Dairy Health Film Is
Retired to Shelf by u. S.

Washington, D. C-"Out Of the
Shadows" an agricultural film depict
ing the dangers Of tuberculosis to
cows, has gone the way of many other
old pictures produced by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. After nine years
Of service in the fight against bovine
tuberculosis, the film has been laid on
the shelf.
The last remaining copy of the AZ
put into circulation has been with
drawn because it is battered, "rainy,"
and full Of sprocket holes. AS it has
done it's work, no more copies will be
printed.
No other film produced by the Agri-
culture department has made record
approaching that of "Out of the
Shadows" 1t has been used in every
fight against tuberculosis since 1921,
and has been shown in almost every
rural community in the United States
where dairy cattle are important. The
AZ copies put into circulation have
been sent into the field 1914 times.
Sixty-one copies of this film have
been sold for use in foreign countries,
including Uruguay, Belgium, Guate-
mala, the Union Of South Africa, and
Great Britain.
"Out of the Shadows" told the story
of a hard-headed old dairyman to
whom the tuberculin test was ''new-
tangled idea until his daughter was
sent to hospital for tubercular treat
ment. A test showed her pet COW, the
source of the milk she drank, reacted
to the test. The dairyman learns his
lesson, the daughter comes home well
and strong again, and every one is
happy. The film was acted by anna
teurs, but it proved to be of great
effect in field work.

U. S. TAKES STEPS TO
AID PRISON HEALTH
Plan Close Scrutiny of Penal
Institutions.

Washington, D. C.-What is believed
to be the most extensive effort ever
made to apply the latest approved
findings of modern medical science to
treatment of 10th human physical and
mental ills is being undertaken this
year by the United States public
health service in the federal penal in
situations.
Under authority Of an act Of con-
gress signed recently by President
Hoover, the health service is grad
ually taking over supervision of the
health and mental problems Of the
$4,000 men and women prisoners in
federal institutions. Prisoners at
Leavenworth and Atlanta penitentia-
ries and at the Anderson wv. Va.) wom-
ans prison have already been placed
in charge of health service physl-
clans.
Study Mental Ailments.
Emphasis is placed by the health
service program on the mental we'll
being of prisoners as we'll as on their
purely physical disorders. 1t is hoped
through careful treatment under mod
ern psychiatric methods to restore
many prisoners to useful citizenship.
Progress is being made meanwhile
on construction of two narcotic farms
where drug addicts, comprising one
third Of the federal prison population,
can be segregated from other prison
ers. Selection of site near Lexing-
ton, KY, has been announced for one
of the farms and second is to be
built in the West.
Federal prisoners hereafter will be
given a painstaking examination when
they are committed to discover their
physical condition and also what kinks
in their mentality or character are re-
sponsible for their having chosen a
career Of crime. In the case of first
offenders, or those who are regarded
as promising subjects for treatment,
expert psychiatric care will be pro-
vided to aid them in rehabilitating
themselves.
Flan OUTSIDE AIo
The program will not end when the
prison door clangs behind the prison
er. In most sections of the country
a combined probation and parole of
ficer will be available to aid those
released to overcome the handicap of
their prison record.
New probation officers are now be-
ing appointed throughout the country
under an expanded appropriation of
S175,000 voted by congress at the last
session. The Justice department ex-
poets to have 81 such officers on duty
by November 1. At present there are
only Is probation officers and no pa
role officers in the federal prison sys-
tenn.
Treatment of prisoners in this way
and expansion of the parole system
Is part of the general federal pris-
On program adopted by Sanford Bates,
federal superintendent of prisons
the government is pro-
ceeding with 100000 prison-build-
ing program expected to aid greatly
in relieving present congestion in fed
eral prisons.

CURB FOREST FIRES
IN GUARDED AREAS
Patrolled Districts Saved as
Others Are Swept.

Washington. = With approximately
31,OOO,0O0 additional acres Of land
brought under some form of organ
lied forest-fire protection last year,
losses on protected areas in the United
States are held to a fraction of those
on unprotected lands, according to a
report recently completed by the for
est service of the Agriculture depart
ment.
OF 134,S95 forest fires reported last
year, 44,076 were on protected lands
and 9O,S19 were on areas without or
gained protection. Careless smokers
accounted for the greatest number of
fires, there being p per cent of blazes
on protected lands started in this man
ner.
While 1929 was a bad year for acre
age burned, it was noted that almost
80 per cent of all fires were recorded
on unprotected lands. Total acreage
burned on protected areas was 1885,
800, as compared with 41,353,OOO
acres lost on unprotected land.
These states hardest hit by forest
fires in 1929 were in the southeastern
and gulf regions. The percentage of
fires recorded in these areas was 1873
per cent of the total number report
ed in the United States. While the
southeastern states had the highest
percentage of fires recorded, they were
able to keep the number Of fires on
protected areas down to per cent Of
the total. The gulf states held the
burned area to 4 per cent.
