MAN STILL

A st. Louis man has just learned that
the old common law presumption that a
man is responsible for the acts of his wife
can still be invoked.
A st. Louis relief worker went to call on
a family which had been on relief for some
time, and an argument developed. Husband
and wife began calling her names, and be-
fore long the wife got angry enough to sail
in and start c~louting her on the head.
Presently the husband and the wife were
arraigned in court. The judge refused to
send the wife to jail, because she had four
children to look after; instead. he gave the
husband a 60-day term, although the hus-
band had not lifted his hand during the
set-to.
Here is an old-but-new slant on the
ancient question Of husbandly responsible
ty which. if generally adopted. might give
a good many husbands food for sober re

Those who like to play around with
figures and delve into the mysteries Of
statistics have been puzzled in the past
as they approached the census figures
made available for this section soon after
the taking of the 1880 census. But now
the mystery appears to be solved.
None of US who are familiar with the
Valley have been able to reconcile the
figures appertaining to farms with the
figures giving the total population of the
Valley counties. Willacy county, for in
| stance, in the 1880 census was credited
4 with but s14 farms. and we have all won
dered where the people of the county
lived. For after taking into consideration
the population figures accorded the towns
and cities of the county. there still re-
NAMED a discrepancy, or else Willacy
county farms were populated by a most
prolific set Of people.
1t now appears. from figures released
Tuesday by William d. Miles. farm census
supervisor for this district. that Willacy
county has 1888 farms within its confines.

N of Willacy, Hidalgo and Cameron will
prove out to have approximately $4,000
farms as against the 7.071 farms an
nounced by the 1880 census.
Admitting that there has been some IN
crease in the number Of farms in these
counties, it still appears that the census
of 1880 was woefully inaccurate. Doubt
less many Of the larger farming opera
tons have been broken up in the past few
years and cut into smaller tracts and are
now operated by several persons where
one was the nominal manager or farmer
before. But it still appears that the CEN

And census figures should be accurate.

Whooping Cough Mow
Trapped on Plate
BY DIR. ORR FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and OF Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Modern parents need worry no longer about the
presence Of whooping cough among their children.
for means have been devised by which this type Of
cough can be discovered almost as soon as 1t Is
suspected.
The new method Is the so-called cough plate"
method. This Is based on the established fact that
whooping cough Is associated with the presence Of
a special germ in the throat.
BY the cough plate" method. the child is asked
to cough directly on Q little saucer known 8 . cul-
ture plate. which contains a substance on which the
germs can grow. When the germs grow, they are
studied under the microscope and diagnosis OF the
condition Is made on the basis OF what Is seen.
In fact. the diagnosis Is now made frequently from
this study Of the germs before the Characteristic
cough actually develops.
IN some communities the child who Is suspected Of
having whooping cough Is kept isolated until the
diagnosis is definitely made and a warning placard
Is put on the house. Thirty-five days after the
Characteristic cough appears, the child can be re
leased.
II. however. the material on the cough plates Is
studied regularly, patients are released from isola-
ton 20 days after the onset OF the disease. provided
two consecutive cough plates taken "a hours apart
are found to be free from germs. This. Of course,
Is exceedingly important. because 1t shortens the
time OF isolation and quarantine.
Another interesting measure is the making OF q
vaccine out OF the germs found on the cough plate.
The vaccine consists OF the dead bodies Of these
germs suitably treated with antiseptics and studied
to make certain that there are no living germs re-
naming. When this is injected into the body. the
body builds up substances which resist the infec-
ton.
Use OF these vaccines seems to indicate that II Is
possible to shorten the attack Of whooping cough
and also to prevent the attack. provided the vaccine
is given sufficiently early to those who have been In
contact with patients with this disease.
