Cross will be on the scene" ac-

last year for storm damage by the
local office of the Red Cross, Mrs.
Lumpkin said, though the organi-
cation stands ready in the event

The Red Cross drive will soon
be underway, and at that time, it

/ generously, il was said.
~Of every dollar turned in Mrs.
Iumpkin told, $50 per cent is
turned into national headquar-
drs."

On Weed Killing
Jackson Mon, Guest,
Tells Properties Of
24D Compound

Scenes from corn and wheat
fields in Kentucky, and the North
west, were shown in color slides
| to the Rotary club at Tuesdays
meeting by Clyde Kelly of Jack
son. Mr.. Kelly is associated with
Sherwin Williams Paint company
of Jackson. o. L. Ellison is pro-
gram chairman for the month.
According to Mr. Ellison who
reported the meeting, weed
killing program on 24D, compound
which destroys the roots of weeds
without damage to soil, was borne
out in the 20 minutes of colored
film which were shown. Mr.. Eli
son said the compound has been
successfully used in the North
west and in the corn belt, and had
been used on lawns here.
The poison destroys roots of
weeds provided proper application
is made, and will not damage any
but the round or blunt leaf such
as cotton, soybeans, and honey
suckle. Corn, rye, oats, and sor-
ghum are among grain which may
safely survive the poison.
A good attendance at the meet
ing was reported. viii D Wilson,
president, called the group to or
der. Guests included Gene NOVEL;
and John c. Davis, vocational
practice teachers from State COL
lege, guests of o. A. Cleveland:

mond A favorable reception to
the film was reported.
The services of Mr.. Kelly as
guest were obtained through Mr..

Hospitals OF State Urged By Health Director
To Practice Chest x-Ray Al Reduced Price

A superior plan for successful
combat of tuberculosis by city
hospitals, is endorsed this week
by DR.. w. H. Weeks, health dir
ector of Holmes and Leflore coun-
ties, who said the plan, that OF
making for each patient admitted
to the hospital, complete chest
x-ray, has been in effect at Com
munity hospital for one-year.
In order to render the service
and not make it financially bur-
densome, the price of the x-ray
was reduced from $3.50 to 81, with
the Lexington hospital foregoing
thought of profit. According to
DR.. Weeks, the hospital, the doc
tors, and the people of Holmes
county are proud of the plan of
the routine x-ray.
Records in large hospitals where
the policy of routine chest x-ray
has been practiced for some time
show greater per cent of chest
pathology found than in other me.
thods of mass chest x-ray, it was
said by DR.. Weeks.
The health director cites an in
stance wherein a married woman
entered a hospital not practicing
routine chest x-ray to all admit
ted, and was treated for her par
ticular trouble, later returning
home and developing severe pull
monary hemorrhage which indi-
Gated lung infection of several
years duration.
If the routine x-ray had been
practiced by the hospital, the wo-
mans condition would have been
known at the time she was treat
ed for. the minor aiIment. DR..
Weeks says it is hoped that other
hospitals will soon adopt the plan.
