More Throat Diseases
Due to Dust Storms

By DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
As great clouds Of dust we're blown across the prairies
last spring, people began to wonder what the effect
would be on their lives and health.
DIR. Earle @. Brown. health officer Of Kansas. has
MADE an analysis OF the effects OF this dust. which
should be OF interest to everyone who suffered its
depredations.
1t is interesting to know that in some instances
the aust blew as high as 10000 and 5000 feet. affect
ing aviators, and that its intensity and duration were
beyond anything ever experienced before. Great
damage was done 10 homes. livestock. and crops.
Health authorities decided first Of all 10 investigate
the amount Of bacteria in the dust and also to study
its chemistry. since these factors are necessary to de-
termine It's effects on health.
Il was found that the germs predominating In the
dust we're those usually found in soil. and of little i'm
portance in relation to causes Of disease.
In a~nalyzing the incidence OF disease in association
with the dust storms. however, some interesting con-
illusions developed.
There was a definite increase in the amount Of i'll
ness and In the number Of deaths from disease affect
ing the breathing tract. Thus In Kansas. in the last
five months. there has been the most severe epidemic
Of measles in its history. including more than 10000
cases as compared with the previous high total Of
22.464 cases during 1917.
Many health officers reported SO to 100 per cent in
crease in the number OF cases or pneumonia and or
bronchitis, and there were also reports Of increased
infections Of sinuses and the throat.
Hospitals reported an increased number Of infec-
tons Of nose, throat, and lungs Since the germs we're
not found In the dust. however. II is reasonable to be-
leve that effects Of the dust we're largely irritation
and damage to the tissues. permitting germs already
present to bring about infection.

to be ended, as soon as means are
developed for reaching him and
bringing him safely to civilization.
1T was my thought that I would
interrupt my own plans and go into
the Trio country on a rescue expe-
dition. I find that it Is impossible,
however, for me to undertake such
an expedition until after April. In
order that there will be no thought
by any member of the Redfern fam
lily that details which have thus far
not been given out have been or are
being withheld for selfish purposes, I
am herewith releasing details so that
any one else who may be interested
in undertaking an expedition in the
meanwhile can do so.
I'm stating to the chief Of the
foreign administration department of
the Governcoent my inability per-
sonally to lead SUCH an expedition
until after May /, have suggested
that the State Department secure
the services, instead, of an experi-
enced air-eXploration officer, VINO, to
my knowledge, can conduct the exps
dition with safety and dispatch by

now stationed at France Field, Canal

Gables came through to La Varre
yesterday confirming Taylor's desire
to start on the rescue expedition. The
State Department has approved the
plan and the government Of Dutch
Guiana has signified its intention to

The story of the baby's birth was

Tuesday after her husband had lifted
her from the deep well into which

bling" permitted in Prince Georges
County and may appeal to Gov. Nice
for action If the county authorities
remain indifferent much longer, an
editorial in the Diamondback, student
weekly, discloses.
Text of Editorial.
The paper said:
THE fame of Jimmy's place has
spread not only throughout this
vicinity, but over the entire country.
1t is probably one Of the worst har-
bingers of crime In this section of the
United States. The most deplorable
fact about these conditions, however,
lies in the fact that the police author
tiles are said to know exactly what is
going on.
"The University Of Maryland Is the
most important institution in this
county. When conditions become Sc
bad that the students of the school
become affected by them. then it is
high time for action.
Many Complaints Received.
"This isn't the only indictment
against the local authorities. Since
the publication of an editorial which
appeared in the September 80 issue
Of the Diamondback, complaints
against the county police have been
received in great numbers.
IF the Prince Georges County po-
lice refuse 70 do their duty, then must
the students and the residents Of
the community appeal to the Gov
ernor for assistance"

SECURITY WAGES
INCREASED TO$45.
Montgomery and Prince
Georges Change Coincident
With Cumberland Strike.

The Governments security wage"
for Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties has been raised from $32 to
$45 month, it was learned today, as
laborers on Works Progress Admins
tration projects in Cumberland went
on strike.
The new rate for the two adjoining
Maryland counties goes into effect i'm
mediately and is the same paid in the
District of Columbia. No changes
were made in the total number of
hours required of workers on projects
in Montgomery and Prince Georges
and it remains at 140. or 40 more than
required of w. P. A. workers in the
District.
Confirmed by Dryden.
Francis H. Dryden, State w. P. A.
administrator, confirmed the new
schedule shortly before noon. He said
he did not regard the action as con-
stituting wage increase" but mere
ly raise in monthly security pay
mentS."
The boost in monthly payments fol-
lows silent strike last week at Sun
nyside, when only of IS men re-
ported for work there but Dryden de-
MED today that the raise was a result
of the strike"
He explained that the law de-
scribes the metropolitan area, which,
he said, includes Prince Georges and
Montgomery, and that the rate for
the metropolitan area was $45.
Origin of Trouble.
Dissatisfaction among relief work.
ers first arose to widespread propor-
tions when it was learned that laborers
on the Resettlement Administrations
low-cost housing project at Berwyn
Heights were being paid s45 a month.
At the time this was explained as
being a Washington project and
carried with it the Washington scale.
Meanwhile Dryden said the situa-
tion in Cumberland would be worked
out satisfactorily.

Three w. p. A. Projects at StandstiII

CUMBERLAND Md, October %
N).-Work was at standstill on two
OF the three w, P A. projects here
today as labor officials called a walk
out in protest against wages paid
w. P. A. workers.
Unofficial observers reported a few
men at work on the third project, the
Beford road sewer job, during the
forenoon.
There was no activity on the North
Center street paving job, largest of
the three, or on the sewer project in
the Lindnerville suburban section.
Municipal officials offered to put
city employes-paid at the 50-cents-
an-hour rate-on the job. Labor Of
ficialS objected to this on the grounds
that it might reduce the effectiveness
of the walkout.
Labor leaders asked that the work
ing hours be reduced from 12O a
month to 80 a month. Asserting the
minimum w. P. A. wage rate was 28.6
cents an hour, they asked that the
50-cents-an-hour rate established by
law for the city be made effective.
In Baltimore, Joseph P. McCurdy,
president of the Maryland District OF
Columbia Federation of Labor, as
serted that. If this situation in West
