IN MEMORIAM

OF Pauline Anthony Willoughby
who died July Is, 1919.
In the lonely grave she sleeps,
Far beneath the sacred sod;
The angles watch her peaceful grave,
While her soul has gone to God
Many now do feel her loss,
AS hot tears from our eyelids fall
Earth has lost beautiful life,
While heaven had gained loving
soul.
Rest in peace, my dear sweet sister
Four long lonely months have pass
ed away;
But your face is yet before me,
And your voice like birds at break
of day.
One by one sweet ones are taken,
Just as roses bloom to fall;
Then | kindly stop remember,
Pain and sadness comes to all.
Since you've gone, the home is lonely,
For your dear face was like the sun;
Glad our hearts will be to meet you,
When the Father bids us come.
For face we loved is gone forever,
And happy voice is stilled
A place in Kirk now vacant,
That no one else can ever fill
Written by her sister, Mrs. Cordelia
Anthony Dooley.

COUNTY HEALTH
WORK BUREAU
Created BY the State Board Of
Health. To Give $1,000
Annually.

Because of the desire among a mum.
Der of counties to maintain efficient
full-time Health Officers, the Ken.
lucky State Board of Health has
created a Bureau of County Health
Work, whose activities will be solely
devoted to assisting in financing and
promoting the work of such depart
ments.
DR.. p w. Covington, of the Inter-
national Health Board, has been loan
ed to the State for the purpose of as
Stunning the Dictatorship of the
Bureau
In the beginning a large part of his
time will be devoted to assisting coun-
ty health authorities in organizing
full-time health departments.
DIR. Covington brings to the State,
wide experience in such work, having
spent the last ten years in organizing
county health departments through
out the South, as well as in some OF
the foreign countries.
The State Board of Health is now
in position to give $4,000 90 annually
to the first FIVE counties making like
appropriation. The 100000 thus
provides for, in each of the FIVE coun-
ties, to be used in employing a ply
stefan, trained in public health work,
and an adequate number of assistants,
such as public health nurses, micros-
copists and sanitary inspectors, who
will devote their entire time to the
prevention of sickness within the
county.
Z
to show at the end of the first years
work such a decrease in the death
rate from preventable diseases, in the
FIVE counties selected, as will create
desire among a large number of
counties for such departments, by
which time it is hoped that such ar
rangements will have been made as
will enable the Board to financially
cooperate with most of the counties
or groups of counties in the State.

FAST TIME MADE
BY OFFICERS IN
MEMPHIS FLIGHT

Major Wash and Lieut.. Rogers, of
Scuther Field, who left Tuesday morn
ing for Memphis, encountered bad
weather on almost the entire trip, and
Major Wash was forced to land at
Tuscaloosa, Ala, according to informa-
ton received here. Lieut.. Rogers
completed the trop of 40 miles in
four and quarter hours. They flew
IN the new DeHaviland planes.
The pair had intended returning to
Americas today, after spending the
New Year in Memphis, but no word
had been received this afternoon at
the post from them, and it was thought
because of the thick weather they
would not undertake the return today.
The following press dispatch from
Memphis tells of their trip:
Lieut.. Emory Rogers, in charge OF
flying at Souther Field, arrived at
Park Field, with his mechanic at
1854 p. m. Tuesday Major Carlisle
H. Wash, commanGant at Souther
Field, who started the flight with
Lieut.. Rogers in similar airplane,
was forced to land at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
soon after leaving Taylor Field, Mont
gomery, Ala, because of engine trou-
BILE, and is proceeding to Park Field
by rail
Lieut.. Rogers actual flying for the
40 mile flight was 4 hours and Is
minutes, stops having been made at
Taylor Field, Montgomery, and at
Payne Field, West Point, Miss. He
said the entire flight was made in a
driving, binding rain, which, until the
major was forced to land at Tusca-
loosa, prevented them from seeing
each other when more than hundred
feet apart.
All except about 5 miles of the
hight had to be made at an altitude not
exceeding 25O feet, he said, and be-
tween Payne Field and Park Field, a
distance of 100 miles, which was Gov
