SITUATION IS
BElNCREALlZED
Great Demand Upon Health Au-
thOrities for Plans and Spec
ificatiOns for Septic Tanks
Experienced

Pensacola people are beginning to
realize the importance Of sanitation
and the work being done here Under
the supervision OF the state and federal
health authorities in cooperation with
the CITY," states DR.. F. l. Tatom, dis
trict state health officer.
DIR. Tatom says that applications
have been received from more than
1900 plans and specifications for the
septic tanks to be instaTed in parts
of the city not having sanitary sew
erage as prescribed in the recent city
sanitary ordinance being rigidly car
ried out here, and that the people gen.
orally seem ready to lend their CO.
operation in the health measure.
These plans and specifications may
be had either at the State Laboratory
or from the city hall, and in view of
the great demand DR.. Tatom suggests
that contractors who might desire to
do so figure on these plans and speci-
fications with a view to determining at
what cost the tanks might be con-
t-ucted in large numbers. This would
facilitate the work of complying with
the law and would also insure the
installation of these tanks at the least
possible cost.
In this connection DR.. Tatom states
that the state law prohibiting the in
stallation of cess pools will be as rig
idly enforced as any of the health
measures now being carried out here.
The cess pool has been found to be
very unsatisfactory and unsafe to the
public health. hence the necessity for
its obliteration.
The septic tanks. which have been
adopted by the health authorities as
the most practical and economical.
where water is accessible. are to be
about FIVE feet long, three feet wide
and four feet deep to care for the
sewage for an ordinary family. The
process Of germ destruction is natu-
rally consistent with the design OF
these tanks.
In sections of the city not having city
or or other water supply easily avail
able a specific form Of can sewage is
prescribed. .-

associations played an important parr
in the home building activities of the
nation and it was the hope of the de-
partment of labor that their field o.
usefulness might be enlarged. Gu.
of this conference came the move
mcnt in favor of n national system
of Home Loan Banks through which
these associations might rediscouut
their securities and make available
for further loans n greater portion
Cf their assets.
The chief work of the building and
loan associations is lending money TO
home builders. Association represen-
tatives. in the Washington conference
suggester that congress enact a law
permitting these associations to or
ganize regional banks, capitalized by
the associations and operated by them
under government supervision. The
purpose of this was to provide a re-
gional bank which would perform for
building associations n service sim
liar to that performed by the Federal

DRY AMERICA
English Read Eagerly Every Item
Published Concerning Attitude Of
the United States Toward Prohi-

LONDON, Sept. 12.-Britons are
deeply interested in what is called the
American prohibition experiment.
and every published statement con.
cerning the situation and the attitude
of the American public toward the
new order is eagerly read.
The latest addition to such con-
tributions is by the Archdeacon Of
Warrington, Canon Howson, who has
just returned from New York, and
who unqualifiedly endorsed the law.
His impressions, concisely stated, are
as follows:
Prohibition has come to stay in
the states. Those most opposed to II
accept the inevitable. Those who have
paved the way for it are facing law
enforcement. A very large majority,
to judge to hearsay and eyesight,
agree that 1t is the best thing for
America. The threats of mo beer.
no work and riot and revolution
are empty vaporings, and the work Of
the states and cities is going on un-
impaired. Smuggling of liquor will
go ON for a time. but by January the
will have the situation
we'll in hand. Prosperity is the result.
Instead Of saloons at the corners of
the streets. banks are appearing.

known, has appeared on every hand
md children and young people are
having their opportunity.
"A dry America will be a terrific
.ival to countries which are wet

men had better recognize this il they
,ave not already done so. Dryness
loes not kill joy. l voyaged on a
Try ship and a wet one, and the ex-
perience was Illuminating. I have

her views on Great Britain. She has

any way she can help progress, she is
here to render that help"

MONTENEGRO LIVES
IN DIRE IGNORANCE
OF HYGIENE RULES

PARIS, Sept. 12.-Inhabitants Of
the mountains of Montenegro live in
ignorance of the most elementary
rules of hygiene and the strangest
superstitions concerning diseases still
flourish among them, says a report OF
the mission of the American Red
Cross which has just returned from
that country.
The mountainers believed that ply.
sical ailments were carried on the
wings of baleful breezes and that
contagious diseases were distributed
during dark nights by evil spirits
Thus they slept with their windows
bermetically sealed and tuberculosis
reigned supreme. The peasants re-
ceived the advices, suggestions and
madeleine of the American Red Cross
without enthusiasm.
One aged man suffering from a
chronic affection of the throat insist
ed that it was caused by his tongue
being too small. He refused to make
use of the antiseptic gargle supplied
by the Red Cross until doctor told
him it would make his tongue grow.
He was the most surprised Montene-
grin in the world when after few
days he was cured.

-Alaska's dwindling silver horde

Silver wanderers of the sea, the

from returning to their fresh water

mon, tn esalmon simply hasn't a
chance for survival" he asserted.
Stringent protection laws are
needed, DR.. Gilbert believes. Man
destroyed the salmon horde and it
will be for man to build it up again
If the salmon industry is to con-
tinue," he said recently. "Only strict
legislation that will close the prin-
cipal fishing grounds to trapmen and
nets for years to come will prevent
the extinction of the salmon. Today
rivers that once supplied the largest
number of fish furnish but a hand
full compared with their former
amounts.
"There is nothing that can take
the place of the salmon. This sum-
mer in many places 1 saw only thou
sands of fish where years ago mill
