HEALTH BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN W, PARKER. NJ D..
Health Commissioner


The following editorial entitled
president Harding and Public
Health" is taken from the American
Journal of Public Health, and calls
attention to the great Importance
that public health is assuming in the
nation.
Like Theodore Roosevelt, President
Warren G. Harding believes tina, the
nations health is our greatest asset.
With view to coordinating the
health and welfare activities of the
government, he has asked Brigadier
General Charles E. Sawyer, his per-
sonal physician, to make study of
all such activities. In an interview
with a representative of the Journal,
General Sawyer stated that consid-
Grafton of the subject of public well
fare involves three questions which
are closely related. They are ed
ucation, public health, and social SER
vice These three matters are being
studied as the foundation upon
which to build the superstructure of
public welfare and if the survey
proves it worth while, there will be
a special government department un-
der which these affairs will be carried
on. General Sawyer made the fol-
lowing statements, which are quoted
verbatim:
''The President is whole-souled
and generous and has at heart the
desire to increase the public welfare.
1t is his ambition to make the
United States exemplify the best in

Britain Is In No
Hurry to Send Up
Troops to Silesia

Paris, Junly 20.-The British gov
ernment's note in response to a
communication from the French gov
ernment last Saturday in which it
was pointed out that allied reinforce
ments were needed Immediately in
Upper Silesia was delivered to Pre-
mier BRAND this evening.
In the note the British government
maintained its view point that the
supreme council must meet at Bou-
logne before the end of the month to
discuss the Silesian situation.
The French government appears to
be in no hurry before the question
is considered.
The French reply to the British
note probably will not go forward un-
til late Thursday. In well informed
circles it is indicated that the re-
sponse will declare that France does
not wish to retard the meeting of the
supreme council to discuss the Sile-
sian situation and is even willing
to hold the meeting on date named
by Great Britain provided the Bril-
tish agree to send reinforcements.

BRITISH CABINET SITS
IN COUNCIL OVER PLAN
TO Be OFFERED IRISH
Plans Decided on Are
Submitted to King
By the Premier

London, July 2O.-The British cabi-
net sat for two hours and half this
evening considering the Irish plans,
after which Premier Lloyd George
went to Buckingham palace and laid
before the King, whose interest in
an Irish settlement is the keeness,
the proposals for submission to Ea-
mon Deyalefa, the irish republican
leader, at tomorrow's conference.
The prime minister presided at the
cabinet counsel and outlined recent
events and the premier's new offer
to Ireland which is described as be-
ing drawn on generous lines.
1t is also understood that the gen
eral lines of the premier's offer have
the approval of Austin Chamberlain,
the government leader in the house
of commons, Sir Robert Horne, Sir
Laming Worthington Evans, secre-
tary of war, and other ministers, and
that probably with some midifica-
tions the entire cabinet will assent
to the proposal which will be reduced
to writing for presentation to Mr..
DeValera.
Whether Mr.. Lloyd George has
succeeded in overcoming the reluc-
tance of Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, to join in tri-partite con-
ference is not known, but an an
nouncement that Sir James is coming
to London again probably next week,
is considered favorable omen and
in any case no hint of break down
in the negotiations is apparent.

line yacht Curlew, of New Orleans,
believed by the authorities to have
been employed regularly to transport
liquor from the Bahams to New Or

AIRCRAFT FAILED TO
SINK BIG BATTLESH|P
WITH ALL OF BOMBS
Third Phase of Tests
Proves a Dismal
Failure

ON BOARD THE DESTROYER
LEARY, EN- ROUTE TO NORFOLK,
July 2O.-Aircraft failed today to
sink or materially damage the for
mer German battleship Ostfriesland
in the opening of the final phase of
the joint army and navy bombing
tests off the Virginia eapes to deter
mine the effect of airplane attacks on
capital and other type Of warships.
Dropping total of So bombs 33 of
230 pounds and 10 of, $40 and 600
pounds navy marine corps and army
aviators placed 13 of them on board
and practically all ow the others in
the water close by. About all the ap-
parent damage resulting, however,
was to the upper decks and super
structures Immediately around the
spot where the projectiles struck.
Only four of the bombs landed on
board exploded, two of 230 each, one
of $50 and one of 900 pounds, the
kind that sent down the light cruiser
Frankfort last Monday.
The big bombs exploding on the
decks wrought no such havoc to the
superstructure as did bombs of SINH
lar size dropped on the Frankfort.
This was accounted for, naval off
GERS said, by the heavier construction
on the Osfriesland. Presumably it
was for the same reason that the big
bombs exploding close alongside the
target failed to open her seams.
There was a notable gathering for
the bombing of the Ostfriesland
which will be continued tomorrow
weather permitting.

