President Is Accepted
as Mediator in Armenia


 PRESIDENT WILSON'S offer of his personal mediation through a representative, to end hostilities in Armenia, was joyfully accepted by the council of the League of Nations.
 The Presidents magnanimous act will not only create new hope in the League of Nations, but it will meet with the approval of every Ameri- can citizen who feels that it would be indefensible for America to stand idly by when there was an oppor- tunity to do something for a country which needs the help of the world. It is true that MT. Wilson makes no promises for the American gov ernment and will act in an unofficial capacity, but he will be assured of the cooperation of Europe's principal powers and he will have the weight of public opinion behind him in the United States. In spite of a disas- trous election and some loss of prestige in Europe, MT. Wilson is still the worlds foremost humani- tarian and his influence is sufficiently great to warrant the belief that he will be able to stop the tragedy of Armenia"
 MT. Wilson's prestige and disin- terestedness will have much weight both with the Armenians and the Turks. The Armenians feel that Americans are friendly toward them and have no desire to exploit them. Similarly, the Turks, who are with out friends in Europe, have shown themselves eager to conciliate America.
 Much will depend on MT. Wilson's representative who will be entrusted with the delicate task of conferring with Mustapha Renal Pasha, leader of the Turkish nationalist movement. Henry Morgenthau, former ambas- sador to Turkey, has been mentioned as the man best fitted for this inn portant mission. MT. Morgenthau's knowledge and experience would make him an admirable choice. His diplo- matic work in Turkey was distin- guished by tact and good sense.

Clearing Up the System

Lots of the boys who voted the re- publican ticket after lifelong demo- cratic tenure of service, are just as good democrats now as before they went astray that one tine." said A. R. Dearborn. Tt was just matter of getting it out of the system. Somehow every man felt that something was wrong somewhere, wrong with himself as well as with others. Many bent under the weight of the big profits that they had made during the war and that of the hood things that had been heaped on them. They wanted to wipe the slate clean, get the indictme ment quashed.
 The only way open to complete cleansing of the system seemed to be to declare the court adjourned and sum- mons brand new panel of jurors. There was no special political malice. It was political bile from over-indul- gence in all manner of things that had so gorged one that he wanted an en- tirely new deal. They got the change. Now they are the same good democrats as before, and this will be shown next election day"

Machines Limitations

Tt came very near being good one on the operations of the Traffic Bureau" said Charles Jones, assistant manager. We were making totals on our adding machine. Our machine has seven digits. which is ample for ordinary purposes. However, when you get into the hun dreds of thousands and the fractional items under dollar in connection herewith, you are just one space shy. The result is that the machine registers correctly except the first digit.
 Our total showing in a certain de- pertinent is $1s3.000 and odd dollars and cents. The machine, in making the total credited us with the $93,000 and odd dollars and cents. emitting the digit which meant $100,000. Worst of it was that we were about to give out that small and erroneous total before we thought of and caught the error. Ma chimes as we'll as men have their limi- tations."

General Blue of the Public Health Ser
vice, who. is chairman of the malaria
| committee and will remain at the head
| naval establishments. The Public
Health Service has distributed thous-
ands of copies of pamphlets, bulletins
and posters in the campaign of edu-
cation.
Besides dealing with the malaria
problem from the standpoint of health
and eflcinecy, the government is also
treating it in relation to crop produc-
ton. Dr.. d. l.. Van Dine of the bureau
of Entomology, Departni icnt of Agri-
culture, has been working on the prob
lem from this angle in Louisiana
where the mosquito is being fought
by various methods. The annual eco
nomic loss due to malaria has been
variously estimated at from 100000
600 to 81 $1,00O,0O0,00O. 1t is pointed
out that malaria is serious factor in
connection with efforts to put into use
100000 acres of idle lands in the
Southern States.
The mosquito has practically been
eliminated from Washington, D. c.,
and vicinity and malaria has been got
ten under control at various Southern
Industrial towns and elsewhere. Prog
rcss is also being made along other
lines in the improvement of health
and sanitation in Southern States. For
example, there was decrease in
deaths from typhoid fever in South
Carolina last year of about 81 per
cent from the deaths from that cause
in 1913, according to the University Of

Washington, Feb. S.-Complete eli
mination Of the malaria problem in
the Southern States and eradication
of the anophelcs mosquito, the pest
which causes it, are only matter of
t,nc, thanks to steps that have al
ready been taken or projected by
prominent members Of Congress, high

officers in the South and the develop

which are working along the lines of
a program that includes bettcrmcnt Of
health conditions and sanitation. And
the time required to accomplish these
results may be reduced to as little as
two years, it is predicted if the neccs-
sary funds and manpowcr are made
available.

