almost entirely upon education Of the
people of infected districts toward an
appreciation Of sanitation. The para
site thrives in the warmer sections OF
the United States and other countries
where the most rudimentary sanitary
arrangements are tolerated.
MANY obstacles stand in the way OF
complete eradication" the report con-
tinues, "even in isolated areas having
no immigration and with natural con-
ditions that either limit or preclude
intercourse with the outside world. 1t
is seldom possible to examine every In.
dividual in an area or to treat until
cured all who are found infected; when
latrincs of proper type are installed
in sufficient numbers to prevent SOIL
pollution it is still necessary to accus-
tom the people to the use Of them
and this is a task that usually requires
a long period of education and en-
lightenment; and even when both the
foregoing conditions are fulfilled there
still remains .or time the danger OF
reinfection from hookworm Larvae al

"The board has been engaged in work
against hookworm disease since 1910.
Similar work was undertaken in Porto
Rico in 1904, and the attack on the dis
case in the mines of Belgium, Holland
and Germany began as early as lsoZ,
vet it is impossible to point to any one
mine or area from which the infection
has been completely eradicated.
an the mines of Germany 1t was re-
duced from 1913 per cent in 1906 to rs

32 per cent in 1918, and in those of
the Liege district of Belgium, from 22.S
per cent in 1902 to IL per cent IN
1913. These are the nearest recorded
approaches to complete control"

The Pay of Watchmen
Positions Of Trust With Large Salaries Of $50 Per Month
By SILL PRICE.

The Congressional Committee Reclassi6eaticn Of
Federal and District employees happens to be composed Of
mighty good men-human, able and square. For that
reason 1T may not be necessary to plead with them the
cause OF hundreds of Federal and District wachen whose
small pay is humiliation and national disgrace
There will probably elapse years. though bIfore
Congress adopts the recommendations of this committee
and IN the meantime good men will be compelled to live
on basic salaries of $50 per month whose services ene
them to aHleast double this sum- They are men holding
positions OF great trust and responsibility guardians of
millions of dollars of money and property and Government
archives of untold Importance
1t would be act Of simple justice for the Recassfca
ton Commission to make the of these special and
to press upon Congress the giving of relief not done
formally it should be done informally but with persist
ency that refuses listen posponement There can be
question that injustice of the worst is being DONE
Not only the salaries of watchmen an nexcusable
shame but working hours and conditions par with
pay discrimination that is felt keeny These men
work eight hours per day, SEVEN DAYS per week Sun
days and holidays included All other civil seree
employees excused from work on Sundays and legal
holidays; likewise Saturday afternoons for three summer
months.
Hisestimated that the wachmen are compelled to work
118 days each year than other civil service employees
for which they receive pay at all They feel that In
accordance with accepted principles of justice and equality
they should be given extra compensation for this extra work
or permitted to have the time for themselves.
The argument against their being put the same
basis In working hours other employees is that there
scarcity of watchmen The for this scarcity Of
course the dsressngy small wages paid by Congress and
the hopeless outlook as to advancement.
In of the departments the watchmen's pay rolls
change often that the captains of the watch have
time to become acquainted with the and faces of the
new men. As fast find something better upon which
to meet conditions they do Single barely able

A Brutal Husband.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


My letter is different from
those you answer every day. I
have been married four years. have
no children, and have been abused
every day of that time. Ny hu~-
band Is one of those men who keep
up appearances, even though his
wife starves. He is the most jeal-
Gus person / have ever known. He
can't bear my leaving the house for
any reason at all, yet 1 never re-
member his getting home before
midnight. He beats me every day
company with other men while ne
is away, although since my mar
rage / have not as much as spoken
to another man.
You may think It strange that he
can be so Jealous. l was only q
child when we were married and am
only twenty now. He will not in
sure himself for me or give me one
cent Of an allowance, and still love
him. L. o. I.
1t is beyond understanding how
you can love a man who has treat
ed you so brutality, and, IL you wish
to put up with treatment Of this
kind, there is nothing to advise.
l should advise your talking your
case over with some lawyer. No
woman is obliged to stand daily
beatings and you would do well
to consult your priest or minister
II you have no friends in whose
discretion you can trust.
No man, entirely sane, acts as
you describe your husband. Your
health and life may be seriously in
danger. | should advise you to
act Immediately.

The least little thing sends the

Your letter strikes me as a bit

so it is for some wcmen, but they

In view of the uncertainty OF
mail intended for men in this
branch Of service, should certain
ly not hesitate TO write him and give
him my new address: Sometimes
sailors will receive several letters
at one time-after having been
without mail for weeks. This is

A Difference In Their Ages.


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am a young girl OF nineteen
and have been adopted by a wealthy
family who have shown the great
est love for me. A good friend OF
theirs is madly in love with me
and asks me to marry him. Do you
think l could ever learn to love
him, as he is sixty-flve years old,
yet he is very lively and a good
dancer. He dresses very loud"
which shows he doesn't believe in
his age. Do you think l could
overcome this? Please advise as
shall have to give my answer. soon.
RUTH.
l think it would be the greatest
mistake for a girl of nineteen to
marry a man of sixty-five, espe-
cially as you do not seem to love
him.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am In the army. and in love
with a young lady Of my own age,
which is twenty-five. Though the
acquaintance Is short, only q few
months, 1 have asked her to marry
me. She thinks favorably OF this,
her only objection being something
unhappy in her past that prevents
her from committing herself to me.
Although nothing could discourage
my love for her. I am anxiously
awaiting your reply. BUD.
As the young lady has been en-
tirely honest and frank with you,
and you both seem to care, deeply
for each other, can see no
obstacle in the way Of your mar
rage.

we married. He has not contri-
uted a cent to my support, and 1
have written to the Government,
but never received any reply. His
mother receives his money. also his
insurance, which he turned over to
her after his marriage. He believes

ing girl, and my salary alone will
not keep me. Will you kindly let
me hear from you as to where l
