REGISTER DEATHS
t FOR OWN SAFETY
Just whrt diseases and maladies are
■causing the most trouble in the State,
or in ny county or district ot the
State, are ascertained by the bureau
ot vital statistics ot the State Board
ot Health, through proper registration
of deaths, accirdlrg to Dr. T. F. Aber
oromble. State health commissioner
and State registrar of vital statistics,
j Each certificate carries a medical
certfficlate, to be signed by the phy
!«ian who had charge of the case, as
talgnlng the exact cause. These cer-
Itificatec- are scanned closely in the bu
reau of vital statistics and the causes
grouped under one heading.
Thus, if some particular district
shows up an abnormally large number
of deaths from the same cause, the
State Board of Health Immediately
leaps Into action to take steps to erad
icate the cause which has been bring
ing about so many deaths.
The rate of death per 1,000 ot pop
ulation and not necessarily the actual
number, governs the actions of the
board in recognizing an epidemic.
What might be an epidemic in one lo
cality might not even cause a flurry
in another more thickly populated
community.
Therefore, when each family con
cerns Itself to see that the death if
one of Its loved ones is properly reg
istered with the local registrar in the
militia district, it is acting not only
to protect the rest of the people In
the community but the remainder of
the family as well.
The law requires that the undertaker
or person in charge of the burial file
^the certificate Immediately and ob-
Btain a burial or removal permit, with-
P out which the burial is illegal. In case
one does not know the name of his lo
cal registrar, Inquiry at the office of
the ordinary of the county or the State
Board of Health In Atlanta, will bring
ithe desired Information promptly.

Free Post Graduate
' The State Board of Health Is happy
!to announce that definite arrange
ments have been made for the re
sumption ot the post-graduate school
for physictans In practical obstetrics,
four schools having been held last
summer.
They will conduct a school every
other week from December 2 to June
80. These schools will be held by Dr.
J. R. McCord, Professor of Obstetrics of
Emory University. They ars made
possible to our physicians by the De
partment ot Labor, Children’s Bureau
of Washington,' Miss Grac Abbott be
ing chief of the Division. Miss Abbott
is very much Interested in the welfare
of women and children, and especially
is she anxious to see a much-needed
reduction In the death rate of mater
nity in Georgia, we having next to the
highest rate ot any state in our union.
The first school to be hold will “come
to books" at the good city of Gaines
ville, the live county medical society
having extended a most cordial Invi
tation to Doctor McCord. This school
will have Its first session at three
o'clock eastern time December 2, and
will continue for five days. We hone |
that every doctor wlthiu driving dis- |
tance of Gainesville will be on hand I
and attend every session of the five
days. The State Board ot Health does
not believe that there will be a doc
tor who will miss this wonderful op
portunity, this Instruction being given
without charge.
The series ot lectures and the many
moving pictures will be arranged so
that each day will be given to acer- ■
tain subject. The leading obstetricians |
of America havq contributed pictures '
from their clinics; each will be worth '
a full day.
The second school will be held at |
^'Canton, December 16, afid a third at:
Newnan December 80. Other dates
will be announced later.
Child Hygiene Work Cut.
Should Be Continued
We are Indeed sorry to read the an- I
nouncement that our State Board of
Health will not be able to continue its
program as fully as it has in the partl
few years, owing to the fact that our I
legislature did not provide sufficient \
funds, it will be recalled that this :
paper told in its columns last spring
about the withdrawal of federal funds, I
owing to the repeal of the Sheppard- ;
Towner law. Under this law Georgia i
has been expending about 860,000 an- ;
nually. The legislature was requested i
to make appropriation to take the ■
place of this fund, but they did not
see fit to do so. The total appropria- |
tion for the entire work of the board
was increased, only forty thousand dol- I
lars, and this fund will be divided by
the different departments, so little will |
be available for mate-iity and child
hygiene work.
We are indeed sc. - that this Is so, :
as it has always appeared to us that
most of our funds should be spent for I
the betterment ot our mothers and
babies.
Another bill has been introduced in
•the new congress appropriating a mil
. lion dollars for work among the states
along the same lines as the Sheppard-
Towner law, and we are told that it
has a chance to become a law. We
hope so, and sincerely expect our sen
ators and representatives to use then
■.lnfluence and vote to bring It about

