REPORT OF THE PUBLIC
HEALTH WORK, BUREAU
OF TUBERCULOSIS
(By DR.. May F. Jones'

have the honor to- submit re-
port of work in Rankin County,
Bureaus of tuberculosis and
Child Welfase cooperating,
through the period November /,
1921, to June IL, 1922.
The activities consisted of the
examination of all school children
ia The county, conducting tubercu
losie and baby clinics; consulta-
tion at the Office, home visits to
tuberculosis patients, securing IN
terest in infant welfare; lectures
and picture shows. Every effort
was made to secure the correct
ions of defect exhibited at the
examinations. We are pleased to
report many defects have been
corrected.
At the County Agricultural
High School two surgical clinics
were held for correction of throat
and nose defects, ais much to
demonstrate the possibility of such
great work in remote rural dis
tricts as for the immediate relief
of the condition Of the child. DR..
E. l.. Posey operated for us at
these clinics, doing most excellent
work. | am sure that much cor
receive work will be done during
the summer months of which we
will have mo record. A follow up
nurse. will be of great advantage
making cur data more complete.
All white. schools in the county
and a large per cent of the colored
schools have been visited. With a
few exceptions the white schools
are poorly lighted and heated with
inadequate equipment. UusaIly
they are located close by ceme--
terry. Many of the buildings need
pair. Some of the negro school
buildings are badly crowded and
are really not fit for habitation.
Many of the white schools have
40 toilets at all. A large per cent
have toilets only for girls, no
provision being made for the boys
whatever. The survey of the
school buildings show that not a
school in the county has a SAM
tary toilet. The Brandon School
has q water-closet, but the com
dition is not good.
Drinking water must often be
brought some distance, or from a
spring in which the drainage is
from undesirable areas. There is
little attempt made to teach
practical sanitation, the use of the
common drinking cup was fire.

TIE school which closed in
February and early in March, and
this included all rural schools,

less success in the later months.
Every child in the county had an
opportunity for examination.

sponge full of vinegar, and put
it on a reed, and gave him to

Soothed By Static HAIR Raising "Breese'

EMBARRASSING experiences
II of this type are pleasant, but
woe to any other person try
ing to pat down this young mans
couture while it is in this condi-
ton! Each hair indicates flow OF
static electricity which, while CIV
inp the man in the chair deep
seated, pleasant muscle massage,
would shock anyone trying to touch
him. The fact that electricity can
be applied effectively and at the
same time pleasantly never tails to
surprise new patients in the electro
therapy department of The Recon
struction Hospital of New York

Static electricity, produced by
several revolving parallel glass
plates in a glass case, is collected
by metallic brushes and is dis
charged through two poles. MS
form of current gives prompt re-
suits in the treatment OF sprains,
strains and Inflammation of joints,
relieves muscular spasm and deep
seated pain by breaking up minute

soothing action. 1t is no uncommon
sight at The Reconstruction Hos
pital to see a patient peacefully
sleeping in chair while being
treated with electric current.

one form of static current the

tended that the federal laws were In
volved x q. league were formed Of
teams representing the cities Of a
single state. The court holds now
that merely because the teams repre-
sent cities in different states does not
make the game itself an interstate
enterprise. The travel is simply in
cidental, as the games themselves are
played within state boundaries.
Any different Interpretation would
have been not only disastrous to or
ganized base ball, compelling a COM
plete reorganization and possibly a
disruption Of the sport, but 1t would
have opened the way to successive in
terpretations Of the interstate regula-
ton power Of the federal government
that might have had unfortunate ef-
fects in the encouragement Of enter
prise. Base ball has become an i'm
mense business, involving vast sums
in plants and equipment and fran
chises and contracts, and furnishing
wholesome entertainment to multi
tudes Of people. Had the decision
been adverse to the national agree
meent, which alone prevents confu-
sion and ruinous extension and con-
fiict, much Of this investment would
have been lost to stockholders, and
much Of the zest Of the sport would
have been lost to the people.

Strike Ballots.

Submission OF strike ballots TO mem
bers Of the brotherhood OF Malnte-
nance of Way Employees and Railway
Shop Laborers for vote on accept
ance or rejection Of the recent award
Of the Wage Board puts up to the
members of that organization a ques-
ton that should not be submitted to
them or to any other membership of
labor organization. The Railway wage
Board is a body constituted by law to
detuyn.&a questions Of working condi-
tions and pay. Its findings are, OF
course. not final and binding. for no
way has been yet found in this coun-
try to effect compulsory arbitration
in capital-labor disputes. But the fact
stands that whenever the Wage Boards
findings are favorable to the opera
tives they are accepted. They should
be accepted when they are not IA
vorable.
When some time ago certain OF the
railroads refused to accept particular
provisions Of Wage Board findings they
were cited to appear before that body.
They quickly modified their positions
and squared themselves with the
court. 1t would seem that railroad
brotherhood which refuses to accept
a decision would put itself out OF the
Jurisdiction, so to speak, rendering it
incapable in future Of receiving any
benefits whatever from an arbitration
by the same body.
In this particular award. which
made a cut in wages effective July 1,
the labor group of the board stood
alone in a six-to-three vote. There is
no justification for strike in the fact
that the representatives of labor on
the board thus dlssented. Nor . there
the slightest justification for an ap-
peal to the other railroad brother
hoods to Join in the movement for a
strike. II the maintenance OF way
and shop laborers walk out, and are
followed by the members OF other
brotherhoods in tie-up OF the rail-
road system Of this country, the whole
procedure Of wage adjustment by
peaceful means Will be wrecked. La
Dor will lose heavily by such move,
in wages and in public sympathy.
Responsibility for a strike. if one
should be ordered on the basis Of a
vote, must rest upon the officials OF
the brotherhood. who are now submit
ting the ballots. It Is well understood
that practically all strike votes are in
the affirmative by large majortties.
These votes authorize" the calling Of
strikes when in the judgment OF
brotherhood officers they are war
ranted and necessary. In other words.
the leaders now ask for a weapon with
which to coerce the railroads them
selves to reject the award of the Wage
Board, which happens in this case to
be in their favor.

