HEALTH UNITS
PAY RETURNS
Full Time Services Main
tanned In 467 Counties
Of u. S.

Full time county health servire
paws returns of from 100 to 5000
per cent on the sums invested in
the 467 counties of the United
States where it is maintained, says
a statement just issued by the
United States public health service
Cameron and Hidalgo counties
both maintain full time health
service.
The statement said:
There are in the United States
about $500 counties or districts
comparable to counties wholly or
in considerable part rural to which
local health service under the direc-
ton of whole-time county or local
district health officers Is applicable
and in which such service would be
highly advantageous. The number
Of these units of population in
which such service was in opera
ton at the beginning of the year
1929 was ACT as against Ala at the
beginning of the year 1928.
Experience indicates that the
best foundations for rural service
in the United States is the county
health department under the direc-
ton of a qualified whole-time coun-
ty health officer. 1t becomes more
and more evident to those concerned
with practical experience in The
public health field that agencies
concerned with the promotion OF
specialized health activities, such
as typhoid fever prevention, hook
worm control, tuberculosis preven-
ton, malaria control, venerial dis
ease prevention, o child and ma
ternity hygiene can perform most
effectively and economically by COM
bining their specific activities i'll
with and making them a part Of a
well balanced comprehensive pro-
gram of local official health Serv-
ice under the immediate direction
Of qualified whole time local health
officers.
Efficient Well-balanced whole
time rural health service through
out the United States would cost
about $40, 900 900 a year. Apart from
loss Of human life, human health
and human happiness, u national
economic loss annually in wage
earnings and other items incident
to preventable sickness because Of
lack of reasonably efficient county
health service is estimated at over
n billion dollars. Money invested
for well directed whole time county
health service yields to the average
local tax-paying citizen an annus,
dividend in dollars and cents rang
ing under different local condition
from 100 to 5000 per cent.
THE practical value of pervious-
ly organized whole time county
health units in times of disaster
was remarkably demonstrated in
the flood in the Mississippi Valley
in 1927.
"All evidence Obtained in the
course Of prolonged studies Of the
subject supports the claim that the
dollar invested for well-directed
comprehensive whole time county
health service yields to the public
welfare more than any other dol
lar obtainable by taxation Of the
people can be made to yield in nor
NAL times.

Destroyer of Empires.
(Cincinnati Ennuirer. )

Cincinnati EnqurerO
 England has awakened to realization of the fact that of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was malaria, not the succeeding hosts of barbarian attackers of the might of that sovereignty These nvasions were incidental The real enemy and final destroyer of the most stu pendous of earthly powers the invisible maaral microbe which not only destroyed innumerabe lives but kept whole populations of countries at a low ebb of vitality and efficiency And still does so. Britain the danger and is moving to meet it. Vast tracts of land are closed by this menace which otherwise would be habitabe and productive.
 The disclosures of recent survey expeditions in India and Ceylon prove that the Empire must take steps to combat this or see its power broken.
 These surveys show that two-thirds of Ceyon is uninhabited and uninhabtable mainly because of malaria. According to the Manchester Guardian in Bengal populous towns are reduced to the status of feverstrcken villages and stately mansions have as their sole inhabitants the wild pig and leopard In one town, according to this authority malaria has in a few years reduced the population from o0000 to 2,300!
 Of course the chief remedy is an administrative one. American scientists have shown what may be done in this respect. The names of Gorgas and Wood and Nogichuci will live forever But much re- mains to be done There still remains vast tracts m the United States which endure under the men ace Of the malaria germ They will be redeemed as all of England's harrassed territories shall be re- ieemed. But the facts here indicated show that here are other things than war which need the concentrated antagonism of the race of humankind. rom purely economic point of view the effects United States must fight this thing We need new una numerous laboratories and armies of trained nen ana women to fight the mosquito and the menace represented in the destroyer of empires

AUTO ROAD TO THE STATES.

The nronosal for an automobile road through Alaska Yukon Territory and British Columbia tt connect with the road systems of the United States and Canada has struck the popular fancy, ant newspapers and magazines are giving much space to it. Quite a lot has been written on the sub ject in Eastern as well as Pacific Coast pubhca tions. One of the latest editorials on it was thu following under the heading, "The Salmon Trail, from the New York Times of July 28:
 Perhaps no such name will be given to @ the California Alaska highway. "The Trop- ical-Polar Highway" may finally be chosen. But the question will have to be settled soon for Southern California is all excited over the impending completion of a great motor road which will stretch from the Mexican border to the shores of Boring Sea Only 750 miles are yet to be built of the total of 4000; and while some parts of the United States might think 750 miles a considerable distance in the broad vision of the Far West it is dealt with a link"
 Los Angeles business men have already arranged to run up" to Alaska in ad vance of the completion of the highway to arrange for. trading facilities. Assistant Secretary Sawyer of the Department of the Interior has been telling them about the succulency of reindeer steaks, and the palates are being prmed for fresh daily shipments.
 There are already seventy-one landing fields in Alaska and these-plus the new highway-are expected to make it possible for Alaskans to be munching fresh Cali fornia oranges while in Los Angeles the citizens feast on reindeer steaks. In any other region in any past age, all this would seem like of the ideas which engaged the energies of Colonel Mulberry Sellers. But it would not be safe to make this suggestion to those building that little link of 750 miles.
