The Importance of an industrial

MEMORIAL ORPUANAGE
NOR CHILDREN likely.

At a regular meeting of the Wom-
ans club last Friday it was decided
to make an effort to interest the leg
islature of the state in a state memoir
ial for New Mexico's heroes. The
memorial to be in the form of state
orphanage. Club women of the state
as we'll as everyone else who has given
the matter of homeless children a
thought, will no doubt agree that an
institution of this, kind has long been
a need in New Mexico. Ii the state
is going to erect memorial to its fall

pirate than home that will adequate

future citizenship?

man" meme will gainsay and it is high
time that such a belief should be &c
tive as well as passive. These are no
times for mere belief, The orphans
at home must be cared for unless the
sigma which is applied to an indivld-
ual for ncglecting his own family be
applied to New Mexico as a state.
There can be no two minds as to
the necessity for a state orphonage.
Whether the women who have under
taken to interest the legislature will
be successful in heir efforts, remains
to be seen. But can the state afford
to ignore such a need?

THE sANDzEN EXHIBIT

However, the visitors had an oppOr-
tunity to view the biggest thing in the
way of a one-man exhibit that the
southwest has as yet had. This is the
display of the works of Birger Sand
zen at the new museum, which opened
on Museum night, Tuesday evening.
Not only in oils, but also in water coll
ors, etching, wood cut, Autograph and
dry point etching, did this master col
orist exhibit his art. 1t is supreme
ly virile and rugged art, such as one
would look for only from the brush
IT Il descendent of the Vikings like
Sandzen, who for almost a quarter Of
century now has been at the head
of the art department of Bethany COL
lege, Lindsborg, Kansas, and has made
himself The leader of an art movement
that is remarkable in more than one
way. His paintings hang in galleries
abroad as well as in the United States
and critics even though they may
quarrel with his technique count him
among the masters. AS pupil of
Zorn and an art student in Paris he
gained attention from critics in Eu
rope even before. he came to the Unit
ed States But it was years before he
attained that sureness and deftness in
producing composite color effects
which make many other canvases
seem pale and washed out in compari-
son. He piles on the paint as if it
were a plastic material and distributes
it in mosacs in bewildering arrange
ment, producing effects that must be
termed smashing" because of their
depth, their unity, their wonderful
beauty. No other technique has thus
far reproduced so adequately the feel
ing, the massiveness and ruggedness of
the rock formation of the Rocky
mountains of the Garden of the Gods,
of the Canyons, of the Southwest, of
the desert buttes as do Sandzen's
paintings. A color harmony runs no,
only through the individual paintings
but through an entire alcove of his
paintings. 1t is not impressionism, as
impressionism is understood in popu-
lar parlanCc, but it almost become1
science because of the uncanny GER
tainty with which distance effects arA
produced by a wilderness of color mo-
safes, The versatility Of the artist in
the media he uses is as astonishing as
the distnctiveness of his technique
which Enthusiastically stamps every
painting and print of the more than
q hundred that are on exhibit One
may trace an increasing boldness I'M

earlier paintings of which few are

WOMAN'S CLUB PIONEER
IN CHILD WELFARE WORK.

To the Albuquerque Woman's club
is due the credit for the initial child
welfare work in the state. The child
welfare committee of the club planned
and conducted better -ba bies week in
the fall of 1915. The following spring
clinic was held in connection with
better-ba bies week and school children
were examined, number of them re-
ceiving free treatment from local
physicians. 1t was largely due to the
showing at this time that a school
nurse was later employed for the city
schools. In 1917 a child welfare sta
tian and clinic was conducted by the
club for one month, during this time
many women and children passed
through the clinic and were examined
treated ~ given instruction, as the
case might be.
Last year after the appalling find
ings OF the draft boards. the govern
ment DECIDED upon q Child Welfare
Service as part OF the National Council
of Defense. In every state committees
were appointed and much good ac-
20" n'ished. In New Mexico, Mrs. Max
Nordhaus was appointed state chair
man of Child Welfare Service, and the
work began to assume statewide as
nee But the work is only begun, and
unless the succeeding efforts shall be
rs well and carefully thought out the
good beginning will have been in vain.
The following instances of the work
of the Child Welfare Service in Albu-
cuerque will serve to indicate some
thing OF its importance:
A taby, eight months old was
brought to the welfare station recent
" in state of actual starvation. The
little one was being fed only three
times In twenty-forr hours, those
three feelings consisting of a little
milk given out of condensed milk
can. The mother was evidently doing
the best s. G knew. but the child was
slowly sterving to death. Miss Wicker,
the county nurse, together with the
county physician, gave the child few
weeks attention, teaching the mother
in that time how and what to feed the
baby. Today II is as bright and plump
as any little one need be. Another
bafy of one month, whose mother was
sick with influenza was brought to the
station suffering from mal-nutrition.
Again the services of the county nurse
were called for and the sister, who
was in charge of the sick mother ana
baby, was taught how to prepare the
food as well as to feed the child.

Netu Mexico is Being Planned

Give fools their gold, and knaves their
power;
Let fortune bubble rise and fall;
Who sows a fled, or trains a flower,
or plants a tree, is more than all.
That Albuquerque should be thlhh7

plan outlined to the journal by a
prominent business man of Aibuquer-
que, is for the planting CT trees, pre-
ferably elms, on both sides of North
Fourth street as far as Alameda.
Albuquerque needs trees. The roads
leading into Albuquerque needs trees,
And lining both sides of North Fourth
street with trses would be a thing of
beauty and Joy for many generations.
A suitable memorial arch could De

of the soldiers, and the street couid

beauty, but real asset to Albuquer-

The Soldiers Arch suitably inscrib-
cd, and the Soldiers Boulevard, need
not be a great expense TO the people
of the city. Three thousand trees will
easily plant both sides of the street
as far as Alameda, and the question of
water in that district is not serious
one. And an avenue of trees eight
miles in length, leading in o Albuquer-
que would be a memorial which would
insure the gratitude OF posterity as 20

AN EVERYDAY STORY
EN Mrs. i. S. EASTEIiDAN


The young wife was in tears. The
baby was i'll. seriously so. He had
lost in weight until he was only a
shadow of his former dimpled self.
She must have advice. Something
must be done Yes. she had weaned
him. 1t had seemed best, and she had
tried so many foods. but nothing had
seemed to agree with him.
After the fount of nourshmcnt was
dry she read with dismay that
ten bottle-fed babies die to one breast
fed Why had she not known this
before? She had been a business
woman before her marriage, and
household cares and baby raising had
not been studied. She had thought
that by putting the baby on the bottle
She could then at least have the meals
on time. But the plan had failed mis-
erably.
No, she had not scalded the bottle
because it broke so easily. She us
ually did wash it with her dishes Was
it reall-- so important to scafd bottles ?
Why had someone not told her these
things? WHY must young mother
learn these things in the hard school
of experience at the expense of her
child's health? Who was to blame?
The suggestion of goats milk was
revolving, to say the least. Her dainty
baby with clothes all lace-trimmed
and beribboned fed from a dirty goat!
But she was desperate and something
must be done. Soon she learned that
goats need not be dirty. and good au-
thority told her that goats milk more
