HEALTH CLUB OR
GANIZED

Miss Farra organized the first
Community Health Club at Scat
fold Cane School, Tuesday night
July g. 1920.
Miss Elizabeth Farra, a repre-
sentative Of the College Of Agricul-
ture and the Y. s. Department OF
Agriculture. is in Berea for the
summer 10 follow up the Child We'll
fare survey made last fall by DR..
Bradley and Miss Lydia Roberts.
Miss Farra is a graduate Of the
University OF Kentucky and for the
past year a student in the Woman's
Medical College Of Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia. She, though a native
Of Kentucky, has been in similar
work in the mountains Of Georgia.
Miss Harper of the Summer
School faculty led the singing at
Scafrold Cane Tuesday night and got
a wonderful response. Miss Ker-
sey. also Of the Summer School
faculty. gave two readings for the
children. which were very much
enjoyed.
Miss Farra then explained the
object Of the Health Clubs and
showed by charts some OF the re-
suits OF work with other children.
Each child will have his or her own
chart. which will show the child's
present weight and what the
child. according TO its height,
should weigh. Only those child
rem that are 7Po or more under
weight will have chart. IL IS
hoped that in the next ten weeks
that these children'will be brought
up to normal weight, and as re-
suit, that automatic health habits
will have been established,
Plans are also being made TO
have the children make some con-
veniences for the home that Will
help TO tighten the work Of the
mother. Iceless refrigerators and
flreless cookers will be made first.
Some interesting statistics, COM
piled as a result Of survey made
in iOOi5 country homes OF the
Northern and Western states, were
given, showing how the country
woman spends her time. From the
women present il was found that
their time was spent in practically
the same way. II is felt that any
conveniences that will tighten their
work will be appreciated by the
women.
President Hutchins and Dean Nc
Allister were present at the meet
ing and expressed their approval
of the plans for the Health Club.
Miss Farra will organize a Health
Club at Narrow Gap School, Wednes-
day, July "a, and one in the Big
Hill and Pilot Knob neighborhood

PAYS TO BUILD BIRD HOUSES
Feathered sonasters, Through Their
Destruction Of Insects, Increase
Yield Of Farm.

Birds are desirable TO have about
the premises. not only on account OF
their beauty and song but because Of
their economic worth. The little
feathered songsters are especially use
full as insect destroyers during the
breeding period, when they have to
work early and late to obtain sufficient
food for their nestlings. One way to
Increase the number making your
property their summer home is to put
out feathers. bits OF wool and twine
during the nest-building season for the
birds TO use In building their babita-
lions. Another way is to build safe
retreats for them In which they can
rear their young comfortably. Most Of
the houses will be occupied year after
year. In fact, no attraction for sum
mer birds Is more effectual than plen-
~ OF houses suited to the needs and
habits Of the various kinds of house
birds. During idle hours the construc-
ton Of few Of these bird dwellings
Is fascinating and useful work.

the United States bureau Of biological
survey, gives clear working directions.

Plant Memorial Trees.

While various kinds Of memorials
are being erected for our departed sol
diers. none is more simple and more
appropriate than the tree, which will
be a living emblem Of the remem-
brance OF a grateful people to those
who gave their lives upon the altar Of
their country. Statues and monuments
after few years may come TO look
cheap, and they may be meaningless

mortal tree nature will assist man In

BEST FOR MARKETING CROPS
Farmers Enabled to Haul produces
When Prices Are Highest II High
ways Are Improved.

Good roads give a wider choice Of
time for marketing crops. II roads
were kept in condition to permit travel
and hauling at all times and in all
kinds Of weather. farmers would not
have to rush their produce to market
in seasons OF good roads. but could haul
It when prices were highest and when
their crops did not demand attention.

Help the Near Eastern Children

An appeal has been issued to the
American people for money to care
for 10000 children in the near east,
who if not succored by aid from this
country may perish from lick of neces-
stiles Of life. These children are
morally the wards of this country.
They must be rescued from the ter
rible conditions in which they have
been left by war. pestilence and famine.
In many ways the American people
have proved their generous spirit dur
ing the last five or six years. They
have gone to the aid of the suffering
of the war-stricken regions without
stint. They have given millions of
dollars for many purposes such as that
for which an appeal is now sounded.
1t is not to be believed that they will
turn a deaf ear now to this cry for
help.
The land in which these 10000
children live has been most sorely
stricken. Wars are raging there at
present. Government is in chaos. The
relief agencies, supported by public
contributions, chiefly from this coun-
try. are alone rendering efficient help.
Unless the means are supplied by this
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" subscrip-
ton, even these agencies will fail.
Heavy as have been the contribu-
tions in the past, there is duty now
to give again that these 10000 chill
dren may be saved.