Feared Two Flyers
Suffered Accident

Hampton, Va, July 20.-Weather
conditions after the bombing test on
the Virginia eapes this afternoon re-
suited in several flyers from Langley
field and several from the naval air
station being forced to land. All of
the navy planes had returned early
this evening, but there was still a
plane that had not returned to Lang
ley.
Some fear was felt at the army
field for Lieutenant McDuffy and
Lieutenant Hodges, who are missing
in a sea plane. The flyers were last
seen making for an island about
thirty miles from Norfolk and it
is reported that their supply of fuel
was fast giving out.

November
ny Associated Pressl

I
Washington, July 20.-Negotia-
tions with Japan relating to the
scope of the disarmament conference
apparently are about to enter more
active phase after several days of
deliberations.
Both the state department. and tile
Japanese embassy here have about
completed their surveys of the stu
atioA preliminary to the next step
in the negotiations and another con-
ference between Secretary Hughes
and Ambassador Shidehara is CON
sidered likely to take place within a
few days, 1t is understood to be the
intention thus to keep the exchange
of opinion informal for the present
unless a more formal correspondence
lis desired by TOXIC.
In the view of American officials
the negotiations are not likely to be
of sufficient duration to interfere
with the plan for bringing the con-
ference togethere here by early No
lvember.
The Japanese ambassador here IS
understood to be fully advised of the
attitude of his government.
Continued discussion in official cir,
cles during the day regarding the
personnel of the American commits
sion to the conference revealed the
increasing expectation that Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, chairman
of the foreign relations committee,
would be one of the delegates.

HOUSE REFUSES,
TO PUT TAX ON
BOOTS OR SHOES


Washington, July 2O.-The
house refused today to put an i'm,
port tax on boots and shoes and
other leather products although
it previously had fixed a tariff on
hides. The. house voted down a
ways and means committee amend
ment proposing duty of ten per
cent on leather products which
was regarded as an indication that
the house may reverse itself on
the duty of fifteen per cent. on
hides when that question comes
up for separate vote tomorrow
Action by the house on the
leather schedule came at the
close of stormy session, the last
full day to be given over to actual
consideration of the Fordney bill.
Tomorrow at 8 o'clock voting on
amendments and on the bill itself
will start.

The father of the lads, Robert ten

December, she was quoted as say
ing, the chief of police at Columbia
came to her and told her he was go
ing to have the children turned over
to someone else to rear.
"I'll admit / wasn't living right,
but l was providing for the children
and they were too young to know"

why l left Alabama, l did not have
anything to leave but l left and came
to Georgia. Then l married Hudson
and I've lived right ever since"

KITCHEN APPEALS
TO DEMOCRATS TO
DEFEAT INTERESTS
Characterizes Fordney
Bill as Framed For
Plutocrats
EVERY PHASE UNJUST
Certain to Be Main Is
sue Between Parties
For Next Years

Scotland Neck, N. c., July 20.-
"Make the strongest appeal possible
to every democrat in the house not
to mar the excellent record made
thus far by voting against republi-
can protection on hides, oil, asphalt,
or any other product, Representa-
tive Claude Kitchen, minority leader
in the lower house of congress today
urged Representative Garrett, in
telegram sent from his home in
Scotland Neck, N. c.
"The bill from beginning to end,
and all protection amendments, are
protection and favoritism to special
interests at the expense of the peo-
ple", the North Carolina representa-
tive charged After congratulating
the democrats in the house on the
splendid fight" they are making
against the Fordney tariff bill, Mr..
Kitchen declared that the democra-
tic efforts in rrn9 house are nerving
party members everywhere for IAN
enthusiastic and united front in 1922
and 1924, giving them fresh hope
for victory"
Urges Democrats to Stand Firm
The purpose of the tariff bill, he
declared is not revenue Dut protec-
tion and favoritism to some special
interests and he urged that no demo-
crat "yield to the tempting argu-
ments."
every item in the bill is protec-
ton to some members own industry
he maintained, arguing that if pro-
lection to the home industry of re-
publican is wrong it is equally wrong
to the home industry of democrat.
"In conformity with, and in JUS
tiication of, the principles and the
policies of the democratic party,
professed and practiced for nearly
100 years, the only safe and sound
course for a democrat is to vote
against the entire bill, every item
of protection and favoritism in it, or
any amendment at every opporturi-
ty," he continued.
every intelligent man knows that
the tariff bill enacted in this con-
gress will, in succeeding campaigns
until repealed, be one of the nam
issues between the parties. No de-
mocrat in congress should be willing
to handicap by single vote his
party's and future campaigns, but
should be willing and ready to make
sacrifice and to take political risk
even in his district for the sake Of
his party. To displease special in
terests in one district and elsewhere
is one of the penalties which every
democrat who enters congress risk.
His party is one of and for the peo-
pie and not one of and for special
interest"
