Social Workers n their final meeting
of the summer yesterday in the blue

ISOLATION Mn Blakcy said that the
public schools could not adequately
care for them. since they are intended
10 meet the needs Of the vast majoriy
OF children who do not require the
strict supervision OF the lesser number
OF incorr'Eihlcs.
AS a teacher of wide experience the
speaker said. he had noticed that chill
dren who are deficient naturally divide
themselves into three groups. those
who drop out Of school after short at
tendance, thos" who are truant. and
those who are unmanareahle An ade-
quate compulsory education law. he
thinks, would in some measure relieve
the situation presented hy the first two
groups, but moro drastic measures are
necessary to eliminate the trouble
caused by The third group.

PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

(By JAMES MIDDLETON. in Worlds
Work.
About two years ago Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave diplomatic din
ner in Washington, distinguished par
ticularly by the absence of wine. I'M
mediately the world burst into a roar
Of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration of American provincialism.
A few months ago the king of England
announced that he would himself abb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
Of the war, and that wines would no
longer be served In any Of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for.
bidden the manufacture and sale of
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause of antialcoholism has made
in less than year. When the leader
Of the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example of our
own somewhat homespun secretary of
state, the cause of teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

THE SOCIALIST VIEW.

The special committee appointed b,
the Socialists year ago to study the
liquor problem says in its report, pre-
sented May 13 to the national commit
tee in Chicago that total abstinence
Is the only absolutely safe and wise
course to pursue" in view of the dis
astrous effects Of excessive drinking.
Many Of the authorities quoted in
the report in condemnation Of beer
are German. Among alcohols recorded
opponents are 500 German and Aus
trian doctors. One statement is that
beer is not the harmless beverage
many Of the German people think It
is."
"The Socialist party" declares the
report, cannot remain Indifferent or
inactive, but should take definite po-
sition and active part in combating
the evils Of alcoholism"

METHOD USED BY BOY SCOUTS
Employs Far More Efficient Plan Of
Artificial Respiration Than the
Old-Fashioned Practice.

The competent Boy Scout can give
the average bystander practical
demonstration in the resuscitation Of
the apparently drowned these days.
And he doesn't subject the victim to
the risk of dislocated arms or frac-
tured ribs in the effort either. for the
Boy Scout is taught a simpler, more
easily applied and far more efficient
method Of artificial respiration than
the old-fashioned practice of working
the subjects arms and pressing on
the ribs.
OF course. a pulmotor would be q
fine thing to use II one were at hand.
but meanwhile every one should know
and be ready in an emergency to ap-
ply the method of artificial respira-
tion used by Boy Scouts. writes VIII
liam Brady, M. D., in Chicago News.
1t is performed as follows:
Place the subject prone on the
ground or on any fat surface-that
is to say, "on his stomach"-with the
palms of his hands on the ground be-
side his head and his face turned to
the right or left. Now kneel beside or
astride his hips and press directly
downward upon the lower ribs above
the small Of the back, by simply rock.
ing the weight Of your body forward
on your rigid arms. This movement
forces air land water IL there be any
out of the subjects chest. The next
movement is still easier-simply re.
lease your pressure and lean back and
wait few seconds; the natural elias
ticity of the chest will then cause suf-
ficient rebound or expansion to draw
in fresh air.
Repeat this maneuver at the rate Of
eighteen or less times per minute by
the watch. and you may be sure that
no other known means, unless It be
the pulmotor machine. will offer the
drowned person such good chances Of
recovery. Never give up your efforts
within half an hour. no matter how
hopeless the case may seem.

Making the Rock Garden.

The rock garden, to be successful,
must be along the lines approved by
nature. 1t must not, in any point,
resemble piece Of masonry or other
formal construction, says writer in
the Minneapolis Journal. The most
satisfactory location for it is at the
foot of Q gentle slope, where 1t can
climb the declivity and the rocks be
given tho appearance Of jutting out
from the hillside. But very excellent
results may be achieved on fat sur
faces II 1t is remembered to let the
rocks appear to crop out on the sur
face rather than appear to be placed
there for purpose. The rock garden
should have its highest point or be-
ginning at some natural or artificial
boundary--a wall, or better still, a
clump Of trees and shrubbery, which
will serve to mask its origin. From
this vantage point 1t may extend in
a natural way to the limits marked
out for It; here an isolated bowlder,
here group Of less pretentious stones
and again group Of large stones
may find room in their pockets for O
small tree. The extent may be two
or three rods in width at one end and
gradually narrow until at the other 1t
becomes an occasional rock on the
lawn.

II was some time after SNOWFALL

dog was dancing around a tree and
seemed to be barking at something in
the tree. On the fence sat Nina Kit.
ten with her back bumped up and
looking very fierce, but the dog did
not look at her.
SNOWFALL hurried to the tree, for he
half suspected what had happened.
and there sat Pun on limb looking
very much frightened. SNOWFALL few
at the dog and drove him away, for all
the dogs in the neighborhood stood in
fear Of him. Then he jumped TO the
fence beside Nina Kitten.
Miss Nina" he said, very sweetly.

home"
= Nina Kitten hung her head and
looked very shy. Then she smiled and
said: "Oh. thank you so much. Mr..
SNOWFALL! was SO frightened"
SNOWFALL helped her to the ground
and then he said: "It is such lovely
day. don't you think we might hunt
for catnip? can assure you that no
dog will molest you while am here"
Nina Kitten said she should feel
quite safe anywhere with SNOWFALL,

And that is why the W. c. T. u. and

bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and its malignant effects upon

those effects the Life Extension insti.
tute says In published statement:
"One-half Of one quart of beer is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory.
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition Of simple figures. This mar.
cotic or deadening influence is first
exerted on the higher reasoning pow
ers that control conduct, so that the
lower activities Of the mind and nerv.
GUS system are for a time released.
The everyday. well-poised, self-con-

and the primitive man temporarily

system is narcotized. and the drinker
becomes sleepy. Muscular efficiency

Many Factors Affect Cost.

Certain preliminary estimates given
In connection with this series Of house
plans are necessarily subject to
change. For instance, digging a cellar
in rocky, hilly ground would cost more
than the same job might cost else
where. Materials vary in cost as in
dividual tastes differ Most Of the
houses shown in this series have
been built about Boston. The esti-
mates given, therefore, are of actual
costs. Do not neglect, however, to
