ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL PERFORMING
WONDERFUL WORK in THIS STATE

There are some very large business
es in Washington. They are under
the direction Of men whose annual
salaries run long way into figures.
But any one Of these highly paid ex-
ecutives will admit that the most eff
ficiently conducted institution in Sc
attic is managed by women who don't
get a cent for their services.
This institution is the Seattle Chill
dren's Orthopedic Hospital. Its d.
control is in the hands of women.
There are thousands of them actively
concerned in carrying on the work Of
the hospital, from the officers down
through the members of the various
guilds that spread over every part
Of the city and out into the state. In
orthopedic work every day you find

Perhaps it is because the mission
Of the hospital goes straight to the
instinct which is deepest in the heart
of every woman, the instinct to

Judy OGrady as in the coloneps

Farms Are Carrying
Burden of DehatiOn

CHICAGO. - American farms are
carrying the crushing burden of a de-
flated "horse dollar" that is worth
only about 80 cents, according to Fin
ley Z. Mount executive chairman of
the National Association of Farm
Equipment Manufacturers, who point
ed to the Department of Agriculture
figures for the farm value of live
stock on January 1 as proof that the
United States farmer had lost more
than billion dollars on his animal
horsepower while his cattle, sheep and
hogs had increased his wealth more
than $200,000,000 in the decade be-
tween January L. 1914, and January l.,
1924.
The United States farmers horse
dollar on January /, this year, was
worth SO cents, according to the Uni
versity of Minnesota Buying Power
] chart of the United States figures,
having dropped down from the high
point of $1.O5 reached in 1911. This
chart shows that the horse dollar is at
its lowest point in the entire 56 years
for which figures are available. Were
it not for the farm tractor and gas en-
CINE to take up this power slack
caused by decentralization OF the
horse market, the farmer would be In
bad way for power. His horses are

PRESIDENT EBERT THANKS
AMERICANS FOR AID

President Ebert recently expressed
deep appreciation on the part of the
German people for the help of Ameri-
cans in sending food to their under
nourished children.
Several members of the Friends
Relief Mission who have charge of
distributing the food bought with Am
erican money, were entertained at a
garden party given in their honor by
President and Frau Ebert. DR..
Stresemann, the foreign minister, and
Count Won Kemnitz, another member
Of the ministry, were also present.
President Ebert spoke feelingly Of
the gratitude his people held toward
Americans who had come to their aid
during this critical time. He spoke
particularly of the efforts Of General
Henry T. Allen, who was chairman of
the committee for relief of German
children, and Of the work Of General
Dawes and Of Irving T. Bush.

Safety in Motoring q
Habit, Says Auto Prexy

Safety in motoring is a habit like
any other desirable habit, in the opin-
ion Of ]. w. Maxwell, president of the
Automobile Club of Washington. If
all drivers would practice doing the
safe thing when they are at the wheel,
accident prevention, he says, would
become a habit, and everyone would
have more opportunity to put more
conscious effort into the work of driv-
ing intelligently.
"The more safe habits a driver &C.
quires," Maxwell says, "the sooner he
reaches point where the fundamen-
tai acts of safety become automatic,
leaving his conscious mind free to-
cope with the exceptional problems
which arise in ones daily motoring.
Most drivers permit bad habits to
creep upon them, and this explains
why so many motorists are unable to
handle any situation that is little
more complicated than usual. They
find it necessary to break the habit
first.
"The motorist, for instance, who
neglects to sound his horn at cross
ings is totally at loss if his brakes
suddenly fail him when another car
comes dashing out of the side street.
He isn't even prepared to stop. If he
had sounded his horn and were pre-
pared to be surprised his foot would
be resting on the brake pedal before
the other car appeared. If anything
went wrong with the brakes he would
have his conscious mind ready for the
task at hand.
Analysis of the majority of acct
dents reveals the fact that the driver
failed to cope with an exceptional sit
uation because his mind was taken
up with fundamentals of safety which
should have been purely automatic
The more safe habits the driver &C.
quires the less opportunity there is
for trouble.

u. S. Women Showed
Patriotism During War

American girls and women showed,
during the World War, that they were
capable of loyal and self-sacriflc-
ing patriotism. Being a wartime pa
triot, however, is in some ways easier
for women than being a patriot in
time Of peace In war, they are swept
along by the force of mass psychol-
ogy. They are keyed up to a high
emotional tension. The limelight OF
public approval is focused upon them.
Under all the stimuli there is the
sense Of national danger.
Almost anyone will fight for his
country or his mother in a moment
Of peril. The remainder of the time
we are likely to take both for grant

Education as Aid to
Outdoor Recreation

Need of rallying the educational
forces of the country behind any out
of-doors program was clearly shown
at the sessions of the Outdoor Recrea
tion Conference called by President
Coolidge. This was brought out by
the resolutions submitted by the COM
mittees appointed by Theodore Roose-
welt, assistant secretary of the navy,
who presided at the sessions. For ex
ample, the committee on formulation
of an educational program for outdoor
recreation pointed out the need of an
educational campaign to make known
and advertise to the American public
those facilities in the nature Of parks,
forests, rivers, lakes, and Fairgrounds
which are available in the future. Co.
ing further into the needs of marshal
ing the educational forces Of the coun-
try, this committees report says:
"This special educational commit.
tee believes appreciation and love of
the outdoors should begin, with every
other form of education, in the public
and private schools of the land. New
York State and California as examples
at either end Of our nation have built
up and fostered greater appreciation
of their outdoor facilities through the
introduction of nature study as part
of their regular school curricula. Thus
they have encouraged and stimulated
an appreciation of nature together
with an independence and originality
of thought which makes for love of
the outdoors and for the foundation of
better citizenship. The educational
committee urges upon the national
conference the passage of definite
resolution endorsing school nature
study and the extension of the nature
study for every American school and
every American family.

the splendid nature study courses Of

TRAFFIC TALKS W
Anti-GIare Law Needed

Glaring headlights are still a COM
mon cause of accidents on highways.
All motorists should be courteous
enough to dim lights if necessary
when approaching another car.
Anti-glare laws need to be enforced
and made more effective.
What is needed is more cooperation
between motorists and more courtesy.
Just because man obtains possession
OF motor car is no reason why he
should lose any of those finer sensi-
bilities which mark the gentleman.
New York has law on it's statute
books that the motorist is obliged
to get out of his car and If neces-

that it is obsolete, but some Of that
spirit wouldn't do any harm today.
