RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where the United States Is Behind

The plan for establishing state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-
ton to the backwardness of the new
world in two important matters, the
relief of honest men out of employ.
ment and the suppression of Migrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pri-

cities, there would be absolutely moth

of his native land. Even a French.
men, whose country is overrun by
vagabonds, can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness of from 65 per cent. to seven
per cent of all workingmen. The
idea of allotting small gardens to men
out Of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1918; to-day
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The
environs of Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmens
Garden Society to the unemployed,

WELSH : a: LOUISIANA
The War on tuberculosis.

The economic as well as the hui
manitarian side of the question was
well considered at the international
tuberculosis congress in Washington.
The impressive statements showing
that at the rate prevailing millions OF
persons are destined to die Of the dis
ease were supplemented by figures
bearing upon this aspect of the case.
Among those who spoke was Homer
Folks Of New York state, whose long
Identification with public charities and
other phiIanthropic work makes him
qualified witness. In the course of
an address on effective control Of III.
berculOsis Mr. Folks said: The cost
Of tuberculosis to the people of the
state Of New York is variousy esti-
mated at from $15,O0O,OO0 to $4,000
600 year. The prevention Of tuber-
culosis, as an economic and educa-
tional problem, is an entirely feasible
and workable program. In fact, it is
much less difficult and much less ex-
pensiye than many other movements
which have been successfully carried
out" The economic loss mentioned is
in the shape of producing capacity
sacrificed through the ravages of the
ailment. Laying aside all other con-
siderations, says the Troy On. "
Times, here is great waste that can be
prevented and the recent impetus
given to the work Of checking tubercu.
losis means not only the saving of
many lives, with consequent happiness
in a corresponding number of homes,
but decided increase in the material
wealth of the community.

Tune Kermit WhistIed,

Mr. w. W. Miller, a well-known law
yer, tells an anecdote of Kermit Roose-
welt, the presidents son.
II was acting as steward" says Mr.
Miller, in some gymkhana races at
Oyster Bay few weeks ago, and one
of the events was race in which the
contestants had ia ride a given dis
lance to certain spot where an equal
number of young ladies stood with
pencil, paper and envelope. Each
rider had to dismOunt here and WhiS-
tie tune, the lady writing its name
down on the paper. She then had to
seal it up in the envelope and hand
it to the rider, who remounted and
finished the race, delivering the en-
velope to the judges stand. The first
one in with a correct answer won the
event.
LAS steward, | was deputized before
the race to write down the name of