Safe at the Plate!

+. Refusing to regard organized base
ball, as conducted by the leagues as
sociated in what Is known as the ma.
tional agreement, as interstate com.
merce, the Supreme Court has ruled
that the sport does not fall within the
scope Of the antitrust statutes. Con-
sequently there Is no ground for &C.
ton by a disappointed contender for
base ball status for damages suffered
In the dissolution Of a competitive
league. This decision is Of Importance
to the game as q public entertain
ment. but Of greater Importance in
that 1t draws q limitation upon the
definition Of interstate commerce. It
shows that the court is reluctant to
regard as subject to federal restric-
tions enterprises that do not conflict
with the normal rights Of men.
Base ball. says the court, Is not In
terstate commerce merely because Of

init the playing Of sanss Aetween

France and the United States.

A ceremony took place yesterday at
the White House which. though some
what obscured by the greater program
Of the day, calls for particular note and
memory. Ambassador Jusserand pre-
sented to President Harding the
American flag that was displayed be-
side the French tricolor on the Eiffel
Tower when the news came that the
United States had entered the great
war. In the course Of his graceful,
eloquent speech Of presentation the am
bassador said:
All things, we know. come to an
end; such will be the fate of the
friendship between France and Amer
ica-the day when the stars shall fall
from the sky or from the flag OF the
United States.
No higher compliment could be paid
to the stability Of a government. and
no more ardent confidence could have
been expressed in the maintenance of
International friendship. The ambas-
sador, likening the stars in the Amer
lean flag to those in the skies. gave
expression to a belief that is at the
basis Of American national character.
President Harding. on. his side, as
felicitously expressed the feeling of
this country for France when he said:
Probably 1t adds little to the beauty
Of the Stars and Stripes and their
wonderful coloring to have been sa-
luted with the love and affection and
reverence of your republic, but 1t
does add much to that for which the
nag stands. 1t means q new tie, q
new bond Of affection between your
republic and ours. 1t means a new
assurance that the cordial affection
and respect OF the one republic for
the other will endure. as you have
suggested, for all time to come.

A Speeding Motor Cyclist.

A motor cyclist was observed by a
cycle policeman the other day run
ming his machine at high pace. The
policeman gave pursuit, whereupon
the cyclist speeded up to fifty miles an
hour and chase ensued for more
than three miles through crowded
streets. Finally, with the fugitive
running at an estimated pace of
seventy miles an hour, his machine
collided with curb and he was
spilled, but by extraordinary chance
was not hurt. Later. in the Police
Court, he was fined $40 on a COM
bination Of charges.
Would 1t not have been possible to
effect the arrest Of this man and his
punishment for speeding without
starting pursuit that put two motor
cycles in wild flight through the
streets instead Of one? It was, Of
course. the impulse Of the mounted
policeman to get his man, and he Is
to be commended for his pluck and
perseverance. But surely at some
stage OF the flight, perhaps at the be-
ginning. the cyclists number might
have been taken and he hailed to court
later upon identincatto

Mays Lynching Record.

Texas has led in the May lynchings,
in the number of victims and the
ferocity with which they were dis
patched. Several were roasted alive,
and the bodies of others burned after
death had brought release by other
means.
No masks We're worn. The per-
formances seemed entirely safe so far
as all observers were concerned. The
lynchers acted as if entirely certain
Of the approval Of their neighbors and
the local guardians Of the law.
No arrests have been made. The
governor Of the state. importuned to
do something, has responded with an
expression of regret at the outbreaks.
The manifestations Of the lynching
spirit have not been confined to Texas.
In several other states human beings
have been done to death by mobs act
ing with the savagery Of wild Indians
in the days when Indians were truly
wild. But the Indians have discarded
the torch and the stake, the toma-
hawk and the scalping knife-passed
them over to their conquerors and
civiliZers.
Burnings are quite in the fashion
now. The rope and the pistol have be-
come tame and unpicturesque. They
no longer afford thrill; and the gal
lery demands a thrill-something hot
and stirring.
The galleries are growing in size.
Everybody turns out to See the show,
and good time seems to be had by
all.
In this way, by these means, Amer
lea is held up to the scorn and wonder
of the world. Nothing like it is found
elsewhere. Has the law-abiding ele-
ment in America become powerless?
If not, how soon may it be expected to
assert itself?
