Miss Bina NJ West is one of the
best known women in America and
is the active head and guiding spirit
of the largest exclusively woman's
beneficiary organization in this coun
try. Under her careful direction ii
has extended its field of organization
until it now embraces fifty five
states and provinces with member
ship exceeding 100000 carrying more
than 1888, 900 insurance and a re-
serve fund of over $12,000,000. The
association carried on an extensive
philanthropic work by means of an
efficient hospital service. During the
war the membership were active in
every line of war aid operating
with the Red Cross and Council of
the government 100000 in the four
loans The supreme offices at Port
Huron were placed at the services
of the government for all drives
while Miss West and the other SUI
IRENE officers served on the national
war councils. The Women's Benefit
association is represented locally by
Mankato Review No. 20 that meets

FIRST AID TO MAP MAKERS
Airships viii Help to Pick Out Valley
of Amazon.

Para, Brazil, November 4. = by
The Associated Press.] - Afrplanes
may be employed to map the valley
of the great Amazon river. IL the
French are successful In their effort
to use aircraft for surveying the
routes of the rivers of French Guiana,
it is understood the Brazilian gov
eminent will apply the same method
to the survey of the Amazon and Its
affluents. A French company Is said
to have been formed in Cayenne, with
hangers on the Maroni river, and
French aviators with flying expert
ence gained in the war are being en-
ployed to run the twenty five hydro
airplanes said to have been furnished
by the government.
In addition to making maps, the
machines will be employed for carry
ing valuable freight, mails and pas
sengers. There are immense rivers
in French Guiana which, because of
the presence of many rapids, are
now only navigable in canoes which
take weeks to transport freight over
distances which the hydroairplanes
can cover in as many hours, with al
ways large stretches of smooth water
offering suitable surface Tor land
ings and "take-offs."
The freight charges are said TO
be high. and the traffic is expected TO
consist mainly of gold, balato and es-
sence of rosewood which are the
principal exports of the colony. The
passenger business is not expected to
be heavy.
These hydroairplanes will also be
used for prospecting the forests for
balato trees which grow in groups SO
that the foliage can, it is said, be
readily distinguished by aviators fly
ing low over the tops of the forest
trees. In the past the securing of
fresh sources of balato has been a
work of much danger and difficulty
Specially trained balato workers,
well-armed, travelling in bands of
fifteen or twenty, have been employed
to explore the forests and they had
to carry with them supplies to cover
many months.

PUBLIC HEALTH CLINIC
Large Number of People Called
Yesterday and Doctors Were
Kept Very Busy

The public health clinic held in
Mankato yesterday was a complete
success. From early morning until
long after six o'clock the doctors
worked hard to give everyone that
came a share of their service The
total number Of patients examined
was 12s. DIR. Marclay, who had
charge of the chest diseases, had
forty-one patients, DR.. Christianson,
in charge of the children, had thirty
nine patients, and DR.. Card, who took
care of the dental work., examined
forty nine persons. Besides these,
about 100 persons were examined
and no record taken from them. The
ladies of the clinic committee, the
nurses, who assisted and the histor-
ians all deserve the success that
crowned their efforts.
The most sincere thanks of the
Blue Earth County Health association
is due the Sohmer Holbrook clinic
for the use of the whole second floor
of, their offices, for the assistance
they lent the visiting physicians
through members of their staff, and
for the use of their examining APP
pliances. The association is also
most grateful for the helpful CO.
operation of the Mankato Clinic and
, the other physicians of the city.
The committee in charge are happy
to announce that they have the pro-
mise of the use of the fine offices OF
/ the Mankato Clinic, for the next eff
4 fort on behalf of public health and
=, If the people show their appreciation
through liberal patronage of the
/ Christmas seal, it will be possible to
make the next clinic more complete
by adding to the departments one
for the instruction of young or ex-
pectant mothers, and one for nervous
and mental diseases.
