visit to Mr.. and Mrs. Swartz's rela-
tives and old friends here, while the
two men took a look over the seed po'
tato prospects in this section They
figure that the Yakima valley will be
able to secure much good seed on the
prairie from the present crop, and
urge the growers in this district to
keen that market in view in finishing
out and harvesting their crop.

County Health Needs

THE growth of 2 great and benefcent
idea is witnessed by the fact that at
the beginning of the current year
there were two hundred and thirty counties,
in twenty-eight states, maintaining full-time
public health agencies A decade ago. only
the most enterpriseful communities had such
service. A decade hence, we venture to
say, only the most backward will be with
out it.
The number adopting it increases each
year, reports the International Health Board,
and adds "Few counties which have given
the system a trial fail to continue it and to
expand the unit to meet the more obvious
needs of the people," Significantly enough.
when a public health service is established,
many needs come to light whic' before were
unsupported, or at least unappraised Towns
and counties having no such facilities and
safeguards do not realize their wants or
their opportunities, and ofttimes do not
dream of their dangers. Their water supply
MAY De contaminated, out Cney nave TO wait
for an epidemic of typhoid to disclose the
fact. Their school children may be in peril
Of deadly scourge of diphtheria or scarlet
fever; but, lacking medical inspection and
kindred precautions, they receive no timely
warning. Scores or hundreds of persons
within their bounds may die without medical
attention or without any intelligent effort to
save their lives but there is scant likelihood
of the situations being remedied while the
community mind and conscience remain in
different to public health problems. When,
however, a county takes the, initial step in
this wise service, almost Immediately it be-
gins to appreciate the vital Importance and
the far-reachng value of the work, and rare
ly fails to go steadily forward with It's eu
pansion.
What is Georgia doing in county health
activities? At the beginning of the year
eleven per cent of her counties had full-time
organizations, as compared with twenty-one
per cent in South Carolina twenty-seven per
cent in New Mexico, thirty-one per cent in
North Carolina, thirty-two per cent in Ala
bama and forty-eight per cent In Ohio. Is
it not time for Georgia to do better?

Pointers for the Center.

A strong point for the good basket
ball team Is in possessing a good
center A good center should almost
always be tall. so that he can get the
ball on the jump-off. He must be
more than tall, however, he must
be fast and aggressive and know how
to- handle the ball well.
Good jumping is necessary; if YOU
would get the ball for your team at
the outset. Practice jumping after
a ball which has been tossed up; it
will develop you as a center. An
other way to Increase your jumping
ability is to stretch.
A trick which centers, and the
other players. as well, must know
is how to pivot the ball in their pos
session. Here is the way to pivot
successfully: The feet should be we'll
apart in starting. Suppose the pivot
is to be to the right-the player
makes a half or three-quarter turn
to the right on the ball of the right
foot. trying to just come in contact
with the body of his opponent. When
this is completed the ball should be
in the players left arm. The ball
should Immediately be dribbled when
tho pivot is completed.
The pivot is used to get out OF
the way of guard or to work
around the guard SO that a shot al
the basket or a pass to another
player can be made.

constructed that they will take the
parcels upstairs to the top floor of
the post office if necessary. When IT
is desired to send the parcels down
stairs they don't bother to have a
belt. but merely slip them down a
chute. Parcels going down a chute
land on a table.
They are taken from this table and
either put into trucks and delivered

Every now and then there is a clog
up in one of the conveyors or chutes
and then the fun begins. Parcels
pile up as high as your head, fall on
the floor. and things get generally
messed up.
Post office men take great care to
treat the parcels as carefully as pos
sible, but there are so many things
which may happen that you should
always wrap the parcels securely and
insure them il possible.
When the packages are finally

Girls and Their Affairs
CONDUCTED BY HELEN FETTER.

a GE is one subject that all femi-
ninity abhors, from the young
est f1apper to the most settled ma
tron. 1t is odd that women and girls
generally dread this inevitable state
of being so much more than MEM
bers Of the other sex. or course, it
is conceded that women dread the
loss of beauty, yet this would not
seem to explain the completeness of
this fear of old age among girls who
are still young and freshly lovely.
So complete is this state of femi-
nine mind that one Of the leading
women's. magazines started a con-
test on the subject What Makes a
Woman Old:" Three famous women
recently wrote articles protesting
that youth was not the finest period
of woman's life. Fanny Heaslip
Lea wrote one entitled I'D Be Thirty
Forever" Dorothy Dix wrote an arti-
Gle called 1.-The Joy of Being Fifty"
and Carrie Chapman Gait stated she
considered sixty-plus as the golden
aga for woman.
Yet it is interesting THAI OF all the
answers the magazine received on the
question What Makes Woman
Old?" it was the answer of four
teen-year-old high school girl that
won the prize. She says that coward
Ice and selfishness are the two things
that make woman old; that when
love and interest are crowded out of
the human heart by these traits OF
character everything becomes drab
and unattractive, and it is not long
before old age has her victim men
tally and physically in :her grip. This
youthful philosopher says her father
told her that ladies worry them
selves into old age trying so hard to
keep young"

fappers were discussing this subject
