c. RMAN CHILDREN
DEATHS INCREASE
DEATHS DUE TO ovERcROWD.
ING OF HOMES IN BIG
CITES

BERLIN-Infant mortality, which
is increasing throughout Germany,
principally in cities has impelled q
widespread movement by civic vel
fare associations and mothers lea
CUES to alleviate living conditions
by securing municipal or co-opera-
tive construction Of small dwellings
in the suburbs. Colonies" of ce-
ment houses, rapidly built by use Of
moulds, have appeared by the thous-
ands in the last few months, the
occupants being assured Of abund-
ance Of light and air.
While Germany has, properly
speaking, no such things As "slums,"
the slowing up of construction dur
ing the war produced insanitary
and crowed conditions among the
poorer classes. Half a million
homes are required to relieve this
congestion in Berlin, and reports
from Hamburg say there are 1000
families, with an average Of six
children each, living in one-room
apartments. Sanitary inspectors Of
a number of cities report as many
as 10 persons living in a single
room, "being born, living, eating,
sleeping and dying in space which
only two persons could BEAUTIFULLY
inhabit."
The mortality among children in
these crowed centers has been
found to be vastly higher than with
the children Of peasants, who have
the advantage of space for play
ground, open air, and sunlight.
Meanwhile, a disinclination to In
crease the size of apartment build
ings is evident among the pro.
motors of the Healthier children"
movement.
It is pointed out that adjacent to
every Germany city there are large
tracts of untitled lands which ought
to be donated to charity by the
owners, many of whom are nom
resident or rich and who hold the
lands for speculative purposes.

BILL PROVIDES
MORE ROAD MONEY

On March 3rd Representative
Woodruff of Michigan introduced
H. R. Bill No. 1O714, providing for
further federal aid in road con.
struction for the states for the fis-
cal years 1923, 1924 and 1925.
Representative Woodruff introduced
similar bill last November, which
carried total appropriations of one
numbered million per year for five
years. The new bill now introduced
is therefore evidently through agree
ment for reduced annual federal
participation in highway construc-
tion based probably on the average
rate of expenditures which can be
carried out by the states after
taking due cognizance Of the un-
expended balance of allotments
made under previous acts.
At this writing we are not fully
advised as to the present status of
the Woodruff bill, but on March
the postoffice committee of the SEN
ate reported out the annual post
office appropriation measure, and
the bill carried in the Woodruff
bill in the house. Both bills there
fore contain the identical amounts
as follows:
For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1928. $50, zoo, 900
For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1924. $4,000, 000
For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1924. 100000

ARENTz EXPOSES
CANT A|CN DECEIT
TARIFF WILL NOT BE PLACED
ON CYANIDE BY SENATE
SAYS AREN'T

An example of the wonderful and
deceitful methods of certain poll
ticians at the National Capital is
afforded in a telegram sent to Con-
gresham Sammuel S. Arentz by
the West End Consolidated Mining
Company of Tonopah, and the Con-
gressman's characteristic reply
thereto. The documents follow and
fully explain themselves. The tele-
gram:
Tonopah, Nevada, March Is, 1922.
Hon. Sammuel S. Arentz, House of
Representatives, Washington, D. C.
We understand Senate Committee
on finance has taken cyanide from
free list and is about to impose a
heavy duty. We earnestly suggest
that this proposed tariff on cyanide
be not imposed, as it will cause SER
ious injury to the mining industry
in this district, particularly to those
mines milling low-grade ores. We
wish to register our protest against
the imposition of this tariff. We
trust that you will do all you can to
prevent this tariff from being i'm
posed.
WEST END CONS. MINING CO.
Reply of Congressman AREN'T:
Washington, D. c., March 16,
1922. West End Consolidated
Mining Co., Tonopah, Nevada.
Gentlemen
Acknowledging your wire dated
last night, regarding the rumor that
q tariff will be placed on cyanide
by the senate, and the disastrous
effect such action would have on
the Western mining industry, l
take pleasure in saying that l be-
lieve your fears are without founda-
ton. You are of course informed
Of the vote by which cyanide was
put on the free list by the Republi-
can House.
Sometime ago a report came to
me from the Senate side, and from
an undoubtedly authoritative source,
that certain Democratic Senators
who are under the necessity of max
ing campaign for reelection this
year, had conspired to work with
Senators from the East, Republicans
and Democrats, whose constituents,
the manufacturing interests, are de-
handing tariff on everything in an
effort to have a tariff placed on
cyanide by the Senate.
After this was accomplished, the
plan was for the Western Democrtic
Senators to make grandstand play
for free cyanide for their beloved
constituencies, and to block legisla-
ton until they obtained it. Thereby
they would gain pages Of publicity
in the Congressional Record and the
newspapers, which could then be
used with undoubted advantage.
They would pose as having done
something That something would
be to put the government to much
expense, and delay important BUSH
ness all for the sake Of free pub
licity.
II the Senate puts the tariff on
cyanide, ! advise you to study the
vote. / believe l can assure you
that even If the Senate takes this
action, and these Western men fail
to reverse it, the House will never
agree to the change. l cite the pre-
vious action of the House in the
matter Of tariff. Senator Oddie
and your Representative are using
their best efforts to circumvent this
fiasco.

RECEPTION
AT HOSPITAL
ATTENDED BY HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE
New Institution is a Beauty in
Every Respect and Its Support
Should be Encouraged.

A reception was held at Washburn's
new hospital last Saturday evening
which was attended by hundreds of
people from this city and elsewhere.
During the evening the visitors
were given opportunity to see every
nook and corner of this new institu
ton, as we'll as to listen to program
of music and a short talk by Rev.
Christensen.
Washburn's new hospital is modern
in ever respect. 1t has ten rooms
with ac am 1dat.ons fer twenty peop e
with operating room, offices, etc. The
rooms are large and airy with plenty
of light and finer rooms could not be
found in hospital anywhere.
1t is about as fine hospital as is
to be found in any city anywhere the
size of Washburn and all present last
Saturday evening were more than
pleased with the institution.
AS stated last week the hospital is
to be conducted by local hospital as
sociation to accomodate the needs
of the people of Bayfield, county. A
drive is being made this week to Sc
cure funds for its equipment.
