PUBLIC TELEPHONES
A CONSTANT MENACE

The smelly public telephone booth
as a spreader of disease is the object
OF attack by The Medical Times
"As far as we know remarks that
Journal, the telephone transmitter
and the telephone booth are not in
general. subjected to rigid sanitary
control, yet it would seem that there
are few appurtenances of modern civ
ilized life that should command more
serious consideration in relation to
the personal hygiene of the people,
which we profess to wish to see cuI-
tivated to the utmost.''
Urging public measures to insure
sanitation of the earpiece. transmitter
and telephone booth, this journal con-
tinues.
The operators at toll boards in
clubs and similar places may be OBJ
served cleaning the mouth and head
pieces used by them We presume
that the company supplies the opera
tors with suitable solutions for the
purpose. Yet a toll board may be
used by only a few operators, where
as public booths are used by battal-
ions. The variety of organisms con-
tributed to a telephone booth by its
multitudinous patrons is something
fearsome to contempla
''Droplet infection is a well estab-
lished mode of disease communfca-
ton. Imagine the number of drop
lets deposited upon a telephone trans

The unpleasant odor that fingers
about most telephone transmitters has
doubtless been noted by all medical
observers; its sources and origin in

be a great harborer Of able-bodfed

WEATHER AND CROP
CONDITIONS FOR WEEK
ENDING TUESDAY, JUNE |

1t was a week of fine growing
weather, warm, with light winds and
abundant rains everywhere. All
crops made splendid growth. There
was some washing of soil on hilly
lands and some low lands were
flooded by heavy to excessive rains,
destroying late planted crops and
necessitating replanting the ground
to sorghum and feed crops.
Wheat harvest became general in
the southern portion, and was be
gun in the central counties. The
grain is mostly well filled. Wheat
is ripening fast in the northern
counties, NE grain is filling plump
and harvest will begin within the
next week, except in the extreme
northwest. Oats are fair to good,
except in the southwest portion,
where they are largely failure, too
short to cut, and a considerable
acreage has been pasturcd. Oats
are maturing rapidly, and harvest
ing was begun during the past week
in some localities in the south and
east portions.
Corn and cotton are reported good
TO excellent everywhere. Corn IS
generally well cultivated and clean,
and some early planted was laid by.
Approximately ~ per cent OF the
cotton acreage ha, been chopped to
a good stand. Rains and wet soil
during the past week delayed cult
yatiou in many localities and much
cotton IS grassy and in urgent need
OF chopping and cultivation. Sor-
ghum gram, and broom corn made
satisfactory progress and are mostly
good to excellent. Irish potatoes
are maturing and are good pros
poets. except in lew localities. where
ravaged by beetles Satisfactory
progress Was made IN transplanting
sweet potatoes. and large acreage
will be raised. An increased acre
age oi peanuts has been planted.
Pastures and truck crops are line
and the second stand oi alfalfa is
good.
