For Better Health

To place the public health on q
higher plane than it has ever been
is the object of national program
undertaken by the American Red
Cross as part of its peace time
plan Fifty nurses, returned from
active overseas duty, will tour the
United States on a Chautauqua
circuit, spreading the gospel of good
health and of the proper care of
the sick by fostering the study and
practice of nursing.
Through the Chautauqua an Of
fetal representative of the Red
Cross Department of NURSING will
tell the people of the Southwestern
Division the story of what is being
done and will ask their co-opera-
ton. All of these nurses have had
actual experiences abroad. Not
only have they served in hospitals
and cared for the MANNED and
wounded, but they have also come
in constant touch with refugees. the
repatries, the sick. the famished,
and the tubercular.
The addresses of the nurses will
take in five general topics. three
of which take public health educa-
ton into each home of the commun-
ity. The first of these topics pleads
for the employment of a public
health nurse in every community.
This work will be carried on in CO
operation with State Boards of
Health and Education, State Anti,
tuberculosis Leagues and other
State health organizations In COM
munities where no such oreaniZa-
tions exist the Red Cross will estab-
lish nursing sevice, financed by
chapter funds.
The second part of the nurses
message will be that of home hy-
giene and care of the sick. They
will explain the importance Of TAX
ing the course of basic education
on these subjects, so that the gen.
eral public will know how to COM
bat contaeion in the home, how to
keep the health of the family at the
highest hygienic point, how to care
for minor illness, and when serious
sickness occurs, how to assist the
physician and nurse.

City's Technical Work
Is Declared Menaced
Experts Say Decentralization Of
Service Is Sure ON Present
Low Paw Basis

An appeal to the Ne& York public
for cooperation in improving condi-
tons of municipal employment was
issued last night from the headquar-
ters of the Union of Technical Men,
A. f. Of l.. 1t asserts insufficient pay
is rapidly leading to generalization
After stating that the union means to
stand for the kind of service the city
needs, the appeal proceeds:
"a continuation Of existing condi-
tons in city departments will rapidly
lead to serious deterioration Of the
force Many Of these men must de-
vote overtime and vacations to out
ide work to live properly and they
have not the necessary energy or in
centive left to take proper interest in
city business.
"While it may appear in the city
budget that there is n saving in the
cost of this kind Of service, you may
rest assured that this will only lead
parent saving in the budget by ex-
travagance, waste and inetficiency
"At the present time the technical
men are engaged in the preparation Of
plans, specifications and contracts, or
supervising the construction Of public
works involving an expenditure of
about 500, 100000.
In letter forwarded to city Off
Gals, we have set forth conditions I'M
der which we are now working, and
have made reasonable requests, the
granting of which, in our minds, is of
Fundamental Importance if the tech
meal service of the City of New York
is to be maintained on high and

THE weather was perfect, and the
motors were throttled down to 400
revolutions a minute all the way said
Mr.. Lawson.
Mr. Lawson and his passengers, Carl
schorny, Vincent Curanelli, John Cul-
lon, Miss Anna B. Towse and MIR. and
Mrs. Walter Carrier, were entertained

of Mr. Lawson's proposed transconti-
mental air line near the Salisbury

his regular passengers and fly with
them to Washington.
I'VE are now arranging insurance
matters connected with the establish
ment of regular service" said Mr.
Lawson, Our present trip will not
be indicative of the schedules to be
followed. We are simply loating along.

Washington, Aug. 90 United Press)
Data tending to show profitecring in
clothing is expected to be laid before
the house agricultural committee today
when Attorney General Palmer appears
in support of his proposals for extension
of the Lever food control act.
Palmer, it is believed, will reveal
some Of the facts now known to be in
possession of the department OF justice
concerning the manufacture of cloth
and clothing.
Clothing generally has increased more
than 100 per cent in price in three years
government statistics show.
The federal trade commission has
figures showing the cost of manufactur-
ing many articles Of clothing. These
cost figures are below retail prices Of
mon $ suits, shirts, hats, shoes and q
score Of other articles of apparel. These
figures are available for use by Palmer
The government intends to take dras
tie action against the retail profiteers
of the country, believing they are one
of the main causes of high prices, Pal
mer told the committee today.
"The department has had more com
plants against retail gougers than any
one else," Palmer said. ~
"They are taking advantage Of pres
ent conditions to make unfair profits
and the department desires, with The
consent of congress, to take speedy ac
ton against them as we'll as all profi

''We don't want to pick out the big
packers and punish them alone and thei
