ical lesson of the Spanish-Americar|
War. Publicity is going to be thd
big safeguard against similar mis|
takes in this vastly greater enter|
prise.
1T would be we'll to emphasize
here that the work of safeguarding
the health of the army and navy
could not be in better hands than il
is right now. The medical corps Of
the United States army and navy
have led the way in many directions
in the development of military sani|
tation and disease prevention, and
the confidence the country feels in,
their leadership is thoroughly justii
fed. Best of all, in addition to the
individual high professional capacity
OF these men, the organizations as a
whole have shown an unprecendent1
ed capacity for expanding to meet
the requirements of the tremendous
ly increased task which faces them
Their broad-gauge character has
been shown nowhere to ebtter adj
vantage than in the eagerness with
which they have sought the aid Of
the best civilian professional thought
OF the country in meeting new prob
lens as they have arisen. The GEM
eral Medical Board of the Council
of National Defense, composed of
the country's biggest medical men
including the SurgeonlGenerals Of
the army and navy. has served as a
clearing house of professional opin-
ion and has brought to the solution
OF the questions at hand in concen-
trated form the best medical thought
of the nation. On the Board are
such men as DR.. Simon Flexner on
the Rockefeller Institute, Drs. Will
liam J. and Charles H. Mayo, Dr1
Victor c. Vaughan of the Uuniversi1
ty of Michigan, Dr. John M. T. F1nt
ney and DR.. William H. Welch o}
John Hopkins, Dr. Frederick A. Besl

Charles e. Kahlke of Hahneman
College, Chicago, to mention only
few. Through frequent conference

HEALTH OF Army
AND SURROUNDING
CONDITIONS ARE
CLOSELY GUARDED

me scientific opinion and judg-
ment of the medical profession OF
the whole country have been TO-
cussed during the past month on the
preparations for maintaining the
health and physical well-being OF the
vastly increased American military
forces through the Medical Section
of the Council of National Defense,
DR.. Franklin H. Martin, Chairman OF
the Committee on Medicine and
Surgery of the Advisory Commis-
sion, said in an interview made pub
lie today In this way the medical
corps of the army and navy have
been able to draw on all the best
medical thought of the nation to aid
them in solving the wholly new diff
ficulties which have arisen in the
course of the unprecedented task
which they are facing DR.. Martin
gaven unstinted praise to the per-
sonnel of the medical corps of the
two branches of the service and to
the capacity for expansion which
they had shown II an entirely new
situation.
"It is very difficulty to visualize
for the public the medical problems
involved in making war in striking
enough fashion to secure them the
public attention they shuld have"
DR.. Martin said "The work of the
army surgeon. the care of the wound
ed easily holds the public mind, but
vital as it is, it is of small import
ance compared with the far greater
task of keeping the men in the
camps and on the ships free from
disease, particularly during the
months Immediately approaching.
when by far the greater part Of the
American army will be in training.
1t is singularly true of the work of
caring for an army's health that if
it is done properly there are no un.
usual outward results-it comes to
public attention only if it is bungled.
"The trained physician knows that
unless certain precautions are taken,
dangerous eAidemics, such as ty-
phoid fever or meningitis, are al
most certain to occur in the army
camps, striking often with the most
surprising suddenness. If they do
occur, the whole country is aroused
and the entire medical force hears
from it. If the proper precautions
are taken, however, camp life is
normal, nothing happens, the lay
man does not know of, or at least
never gives thought to the effort
which was necessary to prevent the
disaster. The successful army med
ical officer can never point to his
work and say, Here, all these men
were sick, and | cured them He
can only take some dry-looking sta
tistics and point out that in the
long run few of his men were sick.
1t can be said with reasonable ac-
curacy that the less is heard of the
medical branch of an army, the more
efficient it is, because usually when
much is said about it the comment
is of very unpleasant character.
I'm some ways this is unfortunate.
because in order to impress on the
new troops themselves the necessity
OF cooperating in every way with the
army physicians in maintaining a
high health standard the public
should have very clearly in mind
the character of the problem and
the steps which are being taken to
meet it. The key to the whole sit.
uatlon is constant vigilance. and
nothing can possibly be greater

Good Roads News.

A letter received yesterday after noon from County Judge E. r. Toney contains the following information con corning the roads Referring to the dirt road between Dermott and Lake Village, he says:
 ''The water is still over small part of the road. but will be all off. 1 am informed. this week The Kelley bridge, across Bayou Mason three miles west of Lake Village, is down and has been for some time. A contract was let for new one (wooden bridge) several months ago, and would have been completed long before now had the water not come up. The eontrae- tor was here yesterday and said that the water would be low enough by next week to begin work. It will take him l5 days to complete the bridge and by the time the bridge is completed the road will be in fine shape. and traffic can be started We ought to be able to use the road between the lst and 10th of June.
 ."fhe steel bridge people inform me they will begin work soon, and assure me that they will comply with their contract and bond to have them all completed by August lst
 Judge Toney also says that, Our Arkansas Louisiana Highway is moving along nicely. The high water has de iayed the surveyors somewhat. but they have about completed their work. and are now getting up data as to costs,

 NO CHANGE AT ALL
(Philadelphia Public Ledger,

tPhlIadelpnld PuDllc LeOSef) Uniforms, even if they be of mod est khaki, exercise peculiar fascina- tion over women. Some women re- spond to it more naively than others; all feel it. In these stirring days, with marines, soldiers and sailors ev anywhere, what chance has the mere civilian? Even the twenty lovesick maidens deserted Bunthorne at the sight of gold lace. It is not strange that the clothing designers-they used to be called tailors-who are holding show in New York should exhibit costumes intended to overcome the handicap from which he who is not in the service suffers. Thus there is to be a trench coat, warranted to confer military air upon the man of ad- vancing years, stouter than he used
 to be and threatened, like Lady Jane. with still increasing corpulency. A
 more radical departure is the coat lined with pink silk and the trousers faced with the same as to their cuffs. Such extravaganza in an era of con- servation can be justified only by the desperate nature of the emergency. | For what will man not give in ex- | change for an approving look from a woman?
 | Pink silk? Why not? Let the hu-
 man male rival the male bird in l plumage~ There was a-time when he
