Mrs. Viola Burcher

Viola, daughter of John S. and
Mary ]. Pidgeon, was born near
Pennsville, o., Oct 13, 1879, and
died near New Castle, Ind, July 20,
1923, having reached the age of 43
years, 9 months and 16 days.
At the age of 13 years, she ac-
cepted the invitation of her Savior
and went forth in obedience to His
commandments. She was buried
with her Lord in baptism at Stock
port, O., uniting with the Church of
Christ at that place. Later her
membership was transferred 10 the
Pennsville congregation, where she
still held membership at the time Of
her death. On May 80. 1901, she
was married to w A. Burcher To
this union were born four children,
three of whom with their father are
left to mourn her death.
Besides the cares of her house
hold, such as are common to wives
and mothers, many tasks were left in
her hands that are not common to
all as her husbands duties as a min
lister of the gospel called him away
from home and loved ones much Of
the time But Size cheerfully per-
formed her part. making sacrifices
Of which no one knows, excepting
those who have experienced the
same. She stood faithfully by her
husbands side, amid the trials and
hardships that come upon all true
ministers of the gospel She was
always ready and willing to share
with him the sorrows and disap-
pointments of this life and to help
make his work as successful as pos
sible. In his absence she taught her
children to honor their Savior and
to lead such lives as are becoming
to all. In other words the fire that
was kindled by the father on the
family altar was kept burning in his
absence as when he was present. She
lived to see her two older children
baptized into Christ and take upon
themselves the responsibility of
Christians. Paul was baptized Just
q few hours before the accident
which led 10 his mothers death.
The most of Mrs. Burcher's life
was spent in the community where
she was born. She was loved and
respected by all who knew her Her
life was an omen book that could he
read by all. But her work on earth

RAIN MAKING is FUTILE
GOVT. EXPERTS BELIEVE
Have No Method OF Producing Pre-
cipitation in Quantities Enough
for Any Use


Washington, March 2i.-Rain- maxi
Ing in the official opinion OF the u. s.
weather bureau Is an entirely futile
undertaking as are other schemes for
artihcially affecting atmospheric be-
havior.
"The governments meteorologists, :"
said a statement by the bureau today,
do not know OF any scheme for the
production artifcialy of rain on q
scale of practical magnitude, nor for
otherwise affecting atmospheric be-
havior.
1T Is true that In the laboratory q
small amount of moisture can be
prccipitated by the use of special
equipment. But widespread drought
is due to lack OF sufficient moisture
in the atmosphere and the absence of
other conditions essential to the for
nation of rain.
ITO produce one inch of rainfall
ever an area of an acre Approximately
113 tons OF moisture would have to
be drawn up into the air and then
rrecipitated. For square mile
1880 tons of moisture would be re-
CURED. A square mile however,
would be scarcely dot in the center
Of any section where drought pre-

Millions WASTED
ON VETS HOSPITALS
Secretary Mellon Hears How
| Money Is Squandersd

Washington, ID. c., March 2l.---Ir
a report to Secretary Mellon DR.. vii.
liam Charles White. chairman OF the
board of consultants on hospitaliSa.
ton, asserted that many millions had
been wasted by q sllpshod and vague
plan for caring for sick veterans Of
the World War.
He pointed out that $4,000, 00t
had been spent since 1917, and cited
that twenty projects had cost $4,000
a bed, when less than half that would
have sufficed.
The statement of Dr.. White which
was signed by his associates, Drs
Frank Billings, John G. Bowman and
George II. Kirby. tells of friction with
the Veterans bureau, which delayed
work at various times.
In eight recommendation to Mr..
Mellon the consultants en- hospitaliza-
ton warn of idle hospitals.
ut Is apparent as a result Of this
period of hospital construction there
will be greater number Of hospitals
than can be utilized for the purpose
for which they were built" they as
sert. These economic use should be
q matter of constant study. To aban-
don them, to maintain them below a
certain percentage of occupancy or to
put them to a use for which they arc
not adapted will be wasteful."
Three avenues of disposal are sug-
gested: To transfer them to the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers. to the United States Public
Health Service for Marine Hospital
Bases and Sale, or transfer to States.
DR.. White said mistake was made
by trying to standardize the work Of
the hospitals. The plan was all right
for the buildings, but not the patients.
The program of the consultants on
disqualification was unavoidably delay
ed by the establishment of the Veter-
ans Bureau, the White report states.
Confusion followed the enactment of
the law creating that body.
THE Veterans Bureau refused the
treasury the use of surplus supplies
and for weeks it was impossible to
draw on supplies for equipment" it is
asserted. THE consultants were faced
with the problem of purchasing COM
plete equipment of the treasury hospi-
tails irrespective of the government
possession of supplies for this pur-
pose"
DR.. White explained the purchase
of the Bronx hospital. 1T was pos
sible by this purchase to secure a
fireproof building, admirably located,
which by remodeling would provide
1000 beds within ten
months, and thus relieve the situation
in that district" he said. ut was the
of the consultants that this
could be used for general hospital
cases as rapidly as individual build
ings could be prepared, but this did
not meet the approval of the Veterans
Bureau, which by that time was func-
tioning as a separate department of
the government, although at meet
ing with Gen. Sawyer and Col. Forbes
en- January 4. 1922. it was understood
by all that this procedure would be
followed"
The consultants and the Veterans
Bureau agreed on the purchase of the
Chelsea site and the construction OF
the buildings. Later trouble arose
over construction.
