constitutional Amendments Garry

The results or the vote on the con-
stitutioual amendments submitted at
the recent election await the canvass
ing of the returns by the state canvass
ing board, but judging from incom-
nlete returns received at Boise. it is
believed that all the amendments car
ried, with one or two possible excep-
tions. The amendments were more
popular in the southern part of the
state than in the northern part and
1t is believed that the southern vote
in their favor will overcome majorities
from northern counties which were ad-
verse.

xmas Seal Sale Not Roll Call Work

Owing to confusion in the public
mind and even to certain extent of
Red Cross workers themselves, re-
garding the exact relationship between
the American Red Cross Roll Call and
the sale of Christmas seals by the Ma
tional Tuberculosis association, the
following explanation may be of in
terest:
There is no official connection be-
tween the campaign of the National
tuberculosis association and the
American Red Cross.
There is to be no use of the Red
Cross emblem by the National Tuber-
culosis association.
The title, American Red Cross" is
not to be used on the tuberculosis
seal or stationery.
This is not to be construed as mean
ing that the Red Cross is not vitality
interested in the success of the Ma
tional tuberculosis association; their
work is of inestimable value, and the
Red Cross thoroughly approves the
campaign and sincerely hopes for its
success. If Red Cross chapter mem
bers, as individuals, wish to take part
in the anti-tuberculosis campaign, the
Red Cross will heartily approve OF
their doing so, tut in the interests OF
both organizations it is important
that the arrangement set forth above
is distinctly understood by all Red
Cross workers

Prominent Men Seeking Important
Committee Memberships.

Inc fourth Roll Cali campaign Of
the American Red Cross began last
Thursday-Armistice Day. In Bound
airy county, as in most other counties
and states, the preliminary work OF
the campaign had been done for a week
or more and many MEMBERSHIPS were
solicited before the formal opening of
the campaign.
Mrs. Margaret Dehlbom is chairman
of the campaign in this county and
has appointed an efficient corps OF
district chairmen and solicitors from
whom she is already receiving encour-
aging reports. During the week So
licitors have been stationed at the
Bonners Ferry postoffice and many
volunteer memberships have been OBJ
tanned
Following is a list of solicitors and
district chairmen for the county as
named by Mrs. Dehlbom, county chair
man:

1t will undoubtedly be necessary to
carry on a house to house solicitation
in order to maintain and enlarge the
present Red Cross membership in this
county. The personal solicitation
campaign will be started soon In the
meantime it is hoped that there will
be many more voluntary memberships
secured.
The fourth Roll Call campaign will
end on Thanksgiving Day.
The Roll Call this year will be a
test of our ability and our willingness
to help others who are in distress.
There are many little children right
here in our own community as well
as abroad who are sorely in need OF
better food, warmer clothing, correct
i've treatment for physical defects and
more health education.
One needs to make a survey of the
county to fully realize this crying
need.
Several families have been given aid
in the past year in the way of food and
clothing.
Many physical defects have been de-
tected as a result of school inspection
and a large number of these defects
have been corrected already. There is
much more to be done along this line
and if everyone in Boundary county
will become a Red Cross member We
can continue the work that is only JUS
begun.
Mrs. j. S. Bond, chairman of tht
Naples branch, reports about rs mem
berships have been secured there the
first week.

THE MANEUVERS OF THE COUNTY GRADER

It is reported that the county pow
er grader has returned to point two
miles east of Wolf Point on the sur
vey of the Roosevelt highway, and
has begun work. The Herald's com
ment on the sudden taking away Of
the rig from this location a couple of
weeks ago brought forth lengthy
protest from the Poplar Standard, in
which it seeks to defend Commits
sioner Patch and claims that every
body knows that the west end of the
county has had its full share of road
work. The Standard says that the
grader was taken away because the
highway commission was not ready
to use it there. But it would be in
teresting to know just what trans
pired to cause the highway commits
sion to get ready for the rig, because
conditions were just the
same when the rig returned, except
ing for the setting up of few grade
stakes which the engineer could have
done in a couple Of hours time.

BABIES THIS YEAR
BETTER THAN LAST
FEWER NEED MEDICAL ATTEN-
TION-GIRLS AVERAGE
BIGGER THAN BOYS

Sixty children were brought to the
Monday and Tuesday to be weighed
and measured and examined by the
physicians. Several of these were
from the country, some mothers driv-
ing in twenty-five or more miles in
order to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to have their children ex-
amined. It was disappointing to the
women in charge Of the clinic that
such comparatively small number
of the city children were brought.
There are over 200 children under
six years of age in the city and the
nearby community.
The percentage of children having
physical defects, among those ex-
amined, was considerably lower than
it was in 1919. Some children who
were all right in every respect
year ago were found at this clinic
to be in need of medical attention.
Both facts show the value of clinic
of this sort.
Enlarged tonsils led the list of
physical imperfections, and navel
rupture came second, and adenoids
third Only one of the children ex-
amined was afflicted with anemia,
and two had .rickets.
Of the sixty children brought to
the clinic, % were boys and 38 girls.
20 children, or one-third of the child
ren, were between the ages of one
and two years, Ia were under year,
10 were between two and three, s
between and a, 5 between 4 and 5,
and only 8 between 5 and 6.
Over so per cent of the children
were under the weight given in gov
ernment statistics as the average for
their ages, and nearly the same num-
Der were under the average height,
while about 80 per cent were above
the average in weight and height.
The percentage of girls that were
overweight and large for their age
was considerably greater than that
of the boys measured, while there
was greater percentage of boys |
that were below the average in both |
weight and height. In number of |
cases, however, the children were
average weight for their height, and |
were found to be physically normal.
1t was found that many of those suf I
fering from some abnormal physical I
condition were also underweight.

JUDGES DECREE GIVES
CHILDREN TO MOTHER

The divorce case in which Leslie
Dexter was plaintiff and Minnie Lou
Dexter defendant, was brought up
again in district court Sept. IA. The
case was reopened on petition Of the
defendant, asking that the decree be
modified and the custody of the two
children be placed with the mother
The decree of divorce was granted
Leslie Dexter when the case was first
tried and he was given tn custody of
the children.
After hearing the testimony and
the arguments of counsel, Judge Co
mer took the case under advisement
and rendered a decision, copies OF
which were received by attorneys
here today. The decision is that the
evidence showed that the plaintiff
Dexter, was not fit person to have
the custody of the children, and they
are therefore given into the hands
of Mime Lou Dexter, the mother
The sheriff, in whose charge the
children have been, pending the de-
cision Of the court, is ordered to de-
liver the children into the hands of
the mother.
