loosening the reins to the slightest extent.

A dispatch from Washington by Leroy
7. Vernon to the Chicago Daily News cx-
plains a proposed plan of cooperation by
various federal representatives.
Mr.. Vernon says:
"Bootleggers the country over are GO
ing to experience more difficulty in plying
their illegal trade. Administration officials
have completed an arrangement whereby
inspectors in every branch of the govern
ment service will aid the prohibition
agents in ending the sale of liquor
These inspectors, some $4,000 in num-
ber will be on the watch henceforth for
bootleggers, not only on the Canadian
and Mexican borders and along the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, but wherever
they are stationed. These men are at
tached to practically every department of
the government. Whenever they get in
formation leading them to believe that
any person is engaged in the liquor traffic,
they will submit report to the nearest
prohibition agent.
Plans Are Completed
"Plans for this consolidation of forces
were outlined at conference attended by
various government officials, including
representatives of the prohibition bureau,
the treasury department, the department.
of justice, the coast guard, the postofice
department and the department of the in

perfected, leading prohibition officials to

pears to be much more prevalent
among the Indians who live in COM
munity houses, like the Pueblos; or,
among those having the most filthy
habits, like the Apaches, among whom
/, the disease is next most prevalent.
!, The Navajos come next, possibly be-
cause they live in a country where
there is so little water that they can't
bathe as often as they might After
the Navajos, come the Walpai, San
Carlos, Pimas, Papagoes and Hopi,
among whom the percentage IS about
the same and for the same reasons as
have been assigned the Navajos. 1t is
also believed that the irritation from
sand, wind and bright sunlight of the
desert country in which these last
named tribes live, have something to
do with the prevalence of the disease.
Trachoma can be readily transmit
ted from one person to another by
4 touch. The eye being one of the most
| delicate parts of the body, it Is easily
infected. Realizing this, the govern
ment has prescribed specific rules and
regulations to prevent the spread of
the disease in the Indian schools; and
i il. has been found that the prevalence
of the disease in the schools cores
ponds to the rigidness with which
these rules and regulations are carried
out. Towels, books, pencils and cloth
ling are often mediums by which the
disease is spread, and for this reason
care is exercised to see that pupils
have individual articles of this sort
and use only their own.
On July /, 1925, the government
inaugurated a special campaign, in adj
dition to the regular work that was
being done, against trachoma among
Indians. The services of the best
loperators in the country were secured,
and corps of specially trained eye
specialists and. nurses were set to
work to see what could be done to-
ward stamping it out. Some of the
most prominent ophthalmologists in
the world volunteered their services.
One of these, DIR. l.. Webster Fox,
professor of ophthalmology in the
University of Pennsylvania, who has
made life time study of the disease
in Europe, Asia and Africa, as we'll as
in this country, gave a number OF
snecial demonstration clinics at diff
ferent points in the Indian country
for the benefit of the government
nhysicians and nurses engaged in this
work. At these clinics a large num-
Der of physicians received special
training which added greatly to their
fitness for handling trachoma and
treating it by the most improved
methods.
Some of the results of this cam
paign are shown in the schedule be
low, which was taken from the report
of Travelling Auditor Chester L.
Walker, U. S. Indian service, who has
charge of the financial and statistical
matters pertaining to the campaign

water into the smaller reservoir. A
half million gallons was taken in in
this way on Tuesday,
Sam Killen has completed the reser-
voir-to-town flow line and it is in
use The result is big increase in
water pressure, sufficient now to give
heavy pressure at the highest point in
town. The pressure on Wednesday
was 90 pounds, which is higher than
formerly even when the 50-million
gallon reservoir was full.
In the meantime work on the new
50-millions gallon reservoir is going on
little more slowly than anticipated.
The sides are completed most of the
way around, but space has to be left
until the sub-contractor finishes ex-
cavating, and he doesn't seem to be
breaking any records. Whether the
slab and concrete bottom can be
placed this fall before hard freezing
weather comes is a problem. 1t may
be that a tent will be used and fires,
if needed, as the engineers seem to
be insistent that the reservoir be COM
pleted within contract time, which
ends November 30. The reservoir part
of the three-part water development,
however, is least important to Flag
staff as far as completion this fall is
concerned, because we have 55 million
gallon storage without it and it could
easily be completed in the spring BY
the time the present reservoirs were
full.
Sam Killen is mooching along with
his laying new and larger distribution
pipes in town and will be finished

SOUTHWEST TRACHOMA
CAMPAIGN AMONG INDIANS

AS officials and employees of the
United States Indian service, who are
connected with the southwestern tra-
choma campaign, are constantly being
piled with questions concerning the
work, it has been deemed advisable to
publish few of the facts that have
been revealed by the operations during
the past fiscal year. Questions most
commonly asked are about the nature,
origin, prevalence, and communl-
cability of trachoma, and what is be-
ing done to curb it. 1t is hoped that
| satisfactory answers to most OF the
above questions will be found in the
information given below.
Trachoma is a highly infectious
| disease of the eyelids, serious prlncl-
pally because of its subsequent dam
age to the eye proper. The flrst
signs, usually, are the appearance OF
small granules on the under surface
of the eyelids, and Slight inflamma-
tion of the eye. As the granules in
crease in number and change IN char
; acter, the inflammation becomes more
pronounced, and sometimes causes
much discomfort. The sensation is
often similar. to that Of having sand
in the eye.
Physicians and others who have
studied trachoma, and who have work
ed with it for many years, are yet un-
able to state definitely where it came
from, or how the Indians got it. Be
cause of the fact that it is very pre-
valent in the older countries, many
| believe that the disease was brought
here by way of the Bering strait, or,
that the Spanish explorers brought it
to this continent; but many believe
that it has always been here. All we

The above figures show only a part
of the work that has been done.
Much has been accomplished that cam
not be shown by figures. A thorough
knowledge of the nature and best
methods of treating the disease have
been gained, and the extent of the
work to be done has been measured.
During the present fiscal year it is
estimated that many times as much
will be accomplished as was in the
past year. A much larger force of
specially trained operators are now
at work and more will be added as
they become qualified and the work
requires. A larger amount of money
has been made available for use dur
ing this fiscal year and nothing is ex-
pected to interfere with the work.
The auditors reports show that the
people of the southwest are in sympa-
thy with and much interested in this
great work and that they have CO.

is hoped that this spirit will continue

THOUGHTS OF AN IDLE
FELLOW
By Charlie Gillham

Did you ever go busting down the
street some fine morning feeling like
you could whip Dempsey and meet
some gink that says, "What you say
old top?" Right off the bat you snap
it back, "Save your money and buy
shoe strings" or some other bright
remark.
Did you ever notice the guy who
says, "save your money" usually has
Mt dime and never did save one?
Makes you wonder how he gets that
way, handing out so much free advice
and not practicing what he breaches.
Sure is food for thought, folks.
There's a mess of us bozos that Just
get enough on pay day to pay our bills

would suddenly develop heavy appe-
tite, we would have to hook his cage
