|DR. WILEY DISCUSSES
HEALTH CONSERVATION
More Interest Shown in Do
mestic Animals, He Says,
Than in Human Beings.

DR.. Harvey ". Wiley, chief Of the bu-
reau Of chemistry, Department Of Agri-
culture. addressed a meeting Of the
school Of health conducted by the Dis
trict W. c. T. L., yesterday afternoon
at Wesley Chapel. DR.. Mckinney pastor
Of the church, led devotional exercises,
and Prof. Hamer sang "The Lord Is My
Light
DIR. Patience Bordeau-Sisco of the
Washington Sanitarium introduced DR..
Wiley. His subject was 1.-The Health OF
the Nation The greatest of national
assets. he declared. is the health Of the
nation. If health is of real value it Is
worth conserving. DR.. Wiley's aim is to
excite a general interest in public health.
then conservation will take care of itself.
DR. Wiley asserted that more interest
is shown in the health of domestic ami
mails than in the preservation of the lives
of people. But he told how in recent
years the average life of human beings
in this country has been increased from
thirtythree years to forty years, and
this through increased knowledge OF
proper feeding of infants.
He showed what might be done toward
stamping out typhoid and tuberculosis If
the national and state governments would
make reasonable appropriations to conduct
and the people would Coop
crate heartily in the provisions made as
a result of such Investigations.
AS instances of what may be done in
this direction, DR.. Wiley cited the extirpa-
ton of typhoid in Vienna by the bringing
of a supply of water from the Alps, the
health of the Japanese SOL
diers in the RussO-Japanese war, and the
fact that the Panama Canal Zone has
been changed from a pesthole to a health
resort through the application of chemical
and medical science.
He declared that the failure Of the
French to complete the Panama canal was
not from any lack of interest, courage.
generosity or engineering skill, but from
the lack of the application of medical
science to the determination of disease
along the route Of the canal.

HAWAIIAN ART LEAGUE
ON LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Favors Site on Mall and Is
Opposed to Building
a Highway.

From far Hawaii has come a plea that
the Lincoln memorial be placed on the
site selected by the Mcmillan park COM
mission, on the banks of the Potomac
river west of the Washington Monument.
A resolution adopted by the Kilohana
Art League of Honolulu has been re-
ceiyed by President Taft, chairman of
the Lincoln memorial commission. and
by members of Congress. The resolu-
ton is as follows:
"A site on the Mall recommended by
the Washington park commission in 1902
as the only appropriate and fitting site in
the District of Columbia for a memorial
to Lincoln. and again recommended in
1909 by. the Fine Arts Council, has again,
after careful consideration, been recon-
mended to the Lincoln memorial commits
as the only site commensurate with the
renown of Lincoln
Mall Site Endorsed.
"The site on the Mall, unanimously
recommended by three expert commits
sions. consisting of prominent architects.
painters, sculptorS and landscape archi-
tects, has met the unanimous approval of
artistic societies in America and Europe.
The board OF directors of the Kilo-
hama Art League of Honolulu. most
heartily commend the selection of this
site by the Lincoln memorial commits
sion and by Congress as the site for a
memorial.
I'VE would oppose any proposition TO
change the present act locating the me-
mortal in Washington and would depre-
cate any attempt to divert to road build
ing or any other commendable public en-
terprise the money appropriated for a
Lincoln memorial.
The resolution was signed by Frances
L. Lawrence, president, and Catharine
+. Il. Cox, secretary.

COMP PLAINANT IN
ACTION IS BLIND;
A WITNESS DEAF
Somerset County Man Would
Restrain FreehOlders from
Cutting Down Trees.

Much testimony of a technical ma
ture was taken before Vice. Chancellor
Howell, in Chancery chambers today,
in the injunction proceedings brought
by Augustus J. Brunson against the
Board of Chosen Freeholders of Somer-
set county, to restrain that body from
cutting down long line of fine trees
in front of his property to make room
for the Greenbrook road. It is claimed
by Mr.. Brunson, through his counsel,
Richard V. Lindabury. that the trees
are within the line Of his property, and
the freeholders through County Counsel
Frech, claim that they are not Wit.
nesses, including several surveyors,
swore tc the lines.
While Mr. Brunson is blind, having
been made so through an accident
years ago, one of the witnesses, Wal
ter Richardson, assistant county en-
gineer of Somerset county, Is so deaf
that all questions were put TO him
through an ear-trumpet.
Some fun was unconsciously injected
into the dry proceedings by Charles F.
Devely, who owns a farm opposite the
Brunson property, and was asked on
the cross examination by Mr.. Linda
bury as to certain property owned by
one John Stine. who had a son of the
same name
He was a bachelor" explained this
voluble witness, meaning the son. but
his father wasn't"
Let us hope so,' was Mr. Linda
bury's laconic comment, -amid the
laugh, in which the court Joined.
