RIVERS ER0DING
FOUR VILLAGES,
BURDICk FINDS
Gee Director Says Tanand,
Holy Cross, Koyukuk
Slowly Going

Not only Bethel, but three other
towns of the Interior, are seriously
endangered by undermining by
river water, Charles G. Burdick, in

Tanana, Koyukuk and Holy
Cross are all being eroded away
by the tapping water of the Yu-
kon, he found. At Holy Cross, the
river has caved away 500 feet of
the Catholic MISSIONS farm land
in the last six years. The church
itself is about 200 yards from the
waters edge at present.
Nothing could be built by man
which would both stop the rivers
action on the shore and withstand
spring floods, in the opinion of
Burdick.
The CCC chief went down the
Yukon on the first boat after the
breakup, following just few feet
behind the ice as it went out. The
boat was the Bureau of Fisheres
vessel Coot, Capt. Calvin Town
send. t{
Is Camps Planned
Plans to set up is CCC camps
to employ $50 men were announced
by Burdick today. The work will
start in August and cease in No
vember to allow Indians to return
to their trapping.
At Fairbanks CCC crews will
work on the aviation field, while
down the Yukon and up the Kus-
kokwim they will build roads and
trails, improve landing fields and
dig drainage bitches in the flat
towns.
Travelling chiefly by plane, Bur-
dick also visited Nelson Island,
Nunivak Island, Anchorage, the
KKenai Peninsula and Cordova. He

Raleigh, Aug 19-Weights and
measures inspectors Of the State De-
partment of Agriculture are now
checking tobacco scales in the New
Bright tobacco belt prior to opening
of sales there next week.
This check-up follows one which
revealed that weed scales in the Bor-
der Belt are almost one hundred per-
cent accurate, c. d. Baucom, chief
of the weights and measures divis-
ion, said today
He said he expects to find the same
condition existing in other belts.
He pointed out that his division is
a bit more active in the field of
warehouse and gin scales because
of the new State law enacted by the
1889 legislature requiring all public
WeigherS to be licensed.
Under provisions of the act, weigh
ers are required to certify all com
modities they weigh as to correct
ness of their weight.
Commenting on the excellent con-
dition and almost perfect accuracy
of Border Belt scales, he said:
Typical. of the findings of in
spectors is the case of warehouses
in one large market where 4,387,3
pounds of leaf were sold through the
week ended August II, representing
approximately $4,000 baskets with a
total error in weight of only sc
pounds above the tolerance being
found.
This condition reflects credit to
the warehouse OneratOrS and oivoe
the farmers assurance they are get
ting paid pound-for-pound for al
the tobacco they sell. Then, too, the
warehousemen seem to appreciate eff
forts of the department to aid them
IN securing accurate weighing equip
ment."

Most cases, it is now agreed, are
in the nature of allergy or hyper
sensitiveness - the same group as
hay fever, which we have been con-
sidering.
Many Possible Causes
Most, but not all. Some are what
the dermatologists call seborrhoeic
dermatitis, which means scaly,
fatty Inflammation of the skin with
out known cause. Some are due to
fungus infections. In some cases
the eczema is a contact dermatitis
due to soaps, alkalis, clothing, dyes,
paint (from furniture)-anything
which may touch the baby's skin.
Most cases, however, are due to
allergy, and in most instances the
allergen is food.
The common foods which may
cause infantile eczema are milk,
egg, wheat, corn, rice, barley, po-
tato, tomato, carrots, peas, beans,
spinach, asparagus, banana, apple,
orange, prunes, beef, chicken, lamb
and pork.
If the child reacts to one of these
when tested by the skin or patch
test, this may lead the way to recov-
cry. The common foods the infant
eats should be used for the tests, but
that is not enough. If the baby is
breast fed, some food the mother
eats may be the cause OF the diff

ouent disturbers, and this has
caused in individual instances some
quite perplexing problems. A child
with eczema may show by the skin
test that it is violently sensitive to
egg, vet may never have eaten an
egg in its life. The sensitization may
have occurred from the mothers
blood before it was boin, and be kept
up by the mothers milk.
Milk may also cause sensltlzation
in infants. There are tlve separate
chemical constituents OF milk which
NAV cause eczema in infants or chill

necessary ingredients OF an infants
