On Saturday next, Pad Of MAY about

to be.
Ii should be . subject for serious con-

men we shall vote for, and we ought all
to weigh very carefully the respective
merits and worth Of the candidates be-

Ii should not be a question OF who has

can be got in many ways, even though
some of the ways of getting it may be IL

And above all we ought to know what

Editor AUjs,


Sir,
The day Of the decisive battle Of the
election campaign is fast approaching;
the generals on either side are marshal
ling their forces; the great siege gurs
are being brought up and in the mean
time volumes of poisonous gas have been
released on either side in an effort -
cripple the enemy. The battle begins On
Friday on the field in Clristiansted's
fort and at A .. n. the fate OF the Oelig-
gerents will be settled. hen the
war indemnity.
In this warfare intelligence is the sIo-
gan on the one side. But though intelli-
gence is certainly preferable it seems
that c0nscientiousness is in greater de-
mand in the Colonial Council Of ST. CrOiX,
for while a less intelligent member may
be dangerous, it is evident and has often
been shown there, that a more intelligent
unconscientiOus one is harmful. A less
intelligent member mag be less harmful
since he may be led on the side Of
good or on the side of evil ac-
cording to the influence under which
he is placed; whereas a more III
telligent unconsciantious one is above
being led and will pursue bis own
Vaccinations. And siace such a man
may misIead a less intelligent one the eff
fort should be rather toward more con
sc]ientiousness THAI more intelligence. 1t
does not always follow that intelligence

Figures have a good deal to recon-

They don't smile
And they don't frown
They just stand there
And say one thing
And say it hard.
And when you say:
"Oh, is it really as bad as that?"
They don't help you out
With a lot Of supplementary facts
That seem to make things look
brighter,
They just repeat what they said
before.
They may seem cold and unsympa-

But they don't lie,
You've got to admit that.

LIVING COSTS HAVE BEEN
X MATERIALLY INCREASED
Secretary Hoover, In an Inter-
view, Declares Costs of Living
Have Been Highest in History

Material conditions Of living for
the American people during the last
year have been the "highest in all
history" Secretary Hoover said re-
Gently in an economic review made
public as part Of the annual report of
the Commerce Department.
Cities Contributing Factors
Factors listed by the Secretary as
contributing to this condition includ-
ing a practically complete absence Of
unemployment, high wages, efficient
railroad operation, and an equitable
balance of prices as among the great
er producing groups of the population
and a gradual return to stable curren-
cies and normal business operations
among the nations abroad.
Mr.. Hoover's view took in the bank
ing situation and noted the invest
ment abroad by Americans during
the year ending June 80, 1925, of ST.
3S2,OOO,0O0 and the net gold export
from the country of $115,000,000 as
further contributions to general stab
ility.
The greatest volume Of construc-
tion operations on record" was also
proceeding internally in the United
States representing an investment for
the year of $6,O00,0O0 and the Secre-
tary noted the results as ''for the
most part well calculated to meet the
permanent and growing needs of the
nation"
Index Figures Illustrate Situation
Illustrating the situation by index
figures, Mr.. Hoover's review said
that taking 1919 output as 100, dur
ing the fiscal year 1925 manufactur-
ing production in the country was
118; mineral production 124; railroad
freight haulage 10; factory employ
ment 80; and building contracts let
were Ill.
Retails sales on the average show
ed a substantial gain over 1919.
Considering prices of 1913 as 100,
retail food costs for 1925 were found
40 be $50, and the general cost of
Sving to be 172. Farm products had
an index number of 1853, food and
cloth 1877, metal and metal products
130 and building materials 124.
Building activity was well distrib-
uted throughout the different regions
Of the country, Mr.. Hoover continued,
"and there was apparently an in
creased consumption Of building ma
terials on the farms
Although some instances may be
claimed of expenditures not justified
by current needs the sum spent for
construction for the most part repre-
Sented not only keeping pace with
The Republican., 1925-11-26

the needs of expanding population,
but also a substantial bettering Of
the country's housing and CONNER
cial facilities"
Still Suffering From House Shortage
"The housing shortage arising
from the war has not yet been sub
stantially relieved for the lower in
come groups, and one of the great
tasks ahead of the country is to or
ganize this field so that new homes
may be reasonably financed and own
ed preponderantly through the thrift
of the individual families who occupy
them.
Advances in prices of agricultural
commodities together with a large
volume of production and marketing,
caused the farm income to reach.
greater total in the crop year 1924
25, than in any year since 192O-1921.
September forecasts indicate that
the aggregate output of all crops dur
ing the present year will be about six
per cent smaller than last year. but
this will probably not adversely affect
farm communities since it has been
just about offset by advances in ag-
ricultural prices. AS a result of the
successive rise in the prices of cot
ton, rains and animal products during
the past three years, the agricultural
industry has now reached better ad-
justment with other industries than
at any time since the war.
Greater Traffic Handled
Greater traffic was handled during
the fiscal year 1925 than ever before
in our railroad history. The highly
successful operation of our railroads
during the year reflects the greatest
credit upon the efforts of the man.
ayers and employees aided by the CO.
operation of the shippers and receiv-
ers of freight.
Extensions of terminals and the
problem of rate adjustments are still
before us. The problem of railroad
consultations are yet to be solved.
Improvement in railroad finances and
services is dependent upon the solu-
tion of these problems The transpor-
tation facilities shall keep pace with
the demands upon them is necessary
for economic stability
The bankers statement at the end
of the year indicate a high degree of
stability in period of fair prosperity
All banking operations consistently
kept pace with the increases in pro-
duction, employment and prices dur
ing the year"
Secretary Hoover said that perhaps
the most encouraging feature of the
period was the progress made
throughout the world in the stabiliza-
tion of monetary systems.
America Assisted Other Nations
''In this work of stabiliGing the
worlds currencies," he said, "the
United States had been the great as
I sistance to the other nations through
the granting of stabilization credits
by our banks and the flotation of
loans in our security market. The

