment he had been in Richmond only
five days. which he had spent at a
lodging house. Immediate arrange
ments were made for receiving him,
and in less than two days he was COM
fortably lodged in house on the
grounds of the smallpox hospital.
Here he has been ever since, and here
he will probably remain until the
Federal government establishes a ma
tional leprosarium, unless, as seems
likely from the rate al which a bill
for this purpose is progressing in Con-
gress. death claims him first.
Camp Stuart Bad for Health.
The next unusual event from a
health standpoint was the establish
ment of Camp Stuart. at the Fair
Grounds This was done on a very
few days notice. AS soon as the
troops began to arrive, loud complaint
np iru ,i+ a nv
the medical officers. The chief health
officer was asked to inspect conditions
and report to Governor Stuart.
This inspection showed that the
Administrative Board had accom-
complished an extraordinarily amount
of work in the few days which had
elapsed since ii was known that the
troops would come here. and that
every bad condition which had been
brought to their attention was be-
Ing attended to with the utmost eX-
petition. Within an hour after the
chief health officer had made his in
spection. his report was in the hands
of the Governor and within another
hour the Administrative Board had
empowered the chief health officer to
adopt any further measures which he
deemed necessary TO improve condi-
tions.
Bos~a of Health Goes Out.
The most important event of the
year for the Richmond Health De
partment was on July l. when the
Board OF Health, in accordance with
n charter change adopted by the
General Assembly of Virginia. went
out OF existence and the Health De-
partment went under the Admins
trative Board.
The Board of Health had been In
existence exactly ten years. The plan
creating the Board of Health had
been adopted by the City Council after
very mature consideration and after
calling on prominent health authori-
ties for advice. During the entire ten
years of it's existence there had beer
no change In the personnel OF the
board. and they had every second

Throw At Unseen raroets,

On the common not 200 yards from
the hutments there are many queer
earthworks where recruits in the re-
serve battalion of the London regi-
ment are taught almost under war con-
ditiOns, says the London Times. They
are given bombing practice in all its
different stages, and the raw recruit
finds that the hurting of q Mills is not
as easy as it looks at first sight. First
Of all, the men throw the grenades in
the open at well-defined mark, until
after some weeks training they are
able to throw from the directions of an
observer with periscope, who watches
for the heads of the enemy to pop up.
These heads are on hinge, and may
appear in any one of half dozen diff
ferent traverses or emplacements. The
observer has to be continually on the
alert. and the bomber must also keep
all his wits about him, so that he can
make his blind throw as eflicacious as
possible.

Wives as WAGE Farmers.

More than one-tenth of the married
women Of the United States We're en-
gagged in gainful occupations in 1910,
according to figures recently given out
by the bureau Of the census, and over
25 per cent Of all women sixteen
years old or over We're wage earners,
business women, etc. Since 1910 the
per centages undoubtedly have in
creased rather than diminished, for
the tendency CT womer in this coun-
try has been toward greater economic
freedom for many years. In 1900 the
number cf married women in gainful
Occupations was only 100000, while in
1910 it was 100000, says Popular Me-
,chanies. TIE statistics referred ':'; to
show that the proportion Of wonlen--
married, single and wilowel-who are
earning their living is greater than
ever before, but it is particularly in
teresting to find that of all the groups
cited, the proportionate increase in
the number Of married women is the
greatest.

where RATS ARE PROTECTED
In Copper Mines Of Michigan Rodents
Are Regarded as Preventors, Not
Carriers, Of Disease.

There are few places in the world
where rats are we'll thought of, but in
the copper mines Of Michigan there ro-
dents, SO universally dcspised, aad
causing so much danger to health and
damage to property everywhere else,
are regarded differently. In the shafts
of the copper mines hundreds Of feet
below the surface dwells a species Of
rat that never sees the light of day
and is held in high appreciation by
the miners. It Is because these UNDER
ground rodents are valuable to SANTA
tion, preventers rather than carriers
of disease. They indulge in no depre-
dations for the reason they exist with
In rockbound walls inclosing nothing
possible for animals such as they de-
stroy.
The rats are the scavengers Of the
mines. They keep the workings clear
Of refuse. They are protected by the
men; are often fed from dinner pals
and have become so accustomed to
the miners that they frisk about the
workers wholly unafraid, secure in the
apparent realization that, while else
where they are hunted and slain as
enemies Of mankind, underground they
are treated as allies and are immune
from harm.

SILK HAT LOSES POPULARITY

Our Grandfathers wore '.stovepipe

This male head-dress, even more ex-

etiquette sometimes say should not
call "silk hat" but a 'high hat" In
London but a few years ago no man
ever went into the city with other
than top hat, or stopper" as they say
over there.
1t is said that the going out Of gen.

casioned in a considerable degree by
the popularity Of raincoats in prefer
ence to Umbrellas. If you observe any
great crowd in England today you will
find in it few hats of any kind; 1t is

Hunters Moon.

The hunters moon is waning, but
there has been very little service for
1t during the month, except for lovers,
says the Columbus CO., State Journal.
The game question is pretty near
solved. It is so different from the old
days, when man could take his shot
gun and 60 out to the woods and bring
In bag Of squirrels and birds in a few
hours-enough for the family and a
neighbor or two. Then he asked no
favors Of the moon. The game was
plenty and the days were long in the
good old time. In those days we had
pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we
didn't want the moon to put itself out
Of the way on our account. In these
days the hunters moon is beautiful
sentiment, but it makes no pie. How
shy she was last week, when coquet-
ing with Jupiter for an evening or two,
and then slipped of to the east and re.
fused to return.

Min with man; Chou with child; Chi
with she, and many more. In each
case the sound of the words was strik.

FOUND WAY TO KILL TIME
French Made Many Copies In Long.
hand Of 4 Poem Which Consisted
Of $4,000 Verses.

Today, when there is such a prem
fun on time, one finds it hard to real
ize the condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:
I'm it's day, and for two or three
centuries later, The Romance of the
Rose was the most popular work COM
posed in medieval Europe. 1t consists
of about $4,000 eight-syllable verses in
the old French original. That forms
very considerable poem. A poem
in two volumes would be sufficient in
our day to rebuff most readers. But
think Of copying out in longhand such
q poem!
"Time was something to be killed
by our ancestors, and hands were
found to copy this endless poem al
most 200 times. That is to say, we
have nearly 200 French manuscripts
Of the Roman de In Rose and that
does not account for all those that
must have been lost in the course of
COO years.
However the figures give us some
idea of what medieval literary popu.
larity was."

MARK Hanna's Aztec Servant.
An introduction to some of the lead.
ers will show that there are brains as
we'll as bullets behind the Zapata
movement.
Gen. Alfredo Serratos was a former
lawyer, who had made good record
as soldier. It will surprise Ameri.
cans to learn that he was at one time
servant Of Mark Hanna, the noted
politician Of Ohio. His history is a
romantic one. AS homeless waif he
was taken to the United States by an
American, who promised to give him
an education. In Cleveland, O., the
American died, and young Serratos
was left stranded. For three years he
worked at the home Of Senator Hanna.
moving lawns and caring for horses.
Later the young Mexican returned to
Mexico and studied law. He speaks
three languages fluently. In the con.
vention cabinet he was elected secre.
tary Of war. These were some of the
men who We're Zapata's lieutenants
