LECTURES ON SOCIAL VISION
TO PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
DIR. james Buchanan Delivers Fifth OF
Interesting COurse mt Asno-
cInted> Cnhrftiea.

The fifth Of an exceedingly interest
Ing and profitable series OF lectures was
given yesterday morning at s:45 o'clock
in the lecture-room Of the Associated
Charities by Dr.. James Buchana to
Mrs. Jane b. Ranson's elias in public
health nursing. DR.. Buchanan is not
only a veteran in social service work.
but is probably the best-informed
man in the city along this line, and
for this reason he was selected TO make
this series of lectures to the class
which is taking Mrs. Ranson's six
weeks course Of instruction in public
health nursing.
This course was offered free by the
State of Virginia TO all graduate nurses
who were interested In this phase of
selves OF the opportunity and DR..
Buchanan has given them the further
opportunity OF observing at first hand
numbers of cases which are under the
supervision of the Associated Chart
ties. These cases are then taken up in
detail in the lccturc-room and serve
to illustrate the various problems pre-
sented in social work.
The theme of all the lectures has
been 1.-THE Social Vision" The social
side of public health nursing naturally
considers five forces. argues DR.. Buch-
anan. These five forces are CD moral.
90 educational, CD economic, 60
health. and CD philanthropic. To study
the social forces at work in a
community and to know the in
dividual family in all it's relation
ships is the first duty of the social
worker. and the great necd Of the So
cial worker is that of social vision TO
be able to correlate these various
forces. Yesterdays lecture dealt par
ticularly with the philanthropic side of
the work of the public health nurse,
who necessarily must acquire the So
cial vision.
DR.. Buchanan illustrated by cases
in point what he terms the social con-
science at work in ameliorating exist
Ing conditions In a community. From
his long experience with the philan-
thropic forces operating in the city of
Richmond. his lecture was n clarifying
exposition of all the pros and cons of
a situation where there is much philan-
thropic activity along widely varying
lines.
In expressing her appreciation OF the
lecture. Mrs. Ransom stated that it had
been a wonderful opportunity for her
class to learn at first hand something
OF what they might be expected to en-
counter In their work in different sec
lions OF the State as public health
nurses. who needed more than all else
the social vision In relation to their
work as nurses, they being of neces-
sity a distinct factor in the uplift
OF the community in which they we're
employed.

The Garden a Medicine cbss.

Every man who has kitchen garden

looked upon it as such. In the onion,
for example, he has sulphur oil which

sicians hold is a valuable anodyne for
rheumatic" pains. There are certain

contains iron. Cabbage is highly re-
garded as a preventive and corrective
of scurvy and scrofula. The compost
ton of the tomato is chemically so
subtle that it is not yet fully under
stood, although several active prin-
ciples have been isolated and names
have been given to them. Thus the
man who eats freely of vegetables is
taking medicine without paying for a
prescription and without being both
cred by the high cost of drugs. In the
normal individual the instructive appe-
tite automatically regulates the size of

is INDEMNITY PREFERABLE?

Would you rather pay indemnity
to Germany than divide your savings
with Uncle Sam for the humiliation
of Prussianism and the wiping out
forever of the curse of war?
It is up to you right now to take
your choice. You will have to do
one or the other. There is no es-
cape.
This war and our part in it isn't
n theory or a dream. 1t is a grim
fact. We have taken up the Pru-
ssian gage of battle. Our hat is
in the ring our soldiers on the way
to the trenches. We must either
win or lose. And losing we must
pay the penalty.
For If Germany is triumphant the
United States will have to furnish
the bulk of the staggering indemnity
Prussianism will demand. The all
led nations Of Europe will have moth
ing left with which to pay. The
bankrupt For a century to come
their people will be tax-oppressed to
wipe out the war debt already in
Cured.
America, which war has made the
worlds treasure trove, will be called
upon to foot the bill. And that will
mean taxation raised to the nth pow
er for every mothers son Of us.
You may dodge your obligation now
If you will, but in so doing you are
only putting off the day of final set
tlement. And it will have to be
made at last with interest many
times compounded.
The fight is on our hands. We
should not make it half-heartedly OF
half prepared. We should go into
it with the spirit of '76, to do or to
die and loaded for bear"
None Of us wants America to be
paying indemnity to Germany for the
next fifty years. No one wants tc
see America humbled by or subser.
Went to any foreign autocracy. The

