upon the last days ot tuberculosis in

this regard. 1t is also TO be considered
that the care Of tubercular patients
IN the last stages Of the disease is
mainly palliative as a preventive. Il
merely prevents distribution by prac-
ticaliy hopeless cases and does not
check earlier processes Of infection.
Il is. despite the enthusiasm of the
tuberculosis press bureau merely a be

into the belief that II is more. The
last days Of tuberculosis in Iowa viii
have arrived when We begin at the be-

THINGS HAVE BECOME NEW.

We are going some. The day which
does not produce its new method may
be counted lost. The worst Of It from
the standpoint Of those OF us who have
preconceived notions and settled con-

ourselves short Of wind in the effort

Putting It Cup To" the Women.
IChicapo Record Herald

Tho they fought for the vote as
yaliantly as their sisters elsewhere
are doing. the women Of California
don't appear to be voting with much
more enthusiasm than the men. Natur-
ally the ants have made the most of
this apathy, pointing in particular to
the utterances of the Mayor of Berke-
ley following recent bond election at
WHICH a proposal to extend the city's
Fairgrounds was submitted to the vot-
ers. The mayor said: -
There is mob violence in some
countries and strindant oratory else
where on behalf Of votes for women.
Here In California we have woman
suffrage, and Berkeley is one Of the
start centers Of that movement. Sure
" adequate playground facilities for
7.000 children is a subject for woman's
thought and vote. and yet, out Of 5000
women voters only about $500 Of them
cared enough to vote on this impor-
tant subject. Where were the moth

RETAILERS IN REVOLT.
TSioux CITY Tribune.1

Indianapolis retail shoe dealers, who
have a good organization. have de-
cliaed TO permit eastern manufacturers
to fix styles for them. but have select
ed a few styles that meet their approval
and have refused to lead up" with the
100 TO zoo different styles which regu-
larry are offered to them by the sales
men from the east.
The argument is that, If merchants
undertake to carry all OF these styles
in stock, 1t means larger expenses. The
step taken is designated by the shoe
dealers as one which viii tend to re-
duce the cost of living. and when a
reasonable number OF styles are SCI
iected by the associations committee,
style sheets will be issued showing the
styles adopted, and the association will
advertise these styles.
The move is one that will be watched
by tradesmen generally with interest,
as it is of more than local significance
economically and may affect other
lines of business.

inside. Motormen are being tested for
fitness, telephone girls are being sifted
thru the psychological sieve. Mr..
Thompson used reaction time tests
in selecting girls for the work OF in
specting fort flaws in the steel balls
used in ball bearings. The final out
come was that thirty-f1ve girls did the
work formerly done by 1870; the &C.
curacy Of the work has increased by
IS per cent; the girls wages were
doubled; the working day decreased
from 1o1r hours to sh hours: and the
profits of the factory increased.
Another set OF psychologists! tests
aims to select positions for persons,
rather than persons for positions. but
not much has really been done In this
field. The difficulties in the way OF
both kinds Of tests may be inferred
from the fact that there are something
like 10000 separate kinds of gainful
occupations in the United States.
When we used to go hunting for a
job or somebody came looking for our
service conversation and sizing up was
the order of the day unless things were
pressing from one side or the other. OF
course when man needs JOB ana

THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.
fN;ryna T.. ole I

There is no question but this law will
be an inspiration to the rural schools
Of the state. Benton county has a
township which would fit TO this law
like charm. II is Polk township. This
township now has twelve independent
rural districts beside that Of the town
of UTbana. The total school tax raised
in that township amounts to an aver
age OF $s,21s. This with the amount
awarded by the state would give Polk
township the best schools in the state
Of Iowa. 1t would we'll repay the tax
payers and school patrons Of that
township to cali pubic meeting to
discuss the subject. No doubt but they
could get the state superintendent or
one of the rural school inspectors TO
attend the meeting and explain the
workings of the law AS 1t is now the
township fritters away the 5000 in
small schools. each school receiving a
trifle over an average of $3.50. 1t re-
quires fifteen teachers TO carry out the
present plan where less than half that
number of teachers would carry out
the ner plan The "o-k G: the schools
could be put in the hands of well
qualified superintendent. There are a
number Of other townships in the
county which could we'll afford to in
vestigate the workings OF this new law.
This law. with other school laws en-
acted by the legislature just adjourned,
marks new era in rural and common
schools of the state. 1t is UP TO the
people vino are Interested Ii the ef.uca :
ton OF their children to investigate the
matter. The state SUPERINTENDENT of :
fice has been changed into depart
ment Of education and will render ali
the aid possible in placing the schools
Of the state upon a broader and better
basis.
The Eagle hopes to see an awaken
ing among the people in school mat
tiers.

FORTY NINE YEARS WORK.

It will be forty-nine years the Zith
OF September, 1918, since We first
furnished copy for the Register. we felt
older than Methuselah did when he
died at "s hundred and 60 and g and
nearly ali the men in business in Mar
ion at that time arranged funeral for
US about once month for fifteen years.
But they are all gone now except Dr.
Hindman and George Cone. II 1t be
true that whom the gods love die early
it is evident that the two gentlemen
named and the writer Of this paragraph
can hardly claim that the gods" have
cared very much for or about US. Seri-
ously. forty nine years Is long time.
but judging by the fact that we don't
know how to be tired or even weary
it is a safe guess that we are about 900
years younger than Methuselah was
when he joined the angels.
