quently provided valuable informa-
ton in the treatment Of human dis.
orders. The common treatment for
hookworm is a case in point. AS a
result of research work in the pre-
vention of hookworms in dogs, more
than 100000 treatments of human
beings have been used effectively
since 1921 when the remedy was dis
covered.
The drug, carbon tetrachloride, de-
veloped for the purpose by the bu-
reau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
has been found tc be effective also
for the removal of various species
of parasites in other animals such
as horses, cats, and foxes. Carbon
tetrachloride is also used in practi-
cally all parts of the world for the
treatment of liver-fuke iDfestation
of sheep This condition alone re-
quires millions of treatments each
year.
Since discovering the treatment,
DR.. Maurice @. Hall. in cooperation
with DR.. ]. E. Shillinger, both of the
department, found that tetrachloreth-
ylene. similar chemical, was
safer drug for the expulsion Of hook
worms from small animals and for
that reason it has largely replaced
carbon tet-achloride for the treat
ment Of small animals in veterinary
practice, and is being used to an in
creasing extent for the treatment Of
human hookworm disease.

Thoroughly familiar with every last tree and

kept on the estate animals that can scent

through the place, is most unobtruSive man. He
knows his job well-and an integral part of his

There are telephones hidden among the trees
on the grounds The instruments are hooked up
to the direct wires that connect the mansion with
the local and State police, so that alarms can be
sent in either from the grounds or from within the

Finished Ten Years Ahead
of Scheduled Time.

By the Associated Press.
~ ALTIMORE, January 5.-A new
K nine-hole municipal golf course
is nearing completion, 10 years
ahead of time, because the work
gave employment to hundreds of other
wise jobless men of Baltimore.
Some 260 acres at Mount Pleasant
Park, purchased several years ago, was
overgrown with underbrush. 1t had
been dedicated as bird sanctuary, but
a golf course had been planned for con-
struction there for some time.
George Leroy Nichols, general super
intendent Of parks, said the course
could not have been constructed within
10 years because of the finances of the
park board had not the labor been fur
nished by the Emergency Work Bureau
cooperating with social agencies of the
city.
Nichols said from 400 to TOO have
been at work not only building the
course, but in clearing the entire park
of underbrush. If the bureau continues
TO furnish laborers, when the present
plans are completed an additional nine
holes will be added
The nlne-hole course will be ready
Tor use early next Summer.
