HEALTH TALKS Street Peddlers Of all dirty, disgusting, dangerous places to buy foods, fruits, and confections, t]ie the street stands and push cart oeddlers take first place. Did you ever stop even for a few minutes to watch the var ious ways in which these foods are continually exposed to dirt and disease? Who has not seen some more or less un kempt, filthy looking foreign er hovering around an old push cart loaded with the cheapest grades of sticky candies, stale nuts and overripe fruits? In many cases his entire stock of wares are exposed to flies and dirt. Some of the more pro gressive venders now have tlicir candies and fruits pro tected from flies by means of mosquito netting. But this affords little protection against the clouds of dust that ire stirred up by street sweepers, gusts of wind, and passing ve hicles, The idea of having to inhale such dust is revolt ing enough yet in this case it is eaten—only in a disguised and more palatable form. All thoughtful persons recall at onzi the possibility of eating dangerous germs in dried tu berculosis sputa as well as unaesthetic material from the street sweepings To minimize this dust nui sance, peddlers caafrequently be seen blowing the dust off their candies and in the case of fruits the original lustre is restored b}' rubbing in the hands, with the coat sleeve, or worse still with a badly soiled pocket handkerchief. It is un necessary to even speculate on the possibilities contained in these handkerchiefs. Last of all, let us not for get that it is the small boy and girl, with their pennies and nickels, that are greatest victims of these peddlers of confection and diseases. Grow ing children must have sweets but there is no reason for our permitting them to patronize such places. Give the boys and girls good, pure candies and clean fruits. It will re duce doctor bills and increase the child’s prospects for a good stomach. Statesville Air Line Mr. Editor; It has now been about two years since work began on the Statesville Air Line Railroad and at the rate the woik has progressed so far it will be ten years before it reaches Yadkinville and 4 or 5 more before it gets to Boonville. Bonds of sufficient amount were voted to grade this road and if there is any reason why if. should not be done we are entitled to know the reason. Three townships in Yadkin County are tied up to the amount of $90,000.00 and are thereby disabled to aid in the building of another road. We were told that if we voted these bonds that the road would be built forthwith and that the amount would be suffieent to grade the road through the county. Now the question arises that if sufficient bonds art iv ailable to build the road WHY NOT build it NOW and let the present generation get some of the advantage of it? 1 he people who voted these bonds are entitled to know what is being done and should start some kind of an investigation at once and see if something eannot be done to get the road built and built now.

W. Beach Thomaa, an Oxford gradd* ate and former athlete. In reviewing the Olympic games in the Daily Mail says; “One can understand Ameri can supremacy. " The winners are mostly Engifehtedn* Scotchmen, or, above all, Irishmen, at one remove from the old country. One conspicu ous victory was won by an ex-Swede. “A vast population, recruited by the best red blood, as the Americans boast, from virile Europe, a popula tion specialist! cally devoted , to the narrowest form of athletics and pos sessed almost of a mania for com petition, is likely to produce a fine team. It did produce an Incompara ble team. The inclusion of Indiana, Hawnllnns and one Anglo-Eussian fur ther added to the total of marks. “The Swedes are a better stand ard of comparison. Their athletes are a delight to the eyes. They wero none of them specialists, but were all gymnasts In a wide sense, as well aa athletes in a wide sense. The nation has used tjty» Olympic games as a test of the physical training In which the whole nation has been brought up. By a quiot, methodical and really nation al movement they have vastly In creased the nation's Virility, The peo ple at large can drill, row, swim, run, throw and play. “The question for England is wheth er we cannot direct our national tal ent for athletics so that our teams may at least have some esprit du corps. In which the defeated Olympic team was grievously deficient, and so that athletic skill with a chance of representing the nation may become a really healthy ambition among the rich and poor In town and village. Such an Ideal Is realised already In Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and is being discussed In France and Ger many.* FIND A USE FOR SWEEPINGS Street Refuse Makes Good Pertillaer If U la Quite Pro© Prom Oil. The United States department CS agriculture has been conducting elab orate experiments to ascertain the value of street sweepings as a ferti lizer. J. J. Skinner and J. H. Beattie of the bureau of soils tried samples collected In various ways upon wheat, corn and radishes and found that hand sweepings were beet, but not nearly so good as well-rotted stable manure; that machine sweepings were about one-third as good as hand and that decomposed sweepings were almost useless. The reason for this war that the sweepings contained much lubricating oil. The experimenters made tests of sweepings from which the oil had been extracted and found that both hand and machine sweepings pro duced as good results as stable ma nure, while the decomposed sweep ings were not far behind. The department issues a bulletin warning farmers and gardeners that sweepings from which the oil has not been extracted will eventually impair the productiveness of soil, unless through drainage the oily material is drained off or changed. The Whale's Song* Whales are rarely thought of as vo calists, yet according to Miss A. D. Cameron in “The New North," they really have a distinctive song of their own. A certain Captain Kelly was the first to notice that whales sing. One Sunday, while officers from three whal ing ships were “gamming" over their afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started up with “I hear a bowheadi" There was much chaffing about "Kelly’a band," but Kelly weighed anchor, and went to find the band-wagon. Every sail followed his, with the result that three whales were bagged. Among bowheads, this singsong Is a call that the leader of the school, as he forces a passage through Bering sea, makes In order to notify those that follow that the straits are clear of ice. Walruses and seals and all true mam mals that have lungs and live in the water have a bark that sounds strange enough as it comes up from hidden depths. Every lookout ffom the mast head notices that, when one whale Is struck, the whole school is "gallied" or stampeded at the very impact of the harpoon; they have heard the death song. The sound that the bowhead makes Is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-hoo-oo oo!" of the hoot-owl. A whaler says that the cry begins on F, and may rise to A, B, or even C before slipping back to F again. He assures us tnat with the humpback the tone Is much finer, and sounds across the water like the note from the E string of a vio lin. 8tr1ndberg Not at Home. In an appreciative article upon the late August Strindberg, which ap pears in Harper's weekly, James Hun eker describes his interview with the 8wedi«h writer.
