WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1929. STATE HEALTH TOUR STUDIES OUTBREAKS, WATER AND SEWAGE Dr. J. D. Jungman and Sanitary Engineer Bavone Investi- gate Many Cities TRACE SPINAL MENINGITIS Alexander Had Three Deaths, Williston One; Three Water Problems Considered After a wide survey of water, sew- erage, tourist camps, some outbreaks of infectious diseases and general health and sanitary conditions in the western part of the state, Dr. J. D. Jungman, of the bureau of preventa- ble diseases, and A. L. Bavone, state sanitary engineer, returned to Bis- marck Tuesday evening. They were away since Monday, April 15, and among the towns and cities they visited were Center, Hazen, Killdeer, Beulah. Watford City, Alex- ander, Williston, Ray, Stanley, Willis- ton, Berthold, Minot and Washburn. Special attention on the trip was given to tourist camp conditions. The doctors sampled their water supplies and had some samples tested in Minot, while other were brought back for Dr. W. 8. Koller, state bacteriolo- gist here, to pass upon as to purity. Study Disease Outbreaks Two outbreaks of cerebrospinal meningitis were investigated on the trip. One was at Alexander, where, out of seven cases, there were three deaths. The other was at Williston, where there was one death, Cultures were taken of all contacts at both cities. Williston measles also were in- vestigated. An outbreak of typhoid fever also was studied at Alexander. The find- ings were noted and reports will be prepared here and sent to the health authorities of these communities, be- sides being placed in the records of the state health department here. Special attention was paid to the wa- ter supply of Alexander, on account of the typhoid, as a possible source of the outbreak, Hazen presented a problem in sew- erage. The present pipes are too small for the amount of sewage handled and the flow has been back- ing up into the school buildings. En- gineer Bavone will prepare a plan for remedying the condition. Williston Has Water Problem Williston had two problems which Engineer Bavone investigated. One was the water supply and the other the city’s sewerage. Owing to the Missouri shifting its course at Willis- ton and cutting a channel ‘several miles south, the city abandoned the river as a water supply source and sunk wells. These have proved un- satisfactory, on account of the highly mineralized condition of the wel! wa- ter, 80 pipes are to be extended to'the Missouri and that stream again made the source of supply. The Williston sewerage problem is the result of the existing sewers not extending to the river and, therefore, discharging their sewage in the open. The plan is to extend the system and again let the river bear away the sew- age. Stanley has not kept up its tourist camp, so that situation was investi- gated, with a view to advising the city on plans for re-establishing a camp. Samples of water were taken and the lay of the ground studied for sewer- ing It. Dr. Leedahl, newly-appointed health officer at Stanley, gave the visitors much assistance. Another health officer whom the state officials met was Dr. H. L. Hal- verson at Berthold, who has charge of Ward county. They went over the general health problems of Ward county with him. They found him very active in the administration of his office and doing good work for ‘Ward county. Urge Minot to Health Bureau At Minot Dr. Jungman and En- gineer Bavone appeared before the city commission to discuss health and sanitary measures. They also met with the presidents of several wom- * association and explained the full- Loy Na they made to the city authorities. They conferred with the health commis- sioner, with a view to ‘stimulating health activities in Minot. City At- torney Helverson said he would take an active hand in having all physi- cians there report all communicable A survey of the ‘water supply of Minot revealed the quality very hard and a softening process has been recommended. The sewerage system in the state. Washburn Water Dangerous The last investigation of the trip was made at Washburn, where there i tty bil ureit iz j f By HORTENSE SAUNDERS New York, April 24—(NEA)— Broadway always has been strong for ha plan—though I've been gypped often enough by men. EVERY CHORINE CAN BUY A PET—AND DOES | some man, when their tastes become more expensive. Usually they select @ Boston Bull or a Wire-Haired, dur- able breeds that prevail on Broadway. Over on Park Avenue, where the s0- clety girls parade, the Schnauzer is a0 smart dog—but he begins around “Chorus girls are the best dressed ‘women in the world, and their dogs are the best groomed. They bring them in regularly to have them clipped, have their nails trimmed and their teeth cleaned.” Besides selling and beautifying pups, King maintains a boarding house for pets. Consequently, when the girls who have bought dogs from him go on the road for a while, they bring in their pets to board while they are out of town. Dogs Don’t Have to Diet “And their dogs are used to good grub,” King said. “For many a chor- ine will send over to the delicatessen for sliced chicken or turkey for her dog—and buy a liverwurst sandwich for herself. “Usually, she's too good to her pet. Often she feeds it candy which is an acquired taste, and it often comes back to me for a little plain living.” Whereas the chorus girl is thrifty, the Broadway star usually is extrav- agant, and goes the limit for an ex- clusive and expensive pup. “The griffon, which is a small dog weighing from a pound and a half to two and a half, is about the most expensive dog on the market,” he said. “Five thousand dollars may be needed to transfer the deed on such an animal—and griffons aren't bought on time. They're a cash and carry proposition. However, I’ve sold @ number of such dogs, and have had them in here to groom. Peggy Joyce had two handsome griffons. So did Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.” Cats never have been sought after by chorus girls—except in the fancier versions. .,. “You can’t carry a cat around with You,” he pointed out. “The chorus girl wants Ker pet with her. Before and after matinces and after the eve- ning performances, all the pups are on parade. Lots of times the girls make more fuss over their dogs than they do over the fellow who is going to buy them a feed—and the pup goes along and gets a good meal too.” YANKEE GROUP HELD IN MEXICO ALL NIGHT Revolutionary Officials Close International Line With- out Explanation Nogales, Ariz., April 24—(4)—Scores of Americans, caught on the Mexican side of the border when revolutionary officials closed the international line abruptly and without explanation about midnight, were permitted to re- turn to American soil at 3 o'clock this morning. The Americans were in the cafes and other amusement places of the/ named. Mexican town when the international gate was closed. Mexican authorities at first refused to permit passage of anyone into Sonora from American soil but later allowed a young woman relative of General J. Gonzalo Esco- bar, revolutionary commander - in - chief, to reenter Mexican territory. Border Closed at Night Shortly after General Francisco Borquez, commander of the Nogales garrison, announced that the border Here’s one granddaughter hereafter would be closed from mid- night to 9 a. m. ‘News of the revolutionary develop- ments was lacking in view of the closing order. Nogales, Sonora, has been preparing for several days for a Possible federal attack. j Reports that rebel troops had met ‘and repulsed federal soldiers at Masiaca, southern Sonora, were re- from General Fausto Topete, insur- recto leader. Topete reported that the federal advance guard had fled “after 700 of its men had been killed or captured.” String Barbed Wire Agua Prieta continued preparations for a possible federal attack. Thou- sands of feet of barbed wire entangle- ments have been erected just outside the trenches which encircle the bor- der town. Developments yesterday and last night also indicated that Nogales, So- nora, headquarters was expecting to see more action. A federal airplane, appeared near Baja California, flew over the town and dropped several bombs during the day. No damage was reported. General Escobar conferred here | With Brigadier General Frank 8. Co- cheu, commander of United States forces along the border. The subject of their conference was not disclosed. It was announced, however, that General Cocheu had established tem- porary headquarters here and that a battery of American field artillery had been brought to Nogales from Don Luis, Ariz. Three Mexicans charged with being federal spies were executed by firing,squads yesterday. New Store Managers Named in Northwest St. Paul, April 24—()—Fifteen new managers of J. C.
