DR.. Stiles Death Recalls Work
Of Noted Physician While Here
BY KEN NOBLE

The death in Baltimore Friday
night of DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles,
famed medical zoologist and dis.
coverer of the hookworm in the
United States, recalled to many
Wilmingtonians the day nearly
three decades ago when the doctor
lived and worked in this city as
director of a statistical research
survey for the United States Pub
lie Health Service.
Though few laymen knew at the
time-and even fewer remember
today-the exact nature of the
fact-fnding research work DR..
Stiles conducted during his five
year assignment in Wilmington
between 1927, veteran New Han
over county medical men recalled
yesterday that DR.. Stiles did much
of his advanced research in the
hookworm disease while station
ed in the old Marine hospital here.
And, too, they recalled the infuen-
cial, behind roll the
noted zoologist played in the for
nation of the New Hanover county
health department assisting the
late DR.. Charles T. Nesbitt, long
time county health officer.
Research Begun Here
Out of DR.. Stiles research in
Wilmington the United States Pub
lie Health Service created its first
standard statistics for Southern
children, standards, which, Incl
dentally, are still recognized and
used in this part of the country.
Those statistics, compiled from
the individual CASE histories OF
thousands of Wilmington school
children during the years OF 1917
13-14-15-16, included information on
the height, weight, blood pressure.
pulse, physical development ten
denotes and a multitude of other
physical information. Thus, in
fact, Wilmington's young genera
ton of that era became-and is
still-the *" medically speaking,
of all children of the southern
states.
In addition to that survey, the
first comprehensive, accurate one
Of it's sort ever made in the South,
DR.. Stiles devoted much time while
in Wilmington to continuing adj
vanced research into the hook
worm.
HookWorm, as a medical fact
was scoffed at by the profession
as late at 1906. 1t was DIR. Stiles
who first introduced the theory
that hookWorm existed in the Unit
ed States, particularly among the
poorer people of the deep South
He was rid..culed by the fellow
doctors for what was termed "s
fantastic notion" and it WASH
until 1906 that leaders of the Amerl
can medical profession began tt
accept DR.. Stiles findings as fun
damental truths.
AS 2 young medical student IF
France, Austria and Germany, DR.
Stiles, early in the 1905, became
interested in the study of the hook
worm, a %parasitical organism tina
attached itself in a then-unknoWr
way to the intestines OF human
beings and certain types of AMI
mails, mostly dogs. The hookworm

Congress in 1902, DR.. Stiles, then

DISPUTE MAY GO
TO PRESIDENT

The board may intervene where there is
disagreement over the union which is to rep
resent the employees. Usual course is to hold
an election and let the majority decide.
When a union and a railroad are negotiating
a contract and can't agree, the board may in
tervene and offer its services as a mediator.
In most cases, this eventually brings about an
agreement. If mediation fails, the board may
then offer it's services as arbitrator.
Neither side is compelled to accept arbitra-
ton, and if arbitration is turned down the
board steps out of the case and the workers
are free to strike-after a delay of 30 days.
If a strike is voted, and the board feels it
would substantially interrupt interstate COM
merce, the board may then notify the Presi-
dent to that effect. The President can then
appoint an emergency board to study the
whole affair and make a report.
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-01-26
AN IDEA FOR
DEFENSE

Here again, there is 10 coercion-except for
the proviso that the1e can be no strike or
lockout for another 30-day period. The emer-
gency board can't force anything on anyone.
Its sole power is to make a report on the facts.
But the theory is that such a report. setting
forth the facts and indicating which side was
more to blame for the trouble, given full pub
llcity by the White House, would sway public
opinion so effectively that there would be a
peaceful settlement. So far, it has worked
that way.
That, in brief, is the way labor peace is kept
in the transportation industry. The employees
keep their right to strike; the employers keep
the corresponding right, which is the right to
stand a strike rather than accept a settlement
they don't want. But things are handled SO
that a railroad labor strike is an extremely
rare thing. And through it all the trains keep
running.
Somewhere in there there may be an idea
or two for the defense program. 1

 Young comes from long line of weavers. He started designing some of our finest silk fabrics 25 years ago. Then he retired. But he retired to Hollywood, where the clothes so stimulated his fancy that he opened an experimental laboratory.
 JUST GIVE HIM TIME
 Just about that time the girls got it into their head to go bare-legged. That didn't please Young, so he devised the sunburn "bare-legged" hose. You remember, they had no seam, and they were so fine they hardly were visible. That fad caught on. Then the girls began to kick about too much sheen in hose. So Young thought of twisting the fiber as the hose was woven. We got those lustreless high-twist hose.
 Since he has been working for the Department of Agriculture Young has had some more prac- tical ideas. He designed a two- way stretch top now in use on some silk hosiery. It's great sav- CT when woman stoops suddenly to pick up her compact. The hose stretches, and the result is fewer runs. s8t ,se'
