My dear Mr.. Editor:
The Government of the Virgin
Islands is endeavoring to assist persons
infected with Uncinariasis, commonly
known as Hook worm disease, and in
order that the public may know the char
acterIstics OF this disease and the neces.
sity for the protection of the health of
the general community, | am forwarding
herewith a copy of an article prepared
by the Medical Aide, Commander C. E.
Ryder, Medical Corps, u. S. Navy, which
| hope you may be able TO publish
through the medium of your newspaper.
1t might be pertinent to add that the
Rockefeller Foundation and the United
States Public Health Service are taking
measures similar to those now being en-
pl0yed in the island of St. Croix 80 COM

The scientific methods now used in
combating ho0kwOrm disease are effica-

HOOKWORM DISEASE.
(UNCINARIASIS.)

Uncinariasis, popularity known as
"Hookworm disease" Is caused by the
infestatlon of man with a large num-
Der of small hook shaped worms which
attach themselves to the mucous Innings
of the intestines and suck the vital fluid
which is the s~ustenance of life.
The contraction of the disease can be
brought about, firstly. by walking with

has been deposited any length of time
in places where there is warmth, mois
ture and shade. 1t is. of ~courSep primari-
ly necessary that the derositor must be
infected in order that DELEGATION may
produce the hazard of transmission. The
larvae ordinarily found in such eIimi-
mated matter can easily puncture the
soft flesh between the toes and thus
enter the body, effecting an eventual
Judgment in particularly the small mites
tile. They propagate rapidly, 4 1000 of
these worms having been demonstrated
as passed by a patient. When it is con-
sidered that each worm can produce a
number of wounds in the mucosa of the
intestinal tract, favOring secondary infec-
ton, it will easily be seen how G ave
the disease is and how direfuI the conse.
Quences may be. The unciDariae may
remain as long as twelve years in the
intestine, consuming the blood of the
patient, and lowering his resistance to
other diseases which are liable to at
tack him in the anemic state in which
hookworm eventually leaves him.
tuberculosis, typhoid, disenteries and
certain other infectious diseases have .
distinct relation to hOokWOrm, because
they can readily occur where a patient
is left in a weakened state by the ,at'er
By a rigid campaign for the elimination
of the hookworm disease, the incidence
of these other diseases will naturally
be lowered
The second mode of transmission OF
the disease is by means 6f vegetables and
fruits that are consumed in their raw
state, this on account Of the use Of
excreta as a fertilizing agent, or due to
voluntary soil pollution a criminal act.
The third mode of transmission is
through contaminated water due to see
page from polluted areas into water con
tainers not imperviOus to moisture. In
fected water, therefore, bears full rela-
ton to pulluted soils.
The fourth mode of transmission is by
unclean hands which careless persons are
prone to use in the handling of food with
out due precaution to washing after the
elimination of waste from the human
system.
Promiscuous defecation must be entire
ly discouraged to assist in the prevention
of hookworm disease. as this medium is
one OF primary importance due to the
p~reponderance of cases that are affected
thereby. A pr~ecaution against infection
from this source is the wearing of shoes,
but more potent in the elimination of the
disease would be the general adoption
of soil cleanliness by the maintenance OF
l~atrines for the proper disposal of human
waste. Vegetables and fruits should be

To the Editor of theSt. Crojn Auis,

To the Editor of tbeSt. Crojr AUi8,
Dear Sir:
All The last meeting of the Colonial
Council some of the members reiterated
that it was un American to have an Ordi.
nance requiring physical examination of
persons entering St. CroiX for the pur-
pose Of seeking labor, or employment.
What about the immigrants from all parts
of Europe Who are so riRidly overhauled
at Ellis Island by the doctors and other
functiOnaries authorized for that purpose?
Has this practice been discontinued? And
whose is, Ellis Island outside of New
York barbour and who are the doctors
and functionaries who do the overhaul
ing. And where is the disgrace" in hav-
ing such a useful law passed in St. Croix.
And further, has this law been revised in
Porto Rico ?
When | went there several years ago.,
! was overhauled on the S.. S. "Prasi-
dent by doctor S. B.. Grubbs, if even
for trachoma. it was a rigid overhau!ing.
And when the doctor, after staring me
carefully in the eyes, or at my eye. lids,
said alright, did | not feel glad to
know ] was in conformity with the law"
of Porto Rico where | went to look for
employment. No, it is not such a ''6is-
grace DIS SUtu6 may hastily lDlDh, 1OE
may ] ask; who having that keen sense,
of being IN good health, would not be
satisfied, or feel justified to be told when
something is wrong with him, and proba-
bly, at an early time when that aiiment
could be cured and the patient restored
to good health once more. 1t is not death
that we should be afraid of, but the long,
or lingering" as the newspapers often
"cruelly" term it, before death, that
should thoughtfully urge US to cheerfully
comply with this wise law.
We could not have, or would not find
any better laborer for St. croix than the
Portoricans, they are peaceful and hon
est laborers, they need no bullying to do
their work and if they feel contented
with their treatment, no law as the one
pending will keep, or drive tt EN- away
from Santa Cruz, as they should call the
island, the majority will laugh at it, as
they may never be found with any in
fectious ailment and they are not so very
simple. minded as not to know it is meant
for their good.

