DIR. c. H. Burr, health officer of dis
trict No. 5. which includes Washington
and part Of Orange counties reports on
the work Of medical inspection OF
school children, rs follows:
The medical examination of school
children, and the treatment OF their
defects. are important activities OF our
health department. Under the present
system every school child in town
that votes to have medical inspection
receives thorough physical examlna
tion.
In each of the schools that ] have
inspected. health talks of five to 20
minutes have been given along the lines
of hygiene. how diseases are spread,
and what can be done to keep we'll
I have found the people most willing
to cooperate in improving the defects
in their children when the matter is
called to their attention, and in some of
the schools parents have sent or
brought TO the schools children under
school age that they might know if
their children were in need of medical
or surgical treatment.
The number of children examined
and classification of defects are emu

PURPOSE AND GOOD HORSES
All That is Necessary to Capture Villa
Says General Escobar.

III Paso, Tex, June 26-Honesty of
purpose, cooperation of leaders of
forces, who have taken the field against
him and good horses are all that is
necessary TO capture Pancho Villa, ac-
cording to General Jose Gonzalo Esco-
bar, who arrived at Juarez opposite
here in search of the good horses. He
stated that he had been well supplied
with funds and would purchase 5000
horses if he could find that number
suitable for the rough work which
would be required of them.
81 know Villa, and ] am what YOU
Americans call wise to him." said
General Escobar. villa is not the
fearless hero he is thought by many
people. On the contrary, he is only a
cowardly bandit, who, like a coyote,
skulks through the brush at night, TAX
ing advantage of others when the OPP
portunity offers.
1.-TWO detsehments of cavalry under
General Amaro,' he continued, "will
take part in the pursuit of Villa The
government now has in Chihuahua
nearly 10000 men to be used directly
against the bandit. If it becomes neces-
sary-which it will not-50,000 more
will be sent to Chihuahua.
This is campaign of cavalry, how
ever, and troops in large number viii

against villa The pursuit can best be
accomplished by small detachments of
picked men. well horsed, who can get
over the mountain rapidly"

Turkish nationalist forces are assum-
ing an aggressive attitude along the
eastern shore Of the sea of Marmora
and the Dardanelles. but have been
forced to fall back before the advance

land. Advices state that the nation
alists have been forced to retreat north
OF the Greek area OF occupation and
that a nationalist army corps has been
captured by the Greeks at Sala Shehr,
SO miles east of Smyrna.
Should the Turkish protest against
the cession of Smyrna TO Greece be
futile, however, ii is believed the. ma.

BEAUTIFYING GRANITE PLANTS.
Making Surroundings Attractive by
Clearing Away Chips and Plant
ing Shrubs and Flowers.

For 40 years and more, grout piles
have been accumulating here and there
ON vacant pieces of land adjacent to
stone sheds, but so gradually were
these piles augmented that little notice
was given them and they We're not
even considered in the pioneer davs of

granite had been exhumed from the
hills of Graniteville and Nebsterville
when the matter of dumping granite
chips became an established practice
with the various plants and later an
absolute necessity as the business in.
creased. Year by year these grout piles
have steadily grown, and to such sizes
| they become menace to the plants.
To-day has brought change. and
welcome one. Slightly more than a
year or so ago. John Booth, one of
Barres school commissioners and lead
ing manufacturers, conceived the idea
of removing this grout from about the
buildings of his plant and beautifying
the lawn with flowers and shade trees.
Not long after this came decided
change about the Booth plant. or the
Martinson Estate sheds. This plan, de
manding such radical changes. was.
like all such, adopted gradually by
MIR. Booth. Meanwhile other manufac-
turers were inspecting the change, with
the result that the Jones Bros. Co.
adopted the plan on an extensive scale
when erecting a new $4,000 office
building and caused tons and tons of
grout to be removed from the proposed
site Of the building and about the
plants. Soil was distributed evenly over
the Grounds about the office building
after it's completion, and shrubbery,
trees and grass seed planted To-day
the plant is surrounded by beautiful
greens and flowers and is considered
one OF the most progressive firms in
Batre.

have replaced the unsightiy granite
refuse. To improve this, granite dust
has been carefully spread over tho
roads between or about the two plants,
its whiteness forming a beautiful con
trast to the well-kept lawns, so smooth
and velvety. and the numerous colors
of full -bloomed flowers.
The scheme is gaining much favor
with other granite manufacturers, who
are now emulsting the example Of
these pioneers.
