after three days Of examination OF

verdict of s'Not Guilty.
The Columbus Branch of NAACi

athe NAACP Of Columbus had to

Diagnosis Can Now Be Made With Certaint!

tinue to dance around or stop and
huddle together.
The commonest test for the blood,
however, is for the formed elements
the red and white blood cells-to
determine their number and ap-
pearaEce. The number of cells of
either kind is remarkably constant
in health among different people.
We say man looks plethoric, but
the number of his red cells is prob
ably the same as his emaciated
neighbor. The German physician
who first counted red cells said that
he himself had five million per cubic
millimeter in spite Of the fact that
II am pale and hungrv looking.
The apparatus for counting blood
cells is a masterpiece of delicate
work. The cells are dropped in a
chamber ruled off in fine lines that
can be seen only under the micro
scope. And the distance betweenthe
bottom Of the chamber and the cecil
ing" (which is formed by a glass
slide) is also exact. So that if the
observer counts all the cells in a
certain square he has an exact unit
and can estimate the number of cells
circulating all over the body.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
N. F.: "Some of my friends and
I have been having some arguments
lately about whether you need more
salt in summer than in winter. Is it
true that too much salt causes hard
ening Of the arteries and Bright's
disease?"
Answer: The cause of heat stroke
is probably loss of salt through per-
SEPARATION, and the prevention Of the
peculiar muscle spasms of men who
work in very overheated places is to
administer salt and water. So it
would appear logical to eat more
salt in summer. In my opinion the
taking of salt has nothing to do with
hardening Of the arteries or Bright's
disease.

BLOOD TESTS are made for
various conditions. The blood is a
highly complex sort of fluid, per-
forms many functions and contains
many kinds of bodies. Tests for
these substances have attained a
very high degree of efficiency, and
diagnosis can be made with great
certainty.
People speak with great certainty
OF the fact that their blood is acid
and apparently are entirely un-
aware of the fact that the biochem-
list can tell exactly to fraction how
acid it is and what acids are present
which causes the condition. The
a:cldulous one would find in most
instances that the blood was not
acid at all. The blood is as nearly
neutral as it is possible to be in this
world, and it preserves it's neutral
Ivy by many devious devices. If it
should become very acid or very
alkaline, a very serious condition
follows.
For Immune Bodies
Other tests of the blood are for
immune bodies, as for the immune
bodies of typhoid fever by the Vidal
test, and the gWasserman test, 6f
which so much has been made lately.
Ihese tests are very ingenious. The
vidal test, for instance, depends on
sne tact that after typhoid bacilli
nave lived in the body for while,
the blood develops what are known
as agglutinins. The typhoid bacillus

FARM SURPLUS PROBLEM

WHAT OTHER EDITORS ARE SAYING
REMARKABLE RECORD IN SCHOOL
BUS OPERATION

Those in control of the bus transportation
system in the schools of North Carolina deserve
generous laudation from the public for the re-
markable record in safety that has so far been
made and which is still being achieved
It has repeatedly been claimed that the State
school bus system is the largest in the Nation
from the standpoint, at least of the number of
pupils transported over the greatest number of
miles.
The Associated Press has recently thought it
to be a good and interesting news to delve into
the record which has been attained by the stu
dent drivers of these buses from the standpoints
of safety, efficiency and economy.
It is related that out of Alto buses transport
ing nearly 100000 children daily to 1926 consol-
idated rural schools, $500 are operated by stu
dents, 16 years of age older, and several girls
are included among the drivers.
The State pays these drivers $3.50 amonth-
not large sum, relatively, but an amount
which might mean great deal to many girls
and boys.
So far this year, the Associated Press in
forms, there has not been fatal or serious &C
cident; last year there was only one fatality, and
in 1856 there were only two.
These statistics are as astonishing as they are
provocative of glad applause for those in admin
istrative control of the transportation of the
school pupils and for those who actually handle,
mechanically the buses in which they are driv-
en- to aric from their several points Of destina-

road. Besides the general traffic,
trucks loaded with lumber, produce
and the shipment of livestock and
the schedules, mails, newspapers

the busiest highways in all that Sec

es can pass over it but how much
safer would it be for the children if
the road were surfaced. Much of
the finest scenery in the state lies
along this route. It skirts the
Three Top, Peak, Elk Knob and
Snake Mountain. More and more

tracing the attention of travellers

the part of the District member Of
the Roads Commission, the State
Commissioner and leaders in the
county who look after such matters

justly due them. It would amount
