Mild Cases a Menace

Five counties of the state have re- ported cases of scarlet fever to the State board of health during the first half of February. It is character istic of scarlet fever that it varies more in intensity than almost any other eruptive fever. And it is the exceedingly mild cases, so often un- recognized and, therefore, not report ed that are so dangerous to commun- ity health and safety.
 The child mot sick enough to go to bed" is permitted to mingle with we'll children with the result that from one such mild case a dozen or more children may be infected with the disease in very malignant form. Both physicians and parents are urg- ed by the State board of health, to report promptly all cases of sus- picious nature and to have them iso- lated until a definite diagnosis can be made.

STATISTICS OF STATE
 BOARD OF HEALTH

Statistics of the State board ci health show that during the first six months of 1919, there were IS death of mothers from blood poisoning fol lowing child birth. In addition to this, there were 23 babies that died as a result of wrong conditions. Many of these mothers were sacrificed to ig- norance. Many of the children died because of lack of proper attention to the mother, and others to impro- per care of the child. A 40 page book entitled Prenatal Care" can be secured from the state board Of health, Phoenix, Arizona, free. It is issued by the government as a guid- ance to mothers and will help them to understand the necessity for the various things the careful doctor in- SiStS upon.

LEAGUE TO FOSTER . HARVESTING OF POWER

That discussion of plans of great magnitude for comprehensive inn provements of all waterways in the empire of the southwest, which will result in reclamation of lands, the con- struction of irrigation systems and hydroelectric power plants, and avoid forever all possibility of such floods as now threaten the Salt River Valley, Arizona, will be feature of the lea que of the Southwest convention in Los Angeles, April 1, 2 and 3, was the statement of the leagues secretary. Arnold Kruckman.
 "Not only do these floods in the Salt River Valley menace Salt River Valley, with it's hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cotton and other crops" said Secretary Kruckman, "but there is room for fear that the loosening of these flood waters into the Gila River and thence into the Colorado might imperil the latter's levees.
 "The leagues convention will be for the complete discussion of this very topic-the conservation and control of all streams in the Southwest, and the development of water by storage and regulation reservoirs, for recla- nation works and hydroelectric power development. On the one hand the comprehensive projects planned would upbuild commercial, agricultural and industrial enterprises where arid lands now lie idle, and on the other the harnessing of the great and small rivers of the Southwest to do the will of man would also result in eliminat- ing for all time perils from foods."

Influenza Continues

Reports of new cases of influenza are being received by the State board of health from practically every part of the state. There is no alarming increase, as yet, however, and the number of deaths is far less propor tionately than last year. Only a few communities have found it necessary to close the schools, churches, etc. The State board of health urges that every precaution be taken to prevent the possible spread of the disease, particularly in the way of prompt reporting and quarantining of known cases and care by the individuals with suspicious "colds" of how they cough, sneeze and spit.

MARTENS
TO0PEN AGAIN
New Angles Found to Press
Deportation Proceedings
Against Russian.
Dy Universal Ser,iceo


The deportation case brought by
the Department OF Justice against
Ludwig c. A. X Martens self
styled ambassador of the Russian
Soviet government, is to be re-
opened, with several new angles.
1t was learned from authoritative
sources that the Department Of
Justice, unable to secure conclusive
evidence to back up its charges
that Martens was a representative
of a political organization seeking
to overthrow the United States gov
ernment had decided to reopen the
case on a new Issue.
Representations will be made that
Martens was associated indirectly
with coterie Of agents who
smuggled diamonds into this coun-
try from Sweden. Counsel for Mar
tens referred to this charge as
perfectly ridiculous" but it is un-
derstood that the Department OF
Justice may attempt to press the
charge home. as the only way out
of the situation.
Shortly after Martens had con-
cluded a series OF hearings before
Senate committees last spring the
Department of Justice swore out a
warrant of deportation for him
charging that he was an enemy
alien, but the evidence was incon-
elusive.
