MAINE PUBLIC HEALTH ASSN

The annual report Of Executive
Secretary Thurbcr Of the Maine Pub
lie Health Association, abstract Of
which is printed elsewhere, merits
attention. especially at this time
when the subject of public health is
insisting on consideration, and prop
erly so.
This reports bears conclusive evil
dence that the energy of Secretary
Thurber is bearing good fruit: athat
he has aroused a general interest in
health problems and has enlisted
support of influential agencies in the
cause. 1t is reasonable to hope much
from enlightening and interesting the
people when we see what has been
accomplished in reducing the tuber-
cular scourge by similar methods
from 1913 deaths in 1892 to G33 in
1921.
Through his unique Health Plan"
and the Modern Health Crusade
among the school children he intro
duced methods that ought to bring
results. The further evidence that
his efforts are meeting with appre-
citation financially and through CO.
operation are also an encoura ging
feature.

men all the service that the work
has needed, and we believe it has
for there are no facts yet appearing
to prove the Observation-Disclosures
are not necessarily facts-then at
least Maine should give them credit
for what has been accomplished.
Governor Baxter remarked in
course Of his speech at the rally in
Winthrop Thursday evening, that he
thought excellent work had been done
on the Maine highways and he didn't
believe the people, if it were posi-
bic to get back the money which had
been expended and go back to the
old conditions of our highways, would
wish to do so. He thought this a
fair test and we agree with him.

traffic in the past few years. On
road in Liberty, for instance, the av-
crage for twelve hours in 1919 was
1O3, for 1920 was 139, for 1921, ia
vehicles. At Scarboro over a longer
period the result showed for the av-
erage dailyperiod of II hours the fol-
lowing: in 1916, 1149, in 1917, 1873, in
1918. 1855, in 1919, 1892, in 1920, 1855,
in 1921. 1858, or nearly three times as
much traffic as five years before.
Mr. Dinsmore says: There is no
question that the ma jority of the peo-
pie of Maine are not in favor of up
holding the S. II. c. and the policy
theyeare pursuing" etc. But if so it
is not because the ma jorty is not
being served by the highway legisla-
ton we have, for it is dcmonstrable
that it has provided better roads for
more than seventy per cent of them.
Is it not possible that Mr.. Dinsmore
is misinformed, that he has been
hearing only from the 90 to 80 per
cent of the people? Is it not also
possible that when that q per cent
get broader vision Of the highway sit
uation they will feel differently about
the matter? We hope so, for we wish
to see the good work that has been
done in Maine against no end Of diff
hcuties continued.
AN article Which states only one
side is defective and should not be
attempted by our public officers" re-
marks Mr.. Dinsmore. Again would
we ask does he refer to the two mem
bers of the highway department who
are on the job, with the records of
their work to substantiate what they
may say, or does he allude to that
member who is on the public plat
form and whom Mr. PattanGall asso-
ciates with his misleading, incorrect
statements? AS we see it, the in
formation obtained from the records
in the highway department are not
likely to befog the public, but that
presentation which is being made by
Messrs. Pattangall and Nelson is cal
culated to do so, and this opinion is
based on what we have been able to
learn of the situation, not on a de-
sire to play politics with this ques-
ton nor for any other reason than
that which every resident of the
State should have, the getting of the
best possible highways with the
means at disposal.
We think the highway department
has been honestly, fearlessly and on
the whole wisely managed; that the
n embers who have done the work
which there was for them to do are
entitled to credit They are men,
whom it is doubtful il the State could
employ for full time at the salary
proposed for the full-time commits

has been able to secure from such

cHlcAGo's NEW ZOO

Chicago expects to have the largest
animal museum in the world. 1t will
be known as the Chicago Geological
, Garden. Construction work will be
well under way by the summer of
1923.
The Chicago Geological Society, I'M
der the leadership OF John T. Nc
Cutchcon, is the prime mover of the
enterprise. 1t is estimated that ST.
100000 will be needed. Life mem
berships will be sold as one means
of raising money.
The best features of geological gar
the Chicago 200" A committee
comprising three commissioners and
the chief engineer of the county are
at present in Europe studying the
garden layout They will make a
special study Of the Hagenbeck Gar
dcns at Hamburg, Germany.
Most of the land has been donated
by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCor-
mick. The county is to hold the
title to the garden and maintain it.
The most interesting feature of the
garden will be, animals will appear to
live in their natural habitats. There
will be lagoons for wading birds. fish
will swim in what look like natural
basins. and animals will be confined
by a shelving arrangement of rocks.
1t is estimated that the yearly ex-
penso will be s150000.

What may prove TO be a swindle

Thursday by Sheriff A. G. Rogers,
after complaints had been made by
several citizens that they had been
insulted by a young man who was
going from house to house soliciting
funds for disabled veterans Of the
World War. On investigation Sher-

have been doing a wholesale business
in many parts of the State of Maine
