NOTHING GAINED

With the great coal strike approaching its end, the pub
lie is naturally disposed to take an inventory OF that pro-
longed enterprise. What has it accomplished?
If it has won anything at all for either the miners
or the operators, it is something beyond the range OF vision
of the ordinary citizen. As far as a disinterested spectator
can see, both have lost.
True, neither ayhavel lost a %greatdeal provided the mines
start to work Immediately and speed up to compensate for
lost time. 1t has been pointed out over and over again that
the industry is over manned and overturned, so that 1T is
possible, with all the mines and miners working, to produce
all the coal the country needs in about eight months of the
year. The miners can plead, with some reason, that mas
much as they were bound to be idle three or four months
ANYHOW, they might as we'll put in the time striking as in
being laid off. The operators may argue likewise about their
plants.
Still It is certain that, unless there are to be abnormally
high prices and wages during the fall and winter, represent
ine indefensible proft-taking by the entire coal industry,
both sides have lost by the protracted deadlock. And what
there can be no doubt about whatever is that the public as
a whole has lost, directly and indirectly, through the lack of
fuel, the decrease in consuming power of that part of the
population involved in the coal industry and the retardation
of industry and business in general.
Everybody loses, nobody gains-just a normal piece
of industrial muddling such as it is inconceivable that any
fully developed and organized industrial society should toll
crate in the future.

Another Queer Disease

OF much more concern to the Pub
lie Health Service lately is anoLEer
disease now prevalent in the Ohited
States but little known to the pdbllc.
This ailment is known as c~lonorchla-
sis. or liver tiuke disease. Although
there are hundreds and even thou
sands OF cases of it o existing IN
this. country, and the stage is ap-
~parently all set for it, not a single
case of clonorchiasis has ever been
known to develop in the United
States. 1t is entirely imported by Its
victims, most, if not all, OF whom
ara Chinese and Japanese. The
Public Health surgeons estimate OFF,
hand that n of every 100 Chinese
in the United States is suffeilng
from it. Any alien suffering with
clo~norchiasis is barred by the quar-
antine regulations from entering the
United States, but the disease is
often hard to detect, and undoubt-
eddy numerous sufferers get in.
The scientists studying clonor-
chjasis have revealed the fact n a
nature can Guido the most imagin-
alive novelist when it somes to
stretching the long arm of coii.cl-
dence. Most informed persons are
aware of the curious life cycle of
the malaria germ, which, after leav-
ing the body of a carrier, must I'M
dergo a stage of existence in the
body of a mosquito. The life cycle
of the liver fluke, as the worm is
called which causes this disease,
goes far beyond hat of the malaria
germ in completely.
Suppose a fiction writer were to
dey a detective story in which
| he would have the villain comm a
murder in this way: The villain
| would implant a certain infection in
a dog. Then he would arrange it
that the eggs of the murderous or
ganism should leave the dog and
take UP residence in a snail. The
snail would then be eaten by a fish;
and not by any fish but a certain
kiEd of trout. The trout then must
be caught and eaten by the victim
of the plot; but the victim must
not cook the fish-he must eat ii
raw. At this point the editor to
it back to it's author as prepcs-
whom such a story was submitted
would cease to read and would send
ferrous.
Yet that is precisely what hap
pens when a Chinese contracts clio
n~orchiasis. The liver parasite frs
in the form of its eggs. passes fl on,
dogs or men to other men, through
the medium of two hosts, a certain
aquatic snail and a trout of a GER
tain species, in both of which inter-
mediate stations it completes stages
of it's existence. If the fish were
cooked. the worm would be de-
stroyed.
The Public Health scientists lave
discovered that both the snails dnc
thu fish of the requisite varieties
exist together in this country. What
saves the American people from ar
epidemic of clonorchiasis Is the fact
that they do not eat their trout
raw.
Liver fluke disease is seldom fatal
but it is nevertheless i%ncurab'e
Science has not yet discovered a
poison that will kill the parasite
without first killing the host.
