New Mexico Builds Scenic Road Network For Tourists
New Mexico expands secondary highways to connect sparsely settled regions with frontier relic towns and scenic canyons. Gov Dillon's good roads plan is funded by a five cent gasoline tax with motorists from other states contributing. The state improved 1400 miles of secondary roads this year while primary roads gained 400 miles. Revenue from the tax is projected over 1.8 million dollars, funding highway construction after retiring 2.5 million in road debentures.

Prevention of infection important in avoidance of goitre
From Gorgas Memorial Institute, Washington, D. C., Cole and Womack show that certain bacteria can induce thyroid changes in animals similar to toxic goitre without symptoms. Iodine protected the thyroid from infection-related damage, but this does not justify iodine therapy during severe infections due to risk of triggering toxic goitre.

Rheumatism and toxic goitre observations by Billings
A historical report notes rheumatism linked to a series of cases with enlarged thyroid, swelling and tenderness. Some patients developed exophthalmic toxic goitre after the acute phase, others became hypothyroid. Billings links toxic goitre with infections like tonsillitis and dental abscesses and notes tonsil or infected tooth removal cures, though focal infections alone rarely cure the condition.
