STATE HEALTH OFFICER CAUTIONS For several weeks Key West has been busily engaged in persistent efforts to control the mosquito, carrier of the dengue fever germ, under the direction of G. B. Reed, chief sanitary inspector of the FERA, and as a result very little dengue campaign against the Stegomyia should continue unabated to prevent the spread of this disease. Writing in the August number of Health Notes, monthly publication of the State Board of Health, Dr. Henry Hanson, state. health officer, has issued a few words of caution and instructions to aid in the anti-Stegomyia campaign. He says: “Persons in the late predromal stages of six to eighteen hours prior to the onset | of the fever are infective to the Stegomyia, Once these mosquitoes are infected they continue infective for the balance of their lives.” The doctor states that the necessary protective measures for controlling, as well as preventing, an epidemic of | this kind are clear cut, and that an effective campaign directed against the breeding places of the mosquitoes will promptly stop the disease. Continuing, Dr. Hanson writes: “In intensive campaigns for the con- trol of the Stegomyia, observations in- fever is being reported in this city, but the!

It has also been found in such campaigns that diseases which are transmitted by the Stegomyia ; terminate within six weeks after the mos- quitoes have been reduced to a very low breeding index. “All city health departments should take immediate steps to destroy the breed- ing places of this mosquito. The present situation is one which calls for full co- operation by state and municipal authori- ties. Municipalities should divert funds, | making them available for use by health officers in employing personnel who should, during the next two months at least, devote their full time to inspection of breeding places and to the elimination of Stegomyia breeding. Some experience and training is required for this purpose. The State Health Department and the various municipal health departments will furnish supervision and instruction neces- sary for prompt control and eradication of the epidemic. Unless active control meas- ures are adopted and supported by the public, the epidemic will spread to all com. munities where Stegomyia mosquitoes pre- vail. “The Stegomyia breeds in artificial containers, such as tanks, cisterns, wells, tin cans, broken bottles, old abandoned tire casings, flower vases, gutters, etc., where water remains for a period of 19 days or two weeks. They do not (in this country) breed in swamps, ponds or ditches.” : HUSH! INSIDE STUFF High-up political gossip of the moment revolves around the persistent rumor that James A. Farley’s three-fold status as postmaster-general, chairman of the Democratic, National Committee, and chairman of the New York Democratic State Central Committee is due for an early and drastic working over at the hands of the administration. Latest report has it that Mr. Farley will be dropped from the cabinet, to be succeeded as postmaster-general by Secre- tary of Commerce Danie] C. Roper, with John Dickinson, former Pennsylvania pro- fessor, slated for elevation from assistant to secretary of commerce, all according to those who say they have the inside dope that the sky is falling on Mr. Farley.

IRBLAND Direcser, Physical and Health Edacetion New Jersey Sate Departmen of Prblic lasrastion Good Work by the Parent- Teacher Association The Parent-Teacher Association is engaged in many excellent pro- jeets for the welfare of children. But in my opinion they are making one contribution that stands out above the mi others. ‘I refer to the school lunch, whether it is the mid-session milk luneheon or the or- ganized hot lunch- eon at noon. mention this now because I schools will soon be opening, and | it is not too early for the Parent- ‘ Teacher Association committees to start planning for the year. And perhaps never before has there been suck great need for good school luncheons. The economic conditions of recent years have de- prived hosts of children of physical and emotional security. Food has been less plentiful or it has not been wisely chosen. School boards have been forced to withdraw fi- nancial support of the luneheon. Underlying outward signs of de- pression there is a sense of realiza- ‘tion on the part of children that something is wrong. It is an emo- ional thing, a disturber of that feeling of security which all chil- dren should have. Now a good cheerful luncheon is only one part of the remedy, but a very impor- cant part. It not only means food, out sociability, happiness, relief from worry, a restoration of good eeling. This is one valuable ser- vice open to the Parent-Teacher Association. I assure you it pays.
