RED CROSS Is STILL RENDERING
VALUABLE SERVICE

Now that the war is over a good
many people are asking What is
the Red Cross doing? Why should
retain membership in the organiza-
tion?' Here is one very useful and
valuable service which the Red Cross
is rendering to the ex-service men.
For training the physically handi-
capped, courses are offered in schools
and colleges throughout the country
under the direction of the Federal
Board of Vocational Education. But
before the men can take training.
medical care is generally necessary;
and the sick ex-service men who may
not need training must have medical
treatment before they can take their
places as normal citizens.
For the hospitals and sanitorium
treatment of these men there are to-

CLEARED OF CHARGE

Ernest Osborne, one of the two
young men recently found guilty of
improper language before girls at
the swimming tank, was again taken
before the local justice court this
week to answer to a charge of steal
ing suit case. The charge was pre-
ierred by Carl Cox, who claimed that
the suit case had been stolen from
him. The evidence indicated that
Cox had loaned the suit case to Os-
borne, the two having been compan-
ions, and the complaint was believed
to have been filed for spite work.

THE CARLYoN BILL

One of the principal arguments
advanced by the advocates of the
Carlyon bill is that it would expedite
the construction of system of
paved roads and thereby justify the
expenditure of some $11,000.0o0 for
interest on the bond issue of $780,
100000. The assertion that the
adoption of the plan will expedite
the completion OF the paved road
system is merely an assertion, which
is not borne out by the experience
of Illinois, as set forth in the follow
ing letter received by DR., l.. G. Kim
zey in reply to an inquiry which he
sent to his brother at Mt Carmel,
Illinois
Your letter with the referendum
on the road law has been received,
and it is patterned very much after
the Illinois law, though. as l have
not copy of the Illinois law where
! can compare the two, / can not
give the exact distinction.
The Illinois legislature first
passed a law designating what towns
should be touched by the hard roads
and providing for the building of
$500 miles of hard surfaced roads:
the exact location of these roads as
between the several towns was left
to the commission to select AS at
that time, a concrete road IL feet
wide would have cost approximately
$4,000 per mile, and a brick road
approximately $4,000 or $4,000 a
mile, it was thought that bond is
sue of $60,000.000 would supply
ample funds, and this was voted at
the regular election. AT that time,
few farmers had cars, and to get the
law passed and overcome their OPP
position the law provided that these
bonds should be paid wholly from
the license fees of autos, and the
fees were consequently increased,
and for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1920, the income from automo-
bile fees was S5,731,12 as against
s1,19S,063 for the year ending June
30, 1916. OF course much of this
increase was due to the increased
number of cars as well as to the in
crease of fees, but you will see that
1t is nearly five times as great as it
was, while the actual increase in the
amount Of each license was a little
more than double.
Just as Illinois was commencing
her building operations, the war
stopped all such work, and then the
legislature increased the width of
the roads to Is feet, and a year ago.
in letting the road contracts, the
prices were around $4,000 per mile
and only about 500 miles were let
at that price, as they could not get
bidders who were equipped to bid
on the work and go ahead and build
the roads. This year when they
tried to let the bids for new roads,
the bids for the same kind of roads
and through apparently similar
physical conditions were from $4S,-
600 to $4,000 per mile, and all bids

health service hospitals with several
more scheduled soon to open. The
first of August practically 5000 men
were being cared for in these hospit-
ais In private and public hospitals
and sanitoria under contract with
the public health service about $500
men are receiving treatment. BY a
recent ruling of congress additional
provision has been made for the care
OF the men in soldiers homes and
army and navy hospitals. This will
mean the use of 1900 more beds.
The Red Cross is providing medi-
cal social service in all hospitals of
the public health service and sends
workers also to most of the contract
hospitals to look after the interests
of the men. 1t has furnished cloth
ing, hospital supplies and material
for bead work, basketry and other
forms of occupational training. II
maintains workers in the offices of
the district supervisors of the publit.
health service, where the men are in
terviewed and examined and where
they file their claims for disability.
The staff of Red Cross workers in the
supervisors office in Boston, for in
stance comes in contact with about
1000 men every month.
In Surgeon General II. S. Cum
ming's tribute to the Red Cross at
the completion of a years work he
speaks of medical social service as
the most important form of assist
ance given by the Red Cross.
Medical social service is not limit
ed to recreation and entertainment
for the men. 1t forms part of their
daily life from the time they enter
the hospital until they are dis
charged.
When a man is admitted to the
hospital he finds Red Cross worker
in the receiving ward who attends to
his immediate needs and helps him
straighten out his disability pay or
the government allowance due his
family. After he has become estab-
llshed he is visited every day bv a
Red Cross ward worker, to whom he
can appeal for any service which it
is impossible for the other attend
ants to give. She will write home
Tor him or perform any errands he
may want. If it develops that he is
worrying about conditions at home
everything possible is done through
the Red Cross chapter in the home
town to assist the family in straight
ening out it's tangle.
II the man is not confined to his
bed he can find recreation in the Red
Cross House, where there are books.
billiard and indoor tennis tables.
cards and other games, writing ma
terial and perhaps music. Entertain
ments are held here evenings. Par
ties and picture shows in the wards
are also furnished with occasional
excursions when convalescence
comes.
Finally, when the man is ready to
leave the hospital, he is advised about
further medical care and about the
opportunities for training under the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton. He is directed to go to the Red
Cross headquarters nearest his home
for further service, if it is needed.
The local Red Cross is at the same
time notified that the man is return
ing and may still have problems
which call for advice

were rejected. Since the first of the
year, l think some stretches have
been let at prices around $4,000
! per mile but the officials decided
that, as at such greatly increased
prices, the funds would not begin to
provide all the roads designated,
they would wait until prices were
| lower. However, as the great ex-
pense was apparently in the hard
surfacing materials, cement, etc.
and there was much trouble in trans
portation, they have, in many cases.
gone ahead and let the contract for
grading the roads, and the building
Of the bridges, so that when prices
do drop, it will be quicker built. The
original bill contemplated the build
ing of the entire system of hard
roads in five years but owing to the
above delays, it will be much longer.
Again, when the bonds were voted
money was cheap, and the rate of
interest voted for the bonds was only
five per cent, and if they tried to
sell them at this time, it would be
well nigh impossible to float them
except at a great discount, but as
the auto fees are piling up in the
treasury, we can build considerable
roads with the money direct with
out issuing bonds for them.
Your brother,
'WALTER r. kinney"
1t is safe to assume that the same
conditions would obtain here as in
Illinois, and that the road building
program would be indefinitely de-
layed until such time as the prices
of labor and material and the rates
of interest become normal again.
Meanwhile the estimated $4,000
600 annual receipts from auto license
fees would be piling up in the state
treasury in a special fund to be
known as the State Trunk Line
Highway Bond Redemption Fund
instead of being used for the con-
struction of a moderate mileage of
paved roads each year under the
pay-as-yOu-go plan"
