FOR HEALTH
OF CHILDREN

DO you want healthy children?"
"Of course, you say, what a foolish
question"
DO you know how Baton Rouge, the
state capital, thinks in this matter?
First these facts: many Louisiana
towns, more Louisiana parishes and a
large majority of the cities all over
our United States, have regular paid
Health Supervisors for their schools.
Baton Rouge has in the past spas
medically and most satisfactorily en-.
joyed this privilege, by courtesy Of
our local physicians, and the state and
national authorities.
Now, the Parish School Board, aided
and abetted by the Civic League. the
League Of Women Voters, the Re.
viewers Club, the Social Science Club,
the Mariethia Johnson Pareilt
Teachers Club, as we'll as the City
Association of Clubs is formulating
a plan to be presented to the Health
Supervision for our city schools. !
The question was thoroughly discussed
and favorably reported at the July
meeting Of the board. The members
Of the committees most actively in
terested are: Mrs. l.. u. Babin, Mrs.
Royal Tucker, Mrs. C. H. Stumberg,
Miss Daisey Bailey, Mrs. D. w.
Thomas, Mrs. Nora Doherty and
Messrs. Paulsen, Duncan, Dixon, Cor
don, Hatcher and Mrs. Albritton of the
School Board.
If you are truly interested won't
you confer with them and help?
Bring your schools, where your chill
dren live so large part of their lives,
up to the point of sanitation already
achieved in your homes. 1t is vital
this question-you can't afford the
costly epidemics "enjoyed" in past
years.

THE MUSIC CLUB
BY Mrs. II. ]. FeltuS

~ NAlS' II. y. I eituS.
Music Is Gods best gift to man, the
oS1y art Of heaven.
Given to earth, the only art of earth
we take to heaven.
Thirteen years ago Mrs. L. S. Sor-
ley together with eleven co-workers:
Mines. Blain, Coates, Hearin, Heath,
Feltus, Devall, Jones, Reed, and
Misses Fife Raymond and Alexia
Sigh, organized the "Music Club"
The object and purpose of this club
was to awaken in the minds of musi-
clans zeal for a deeper and more
thorough understanding of the study
and appreciation of music, the lam
ecage of feeling.
Under the auspices of this club
Baton Rouge has been given the privi-
lege and opportunity of hearing such
eminent artists as Mischa Elman,
Maude Powell, Cecil Tanning, etc.
That this club has proven a factor
In the advancement of music is evil
denced by its phenomenal growth to
a membership of two hundred, and the
further fact that it is today recognized
as one of the leading clubs of the state.
When first organized, with Mrs. S.
l.. Sorley as president, the meetings
were held semi-monthly at the homes
of the members, but the membership
out grew this condition and the meet
ings have been held semi-monthly at
tse Presbyterian Annex. In future,
the meetings will be held at the
"Woman's Club House, the home of
the Association of Clubs" Of which
Association the Music Club as an
active member has played an impor-
tant part in the purchase of the house.
It is in this club house that the hand
some Concert Grand Steinway piano,
privately owned by the Music Club, is
installed.
The programs as designed and rem
dered are beautifully finished and ar
tistic in quality and technique.
An interesting feature of the club
is the annual meeting, which is con-
sidered the musical event of the year.
The success of this club is largely
due to the splendid and untiring
efforts Of the present president, Mrs.
W. S. Holmes, who has served in this
capacity for six years.
It is music that appeals to the heart
and leads men by pleasant paths to
the deepest things of God.

TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT

Baton Rouge is growing bigger
That's what We want. We would do
all that women can do to help.
Baton Rouge is growing nosier.
That's what we don't want. We will
help again all we can if we can.
The noise nuisance is not being COM
planned about by just few. Not lust
a few realize that it is unnecessary to
have so much noise when using an
automobile or truck.
There are traffic ordinances in our
town and their enforcement has been
requested and steps taken by the
authorities in that direction.
Automobile drivers should be warn
ed and be made to remember the law
if not the1 annoyance they may be caus-
ing othe''. Needless noises and the
injury and sorrow automobiles bring
upon those hurt by accident, many
times caused by recklessness, careless
land fast driving, should be thought of,
Auto drivers: why not use cut outs
and care? You will fare better and
co-drivers will cooperate with you.
Memphis forbids license to car dri-
vers without cut outs; Chicago arrests
neople for driving without them.
Baton Rouge is not quite as big yet
as some of these other places but just
as soon as you, car drivers, whether
for pleasure or for profit, take care
not to make so much noise and do not
run over people. Baton Rouge will be
a city when life is safe, at least. so
far as auto accidents are concerned.

Association Of City Clubs should come
into existence as clearing house of
wOmen's ideas for the coordination of
womens activities, and it was equally
natural that the question of club
house should be among the first ques-
tons for the Association of City
Clubs to solve.
War work had impressed on wo-
mans mind (if, indeed, the feminine
mind did not already know it, that
the best way to do a thing is to do
it," and they had caught the fine,
strong spirit Of the doughboy's Lets
go,."
Therefore, 1--WE are going to have
a club house." said one of the women
through the Association. "Where?"
and "How' few asked skeptically.
The Housewives League representa-
tives gave the answer in part, by
telling Of various properties they had
considered, including the unused First
Christian Church, which was to be had
for s9,5OO.OO.
Lets co." exclaimed the women
Though the minutes do not set it
forth in this FORM So Mrs. C. H.
Stumberg, president of the Associa-
ton of City Clubs appointed finance
committee. The Housewives League
put up the option money, and later
stock in an equal amount. A month
later, the woman owners of $50
shares of paid up stock at $1,000 a
share met and adopted the charter of
Woman's Club, Inc. took over the
property paid the first instalment of
$500, signed mortgage notes for the
balance at one, two and three years,
and gave the women's organizations
of Baton Rouge a home that is a |
joy and pride; and "Darned if they
didn't do it themselves said one
Of the originally soothing men, Except
for letting a man lawyer draw their
charter and a negro man cut the grass

board of fifteen, eight to serve for two
years and seven for one year. The
first board consists of the following
Mrs. J. A. Tucker, PRESIDENT; Mrs
l.. U. Babin, First Vice-President;
Mrs. W. Carruth Jones, Second Vice
President; Mrs. A. R. Albritton,
Treasurer; Mrs. G.. A. Waterman,
Secretary; Mines. Elmo Bailey, c. E.
Coates, Hypolite Cohn, Anthony
Doherty, J. St. Clair Favrot, George
Zoos, w. S. Holmes, Joe Ramires, c.
H. Rice.
As part of the financing Of the
purchase, the board of managers set
aside all money received from sale Of
stock as a fund for the retirement Of
the mortgage notes as they fall due
annually. This fund is placed at in
.terest to partially offset the interest
on the notes. Several hundred dollars
is already available against the note
that comes due nearly a year hence.
All other revenues 60 into the gen.
eral fund, which may of course be
diverted in part to the retirement Of
mortgage notes. This fund includes
dues Of 500 = year On isdtvidasl
members, and the board Of managers
is vested by the bylaws with author
ity to fix charges for the use of the
club house for the purposes other than
the regular meetings Of the organi-
cations composing the Association Of
City Clubs. These have the free use
of the club house for their business
meetings Any gatherings for which
admission is charged will contribute
to the general fund.
Plans have been made for slight
interior alterations Of general char
acter, and special arrangements will
be made to accommodate The Little
Theatre Guild in way that it will
make it one Of the best equipped clubs
of it's kind in this part of the country.
The architecture of the building is such
that the tower is the only distinctively
church feature. This can be easily
changed without hurting the harmony
of the building. The completion OF
the improvements referred to, before
the annual convention of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs, which
will be held in the club house in No.
vember, is one of the definite marks
that the club members have fixed for
themselves in the line of immediate
accomplishment. These plans, and
the program for furnishings, of course
call for money. The dues will be sup
plemented in the general fund by the
proceeds of various entertainments
given by the club itself, as we'll as
fees for the use of the club by other
organizations when used for profit.
The first of the entertainments de-
cided on have already proven very
attractive to parents, as we'll as to the
children for whom devised. Several
of the club members are expert story
tellers, and volunteered for "story tel
ling hour" every Friday from until
Is o'clock. These hours have proved
profitable to the club as we'll as de-
lightful to the many little patrons and
not inconsiderable lumber of grown
ups. Ehe more pretentious entertain
ments that will follow from time to
time may Yield more dollars for the
general fund, but it is doubtful that
any of them can prove more delight
full to their patronage.