SELECTING SEED CORN

Immature, frost-bitten corn is not
the kind the farmer expects to get
from the seed he plants in the spring,
yet that, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, will be the nature of the har-
vest this Fall on many farms in the
corn belt. Corn generally is late, too
late in fact to reach proper maturity
before freezing temperatures come.
This situation emphasizes the impor-
lance of selecting seed in the field
from early maturing stalks. There
is too much of tendency on the part
of the AVERAGE farmer to select the
lar~e fine appearing ears of corn for
seed, usually making the selection af-
| ter husking time when the corn is be-
| ing cribbed or in the spring from the
crib. This larpe corn is longer in ma
turing and gradually BRING the crop
later in the season. The thing that
should be done is to use smaller ears.
taken from stalks that have fully ma
tured in the season of average length,
even though one does not get such
i big ears or quite so manv bushels per
acre. 1t is merchantable corn and
! high feeding value that is wanted
anyway instead of bushels per acre.
1t is our belief that farmers have
been paying too much attention to
selecting show corn for seed rather
than real practical utility corn. A
large full ear, one that conforms to
the ideal may produce corn so late. in
maturing that it has little market
value. Too many farmers have been
sending to the South of them for seed
corn, that is bringing seed from a
section that has longer growing pc
rod to one where the season is short
er and this tends to immaturity.
More attention must be paid to get
ting corn that will ripen fully in the
shortest growing period of the section
rather than the longest. This is some
thing for farmers to think about. Tc
our mind it is a question of supreme
mportance-Farmer's Guide.

CONSERVE PORK BY


With a gradual but certain dimin-
uation of our meat supply in proper
ton to the population, the soaring
prices for live hogs the foreign de-

find it not only highly profitable, but
a patriotic duty to conserve the

POWER FROM THE SUMS HEAT
Scientific Records Show That Efforts
to Utilize Old SoI's Rays Date
Back to 1915.

Scientific records show that at
tempts to utilize the heat of the sun
date back to De Caux, who in 1915
undertook some solar work, and includ-
ed the experiment of Button, who in
1747 succeeded In setting fire to a
tarred plank by solar rays reflected
from a combination of fiat mirrors at
a distance of $50 feet. He did this to
show the possibility of the legend that
Archimedes thus set fire to the fleet
Of Marcellus at Syracuse in 212 B. @.
One handicap, so far, has been the
fact that the efficiency of solar en-
gines has not been over 4.32 per cent
Of the heat value received, while that
or the ordinary steam engine is about
11.5 per cent, and the gas engine as
high as 25.5 per cent. 1t appears,
nevertheless, that with experiments
lasting over a number of years
through which the coal-fed steam boil
ers have been improved, sun boilers
will be brought to a far better state
supported by recent experiments con-
Quoted at Meadi on the Nile river, sew

Of five 205-foot boilers placed on edge
and in the focus of five channel-shaped
mirror refectors Of parabolic cross
section, tOtaling an area of 1929 feet.
The maximum quantity of steam
produced was II pounds per 100
square feet Of mirror surface ex-
posed to the sun, and the maximum
thermal efficiency of the mirrors was
4O.1 per cent. The maximum output
for an hour was 55.5 brake horse
power, a result about ten times as
large as anything previously attained
and equal to SO brake horsepower per
acre Of land occupied by the plant.

What a War Loan Is

A great war loan is simply the
device by which we are able, with
the least inconvenience and disrup-
ton of our national machinery, to
sift whatever portion of it is need
ed from its ordinary work into the
work OF fighting. 1t does not rep
resent, save partially, an actual
transfer of cash; it is a credit oper
alton, whereby subscribers to the
loan turn over to the Government,
for use in its wa1 program for the
general benefit, part of the credit
machinery at their disposal, which
they would otherwise have en-
p1oyed in procuring things for
their individual benefit. Viewed in
this way, the six or seven billions
Of war debt can fairly be compared
to the $3.50, 600, 900 900 of productive
wealth Of the United States. It
amounts only to fraction of the in
come from that S230,0O0, ,00G 900,
and, consequently, even If it repre-
sented a total loss-which it does
not by any means-it would be a
loss that we might fairly expect to
bear.