THE THINKER LEADS
MODERN PROGRESS
By JOHN G. LONSDALE
President American Bankers
Association
epHE greatest need of the world to
* day Is interpreters of our times
—modern Daniele in agriculture,
finance, politics.
Industry — who
can see throuKb
the fog and haze
that enshroud our
difficult problems
and advise. In
struct, and influ
ence those who
are either Indif
ferent or limited
in their percep
tions.
Through the
thinker and the
interpreter, un-
John 6. Lonsdale
known situations are disclosed or
puzzling conditions explained In logi
cal light. The American people are
so constituted that they can meet and
combat any situation once It is known
and understood. It is the unknown
that comes like the thief in the night
and brings disaster.
Some one has defined prosperity as
something the business men create
for the politicians to take credit for.
But America’s present-day prosperity
can be defined as a product resulting
from the business man's ability to
study and to interpret. Huge corpora
tions maintain research staffs and
special bureaus to Interpret the times
for thorn. Disaster looms in the offing
for any industry that goes blithely on
its way day after day without due re
gard to significant trends in trade and
business.
Keeping Up With Change
Leaders of finance have discovered
that they cannot remain passive In an
age when all the rest of the world is
in a transitional stage. The modern
banker not only must know about the
changing styles in other lines of busi
ness, but above all must be alert to
the transformations which are taking
place in his own. He must be a man
of keener, broader vision, because the
order of the day is for larger units of
service. Mergers and consolidations
have taken place In great numbers.
We now talk of billions where a few
years ago we talked of millions.
Wo have only begun our changes.
What disposition Is to be made of
the many problems that they bring
will depend in large measure upon our
leaders, upon the students and the in
terpreters who can read accurately
the signs of the times, so that we may
base future actions and hopes upon
their wisdom. The quickest way to go
to the top is to go to the bottom of
things, and let us hope that among
them will be found many who will not
only aspire to leadership but will be
successful in reaching their goal.

A CITIZEN WHEREVER WE SERVE
DISINFECTING COTTON SEED
HELPS DEFEAT BOLL WEEVIL
SCIENCE has evolved new means
ot assisting cotton growers in
combatting the boll weevil.
The new method Is to treat the seed
for the purpose ot obtaining an early
stand ot vigorous cotton plants, capa
ble ot setting bolls la advance ot
heavy weevil infestation. It has also
been shown that disinfecting the seed
results in reducing damping-off or
“sore shin;” controls seed-borne
anthracnose; decreases damage from
angular leaf spot, and protects against
certain seed-borne boll rots. It, there
fore, is unnecessary to follow the
common practice ot planting an ex
cess amount of seed in order to secure
good stands.
In treating the cotton seed, an
ethyl mercury chloride dust is used,
It Is inexpensive and is easily and
quickly applied to seed by agitating
the seed and the required amount of
the disinfectant for a few minutes in
a home-made duster or dusting outflts
such as may be obtained from seed
dealers.
The compound was developed by
scientists of the Bayer-Semesan Com
pany working In cooperation with ex
periment stations in several leading
cotton states. For means ot identifica
tion, the disinfectant has been given
the name ot “Ceresan.”
Reporting the results of tests with
seed disinfectants on cotton, the North
Carolina Experiment Station says:
“The least effective treatment result
ed in an increase ot 95 per cent in
number of seedlings, while the most
effective treatment increased the
stand by 355 per cent. The average
Increase of stand in all treated rows
over all untreated check rows was
146 per cent.”
L . ; y OkmAFES ky TREATED
Cotton produced by an equal number of rows of planta from untreated
seed and seed treated with a new disinfectant. Above—The effect of
seed treatment as shown by the vigorous cotton plants at the right, and
those from untreated seed at the left.
Tha North Carolina report further
states: “it is now believed that the
use of these disinfecting dusts on cot
ton seed will In many cases give suffi
cient protection' to enable the grower
to plant hfs seed from a week to ten
days earlier than otherwise would be
safe.”
In cotton tests made at Sumter,
South Carolina, the Ceresan treatment
increased the yield from 1,147 pounds
per acre on the untreated plots to
1,337 pounds on the treated plot, or
an increase of 190 pounds per acre.
At Orangeburg, the treatment in
creased the yield by 9.8 per cent.
