STARVING SELF
TO DEATH
Lord Mayor Of Cork Refuses to Eat
and His Wife Agrees Not
to Oppose His
Resolve.

Hunted Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, Aug. 21.-Placing love Of
country above love of her husband
the young wife of Terrence Mac
Sweeney, lord mayor of Cork, today
concurred in his self-imposed sentence
4 of death.
! The meeting of husband and wife
| in Brixton prison, where MacSweeney
lis fast weakening from the effects Of
hunger strike. was intensely dra.
matte.
| Mrs. MacSweeney, after fruitless
attempt yesterday to induce officials
tof the Irish department to release
the lord mayor under two years sen.
fence for sedition, today sought his
liberty direct from Edward Short,
secretary Of state for home affairs.
Short refused to intervene.
The distraught young women then
went to the prison to beseech her
husband to give up his hunger strike
The lord mayor, pale and emaciated,
remained firm in his determination
not to yield. In a tense scene. during
which Mrs. MacSweeney wept brok-
emily, her husband finally won her con-
sent not to oppose his resolve to go
without food until released by
death"
MacSweeney, in company with sew
eral other Irish prisoners, was
brought to Brixton from Ireland this
week. He was so weak from hunger
as the result of going without food
during his Imprisonment previous to
his trial and sentence that he was
carried aboard the steamer on a
stretcher.

forts at control In different parts of
the globe extending Owe a period OF
more than 10 years it Is still impos-
sible TO point to any single area from
which the disease has been complete
ly eradicated suggests that perhaps
the work is being carried out with a
lack of scientific information on GER
tain points concerning which definite
knowledge is indispensable If complete
control is to be achieved. 1t is hoped
that a series of studies may loon be
made which will supply definite ex-
detrimental proof on the phases of
hookworm control which still require
further Investigation.
Zone of the most important factors
In need of further study is that relat-
ing to the viability of hookworm larvae
in soil and other media. In the past 1t
has been commonly supposed that aft
err a period of from six to ten months
the soil would become sterile and the
disease would gradually die out, but
the evidence now at hand seems to in
dictate that soil once heavily infected
particularly in tropical countries
where the temperature seldom or never
drops to the freezing point-must re-
main infected for a considerable time
even after sanitary conditions have
been improved. Thus, Kofoid has re-
Gently reported that in the soil of Cali
fornia the larvae remained alive for II
months, and it is probable that In
more tropical climates they persist for
even longer periods"
Part of the report is devoted to de-
scribing infection and sanitary sur
veys undertaken in various countries
and recounting the difficulties of pre-
venting the most serious source of in
fection-soil pollution. The providing
of adequate latrines is set forth as the
best method of bringing about this re-
suit.
Some data from Arkansas and
Texas brought together by means of
the laboratory car Metchnikoff, during
the treatment of infected soldiers in
the southern states, suggests that there
is a possibility of the infection being
transmitted by dust. This subject is
worthy of further study. The role
played by insects, particularly flies, in
transmitting the infection also re-
mains to be thoroughly investigated"
the chapter concludes.

at least once during their working
hours?" the head of the welfare de-
partment of a large mining company,
located in Cochise county, Arizona,
asked the home demonstration agent
of that county.
He desired an arrangement where
by the men could be supplied at the
shafts Of the mines with a hot drink to
supplement their cold lunches. The
home demonstration agent visited
eight shafts with the foreman 0f the
mines to observe conditions. Before
making suggestions she also made IN
investigation of the character of
lunch which was carried by the min
ers. She found that many take none
at all. OF the 1920 men who carried
their lunches, only 81 had bottles
which keep liquids hot. The rest ate
an entirely cold meal at noon. This
seemed to be one of the reasons for
the lessened efficiency of the men in
the afternoons. As a result of the in
~vestigation huge containers of coffee
have beer placed recently in strategic
points at the shaft mouths so that the
men have a hot drink with their noon
day meal.
