AIMS AND OBJECTS OF
OF PHYSICAL EXAMINATION

Safety First" the monthly bulle-
tin issued by the Nevada Consolidat-
ed Copper company. devotes a por-
ton of the editorial section OF the
current number to the subject OF
physical examination of employees,
which is reprinted in full in this is
sue of the News. AS stated in the
Safety First" editorial, the physical
examination of employees is something
to which all. large employing compa-
MES are devoting much time and
study, as it is believed to be as much
of a safeguard for the man who
works as for the man who employs
him. Life insurance companies are
extending the practice to include for
their policy holders examinations at
frequent and stated intervals, at the
expense of the company, thereby
keeping in close touch with the ply
steal welfare of clients, while the eli
ents themselves benefit from the OPP
p~ortunity to know whether or not
disease of any sort is getting a foot
hold. The railroads have long re-
quired physical examinations, as the
duties and responsibilities are OF a
nature requiring as nearly 1000
. physical and mental perfection as
can be ascertained. Other companies,
aside from the railroads, see in the
physical examination, a mean of
better safeguarding life and proper
ty, and the requirement is being in
corporated as part and parcel of the
safety departments.
The railroads naturally go into the
subject in a pretty thorough and
pa~instaking manner, and the examin-
ations as a consequence are more or
less severe, in the search for defects.
The Nevada Con. examination calls
for foul tests. viz, Cd acuteness of
vision; CD color perception; CD
hearing test; ca general physical
examination. In this survey there
would seem to be nothing other
than which would rebound to the
benefit of the men who are working.
1t Is not in any sense severe"
and after 1t Is taken the subject will
have a good idea as to his physical
condition, and whether there is any

an exchange. What's the hurry? In
cur opinion every home would be the
better for two babies, n boy and
enc girl. 1t is not just clear how the
family or the world would be made
better by increasing that number.
Where is the crying demand for
more people? Would It not be far
better to limit the output and raise
the quality? How many people are
really a success at raising children
anyhow. particularly if we allow
their neighbors TO be- the judges?
This indiscriminate and unlimited
bringing children into the world is
a serious business and the conditions
under which thousands of children
are born and reared constitute a
moral a~rraignment of parenthood
that is awful to contemplate.
What parents need is not to be
urged to the multiplication of child
rem, but to be awakened to the re-
sponsibility of bringing unconsulted
souls into this world in any but the
most perfect environment. Quality
and not quantity. is what is wanted
fering for the lack of good people
The mere multiplication of members
has no element of redemption, for
real virtue lies in limitation. Very
few people are fit to raise large
families. Two or three children
often prove too many for many peo-
pie, and many are not fit to have any
at all.
What should be advised in this
matter is a little applied wisdom in
marriages, a little cleansing at the
fountain. more fitness in parents
There is really no basis in morals,
utility or duty, in the clamor for
large families. The interests of the
children, which is the paramount in
terest. suggest limitation rather than
multiplication.

Pickle Acreage Gruwlne

1t begins To look as if Wash
burn will htve a pickle sailing
station this season. The pickle
acreage is still growing and many
of the farmers Of this section are
interesting themselves in the
proposition.
The movement for pickle
sailing station in this city was
started few weeks ago when
representatives of the II. j.
Heinz company was here and
held a meeting with farmers at
the Commercial Club. Since that
time Mr.. M. j. Markley, acreage
manager, has been spending con-
siderable time among the farm
ers, getting their contracts and
selecting the best land suitable
to the growing of cucumbers.
Mr.. Markley has found that
the land surrounding Washburn
is ideal for the growing Of
picking cucumbers and it is eX-
pected that he will have no diff
Guilty in securing the required
number of acres for a sailing
station.
The pickle proposition is a
good thing for the farmers OF
this district for the growing of
cucumbers for picking purposes
has been found to be a profitable
cash crop for the farmer. The
pickle company agrees to take
all cucumbers grown by the
farmers and therefore the farm
er will have a market for his
entire crop.
The contracts now being drawn
are made to cover the 1915 crop
and the company feels SO certain
that the farmers will be more
than satisfied with the crop the
coming season that they are
willing to spend the money in
establishing a station in this
city.
Farmers who are interested in
the proposition of having a salt
ing station located in Washburn
can obtain facts regarding the
same at George f. Morgan's
office or at Amos Hansen's store.