HASH WITH ANOTHER NAME
SEEMS TO, TASTE BETTER
Every Scrap of Meat Should BE Utili-
zed-Chopping Can Be Depended
Upon to Make Tough Meat Tend
er-Recipes for Chopped Meat.

What's in name? Much, some
times. For instance, hash. Hash
has become one of the seven original
jokes. But hash, if we'll made and well
seasoned is a culinary delicacy. No
matter how good it is, however, it
grows tiresome if served too much.
So the canny meat-saving cook
serves her hash in new forms, labeled
with new names, and the finicky in her
family eat if with a relish.
Sometimes the meat has been cook
ed, but oftentimcs it is tough portions
of steak or other cuts which have been
cut off before cooking. Chopping
makes it tender and also allows it to
be cooked quickly and economically.
The following recipes are recon-
mended by the home sconomic kitchen
of the United States Department of
Agriculture:

Charleston Man Honored.

George r. Wheeler, of Charleston
manager of the South Carolina Land
owners Association has been elected
for membership on this subcommittee
in recognition of the good work done
! by him and his organization in fight
! ing malaria last year. Other members
of the subcommittee are as follows
DR.. Oscar Bowling, State health Off
{ .. New Orleans, La; Dr.. II. f. Abcr-
cIombie, State health officer, Atlanta
Ga; DR.. Frederick r. Green, secretary
council on health and public imstruc-
| ton, American Medical Association
Chicago, Ill.,, and DR.. w. S. Rankin,
State health o,nccr, Halcigh, N. C.
Mr. Wheeler has accepted the APP
pointment in a letter to Surgeon Gen
cral Blue in which he suggests that
the subcommittee hold its first meet
ing at Montgomery, Ala, March 11-13
coincident with the quarterly meeting
of officers Of the Southern Alabama
Settlement and Development Organi-
zation ond State managers of its af-
liliatcd associations.
The anti-malaria campaign in the
South has attracted the attention of
prominent members of Congress and
legislation has been proposed in the
national legislature to assist in the
work. Senator Harris of Georgia has
recently introduced joint resolution
authorizing an appropriation Of half a
million dollars to enable the public
health service to cooperate with the
States in the investigation and control
| of malaria in the United States. A
similar measure has been introduced
by Representative Overstrect of Geor-
gia.
Besides the federal government and
the States and local health authorities
and development organizations of the
South being lined up in this work, it
has been suggested that the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation, which has been work
ing on the hookworm and other prob
lens, might be interested in tackline
the anpheles mosquito.
Already the federal government has
done much in seeking to dispose of
the malaria problem and it's efforts
! and those Of official and unofficial
cooperators in the South have yielded
important results. During the war
maalria was very largely checked at
and around Southern army camps and
other branches Of the military and

Relief Committee Con-
tinues Good Work

The work of the Relief Com
mlttee is going forward with
satisfactory results which will
however be more apparent after
a few months. The serving of
milk to the children of the prim-
airy school, the big achievement of
this committee, is becoming an in
teresting event in the school life
of the children, who make quite
little ceremony of it. Paper nap
kins are used, grace is said and
all the amenities of a real lun-
cheon are observed.
At present the milk is served in
paper cups, but beginning with
the latter part of the week, it will
be delivered in half-pint bottles
by Chester Ewing who now serves
% quart daily to the children.
Straws will be used and the time
and trouble of pouring into the
cups will be eliminated.
A startling fact revealed as a
result of the physical examina-
tions conducted by Miss Grace E.
Stephens, county nurse, shows the
necessity for just such service as
the Relief Committee has brought
to pass in the primary school.
Tabulated results show that in the
First Grade 61% of the children
are under weight; in the Second,
42R and in the Third, 41%6. A
very gratifying fact in connection
with the work is the hearty coop
Grafton of the parents who await
with eager interest the expected
gains in weight as a result of the
regular milk diet.
Miss Stephens during the past
week took to a Wilmington ocu-
list, three children whose parents
desired to have treatment for
them.
A number of townspeople are
interested in the work of the COM
mittee and number of donations
of clothing and money have been
received.
