WANTED

Unlimited Recognition of Tags
Between States and National
Tag for Foreign Use Asked
in Bills in Congress.

Legislation introduced in the recent
sc ssion of congress and in the hands
of the interstate commerce commit
tees of the two houses, may be expect
ed to bring about reciprocal recogni-
ton of automobile licenses between the
states and the district of Columbia, as
wen as participation in the interna-
tional scheme by which foreign coun-
tries recognize each others tags.
In the house it's committee passes
upon both interstate and foreign com
merce, and because of this fact the
reciprocity measure introduced by
Representative Burton E. Sweet OF
Iowa best meets the general needs OF
the situation. This bill has the in
dorsement of the American Automobile
association, which for period OF
years has been seeking from congress
the open door, in registration reel
procity.
Not only does Mr.. Sweets draft
provide for unlimited recognition OF
registration numbers throughout the
United States, but it also authorizes
the secretary of state to arrange witt
| foreign nations so that any American
going abroad can be equipped with q
| registration tag on which ~. 81 will
| be substituted for the name of his state
| and in consequence be acceptable in al
| European countries which are sigma

Americans travelling abroad have
been obliged to accept the courtesy o.

for the international plate, which has
been somewhat awkward and more OIL

Sweets bill is that 1t definitely pro.

M. S. Parker Has Highest
Praise for Minnesota Insti-
tution-Pathetic Gases Are
Treated.

Field Secretary NJ. s. Parker of the
Idaho Anti-tuberculosis association
has just returned from Rochester,
! Minnv where he accompanied Mrs.
Parker several weeks ago that she
might receive treatment at the Mayo
Brothers hospital, one of the greatest
medical and surgical institutions in
this country. Mr.. Parker stated that
Mrs. Parker had materially improved
under the treatment there and was re-
leased last Saturday. Tuesday she, in
company with sister, Miss Emma
Schneider, one of the teachers in the
San Diego, Cal. public school, who
went to Rochester to help care for her

DOING UNsELFIsH WORK
Secretary Parker said he made a
careful investigation of the Mayo in
stitution as well as of all the hospitals
o. Rochester with which ii cooperates
and he expresses the opinion that 1t
has few equals among the institutions
of that character to be found anywhere
and he SAYS 1t is doing a great, unself-
ish work for humanity. He observes
that it might well and deservedly be
called one of the worlds great health
clearing houses, to which people from
practically every section of this and
many other countries go for relief from
about all the ills known TO man, in 9TH
er words, for medical and surgical
treatment. Mr.. Parker speaks in
| terms of the highest praise for that
institution and says that he is very
grateful to those in charge of IL for
the very skillful and successful man
ner in which Mrs. Parker's case Vas
handled.

SUFFERERS ARE MANY %
There is decidedly humane spirit
in the Mayo institution and practically
throughout the entire beautiful and
progressive city of Rochester, a place
OF about $1,000 inhabitants, there is
evidenced an unusually pronounced
common concern and fellow interest
n the 5000 or more people who are
there for treatment. While at Rochest-
er | saw sufferers from many sections
OF TINS and other countries with prac-
ticaJly every kind of affliction, some
or the cases indeed pathetic who went
there for treatment, in many cases,
as last resort. There were cripples
invalids, many in wheel chairs. some
on stretchers. all earnestly hoping for
relief
These unfortunates are met in the
clinic, hospitals, hotels, rooming houses
restaurants, cafes. business places in
general and on the streets, people in
every walk and station in life. who
nave wended their painful way, in most
cases, to that wonderful mecca of re-
Eel and consequent health with faith
that is truly remarkable. Hundreds of
ar xlous and patiently waiting victims
OF disease and other afflictions Ia ss
through the clinic daily and the work
goes on day and night. The main re-
ception room as well as the MANY
nails and Hobbies on the several floors
IN the medical block, which Ia modern
and equipped to the last degree, are
constantly filled with people waiting
their turn, and they are called when
wanted
VERY EDUCATIONAL.
The scene, while pathetic and some
times rather depressing, is wonderfully
educational and vivid reminder of
the very great importance of medical
inspection and careful diagnosis of
cases about which there is any cues
uon whatever that, II necessary, treat
ment may be started in early stages
of disease. Had there been careful
medical inspection and early diagnosis
OF suspicious cases of sickness gener-
ally In the world in the past a far
smaller number of unfortunates would
be obliged to 60 to the Mayo institu-
ton and other clinics in these days Of
thinking, for treatment, suffering
would have been greatly minimized
and many of the appallingly large
number of deaths that have unneces-
sarily occurred would unquestionably
have been prevented. Thousands go
there too late to be saved notwith-

sibie 10 done to save life and improve

In the senate the interstate COM
