The farm house, or rural home, should oo thoroughly screened. This will go a long way toward promoting the health of the inmates, to say nothing of the comfort it will bring in protecting them against pests, for even if flies and mosquitoes were not unhealthy, they would still be pesky things. It is highly probable that manv country housewives who loved their homes have welcomed the oppor tunity to move to the city simply to te rid of i-ch things; but these can te eliminated in the country, through proper sanitation and screening. Not only should the well-to-do rural home owner protect the water supply cf his own family against pollution, bu also the water used by his tenants. Laws are made for the lawless —not the law-abiding citizen. Legal action should be the last resort. It is law that the property owners in the city shall provide sanitary conveniences for themselves and their tenants. Why, then, should not the rural prop erty owners be subjected to a similar law? Law should apply to all and special privileges to none. Expanding Water Protection A study of the water situation in the United States shows that, While in 1932, only 31 per cent of the urban population was tributary to sewerage treatment plants, there was an in crease of 70 per cent in the following five-year period, which means that more than half the urban population now has protection.

Back of Their Explosion By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Aug. \ President Roosevelt seems to be a victim of na tional economic recovery. For an administration to be the vic tim of a depression is no new thing. President Hoover’s administration was the victim of one, which I never thought it was responsible for. I think the war caused it. It was due, as an aftermath of the world conflict, and it chanced to set in in the midst of the Hooverian term. True, Presi dent Hoover had pot foreseen it, as probably he ought to have done. He imagined that we were living in a new era of permanent prosperity. The time for preventive measures to be taken, so far as this country was concerned, was in the early days of the big struggle. Even if we had not gone into it we should have felt its subsequent backwash. Almost more than human wisdom would have been required to hit on the necessary measures, at that stage of tlie game, to save us from suffering from its effects. Who Could Have Acted? Anyway, Hoover was caught by a depression resulting from conditions long ante-dating his period in office. If any president primarily was to blame it was Woodrow Wilson. Per haps President Harding or President Coolidge should have foreseen what was coming, and done something— heaven knows what! But the country would not have permitted it, at that. It thought it was living to the tune of an eternal bloom. President Cleveland’s second admin istration also ended to the accom paniment of a fierce depression, in the early 1890’s. Cleveland was accused of causing that. Yet the late President Melvin A. Traylor of the First National Bank of Chicago, a great economist and financier, once told me that he con sidered that smashup the last thun derclap of the war of secession, a third of a century ahead of Cleve land’s presidential time. In fact, it is notorious that the farmers bawl out the administration if the weather is unfavorable and they have poor crops. Tins Is'Different But for prosperity to handicap an administration? That is another prop osition. Nevertheless, itis the situation now. Hitherto, when an administration has come in on a depression anej., prosperity has ensued, that adjntfii stration has claimed credit jfrr' it and “cashed in”. , ' Normally the administration should proclaim, with pyrotechnics; “We did all this!” And, indeed, it does. Also, however, it insists: “We want to KEEP it so.” The idea is the prevent any FU TURE depressions. The widespread response is: “To heck with FUTURE depres sions! Let’s not rock the boat RIGHT NOW.” “AIR CONDITIONED STEVENSON ' a” , .11 ~ 111 I WW I I ■!" 5 r - THURSDAY FRIDAY Bins Psszm&mmwtMmwzpmm Plus: “Vaudeville Villian”—Novelty HBMR|B||flfß^^t SATURDAY —ONE DAY ONLY fgf Mattact BEERY 1 ■tSBAVI SWIP7 PAGE THREE HEALTH SERVICE IS AN INVITING FIELD Dr. Carl Reynolds State Could Use Prepared for Preventive Work Raleigh, Aug. 7.—There are vacan cies which could be filled with trained men, if these were available, it was announced here today by Dr. Carl Reynolds, State health officer, who said: ‘We would like to contact doc tors under 35 years of age of out standing personality and professional fitness who would like to take up pub lic health work as a specialty and not as a stepping-stone to curative medi cine.” By this, he said, he meant young physicians who wished to make this form of service their life’s work. He added that he had appealed to the medical profession, asking its ation in this important matter and calling attention to the fact that for the training of eligibles funds are now available, and that two special courses are now given at Chapel Hill; each year for the training of public health specialists, the next course to begin September 20. The public health field is one that not only af fords an ample opportunity for serv ice but it is often remunerative. 1840 —Adolph F. A.
