Port Lavaca, Tex., June 16.—Fire
of undetermined origin completely
destroyed Ace Clary’s new dance
pavilion and bathing resort in an
early morning blaze Saturday. Res-
idents living adjacent to the resort
reported hearing two explosions
which awakened them prior to
breaking out of the fire, about 4
a. m. A dance was held earlier in
the night, and it is believed a care-
lessly tossed cigarette may have
caused the blaze. The loss was
partially covered by insurance, ac-
cording to Mr. Clary.—San Antonio
Express.
Philadelphia police confiscated
million and a half dollars worth of
French sweepstake tickets, but New

A MATTER OF LIFE
AND DEATH
The menace of the drunken driv-
er steadily increases. Too many of
them get off scot-free. We have
foolishly assumed that a man who
is sober for walking purposes is
sober for driving purposes, though,
obviously, nothing could be further
from the truth. Too often, police
surgeons are at fault in making
perfunctory and casual examina-
tions of persons charged with
drunken driving, instead of filling
out the elaborate standard forms,
carefully devised for that purpose
and calculated to withstand the at-
tacks of defense lawyers.
Drunken drivers have got to go,
and the sooner we make up our
minds to it and take the proper
course, the sooner we shall begin to
cut down our intorerable death list.
Political pull too often causes
charges of drunken driving to be
altered to charges of reckless driv-
ing. The whole community suffers
from this perversion of justice.
There are signs, however, that the
public’s patience is at an end. In
some jurisdictions drunken drivers
are getting three-year prison sen-
tences, even though they have in-
flicted no personal injuries. The
penalty seems severe, but, mild
measures having failed, there ap-
pears to be no alternative. We note
with interest that some judges are
carrying out the suggestion made
in these columns that owners of
cars be deprived of their use for an
appropriate period when they have
permitted them to be operated by
drunken drivers. This punishment
has great possibilities for good. Al-
cohol and gasoline simply won’t
mix with safety, and if our young
m n at college will get used to this
fact and take due account of it, they
will have learned one lesson quite
as important as anything in their
university curriculum. Whether or
not they learn it before trouble
overtakes them may make u power
of difference to the folks at home.

Austin, Texas.—Wars have been
lost by generals and won by epi-
demics of rat-borne diseases, ac-
cording to Dr. Haas Zinzer in his
recent book—Rats, Lice, and His-
tory. Texas has more of the disease
that Dr. Zinzer has written about,
typhus fever, than any other state,
according to Dr. John W- Brown,
State Health Officer.
There are two types of typhus
fever—the epidemic or Old World
type, and the endemic tor New
World type, known as Brill's Dis-
ease. In the former the death rate
is very high and in the latter, com-
monly found in Texas, it is very
low. The most cases appear during
the hot months. The rat and mouse
are the reservoirs of this, disease
and it is spread to man by fleas,
lice, or ticks that have fed on an |
injected rat. The cycle being rat-
flea-man.
The symptoms of typhus fever
are very similar to those of typhoid
fever, except the course of typhus
is generally two weeks. The onset
of the disease is usually sudden
with chills, fever, headaches .and
general body pains. Nausea may be
present. The fever rises rapidly to
a maximum of 105 degrees. There
is also a redish mottling of the skin
and a hacking cough is generally
present.
Typhus fever could be prevented
by the eradication of rats and mice.
This would not only result in the
prevention of much suffering but
woild be of great economic value
as it is estimated that the damage
by rodents amounts to about twelve
million dollars annually in Texas.
