WOUNDS FROM A FRIEND

Otto II. Kahn. the New York banker,
has just returned from an extended
trip through England. France, and
Italy, in the course of which he met
and conferred with economists, bank
ers. and statesmen in those countries
and from Russia and Germany.
Speaking Of the effect of the Versailles
treaty, Mr.. Kahn says, 1T has been a
continuous object of controversy, of
readjustment. of Interpretation, of
haggling and whiting down, and has
consumed the time. thought. and ener-
gies of the leading statesmen in the
various countries to the detriment of
domestic affairs. 1t sounds
paradOXical. but in a large sense. it il
true that Europe for the past year has
been suffering less from the effects of
the war than from the effects of the
peace" And now Messrs. Wilson and
Cox want the United States to become
a member of the league Of nations and
rush in to save Europe from the mis-
fortunes that have come to her from
the pact negotiated in part. by the
president.

A DIRT FARMER

llama Jim" Wilson died at his home
in Tama county. Iowa. August Goth.
full of years and hOnOrS.
He was for sixteen years Secretary
of Agriculture. He began his service
under Mckinley in March. 1897. and
he was retained throughout the Nc
Kinley. Roosevelt and Taft admins
trati0ns. No man in our history ever
served for such a long period cOntin-
uOusly in the Cabinet and no man in
our history rendered such Il distin-
guished service TO the agriculture of
the nation.
A couple of months since. Governor
Cox, the Democratic nominee for presi~
dent, made the remark to the effect
that if he were elected he would make
a real dirt farmer Secretary of Agri-
culture. 1t was rather an unfortunate
remark for Mr.. Cox. 1t gave Warren
G. Harding. the Republican nominee,
an opportunity to recall to the minds
of the people the fact that under Re-
publican administration "Tama Jim
a real dirt farmer, was Secretary of
Agriculture for sixteen years. but
when the Democrats came into power
they very promptly kicked out this real
dirt farmer and put in university
professor who knew nothing and
seemed to care less about the farmer
and farming.

MOTORING HEALTH
TO FARM CHILDREN

One way of giving the country child
square deal is described in a
pamphlet on The Child Welfare Spe-
cial," issued by the Children's Bureau
of the United States Department of
Labor. The child welfare special is a
motorized child welfare station which
was put into the field last summer for
the purpose of telling mothers OF chill
dren in rural districts all the things
that mothers of city children learn at
the city child health centers. The Spe-
cial has visited five rural counties,
none of which contained more than
one town of over 250O inhabitants.
Four of these were agricultural coun-
ties, and one was in mining section.
The aim of the child welfare special
is, in all eases education and not elm
ical.
1t was found that rural no less than
tOwn-bred children, present numerous
and serious physical defects in spite OF
the advantages which country life is
supposed to offer Decayed teeth and
poorly developed bones were the most
prevalent defects. though malnutrition
was common. Milk and vegetables, i'll
dispensable foods for children. even
when abundant, frequently formed
only a small part of the diet, or did
not enter into it at all. The food Of
many children in rural communities
was found to be badly chosen, poorly
prepared, and given at unsuitable
hours.
The pamphlet discusses in detail the
equipment, personnel. methods of work.
cost. and advantages and disadvantages
of the special. 1t concludes that IAN
impetus to permanent welfare work
was given more promptly, more thor
oughly. and effectually by means of a
motorized activity than would have
been possible by more conventional
methods" .--------
