DUTIES OF COUNTY TUBERCULOSIS NURSE

state supervisor of Nurses

Eighteen counties in the state now
employ visiting tuberculosis nurses.

provide for one. These nurses have
all received special training as public
health nurses, either in public health
nursing classes at the various univer-
sites, or by years of experience as
members of large visiting nurses

Each nurse therefore comes to her
work well equipped to handle the
many and varied problems which pre-
sent themselves, almost from the out
set. Cases are reported to her by
the health officers and physicians,
who in most instances cooperate in

PLAN BIG DRAINAGE
DISTRICT At YELM


That the farmers of the Yelm Creek
valley. as we'll as other districts OF
the county, are planning to organize
drainage district to reclaim land, is
stated in letter received this week
from J. {. Conine. one of the we'll
known farmers of that section. 1t
says:
After a period of nearly 80 years,
the farmers of Thurston county have
awakened from their Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep to the necessity of drainage.
/ They seem to be just finding out that
cold, damp land is not adapted to the
production of good crops. They are
just beginning to realize the fact that
the only solution of the problem is
thorough drainage and that the prop
er way of bringing it about is by or
ganizing drainage districts; in other
words, by cooperation.
In the past the farmers have been
too slow in matters of legislation.
While other trades and professions
have been organizing for mutual ben
eft the farmers have been selfishly
trying to go it alone. They ale just
beginning to realize the old maxim:
In union is strength. One twig is
easily broken, but a dozen taken to-
gether are more difficult. This is an
automatic fact and needs no demon
stration.
Mature has been prodigaJ in
ThurstOn county. 1t has some of the
finest lands in the state. All that is
required is little common sense in
utilizing them, Mr.. Crane has point
ed out the way in his various demon
STATIONS that are easily understood.
Instead of three districts, as stated in
the Standard, there are four, includ-
ing Yelm Creek valley where live.
While my farming days are over,
l am interested in the future, so
suggest that at least two districts
combine and buy a small steam shovel
and prepare to do the work next fall
when the water is low. After the
main ditch is completed, it will be
comparatively easy to make the later
ais"
Mr.. Conine. in another communica-
ton, discusses subject of interest to
city and rural residents alike:
Il see by the papers that the people
of the urban population, some of 'em
at least, arc talking of boycotting the
farmers by refusing to buy certain of
their products. Do they realize that
the world at large is dependent on
the farmers for what they eat and
wear? A boycott on the farmer is
like killing the goose that laid the
golden eggs
"They don't seem to realize that
heretofore he has always been the

ADAPTING THE ROMAN BATH

VISITORS to the vestiges of imperial
Rome are wont to marvel regretfully
at the care of public health and cleanli-
ness taken by such monarchs as Caracalla
and Diocletian. 1t has become common
place to contrast those indices of the
classical civic spirit with modern mani
festations. 1t is also fallacy.
Public baths in American cities are
not yet casinos and clubs as were their
gorgeous Latin antecedents, but the
prime service which they perform is of
equal value.
Philadelphia is well equipped in this
regard. On Saturday twenty public bath
houses in various sections of the city will
be opened. The season will last until
September. The institutions are well
managed and the functions which they fill
are of inestimable worth in a metropolis
in our latitude, which, by the way, is
even further south than that of Rome.
1t is worth while appreciatng these
facts when the "pathos of distance" is so
apt to invest the wisdom of ancientry
with spurious appeal. The Roman
bath has been adapted to modern condi-
tions, not forgotten.

EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER-PH PHILADELPHIA, :

pharisaical. The government Of the
United States is imperfect, as are its
people. But through the various peril
Gus waters that it has been steered its
general direction was evident. When it
failed it was usually not because of
faulty guiding purpose. 1t began right.
1t began with the preamble. That is to
say, ii began with extreme idealism.
The, profit of appreciating these facts
on the particular celebration of the snni-
versary which will fall tomorrow is mani
fest. An international charter of liber-
ties and rights to be safeguarded through
cooperative administration has been
framed. The preamble of the covenant
of the league of nations defines interna-
tional cooperation, the maintenance of
peace and security, the establishment Of
honorable rules of conduct among the
nations, the preservation of justice, the
acceptance of obligations not to resort to
war as the purpose of the pact.
Is this an eXtravagant program, sur
charged with soaring idealism? So also
were the Introductory clauses of the de-
cree adopted in independence Hall one
hundred and forty-three years ago to-
morrow. In all humility and yet with
need of warranted sober pride it is per-
misslble to note where our winging
affilmations have led us. Where we
should have been without them is incon-
ceivable.
The right start is now equally indis-
pensable to the associated nations of the
world which have become politically in
Prospective for the first time in history.
The idealist who stands for the covenant
has the best of bulwarlSs in the meaning
of the day we celebrate.

COUNCILS STALL TRAFFIC

NEW JERSEY from the first has dis
L played a greater animation in reIa-
tion to the Delaware river bridge project
than Pennsylvania or this city. 1t was
the Jersey Legislature which, by the
virtue of its example finally forced Sc
rious consideration of the bridge plan at
Harrisburg. The first approximations
for the work were made at Trenton. The
Pennsylvania Legislature finally came to
its senses and provided money necessary
for the preliminary operations. But all
that has been done on both sides Of the
river so far is Of no avai! because no
provision has been made for the rela
lively small appropriations which must
be made by City Councils before the
bridge plans can be properly organized.
Councils meet today for the last time
before the summer recess. Lack of fore
sight or interest in the bridge project is
likely to delay the whole plan for six
months or more. Money is available and
the S250000 necessary could be diverted
from other sources. The city should
fulfill its obligation promptly.

WHEN DOES WAR END FOR U.s.?

SENATOR KNOX objects to Attorney
~ General Palmer's statement that thss
United States cannot enter into comm
cial relations with Germany until ~rhe
treaty of peace has been ratified by the
Senate and until the President has issued
proclamation to that effect.
The senator says that the treaty itself
provides that it shall go into effect in all
its provisions as soon as it is ratified by
Germany and by three other powers, and
that consequently "the resumption of
trade between Germany and all other
nations is made possible by this same
stipulation"
But the only draft of the treaty we
have declares merely that the periods of
time provided for such, for example, as
the French control of the Sarre basin for
fifteen years, shall date from such rati-
fication, but that "in all other respects
the treaty will enter into force for each
power at the date of the deposit of its
ratification"
The senator objects to the attorney
generals view on the ground that its pur-
pose is merely to arouse business men to
bring pressure to bear on the Senate in
order to force it to early action, and he
insists that it is not justified by the facts.
But either he or some of his colleagues
who oppose the league of nations were
saying not long ago that this provision
that the treaty would go into effect for
the powers concerned as soon as Ger
many and three of the Allied nations had
ratified it was introduced by the Presi-

When Slavery had logged the brains and

some away.
But patriots rallied to the flag! Old Glory

And brothers reconcied at last were men
