Sen. Harris’ Record
SAVANNAH, Oa„ July 22.—<A>i~
"The issue in the present sena
torial campaign in Georgia is clear
cut," said O. E Petry. of Columbus, j
president of the Georgia Federation
of Labor, in an address tonight be
fore the Savannah Trades and La
bor Assembly. "We have Serial or
Harris, seeking re-election will-, a
record of 12 years in which his ev
ery act has shown a sympathetic
understanding of the needs of the
masses. On the other hand
have a former governor. John M.
Slaton, an advocate of wealth as su
preme; a man whose record and
statements show him to be a man
with ideas that are relics of the dis
tant centuries. ’
In opening his address, which fol
followed that of Oeoffrey C. Brown,
of Washington. D. C., consulting en
gineer of the American Federation
of Labor Mr Petry said:
"I doubt If there has ever been
a time in the history of this nation
when the welfare of the people
needs attention more than the pie
sent, with millions of able bodied
people anxious to work and unable
to find any kind of employment.)
in many instances actual starva
tion Is facing them There Ls -.lit-. 1
tie wonder that the men of this
country who have Its welfare at
heart are concerned The thinking
preacher, statesman and citizen is
concerned at the present trend in
this country."

How Conditions Change
Try to look at it thi s way:
AH through the year the children
work by the strings and pulleys of
an organized society. Their hours
and duties are blocked off for them
like semaphores on a railroad. They
spend so many hours at this, so
many at that. Alarms go off. gongs
ning clocks chime—metaphorically
at least, and they go through a re
gular routine of work, practice, even
play, knowing pretty nmch what to
expect and when to do it. their
houses in order!
They meet t lie usual people un
der the usual circumstances Their
young friends are under the same
regulation that they are thenuol
ves. Their contacts with i^iese
yuiuig friends are more or less
volitional, they run in the groove
of common interests: school, movie:,
an entertainment, a birthday party,
a game, a new dress or a pair of
skates—the usual things that chit

Impossible to beat the sober record
of the world’s great scientists.
Tlic publishing house of Simon

of this statement with two meaty
summer books: “Crucibles," by Ber

liams.
There are no two ways about it;
these books are Just naturally ex
citing. “Crucibles” tells of the
world's great chemists and the
things they have done; the other
book, as its title indicates, discusses
the work of the astronomers; each
one leads you up to the brink of
mysteries so profound that they
make your head swim.
I think “Crucibles" is the better
book of the two. “The Great As
tronomers" suffers n bit from the
author's effort to make it “popular"
nnd becomes over-simplified now
and then; but "Crucibles,” while It
presents Its complicated facts clear

GOOD COMEDY ADDED
Cobb County Cuts
u Catching” Disease
Down 75 Percent
By ANGUS A. ACREE, Director,
Public Health Education Georgia
State Board of Health
MARIETTA, Ga„ July 22.—When
the communicable diseases in a
county have Ifeen reduced 75 per
cent, then it’s time to sit up and
take notice of who’s doing it. Take
a look at Dr. J. E. Lester, commis
sioner of Health of Cobb County,
Georgia. That’s what he and his
forces in this county have done in
the past ten years. That’s how
long they’ve had an Ellis Health
Law unit In Cobb.
This seventy-five percent business
applies to all the communicable dis
eases. In some particular ones, the
reduction Is even greater. In one
case, notably typhoid fever, the
accomplishment has been nothing
short of really remarkable. When
organized health work started to
this county there were about 100
to 150 cases annually in the conn
ty. Last year there were only eight
and the county is coming down this
year. Not much further left to go
to entirely wipe It out. Further
more, there has not been a case of
smallpox in the county in three
years. They’ve almost forgotten
here what small pox is, or are,
whichever It may be.
Dairy employes are given strict
physical and laboratory examina
tions to ascertain if they are dis
eased or are carriers of communi
cable diseases. Recently Dr.
ter found two chronic typhoid
riers among dairy workers. One of

Dr. Lester is strong for
urban sanitation and constantly
has his eagle eye peeled for insani
tary conditions. He is sure death
to the old style of surface privies
and has been instrumental in in
stalling practically in the entire
county septic tanks and sanitary
privies where sewerage is not avail
able.
Every year he holds physical ex
aminations for school children, un
covering each year fewer defects,
but reporting all these to the pa
rents of the children, so the de
fects may be corrected. Clinics
are also held for the correction of
these defects, Junior health or- 1
ganizations have been formed in the
schools and these make weekly re
ports Dr. Lester’s office. Water sup-'
plies foi; the-schools and. other uses
are carefully checked and corree’ed
when necessary, School children
are kept well Immunized against
typhoid fever, diphtheria and small
pox.
The midwives of the county are
instructed regularly and then
work constantly supervised bv Miss
Virginia P. Gibbes, county health
nurse. As a result there has been
a steady annual reduction of iu
fant and maternal mortality,
Employes of the many industrial
plants in the county are examined
according to the provisions of she
child labor law, and thereby much
disease is not only controlled but
eliminated as well.
The condition that has been
created by Dr. Lester and his
ha s resulted in the influx of many
small industries into the county, as
well as large ones, There is the
plant of the Georgia Marble
Company, employing hundreds; the
TUESDAY, JULY 22
Brumby Chair Company, employing
other hundreds; there are hosiery
mills, cotton spinning mills, tapes
try mills and goodness knows what
all else. The McNeel Marbje of Com
pany has a large force workers.
Health conditions in-Cobb county
are eminently satisfactory to Ccfcb
county people, when conditions of
other years are taken into consid
eration, but they don't suit at all as
long as Dr. Lester sees any disease
and defects existing at all
