fective method of enforcing proper
santa ton in the sale or preparation

is chairman, Is to be sent to the health
officers in 81 of the larger cities from
coast to coast, asking data as to
methods, cost and effectiveness of
health inspections.
With the compilation of the returns
it is expected the committee will an.
ply the experiences of other cities to
washington and may recommend
some new form of enforcing maximum
sanitation mere IN food handling.
Questions Submitted.
The QUESTIONABLE asks the health
officers of the 81 cities if their inspec.
tons. ratings and authority apply to
the following classes of food business:
Amusement park boothes, eating

seafood and shellfish dealers. frI,it
stands, grocery and meat stores. mar.
kets and delicatessen shops, poultry
dealers. railroad and steamship resta,I.
rant facilities, soft drink parlors and
warehouses and food storage places.
The questionable asks data con.
corning the cost of rating systems for
such food-handling places, facilities
TOR CHASING in or screening foods in
eating places. the length of time re-.
quired for effective inspections. the
number of inspectors necessary for
such work, the frequency of inspec-
tons, methods employed in In.
spections for rating of food shops.
the attitude of the public and of the
propfletors of eating places of the
scoring system. whether such cities
make use of the licensing system. and
many other points concerning santa.
tion work of these cities.
Two important points of the ones.
tionnaire are the following:
What ordinances, rules or regula.
tions have You respecting the protec-
ton, screening, CHASING in or housing
OF foods from dust, flies, reaches. yer.
min and contamination, and to what
extent have you been able legally to
inforce same?
Physical Inspections.
DO you require physical inspection
OF lunchroom employees or food han
dlers in any food business? If so. how
is this requirement carried out in ac-
tual practice and what are your min.
tmum requirements as to health
standards for such employees? Who
pays for the medical examinations
and how is the system working out
in practice?"

RADENTON, Fla. April l.
- The Philadelphia Nationals
have been consigned to eighth
L. place again by the Florida
wise men. 1t is no more
pleasant to be relegated to eighth
place than 1t is to be worm. Some
day the Phillies may burst forth as
a gaudy and gorgeous butterfiy--but
while all things can happen in base
ball, the Phillies are not likely to
aviate along those lines this Summer,
When Stuffy McInnis took the task
of managing the Phillies, he little
realized what 1t meant to manage q
major league ball club. Stuffy Thought
some part of the task was like that
of becoming a cheer leader, position
which he assumed for the Pittsburgh
Pirates in 1925. That was in the dark
days when Washington seemed likely
to lick the Pirates in the world series
Stuify Was Cheer Leader.
Stuffy was appointed cheer leader
and John J. McGraw was his assistant
or maybe it was the other way
around Anyway, Pittsburgh won.
Bill McKechnie, then manager. said
he was tickled to death to prove to
the world that the Pirates were not
yellow and that they could come from
behind and win. A lot of folks who
loved Bill, but didn't love his way OF
managing a ball club, credited the
victory to McInnis and McGraw. and
left Bill holding the bag. Now Bill
doesn't hold the bag for Pittsburgh
any more, but he restraints the goat
for the st. Louis Cardinals.

year, but he doesn't seem to banker
