Stop Epidemic
In Philippines

Manila, Oct. 31.-Eradication of
all dangerous epidemics in the Phil
ippine Islands, organization of an
efficient commissioner personnel, and
survey of malaria and hookworm in
tested areas preliminary to cam
paigns carried out with the cooper
alton, of the Rockefeller Foundation,
were the outstanding achievements
of the insular health service during
last year, according to the annual
report of the director of health
Invaluable knowledge as to the ex-
tent of malaria and hookworm was
made available for health workers
through the survey of conditions in
several portions of the islands init
lated by the Rockefeller Foundation,
the report says, thus making it much
easier for the service to draft plans
for combating the two diseases.
The general birth rate during 1922
increased, while the death rate be-
came lower. The letter showing is
attributed to the general improve
ments. in sanitary conditions in most
parts Of the islands.
With reference to the anti-typhoid
and smallpox vaccinations which are
being given by health officers from
time to time, it is declared that from
the results obtained, there is evil
dence that immunity from typhoid
and smallpox on the part of large
number of the people during 1922
was due to inoculations.

Bulgarian sailing ship Biala was
hardly out of mems mouths, when
there came the recital Of how the
crew Of the anon were done to
death by Turkish marauders from
a city of Asia Minor. The Anon
sailed from this port for CONSTANT
nople, laden with turpentine. A few
miles out she was approached by two
large boats. The Captain, not lik-
ing the appearance OF these strange
craft, crowded on all sail in an eff
fort to get back to port, but the
motor boats were too quick for him.
One approached him from starbeard
and the other from port, and ranging
alongside with graphing irons soon
had strong hold.
Then armed men went aboard the
sailing vessel and made her their
own. They overpowered the crew
and laSnn-d th to hulwarks and

disclose the whereabouts Of the

This was quickly gathered in. and
the pirates made quick getaway,
but before they cast of they set the
Anon on fire. She was soon doomed,
end so were her crew, still dashed TO
the deck stanchions.
Only one man succeeded in work
ing himself loose. He drove over
board and swan to the Bulgarian
shore, where, he related the story.

STRANGE MUSICAL VOYAGE Of S. S. PRISCILLA
PHANTOM MELODY
FLOODED EVERY !.
PART OF STEAMER
Men and women danced to music
played by no. musician on
board and ships cook
igged to phantom
- tune.

One OF the strangest voyages or
record was the trip made this month
by the Steamer Priscilla Of the Fall
River Line through Long Island
Sound.
On the deck in the cool October
hir men and women danced calmly
to music which was played by no
musician on the boat. In the fore
castle members OF the crew off watch
jigged and kept time to tunes which
were not made by any musical instru-
ment on board.
Barges are loaded every day with
coal, and ships with bales of mer-
chandise for the ports OF .all nations
but only one boat has ever been
filled with music-irom the quarters
Of the crew far forward to tn; saloon
deck of the passengers far aft, and
from the freight deck below to the
spar deck above.
If this trip had taken place even
twenty years ago there would prob
lbly have been panic and excitement
Instead of dancing calmly, the pas
'sengers would surely have rushed to
md fro. Yet the fact that the Pris-
ella embarked with her cargo of
music in day when radio is by
word makes the trip no less strange,
no less remarkable. For it was not
the reception of music by radio that
was so unusual as the fact that the
music was everywhere on the boat.
On any. deck, in almost every turn

ionists. The radio reception was not
extraordinary-but the program was
amplifed and distributed uniformly
through sound projectors in every
part of the steamer where passengers
and crew assembled. The dancers

cooperation of the Fall River Line
and the Western Electric Company.
In d sense the Priscilla took her
place with the Clermont and the
Great Eastern in the fleet of in
qsvators of the salt water. The Fall
River liner furnished excellent op-
portunities for demonstrating the eff
fectiveness of the simplifying system
in providing entertainment for sew
eral audiences at the same time. The
route of the Priscilla and her sister
ships is through Long Island So~nd
and Narragansett Bay, one of the
most beautiful salt water trips, The

At intervals the radio program was
halted, and selections by the Pris-
illa's own concert orchestra took its
place. This was accomplished by
means of a sensitive microplone
mounted on the gallery deck. This
picked up the music which was car
ried to the ampliicr on the freight
deck and from there distributed uni
forrnly, precisely as the radio music
had been.
Many passengers were not sure
that the source of all the music was
not on the boat itself and they in

radio; otherwise they did not see why

HOSPITALS AID
IN EXTENDING
SPAN OF LIFE
Patients Passing Through
Hospitals Become Messen-
gers to People
HIGH OPERATING COST
Advance in Medical Science
Results in Shortening Time
of Illnesses

Milwaukee, Oct. 3l.-People of the
United States and Canada are living
longer because of means employed
by hospitals to promite health, ~ac-
cordng to Asa S. Bacon of Chicago,
president of the American Hospital
Associ;1 lion, who opened the twenty
fifth annual conference of hospital
. executives, trustees and nurses here
today.
Mr.. Bacon said that the thousands
Of people who piss through hospitals
during a year become messengers of
good health in their respective homes
and communities, and thus spread
The good work of the institutions.
Hospitals make public health SER
vice possible and reduce the death
tie in cities and towns" he contin-
ued. without the hospitals, physi-
:ians could not possibly make the
great advances which are being re-
corded in medical science. Because
of this steady advance Of medical
science, and the efficiency of hospi-
tails, the average stay of patients in
hospitals is 10 days less than it was
% years ago when this association
was started.
"At that time the cost of caring
for a sick person was about the same
as that of caring for a we'll person,
plus the physicians fees. Gradually
the advance made in medical science
called for the installation of labor
atories with expensive equipment
and high salaried persons in charge
to aid the physicians in their work.
Occupational therapy, social service,
4dietetics and other specialties were
also added as departments of the
hospitals to increase efficiency and
decrease suffering.
"The high cost Of running modern
hospitals on the one hand and the
limited financial resources of many
whom we serve on the other, COM
pels us to look to charitably- minded
persons in the community for help
to finance the work. Every genera
ton amasses more wealth than it
needs, therefore it is benefit to
humanity that mon and women be-
stow their wealth upon standardized
hospitals of proved efficiency. 1t be-
hooves us to keep the work of our
institutions before such charitable
persons to the end that health Itay
be promoted and life be saved"
One of the features of the confer
ence this year will be the enlarged
educational exhibition covering two
acres in the Milwaukee auditorium
where scientific instruments and
hospital equipment will be displayed.

The first strange seagoing excur-
sion OF a cargo of music was dis

passengers who listened in. Through

The volume of sound was so con-
trolled that those in each part of
the boat were under the impression
that they heard the music direct.
The horns which distributed the
music were inc6nspicuous and most
of the time unnoticed. Frequently
here was an impression that music
came from across the water, fact
which added much to the effective
less of the programs. Blinking light
houses and music from 'afar and the
gentle movement OF the boat threw
glamour about travel from New
