THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE.
The annual report of the surgeon
general of the United States Public
Health service for the fiscal year
1913 really is only a mere outline of
the department for the year, the full
accounts of its wide and varied activ
ities being contained in numerous bul
letins and other publications issued
from time to time. In the 115 years
of its existence the service has rap
idly grown, especially during recent
years, both in the extent of scientific
work and in the practical welfare
of the people. It is doubtful wheth
er the average citizen has any real
conception of the extent or the great
value of the achievements of the
service.
Concerning the United States prop
er, highly interesting and significant
of the practical activities of the ser
vice are the reports of the field in
vestigations on pellagra, trachoma,
malaria, Rocky mountain spotted fev
er, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, para
sitic diseases, pollution of navigable
waters, sanitary administration,
school sanitation and the hygiene of
occupations. Much of this work was
done at the request of and in co
operation with state health hoards.
The work also includes laboratory
investigations of many of the diseases
primarily named as well as others,
studies in connection with the super
vision of viruses and vaccines, ser
ums and toxins, the preparation and
distribution of antirabic virus, the en
forcement of the white-phosphorus
match law, etc.
As a result of the investigations
since 1906 by the service and by oth
ers, sufficient knowledge of typhoid
fever is said to exist which, if utiliz
ed, would abolish the disease. It
continues to prevail, however, and
the department in future will en
deavor, by studying local outbreaks,
;o stimulate interest in the adoption
■>!' measures for prevention. A great
portion of the activities and of the
forces of the public health service
are connected with the quarantine and
immigration services, and the ac
count of that work given in the re
port is of decided interest, and im
portance.
This report, as a whole, shows
that an amazing amount of work of
the most practical value has been ac
complished by this service. For a
body inadequately manned, and pro
vided with sufficient appropriations to
carry out a tithe of its possibilities
of benefit, the United States public
health service has demonstrated anew
its wrhole-hearted interest in human
ity and its great power for good.—

VIOLIN MAKER SAYS
“STRADS" ARE ALL GONE
CHICAGO.—Take it from Knute
dahl, president of the newly
formed American Academy of Vio
lin Makers, that the famous old
Stradivarius fiddles exist today only
in fiction. The violins labeled as
“Strads” and now sold at prices
ranging well above $5,000, are the
'output of a Budapest violin-maker
who practically controls an “ancient
violin trust," according to Reindahl.
“Some people don’t seem to know
that (he civil war is over—also that
Stradivarius, Guarnerius and all the
old violin-makers are dead—and have
been dead for a long time,” said
Reindahl.
. “They seem to think that Strad.
left several cargoes of his fiddles,
enough to supply the world forever.
! Now the truth of it is that if I want
ed half a dozen ‘genuine’ Strads, I
could cable to a man in Budapest
and he would send thqfn. each one
marked at $5,000 or over, with the
understanding that I would get half
of whatever I coould get out of them.
Not long ago I ran across a violin 1
had made myself with my label re*
moved, a ‘genuine’ Strad label, sub
stituted. It sold for $5,000.”

Henry Boswell, the Seattle Saloon
keeper Pleads Guilty Killing Beryl
Berry in Auto Accident.
SEATTLE, May 13.—Henry Bos
well, the saloonkeeper who run down
and killed Beryl Berry, 18-year-old
daughter of the Seward prospector,
today pleaded guilty to the offense
and was fined $1,000 by the trial
judge.
The first trial resulted in a hung
jury and as the second trial was about
to be called Boswell agreed with the
prosecuting attorney to enter a plea
of guilty providing a fine was recom
mended.
The evidence at the first trial was
conflicting, and several witnesses tes
tified that Boswell was drunk, while
others say he had hardly tduched li
quor and that the accident was un
avoidable.
It is stated that Bosw'ell has also
a,greed to pay damages to the fam
ily of the girl amounting to about
?3,000.

TO START AUSTRALIAN
E|JILDING AT ONCE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13— C. J.
Oakshott, official architect for the
British colonies, is in San Francisco
to begin arrangements for the con
struction of the Australian building
on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition.
••'Because Australia," said Oakshott,
“has ambitious plans for participa
tion it is possible that an applica
tion will be made for a larger build
ing site than that which has been
allotted to us, and it is possible that
a little delay will occur in carrying
out our plans. In the end, however,
it "will give u* a chance to make a
better showing."
