spections of the city's milk supply are not confined to local dairies Thou sands of gallons of milk and large quantities of dairy products are shipped into Birmingham from other parts of this state and from Tennes- see. The chief of the division of food and dairy inspection, recently return ing from trips to dairies in other dis tant localities that market their products in this city, has reported that he made careful inspections and found conditions entirely satisfactory.
 This is highly important in caring for the public health. Some years ago Birmingham suffered a serious cpl demic of typhoid. After weeks of ef- fort by the city authorities, the source of the disease was traced to a dairy miles from this city. It was proved that many victims of the disease used milk from that dairy. There were dozens of cases of typhoid, Careful inspection of this and other distant
 
 dairies that market their products in this city would have prevented that ca lamity; for that was what it proved to be, after checking up on the deaths, the anxiety, trouble and costs.
 One insanitary dairy may be respon- sible for serious epidemic of typhoid upon a whole community. Such a situation has already been demon strated, and hence the importance of just as careful inspection of distant dairies sending their products into the city as of the local dairies and their products. It is the only safe and practical plan for prevention of dis ease from this source.

THE coReAs SITUATION.

The sale of the Gorgas steam plant to the Alabama Power company by Sec retary Weeks is an act that was not unexpected in view of the secre- tarys known attitude towards the Muscle Shoals development and Ford's offer. It i5 of record that the secre- tary of war, during this long contro- versy, has not taken any stand favor able to the evident public demand for the early operation of the Muscle Shoals project. It is true that the
 secretary has favored the completion of the Wilson dam but the attendant delay with respect to the Ford offer has not been in harmony with wide sector of public opinion throughout this country. The completion of the sale has disregarded all claims of H. legality charged against the Gorgas contract, and all allegations as to the
 >ajor public interest in the transact ion. The essential relationship be- tween the Muscle Shoals project and the auxiliary power plant at Gorgas has likewise been ignored.
 Nevertheless, there are indications that the sale may not be valid, especi- ally if it be shown that the contract itself was not valid; and further, if there is anything to the claim that the plant does not actually rest upon the property of the power company. It appears that the attorney generals opinion was based upon ex parte statements, and that the sale was con summated without having given due consideration to the assertion that there is another side to the question, and that the arguments for that side are so strong as to be convincing. It is not yet known what Ford's re- action to the sale will be, but there is public hope that there is still way for him to take over Muscle Shoals, and also to have the question of the legality and fairness of the Gorgas contract reviewed by competent court.

PROTECTING THE STREAMS

Some more seiners using gill nets in violation of the law have been ar rested and will probably be heavily fined, as were four or five others of late. This is the kind of work by wardens, with cooperation uf conser- vationists throughou. the state, which will do much towards the protection of game fish. An effective aid in the campaign by fishermen and conserva- tionists generally to stop dynamiters, trappers, seiners, pollutors of streams and others who are contributing to the destruction of fish and game in Ala banra, is widespread publication of ar rests and penalties inflicted for vio- lators of the law. Some of these of
 lenders are not actuated by defiance of the statutes, but are ignorant of the meaning and purpose of the cor SC: va- tion plan. Enlightenment should be
