UNCLE SAM ON WHEELS
Takes Travelling Shows Through
out the United States.
Government Is Fitting Up New Rail-
road Car Every Year to Carry
Benefits Of Experts Work
to the People.

Uncle Sam believes that while roll
ing stone may gather no moss, roll
ing demonstration produces great re-
suits in the way of increased knowl-
edge, saved lives and righted wrongs.
And he backs up this belief by the pur-
chase every year Of railroad car, fit
ted up to carry his discoveries to every
corner of the United States.
Some six or seven cars he owns now
and an order has just been placed for
another.
Education on wheels seems to at
tract the interest and the plaudits of
the multltudes. The travelling show
has never needed to make strong out
side bid for favor; 1t carries its sue
cess with 1t; people welcome 1t newt
ably. Uncle Sam remembered this.
Also he remembered that he has a
tremendous family Of nieces and
nephews to reach. Why not combine
their inherent curiosity about a show
from "furrin parts" with their need
for enlightenment? The problem was
simple-just a matter Of inOculating a
little seriousness into the show or put
ting some "sure enough" tonic into the
mixture beneath the sugar coating and
inOculating a little novelty into the
demonstrations.
Hence, the federal special" which
were they all coupled together in one
train, would be made up Of car each
from food research laboratory, the bu-
reau of animal industry (both of the
department of agriculture) the bureau
of mines, of standards and of fisheries,
with another, already appropriated
for and soon to be added, from the bu-
reau of chemistry.
The car from the food research IabO-
ratOry demonstrates methods for re-
ducing the appalling $5OOOO,OOO yearly
egg waste.
The wOOl-exhibit car of the bureau
of animal industry shows ranchmen
how to prepare their wool for market
so as to increase their profits.
The fish commission car transports
fishes from the Pacific, from the
Atlantic and from the great lakes
to stock the individual and public
plants Of those who are following the
new pursuit, fish raising"
The bureau of standards car is de-
signed to go about the country testing
track scales on railways and weighing
equipment Of grain elevators and such
establishments where commodities,
destined for the general public, are
weighed in bulk, to see if the measures
conform to standard.
The bureau Of mines car is an ultra
modern emergency kit on wheels which
Is rushed from it's siding by a swift
locomotive and hastened to the scene
of every mine disaster for rescue work.
The newest car, which really is not
yet car, but only an order for one, is
to be a peripatetic laboratory which
will operate in connection with the
pure food act. On the general lines
Of Pullman car, it will be designed
as complete chemical and bacteria
logical laboratory, where the qualities
of food products may be definitely es-
tablished us in any other laboratory.

Marie de Rabutin Chantal, known
to the world as Nine. Sevigne. is sup
posed to have been born in Burgundy,
at the chateau of BcubiIIy, in 1926,
though both date and place are some
what obscure. In 1874 she married
Marquis de Sevigne. Her unhappy
marriage was terminated by the death
of the marquis seven years afterward
in duel. The young widow then de-
voted herself entirely to her children.
When her daughter vas married to
Marquis de Grignan, the consequent
separation caused the correspondence,
which although not intended for pub
licatiOn, made her name celebrated,
for she associated with the principal
actors in the Civil war Of the FrOnde.

Hospitals for Animals.

There is in India a sect called Jains,
one of the articles of whOEe creed is
that men should not only do no harm
to animals, but should protect their
lives and cure their ills. The Jains
have many hospitals where sick and
MANNED animals are tenderly cared
for.
The piOus Jain who meets on the
road a wounded animal stops to take
care of it or receives it into his dwell
ing. The hospital at Bombay Is stu
ated in the center. of the most 1ensely
populated quarter of the "Black
Town" and all visitors are frsely ad-
mitted.

rapid progress of a kind, and more
group activities with slower learn
ing" When we are confronted with
this choice, it is well for US to realize
that the child needs more experience
with the external world, including
other people. This he needs not only
as foundation for the concepts and
distractions and the lofty ideals we
usually value in learning" but he
needs 1t quite as much as a mems Of
getting outside himself. Richar<t gets
from his few months Of kinderEarten
an enlarged vocabulary and an en-
richment of his knowledge about
things. But most noticeable and most
valuable is the fact that he has lost
self-cOnsciousness and has gained in
control Of self in relation to others.
1t, has been found that where chill
dren are given an abundance of con-
crete experience with things Of nature
and of the shop and studies, and with
each other, while the reading and
writing was postponed, they s0on
caught up on the learning side, and
were healthier and happier than the
bOOk-fed children. There are other
ways of learning than the Rs system,
and there are more important things
for the child to get than any book csn
give him. But most important of all,
the book learning serves at it's best on
a foundation of genuine experience
with life's realities.

Uncle Sans Doctors
Urge More Fresh Air

GluttOny is common, accord
ing to a statement issued by the
United States public health serv-
ice, but it has a penalty despite
the fact that it is much con-
doned. Fat inefficiency and the
red nose are two of the results
of gluttony, it is said.
You must spend more of your
time in the open air, warns
Uncle Sans physicians and they
suggest that you be given the
treatment dogs receive when
they get fat and wheezy. The
diet should be cut down and the
Out-Of-dOOr exercise increased.
Dyspepsia, it is stated, is often
cured by work in the open air.
Simple and moderate diet is
urged for United States citizens
as a means for attaining health.

Don't let fmprOmptu hospitality die
out in your home, housewife. Encour-
age your husband to bring his friends
home for dinner and your daughter to
bring her friends to lunch. Keep a
stock Of canned goods always ready on
your shelves and supply Of clean
table linen in your linen closet. and
then you will not feel any qualms about
asking your own callers who stay on
into lunch hours to partake Of your
lunch with you.

business men. The stress has been

thousands Of people busy, and hun
dreds of millions of capital en-
ployed, at something which may be
regarded as largely non-productive.
Yet the country declines to worry

apparent, now that the burden Is
actually upon the community, as it
formerly seemed.

AND THEN, FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Congress is likely to finish its
work in about another week. After
that, politics about the country will
warm up. Politics has its national
headquarters in Washington when
Congress and the Administration are
all on the job, and it isn't Of much
use to distribute it elsewhere. Issues
are making or running day by day
and hour by hour SO long as the
National Legislature is sitting.
A Congress session extending
down to September is sad inter-
ference with the managers of ma
tional campaign; but it has given
them plenty Of time and calm In
which to prepare for what is COM
ing.
If there's to be any whirlwind per-
formance this season it will have to
be put on pretty soon. Complaint
drifts in from all quarters that it is
a listness and uninteresting cam
paign. We guess that before six
weeks from the day of Congress- ad-
journment that complaint will have
been suppressed.
