DANGER Turks IN EVERY
TICK INFESTED SECTION
Six Cases And One Death Re-
ported to State Department

Six cases of Rocky Mountain spot
ted fever, more Familiarity known as
tick bite fever, and one death, have
been reported to the State Depart
ment of Health since the first of June.
With these serving as reminder of
the danger that turks in every tick
infested area, DR.. R. H. Riley, Direc-
tor of the State Department of
Health, advises campers, mixers, fish
ermen, owners of camps or of shores,
and all others whose work or pleasure
takes them into sections where ticks
are likely to be found, to take all pos
sible precautions to protect them
selves against these potentially dan
gerous little pests, including the fol-
lowing:
1. Be careful in going through
tick-infested areas. Wear suitable
clothing.
2. Cut out and burn underground
and weeds; cut grass very short about
dwellings,, along paths and near bath
ing pools and shores.
3. Examine the body and clothing
for ticks, at least twice a day, if you
are on a hiking or camping trip, or
are employed in tick-infested area.
4. In this part of the country,
tick bite fever is spread mainly thru
the ordinary dog tick that attaches it
self to dogs, horses and cattle, as well
as to humans, Be very careful in re-
moving any ticks found on the person
or in taking them off of dogs or other
animals, not to crush the ticks be-
tween the fingers. The infectious,
disease-producing material carried by
the tick can be readily absorbed into
the system, through the slightest
break in the skin or if rubbed into the
eyes or up the nose. If the insect is
embedded in the skin use forceps or
wear gloves to withdraw it. Wash the
hands thoroughly with soap and water
after removing the ticks.
5. If ticks are very abundant near
permanent camps, the area and trails
around the settlement should be spray
ed with creosote oil. Field mice and
other small wild animals around homes
and camps should be destroyed.
"Tick bite fever is not the only dis
ease contracted through disease-bear-
ing ticks. Rabbit fever-tularemia-
which usually occurs during the hunt
ing season, is another tick-borne dis
ease. Fortunately not all ticks are in
fected, but it is better to consider all
of them as possible sources of danger,
and to take all possible precautions
against them.
Tick bite fever was first recog-
nized in Maryland in 1929. Since then
over 300 cases, with over 40 deaths,
have been reported in the State. The
majority of the cases have occurred
between May and September"

It's The Same Here
In Kansas they explain it this way:
'The men who do town more harm
than good may be classed as follows:
First, those who oppose improvements;
second, those who run it down to stran-
gers; third, those who never advertise
their business.
Fourth, those who distrust public
spirited men; fifth, those who show no
hospitality to anyone; sixth, those who
hate to see others prosper in business;
seventh, those who oppose every move
ment that doesn't originate with them
selves.
Eighth, those who put on long faces
when stranger speaks of locating in
their town; ninth, those who oppose
every public enterprise which does not
appear of personal benefit to them
selves.
And, tenth, those who know how to
run newspaper better than the edi-

PANAY FILM EMPHASIZES NERVE
CONTROL SHOWN BY VICTIMS

The reel showed several shots
of the Panay crew turning machine
guns skyward and letting loose
blast of bullets.
Several bombs are seen dropping
about the launches as they sped for
shore.
One shot showed a young officer
staggering along the deck giving Or
ders on the loading of wounded. His
bravery drew gasps of admiration.
He was forced to lean against a
gun several times to keep from
collapsing.
Another shot showed a well dress
ed civilian, apparently an English
man or American, abandoing
place of safety in patch of weeds
on shore to crawl to the side OF
a man, apparently dying, who
wanted some one to hold his hand.
All during the film, those unhurt
seemed more concerned in dressing
the wounds of others than they
were of their owns safety.

question of the prominence of the
American flag on the Panay. What
shots were taken aboard the Panay
during the attack and as the wound
ed were taken ashore before she
sank, were filmed in parts of the
craft where the flag would not be
shown. Those taken from a launch
and from the river bank just before
she sank were too indistinct, be-
cause of the distance, to disclose
the flag.
The film did disclose, however,
that the weather was fairly clear
at the time of the attack. The
Lighting was good and slight haze
in the sky seemed to be the only
obstruction.
One of the Standard Oil tank
ers which were sunk in the same
attack, clearly showed a large
American flag fluttering at the
stern.
Early footage of the reel were
taken aboard the Panay during the
early part of the attack. The bal

yors ashore, and from the banks of

lowed groups of survivors into a
Chinese village near the Yangtze,
and finally to Shanghai.
One graphic shot showed several
men swimming ashore from the
stricken vessel. Another showed a
casket, draped with an American
flag, being taken aboard an AM
erican batsleship at Shanghai from
a launch. .#=..
The film showed victims drop

they were wounded by the attack

Dispatches from Hankow, one of
the three so-called Chinese nation

"The central headquarters of the
