HEALTH SERVICE
 ISSUES REPORT

The annual report of the Surgeon General of the Public Health Ser vice of the United States for the fis- cal year. ended June 30. 1922. has just been issued. The report covers the work of the 124th years of the ex- istence of the service.
 The Public Health Service is the Federal agency charged with the pro lection of the health of the people of the United States. It guards against the introduction of communicable diseases from foreign countries and the spread of these diseases from state and local health departments in the suppression of epidemfcs and the cor rection of conditions affecting health which might become a menace to the nation.
 The many activities of the Public Health Service during the year are described in the report, including, among others, the study of diseases of man for the purpose of finding eff fective means for the control of pre- Ventable diseases; studies in indus trial hygiene and in the pollution of streams and the disposal of human eXcreta. Rural sanitation is said to be one of the most productive and economical of the co-opera tive func- tions of the Public Health Service from the standpoint of measurable results.
 One of the scientific accomplish ments of the year is the development of a new gas for the Immigration of vessels for the destruction of disease bearing insects and vernnin without injury to vessel or cargo.
 The necessity for, and the value of, work for the control of venereal dis eases have been demonstrated and re- search work is in progress which gives promise of greatly improved methods of treatment, particularly in the case of certain late manifestations of syphilis.
 Threatened outbreaks of plague in several localities have been controlled and the importation or yellow fever from Central and South America has been prevented.
 A feature which has attracted pop ular attention is the giving of advice by wireless to ships at sea by medical officers of the Public Health Service IS to the care of seamen or passen- gers who may be injured or III. This service has been helpful to ships which do not carry physicians.
 Public health information has been sent out to the public from a num- Der of broadcasting stations. This service has been developed with very little expense to the government.

the next Republican leader of the Senate.
 What is your politics, Senator ?'' blandly inquired Couzens.
 When Watson had recovered from the shock he replied that he was a Republican.
 And what State did you say you were from?" continued Couzens.
 'Indiana!' gasped Watson.
 Why" pursued the ex-Mayor, "1 was introduced to a big fellow here a while ago who looked like Grover Cleveland. and was told he was the Senator from Indiana"
 Watson replied that that must have been Senator-elect Samuel M. Ralston, a Democrat who defeated Albert J. Beyeridge.
 Ralston. a close friend of Watson's despite their political differences, laughed heartily when he heard the story.
 You tell Jim" he said, 'tto wait till I get down here, and I'll intro duce him around"

FLYING NOW SAFE,
 SAYS KEITH SMITH
Noted British Flier Says Law Should Regulate Planes and AviatOrs.
By ELLIS H. MARTIN, I, N. s. Staff Correspondent.


 San Francisco, Dec. 29.-F1ying is now a recognized method of transpor- tation and as safe as any other under proper conditions.
 This is the opinion of Sir Keith Smith, noted British aviator, who, with his brother, the late Sir Ross Smith, made the first England to Australia flight and who will next spring attempt a round the world flight.
 There should be stringent laws dealing with both the machines ana the qualifications and training Of the pilots," he declared when here re- gently making arrangements for oil and petrol stations in the A1eutian Islands and Alaska for his round the world flight.
 ''It is vttalIy important that the machines used for air transportation shall be right basically and mechan- ically," he added, ''and Likewise vi- tally essential that the pilots train ing shall be complete and broad enough to cover all conditions If the machines and pilots are right practically all of the hazard is taken from flying, and it Is the coming method of nsportation. In Flu rope the London-Paris and other con- tinental Hines are now accepted sue cesses. Tn the United States the aic mail service is a step in the right ii- rection. It will monstrate the commercial possibilities of air lines in this great continent"

 Cuyohoga Falls, O., Dec 29.-The only red light district in the Falls has been eradicated. The pink g1imnler which adorned the entrance of the po- lice station has been abolished.
