STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. STATE PLANS HEALTH MOVE Town Health Officers# and Others Would Be Abolished end Their Duties Taken Over by Commlssioner If Bill Is Approved. Indlunupolis, Dec. 17, —Town health officers and city officers and boards of health would be abolished aud their (duties taken over by a county health commissioner if a rblll toß>e submitted to the geenral assembly in January receives favorable action. The state board of health favors enactment of the measure. Thd bill would provide for the appointment of a hea»th commissioner in each county, who would devote his entire time to keeping away disease and improving the public health. Dr. J. N. Hurty. secretary of the stute board, points out what he considers "three fatal defects" in the present health law. These are: Health officers are practicing doctors giving what time they choose to public health work. Health officers are practicing doctors in competition with their brother doctors ahd therefore cannot secure their co-operation. Without this co-operation present health oftlecra ure unly partially successful. Health officers practicing curative medicine are with a few exceptions uninformed and untrained In hygiene and disease prevention work. Their education and training is in the line of the pound of cure and not in the line of the ounce of prevention. Hence they are not efficient and economical to the stute. The establishment of a county health commissioner in each county would not mean the creation of a new office, according to Doctor Hurty, but would simply make the old office, more efficient. “By eliminating the town and city health officers and providing In their places one trained health expert an economy would- be effected. Doctor Hurty believes. The law should confain the following provisions respecting the county health * commissioner, Doctor Hurty says. His salary should be a living one graded by the number of people he serves; his duties and powers should be clearly defined; he should keep full and accurate records of his work; he ‘should be subordinate to the state board of health; he should make weekly reports to the state board of health; he should be subject to dismissal for such reasons as the law may set forth; and a proper health appropriation should be provided In each county.

Of Russia's population, two out of persons are peasants. Five states in the November election chose women for state euperintendents of public Instruction. * One of the greatest dykes In Holland is forty miles in length, and has been holding back the water for seven centuries. a The fossil coal to a depth of more than a mile would last 6,000 years at the present rate of consumption, if it were all recoverable. The walrus supplies about 1,500 pounds of meat, 1,000 pounds of oil and 500 pounds of leather, and the white whale supplies much more. Some London doctors are urging the wearing of less clothing, taking the position that the people generally are too well wrapped up in wool and fur to be good for their health. They are advocating t jvhat they call an all the-year-around suit.”

Taking advantage of the imitative faculty of song birds, a simple mechanism has now been contrived that actually teaches canaries and other pet warblers how to increase their singing repertory, says Popular Mechanics magazine. A partly waterfilled cylindrical metal tank, in which a slightly smaller inverted tank slides up and down, provides enough air pressure for blowing a serios of whistles of different tone.

After gaining a reputation among fishermen and camping parties by many years of reliable behavior, Parmelia lake, in the mountains of western Oregon, suddenly sprung a leak last summer like a punctured basin, says Popular Mechanics magazine. Toward the end of the season the water surface had shrunk to a few acres, all the rest having drained out through fissures in the bottom, enlarged apparently, by some subterranean disturbance.

Electrical dehydrating plants for fish are promised as a result of recent experiments in England, which demonstrate that it is possible with the aid of heated air to accomplish in a brief time results that now require many days of %ir curing, says Popular Mechanics magazine. Deprived of

every trace of moisture, the fish meats may be kept for years, and then restored to its original freshness by* soaking for three days in water. Tha dried flesh also may be ground into a fine flour of high food value. Thd process has been patented in aH countries. The possibility of error in the comparison of fingermarks as a means of identification is very remote, but it is said that there will be even less uncertainty with the new method of making the fingerprints by means of the X-ray. This method consists of rubbing into the lines and marking of the fingertips a preparation of carbonate of bismuth or some other salt, which, when the fingers aro photographed with X-rays, snows corresponding opaque marks in tne picture thus obtained. The salt can bo made to fill completely the minute markings and glands of the skin, even below the fingernails, and when photographed with X rays these aro said to present a more complete and exact record than any other form of pfint.
