public health service. Perhaps
it will bo urged that tho great
body of physicians of tho United
States is the real safeguard of
tho people. This is in every high
sense true, but in support of tho
first soemlngly wide-reaching
statomont lot it bo known that
tho physicians of tho public health scrvlco en
gage themselves faithfully and with proved offl
ciency in tho labor of prevention of which, as
tho time-tried saying has it, an ounce is worth
a pound of cure.
Tho surgeons of tho public health service aro
not only sontlncls in tho field of worfaro against
disease, but they aro tho advance guard of tho
soldiers engagod in tho fight Tho campaign rec
ords show that on many fields by early victories
they bavo m&do groat battles unnecessary. It Ib
iv largo part of their duty to over com o Uio enomy
on his first nppearanco, and In many instances to
mako impoDsIblo his appcaranoo in tho field which
lio cooks to sow with tho gorms of dlscaoo which
sxo his weapons of offense.
In tho popular prints ono rcadB columns of tbo
."activities of government in preparations for pos
sible -war. Thoro seems to bo a delight in dread
amughta and abiding Interest in battalions. Of
tho Hfo-snvlng functions of tho
tjuvuruuient ono reads little.
Tho worlc of tho medical sorv
Ico is as devoted and more
dangerous than that of tbq sol

ministrations fncos death in

est in tho dally work of tho
public health scrvlco of tho
United States. It fB carried
on for tho benefit of all tho
peoplo, hundreds of thousands
and perhnps millions of whom
know too llttlo of tho labor in
their behalf. m
Tho public health sorvico of
United States is a bureau
of tho department of the troas
ury. It falls directly within
tho offlco of assistant Becro-

United States government:

conducts research work, maintains national nW

facture and salo of blologio medicinal products in
interstuto traffic and furnishes medical treatment
to various branches of tho government service.
Officers of tho sorvice may bo assigned to duty in
any part of tho world."
It is the lntontion In tho present artlclo to tako
up and descrlbo only ono or tho works and Holds
of labor of the public health sorvico. Tho waters
of Chesapeake bay and Its Inlets and tributaries
form tho flnld of an enormous industry. It is
from theso waters that aro taken a largo part of
tho shell fish approved as a deloctablo food by
thousands and perhaps millions Who novor saw
salt water. How many AmorlcanB noddlug with
tho approval of appotlto over their oysters on tho
half Bholl know that It has been mado a matter
of government concorn that tho shell fish should
bo a food as feafe to tho health as It is grateful'
to tho taste?
It has been said that the American poople Bhow
great interest in a dreadnought, a big ship built
for offensive purposes, and, if it is not putting it
too strongly, mainly for tho sinking of other Bhips
and their crews along with thom a killing pur
pose. Is it not to bo hoped that an equal if not
a greater interest may ono day bo created in tho
little ships of tho government wlioso only work
and only purpose aro Bavlng onoB?
In tho control of tho public health sorvico is a
llttlo ship called tho Bratton. It benrB tho namo
of a surgeon of tho sorvice who did commanding
work for mnnkind in a great yellow fovor opldomlo
and who laid down his llfo for humanity. The
Bceno of tho Dratton's activities is on tho wa,tors
of the great shell fish producing bay which washos
Maryland and tho tributaries thereto, It Is ono of
tho ships helping to guard the lives of ninety mil
lions of peoplo.
Tho work of safeguarding tho shell fish beds
from pollution and thereby performing tho work
of prevention at a source from which danger fre
quently springs, falls In tho field of direction of
Assistant Surgeon-General J. W. Kerr, "Ji charge
of tbo division of scientific resoarch." To givo
an idea of tho immensity of tho field of precau
tion, prevention and euro coming undor tho direc
tion of ono man it may bo said that Doctor Kerr's
duties as sot forth in tho organization chart of
tho scrvlco appear as follows: Laboratories;
leprosy investigation station, Hawaii; hyglonlo
laboratory, Washington, D. C; division of chomls
try, zoology, pharmacology, pathology and bac
teriology. Field investigations: Diseases affect
ing man, pollution of streams by sowago and In
dustrial wastes, rural hygleno and school hygiene.

