Tacoma, July 5.-Captain Robert
Dollar, in recent public addresses up
on returning from his last trip around
the world, brought out the fact that
Shanghai, just across the Pacific from
Puget Sound, is the second port of all
the seas in the magnitude of its com
merce. New York is first, London
third, and Hong Kong fourth.
Shanghai, with this tremendous COM
merce and q population placed at u
100000 or about ten times that of
Tacoma, has one of the most modern
telephone systems in the Far Feast.
And yet, according to Manager John
Schlarb of The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company in this city, the
Chinese port has fewer telephones
than Tacoma.
Recent statistics noted by Mr..
5chlarb give six central telephone Of
ices and $1,000 telephones in Shang
hal. Tacoma, on the other hand, has
more than $4,000 telephones.

CHOOSING SUMMER HATS.

When choosing hat for the sum.

capped by lack of variety in mater
ials,' says Miss E. Belle Alger, whose
radio talk on Summer Millinery
Changes in Style we discussed last
week.
Most women want at this time of
the year a hat which particularly be-
speaks the season, suggesting the out
of-doors. Transparent hats made of
hair braids, malines, georgettes and
even lace carry out the idea. Milan,
especially in black, is recognized
favorite, not only in all black but
combined with white or a color. It
may be milan crown with brim of
taffeta or crepe; in fact one rarely
sees a model without fabric facing
or binding. Leghorns combined with
taffetas, crepes, and even velvet, not
to speak of the flower and lace trims
are very popular.
Straw cloth in wide range of col
orings and textures is sure to hold its
own. Colors distinguish trimmings
and flowers so beautiful were never
before seen. They are used in great
profusion. Embroidery in various
forms is much used. The handmade
hats are especially elaborate. There
never was a greater opportunity for
the woman in her home to fashion
strictly up-to-date creations. If her
technique is fine, and she understands
sufficiently her own requirements,
there are suggestions apIenty to guide
her Alright.
Small braids are much used, sewed
in designs on crowns and brims. Of
ten several kinds are used on one hat.
Tubing, made of taffetas as well as
crepes, is used in the same way. These
are also seen fashioned into cabachons
and other ornaments Of various shapes.

fectively used with narrow braids out

ROAD USE is
A BIG FACTOR
Goods Roads Executive Contends
That MotOrist Who Uses Roads
Most Should Pay More.

BY F. A. Cannon, Executive Sec'y.,
Good Roads Assn. of Wisconsin.
The figures cited heretofore show
that the cost of owning and operating
the automobiles in Wisconsin is
$220,000,000 year, which is twice
the tax bin paid by the state, coun-
ties and other local units in Wiseon-
sin.
1t is estimated that the motor
vehicle license fees in the present
fiscal year will run to $6,500,o00.
In other words, the motor vehicle
owners are spending 97Gc for the
ownership and operation Of their cars
and only SO for the roads on which
they operate.
Further figures showed that this
year, even with the increased license
fees, the motor vehicle will pay only
179s of the road bill and the balance
will be paid mostly out of general
property tax.
1t would appear to any fair
minded man that the motor vehicle
should pay a larger share of the bill
il creates. The fact is that through
out the entire country the trend of
road taxation is in this direction.
The question is how shall it pay its
further share-what method mea-
sures road use and road benefits the
best
There is no question but that a tax
a.,
proximating both of these factors
than any other impost that could be
levied on motor vehicles. The three
outstanding elements that result in
wearing out n road are the weight Of
the vehicle, the speed, and the mile
age travelled. The use of gasoline
closely indicates these three ele-
ments A heavy car uses more
gasoline on a given mileage than
light car. A car driven at a high
speed more than one driven at slow
speed, and a car driven large mile
age more than one driven small
mileage
The gasoline tax is a metering or
measuring of road service. The
public utility companies meter their
service, gas and electricity; railroad
companies charge so much per mile.
The gasoline tax amounts to the
same thing.
1t IS hardly fair that man with
Ford car who drives 5000 or 1000
miles a year should pay as much as a
man with the same type of car who
drives 10000 miles year Road
use is really the big factor.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF COUNTY NURSE
Mrs. Josephine Gerry Reports Health
Conditions Among Iron County
Residents.

At the meeting of the county
board of supervisors held at the
court house last Thursday, the
report of her years work was sub
mitted by Mrs. Josephine Gerry,
county nurse.
Mrs. Gerry's report showed that
she made $50 calls. OF these calls.
seventy-eight were made on tuber-
culosis patients, nine of whom were
sent to Pureair sanatarium at Bay
field. Advisory work was given to
twenty-four babies under two years
of age, and instructive work was
given to twenty-one maternity cases.
Eighty calls were made on school
and pre-school children, eighty-four
calls on general patients, and 115
calls on communicable diseases. In
looking into dependency and state
aid cases, Mrs. Gerry made ninety
calls and interviewed ten neglected
children.
Twenty-four schools were visited
by Mrs Gerry during the year. In
these schools 703 pupils were en-
rolled, 664 of which were inspected,
which resulted in finding 403 child
rem with defective tonsils and teeth
and troubled with adenoids and 81
cases of enlarged thyroid glands.
Twelve children were found afflicted
with skin diseases.
A chest clinic was held in Hurley,
July II, IS and 10, 1928, at which
125 persons were examined. At
Montreal six tonsil clinics were held
and at each clinic six cases of defec-
tive tonsils were cared for.
At the tuberculosis clinic which
was planned for Iron Belt for the
week beginning March oath, ar
engagements were made for the
examination of 300 school children
and 800 adults.
Mrs. Gerry reported that the
underweight percentage in the coun-
ty schools has decreased perceptibly,
and gave as the reason for this the
serving of hot lunches and also the
milk lunch which has been given in
many schools.
