fires burning in that State. but re-
ports from Nevada showed that a
fire on the slopes of Granite Peak

unable to bring about any change in
them.

SCORE CARD Plan
AIDS LUNCHROOMS
Health Department Rating Is
Improving Standards of
Establishments.

The score card system of rating
lunchrooms, recently inaugurated by
the Health Department. is proving
helpful in maintaining a high stand
ard among dining establishments, in
the opinion Of health officials.
For a number of years, the health
office has kept a score on the dairies.
Health Officer Fowler decided to ex-
tend the system to the restaurants
and cafes
The department has always had
certain standards of cleanliness for
eating places, but the purpose of the
score card plan Is to create a spirit of
competition to spur the proprietors
on to further efforts in the wholesome
handling and dispensing of food.
Points Taken Into CONFEDERATION.
In fixing the percentage of lunch
room on the score card, the health in
spectors consider the condition of the
floors. walls and ceilings; lighting
and ventilation; method of storing
food and facilities for sterilization
condition Of utensils and garbage re-
ceptacles: condition of yard and cell
lar. and the physical condition of
employees.
Many eating places are adding to
their rating by submitting certificates
showing the employees who handle
food to be sound physically.
The food inspection service has
grown to be one of the most impor-
tant branches of the Health Departs
ment. Headed by Chief Inspector Il.
r. Ashworth. there are "a men in this
service. who spend all of their time
watching over the food and drink
supply of the city.
There are eight veterinarians. who
patrol the farms in Maryland and
Virginia, where Washington's> milk
supply originates, keeping check on
the condition of the herds and the
farm facilities.
Watches Incoming Milk.
When the milk reaches the city,
another inspector Is waiting at the
freight platform to take samples for
analysis in the health Office labora-
tory. Other inspectors observe how
the milk is prepared for delivery in
the local dairies. AS a final step in
supervision, samples occasionally are
taken from wagons on the streets.
Inspector Ashworth has three men
constantly making a round of the
grocery stores to see how food is
handled there One man Is detailed
at the wholesale row to pass on all
incoming products. Another inspec-
tor concentrates on all fish shipments
entering the city. There are two
miscellaneous inspectors who super
wise bakeries. soft drink places and
similar establishments.

VIRGINIA RANKS HIGH
IN IMPROVED ROADS
Official Shows Progress Since Es.
tablishment of Department
in 1905.

by the Associate ted Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Augu 16.--Vir-
ginia ranks high with sister States
in the number of completed miles of
improved roads, H. G. Shirley, chair
man of the state highway commits
sion, said in a statement issued to-
night.
The statement was issued by the
chairman through Carter w. Worme-
ley, director Of the State bureau Of
publicity, who had requested a brief
but comprehensive summary Of the
activities Of the highway department
during the period of it's existence.
"The State highway department
was created in 1906" said the chair
man, having supervisory powers
only. In 1918 a system of approxi-
mately 1000 miles was established
by an act of the general assembly,
and a highway commission was Gre
ated in 1919. This commission op-
reorganizing the department was put
into effect. This law required the
commission to take over not only the
construction but the maintenance OF
all roads In the system and carried
the right to increase the mileage 2k
per cent annually.
Under the above and subsequent
acts of the lawmakers the system
now possesses total mileage of ap-
proximately 400 miles and is laid
out to take care of the traffic between
the leading cities, as we'll as to con-
meet, either directly or by spur, all
the county seats In the State.
approximately 1900 miles of road
have been constructed. OF this total,
1900 miles were built by the State
at a cost of $22,0O0,o00. 40 miles by
the Federal Government and about
460 miles by the counties previous
to the system being taken over by
the commonwealth"

Loggers' Rate of Fatalities Highest
Of AU Workers in United States
Department of Labor Surrey Of Hazardous Occu
pations Sho,Us Railroad Brakemen and
Steel Workers Also in DANGER.

The brawny, heavy-booted men who
labor in the deep SHOWS of Winter
and the slush and freshets of Spring
to brings logs from the deep woods
down to the mills are engaged in the
most hazardous occupation in the
United States. Their fatality rate is
higher than that in any of the other
so-called hazardous occupations in
this country. the Department Of
Labor announced yesterday.
Basing its conclusions on study
of hazardous occupations made in
1920 and 1921, the department con-
cludes that out of every 1000 loggers
2O.l lose their lives annually, crushed
by falling trees, drowned in the rush
ing, swollen streams of the woods or
caught in log jams.
The next most hazardous occupa-
ton of record Is that of railway
brakemen, with a fatality frequency
Of 80 per 1000 men employed, while
structural steel workers, the gents

who nonchalantly walk across
three-inch steel beam hundreds of
feet in the air and toss red-hot rivets
across space, have a fatality rate of
8.7 per 1000.
Contrary to accepted opinion, the
coal-mining industry has a compara-
lively low fatality rate. although
there are thousands more men in coal
mining than in logging or structural
steel work. The coal miner dies in.
the proportion of 3.6 per 1000 men
employed, while metal miners have
an average fatality of 81. Quarry
men enjoy comparative immunity
from fatalities, with a rate of 90,
while blast furnace workers have
rate of 1.5 per 1000. Open hearth
steel workers are practically free
from fatalities, with a rate of but
6-10ths of 1 per cent.
These rates of fatality in seven of
the major industries Of the nation,
the department said, show a material
decline over a period Of years
