double header. In the first game. he
cleanly handled his five chances,
several of them of more than average
difficulty, and made two hits in four
times at bat. In the second, he took
care of four chances and got three
bingles in four efforts.
Had Spurgeon not made a spectac
ular catch of Dutch Ruether's liner,
that first game would have ended in
the ninth inning. Nationals were on
first and third bases with two out
when Dutch rif1ed a low liner toward
right field. But Spurgeon jumped
toward the first sack and made one
hand grab of the sphere.
George Burns did deal of batting
for the Tribe in the first clash, getting
two doubles and as many singles in
four times up. Spurgeon was the
most dangerous hitter for the Tribe
in that game, though. His two
singles knocked in three runs.

There arc two ways Of preventing nres-by cdu

prevention should not be delayed

described fire legislation common in France IN
many French cities, the Of property destroyed

has been advanced to show that the confagratio,i

property Quilted by fire originating from neglect Of

Gardcd as unhnkabc in the United States But
it has this in its favor. 1t prevents fires The fire

BY DIR. HUGH s. CUMMING
Surgeon General, United States Pub
lie Health Service


Few realize that the health de-
partment is department created
and supported by the people to look
after the health of the community,
TO protect them and their neighbors
from exposure to sickness.
4 health department will be as ef-
ficient and watchful as the people
insist that it shall be or allow il
TO be.
The department and its work rep
resent the desire of the people to
avoid disease, to live useful lives. to
protect themselves their children
and their families.
Disease is not necessary evil
sent upon us by Christening God
but is, in many instances, caused by
living things we call germs which
we got by direct or indirect contact
with the sick or by improper living
conditions.
The health department is a result
Of our knowledge that disease can
he prevented and that the degree
of the community's health depends
upon the desire of the citizens to
have health; their intelligence, and
the amount Of effort they are will
ing to make individually and through
their municipality to attain it.
MUST ENFORCE
HEALTH RULES
A part of the work of every health
department is the enforce of
laws and regulations which the peo-
pie have adopted for the protectio on
of the community's health.
1t is your duty as an intelligent
citizen TO know what these laws and
regulations arc.
You should also be able to COM
pare these laws and regulations with
those of other communities that you
may know whether your city or state
is doing as much as it should to
protect that which is of so great

New York Politicians at least,
take their politics seriously. and no.
where more so than in this city
which is supposed to regard all
things with intelligent disdain.
The city just now is undergoing
the pain of selecting a mayor. There
are on exhibition. in consequence,
dozens of devices which might serve
as local color for political novel Of
the hinterland a generation ago.
Red fire is the flaring illumination
for the scene. Bands and paradcs,
of course. A modified calliope towed
by motor through the streets serves
today to attract attention to the ban
ncr Of one candidate and tomorrow,
to that Of his rival. Ccl!uloid cam
paign buttons rain down from upper
windows as one loafs at a street cor
ner. The personal endearments be-
tween contestants recall the race for
jailor in Pulaski County, Ky. A dis
play advertisement in the papers
calls attention to the present mayors
free picnics and boat rides for
mothers.
It's the Roman public tables and
riots in the form all over again.
Inc ordinary citizen just trying to
get along can console himself at the
lack of an automobile more easily
here than almost anywhere else. He
can tell himself, with sincerity, that
he wouldn't know what to do with a
car if he had it. If he lives in down
town Manhattan the argument is
more convincing, for traffic conges-
tion between home and the open
road is the sort of thing to break a
drivers heart
One motor,st I know--a woman
keeps her car over in Jersey near
one of the tubes. She uses the sub
way or occasionally a taxcab for all
practical purposes. Then of an eve
ming or for the weekend she goes to
her car and takes it spinning
through the country on accessible
roads which erase all thought of the
city.
| Another car owner, and there are
many like him, simply keeps an au-
tomobile as an investment and has
driver operate it for hire on a fiji
ty-fifty basis. But the arrangement
is more profitable for the driver than
for the owner. And the owner never
gets a ride.

SAFEGUARDING HEALTH

Importance to the individual and
the general welfare as the health OF
the community.
It is not the laws on the statute
books that are of value but the ones
that are observed or enforced. You
and every other Thoughtful citizen
should know what work your health
department is doing and the extent
of protection from disease that is
being afforded you and those dear
E EVERY fHsi HOUSEHOLD
SHOULD HELP
Every household should see that
it does not spread disease to others.
that it does not become focus OF
infection endangering the welfare Of
the community.
AS a citizen. your responsibility
for the public health means that you
should keep your premises \clean.
that you should see to it that you
do not maintain collections of gar
bage or refuse in which flies may
| breed.
You should see that all sanitary
| regulations are complied with and
then should supplement these efforts
| with as many more as your knowl-
edge tells you will be useful. When
! ever any member Of your household
contracts communicable disease
you should take such precautions as
will prevent its spread to others.
You should bear in mind that
every case Of communicable disease
is contracted directly or indirectly
from some infected person and that
case in your family is probably due
to someone's neglect Of his response
bility to the community.
Your own household should not
become the cause Of the further
spread of the disease. If the dis
ease is one that should be reported
to the health department you should
! see that this report is made. and in
any case, if in doubt, you should
communicate with the health depart
ment for advice or instructions.
