CHAMBER OF COMMBICE HOIK
Several Important matters are to
oome baforo the next meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Directors which
will bo called In the near future. The
question of service from the railroads
will come up for tne discussion and
action by the board The question of
Trades Days and Fairs will be discuss-
ed and aetlotk tolative to the course the
board will pursue.
It has been tacitly understood that
Denton is to invite the State Fireman’s
convention to most in this city In
1931 The meeting w'll he held thia
year at Hillsboro and the board will
decide what course the Chamber of
Commerce is to take in thia important
matter.
Other minor matters as well as sev-
eral of more Importance will be dis-
cussed. Among these will be the mat-
ter for a picnic this summer on the or-
der of the one held last year. This mat-

decision arrived at.
On Friday while there were very
few people in the city from the coun-
try there were thit-ty nine different
persons who called at the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce for various pur-
poses. There were no idle callers, but
every on^ who called wanted some-
thing and the County Agent and the
Secretary were kept busy all day at-
tending to the inquiries.
Any one knowing of any exceptional
road conditions will confer a favor by
calling <2 and informing the secretary.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. March
There ie more hookworm In Porto Rico
today than in any other country In the
world, with the possible exceptions of
India and Ceylon, according to Dr. Vic-
tor G. Heleer of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation. Dr. Heiser has offered the co-
operation of the Rockefeller Founda-
tion to the government of Porto Rico
and the Commleeioner of Health in
combating hookworm in the Island.
"Hookworm is probably the most se-
rious economic problem which Porto
Rico faces today/1 aald Dr. Heiser. "I
have asked cane plantere why theydld
not pay more wages and they
becauee the laborers could not
It and probably they are right.”
Dr. A. Rulx Soler. Commissioner of
Health, aald that probably the govern-
ment would accept tne offer of mmlo-
tance from the Rockefeller Foundation
and that a campaign against anemia
would be undertaken. Dr. James B
Grant, alao of the Rockefeller Founda-
tion. who has been here for some weeks
making an investigation of health
conditions In the island will remain for
some time and will, with the co-opera-
tion of Dr. Soler, prepare a plan for
attacking the hookworm problem.
Anemia, which during the Spaninh
rule was believed to be due mostly to
malnutrition, now ie attributed to a
great extent to Infection. It Is believed
that the disease was brought In with
the early slaves and thus spread un-
controlled throughout the length and
breadth of the island.
The government has spent altogeth-
er 1357.000 In bringing relief to the
unfortunate sufferers A survey recent-
ly made by Dr. Grant shows that 90
per cent of the population in rural
areas harbor hookworm infection. Even
light infection with hookworm IS said
to cause mental retardation. Defective
mentality thus produced renders the
children incapaTila of assimilating in-
struction.
It has been found that the bark of
cactus native to Western Mexico
contains enough resin after the death
of the plant to make its utilization
worth while.

The guano birds were enumerated by
Mr. Murphy as the white breasted cor-

specias of gannet By actual computa-
tion of the nests of some of these
birds per metre on one of the islands

Murphy said, the ancient Incas of Peru
highly prized the guano birds and
penalized with death anyone who kill-
ed one. Many of the motion picture
films be brought back, he said, show-
ed the life history of the seabirds as
well as the native fisheries and the
guano Industry.
In the period from 1*40 to 1908. Mr.
Murphy said, many of the birds were
killed off and it Is only in recent years
that efforts have been made to con-

The " wonderful fish and bird life"
of Peru. Mr. Murphy attributed to the
Humboldt Current. a cold body of
oceapic water which flown along 1.100
miles of the coant. He made many ob-
servations of this current, he said, fol-
lowing those of Alexander Agassiz and
Dr. Robert F Coker of the United
Stales Fish Commission, pioneers in
such work. Although Peru's proximity
to the equator, he said, would cause one
to suppose that it might have a tem-
perature like that of Florida its nctual
temperature was more like that of Bos-
ton. Tne result of the interesting corre-
lation between the Humboldt Current
and the abundance of fish and bird
life, he said, he has covered in more
than 500 pages of data. He also brought
with him sixteen cases and crates, in
many of which are specimens of cu-
rious marine and feathered creatuns.
Mr. Murphy called attention to the
guano or fertilizer deposits of Peru,
which, he said, may be doubled by 'he
conservation methods devised by Fraq,-
qJsco Ballen. a Peruvian, who he re-
scrlbed as "one of the moat far sighted
and able economists tn the world." In ..._
furtherance of Mr. Baller.’s plans. th(” day
-explorer setrt. he advocated ’increasing afte
the breeding area of the guano pro-
ducing birds, at present confined to
fifteen islands, the largest of which are
the Chlnchl and Ixibos. and where de-
posits of fertilizer 150 feet in thick
ness have been found.
The valiin of the guano deposits, he
said, was also due to the action of the
