- PUBLIG HEALTH IS 70 BE PROTEGTED Medlal Rssociaton Discusses " Preventative Measures Bt. Louls, Mo, May 25.—Need of greater expenditures and more ef- ficlency 'in rural public health work and of more emphasis on the techni- eal qualifications of health officers was represented by speakers before the section of preventive medicine of th American Medical association here today. Dr. Matthias Nicoll of the state health department of New York was one of those who contributed to a discussion of how scientific methods may prevent disease. Dr. A. J. War- ren of Topeka, Kans, sald that the application of sanitary and hyglenic principles by municipal health offi- cers has greatly Increased life ex- pectancy in urban districts during the last ten years. Dr. Warren added that in the same period rural districts have not pro- gressed satisfactorily, and expressed the belief that equal expenditures and efficlent control in country districts would result in a marked lessening of the incidence of typhold, smallpox, tuberculosis and diphtheria, ‘“‘which are excellently controlled in many American cities.” Should Retain Offices. “‘Health officers are frequently re- garded {n the same manner as other holders of governmental positions,” Dr. Nicoll said, “without taking into account the technical training re- quired to qualify for the positions. Health officers should hold their posi- tions subject only to retirement for cause. Since these positions are usually poorly paid, some provision should be made for pensioning those whose ‘salaries are “not sufficiently large to permit saving a competence for old age or disability.” Offictals of public health depart- ments, Dr. John D. McLean, commis- eioner of health of Pennsylvania, as- serted, must be trained through medi- cal and post graduate schools and through experience in the control of communicable diseases in the securing of healthful housing conditions, n , John Sorel was arrested this after- noon by Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lanpher, for alleged overloading of his automobile truck.
