Hygiene is The art Of preserving
health; that is, of obtaining the most
perfect action of body and mind dur
ing as long period as is consistent with
the laws Of life" So wrote q man who
devoted all his adult life to the promo
ton Of the public health and who died
at the age of 90 Of pulmonary tuberculo-
sis. Edmund Alexander Parkeg, born
March %, 1919, physician, surgeon, san
itarian and author, left perhaps greater
impress on sanitary science than any
Englishman of the nineteenth century.
His work ranges from the theoretical
consideration of the minutest details Of
chemical and physiological research to
the practical consideration Of the cleans
ing of q sewer or the tightening of the
soldiers knapsack. India, the Crimea and
London saw his labors and benefited
thereby.
War brings some good things in It's
train. Just as the Napoleonic campaigns
perfected the art of transporting the
sick and the loss of life from preyentable
disease in the Spanish war quiekened the
sanitary conscience Of the American peo-
pie, so the horrors of the Crimean cam
paign made Parkes professor Of mil
itary hygiene. He organized complete
course of instruction based on the pKin-
cipIe that the student must be able to
practically apply the lessons which he
learned. Many of the sanitary reforms
which he inaugurated are now bearing
fruit in the improvement of the well
being Of the community at large.
Health is the efficient reaction Of the
mind and body to its environment. Self
interest, state benefit and pecuniary profit
require that the whole nation be inter
ested In the proper treatment OF every
one of its members and "in its own In
terest it has a right to see that the
relations between individuals are not
such as in any way to injure the we'll
being Of the community at large" This
is being realized in the United States to-
day as never before and on every hand
the general government, the state and
local health authorities and the general
public are seen striving toward the ac-
complishment Of this ideal.

BUILDING TRUST INQUIRY TAKEN
 UP BY CHICAGO
Construction Throttled in Dozen Large Cities of
 United States, Claim. ESTIMATES IDENTICAL New York Building Company Officials Testify Compet-
 tive Bids Impossible.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2i.-Following tes- timony before the New York legis- lative committee Investigating New York's alleged building trust that the trusts notifications. reached throughout the United States, throt- tied construction in dozen large cities except on prices and terms laid down by the trust, the Federal Grand Jury today began investisa- tion of alleged trust methods. Sey- eral truckloads of records were brought before the jury as the first evidence to be considered.
 In the New York inquiry officials of the two largest construction cor porations in the country testified that it was impossible to obtain con- petitive bids in nearly a dozen lines of materials.
 Contractors for sand, gravel, mar ble, plumbing. limestone, brick, se- ment, lime, crushed stone, and fire proofing work invariably turned m identical estimates, while the lumber trade was pretty well lined up with prices uniform, they said.
 Only one insignificant part of the sand business in New York, 2,000 cubic yards out of one million cubic yards, brought monthly to the met side the board of trade" which 1t was testified, had fixed and boosted prices.
 Prices of brick have toppled, the testimony showed, from the fictitl- ous level of $32.50" down to $15 since the investigation began bombarding the alleged combines.
 The Thompson and Starrett Com pany which built the Woolworth and Equitable Life skyscrapers and which does an annual business of $60,000.- 900. found it futile to seek com petitive bids in New York. Louis Horowitz, its president, testified.
 His revelations of identical esti- mates were supported by James A. Mears. vice-president of the Fred T. Ley Company. which has $l6,OOO,OO0 worth of construction under way here at present.
 Structural steel, one of the flow building materials which they did not mention as controlled in New York, cannot be had by the Thompson Starrett Company because it does not operate under an "open shop"
 Previously, Eugene Grace, Presi- dent of the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, had admitted on the stand that 1t was not the policy of his company to sell fabricated steel unless 1t is to be used in construction where "open shop conditions prevail

Al Simpson Arrested on Two Serious Charges = Two
 Companions Get Away.
PETERSBURG MAN BEATEN
Iron Bar Used by Assailants Who Take Casboat Alpha
 From Public Wharf.

Al Simpson was arrested here last warrant from Petersburg on double charge, one alleging assault with intent to kill, the other for grand larceny. The arrest was made by U. S. Deputy Marshal N. o. Hardy who located his man aboard the gasboat Rescue at the city float.
 Harry Noylor, wanted on similar charges, and Martin Klabo wanted for grand larency, who 1t is yprac- t.cally certain were in town last night, according to Deputy Hardy, escaped without detection and have fort to run them down, Deputies Hardy and Garster on the Fisheries boat Murre, Capt. George Maud, left this morning at o'clock searching the shore line down as far as Point Arden, thence to Divers Inlet, Point at noon today. No trace of the Rescue, which is owned by Klabo, was discovered.
 The crimes for which the men are being sought are said to have been committed at Petersburg on December IT. Simpson and Noylor are alleged to have gone aboard the gasboat Alpha while it was tied up at the Citizens Wharf there and beat up its owner Harry Ringstead with an iron bar, throwing him off on to the wharf and taking the Alpha away. Later the stolen boat was recovered but had been footed. Klabo is believed to have been i'm plicated in the footing of the boat : On a complaint sworn to by Ring stead, U. s. Commissioner M. S. Per kins, of Petersburg issued warrants for the arrest of Noylor and Simp- son, telegraphing them with de- scriptions of the men to the local U S. Marshal's office. Today tele- graphic description of and warrant for Klabo was also received.
 The local officials have been keep ing watch for the suspects, and when Deputy Hardy boarded the Rescue last night, he immediately recognized Simpson, placing him under arrest. He was taken to the Federal jail and the officers return ed to the float to find that Klabo had become alarmed and with Noy- Tor had put out on the Rescue.
 When arrested and informed of the charges against him, Simpson declared he knew nothing about the Alpha incident He denied even being acquainted with Noylor and said that Klabo was the only other man aboard the Rescue. Inquiries made about town by the officials. however, it is stated, make it vir- tually certain that Noylor was aboard the Rescue.
 Deputy Hardy said today that in going over the vessel last night, he noticed that 1t had few supplies and he believes that it will be forced to put into some nearby point to replenish its stock. Notice of their escape has been given by at all possible points of communication and their capture is believed to be but a matter of a short time.
