BREAKWATER FOR WHITE
BIRD.

The recent high waters at
White Bird and consequent loss
theretron has caused the enter
prlslng citizens Of that live little
city to take precautionary steps
for the future by the erection of
a breakwater along the water
front.
The funds raised for a 4th of
July celebration, which was later
postponed, have been diverted bv
the consent of all interested to
protective purposes, and other
contributions have swelled the
amount to $232.50. The Sun in
commenting on the important
movement says:
A great deal more money is
needed by the committee and all
who are interested are requested
to see the committee before it is
necessary for the committee to
see them.
The breakwater is to be 400
feet long and will be double log
crib filled with rock. The crib
will be securely anchored and
will be set deep down below the
bottom of the stream. Hog wire
will be placed in the bottom of
the crib, which will hold the rock
IN case the wall is ever under
mined by spring freshets.
Elsewhere in this Sun the com
mittee is advertising for bids for
the logs Of which the crib will
be constructed.

cluded, the lowest figure tllat l know of in institutions giving q high type of care.
 Next Dr. Brown succeeded through the commercial value of the pottery made by the patients. There are no invested funds and no income for the institution except the sale of the pottery and the money paid in by friends of patients who are not well enough to work. Yet now at the end of its first year there is no deficit and no debt.
 But are there no dangers to the girls health in this work? None, I believe, un- der the careful medical supervision which Il ey receive. A trained nurse. herself a patient. works in the shops and watches the effects of the work upon the girls. Each begins with an hours work daily. Her temperatureis Is taken before and after work she is taken away from the shop and not allowed to go back until she can dc so without producing any fever or other signs of over fatigue. The girls are paid by the piece, but few work more than four hours day and none of them on Saturday or Sunday.
 The dangers of clay dust and lead pois- oning are avoided by cleanliness and an abundance of fresh air. The main work room is open on two sides and another work room on four sides. The climate makes it possible to do this work out of doors almost any day in the year.
 Dr. Brown accepts as a rule only in c1pient cases. He has room at present for only 23 patients at time, but here, as in every other sanatorium, it is hard to get them to give up work and face the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-15

right thing for them: just the way to prevent a relapse. But obviously if many girls did this there would soon be no room in the pottery for patients still un- der treatment. Hence Dr. Brown has been forced to turn away girls whom he would gladly keep in the pottery were there room for them.
 This dilemma has suggested to him the building Of large pottery, distinct from the sanatorium work shop, but under the same management. Here the apparently cured tuberculosis patients, the deaf, the partially crippled and other handicapped persons will supply the labor and reap the benefits. pr. Brown has no desire to em- ploy healthy persons and to compete with the industrial world; he wants to con- tinue the experiment of trying to make handicapped people self-supporting and he believes that If the tubereulous can supply the labor of a self-supporting pot tery such as he is now maintaining, it must be possible to get as compentent help from the deaf or from other handicapped people.
 A Utopian project some will say, but is it more Utopian than what has already been accomplished at Arequipa?

task of treatment while still in the early stages of the disease. In the hope of solving the difficult problem of getting hold of the girls before it is too late to cure them, Dr. Brown laid the mater be- fore the organization of employees in some of the San Francisco department stores, and these associations have now estab- lished the precedent of paying at Are quipa the board Of members Of their or ganization who have acquired tuberculosis and are not able to support themselves in the pottery. This sort of connection with the employees of large business concerns is one that is essential so long as the ma jority of doctors cannot or will not rec ognize tuberculosis in it's early stages and cannot or do not persuade patients to un dergo sanatorium treatment.
 I passed a considerable part of three days at Arequipa and during that time never heard c patient cough. l found the buildings of the best and modern type. the table excellent, the patients more cheerful and lively than in any sanatorium that 1 can remember. The pottery that l saw item making was so beautiful that could hardly believe that these unskilled girls could produce It. But to me one of the most impre ssive things about the Arequipa sanatorium is the fact that 1t is the work of one busy doctor who raised the money to build iL--about s25, 000-within q few months and HOW superintends 1t by weekly visit and many telephone mes- sages. The building was started with only $i0,000 in sight yet now at the end of it's first year the institution is in a flourish ing condition, free from debt.
 In deed. it has nourished so we'll that cured patients do not want to leave it, and go back to stenography, telephone operating and housekeeping. They pre- fer to earn their living by making pot tery. Two cured patients are now living in the neighboring village and work daily at the sanatorium pottery. Just the

Phillip King Brown has established at Arequipa, an hour by rail from San Francisco. It sounds too good to be true. l could scarcely have believed it if I had not seen it and lived near it for some weeks. Patients do some work at other sanatoria but what is done at Arequipa is done, so far as 1 know no where else in the world.

brought suit to test the validity OF an
ordinance in that city imposing a
licenee tax N nearly every business

which the city was enabled to collect
about S24.0 600 q year revenue. The
lower court held the ordinance valid:
the supreme court, IN IN opinion by
Justice Smith, holds it is illegal, and
reverses the Judgment.
The court holds that while the
ordinance ostensibly and presumptive-
ly imposed 9 tax in the exercise OF the
police powers Of the municip atty, the
evidence shows that IL vas in fact i'm;
posed for purely revenue purposes and
not for regulation, and that therefore
its collection is illegal.