, condition that their neglect is casting
!reproach upon the community, and
requesting correction, probably in most
cases the conditions will be remedied,
Tho District can now under the law
cause the demolition of old buildings
that have passed the point Of economic
and sanitary repair. But 1t cannot
make property owner clean up and
paint up his premises. straighten his
fences or, unless the conditions are
actually inimical to health, clean up
his vacant land. The moral suasion
of citizens association. however,
might accomplish these ends.
In many of these cases the work
necessary to transform an unsightly
piece Of property into at least a de-
cent semblance Of order would cost a
very trifling sum. In numerous in
stances a coat Of paint is all that is
required. Whatever the need, the
property owner should be reminded of
1t in the name of the reputation Of
Washington as a city Of attraction
and neatness and order.
Within three months and q half this
city will be visited by great multi
tude. drawn by the inaugural cere-
monies. 1t would be well if some of
this housekeeping were accomplished
before the 1st of March.
Evening star., 1920-11-28

I'm any form. Even If a credit slip is
given to the artisan, or the professional
worker, or the farmer, to represent the
value Of his days labor. that slip Is
, money. There must be some form OF
Exchange. The whole vast system OF
labor and service and barter and sup
ply cannot be maintained without
tangible acknowledgements or re-
ceipts, and these are money. whatever
form they may take. a
delivery Of tokens Of any kind there
will be a disposition to traffic in them,
to exchange them. Can the Russian
government, with all its great arbi-
trary power. prevent this natural dis
position, which arises from the fact
that the needs of men are not Identical
because their tastes are not Identical!
If these tokens are made non-trans-
ferable. if Serge Kobolski cannot use
his receipt except to secure the COM
modities Of his own need, he will be
content with this system only so long
as what he gets in exchange for his
toll serves to supply him. Sooner or
later he will try to beat the game by
getting some other mans token or the
goods that some other man gets in
exchange for his receipt. That is
fundamental human nature and no de.
cree by the soviet will make it diff
ferent and no army Of commissars can
execute a system which seeks to re-
press this instinct.

Danger From Above.

If railroad cars are to be derailed
frequently on the overhead tracks in
Southwest Washington. as i'm the case
of yesterdays accident, some protec-
ton must be provided against the
crushing Of the public in the streets
running alongside. Yesterday a
freight car heavily loaded not only
jumped the tracks but went clear
over into the street twelve feet below.
The only guard at that point is a light
iron handrail, Of course inadequate to
restrain car from falling. This is
an unusual accident and might not be
repeated. On the other hand, it dem
onstrates the possibility. BY q great
good fortune nobody was hurt when
the freight car fell off the viaSuct yes.
terday, but it is easily conceivable that
it might have dropped upon a passing
vehicle and taken several lives. The
elimination Of grade crossings has not
altogether obviated the menace to
public safety which the old death trans
constituted.

The Russian Fallacy.

The proposition to put Russia on a
mOneyless basis appeals strongly to
speculation. From the point Of view
OF extreme socialism the thing Is. of
course. practicable and desirable. But
from the point OF view Of absolute
human experience and desire and
temperament 1t is as hard to ac-
complish as visit to the moon.
Money. after all. is only q standard. a
measure OF value. In modern terms
money consists Of 4 token, a piece Of
metal or a piece Of paper. which
bears the imprint OF authority and re.
sponsibility, which is accepted as rep
resentative OF value. Whether money
takes this form or is in the form of
the cowrie shell of the South Sea
islanders. it is merely standard unit
OF worth. A mans labor commands,
say. ten of these units daily. But an.
other mans labor. being OF a different
kind. may command twelve Of these
units, or twenty. Who determines the
difference between what may be called
the common values of different classes
Of artisans or men OF skill? In the
normal world these standards OF value
fiuctuate with supply and demand
They are governed somewhat by the
power OF organization. In Russia II
is proposed to create an arbitrary
standard Of value. But there can be
no ~moneyless system" over there in
the strict sense OF the term unless
there is really no exchange Of tokens

Newspaper Workers.
rom the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
In paying a we'll deserved tribute to
its managing editor. the late George
Mcleod Smith, the Tribune said. most
suggestively:
"If hasty critics Of American news
papers could have known the American
newspaper man as typif1ed in George
Smith, their confidence in the press
would have been eRiarged. The most
certify, his honor. his rugged independ-
ence It was inconceivable that this
man should do a dishonest deed or print
q dishonorabie word or serve any leader
ship that seemed to him false or un-
worthy. A higher standard than his of
good faith. of fair play. Of loyalty to
every noble impulse in his nature. can
scarcely be imagined; or Of calmer poise
and more spontaneous devotion to public
education through impartial and unsul-
lied publication Of the facts which form
the raw material Of opinion"
There are hundreds of newspaper
workers OF this type, OF whom the world
never or seldom hears. They are mas
ters Of newspaper technique. They feel
able tradition of journalism. and have a
sense Of responsibility for continuing 1t
unsullied. What they have of natural
ability. what they have acquired by
education. their industry by day and by
night they Sea pour ibdn into ahs the tasks
fees for the sake of their ceiling; almost
always they renounce whatever repu-
tation may be attached to it. In posi-
tions Of trust. they prove faithful to
Placed where a little yielding to temp
alton would mean large pecuniary gain,
it simply never occurs to them to yield
They como and go for years without
even a breath Of suspicion reaching
them.
These are the men, unknown for the
most part, who are the bone and sinew
Of journalism. In their fidelity, In their
high purposes, in their achievement, they
are a standing rebuke to thoughtless or
reckless slanderers OF their profession.
So long as q newspaper can attract and
retain such men by giving them full
play for their talents and can keep their
respect and affection. it need not mind
the gossip OF idle or malicious people
about the sordid and sunk condition Of
the press.
