NEW YORK. Aug. gait IL fair
to say that hookworrn disease has
now almost disappeared from the
United stateg and is rapidly under
control in many other parts Of the
world. the International Health
Board OF the Rockefeller Founda-
tIon said yesterday in giving out 4
section Of the report OF its activities
Tor 1926 The full report win be
issued within q few days.
The great achievement" the
board continues. SIS not the social
and economic rehabilitation of the
more than six or seven million peo-
pie who have been treated for the
disease during the past ten or fiji
teen years. It Is the development
of administrative measures that will
prevent millions yet unborn from
ever suffering from its ravages.
The story Of malaria is unfold.
ing on somewhat similar lines. Con.
troll measures are preceded by field
research. In the United States 4
satisfactory method Of control was
developed for cities and areas with
a dense population OF high economic
status. But these methods could
not be applied in scattered rural
areas because Of the great per
capita cost.
Further archaeological and field
laboratory studies have indicated
that only one species. Of anophelins
mosquito Is responsible for malaria
in the Southern States and that tnia
species has a limited seasonal dis.
tribution and preferential breeding

Electric energy is widely used in
industry today. AS pointed out by
DR.. H. E. Fisher. 1t is the most
powerful and least understood
source of energy known to mankind.
In the infancy of the industry,
electrical injuries, including cleo
trio shock, electric flashes and
electric burns. were far more fire.
quent than at present. A large
number of accidents and deaths
are still attributable to careless
ness and to the light manner in
which the average person holds
the low voltage currents, such as
the 10 and 22o volt currents that
are used in the home and in the
shop. DR.. Fisher suggests three
aphorisms that should guide
everyone working with electric
apparatus:
Look upon all electrical ap-
paratus with awe and respect,
regardless of high or low voltage.
2-Look upon all people who
have become electrified and are
unconscious as alive. and treat
them by artificial respiration, re-
CARELESS of whether their shock
has been caused by high or .ow
voltage currents.
3-Encourage and cooperate
with everyone in trying to main
tain flicker of life in an electri-
| fed victim until suitable medical
attention can be given.
The most important step is, of
course. artificial respiration. Cases
are recorded in which sixteen
minutes of artificial respiration
were required after person had

in which artificial respiration had

persons have recovered from 1900

Madge In Dread IS Philip Veritzen
Seems 70 Draw Nearer Her

Seems 70 Draw nearer her
I had much food for troubled
thought during the rest OF our
journey home from the mountain
inn where Philip Neritzen had
staged our conference over the plans
which he had borught home from
Europe. Fortunately Lillian, on
whose presence I had insisted, COM
pretended my abstraction and
camouflaged it by keeping up SO
rapid and sparkling conversation
with her old friend, the great
theatrical producer. that he had lit
lie opportunity to observe my 81
lence.
1t was not the idea of Philip
md of the island which troubled
me. 1t was his statement that he
meant TO make the Bayside House
his home for the next few weeks,
coupled with his offhand announce
ment that he would need to consult
me frequently about the work.
There was something about the
whole thing which did not ring true.
Before my employer had sailed for
Europe We had discussed very fully
he work which / should do during
jhe Summer. and there had been a
very dcfinit, agreement that ]
.hould not come into the office s
luring the Summer. My offer TO
Eleanor Linccln to ask him down to
our section of the island had been
partly desire TO crafty the earnest
3esire of the stage-struck girl 10 see
him, and partly as punishment TO
Dicky for suggesting the visit.
I do not count myself vain
woman. but I could not help the de-
luction that the plans Mr.. Neritzen
had brought home even if he went
most infinitely into them with me,
lid not warrant the frequent con-
ferences which he evidently had in
mind. And I could not help remem-
boring Lillian's cryptic warning:
There's trouble enough ahead for
YOU with that lad without going out
Of your way to meet it."
Was 1t always thus, I wondered,
with women who went into the
professional world to cope with men
on their own ground-did the per
sonal equation inevitably creep in,

delicate matter Employees of
the electrical corporations do not
need to shut off the current. They
take off q coat or wrap and throw
it around the patients body SO
as to pull him away from the con-
tact in that manner. Employees
are told never to put their hands
near the pockets of an electrified
man nor near his shoes because
the presence of metal materials or
nails in the shoes will cause severe
shock to the rescuer.

oh, my. my, my, such a lot Of
excitement as there was on the
Green Meadows, Goodness me, you
never saw such excitement! Mrs.
Coyote had surprised the four chill
lren of Polly Chuck and Johnny
Chuck away from their home. and
hen Just as she was sure of catch
ing one or two of them she had
been discovered by Sammy Jay. and
Bowser the Hound had discovered
the scent of Old Man Coyote and
promptly had told all the Great
World Of the fact. The screaming
Of Sammy and the haying of Bowsor
had startled and hurried Mrs. Coy
ote so that she had missed her
lump at the fattcst of the young
Chucks. It hadn't seemed possible
that she could miss that Chuck, but
she had. That Chuck had been the
nearest. Also. he had been the near
est to the door of his home.
As that terrified young Chuck
scampered over his doorstep and
down out of sight brother and a
sister were right at his heels. Never
did three more frightened young
Chucks live, unless 1t was the fourth
one. who was still outside.
Now this Chuck was bold little
chuck, a venturesome little Chuck.
snd he had gone farther form home
than any of the others. SO when
Mrs. Coyote sprang at his fat broth
er she sprang right between this
venturesome little Chuck and his
home. But il this little Chuck was
bold and venturesome, he was also
smart. He was smart enough to re-
member what he had been taught
by his mother Polly Chuck. The m
slant Mrs. Coyote sprang. this little
chuck saw that he hadn't chance
20 get back some. He would nave
o 90 right straight past Mrs. Coy
ote, and of course he couldn't pos
.iblv do that. What was it Mother
chuck had said? When you have
no place to go. lie flat and freeze
That was it.
Instantly that little chuck flat
ened himself in tie midst OF the
sweet clover. Unless you have seen
Woodchuck flatten himself out you
have no idea how flat he can be. He
lust Rugged the ground, dld that
bold little Chuck. The grasses ana
clover leaves hung over him ana ne
didn't move. No, sir, he didn't move
a narticle. That was freezing. When
one of the feathered folk or fur
wearers keep perfectly still it is
said TO freeze" That simply means
that it is keeping Just as still as II
1t were frozen.
That little Chuck's heart was go
ing -thumpety-t hump"'y-
,hurnp. Never in all his life mad he
wanted TO run as he wanted 10 run
then. Somehow it seemed as if run
ming must be the only way OF get
ting away from danger. But he re-
membcred. and there he lay just as
il no life was in him.
Mrs. Coyote having missed tho
latest Young Chuck. looked hastily
this way and that for the other
Young Chucks. She saw two of
them scramble down the long hall
Of their home right at the heels of
the one she had so nearly caught;
There was a fourth; she was sure
