New Orleans. October 27.-Creation
of a federal health office which would
coordinate the various health activi-

urged by Dr. Lee K Frankel of New
York. president of the American pub
lie health association, in his annual
address delivered at the opening to-
night of the forty-seyenth annual meet
ing of the association.
The present system whereby RESPONSE

departments results, according to DR..
Frankel, in duplication, overlapping and
waste.
IF concerted, unified, comprehen-
sive federal health programme is to be
evolved" said DR.. Frankel which will
be pattern for the states to follow !;
il we are to increase our national
vitality, recoup losses from the war and
the influenza epidemic; if we are to
profit by the lessons of the draft which
showed only too glaringly our physical
defects and our lack of provision to
prevent them; if we are to develop a
people which shall be virile. strong,
competent and efficient, then we must
have a centralized, co-ordinated, pro-
gressive federal health agency under
competent leadership and with ade-
quate staff and ample financial re-
sources"

NEED NO INTERFERENCE

The relation between employe and
employer in this company has proven
beyond question that matters pertain
ing to any operation that concerns Inc
management and the employees can
best be settled without interference
on the part of third party, especially,
when the sole reason for the existence
of that third party is to keep things
in a state of constant agitation.
TT is a recognized fact that if there
were no strikes or lockouts there
would be no occasion for agitators,
organizers. or those who by insidiou5
propaganda hope to overthrow our
government and replace it with gov
eminent similar to that of Russia.
NOW. another issue faces us. At a
time when production is most neces-
sary with winter staring us in the
face, with the highest wages known
in the history of mining, and in vio-
lation of contract which was made
effective until the treaty of peace was
signed, or April 1. 1920, the United
Mine Workers of America have made
demands which are unreasonable, un-
warrantable, unsound, unsuitable, I'M
timely and unwise.

NOT WILL OF MAJORITY


TT is not believed that these de-
mands represent the will of the ma
jority of the coal miners of this coun-
try. No earnest, painstaking, worthy
laborer will ever be satisfied to work
six hours per day
mo conscientious man can look his
employer, or the world. in the face
and say that six hours constitutes a
fair days work. No man who is am
bilious to move upward can crafty
his aspirations by working five days
per week. The holy admonition, Six
days shalt thou labor is being sup
planted by the doctrines of Lenine and
Trotzky.
THE question of wage increases has
been thoroughly discussed and thought
over by some of the best brains of our
country. At the time of the threat
ened strike of railroad shopmen, the
President of the United States laid
down the principle that there should
be no further incFeases in wages until
the government failed in it's efforts 10
reduce the cost of living.
1T was emphasized at that time, by
the President, that the only way to
reduce the cost of living was to IN
crease production and he laid partic-
ular stress on the fact that production
could not be increased unless every
! man did his full duty in whatever line
of work he followed. by working reg
ularly and earnestly.

ment in it's efforts, and every man who
has been striker has not been a good

ent man believes that our government

Dirigible Balloon Lands.

Cleveland, May 23.-For the first
time in the history of flying in Amer
lea a vehicle of the air was brought
to convenient stop in the heart Of
large city when a dirigible bal
loon landed on the top of prominent
hotel here this evening to permit two
of it's five passengers to alight. The
160-foot dirigible, the A, landed
on a specially constructed platform
3Ox30 feet. The landing was made
after many attempts.
The balloon, piloted by James
Shade, made the trip from Wingfoot
Lake, naval air station near Akron,
approximately 35 miles, in a little
more than one hour despite the fact
that it faced a still wind.
Ralph H. Upson, worlds champion
balloonist, winner of the last inter-
national balloon race, which was
held at aris in 1913, and Maj. c. H.
Maranville, flying instructor at the
training station, were among the pas
sengers.

SCORE OF PERSONS KILLED.
Great Explosion in Starch Works.
Loss, $3,OOO,OOO.

Cedar Rapids, Mich, May ga
score of persons were killed and a
hundred injured in an explosion at
the Douglas Starch Works tonight.
Of the $50 men and boys who had
just gone to work in the shift, few
escaped injury or death. The entire
plant was burned by resultant fire
which was confined to the Douglas
plant. The loss is 100000.
The number of dead could not be
estimated for some time by firemen,
who began to extricate dead and
wounded from the debris hastily to
avoid incineration.
So severe was the explosion that
persons were thrown from chairs
mile away. The cause of the accident
could not be determined, but it is
thought to have been due to either a
defective boiler or spontaneous COM
bustion.
The blast blew in windows many
blocks from the Douglas plant, and
persons within Office buildings suf-
fered from the shattered glass.

BIG HAUL NEAR AIKEN.
Ten Whiskey Stills Captured at Brick
Yard.

Aiken, May 23.-Sheriff Howard,
accompanied by United States Depu-
ties Smyrl, Tanning, Rector and
Coleman, made a big catch this aft
ernoon in the illicit whiskey line, at
Hankinson's brick yard, near Angus
ia, on the Hamburg side of the Sa-
vannah. The deputies swooped down
on the premises without any warn
ing and captured 10 stills, 200 gal
Ions of mash also being seized.
1t appears that the night crew of
negro laborers have been in COM
bine for some time past in the whis-
key-making business, and as the fire
and smoke of the big brick kiln acted
as a sort of caamoufage for the
"booze" fumes, no one suspected that
such a daring business was in. opera
ton.
The officers arrested nine of the
men and they are now in the Aiken
county Jail.
This makes the third raid of the
officers this week. Yesterday large
still was seized near Hamburg and
John Stevens was taken to the lookup
charged with moonshining. The
stills were too heavy and numerous
to move at once so they were placed
under guard.
Sheriff Howard and the deputies
believe that regular business has
been done by the negroes of Hamburg
neighborhood for some time in sly
"booze' making and selling.
