HoNoRED NAME IN MEDICINE
Henry DetwiIer, Native Of Switzerland,
the First to Practice Homeopathy
in America.

Among the first, if not the first, to
successfully practice homeopathy In
America was Henry Detwiler, who
was born in Langenbruck, Switzerland,
December Is, 1895.
He studied medicine a number Of
years before he came to this country
on a vessel containing 400 French ref
ugees who left their country after the
defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was
appointed ship physician, and success
fully treated an epidemic of dysentery
which had broken out during the pas
sage.
Coming to Pennsylvania, he settled
in the Lehigh Valley, and gained promi-
nence by treating a large number of
people who were attacked with a mys-
terious disease which he finally dag
nosed as bilious collie, resulting from
eating apple butter.
He early made a study of the sys-
tenn of medicine founded by Hahne-
mann, and in 1923 dispensed the first
remedy in Pennsylvania, in accordance
with the law of similars, and during
the remainder of his life was a devoted
hOmeOpathiSt.
Doctor Detwiler formed an intimate
acquaintance with Hahnemann, who
gave him a wonderful reception in
Paris, where he met other noted ply
sicians and scientists. He gave many
natural history specimens TO various
colleges, founded an iron industry and
finally died at the advanced age of

HOOVER PLANNING
HOUSING RELIEF
Considers Diversion of Savings Deposits
Toward Construction of
EglS Homes

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Plans for
relieving the estimated shortage of 800
900 homes throughout the country by the
diversion of greater portion of the ma
tiOn's $4,000, 100000 in sayings depos-
its into home Building are under con
sideratiOn by Secretary Hoover.
The commerce secretary considers that
there has been tendency during the last
few years for the savings of the people
to find their way into commercial paper,
bonds and similar securities rather than
into home building, while a critical .boas-
ing situation has developed, with about
III families for each 100 homes
The chief reliance of the country in the
necessary financing of home building, in
the opinion of Mr.. Hoover. must be the
savings institutions. With a total of
S22,0OO,00O available from these
sources he believes it will be found. after
eliminating the building and loan socie-
ties and actual savings banks, which de
vote about 30 per cent of their deposits
to home building, that the savings depart
ments of national banks, state banks,
trust companies and insurance compan-
les, comprising more than One-half of the
total probably do not loan more than 10
or 10 per cent of their savings assets to
housing.
Mr.. Hoover has suggested that 40 or
80 per cent of the S160, 100000 of depOS-
its in postal savings banks could be di-
verified to this, as well as larger proper
ton of the savings deposits of national
banks through amendment to the federal
reserve act.
Il believe" Mr.. Hoover said, that we
should have very much more Stable eco
nomic system if we had more regular
proportion of our savings available to
home building. There is, in fact, no other
economic fund than our savings institu-
tons from which our home building can
be safely secured"

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
u YEccTC DnpCDTc
By JESSIE ROBERTS
NOW THE FOREWOMAN

ID EFORE the war the forewomaT
- was unknown; now she IS hacom
ing increasingly common in the great
industries, especially those that en-
ploy large numbers of girls. In some
of these plants, like that of the Artifi-
cial Limb company, women are admit
ted to the foreman training classes on
an equal footing with the men.
There are two types of forewomen,
called the Institutional and the produc-
tionaI. Women who are working in
the plant are those who usually get
these appointments, and it is an in
citement to women to go to work in
these large industrial establishments
that was lacking before. ..-- ~
One of the great questions for wom-
en- today is that of equal opportunity.
1t runs hand in hand with the one
concerning equal pay. The fact that
hardly any big factory or mill employ
ing women is now without its forewom-
an shows that progress is being made.
Every woman should work toward in
creasing these opportunities for her
sex. @.~ @E s-,s5.
Many Industries are employing more
and more women in their regular
work, especially factories where DELI
cate work has to be done, such as the
assembling of adding machines, cleo
tric appliances and the like. And wom-
en- are gradually ousting men from the
matchmaking industry, so much BET
ter is their ability to handle the minute
parts used. The fact is that the girl
of nineteen or twenty has become the
typical matchmaker of the country.
Where the women have a chance TO
prove themselves they are making
good. They will get more chances and
it seems likely that they will continue
to make good. There is a real future
for the ambitious woman in the indus
tries of the country today.

ANOTHER TRUE STORY
OF RED CROSS NURSE WORK

!. Way, way down the road she saw
him trudging along through the deep
sand. AS she drew nearer she saw
that his arms were filled with books
too many and too heavy for the
strength of his little fraii body. Oh!
how it hurt to see him as he went
along so slowly, trying to push
through the heavy sand.
AS the nurse came up along side of
him, she stopped her car and inquired
how far he was going and invited him
to ride. She took his books and help
ed him in. He was SO tired and his
breathing seemed difficult. His whole
body was swollen-swollen until his
clothes looked stuffed His face was
white, his lips were colorless and his
eyes were almost closed. He look like
a child of nine or ten years and when
the nurse Inquired his age, found that
he was fifteen years old and in the
third grade. He had been. going to
school for eight years but never seem
ed to be able to "learn right"
After they had gone on about two
miles they came to his home. The
house stood in a beautiful grove of
cak trees, and as the car stopped, the
father came out and when he saw the
Red Cross on the cap of the radiator
he knew at once that this was the Red
Cross Nurse who had come home with
his boy. He invited her to go in and
sit with them awhile" On the way
to the house the father said "Nmse
I'm SO glad you came, I've been won
dcring, long time what's the matter
with this boy-he don't seem to learn
right, he aint got no ambition for
hothin' and he seems so lazy all the
time and Ive begun to think he must
be sick"
H. The nurse talked with the father
and mother about his condition and
suggested he probably had Hookworm
and advised taking him to a doctor,
The nurse learned that there were a
number of other children in the neigh
borhood who seemed to be "half sick. u
and Nurse | wish you'd go and tell
them what to do for their younguns
tell them how to build q a closet and
why they need one, and learn them
what kind of food to cook for the
famlly-thesc people around here
don't know !!iuch about such things"
AS the nurse badc them good bvc
the father called after her and said
"Ill take the boy to the doctor tomor-
row and get some medicine for him. |
wish I'd known sooner what was
wrong with him. Thank you, Nurse y