S. Camming ia
in command of
tho coastal work
of this ship
which means bo
much to tho
public, which
porhaps knows
llttlo of what is being done in its behalf. This
ship a commander Is also a doctor, a surgeon and
a scientist. On tho ship knowledgo Is trained
aga list tho onoray. Tho Ilratton's cruises aro
mado in behalf of tho wolfaro of American cltl
zona nnd thoy constitute no menaco to tho coun
try of nny people on earth.
It is the first duty of tho Bratlon to safeguard
tho oystor Industry of tho waters in which the
Bhlp sails. Safeguarding tho oystor industry
moans .safeguarding tho health of tho consumers
of oysters and other shell flah. In 1912 a law
was passed which gave Into the hands of tho pub
lic health service tho work of field investigation
Into tho causes of diseases affecting man, nnd
tho duty of enforcing rules of Bafoty at tho
sources of trouble. Undor the samo law tho serv
ice was charged with tho work of tho study or .tho
pollution or streams by sowago and by Industrial
wastes. Tho work In connection with tho oyster
industry falls within tho field of tho duties im
posed upon tho scrvlco by (his law of 1912.
Tho Bratton steams all through tho coast
waters of tho Chosapcako, making incursions into
tho Inlots, bays and tributary rivers. Under the
dlroctlon of tho surgeon In charge shell fish aro
takou from tho bods at all tho sources or supply.
With them aro taken samples or tho water at dlt
foront depths and also samples of tho material
Which forms tho bed of tho coastal waters, tho
bays and tho streams at tho points where tho
test Is to bo applied. '
Bacteriological and chomlcal examinations aro
mado of tho sholl fish, tho water and tho bottom
material. Tho bacteriological examination is the
most important. It discloses the total number of
bacteria and tho numbor of colon bacilli which
are present. Tho .presence of colon bacilli In
great numbers shows tho prosonco or fecal mat
tor and arouses instant wnd earnest attention
and painstaking examination and report,
Tho layman probably knows in a general way
that typhoid fever through tho method of Its in
troduction into tho system Is ono of tho gravo
dangers which threatens tho peoplo through Its
food supply It must not bo supposed for a mo
ment that tho work of tho scientists on tho Brat
ton cease when thoy have taken their samples
and havo detected tho prosenco of elemonts which
may constltuto danger to the public health.
Whon thero ia suspicion that tho coastal waters,
tho sholl fish bed, or tho waters of a beach which
are used for bathing purposes by tho peoplo, aro
affectod by dangerous deposits, tho land whose
drainage flows Into tho suspected waters Instantly
Is studlod. All useful Information concerning It
Is obtained and means aro taken to correct condi
tions which havo contributed to tho pollution of
tho wators or havo wholly produced It.
Tho study of tho Bectlon of tho land which is
suspected of supplying through Its dralnago tho
mattor which on deposit becomes a menaco
through the sholl tlsh supply or othorwlso to tho
public health, comprises an Inquiry Into tho pros-
coffffAff? or r"ctfQfiArroft
ent and past conditions of health of tho commu
nity, whether or not typhoid and other com
munlcahlo dlseaso aro or havo been prevalent,
tho numbor of cases of such diseases and their
location, tho general sanitary condition of tho
houses, the land and tho Inhabitants. It Is a
comprehensive work and it is carried out In every
locality where thero is a thought that danger may
exist.
At Capo Charles tho public health service has
an experiment station. It Is a well and pictur
esquely located building, fitted with all tho need
ed appliances for tho scientific work which thoro
is prosecuted. At a llttlo distance Is a building
which Is used for a tank houso In which aro
placed nil tho material which is to bo tho sub
ject of bacteriological and chemical examination.
From tho beginning of each working trip until tho
final results of tho examinations of tho material
collected aro known, the work of tho scrvlco mon
Is most thorough. Nothing is left to chanco nnd
nothing Is omitted which might In any way help
tho safeguarding labor.
In this Btudy or possible shell fish bed, or water
pollution, tho public health servico has conductod
some work In the Mississippi sound. In tho time
to come unquestionably tho field of labor will bo
widely oxtended. Tho valuo of tho service Is un
questionable and It has beon so recognized by. tho
sclontlflc world. Tho sholl fish Industry Is an
enormous ono and It Is of surpassing valuo. Tho
public health sorvico not only works for tho peo
ple, but for the Industry Itsolf, which, of couioe,
ennnot thrlvo if its product becomes charged with
danger to tho public health. In a word, ono of
tho great works of tho public health sorvico Is to
see to It that ono gront part of tho food supply
of tho Unltod States Is made nnd kept safo.
The reports of tho public health sorvico aro
mado public and tho government and tho Individ
ual Btntos profit by thom. In tho agricultural de
partment thero aro two governmental agencies
which make uso of tho Information which tbo
public health servico supplies. Thoro aro pure
rood and sanitary laws In the Unltod Statos and
thoro are means ot reaching offendors against
thom. Threo departments of the govornmont, tho
treasury, agriculture, and, If occasion requires,
tho attorney-general's department, constitute a
partnership of correction and, If tho case Justifies,
of prosecution.
Tho Bratton is a small ship, but undor tho di
rection of tho servico and of Its complement of
scientists It Is dolus n great work tor tho public
health of tho peoplo of theso United States of
America.

