Public Health Service Criticised
For Spreading False and
Misleading Reports"

PREVALENT THAN In PAST.
All Commissioners in Atten-
dance at the Conference
Agree, However, That There
Are No Conditions Approach-

Southern States.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, August 5.--RadicaI
differences of opinion as to the scveri-
ty of the prevalence of pellagra in the
South cropped out among lie health
officials of the twelve Southern states
at the closing session of their two
days conference here with Surgeon
General Cumming, of the United
States public health service, during
which time the situation has been
thoroughly discussed, and tentative
methods OF combating the further
spread Of the disease outlined.
Split in the Ranks.
Practically one half of the state
officials, in adopting a report on the
actual conditions in the South, con.
tended for a clause saying that the
situation is no more serious than has
been the case durin gthe past several
years. Among them, comprising
majority, held however that while
there is no. immediate cause for alarm.
that pellagra is undeniably more prev
alent than In the past, and succeeded
in having the caluse eliminated from
the official report.
crltlcise Public Health Service.
All of the state commissioners, how
ever, were unanimous in agreeing
that there are no conditions in the
esittsi anpflarh1hg NOR riaFus Z or
famine, as hos been reported, and the
Federal public health service was crit
icised for spreading false and mis-
leading reports" as to the situation.

Institution is Rapidly Being
Equipped With LOng=Need=
ed Modern Appliances.
CITY AND COUNTY HAVE
INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS
Great Improvements Have Been
Made in the City's Hospital
Facilities, and Plans For Fur
ther Improvements Will be
Carried Out Soon.

Extensive improvements have re-
Gently been made in the facilities and
equipment of the Brunswick City Hos
pital with the result that this insti-
tuition is now on a thoroughly modern
basis, with ample provisions for
Rrunswicks hospital requirements.
These improvements have been
made possible by considerably in
creased appropriations from both the
city and the county, and DR.. R. IL. L.
Burford, who is now the medical sup
erintendent of the institution, is plan
rang still further additions to the
equipment. which, when Installed,
will make the local hospital second to
none In this section of the state.
To Install x-Ray.
Arrangements have been completed,
said DR.. Burford yesterday, for the
installation in the near future of a
modern X-Ray machine, an instru-
ment the need of which has long been
felt. The hospital has been handi-
capped in the past in the treatment of
many cases because of the lack of an
X-Ray machine, and it has been neces-
sary for a number of patients to go to
other cities on that account.
However, through the generosity
and public service of the local Wo-
mans Club. in donating the sum of
one thousands dollars for initial pay
sDent 90 an xsRsy machine, this great
|need Is soon To be supplied and pr.
Burford stated that the order for the
machine would be placed Just as soon
as the special room required for in
stallation has been fitted up.
The machine will cost about $4,000,
and the work Of fitting up quarters for
its installation will make the total
cost amount to approximately $4,000
It is believed that the X-Ray instru'
ment will he ready for service within
the next month or so. DIR. Burford
will 20 before the city and county
commissioners soon to ask for the
funds needed to build the room for It's
installation, and it Is certain that the
officials will provide the money.
Hospital Reorganized.
Since DIR. Burford has assumed
charge OF the hospital there has been
a complete reorganization by which
the efficiency of the institution has
been greatly increased. Several
months ago there was an organized
movement for the building OF a new
hdsngtaL but since adequate funds
have been supplied for operation, and
for needed facilities, the old plant has
been improved to such an extent as
TO take care OF the needs of the city
In splendid shape.

