LOOKING OUT FOR THE BOYS

Hundreds of replies have been re-
ceived from country newspapers en-
dorsing heartily the suggestions cf
per seryicecmfwy pmfwyp mfwypmra
Col. Thompson through the Home Pa
per Service, New York, to secure en-
ployment for the returned soldiers
There is not paper throughout the
country that has not expressed in one
form or another its desire to do all
that it can for the soldiers.
The country papers have not only
shown willingness to cooperate in
securing employment, but they have
used every effort to carry out the
further suggestion in regard to keep
ing up civic improvements for contin-
uing employment by building roads
memorial buildings, public buildings,
public parks, and insfact they have
put their shoulders to the wheel Of
progress, the results of which will be
of benefit in the future.
1t appers from replies that the sol
diers who have returned directly to
the country towns have generally
been able to get employment. This
is particularly true in regard to sol
diers who came fro mthe farms, for
there is continual demand for farm
workers. The farmers are calling
loudly for help. They want the re-
turned soldiers wherever they cad
get them, as the DEF hands of the ha~-
vest fields are greater than ever be-
for.

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return Of Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

Washington.-Th national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital With SO per cent. of
the editors giving it as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads TO their own
ers and only II per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation, the
members of Congress of both polit-
ical parties propose 10 provide speed
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year
In Congress there is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
/. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved of the bur-
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General of Railroads states
that the increase in rates thus far is
about 25 per cent. as compared with
an increase in operating costs Of from
80 to 90 per cent
2. Greater naturalization of public
control of transportation--a single
ment in place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
8. Legalization of consultations and
common use of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $4,000, 600
to $1,000,000000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail-
road facilities.

ARMY PAY" versus CIVILIAN
SALARY"

Why so many discharged soldiers
are re-enlisting throughout the
United. States is answered in part by
a recent report made by a municipal
statistician showing the conditions in
and about the larger cities of the At
lantic Seaboard, and the amounts an
nually saved by the average unmar-
ried laborer.
These savings abnormally low,
ranging from $11.00 to $4,000 are
contrasted with those possible in the
United States Army, which range for
the same men from $4,000 to $808. 90.
Four different ages are tabulated,
namely 10, 25, 81, and 40; unmarried
men engaged in ordinary industrial
occupations. The report shows that
while in Civil life the savings steadily
grow less as the man grows older, ex-
actly the reverse conditions prevails
in the Army.
1t is noted that there. is no such
thing as getting an UNANIMOUS agree
ment on any one item in cost of
living analysis, but a we'll proven av-
erage is taken for the basis of COM
parison. As matter of fact the re-
port states it is possible to get adj
equate accommodations at alower rem
tai than that given, if for instance,
the worker under consideration, lives
in New York. 1t is possible to live
out of town and pay less, but that
simply adds so much more to care
fare. The same holds true of the
other items.
Also, it is pointed out,-some
people do not smoke, some do not
read newspapers, some do not belong
to church and some get all medical
treatment at dispensaries, but the
budget Of such people are an excep-
ton and invaribly contain other per-
sonal items of expense that bring
the total up to the average.

MYSTERY OF INFLUENZA
GERM

With the worldwide epidemic Of
influenza began in 1918 it was COM
placently assumed in many medical
quarters, and, of course, among the
laity that the disease was a form of
la grippe.
But it was not long before many
things turned up to make it appar-
ent that the worldwide scourge of
what was called the "fiu" did not fiS
with facts already known about la
grippe and the well known grippe
bacillus
What, then, was the cause of this
epidemic with its frightful mortality!
If it was not la grippe what was it,
By very curious incident it APP
pears highly probable that the mys-
terry which has surrounded the epi-
demic of what has been called the
"fu" has been solved. A French
scientist, DIR. Eugene Foley, was
smearing the nose of rat with in
fluenza sputum to infect it when the
rat accidentally bit DIR. Foley.
Very shortly Professor Falley be-
gan to manifest symptoms of illness
which steadily developed in intensity
and finally assumed very grave
character, with all the characteristics,
of probably fatal case of "fu.'

THE BIG JOB

The control of venereal diseases
will head the health program in prac-
tically every State in the Union for
the coming year.
This was determined at a two-day
conference of State and Territorial
Health Officers with the United States
Public Health Service officials ia
Washington last week, the first meet
ing of the kind since the United
States Government officially declared
war on venereal diseases.
The conference was doubly impor-
tant 1t showed for the first time
that State health officers have rec
ognized venereal diseases as a meaz
ace of prime Importance and have de-
termined to relieve the Public Health
Service of large part of the work
by shouldering thir share of the bur-
den. 1t also revealed the remarkable
progress already in most of the
States in establishing clinics and get
ting machinery in readiness to make
the crusade permanent.
The conference was remarkable for
the unaimity of thought. One by
one, the secretaries or commissioners
of the State Boards of Health repor-
ted the activities in their State IL
was at once apparent that each State
was doing its utmost with the facil-
titles available and had won the
hearty support of legislatures and
promises of appropriations with
which to continue the work 1T was
also evident that each State Board
had placed venereal diseases at the
head of the list of dangerous, com
municable ailments and decided to
control it.
There was, of course, some differ
ence of opinion as to the method of
attack, some limitations in power due
to differences in legislation in various
States, but from the most progress
i've, prosperous commonwealth to the
small, almost rural States, there was
predominating thought 1t was
that venereal diseases will be battled
and controlled
