mains Ill my mind so filled with
recollections of Clara Barton that it
is difficult to select those most
appropriate for this article. Arriv-
ing at the Parker House in Boston,
l met her by the elevator on her
way to the business meeting of the
National First Aid Association, of
which she was president, and she
urged me to accompany her at
once to the meeting. l was i'm
pressed by her appearance of rad
liant happiness. Happiness is at
tractive in any person, but it, is
impressive when genuinely express
ed by woman eighty-six years
old enthused by benevolent pur-
pose and success. In declining,
with appreciation, the invitation
which she urged, l stated that it
would seem at least discourteous
for me to attend such a meeting in
my travelling suit. She was SUI
perbly and tastefully gowned, and
l intended to convey my observa-
ton of this fact to her without
mentioning it to her. She quickly
perceived my intention and replied:
"Oh, this isn't all 1 have, and 1
would be glad to loan you any
thing if you will come. -
In the evening occurred the an
nual banquet of the National First
Aid Association Of America at the
Parker House. The work of this
association was initiated by Clara
Barton. Its intent may be briefly
stated by quoting from her address
a comparison of conditions when
its aim shall have been reached
with those which were met by the
Red Cross workers, of which she
spoke first. They live over again
the terrible fields of woe where the
sufferers suffered, and the dying
died where, in the moment of
CONSERVATION paralyzing the whole
land, they stood, the vanguard of
order and relief, till other help
could reach. Did our methods
fail Let the swollen Ohio and
Mississippi, Johnstown, the Sea
Islands, Armenia, and Galveston
make reply. But this
was all to be done over and over
again, and no one the wiser, no
one knowing any better what to do
than before this WAS First Aid.
n Think, friends, what it
would be, what it WILL be, when
all the rough sturdy men of danger,
living every hour in the face of
accident, shall know whatNto do in
a moment for his writhing com
panion in toll when the homes =
the children in the streets and in
the chools - shall all possess the
knowledge which this method of
human benehcence teaches this
is First Aid. F" At this banquet
there were present the officers of
the association, representatives Of
railroads, Young Mems Christian
Associations, the Salvation Army,
medical societies and others. Clara
Barton presided, and responses
were given to various toasts,
among them one from Sam Walter
Foss, concluded with his we'll
known poem, " The House by the
Side of the Road. " Observing
this remarkable woman who had
organized, and was still directing,
so many lines of helpful work, i
did not wonder that she had been
universally honored, even by the
rulers of many nations but more
than by her ability, l was affected
by the absolute simplicity which
she always maintained, and by
her statement, which no one could
doubt; Above all else | value
friendship. | would let all else go
rather than lose friend. ="

To 10 Rounds, Other Changes

AS a result of unanimous
vote of the club members, the di-
rectors of the Tacoma Athletic
club last night voted to lengthen
the contests in the future to 10
rounds, and it is possible that at
the next smoker one or two con-
tests, if the men are in condition,
will go this length.
The vote of the club members
was like the roar of a cannon
when the questio nwas put at the
last meeting. Several requests had
been made the directors to length
en- the bouts, but they feared to do
so without putting 1t before the
club. There was not dissenting

Cost of Living Compared

MT. Alberti has just published in Italian at Trieste study of the move ment of prices and salaries in 1911. He shows that the rise in prices in IA years has been greater in the United States than elsewhere. Using a base figure of 100 he finds that prices have risen to 132 per cent here, while in Italy they fell to 87 and stood in Eng land at 120. Prices went up here 4e per cent; in England, 26 per cent; in Austria, 22 per cent, and in Belgium 22 per cent. And yet this country is the country of origin of much of the food of the world, and of nearly all of the commercial crop of cotton.
 It appears from MT. Alberti's tables that the increased cost of living in this country is largely due to rent. Rent went up to 207, while food rose to 13S, carrying all costs of living to 152. In England all costs stood pat at 100 during IA years, while in Belgium they fell to 94. In some of the other European countries all costs, however, went up, and in none of them are wages so high as they are here.
 MT. Alberti cannot understand why in this primary market of so many of the first necessaries of life the cost of living is so high He had not studied, it is plain, the Aldrich-Payne tariff and the trusts and monopolies that are ex- plotting the consumers behind the tar if wall.

National Board of Health

President Taft is to be heartily commended for stressing the impor- tance of establishing national bu- reau of health. In his address before the fifteenth annual congress of Fly giene and Demography, in session at Washington, he pointed out some of the practical advantages that might result from having such a bureau. At tending the congress are men eminent in the medical profession, and well known for their hygienic specializa- tion. The papers read and the dis cussions generally have been stimulat- ing and far-reaching.
 We should have had federal health bureau years ago. A United States marine hospital service has been main tained by the government from early times, and the surgeon general in charge of sanitary work has usually been, and is today, a highly capable man. But with the growth of this government, and with the increase of it's outlying responsibilities, federal health bureau should be created. No division of the governmental machin- cry at Washington would be capable of doing more work in the cause of humanity. President Taft gave a good idea of some Of the larger things the bureau would accomplish when he said:
 Our responsibilities in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and now on the Isthmus of Panama, have so en- larged our Knowledge of the possibili- ties of the success at first pictured of sanitation under the most burdensome condition that it nowadays impresses the laymen and professor at all famil- far with the conditions of the neces- s.ty for more rigid and comprehensive health laws and stricter enforcement of the q%arantine.

A DANGERS SHOES

From the New York Tribune.
 Customs inspectors on the Cunard pier were somewhat surprised on examining a trunk of Thomas Russell Palmer to find nothing but shoes.
 MT. Palmer, who was a passenger on the Caronia, stood quietly by while the inspector looked for something other than shoes
 "Got anything else in this trunk?" asked the inspector.
 No, sir" replied Palmer, ''only shoes; there should be 12T pairs
 What are they, samples?' asked the inspector.
 Not at all. They are all new re- sponded Palmer.
 'sAre you in the shoe business?'
 NO" said Palmer, casually. I'm toe dancer; the best male toe dancer living These are my stock in trade. I seldom wear pair more than three times dance so violently the toes are ruined after three dances.'' The inspector shut the trunk lid and ad mitted the shoes duty free.

High Class Musicales

"A season ticket costs only s5 and it admits two persons to each recital. No high class music could be within the reach of the public at so little cost. I am told that while many persons have subscribed and paid for their tickets, there are still 40 or 50 tickets left.
 '"rhe musicales will be given at the Jefferson theatre, as heretofore. and the sale of season tickets is limited to the seating capacity of the parquet and the boxes. It is hoped that by the first week in October all the tickets will have been sold, so that the committee in charge of the concerts will be able to close con- tracts with the artists, with whom ne- gotiations are now pending.
