Washington; June 24.—Surgeon Gen- eral Hugh S. Cumming has gone two :he gulf region to supervise a war against sind the bubonic plague. This follows discovery of the disease at New Orleans, Pensacola and Galves- ton. At the same time, Cummir¢ ‘aa: ane’ a call to ail staée bo: B health chambers of commerce, boards of trade and the public at large to undertake at once effectual campaigns of rat extermination. if Mexico Affected. To date 11. people have died of the plague in New Orleans. two in Pensa- eola and one in Galveston. Tewenty. four or more have been victims in Vera Cruz, Mexico, and the plague has spread -to.-¥ampico.- Railroad trattic| to that port and to and from San Luis Potosi.and Victoria has been stopped. The bubonic plague is carried be- tween cities by rats aboard ships and in'box cars. Hence both inland and|| | port cities are liable. Once it is start- ed, ‘where rats are numerous, ‘it -is practically necessary ‘to’ rid the city | of rats and Tiijce to halt the disease. The plague is transmitted from rats to humans by a small flea. The first bubonic plague ever known in America was in San Francisco inj540,000 Thousand Animals are 1907. Even ground squirrels became carriers It ‘was suppressed in 1908, though people in the rural districts still dread the ground squirtel. The plague is present in practically all Mediterranean ports, and Vessels, coming from’ these sections are thor- gughly fumigated before. docking in America, No Need. for Panic. “The situation should cause no panic,” s Cumming, “but it is ne- cessary that American people act at once to stop it. We have sent a man to Mexico to. aid in fighting it down there.” A strange thing about the disease in’ American cities_is that, although persons ‘have died few infected rats have been found. At Mobile, 4,500 rats were tested and not one had the plague germs. Health officials say that Spain and Italy are negligent about reporting the discase germ when it 1: found, for} ? tearzof hurting shipping.

Dal- las Hanna, member of the staff of the California Academy of Science, has Just left here for Alaska where he will make a census of the fur seals on the Pribildf islands under direction of the United States bureau of fisheries. Dr. Hanna has been connected with this worl ch year since 1913. In 1919°it w reported that’ theres were 540,000 animals in ‘the herd. . In 1910 when the government first took over he operation of the island industry here were less than 200,000. Durihg the time when this increase was tak- ing place enough surplus and useless males have been killed and their skins sgld at auction to provide the national reasury with $3,500,000 above all: ex- ; nses, according to W. W. Sargeant, retary of the California academy of science. Increase Rapidly. Thg purpose of the census is chiefly to determine how many animals can ve safely removed each year and still wovide for a maximum) percentage of ncrease of the herd. If the increase n 1920 continues as heretofore, it is said that there should “be about 600, 000 these amphibious fur bearers: by far the largest herd ‘in existence, as well as a surplus of about 30,000. males which can be kiNed for their skins. “At current prices of these furs they will be valued at about $3,000,000. “Since the cost of operation will be less than $200,000 it is quite evident ihat this industry is one of the pest it not the best financial “enterprises the government ‘has,” said Mr. Sar. geant, “and it is capable of almost un- limited expansion provided the fe- males are protected at sea and the sur- plus males are removed from the herd. The fighting 6f such males on the crowded rookeries causes a large mor- tality among the females and young. Carcasses Saved. i “The carcasses of the animals killed were formerly allowed to waste but last year a by products plant was put into operation by means of which it is expected a very superior oil and ani- mal meal will be placed on,the market. The census which will be taken in 1920 will enable a close approximation to be made of the quantities of these products which will be available in the immediate, future.” 74 REVIVE TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR AMONG ‘CHINESE Hongkong, June 24.—There has been something of a revival of inter- est in the ‘human hair trade in ‘Hong- kong following increased demand from both the United States and Great Jritain. The stocks of hair in ‘Hong. kong are small and prices thave been adbancing ‘rather rapidly. drawn 16-27 being quoted at $210 per 133 1-3 pounds, with ‘drawn 26-36 at $380, 10-20 aot $140, 8-14 at $80 and 5-10 stumps at $57—alL/. c. b.