CARE OF FARM EQUIPMENT
DURING COLD WEATHER PAYS

Much of the loss and annoyance
caused by breakage of farm equipment
may be avoided by carefgul inspection
and repair of weak parts before the
seasons rush begins.
The proper time for making repairs
is during the winter and at tines
when the regular farm work is not
urgent, specialists Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
say. As the season advances. i'm
plements which will be needed for the
next farming operations should be
gone over and given any attention
required to make them ready for
immediate use. If the farm machin-
cry is not properly housed during
periods of disuse, it is all the more
/ important that it should be given a
careful overhauling. After inspec-
ton an implement, tightening bolts,
Strengthening weak parts, and re-
newing broken pieces, the necessary
painting should be done, FREQUENT
applications of dark metallic paint
consisting either of red lead or vene-
tian red and raw linseed oil, not
only improve the appearance of farm
implements, but add greatly to theli
durabil ty.
This is an age when appearances
count, and farmers standing Il he
community frequently IS governed oy
the appearance OF his Earn, ecu o.
ment. The man who spends his So
moments in tho repair of fences and
gates and maintaining a neat appear
ance of the entire farm has better
chance of becoming leader in his
community than the man whose farm
has o slovenly appearance.

I'm 1910 the fruit growers asked
the minister of agriculture in British
Columbia to protect them from de-
struction by appointing bee inspect
ors. At that time there were 500
beokeepers and they produced not
over 20 tons of honey. In 1919, 900
beekeepers produced so tons; in
1915, 100 beekeepers produced 100
tons: in 1916. 1850 produced 120

What is credit" asked Henry.
Credit is the faith man has in

How then can l get that integ'

That is simple. Spend wisel,

DIARY OF \ DOLLAR,

Sunday-Share With Others. This
! s fundamental part of George
Warmers money program, my recent
! owner. 1t appears that there are
certain institutions which exist for
the welfare Of others, non-commec
ciAl organizations that depend upon
the unselish giving of folks to carry
on their necessary work.
The church is one OF these. No
self-respecting individual wants to

church by organizing righteous
forces helps to maintain high moral
standards. Through its services
people are helped to live better lives.
Even real estate values are improved
it's work. When there is a weddin:
a representative of the church is
called in to perform this happy cere-
mony. When the children come
along they are sent to the Sunday
School for religious instruction. When
death saddens the home, the minister
brings comfort at the funeral service
| Everyone" says George, "Wheth
err religiously inclined or not, bene-
| fits by the existence of the church.
| Everyone therefore is under an obi.
cation to give a proportion Of his or
her income toward its support"
What is true of the church is true
also Of other institutions devoted to
unselfish causes, most Of which are
conducted by the church or by church
people. 1t is true of hospitals, col
leges, universities, missions, orphan
homes, Y. N. c. A., etc.
George gives one-tenth Of his in
come to such worthy projects and
says he believes most folks can do as
well and many even better. He keeps
a budget, puts away 10 per cent for
savings, 10 per cent for giving and
lives on the balance. Thus he ac-
knowledges Gods ownership of all
things and mans duty Of steward
ship.
So when George took me to divine
worship today, l was not surprised
to have him give me to the church
when the offering was taken.
II used to think l was doing pretty
well," sad George, when l gave a
quarter. But the cost Of running a
church successfully has increased a.;
