Maternity Health Center
Work is Well Received
MOTHER FED BABY CONDENSED
MILK UNTIL GIVEN PROFESS
SIGNAL INSTRUCTION

How farm women drive in with
their children from the country on bob
sleds through binding snowstorms,
and mothers make 1O-mile trips to
learn how their children are respond
ing to the treatment recommended,
are told in March reports of child
health centers in Wisconsin, operated
by the state bureau, of child welfare.
This work is financed in part by Shep
pard- Towner law funds. Until the aE
preparation is renewed, howeVer, y
few of these county centers will re-
main closed.
In reports of DR.. Mildred Van CleVe
physician in charge are many cases
of families helped. A mother in Onei
da county was feeding her baby con-
densed milk, which she had considered
a great success with her other six
ach and an older child's underweight
and badly decayed teeth were evidence
however, making it easy to convince
the mother of the need of cows milk
in the absence of breast feelings.
In Villas county a woman who pre-
viously had been one of the center's
prenatal cases, ald who by careful
prenatal attention and confinement
care in a hospital had survived Sc
we're toxemia, returned for further
advice, and next time will bring her
baby. This was the county where
half the attendance at the March cen
ter was of children who were driven
in from the country in bobsled thru
a severe snowstorm Most of these re-

weight and goiter.
In Monroe county two boys of deaf
and dumb parents were brought for
re-examination. One had had tonsils
and adenoids removed, and in March
certain speech defects were entirely
corrected, the report said, and his gen.
eral condition improved. In Juneau
county return cases all showed i'm

ed by taxing these unearned incomes
it would not be many years before
every legitimate public need could be
supplied from this source and indus
try would not have to be taxed at all.
With untaxed industry permitted to
avail itself of unmonopolized natural
resources an impetus would be given
to prosperity that will bring an eff
fective demand for all kinds of goods.
In conclusion Mr.. Nordman states
that he does not expect that these
changes simple though they are, will
come without a struggle. In all proba-
bility the sales tax and every other
impossible proposition will have to be
sried out along with other quack RENE
dies that have been attempted and
found wanting. Yet, Notwithstanding
the apparent slowness and temporary
setbacks that characterize advance
ment in society and industry there is
no question that progress is being
made slowly but surely; the ranks of
thoughtful people are being constantly
increased. Sooner or later they will
constitute majority of our electorate
ana then justice will pervade our in
stitutions as air and sunlight pervade
outdoor life.

dered both vocal and instrumental

upon to recite his famous old time

Frank Hall was given first place and

some women had been busy around

At the regulation hour good nights

the effect that a social evening had
been spent of kind that it would be
well to have occur more frequently.

Three Lakes Bank to
Attempt Reorganization
BULLETIN SENT OUT BY BANK
ING DEPARTMENT so STATES
STOCKHOLDERS ASSESSED

Announcement is made by the state
banking department that an assess
ment of one hundred per cent has
been ordered by the department
against the stockholders of the re-
Gently closed State Bank of Three
Lakes and that an effort will be made
to reorganize the institution. The
statement of the bank as of March 81
showed loans and discounts to be $119,
218.97 and overdrafts to the amount of
$835.52. The capital stock is $4,000
and deposits $74,66S.26.
The State Bank of Three Lakes was
established November 6, 1912, with
capital of $4,000 On July 25th, 1918,
the capital was increased to $25, 600
The bank was organized by Clark
Kinney and his relatives and business
associates and from the beginning uns
til Mr. Kuney's retirement some
months ago was one man bank
Since the reorga rizatinn Of tl
says the state banking department
the new board of directors have used
their best efforts to set the affairs
of the bank in order, but owing to
the fact that the former management
had loaned an excessive proportion
of the banks funds to institutions in
which officers connected with the
bank were interested and had made
several loans to the extreme limit
permitted by law, and these loans
having become frozen, it was decided
that for the protection of all concern
ed the affairs Of the banks should be
turned over to the commissioner of
banking.
The dangerous libera1ity of the Wis
consin law in permitting a bank to
loan fifty per cent of its capital and
surplus to one borrower has resulted
in the closing Of this institution. A
considerable portion of the loanable
funds were tied up in a few loans and
several of these loans were interlac
ing.

We are in receipt of the last weeks

students in journalism. It was an edi-

FOR C|TYS
FUTURE DISASTERS

+ Marking the first anniversary of
the Knickerbocker Theater disaster,
the District of Columbia Chapter of
the American Red Cross has formed
disaster relief committee. with DR..
Ralph NJ. Jenkins as chairman, to
cope with similar situations in which
help may be asked. Commi ssioner
Cuno Rudolph is honorary chairman
of the committee, which is divided
into subcommittee covering such
phases of the work as hospital care
and sanitation. medical and nursing
service, canteen, transportation and
emergency and housing.
A survey has been made of the
ability of hospitals in Washington to
care Tor emergency cases, ana 1t has
been found that 1.139 beds and thirty
Emergency supplies have been con-
centrated in the chapter headquar-
ters, at Is Jackson pl4ce. with an
abundance of surgical and medical
supplies.
Just a few moments after word
came that the roof had fallen at
the Knickerbocker the Red Cross doc
tors were being called out and Red
Cross nurses were answering the call
Medical and surgical supplies were
being rushed to the snow-capped
structure at 18th street and Columbia

and warm outer clothing was rushed
to the scene. All the following
day the canteen section Of the Dis

hours to assist doctors and nurses
The District chapter is still several
thousands dollars short of it's an

that the shortage may be made up
by Washingtonians willing to donate

One year ago today. at o'clock in
the evening, the entire roof of the
Knickerbocker Theater. motion pic
ture house at 18th street and Co
lumbia road, collapsed without warn
ing. Ninety-seven men, women and
children were either killed outright
or died later; those with injuries,
many of them serious, numbered over
100. Nearly every escape, and there
were many, bordered on the miracu-
lous.
A binding snoWstorm, the worst
since 1899, that had already ragged
for many hours and piled the streets
and sidewalks high, made more ter
rible the disaster, the greatest ever
experienced in Washington, and more
difficult the work of rescue.
The same snowstorm had caused
the playhouse TO be less than half
full Otherwise the death list would
have been much longer. The thea
ter's clientele was composed almost
entirely Of persons of intellect and
ability, some of them of prominence.
They were of the sort that d COM

capital was echoed all over the
