Questionnaire. cmbodying seven prop
ositions, has been submitted to the

adjustment OF tariff rates by admin
istrative authorities within limits
prescribed by Congress for the pur-
pose of maintaining II consistent tara
in policy.
Creation of tariff adjustment
board to administer adjustable rates.
Reasonable protection for Ameri-.
can industries subject TO destructive.
competition from abroad and OF ben
eft to any considerable section of tho
country.
The antidumplng legislation OF

principle.
The principle Of maintenance and
encouragement OF our export trade
should be observed in tariff legisla-
ton so far as consistent with pro-
lection OF American industries OF

SCARLET FEVER PROBE
Started IN 5TAUNTON
U. S. Health Official Recon-.
mcnds Pastcurization of
All City's Milk.
lspcclal TO The Times Dispatch. ]


STAuNToN. VA. Dec. because
OF the prevalence of scarlet fever
in stanton, local health officials,
after being unable to locate the
cause. called for assistance from the
United States Public Health Service,
which sent DIR. W. +. Draper. surgeon,
here to make an inspection. Dr.
Diapers inspection has Just been
completed as his report contains the
following salient points and recon-
mcndations:
Forty-I:iEht Cases Reported.
The present series of scarlet fever
cases began about August 10. and
from that date to November %. for
ty-eight cases had been reported.
The disease exists here in mild form.
They are generally distributed and
not limited to certain schools or
rciVhhorhoods. many cases being
among children of prc-school age
stanton consumes about 600 gal
Ions of milk daily. retaiicd through
about forty sources. The milk is
not pasteuri2cd: dairies not closely
Inspected, and no provision made for
enforcing uniform standards for
diaries supplying milk. Some milk
Is high grade. but other dairies fur
spection, however, failed TO link any
dairy with being responsible for the
present scarlet fever h0re.
Wants Children Examined.
Dr. Draper recommended that the
school nurse examine every chnd's
throat every morning and to exclude
any child with n sore or Redeemed
throat: that teachers instruct pupils
in health rules: that dairies be re-
ruircd to stcrilize bottles by boiling
or In 4 live sterilizcr. and that city
pass an ordinance requiring the pas
teuriZation OF all milk sold here.
while the milk supply is not re-
sponsiblc for the present incidence
Of scarlet fever, it IS a certainty
that proper pastcuriZation Of the milk
supply would lower the yearly Incl
dcncc of communicable diseases and
safeguard the health OF the citizens"
Or. Draper concluded.
