over 1000 children, and has found
that those weighing and measuring
up to the standard, or a little above,
are almost without exception receiving
a great deal of milk. The children
much under the standard have been
receiving little or no milk. Carrying
the experiment further, underweight
children began almost Immediately to
show gains when milk was added to
their diet. With such evidence as to
the value of milk it is not surprising
that Manatee county has more dairy
COWS now than a year ago, and the
number is rapidly increasing. The re-
suits of this experiment are being US
ed as one of the arguments in a state
wide campaign for more dairy COWS.

u SCHOOL
IN OPERATION
Packard Motor Company Launches
a Movement to Cure Poor
Driving.

1t is a generally accepted fact that
the advantages Of the best engineer
ing practice incorporated in any
mechanism may be undone by care
less handling, and this holds true of
the motor truck more than any other
machine since it can be subjected to
extremely rough usage in its every
day routine.
To counterfeit the effects of neglect
and poor driving and at the same
time to educate the truck driver to a
higher standard of efficiency in opera
ton, the Detroit branch of the Pack
ard company has instituted a truck
school open to drivers and prospec-
tive drivers of all makes of trucks.
The attendance has averaged over
a hundred at each weekly meeting,
held Wednesday evenings, and at each
session a subject previously announ-
ced on the seasons program is COW
cred thoroughly. A complete truck
and all it's parts are on display, and
their care and functions r explained
infinitely by experienced service men,
After which the students themselves
ask questions or contribute lnforma-
i! ton from their personal experience
Moving pictures showing the construc-
ton of trucks in the factory have
been a feature of the entertainment.
Other subjects to be taken up in
succession are, construction and oper-
alton, steering and general chassis as
sembly, motor adjustments, inspection
general operation, etc. The growing
interest shown by the drivers has
been a revelation to the promoters
of the school, for in the past, partic'
ularly during war time, the average
driver was somewhat apathetic on the
subject of truck upkeep.
Most of the students are entered i,
the truck national efficiency test which
began February l and is to ru1
through a whole year in order to Gov
err all weather conditions and all phas
es of motor transportation.

UNEMPLOYMENT SIMPLY
INEVITABLE RESULT

Great Falls, February 2G.-The U.
S. employment service and union la
Dor officials are frankly worried about
the problem of unemployment. AS the
munition factories close down and
army rehabilitation goes on men find
difficulty in finding new jobs. Unem-
ployment is officially reported to have
increased from approximately 10000
in early December to 265,0o0 at the
first of the current month. This means
that it exists almost everywhere in
the nation in a more or less serious
degree. Naturally it is at it's worst
near the larger manufacturing cen
tiers, particularly those of the middle
west and east.
1t is to be expected. 1t had to be.
The nations war machinery had to
be brought to a full stop, and a peace
time head of steam must now be
made. A period between the closing
of munition and army jobs and the
beginning of construction work in the
spring was inevitable. The closing
months of the war had practically put
a stop to all construction work
throughout the country. One had to
obtain a permit from his local u
Gil of defense to erect eve a $4,000
building. The armistice came with
out warning and it came late in the
fall. Building enterprises could not
be expected to start again until
spring. Farm jobs will not be ready
until then.
There is the uncertainty as to
wages. Men always refuse to accept a
cut in wages even when they know
that wage reductions are inevitable.
They will fight before they will per-
nit their own wages to come down
so employers discharge high priced
men in order to start again with
cheaper men. Only in this way can
the wage scale be reduced but wages
must conn down where they were in
flated by war work just as prices of
Commodities must come down. Nobody
wants to slide down first so the com
mercial struggle goes on.
Employers in the peace industries
and building construction will wait
until they can be sure what then
costs will be. The hiatus war jobs
and new jobs cannot be avoided b!
| anything that the government or Labor
l unions can do. We must let bushes:
readjust itself to after-war conditions
Individuals can help by taking OF
t all the men they can use with profit
Investors in new enterprises will pro
coed cautiously and should do SO.
Business must get the war gas on
: of it and the sooner it is done the bet
1 ter it will be for all of US.

DEATH HAS SUMMONED
DOCTOR MARY ROBERTS
Famous Advocate of Male Attire for
Women Closes Picturesque
Career.