Continued operation of street car

permanent settlement of the problem,
was made certain at the weekly club

This action relieves the special com

it had so cheerfuly assumed, in order
10 prevent a suspension of operation
last Sunday, as officially authorized
by Federal Judge Evans. The entire
club membership is now jointly re-
sDonsible for any losses that may oc
cur in operation of the cars while
The negotiations are under way.
This is typical of the splendid SER

ion against child labor, and it is known

"The vocational schools of Wiscon-
sin reached $4,000 pupils last year,
preparing them for meeting the CON

would otherwise have been possible.
The new law will extend these oppor-

FIND BODY OF
DROWNED MAN
Max Shoor, Diver, DiscOv-
ers Body of Valentine
Seng at Twin Lakes.
POST MORTEM TODAY

The long search for the body Of Val
entine Seng, the Chicago grain broker,
who was drowned Friday afternoon at
Twin Lakes, was rewarded just after
four o'clock Friday afternoon when
Max Shoor, one of four divers who had
been seeking to recover the body, found
it at the bottom of the lake not far
from the spot where it had gone down.
The body was in a cramped position
and with difficulty was brought to the
top by the diver. There, with aid of
his companions, it was brought to the
shore and held for disposition at the
orders of Coroner T. T. Parker.
Seng fell into the lake from a fishing
boat just after noon on Friday. Divers
and rescuing parties had dragged the
lake for four hours in vain and had
almost given up hope of recovering the
body when 1t was located by Schoor.
Had Painting Spells.
Investigation by Coroner Truman T.
Parker revealed that Seng had been
afflicted with "fainting spells" and it
is eblieved that he must have suffered
from one of these when he fell into the
water. His brother7in-law, John Muno,
who was with him in the boat, told the
coroner that theaccident happened just
after the two had lost large pickerel
which they were attempting to land
in the boat.
Never mind, thereIl be another one
in a few minutes" Seng is reported to
have said as he started to light his
pipe. Then he fell over in the water
and sank Immediately to the bottom.
The fact that the body was found IN
cramped position seems to indicate
is believed that he must have suffered
rather than from drowning.
Bring Body to Kenosha.
The mans body was brought to the
Joseph Cardinal undertaking parlors on
Grand avenue on Friday night. A post
norton examination was being held
there this morning under the direction
OF DR.. Toner to determine the exact
cause of death.
Seng had been fishing since eight o.
clock Friday morning and it is believed
that the long time on the water, in the
heat of the sun, may have caused the
fainting spell from which he died. He
is survived by wife and an 18-year-old
son of 1927 Glenlake avenue, Chicago.
The remains will be taken to the
home in Chicago this evening The
deceased had been on a vacation at
TwiN Lakes and had made many friends
there in the past few days.

NEW LAWS AIM
AT EDUCATION
Changes in Part Time Com
pulsory Education Laws
Affect Many.
MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS
fRr Associated Pressl

Madison-Ch Changes in the part time
compulsory education law which. goes
into effect this year as a result of
new legislation, should be regarded as
an extension Of educational opportun-
ity and supported, rather than OPP
posed, as in some cities, George P.
Hambrecht, director of vocational edu-
cation said today commenting on re-
ported action of Racine mothers in ex-
pressing disapproval of the statute.
The new law requires that chill
dren between the ages of IA and 16
attend school half time, and raises the
age for part time instruction from II
to IS. Mr.. Hambrecht said that the
legislature had determined that this
change should take place, and that it is
his, duty to see that it is carried out
as stipulated.
Change in high school curriculums
will be necessary to provide for half
day instruction and to meet the larger
classes that will result from applica-
tions of the law. Two years extension
of time is allowed, should the city be
but this extension is not needed in
most cities, it was said.
Opportunity Not Burden.
Education should be viewed as an
opportunity and not as burden" Mr.
Hambrecht said. "If the theory of edu-
cation is right then it is an economic
gain to the individual and the state
and if wrong it is economic loss and
should be done away with.
an that case children should be
drawn out of school when Is years OF
age and put into factories to work
rather than having them in schools
learning that which is to be detri
ment to them.
'The human animal seems to be the
only one which feels that the young
should bear the burden of support OF
the family All other animals seek to
relieve their young of responsibility
of support, and to provide for their vel
fare.
"It would seem to me that if there is
such condition in family as to de-
mand that the children should bear the
burden of its support, then the com
munity should devise some means OF
giving aid. This has been the attitude
of the legislature which determined
that children of Wisconsin should
have educational opportunities and
should not be forced to slave in sup,
port Of families.
"This nation would be pauperized il
