Of Relatives and Friends
of Boys in Training
for Army.

DeS MONIES, Ia, Nov. o.-(ope-
ciaD-Saturday was the first day TOR
a month that Camp Dodge visitors
could get into the cantonment with
out a pass. From to o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon and from 8 a. m. to
5 p. m. Sunday anyone will be ad-
mitted to the big cantonment. Mill
tary police are predicting an unpre..
cedented rush of relatives and
friends into the camp now, that Wis
itors are thus permitted to enter the
camp.
Soldiers Wife Wounds Self.
When police officers answered
call to ~ Third street Saturday
they found Lena Egan, wife OF
Frank Egan, Camp Dodge soldier,
had shot herself through the fleshy
part of her left thumb with So
caliber revolver. The police said
Mrs. Egan admitted having quar-
relied recently with her husband, but
that she denied any suicidal intent.
She explained that she was replacing
the cylinder in the gun when it was
accidentally discharged.
Machinists May Strike.
Machinists employed in the rail-
road shops of the Des MONIES Union
station threatened to walk out Sat-
urday. The trouble arose over back
pay, said to be due them since Janu-
airy |, as the men claimed the recent
increase granted them was retroac-
tive. Over 100 men did quit work
and went to the Trades assembly
hall, where they held a meeting.
Word reached them that the checks
were received and the men went
back to work at noon.
Woman Candidate Dies.
Mrs. Myrtle Curyea, republican
candidate for county recorder of
Kossuth county, died suddenly at
her home in Algona after a three
day illness with Spanish influenza
Two years ago her husband died,
leaving her to support four children
She made her husbands livery bust
ness a success and then came out
for recorder. 1t is reported from
there that she was practically as
sured of success.
Many Applicants.
More than 100 men here filed ap-
pllcation with Capt. J. F. Tallman
in two days for entrance into the
officers training school at Camp
Fremont, Cal, which opens Deem
Der |. Iowa is to enroll 420 men
with a possible 10 per cent over en-
ro!lment The men include many
above draft age, successful business
men, anxious to get the military
training even though a commission
might not be forthcoming at the
end of the course. Married men,
whose wives or families have in
comes or can be self-supporting, are
among the applicants.
Municipal Waterworks Fight
City ownership of the waterworks
10 duVoIdttu ny Colllllllttc VI Tie
Chamber of Commerce here, which
has been investigating the question
of fire protection. Alex 'Fitzhugh,
chairman of the committee, declares
that "the fundamental problem with
which the city has to deal, is to Sc
cure an adequate water distribution
system. The city will probably
never have adequate fire protection
until the waterworks are publicly
owned"

OF being able to give the matter attention

HEALTH AS A COMMODITY

DUBLIC health is purchasablc, says Iii
rector Krusen, a formula very different
from that OF the Organization, which is
that this commodity is for sale TO the
highest bidder. Our health is sold. and
We are sold every day. The March winds
arc driving the infected dust hills of the
streets into our bronchial tubes again and
the threat of summer looms on the hori.
Zon. The names of our organs arc coming
to mean not parts OF the body, but dis
eases. If you ovcrhear man speak Of
his lungs you feel sure he must be talking
about pneumonia or consumption.
One of the chief reasons for the driving
of the 1917 death rate above that Of 1916
is said to be the increase in hazardous
war work in and about the city. But as
the mortality among infants was especially
high ii is probable that the controlling
factor was the victimizing Of those too
little to defend themselves The jump OF
10 per cent in child invalids is a municipal
disgrace. Moral claims" upon the Citys
treasury have been the theme of some dis
eliminating legalism. Doctor Erusen's is
"A voice crying in the Organization wilder
ness for moro money for the very real
moral claim that the future citizens would
make, II they could speak, upon the citys
purse

THE STATE CAPITOL CASE

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public LEDGE:
Sir--Burton Alva konl<lc writes 10 the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER that he doesn't see
why "Historicus' cannot enjoy both the
autobiography Of Governor Pennypacker and
that Of John Morley But Mr. Konkle's letter
was written before The second letter of His
toricus' was printed. Doubtless Mr.. Konkle
sees now.
Governor Pennypacker's book. "The Pro-
fanation and Dissertation of the Pennsyl-
yania Capitol can be seen in any of the
city libraries As I happen to know, the
leading lawyers OF Pennsylvania from Pitts
burgh TO Philadelphia and from Mason and
Dixon's line to the northern tier, among
them David T. Watson, of Allegheny whom
Governor Pennypacker thought to be one of
the three ablest Pennsylvanians In his time
gave to this thorough analysis OF the charges

TEACHERS DISCUSS
"SCHOOL SURVEY"
The Physical Strain of Teaching.
Compensation Inadequate-Sar-
casm Provoked by Taxable"

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
sir--lt is very difficult to remain calm
in answering "Taxablos' letter, but I shall
try to control my indignation at his re-
marks. II Taxable" thinks there Is no
physical strain In standing up from $50 10
3, with p brief period for luncheon. let him
try it on "A close, murly. cloudy day. Let
him walk up and down aisles, marking. cor
rectng and explaining work; let him watch
and control long lines OF boys passing up
and down stairs from the classrooms TO the
yard.
Above all, let him attempt the task OF
dsciplining unframed unruly, Indifferent or
all too emotional little foreigners, at the
same time getting over" an allotted amount
Of work. Let him hold their interest dav
after day and | think he will find the
physical fatigue greater than the mental
strain.
can assure him that every hard-work-
ing, conscientious teacher is under such
mental strain for five hours n day as no
clerk shopworkcr has ever experienced
in ten hours of work. TO work with figures
on paper or with machine and cloth is
quite n different matter from working with
lively, restless. active little human beings. He
needs only TO look at the drawn, tired,
pale faces OF the average teacher when on
duty to confirm my statements.
lie has also forgotten that we have de-
voted six years 10 special training, are sup
poscd to lie women Of commanding and
