A Deadly Vapor.

EXPLOSIONS on vessels carrying
petroleum frequently occur, and
this is usually caused not by the car
goes of oil which they contain, but by
the inf1ammable vapor which is left
behind after the huge tanks of the
ships have been emptied. 1t is diff
cult to remove all the oil that adheres
to the sides of the tank, and the evap-
Grafton of the oily film left in them
after they have been pumped out
takes place with great rapidity. More
over, the vapor thus formed mingles
readily with the air and is capable
of rendering more than 1000 times
its own volume of the latter inf1am-
rnable. A spark may thus cause a
fearful explosion in the hold Of a
ship that is apparently empty.
A film of petroleum spreading over
the surface of the water has been
known to produce enough Of this vola-
tile and dangerous vapor to cause a
confiagration by which a number Of
ships lying in a harbor have been
suddenly enwrapped in roaring flames
as If by stroke of magic.
In some parts Of the world, as at
Baku, the Russian petroleum port.
film Of oil continually covers the
water for considerable distance from
shore, and warnings of the danger
lurking there have more than once
been given.

partment collects samples frequently
from the q public and private bath
ing pools in the District and subjects
them to chemical and meteorological
tests. If any evidence of contamina-
ton is found water publication meas
ures are instituted Immediately.
Dangerous. rabid and biting dogs
are controlled as effectively as may
be in Washington by the District
poundmaster. who functions under
the auspices of DR.. Fowler's far
reaching service. From 5000 to 5000
stray and vagrant animals are picked
up annually in Washington streets
and alleys and removed to the canine
gaol. The existent District law re-
quires that dogs be muzzled during
the three or four Summer months,
when cases of rabies ordinarily are
most numerous. DR.. Fowler main
tains that all the dogs In the District
at such times should be muzzled or
handled on leashes whenever they ap-
pear on local streets. He contends
that biting dogs are a source OF dan
ger throughout the year and that all
of these domesticated animals that
appear in public should wear strong,
durable muzzles.
THE Health Department also has
charge of the issuance of permits
for the operation of day nurseries and
boarding homes for children. Before
official sanction Is granted for any
such establishments to operate care
full inspection is made Of the premises
and the experience of the owner in
caring for children is investigated
Only such institutions as satisfy all
the District regulations are privileged
to engage in this important vocation.
The Fowler force examines all public
and private hospitals for man or ami
mails in the District and authorizes
only such establishments as abide In
all respects by local laws and regula-
tions.
During the last rotation of the cal,
endar the District chemical labora-
tory examined and tested 10,722 sam
pies. as follows: Drugs. 2s: foods.
1o,3s9; water. 1872, and air, 130.
TWenty-nine special examinations
were made for the Police Department
meteorological laboratory examined
1855 specimens of all kinds during
the same period.
The District representatives super.
intended the disinfection Of 1,940 prem
tses where cases Of contagious dis
eases had occurred. In addition, large
numbers Of mattresses. pillows, bed
clothing and books, which were
brought from former sick rooms to the
fumigation station, were also disin-
fected.
Twelve hundred or more applicants
for teaching positions in District
schools are given physical examina-
ttons to determine their fitness for
such educational activities during the
period from one Labor day to the
next.
A new District regulation makes It
obligatory that all mattresses which
are renovated in Washington be disin.
fected simultaneously by processes
Evening star., 1926-12-12

The local dairy inspectors can be
seen on the streets from 2 o'clock In
the morning until daylight and later
rounding up samples of milk as they
are about to be delivered to the
consumers.
Rigid and thorough inspections of
all the Washington dairies are also
made to check up on the sanitary
management practiced and the health
and physical condition of the en-
ployes. Ordinarily, the plant of each
dairy distributor in the District is in
spected approximately 40 times a,
year. This means a visit from the
District inspector once every nine
days. The purity of our milk supply
in no small measure obtains from the
rigorous and continuous surveillance
of dairy farms, dairies and deliveries.
Another of the extraordinary duties
of the District Health Department is
the supervision of the Washington alb
batoirs. You will doubtless be sur
prised to learn that in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 cattle, 4.500 sheep, 3, 100
calves and $4,000 swine are slaugh-
tered and prepared for wholesale and
retail distribution in the District. Lo-
cal laws require that this large vol
ume of meats and meat products be
prepared for human consumption In
sanitary ways.
The 1913 employees of the Health
Department are kept on the go con-
stantly attending to this and that and
a multitude of other duties, which
invariably appear to be expanding
instead of contracting. The abate-
ment of the smoke nuisance in Wash
igton is one of the tasks which re-
the Winter. Smoke inspectors make
between 10000 and 10000 observa-
tions every year. AS many as 500 or
more violations of the Districts smoke
laws are located and remedied or
prosecuted every 12 months. Our Ma
tional Capital is policed admirably
against those dense clouds Of black
smoke which obscure skyline and the
Heavens in such industrial cities as
Pittsburgh and Chicago.
Twelve thousand women employed
by 1,944 business concerns in the Dis
trict come under the jurisdiction of
is enforced by the Health Department.
This self-same agency is intrusted
with the administration Of the child
labor laws in the City of Chief Execu-
tives.
Regular tests are made of the
purity of Washington's drinking
water supply. Furthermore. frequent
chemical tests are made of all the
drinking water used by the common
carriers, both water and rail, which
enter the city. These analyses are
reported to the surgeon generals
office of the United States Public
Health Service. The average year ap-
proximately 1900 samples of water
from private wells are also tested for
purity by District chemists.
The water in natatoriums and bath
ing pools is frequently a carrier Of
infection and disease. In order tc

