THE LOAN SHARK.

Chicago and Boston after the loan shark. Zach
city reports loan shark interest rates among the highest
to be found anywhere in the country which has
just become public through court action shows that Chi
cago ask compensation for small loans ranging
from 400 to 514 per cent Conditions especially dis
couragng because it is known that many large firms
that their employees in debt to money lenders
take steps to end the practice The paymasters of
concerns even honor claims filed by the loan sharks.
Massachusetts, has for number of years had super
visor to regulate the small loan business But there has
been little supervision and result the number
OF money lenders has increased while the abuses have null
hplied proporonatey In the opinion of Massachusetts,
investigators supervision, without definite limit on the
rate of interest has failed It is proposed enact
specific governing law. Loan sharks in Boston, even
while under the apparent control of the state have
tended their trade by adding to interest charges the
and fines which the borrower must pay. Consequently
the charges allowed are with exception it is said the
highest in any state that has legisated this subject
The result says Boston paper, is that notorious loan
sharks who have been convicted in other states have
taken out licenses in Massachusetts"

A SAFETY FIRST EXHIBIT.

The travelling exhibit of safety first activities and de-
vices, which the government started from Washington
May tour of the country, will be of much value
in illustrating the progress which preventive movements
have made during the last few years special train OF
twelve steel will carry displays by the public health
service the coast guard the bureau of the forest
service the American Red Cross the weather bureau the
and navy department and the reclamation service of
the department of the interior The public health service
will attempt through its exhibit to impress the visitor
the value of sanitation and cleanliness every activity
The coast guard is of course primarily occupied
cues. The bureau of mines has task second to in
mportance-and in results achieved it ranks with the
leaders The forest services work is preventive the Red
Cross teaches first aid the weather bureau observes the
approach of storms and the reclamation service seeks to
prevent floods.
Owing to the general interest manifested in the safety
first movement the passage Of the governments train will
command the attention of cities and towns The rail
roads will cooperate in moving the train They glad
to be of service in this manner for they have been
the foremost in urging safety first The part which they
have taken draws attention to the fact that railroad train

For National Park Service


A bill is under consideration in congress to
establish a national park service. The federal
government owns fourteen national parks with
a total of nearly five million acres, all
der the Jurisdiction of the department OF the In
terror. 1t also owns thirty-one national monu
ments of which nineteen in the departm emit
of the interior, ten in the department of agricu-
ture and two in the war department. Under ex-
listing arrangements there has been central
organization for the administration of these
splendid recreational possessions Each of the
fourteen national parks is under separate
mana cement 1t is very desirable that these
parks be administered through general bureau
at the seat of government in Washington.
There is a constantly increasing volume of
travel to the national parks, and it is necessary
which may furnish reliable information attrac-
parks. Under the existing order Of things very
little systematic work in this direction has been
possible With national park service, equipped
with facilities and a competent corps of workers,
there might be developed q fine bureau OF in
formation, supplying to the general public the
things it wants to know about its parks and
monuments. 1t is to be noted in this connection
that Canada, through its department Of parks,
has thoroughly exploited its several national
parks that during the season of 1915. when there
was such a large volume Of travel through the
West the Canadian parks attracted in the aggre-
gate more visitors than the parks OF the United
States, thus affording fine illustration of what
the government in exploitation of its recrea-
tionaI areas can do

the medical profession in order obtain the best
possible results.
Their principal aim is that wherever possible
men who have become partially disabled through
service at the front be fitted to resume their
former duties where they have acquired valuable
practical knowledge and skill in their work and
no efforts are spared in order have the men re-
turn to activity as speedily possible, before
their limbs have become stifened, thus making
adoption more difficult. The medical practition-
er, as Herr Probst, director of Dusseldorf fac
tory, plainly put it in a recent lecture should to
some extent become an engineer while the works
manager, under whose care the hospital is placed
should acQuaint himself with orthopedy."
This difficult task has been solved in an ex-
emplary manner at the workshops conducted. by
Herr Probst, where Industry hospital has
been founded sort of intermediary stage be-
tween the hospital and the factory, utilizing in
dustrial labor a curative agent for the treat
ment OF patients so that the latter, of their own
accord adapt themselves to normal factory work
The patients received at this unique hospital
are expected to submit to the regulations of the
factory, where they placed under the super.
vision of a sergeant After ascertaining the kind
of work formerly done by each patient, he is
given his present task. The doctor has to fix
the time when the is to commence his du-
ties, the daily work at first starting with a few
hours each day, then half a day and as his
strength and proficiency increase to full day
For hygienical reasons patients at the hosptaI
wear blue-white clothes, and on entering their
task is stimulated by fortnightly pocket-monev
allowance, to be taken of the regular salary maid
out on leaving the hospital. After each DAVIS
work the patients examined by the doctor