"Tho Reversal, or Changing from a
Lamb to a Lion" ought to be tho titlo
of thlB squib which concerns Mike
Dorlzas, who footballs for and gets his
book knowledgo at tho University of
Pennsylvania, which is in Philadel
phia. Mlko Is a Greek and he's a strong
Greok. Mlko busted all kinds of lift

and strong man records at Pennsy and
everybody thought that Miko would

job on tho Pennsylvania line.
Mlko nearly squashed a couple of
his foomen during tho early games
this year when Pennsy was pitted
against some of tho smaller elevens.
Mlfeo, with his tremendous strength,
rode rough-shod over his rivals when
ever rough-shod riding was required.
He bunged up a couplo of foes and It
wounded his tender feelings.
"Looka here," said Mlko some
weeks ago to Captain Journeay. "My
being in the game ain't a squaro deal
for those other fellows. I'm so darned
strong that I hurt tho other fellows
and I don't wanti to hurt anybody.
Guess I'd better quit."
"Nix on your quitting," remarked
tho Pennsy criptaln. "Never mind
about hurting tho other fellows. This
Isn't a game of ping-pong. When you
hit tho lino hit It and hit it hard.
Your mob Is to make holes in the
line so some of our halfbacks can get
through. You go and mako those
holes, Mike."
Well, Mlko continued in tho gamg,
but Mike wasn't tho samo Mlko or
early In the season. Miko showed
too much gentleness in the game.
Mlko made openings for his backfleld
men whenever called upon to do so,
but whon he did ho usually lifted his

his foo to "pardon mo, old chap"
And then came the Carlisle game.
Mlko round himself opposed to Busch,
tho deposed captain of tho Indian
eleven. Busch didn't size up as any
more powerful in Mike's eyes than
did some of the other foes against
whom Mlko had been pitted and Mlko,
during ono of tho opening plays, at
tempted to shoulder Mr. Busch out of
tho way Instead of ramming into Mr.
Busch Just about as hard as ho could
ram.
Mr. Busch was very much surprised
at Miko's early conduct. Ho couldn't
quite "mako" Mike. Ho puzzled over
it for a few minutes, trying to figure
out just what Mike was trying to
spring on him. Mr. Busch it may be
stated, didn't know that Mike's actions
Were influenced by a tender regard
for tho physical welfare of his foes.
Ho thought it was some trick Mlko
was attempting.
As stated, Mr. Busch tried to figure
out just what Mlko was putting over
on him. He failed to figure It out,
and dismissing tho question from his
mind, he set about playing football tho
way that football should bo played.
Well, on the Monday following the
PennBy-Carllslo game, a modern Her

There was a huge gash on the

there wero brulsefe on his body, there
wero aches and pains In every Joint
and one kneo was so swollen that it
made walking a laborious task.
"Who's that fellow," queried a spec- ,
tator.
"Miko Dorlzas," answered a student.
"Mike, did you say? It doesn't look
like Mlko."
"No, it doesn't but it's Mike just
tbo same. I was in tho dressing room
a llttjo while ugo and I know that It's
Mlkowecause I was close enough to
hear Miko's voice and tho voice came
from the same fellow that you seo do

AMATEUR RULE CAUSES TALK
Bllllardlsts Havo Varied Ideas on Sub
Ject of Ball on Line In Balk
Line Contests.
Morris D. Brown, national amateur
champion In 1912, Is an uncompromis
ing advocate of a rulo that will pro
vide that In balk-line games between
amateurs a ball on a line shall be
decided "out." At the annual moet
ing of the National Association of Am
ateur Billiard Players ho mado an un
availing effort to havo such a rule
adopted.
Defining his attltudo, ho says: "The
gamo of billiards is a gentlomau's
game, essentially so as an amateur
pastime. Every gentleman will con
cede every other gentleman tho bene
fit ot a doubt. Thero always Is a
doubt as to whether a ball called on
a lino is actually in such a position. I
contend that no hum mi eye can accu
rately determine tho question.
"I consider the rule defining a ball
on tho lino as 'in' objectionable. The
professional motto 'as fair ono as the
other' does not appeal to me. Tho
chief argument against my motion was
that tho rulo as it stood was estab
lished when balk-line was introduced
and had ever since applied In both pro
fessional and amateur contests."
Tho only way to win greenbacks on
a football gamo is to pick ono team to
win and then bet on tho other.
Dalton, former captain and kicking
star at West Point, holped coach tho
Unlvorsity of Pennsylvania puntors
early in tho soason.
Glenn Warner, tho Carllslo Indian
coach, Is an old Cornell player and
