100 feet above the nearest tree-tops, the
hospital catches the breeZes from the
north. south. east or west. The slope
gradually descends to an abrupt bluff.
and at the foot of this declivity which is
perhaps forty feet high. runs q narrow,
winding stream.
All this is shown in the little cast which
sits in the center of the room given over
to the naval hospital for its exhibition.
DIR. Wright is constantly behind the
table near the door ready to answer all
questions regarding the work Of the navy
and explain to the uninitiated the meth
DDS now being introduced to aid the sailor
victims. He is a kindly man.. with a keen
eye and prominent chin: a man evident
ly well adapted to the struggle that is
his.
On the table are three treatises. the
principal one being "a Study of Tubercu-
losis in the United States Navy" by Sur
geon General P. NJ. Rixey. One of the
other pamphlets is DR.. Wright's work.
1t contains many charts drawn a his suS-
gestion which thoroughly explain the
present status of the disease and also the
effects physically upon it's victims.
While he is not as yet entirely satisfied
with the work so far accomplished. DIR.
Wright is enthusiastic at the progress
made and an even more promising future

CONSULAR REPORTS
NOT DRY READING

@HE daily consular reports are
usually considered dry read

files develops a mine of mis-
cellaneous information which
can be termed "wOrldwide." Many of
the items making up Uncle Sans daily
are decidedly startling. as. for instance.
the statement that there is a profitable
market in England for "cat-tails.
To be sure, the "cat-tails' are not of
the order felis domestica. but the prod
ucts of ponds and other still waters. The
fact that these playmates of youth are
used for padding or upholstering furni-
ture is convincing evidence Of the world S
progress. And the down" is worth y
cents a pound!
From China comes the intelligence that
old horoscopes are in demand, and the
more they are worn and battered the
higher the price. 1t is claimed by the
Chinese that this class of iron Is the
best obtainable for knives and cutlery,
A peculiar temper is given to the iron. a.

glass telegraph and telephone poles has
been built in Germany. The product is

nate the ravages of insects, as well as to
prevene an increase In the stock of fire
wood for the natives.
Memories of the soap root" faker Of
boyhoOd days is recalled by the fact that
the chairman of the Algerian Agricultu-
raj Society, near Algiers. has succeeded
in cultivating a large plantation of soap
trees. The berries contain three times as
much SOAP" 1t is claimed. as the Pana-
ma wood, and can be used to clean fab
RIGS without affecting the colors.
The compensation Of the textile workers
of Zittau, Germany, where the average
wage is from Sis to 1924 a week Of
sixty hours. is interesting. 1t is stated
that the chief diet of the working class
is bread, butter. margarine. milk. coffee
and potatoes. The German colonial ofnce

Germany meets another extreme in the
fact that at Freiburg free dental service
is given to school children. The dentist
at the head Of the school clinic examines
all the children in the city. and a report
is made to the parents. who are request
