7 POSITIONS

Graduation exercises for the seven
teenth class of public health workers
to be trained by the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association will be neld
Friday, April, %, at the Health Ser.
vice Bulldog, 558 Jefferson Street.
Members of the class are: Selah K.
Baird, Sadieville, Ky; Mabel A. Boen-
ing, Ripon; Pearl NJ. Goldman, Stou-
ghton; Linda Friesch, Oconomowoc;
Cecilia M. Closing, Festina, Ia; Mrs.
Mary Grosskopf, West Allis; Bessie
NJ. Pease, Geneva, ILL.,; Mary Regain,
Marine City, Mich.;- Helen E. Waugh,
Wauwatosa, and Mrs. Johanna Clark.
Fort Atkinson.
The four months of intensive train
ing which these nurses have received
includes experience in practically ev-
cry phase Of public health work, as
the lecture course is supplemented by
field work. During the first six weeks
this consisted of observation tript;
with nurses from the City Health De-
partment and the Visiting Nurses AS
ISOLATION. Each member of the class
was assigned to a nurse from these
organizations whom she accompanied
on her visits into the homes and fac
tories, and thus gained first hand in
formation on problems of infant hy-
giene, prenatal care, tuberculosis and
industrial problems. The latter part
of the course was devoted to field work
in the rural districts, and each mem
Der Of the class worked IN the rural
schools under the direction of the chief
nurse of the County Dispensary. A
series of inspection trips to institu-
lions and industrial plants was anoth-
er interesting feature of the course.
The Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis
Association conducts three of these
courses each year, but because of the
necessity of providing field work, can
only take a limited number in each
class. Twelve applications have been
accepted for the next course, which
will start May 2.

WHO SERVED
WITH Allies GET
PREFERENCE:

Washington, D. c., April 24.-Under
a ruling of the United States Civil
Service Commission today, citizens of
the United States who served in the
forces Of the Allies during the World
War will be given preference in ap-
pointments to civil service positions
Heretofore, the preference was ex-
tended only to those who served in
the American forces, to their widows,
and to their wives under certain con-
ditions.
In authorizing this extension of the
preference, the Civil Service Com
mission states that consideration is
given to the fact that service in the
forces of the Allies was in common
cause, and for considerable time un-
der a common commander-in-ch chief !;
that is, after March 20, 1918, when
Marshal Foch was placed in command
of all the allied forces.

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business
would langufsh in a day, and be at a
standstill in week. Public opinion
would die Of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive
1t is the biggest distinctive business
in the world and it comes nearer to the
innermost interests Of a greater num-
Der Of men and women than any other
Institution on earth No private bust
ness, however widespread, touches SO
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
istratiOns.
postal Improvement Week" has
been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of its kind In the Postal Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organizations. large users OF
the mail, newspapers, motion pictures
advertisers, and the entire organlZa-
ton of $4,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted in this countrywide campaign
of interest In postal improvements
Your help is vital. Address your let
tiers plainly with pen or typewriter
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don't abbreviate.> Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and always look at your letter before
dropping In the mail to see if it Is
properly addressed This care in the
use of the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mail matter.
If you have any complaints of poor
service make them to your postmaster
He has instructions to investigate them
and report to the department.

been slyly whispered that the move
ment to save for public use the re-
gion Of wild woods and waters known
as the Northern Lakes park, is in
the interest Of the individuals and
corporations who-own the land The
character and standing of the men
and women of the state who are Civ
ing time and energy to the work in
hand should be a sufficient answer
to talk of this kind. It is i'll payment
of good deeds.
The purpose of the movement is t i
save a remnant of the natural beauty
which marked all of northern Wis
consfn half century ago, and to
dedicate it to the use of the people
The purpose is to do this whether
the owners of land are willing or
unwilling to sell it. The determine
ton is to pay for the land a reason
able price and no more. Months ago
a committee was appointed to act
with the work of acquiring the land
This committee consists of ex-Gov.
E. L. Philip, w. H. Hatton, Walter
H. Bender, Fred J. Schroeder, J. H.
Puelicher, Fred S. Olson, E. A.
Marthens, Judge Asa K Owen, F. A.
Cannon and H. E. Moehlenpah
No one who knows the members
of the committee will doubt that they
will be ready and able to protect the
interests of the public Means have
been found to acquire the land at
reasonable prices even though any
of the owners should ask excessive
prices. The law permits the state
conservation commission not only to
accept sites for public parks, but tc
purchase land for public parks. The
commission, moreover, has full au-
thority to condemn land selected for
state parks
The conservation commission has
agreed to accept the norther lakes
region when it is rendered as a state
park and it has agreed to exercise its
power to condemn land in any case
that may be necessary. This arrange
ment should be effective for resist
! ing any demands for exorbitant
prices. If the whispers of sus-
picion-and there are only a few of
then1-persist in their course, it will
be we'll for all who hear their words
to ask them point blank for proof
This was done in one case and it was
quickly followed with retraction and
apology.-Milwaukee Journal.

The new Mayor took it upon HIM
self, at the first meeting of the Com
mon Council, to recommend the Daily
Tribune as the official city paper. This
act was probably all right, if he felt
that way, but it was uncalled for and
in bad taste when he knew there was
another paper in the community. He
could at least have allowed the coun-
cilmen to decide that matter as they
always had done before. The Wood
/ County Reporter presented the Com
mon Council with bid which, so far
has not even been presented.
