For Aid Made
By Ambulance Corps

An appeal from the British
American Ambulance corps for aid
was received here yesterday.
The letter, written by William
V. c. Ruxton, president of the or
%ganization, pointed out the British
lost virtually every ambulance
they had in Flanders and wound
ed soldiers as well as women and
children often lay for hours beside
the road or in open fields, because
no ambulances we're available"
An ambulance equipped in ac-
cordance with British army regu-
lations together with uniform and
transportation for volunteer driver
and upkeep.for a year costs a total
of $1,000, the appeal said.
Those wishing to aid the corps
may do so by sending checks to

with distress obvious on his some

Gayle moved to lock out a win

look too. For a long moment they
stared. Mr.. Merrifield was appalled,.
He was about to say something
when Gayle spoke first.
: II wish there was some way for
you to hire all of them"
They walked slowly back to the
fire. Graham stood waiting orders.
Mr.. Merrifield's old hand trembled
a bit, revealing his agitation as he
reached again to poke the fire.

Along the Gulf Coast

Along the Guli Toast
DR.. Lynch points out that along
the Gulf Coast from Texas to
Florida there are relatively few
cases of mastoiditis in proportion
to the population. As one goes up
the Eastern seaboard the cases
increase, until in New England
the peak is reached. The same is
true Of the Mississippi Valley
the further north we 90 the more
cases of mastoiditis we encounter.
Certainly this is also true Of in
flammation Of the sinuses Of the
nose-acute or chronic.
But when cultures are made
from the throats Of people in vari-
Gus parts of the country, the strep-
tococcus is found distributed
pretty generally throughout - in
sections where mastoiditis is prev
alent, as we'll as where it is rare.
But DR.. Lynch made the interest
ing observation that virulence of
all these organisms is not the
same. When he injected cultures
from the threats Of people in the
North and on the Atlantic Sea-
board into guinea pigs, he had
more severe form of Inflammation
than with the Southern cultures.
Poor Ventilation
II the environment Of the ex-
perimental animal is changed-if
one group is brought up in condi-
tons of cold resembling the North
ern winter, and another in condi-
tons resembling our Southern
climate, the reaction to organisms
differ. This is paralleled by obser-
vations that mastoiditis is all over
the country a winter and spring
disease. The peak is reached after
a gradual rise beginning in De-
cember and January until in
March the largest number of cases
is found. Then the incidence be-
gins to drop off until August with
VI anu a
more regulated and even tempera-
ture.
Another factor plays part. In
cold weather people are kept in
doors in poorly ventilated rooms
and the chances Of breathing in
someone else's germs are much
better.
The old doctrine of the seed and
the soil was never better illus
trated. Undoubtedly there is a
lesson for those subject to these
respiratory infections "a lesson
which common sense has long
taught them to respect - that a
sojourn in warm climate dur
ing the winter is a definite safe
guard to their health.

Sharecropper Is Problem
For All, Mrs. Roosevelt Say!
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 6.-Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt last night told
a dinner forum held as New York s
contribution to national share-crop-
per week that the problem of the
tenant farmer was one which could
mot be solved by the people of one
section alone, but must be under
stood by the whole country.
Unless we know our country, we
cannot as citizens fulfill our re-
sponsibilities," she said. .
Jonathan Daniels, editor of the
Raleigh, N. c., News-Observer. de-
clared that the problem was one for
democracy to solve, adding:
People talk about a war to save
democracy. We need to contemplate
a war to make possible a democracy
that will work in this land of our
own
"The war for democracy has its
first battle-ground in America, in the
South, but it certainly is not a
Southern battle-ground alone"
President Roosevelt sent a tele-
gram saying "low income and over
population in certain important
farm areas constitute some of the
most urgent and difficult questions
which confront the Federal Govern
ment."
