Introduces Measure
To Provide Dispensaries

PARIS, Dec. 11--Leon Bourgeois has
presented in the senate a bill for es-
tatlisking anti-tuberculosis dispensaries
throughout France.
The situation in regard to this dis
ease has become worse and worse in
the general mortality in France, being
higher than in Germany. Switzerland,
Belgium, and England. The reasons are
bad housing, alcoholism and an aver
sion to open windows. OF the persons
between twenty and thirty-nine years
who die a. per cent on an average are
victims of tuberculosis.
The proposed dispensaries would fur
nish tc infected persons advice. food
and medicine. Ill persons could pass
days at the establishment, and nurses
would visit them and instruct the men,
bers of the family.
Paris already has an establishment Of
this nature. presided over by NJ. Bour-
geois. Between January, 1911, and June,
1918, II treated 1000 cases.

Government Salary

There isn't university graduate in
Washington who wants the position of
laboratory assistant in petrography in
the Department of Commerce. There
was one application for the position. but
when the Civil Service Commission got

matics. German. French. geology. and

Ideal Helper for Women
Dorothy Dix Tells Why Good Housekeeping Magazine Should Appeal hem
Has Backbone and Brains Well Heart and Tear Ducts"

TIME editor of this paper ask
ed me why | am enthu-
siastic over the October
number of Good Housekeeping
Magazine, and why l think that
women should read it.
Because, in my opinion. it ap-
proaches more nearly to the ideal
of the Great Woman's Magazine
than any other publication ever
has before. 1t beats past per
formances even in Good House
keeping
Because il is both entertaining
and instructive.
Because il is womanly without
being womanish.
Because it offers to its readers
a menu that contains good strong
meat, into which they can set
their teeth instead of feeding
them solely on fiubdub sweet
meats
Because IL grapples with the
big. live problems of the day as
well as how to knit pink baby
SoN.
And, finally, and most impor-
tant of all, because it subtly eN-
presses the new note in the great
feminist movement. 1t recognizes
that. while women are still. and
always will be, chiefly concerned
in homemaking and the problems
of the home, they are also vitality
interested in all of the big poliu-
cal and economic problems of the
world.

these Qualities make Good House,

CHILD LABOR IN MILLS.
editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
have been reading with inter
est and approval your articles on
child labor. The elimination of
this class OF cheap labor no doubt
constitutes an economic problem
which requires some care and
thought in the enactment of laws
governing the matter, but l am
firmly convinced that in a few
years the employment OF child la
Dor in mills and factories will
have ceased to exist and will be
looked upon then as we now
look back to the time when wom-
en- had no property rights, ne
groes were slaves, etc.
It is a fine thing that this cause,
together with that OF the equal
suffrage of women. has in its be-
half the powerful influence of The
Georgian and its editorial col
dmns. W. II. s. HAMILTON.

The Hungarian Revolt
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

~ KTY-FTVE YEARS ago be-
y gan the Hungarian struggle
for independence. Under, the
leadership of Kossuth and Bar
thyany they threw down the gage
Of battle to Austria, and though
their struggle failed their brave
fight ELECTED the admiration and
sympathy of all mankind
If ever a revolution was justi-
fled it was the Hungarian revolt
of 1S4S. A great people were being
cruelty oppressed, and on the soil
that had belonged to them from
Of old they found themselves to all
fntents and purposes the slaves
and hirelings of the foreigner.
Inspired by that prince of pa
triots and orators, Louis Eos
suth, they raised the standard Of
revolt, and in battle after battle
beat the Austrians so badly that
the government was about to rec
ognize their independence.
