Clean MIX Important.

1t is highly important that every
COW in Grays Harbor county be tested
for tuberculosis; and especially does
this apply to the one-cow dairy, be-
cause 1t is well known that the one
cow dairy is most difficult to control
All milk consumed by human beings
and especially by infants and children
should come from cows known by the
health authorities to be free from
tuberculosis, or II this for some rea-
son is impossible. the milk should be
pasteurized. understand that one
can not buy certified raw milk any
where in Grays Harbor county. Such
condition. of course, is to be de-
plored.
Quite a number of the counties Of
the state have had a large percent
age Of their cattle tested for tuber-
culosis, and 1t is hoped that the own
ers of dairy cows in our county win
see the wisdom Of grasping the pres
ent opportunity for having their ami
mails tested, and thus be able to assure
their customers that their product is
from tuberculin-tested cows.

FINANCIERS WRECK
ROADS, NOW WANT
STATE TO CONTROL

BOSTON, July 12-Following a TO-
months investigation, 80 New Eng
land business men recommend state
control of the New Haven and the
Boston & Maine railroads. 1t is de-
clared that conditions on these two
properties are so bad that the several
states through which they operate
must act to save these systems so
necessary to the life of New England.
This policy is preferable to bank
ruptcy proceedings, for If a receiver
is appointed, the report states, this
would be followed by business de-
preston.
Cars In Bad Order.
The history of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford is a sordid story
of stock jobbing and railroad wreck
ing, which has eliminated in a lock-
out of its shop men. The business
men make indirect mention of this
lockout when they refer to "the pres
ent excessive number of idle bad
order freight cars"
Allied with the New Haven In in
competency is the Boston & Maine,
another anti-union corporation. Both
properties, the business men say,
should be controlled, operated and
financed by trustees appointed by the
several states Of New England.
1t is also suggested that the states
guarantee principal and interest of
bonds issued by the trustees under
state control. Where earnings do not
equal fixed charges. it is proposed
that state taxes be refunded.
State Control Last Refuge.
State control would be made pos
sible, according to the report, by re
questing" the two corporations to un-
dergo voluntary reorganization, put
ting entire control of their finances
and selection of executive officers in
to the hands of the trustees.
AS the two railroads are wrecked,
physically and financially, the bond
holders will possibly accept the hated
doctrine of state control rather than
lose their investments.
Collapse Is Complete.
The extent Of the New Ravens fl
nancial wreck is indicated by the
committees statement that the rail-
road came within s517 Of losing an
even $5,OO0.0O0 the first four months
of 1923. The road has debts of $127,-
824,201 that will mature the next II
years. besides $12,s19,5 for leased
lines.

brought about by men who are horri-
fled at the mention Of even slight
control OF railroads, and
who are forever preaching on the
value Of private initiative. Now a

tenders of private initiative from their
own ineOmpetency.

TUBERCU[ER TESTS
FOR GATTLEAD
BY DR.. R. }. CARY.
Medical Director, oakhurst
Sanatorium.

The direct relationship between hu-
man tuberculosis and the tuberculosis |
of cattle is and should be more and
more forcibly brought to the attention
of the residents of our county because
of the knowledge obtained during re-
cent investigations that many Of the
cases of tuberculosis, especially in in
fants and children, have been directly
traced to the poisoning of these
youngsters by the drinking of con-
taminated milk from tuberculer
cows. 1t is probably true that COM
paratively few adults develop active
tuberculosis. But in infants and chill
dren it is a very important factor and
demands our attention and careful
consideration.
Campaign Just Begun.
The campaign for detecting tuber-
culosis in the herds of Grays HarbOr
county is just getting under way, and
DR.. Parsons, of Vancouver, Wash, a
representative of the bureau Of ami
NAL industry, who is here to lead us
in this splendid work, should be given
every assistance possible. It is hop
ed that the owner Of every dairy COW
In the county will see the wisdom, IL
only from the economic viewpoint, Of
having HIS cows tested for this insid-
ious disease, which has been directly
responsible for the permanent Grip
pling Of thousands OF infants and
young children. and probably many
adults.
We are convinced that the eradica-
ton Of tuberculosis In cattle is worth
while purely from the commercial
standpoint. without reference to the
spread Of disease In men, women and
children. Recent tests in Michigan
show approximately 2hq5 of the cat
tie are positive reactors to the tuber-
culin test. This would mean that
there are still many thousand tuber-
culous cattle In that state. | am In

as any state in the Union, except
possibly Wisconsin. This can be safe

SCHOOL ROBBERY WORK OF
STUDENTS, is BELIEF

The r~ansacking of the Perth AM
boy High School some time Tuesday
night is believed to have been the
work of high school students, Lieu
tenant Detective Joseph A. Gutow-
ski indicated this morning. Detec-
tive Gutowski was detailed by Cap
tain of Detectives Lawrence A.. Long
yesterday morning after Superinten-
dent of Schools Samuel e. Shull mo-
tilted the police that the school had
been ransacked.
1t Ia the belief of the detective
that the student or students remain
ed In the school building on Tues
day afternoon and when the coast
was clear, started the search of the
rooms. Three private Offices were
broken into, desks in every room
rifed and a carpenter shop door was
forced open. In the latter room
tools were obtained for the compile
ton OF the work.
If the intention of the thieves
was to obtain money, the job was
not successful. for only 81 or IS was
obtained. Several times before the
State street school was robbed, and
pan arrest has never been made. Last
year five 500 Liberty bonds were
stolen.
1t is said that one high school
student was taken to headquarters
for questioning yesterday and on
information obtained arrests may be
expected.