Watertown, N. Y, Feb. 22.-Dr.
Mary Walker, aged 81 years, died at
her home on Bunker'Hill near Oswego
at 8 o'clock last night after a long
illness. She was a surgeon in the
Civil war and was awarded a con-
-gr%essional medal of honor. She gain
ed considerable fame by being the
only woman allowed to appear in male
attire by an act of congress.
DR.. Mary E. Walker led a pictur-
esque career. Four years were spent
on the battlefields of the Civil war.
The remainder of her active life was
spent in fighting for feminine dress
reform and woman's right to political
suffrage. Her livelihood was earned
during all these years by her private
medical practice and by writing.
BY special authorization from the
federal congress DR.. Walker adopted
male attire during the Civil war and
fer the half century since she had
continued to wear it in civil life-the
only woman in the country who ever
had her rights in this respect pre-
scribed by the national legislators.
She wore a black frock coat, trousers
and a high silk hat and carried a cane
DR.. Walker also was distinguished
as the only woman in history who,
when held as a captive in war, was ex-
changed as a prisoner of war for a
mar of equal rank in the army of the
fee. She is also the first to
be regularly enlisted in an army as
a surgeon.
Born in Oswego, N. Y, in 1882, Miss
Walker was a graduate doctor with
the degree of M. D. at the age of %
Beginning practice Immediately she
soon adopted masculine clothes. Hell
war career began at the age Of 20
She volunteered her services, enter
ing the Union army as an assistant
urgeo with the rank of first lieu
tenant. She dressed like her broth
er officers, having a gold stripe run
ming down the trouser legs, wearing
a felt hat with gold cord, and an Off
GERS overcoat. Her jacket was Gu
like a blouse and fitted loosely at tn
neck.
Looked Every Inch a Man.
"When l had on my overcoat," Dr.
Walker declared, 81 looked every incl
the nan and I am sure l acted it."
DR.. Walker never married.
"Do l ever have unkind things SAT-
to me?" she once said, echoing an in
reviewers question. "Yes-of cours
by ill-bred people. But they ar
few. When anyone does say anything
unpleasant l usually have something
to say in return which makes u
quits. Oh, l tell you, trousers are
great thing"
Occasionally a policeman failing t
recognize the little, gray-haired VIC
man., placed her under arrest. Thi
once happened in Chicago. Shown;
the documents which gave her tn
right to wear masculine attire, sh
was released. Her only remark re
garding the guardian of the law was
"He's an old idiot"

CANADA Is PROSPEROUS.
Great Majority Of Her People
Richer Than Ever Before.
rom the Quebec Chronicle,

FROM the Queoec Chronicle.
1t is an undeniable fact that while
the war has meant the death Of mill
lions Of our fellow beings, either from
wounds received in battle or from
disease and starvation incident there
to. anu that while thousands of the
best Canadians are among those who
have made the supreme sacrifice. our
country as a whole and the great bulk
Of its population are richer today than
ever before. Prosperity such as the
country never before knew has come
to the Dominion through the enormous
expenditure made in Canada for war
supplies of various kinds and for food
for the allied nations and for their
armies and navies ar.
In Quebec. particularly. there is
reason to anticipate still more pros
some time past. provided we are
fortunate enough to escape the set
backs in the shape of labor troubles,
ETC.. which are driving business away
from other centers. In the past per-
haps no other city has suffered more
from this cause than Quebec. Today
our workmen are well off. earning
good wages and living in very much
better houses than they were a few
years ago. and everything points at
present to a continuance of this happy
condition of affairs. 1t is gratifying
to hear Of more good news on the
heel Of the information regarding the
establishment Of the new Industry on
| the Cove Fields by the American
Arms, recently Announced by this
paper, for it Is stated on the authority
Of Bradstreet that large contracts
have been awarded by. the government
to Quebec manufacturers, for boSts
for Army purposes. ,

French Names for Babies,

From Parsons Weekly.
French Christian names fer British
children have Become much more
common in the last year. This. Of
course, Is because Of the fancy our
Tommies in France have taken to
some Of the prettier French names.
Pierre and Jules are by far the most
common names in France for beys and
after them Louis, Marcel, Raoul.

played IN the greatest war in history.
It Is curious fact, however. that
our Tommies are much more inclined
to call their girl babies by French
names than they are their sons Made
leine, Marie and Yvonne are becoming
quite common. Among ether pretty
French names for girls are Celinette,
