. Second Gorgas

+ Another great American SanlCarlan
in the Tropics is honored by the dedi-
cation Of a School of Tropical Medi-
cine and Hygiene in Porto Rico.
This man is DR.. Bailey X. Ashford
of the United States army who has
for sixteen years been doing epoch
marking work for the health of the
island, his greatest achievement be-
ing the discovery of the cause and
then the eradication of hookworm
which was taking annual toll of thou
sands of Porto Ricans. The govern
ment made an appropriation of mon
ey at the beginning of his work and
Columbia University took over some
departments of research, establishing
an institute which was further fl
nanced by the local legislature. Other
direct benefits Of the institute have
been the elimination of smallpox and
yellow fever. The work will be ad-
vanced until malaria fever, too, is
banished and all other tropical dis
eases that education and sanitation
may be able to control This insti-
tuition is the first of it's kind that can
study first hand conditions scienti-
fically in their own environment. BY
rights Cuba should have memorial
research institute to honor General
Gorgas, who eliminated yellow fever
in Havana during the Spanish Ameri-
can war period. However, the real
conquerors of the disease were the
four doctors who composed the COM
mission--Carrol, Reed, Lazear and
characterization the world holds
in grateful honor, two having died
from their experience.

CROWDING THE DRIVER

Attention is called to many young people
riding in automobiles who feel it necessary to
snuggle closely up to the drivers of these cars,
with three or four of them in the front seat,
while the back seat is not occupied. They
seem to enjoy such crowding, which may some
times be menace to the public
The driver thus hemmed in is hardly in a
position to do a skilful job in operating his
car, and quite frequently in such position ne
thinks he has to speed up a little in order to
arouse the admiration of his fair companions
The man who attempts to drive in these times
has about all he can do to operate his car, and
he should be given plenty of space in which to
do so.

Stephens Related Honor

The second step in the placing of
Alexander Stephens statue in the
Hall OF Fame has just been reached
in the shipping of block of Georgia
marble to Washington, D. c., where
Gurtzon Borglum, noted sculptor,
will carve it as companion piece to
the one of DIR. Crawford Long I'M
yelled last spring. Mrs. J. M. High
of Atlanta is financing the creation
of the memorial in the name Of the
Atlanta chapter of the U. D. c. True
the legislature of Georgia named
these two men as fitting objects of
such honor several years ago, but
the state laws do not permit appro-
priations of this character so it is up
to individuals or societies to finance
such memorials.

WILLANSWER
|! PROTEST. FROM
AMBASSADOR
Mexico Has No Intention to
Injure Foreign Rights,
Says Senior Saenz

Mexico City, Jan. 11.-G&)-1t is re-
ported unofficially that Foreign Min
ister Saenz will send 4 note on We'd
nesday to United States Ambassador
Sneffleid in reply to the ambassadors
formal protest against the retroac-
tive features of the new Mexico an
u-aiicn land law. This law and the
new petroleum act are held to vio-
late the pledges given the United
States at the time that country ac-
corded recognition to Mexico.
IL rs said here, however, that il is
the purpose of the Mexican govern
ment to maintain its sovereign right
under the Mexican constitutions to en-
act without foreign interference any
legislation it may desire.
Senior Saenz says that there is no
Intention to injure foreign rights in
the enforcement of new laws, and
tfat If any American interest or in
dlsldual complains of injury, the
NJ ,xican courts and the Mexican gov
cinmcnt will adjust them properly.
Washington Dispatch Featured
The protest Of the ambassador ere
att much interest in the capital. The
newspapers made q feature of the
dispatch from Washington announc-
ing the American governments ac-
ton in ordering Mr.. Sheffield to lay
before the Mexican government its
representations against the retroac-
tvs features of the anti-alien land
law.
The belief is, in well-infork,cd cir
clcs here, that there will be no early
Qualification of the situation, but that
ultimately there will be an amicable
adjustment. The conversations Of
Mr.. Sheffield and Foreign Minister
Saenz are said to have been pleasant
thus far. -
