Is this middle western landlubber
going to succeed? Washington to-
day thinks he will, provided the poll
ticians Net him alone. and President
Harding seems determined they shall.
The President has given him a free
hand. He wants something put up on
the right side Of the ledger to the
credit of the American income tax
payers other than results of con-
gressional Investigations. Although
Mr.. Lasker's job will be particularly
to dispose Of the government-owned
vessels to the best advantage Of the
merchant marine, his executive duties
are too numerous to mention. Judg-
ing from the zest with which he has
tackled his job. the energy. his deep,
clear thinking intellect to direct 1t
all. Mr.. Lasker will be successful.
The chairman is a Jew, and proud
OF Judaism. He is a member of the
American Jewish commission, an hon.
ored memebr Of his race. But Presi-
dent Harding appointed him to his
position not because he is a Jew, but
because he is an exemplar of the
best type Of American Tive wire" He
does not look upon hi mas the Jew
best fitted for the job. but as the one
in more than 100. 100000 Of
his fellow-citizens best qualified for

old commercial wreck, the United
States Shipping Board. and steer her
through the rocks and reefs Of preju-
dice and distrust into a haven Of re-
spect and confidence in the hearts of
the American people?
Those who knew "Ar" Lasker when
he was dividing his time in Chicago
between his advertising firm and the
Chicago Cubs thought he could. Those
who have worked with Albert D. Las
ker, chairman of the Shipping Board,
during the few weeks since he took
the oath Of office. know he can. And
as for Mr.. Lasker, himself. it's safe to
with his friends. He believes he can.
and will. For there g nothing AL
Lasker would rather tackle than a
job people call hopeless. He's been
looking for work since he was kid

yer Twist, he begs for more.
A strange change has come over the
Shipping Board in the last month.
Everybody's felt 1t. from the boy
who sweeps the floor and the girl
who informs at the Information desk
wrinkles in their foreheads. There's
a hum about the office of the staid
old Shipping Board like the atmos-
phere above a beehive after some-
body's punched it with a stick. And
like the bees which settle down after
awhile, the Shipping Board is begin
ming to settle. It is just beginning to
be noticeable, this settling down; not
a calm, unruff1ed settling, rather a
buckling, muckling down to hard,
steady job that will have no let-up
while Lasker's on the job.
Waiting to See the Chairman.
Mr.. Lasker's Office is down the hall
b little way, just to the left. A caller
finds, perhaps. if he has a good i'm
lie at rest outside that door. which
bears in gilt letters the word Chair
man." He enters a waiting room where
there's a nondescript crowd Of dozen
or so cooling its heels and its members
awaiting their summons. Some of them
Others look like congressman from over
on the hill. Maybe there are some cap
tains of industry there, but they wait
their turn in patience, for Mr.. Lasker
can't see more than three or four at q
time. p: -,.-
The chairman began his career as a
newspaper man, and his secretary-a
sparkling eyed Irishman-was news
paper man not long ago, SO the inter-
viewer finds himself showed ahead Of the
crowd and into Mr.. Lasker's office.
Al Lasker smiles when he meets you.
He has q smile and manner of shaking
your hand that Is a trait, not pose.
Perhaps that's why SO many men call
him tAl." That's why the writer be-
comes familiar, because 'Mr. Lasker''
somehow doesn't carry the meaning.
He's the nickname sort, and men who
have never seen him before go away

Realises Size Of His job.
Mr. Lasker, to this interviewer. any,
how, was willing to talk. but not par
ticularly about the Shipping Board. He
has characterized that organization -as

and perhaps the only thing that made
him take 1t. was warm personal

dom by suicidal mania. With it's
progress and duration the malady be-
comes more aggravated, with shorter
and shorter intervals in the winter.
Hallucinations Add to Horror.
At length the surface seems to clear
itself, and becomes permanently enveli
oped in a thick, livid crust somewhat
resembling the dried and black skin OF
a fish. By this time the vital powers
are reduced TO a low ebb and the intel
lectual functions have begun to suffer.
The victim lcseS the use of his legs and
suffers with collie. nausea and heart
burn. Strange hallucinations develop TO
add to his misfortune. When advanced
the malady takes such forms as te-
tanus, commissions and mania. and the
patient is at last reduced to the appear
ance of a mummy.
Unlike the common belief, pellagra
is not the "hook-worm" disease of the :
to a parasite.
In its investigation in seven cotton
mill towns of South Carolina in 1915
the public health service discovered
that 26.1 persons in each 1000 had
definitely defined cases of pellagra
and that inclusion of i'll defined cases
brought this figure up to 427. Only
the white Inhabitants of these towns
were considered in the tests.
After the investigation at that time
one of the surgeons who aided in the
inquiry made the following report:
an nearly all southern states pei
lagra is frequent cause OF death. In
1916 1t ranked fourth in Mississippi,
third in Alabama. second in South

467 in North Carolina, 627 in South
Carolina, 607 in Tennessee and 452 ino
Texas, a total of 3.700."
This led the surgeon to make the
observation that there were proba-
bly, 10000 cases in the six states dur
ing that year and that the remaining
seven states south of the Potomac
and Ohio rivers would undoubtedly
bring the total number of cases up to
100000" For 1917. he predicted
125.o0o cases unless the malady was
Figures announced thus far for
1921 place the estimated number of
cases at 100000. but a warning has
been sounded that unless effective
measures are taken to cope with the
situation. this number may be greatly
increased.
Investigation has shown that in
many cases physicians advice was
never sought until the disease had
reached advanced stages. Another ele-,
ment in the situation is the apparent
unwillingness of the state authorities
to admit prevalence of the disease
because of local pride. Physicians
point out that failure of many vic
Tins to seek medical aid would make

cases comparatively small, while many

RECORD TIMBER SALE MADE
BY FOREST SERVICE

The largest timber sale negotiated
in a number of years by the Forest
Service was made on June 2, when
697 million feet of timber in the
Sierra National Forest, California,
were awarded to a San Francisco
1umberman, with the approval of the
Forester. The bid prices per 1000 feet
are: Western yellow pine, SO; sugar
pine, $4.25; white and red fir, $1.5O;
incense cedar, $1.50. A price of
so cents per 1000 feet is also fixed
for understandable timber removed
at the option of the purchaser. The
purchaser has two-year construc-
tion period, and a 23-year operat-
ing period fixed in the agreement.
removal of about 700 million feet of
privately owned timber.
An initial investment of approx
mately $3,500,0O0 is required for de-
velopment, especially for the con-
struction of standard gauge rail-
road, to open up the area, which
has hitherto been inaccessible for
logging operations. A provision in
the contract will secure the use of a
portion of this road in an equitable
manner as a common carrier, and it
will later be utilized to remove ad-
ditional National Forest timber.
Since the timber involved in the sale
is mature and has been subject to
recurring insect infestation, it's sale
at this time, together with the gen.
eral opening of the area, is consider
ed very desirable.