Mr.. and Mrs. Alva Gay, their son,

"Stop Thief, presented by the Amer
lean Legion Friday evening.
Mrs. Walter T. Thomson of Mime
apolis, is ill in a hospital there with
pneumonia and a growth back of her
ear. She was taken to the hospital
Friday. Her sister, Miss Ruth Jen-
sen, went down from here Saturday
to help with the homework and be
with her after weeks visit at homes
Her mother, Mrs. A. p. Jensen, was
called down Monday. A telephone
call Tuesday evening was to the eff
feet that the patient was quite sick
but that she was holding her own.
Attorney P. S. Olsen of Mora, gave
a very good talk before the Parent
Teachers Association at the local
school house last Thursday evening
on laws pertaining to youth, the pre-
vailing crime, it's causes, etc. He
stated that the average age of GRIM
inals is coming down and that crime
in all ages is on the increase 1t is
generally thought that crime centers
mostly in the larger cities but in Min
nesota there is about 1000 boys and
girls in correctional institutions so
there is some of it in the country dis
tricts also. Crime in the United
States directly and indirectly runs up
~ 11or
which is more than is spent for
schools and churches, said the speak
er. Speaking about public dance
halls Mr.. Olsen quoted Chief of Police
Jansen of Milwaukee who has said
that the downfall of girls-S0 per cent
of it in that city, is caused by the
public dance. In New York it is IS
per cent, and other figures were given.
The Minnesota state law in regard to
public dance halls is that no minors
under 16 years are permitted at pub
lie dances unless accompanied by par
ent or guardian. Between the ages
of 16 and Is minors are permitted at
public dances only when accompanied
by chaperone or permit of parent.
Cigarette smoking, which Mr.. Olsen
said is most injurious to the growing
youth, is prohibited by minors under
10 if out of school, if in school until
| the age of 81. Two of the remedies
he suggested are the Boy Scouts and
bible classes, stating that an influence
goes out from the bible that no other
book can give. There were songs
by the high school girls chorus and
the boys quartette which were well
received by the audience. Miss Ror-
Wig, high school principal, has inter-
ested herself in getting these young
folks started in singing.

stop Thief" was presented under
auspices of the American Legion by
home talent to a full house at the
D. B. S. hall Friday evening. The
play was very well presented and this
reflects much credit on Mrs. c. M
Nelson, the instructor, who coached
the players along very well through
hard grind of rehearsals and had
it presented without a hitch. Mrs
Nelson has considerable ability along
this line. The leading role was
played by Thorvald S. Jensen as Jack
Doogan, the thief, and he was GER
tainly clever in squeezing out of many
tight holes much to the amusement
of the audience. He also had a good
helpmate in Miss Astrid Gravesen as
Nell, the maid at the Carr mansion
She was extremely alert and acted
the part very we'll. Walter Petersen
as DR.. Willoughby, and c. M. Nelson
as James Cluney, the kleptomaniac
were also good, the bride was very
pretty, the minister almost a scream
and in general the play was well pre-
scented by the various actors which
time and space will not permit de-
tailed mention of. The play was a
comic from start to finish and the
audience had many hearty laughs.

THANK YOU!

Our coming back to Askov has been
a joyful experience. Friends and
neighbors have made it so. They
have extended the hand of welcome
to us in more ways than one. Long
before we came they began to busy
themselves fixing up the house. Some
hauled out material over bad roads,.
Others did something else. Some sent
men in place of themselves and paid
them for it. How can we show our
appreciation of all this goodness? AT
the present time we can only assure
these people that we are extremely
grateful and full of thanks. You
have made our coming home to Askov
a joyful experience. Also do we thank
the many who "surprised", us the
other evening and who deposited
chickens in our chicken house. No
one told me anything about chickens
so 1 could not say "thank you" then.