attention. AS pen cent had defective
speech, 3.S per cent pulmonary dis.
ease and 2.6 per cent defective hear
ing.
The Health Department also pre-
vents the spread of contagious dis
eases in the schools as far as possible.
Complete medical inspection of all the
public schoolrooms, buildings and
surroundings are made frequently.
Such matters as the lighting of the
rooms, use of sunshades, adjustment
Of desks, chairs and other fixtures
to the size of the pupils, ventilation
and heating of school buildings, the
use and maintenance of sanitary
drinking fountains and similar factors
are included in these painstaking sur
veys. The Health Department makes
recommendations for improving un-
satisfactory conditions to the Board
of Education.
When school children reach an age
and development where they are large
enough to go to work the Health
Department again acts referee and
arbiter by examining these juvenile
candidates and ascertaining if they
are physically qualified to perform the
anticipated commercial activities. In
the neighborhood of 900 school chill
dren annually are examined. as re-
Quired by District law, permits being
issued to those that pass the tests to
work at certain trades or other forms
of profitable employment.
Dental examinations of 10000 Dis.
trict pupils brought to light the i'm
portant information that 77.6 per
cent needed technical attention be-
cause of defective teeth. The District
records. however, show a progressive
reduction in the number of school
children having such teeth, and this
Improvement, unquestiona bly,. has
been effected by the cumulative in.
fiuence of the District school dental
clinics. The dental prophylatic opera
tors treat between 1000 and 5000
school children annually. Five thou
sand of these pupils also are treated
at the four District dental clinics
every Il months.
School teachers aid in the simple
tests of the school children's vision
The Smelling test chart" is used for
this purpose. Approximately one
third of the youngsters thus tested
have shown defective vision. This
research is being continued in order
to ascertain what measures and pre-
cautions are necessary to protect
! fully the eyesight of Washington e
younger generation which attends the
public schools.

approved by DR.. Fowler. A mattress
which has been used In a hospital,
sanitarium or by some private indi-
viduel suffering from a contagious
disease cannot be sold legally there
after in the District Of Columbia.
For several years now, DIR. Fowler
has been advocating the construction
Of a municipal hospital for contagious
diseases, but as yet this eventuality Is
merely in the incubation stage.
The District has a special contract
with Garfield and Providence Hos.
pitals to take care of such patients
under existent circumstances. Ninety
beds In isolation quarters are now
available at these hospitals for the
treatment of such cases.
A special smallpox hospital owned
and maintained by the District Gov
ernment provides satisfactory quar-
ters for 30. Another commodious
building for the quarantine of sus-
pected contagious or communicable
disease accommodates so adults and
8 juvenile cases. A leper isolation
hospital is always ready for service
but it has not been used for some
years as there are no lepers in this
section. Several public dispensartes
are maintained which treat many
thousand patients.
The District of Columbia strives to
provide healthful conditions within its
borders so that its residents will live
to ripe old age with the minimum of
dangerous and ordinary diseases and
sicknesses. Each year it expends
approxima tely 1851 900 TO effect such
results. 1t even goes further in it's

been used successfully in the disposal
of the bodies of paupers and those
who die of communicable diseases.
Some few private cremations were
made as we'll as about $50 public
cremations.
Every death which occurs in the
District of Columbia has to be reported
to the Health Department. 1t would
be more difficult to smuggle a dead
person from the District without regis
tration than to bring priceless gems
into this country from abroad with
out paying the import duty.
The mortality records are very COM
prehensive. The name, age, date of
birth, parentage, residence and the
cause of death are recorded in each
demise as we'll as additional data on
the duration of the illness and the
| disposition of the remains.
Yes. thank you, health conditions
are very good and constantly improv-
ing in Washington. Despite the large
colored population. whose death-rate
| is three times as great as that of the
white race, mortality is on the de-
crease in the District
During the last fiscal yeaS, there
occurred only IA deaths in every / 900
of population. Infant mortality dur.
| ing the first year has amounted to
S6.4 per 1000 reported births. During
a recent year, 65 persons who died
were 80 years of age or older, while
454 were between so and SO years of
age. The total deaths that year
amounted to $3.50. The normal births
in the District now aggregates more
than 10000 annually.
