ticipating

doubt as to smallpox being a germ
disease.
"The unremitting work of Dr. Sam-
bon and the great English scientist.
Sir Patrick MaYiaon, all tends to show
that the sand fly spreads pellagra, and
even may be responsible for its origin,
although that point Is in doubt.
"It also is a disputed point as to the
I method of transmitting the disease.
One eanfp contends that the sand fly
acts as a common carrier the same
as the house fly conveys typhoid
germs on its feet, and implants them
in the human system hv walking on
food. Others assert that pellagra Is
transmitted by the sand fly through
Its bite, as tn the case of the mos
quito and malaria.
"And the more conservative divi
sion still contends that mouldy corn
meal is to .lame, and warns the peo
ple against allowing their attention to
be distracier] by the sand fly theory.
More Evidence Against Fly.
"The report of the Thompson-AIc-
Fadden commission will he the most
important and authoritative pro
nouncement this country has had in
regard to this disease that has come
to be so universall/ and so properly
feared in the Southern States.”
Contributory evidence in the con
viction of the sand fly is found in the
fact that the insect is indigenous to
all climes where pellagra is found,
and that the Italian regions where
pellagra is most general and where
registration of all cases Is required,
are all regions well supplied with
ranid streams--tbe type of water 1 r#
which the sand fly breed*) exclusively
The report of the commission and
its probable plans for "swatting the
sand fly" are awaited with groat in
terest by the scientists, and especially
by the Atlanta physicians, most of
whom have encountered the disease
in their practice, and all of whom are
deeply interested in discovering Its
cause and methods of prevention.
Among the interesting papers read
at the various meetings Wednesday
morning was one on "The Develop
ment by Highway Bond Issues.” by
Ii. I. Howes, chief of economics and
maintenance. United States Office of I
Public Roads.
The paper advocated the shortening 1
of the type of bond issued and the j
adoption of the "serial type.”
"The present tendency," Mr. Hewes
said, “is to the 30-year term for the
construction of relatively cheap roads ‘
which frequently can not last until I
the bonds .are retired. * * * Bond ■
issues for highways should secure a
high percentage of permanent im
provement in the roads built from the [
i proceeds. i
Long Terms Dangerous.
"The tendency to extend mileage
unduly with the proceeds of long
term bonds is financially dangerous."
Dealing further with roads and
particularly with Southern roads.
W. W. Crosby read a paper on "Types
of Road Crusts or Pavements."
which considered the various types
if surfaces, from asphalt and brick
through gravel, slag, stone and vitri
fied cubes.
"The rich agricultural soils , ‘*of the
Sunny South," said the speaker, "re
quire more careful attention while
being made into roads than.do those
of a more gravelly or rocky charac
ter.
"There is no more striking or dan
gerous fallacy in the art of road
building than a ‘standard surface.’
This matter is a topic for careful
consideration, especially in view of
the fact that $50,000,000 of borrowed
road money now is ready for expen
diture in t lie South.
"The Necessity of a Standard Label
on all Commodities Offered for Sale”
was handled by George R. Wieland,
research associate of the Carnegie In
stitution and Yale lecturer.
"To determine the value of a com-
modlty," said Mr. Wieland. "and to
hold those who advertise and sell >t
to a reasonable Interpretation of the
•aw of contract, five fundamental
questions should be answered on the
label which should be on every arti
cle. namely:
"What the article i ; bow made;
where made: when made, and by
whom made or produced. Evidently,
this simple aim at tellijig the absolute
truth about commodities will simplify
the task of preventing adulteration «>r
other falsification, not only of foods,
but also of all other products.”
^Science Cures Many
Mentally Weak Children.
Many children are dobmed to lives
of mental darkness for lack of careful
examination of their nvntal and phys
ical condition.
This is the opinion of Dr. Lightner
Witmer, head of the department of
psychology in the University of Penn
sylvania, who blazed a trail in Amer
ica that has led hundred; of young
people from supposed mental deficien
cy and feeble-mindedness to norm-*!,
or nearly normal, conditions.
Dr. Witmer founded the psychologi
cal clinic for the examination and
treatment of children mentally defec
tive. He also instituted the same
work In Lehigh University and Bryn
Mawr College. Sinee he began thte
close study of backward children and
devised methods for their treatment,
parents as far distant as California
have sent their children to 'hiladel-
phla for examination.
Dr. Witmer. who is in Atlanta for
the meetings of the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, said Tuesday that many of the*
cases were rought to him as hope
less, and that they had been cured or
aided by treat men based upon a care
ful examination of the children’s
mental and physical characteristics.

The Old Year is going! It has I
been a good year because it I
brought us "The Blue Bird.” I
The one regret of Father Time!
in passing is that he must leave I
all the pleasures of "The Blue!
Bird" to the new-born year. I
which smiles in anticipation, asl
should all who have this pana-l
< ea for depression awaiting tol
delight then*. Sidney Ormond,f
in The Constitution, says:
See ’The Blue Bird’ if you canl
/ \I HViKbi Ml " I nossibly find time and money.l
/ You will have missed the treat|
of years if you do not. Of ’The
Blue Bird* it is Impossible to
speak in terms too lavish.” i
Ward Greene, in The Journal*!
says " The Blue Bird’ is a Plaj
for everv one. You will regra
missing it. for it is the best pii
of the season in Atlanta ”’
Tarleton Collier, in The Oeor-j

something in MaeterlincVs fann
tasy that makes it transcendent!
beyond th^ frivol of fairy stories!
