RUSSIAN CHILDREN
 GIVEN GOOD CARE
Health Committee Finds Better
 Provisions for Them

London Feb. 1.-Two bright spots have been found in the soviet regime in Russia by commission sent to that country by the health committee Of the league of nations
 These spots are the provisions made for taking care of children and the attention paid to scientific research.
 The commission found that, despite all difficulties, the Russian children, apparently were being taken care Of in rehensive way and that the present regime has done it's utmost to obtain proper conditions foi the development of the child. It ad e. however, that in view of the ditn- cult state of things which at present exists in Russia, the custom has grown up of voluntarily abandoning the child to the care of the state."
 Despite all obstacles, it was found that scientific studies in behalf of public health were pursued with the utmost zeal
 Tn Moscow alone" the report states, there were l2 municipal bac- teriological laboratories while in the Moscow district there were 30"
 The league commission found the central public health administration in the hands of fully competent medi- cal officers
 It found also that the difficulty of railway transport in Russia had tend ed 10 limit it's cholera and typhus epidemic If the railway traffic had been normal, the commission said, the cholera would have spread westward. |
 The commission declared that there was no doubt that the famine and l spread Of epidemics were related one to the other. Cholera" it states. | seems 10 have been almost entirely limited to the famine district, while typhus is mainly restricted to the same district
 The commission suggested that the Russian government conclude a sani- tary convention and an anti epidemic agreement with adjoining countries. The peoples health comm isssry eX- pressed his readiness to do so and was anxious to make such an agreement first of all with Poland.

Uncle Harry Tails
About Recent Drought

Uncle Harry. it seems strange tc
me that with all our scientific know
ledge and progress we aren't able to
suard against prolonged dry spells
said Jimmy.
Il have wondered about that,
too" put in Helen. I'VE have sub
stitutes for coal and substitutes for
silk and substitutes for oil, but we
haven't any substitute for water. It
seems as If we frequently have
either too much or too little of It in
one part of the country or another" /"
1T does look very much that
way" answered Uncle Harry. But
it is not so much question Of find
ing a substitute for water as it is
of conserving what we already have.
Almost as mucaa damage is done by
floods and prolonged rainy spells as
there is by continued drought.
fI have told you before of the
efforts on the part of insurance
companies, to guard against COM
mercial loss in the event OF rain on
occasions such as games, ba0aars.
charity fetes, athletic meets, races,
etc, but that is merely a financial
safeguarding against the results of
an unpleasant day.
'yyhe effect of drought or floods is
a much more serious matter for 1t
effects the whole country. As you
probably know the rainfall in the
West and Northwest and parts of
the South Is confined to certain
periods of the year and for long
stretches ct a time there is abso-
lutely no rain. The problem of the
scientists has been to store up that
supply of moisture while It is
a abundant and then when the country
is going through a period of no
rain, to let loose the accumulated
supply of water and spread it over
those parts of the country that
would be arid and unproductive
without moisture"
They do that out in California
don't they?" asked Joe. Nearly all
the land owners have systems OF
irrigating and during the dry spell
they depend on that source of supply
to keep things growing"

A Little Talk on Thrift
By S. W. sTRAUS, President of the American Society
for Thrift

81 never have been able to get
ahead much. Luck has always
seemed TO be against me-"
This was one of the closing SEN
tences OF a pathetic letter written re-
Gently by a man well on In years,
who was in dire financial difficulties.
Such statements always arouse ones
deepest pity. and. at the same time,
should teach a most valuable lesson
in thrift.
We hear much about good luck
and bad luck IN the world--a great
deal more than is best for our prog
ress.
When we analyze personal success
we find the element of luck had little
or nothing 20 do with II. And when
we analyze the failures we find that
bad luck was not TO blame.
so-ca,led bad luck should be a
blessing in disguise. for, IN overcom-
ing It. we gain strength, courage and
ability And so-called good luck
very often brings direct or eventua
failure and ruin.
II you are in any way depending
on the winds OF good luck TO watt
you into the harbor OF your dreams

I regular and limited, artificial
methods are employed whereby the
water from swollen rivers, and
mountain snow and ice is kept IN
check by means of dams and reser-
voirs and stored up against the time
when there is scarcity.
Then too, there is a good deal of
talk about the effect cutting down
the large forests has had on the
supply of rain. AS everybody knows.
trees-in fact foliage Of all kinds
hold the moisture and distribute It
more evenly and slowly over the
country. In nearly all the instances
OF cloud bursts and floods there has
been a scarcity of big trees 10 hold
back the moisture and keep It from
inundating the country. Experts
who are constantly stresstng the
preservation of the big trees have
more on their side than merely the
preservation OF beauty of scenery or
the prevention of a scarcity Of wood
pulp. They realize the importance
OF a natural method of retaining
moisture and holding It in check,
and they also realize the immense
effort IL Is to think out and supply
artificial methods Of doing the same
thing.
'One reason why we suffer from
abnormal dry spells Is that the
country has been scientifically
charted and certain sections normal
ly receive a certain amount OF rain
fall. When. for some unexplained
reason, this rainfall IS delayed or
arrested, there is damage to the
crops, abnormal heat. and all the
dlsagreeable effects of something
that is not expected, and therefore
not guarded against. II would be
well to have an emergency reser-
voir from which we could draw IN
just such unexpected, abnormal oc-
casions."
