WHO'S REspoNs1R1r AND wHY2

Answering the questions. who is
responsible for reporting the occur
renee of any of the catching diseas-
es, such as whooping cough, scarlet
fever, typhoid, etc. to the State De-
partment of Health and why?" DR.
r. Fl. Riley, Chief of the Bureau Of
Communicable Diseases said" AS
matter of fact everybody is respon
sible. If a physician is in attend
ance it is expected that he will give
notice Immediately, according to the
regulations of the State Board of
Health, in writing, to the health OF
nicer of the city, town or distcict in
which the sickness occurs. or will
send his notice directly to the State
Department of Health.
But the responsibility does not
end there. 1t is just as much the
parents or guardians, householders,
hotel keepers, keeper of boarding
houses, superintendent of institu-
tions, principals of schools, public,
private or parochial, masters of ves-
sells, midwives, public health nurses,
or even of the owners or others in
charge of diaries or ice-cream manu-
featuring or distributing plants, to
notify the nearest health officer of
each actual or suspected case of a
catching disease that comes under
his observation.
Zone of the great stumbling
blocks in the way of the control of
these diseases that spread from child
to child or from grown-up to grown
up, is what the health officer calls
the missed case-the case that isn't
reported and that may spread like
prairie fire to all who come in con-
tact with the person who is ill.
There are forty-six diseases or
the list that should be reported
promptly to the State Department OF
Health. They include all of the so
allied children's diseases as we'll as
those to which grownups are more
susceptible, among them measles
humps, diphtheria, whooping cough,
scarlet fever, infantile paralysis, In
fiuenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
typhoid, malaria; all forms of the
venereal diseases; certain diseases
of the eye; and in addition certain
other special diseases that must
have immediate treatment if life is
to be saved-such as lockjaw, ane
rabies or hydrophobia.
Answering the second part of the
question: Why the disease mast be
reported. The State Department of
Health is a department of public
safety-much like the fire depart.
ment. Immediate reporting of .
catching disease is asked for in or
Ter that activities may be g9tt-n IN
Ter way that will first of all ccfo-
guard the person who is III. and 600

from spreading to the rest OF ne

Cousin Meets Cousin

The woman was visiting at a home
where two little cousins were meet
ing for the first time. The visiting
cousin from the West had never met
any Of her relations before, and the
mothers of both little girls were anx-
ious that the afternoon should pass
off smoothly.
They drank their tea and contribut-
ed to the general conversation with
half an ear for sounds of strife that
might, they were afraid, issue from
the nursery.
All was serene, however, and when
II was finally time for the guests to
leave and the children were called
from their play, Jean ran down hap
PLY to her mother and said: Mother,
Helen wasn't at all like a cousin; she
was just like a friend !"-New York

RECKLESS AUTO DRIVING

Newspapers and individuals in a
number of communities are turning
the guns of criticism on the reckless
automobile driver. In a few OF the
larger cities the police have deemed
it necessary in the interest OF public
safety to adopt stern methods In
treating the reckless driver
Reckless driving does not consist
of exceeding statutory speed limit.
In fact, those charged with the en-
forcement of traffic rules separate
speeders into classes and concern
themselves with only the one.
Acts of reckless driving consider
ed especially Objectionable are drlv-
ing on the wrong side OF the road at
curves, and hills, fast driving at
street end road intersection, crowd
ing other cars on any thoroughfare,
passing the car ahead at points
where there is no sAfety zone, ex-
~essive speed in heavy traffic and
passing the car ahead at points
where the road is concealed from the
drivers views and where such pas
sing is made hazardous by tralhc
congestion.
The reckless driver is as great
menace to the careful motorlst as to
the careful pedestrian and both are
equally anxious to make the high
ways safe for themselves.

POETIC FANCY IN
LEGEND OF LENIN
Holu Soviet Leader Earned
Loue of Allah.

Among the many legends concern
already incorporated in the popular
mythology of the Moslem inhabitants
of the soviet union is one passing
from mouth to mouth in Turkestan in
the form of song and summarized
as follows by Lenoid Solovief, Rus
sian writer who spedalizes in collect
ing Lenin stories, according to the
New York Times:
The World war was raging and
thousands were being slain because
the kings of the earth wanted to fill
their treasures and were forcing
their subjects to go to the front and
kill each other. The stencil of the
fallen men and the noise Of the con-
flict rose to high heaven and annoyed
Allah himself, who concluded 1t was
time to call together his most faithful
followers and select one wise and
strong enough to end all this misery.
In order to find the best man for
the job, Allah set up double test. His
over huge rock weighing 60 po0ds
(about tony and to give the correct
answer to the following riddle: "Who
is the strongest on earth, who Is the
happiest, and who is the weakest and
most unhappy"
There were many candidates for the
glorious mandate, but none was able
to turn over the rock, although they
tried so hard that the stone soon bore
traces of their fingers. Neither could
anyone solve the riddle, despite the
variety of answers, most of which
made Allah the strongest and happi-
est and Satan the weakest and most
unhappy. Finally, Allah noticed a
man of slight figure but with a very
high forehead looking intently at the
big rock Maybe this little fellow can
do 1t. thought the Most High.
When the last candidate threw off
his coat and stood revealed in all his
physical weakness, Allah's heart sank.
But what was his surprise to see the
man walk away from the rock and re-
turn in a few minutes with several
beams of wood. One of these he
showed under the big stone. Then an
other was placed under the free end
of the first, and by means Of this i'm
provised lever the rock was easily
turned over. revealing the poisonous
serpent Ok-Ilen, whose tail, weighing
100 pounds, had helped hold the stone
down.
Then the little champion answered
Allah's riddle as follows: 1.-THE strong
est Is the most intelligent, who wins
every ones love; the happiest is the
most honorable, who gives happiness
to many; the most unhappy and the
weakest is the man beloved by no
body"
Allah saw how wonderful was the
talent of this man. So he lifted him
up into heaven, where he spent so
days and so nights learning the wis
dom of the Most Hieh Thus equipped
the successful candidate was named
Lenin and sent back to earth. Lenin
strobe over the earth and stopped the
stream of blood. He brought happi-
ness to humanity. Then he returned
to rest in Allah's halls. He left the
world pacified and happy His name
shall endure while the word "happi-
ness" lives.
So runs the legend

Those people who think, because

against the measure approprlat1ng

accorded against the appropriation.
2. Mark Sullivan notes that when

against prohibition, to which he had
devoted several months OF earnest
study and work. there were never
more than six senators in the cham'

the time only one, Morris Sheppard,
the prohibition leader. He was evil