forts to prevent the spread Of COM
municable diseases and particularly
the so called children's diseases. 1t is
a common thing for a nurse to hear a
mother say Johnny has the measles
and l am letting all the children play
in his room so that they can all have
it at once and have it over All
wrong, of course. But the nurse often
has to use all her powers of persuas-
ion to make the mothers realize that
it is not necessary for all children to
have these diseases if proper precaut-
ions are taken to prevent their
spread.
"The duties of the Public Health
Nurse include in addition to those al
ready outlined, the supervision and
instruction of the midwives.
''In the field of Child Hygiene, as
in all other phases of her work, the
Public Health Nurse finds much to do
along health education lines, holding
classes for mothers, organizing little
mothers clubs, giving talks and dis
tributing literature. In her Child
Hygiene program, the nurse finds
some of her most constructive
work"

Again America leads with the long.
est telephone cable in the world The
new long distance cable, just placed in
service between New York and Chi
cago, Is Sol miles in length, nearly
twice as long as any other telephone
cable in the world The construction
work has been in progress for about
seven years and the cost of the cable,
fully equipped, will be approximately
$25,O00,000.
The cable was placed in under
ground conduit for IA miles, through
cities, while in the open country it was
suspended on poles for a distance of
III miles
More than $50 telephone circuits are
provided and over 500 telegraph mes
sages can also be sent simultaneously
with the telephone conversations
through this cable. To provide facili-
ties for the same number of telephone
and telegraph circuits by open wire
construction about ten heavily loaded
pole lines of the usual type would be
required
Prior to the use of cables for long
distance telephone circuits it was nee
essary to use the familiar type of open
wire construction with 40 to so sep
arate wires carried on a single pole
line. This type of construction is sub
ject to interference from severe
storms, particularly when the wires
are loaded with sloet. Furthermore,
the number of routes which it is prac-
ticable to utilize for long distance
lines of this kind are limited. Many
years ago it was found necessary to
use cables instead of open wire in the
construction of local telephone plant
in cities
The problem Sf long distance tele-
phone service through cables is dis

Asked to outline the duties of the
public health nurses in Maryland in
caring for mothers and young chill
dren, Miss c. Ethel Monroe, the State
advisory nurse, turned to a circular
from the Bureau of Child Hygiene of
the State Department of Health that
was lying on her desk and quoted
THE Bureau Of Child Hygiene of
the State Department of Health was
organized to help Maryland mothers
and children keep well, because many
mothers die unnecessarily from some
complication of childbirth; many ba-
bies and young children die each year
from preyentable diseases, and many
children enter school each year han
dicapped by some physical defect that
could have been prevented or correct
ed. The Bureau works with and thru
the local health officer and the public
health nurse.
THE public health nurse" Miss
Monroe continued, usually gives a
large share Of her time to activities
in furtherance Of these aims of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene. To help
prevent complications of childbirth,
the nurse visits every expectant
mother who is referred to her. She
urges her to place herself under the
supervision of her physician very
early in the prenatal period, and she
helps her make the necessary prepa-
rations for her confinement. She also
advises in regard to the outfit for the
baby.
"Owing to extended territory that
has to be covered by each nurse and
to the variety Of duties of the Public
Health Nurse, it is impossible for
them to give nursing care to the
mother during her confinement or to
the daily bedside nursing following
the arrival of the baby. No phase of
the nurses work is more important
than the help she is able to give the
mother -to-be, and it is hoped that
each year more and more of this can
be done.
"In a number of counties, the nurse
receives regularly from the Local
Registrars, the names of the new
born babies, so that she may visit
each mother and help and advise her
in the care of the young baby, if the
family physician requests it.
"Under the direction of the Depu-
ty State Health Officer, the Public
Health Nurse arranges for the We'll
Baby Conferences, and the Child
Health Conferences that are held at
regular intervals in each county, and
assists the examining physician.
These conferences are for we'll babies,
as sick babies are supposed to be al
ready under the care of physician.
Children brought to the conferences
who are found to be in need of spec
ial care are referred to their family
physician After the conferences the
nurse visits the parents of the child
rem that need such follow-up care and
offers her assistance in getting the
corrective work done.
"In her visits in the homes, the
Public Health Nurse can render a
further service to young mothers, and
incidentally to the entire community
by showing the parents how to fol-
low the doctors directions in his eff

| tinctly different from the problem in
volved in the use of cables in local
exchange plants, but after a large
amount Of research and engineering
work, long distance telephone service
through cables was successfully accom-
plished and cables have been utilized
for this purpose for number of years
in various sections, as, for example,
from Boston to Washington, 45O miles
Following the successful operation
of these cables and the better service
which was thereby made available TO
the public, consideration was given to
the use of cables for longer distances
in other sections. After a thorough
study of the situation it was decided
to install a cable from New York to
Chicago.
While the New York-Chicago cable
is the longest telephone cable in the
world, it is only part of a compre-
hensive cable system which in few
years will link many of the important
centers in the more densely populated
sections of the country east OF the
Missouri and north of the Ohio and
Potomac Rivers. This cable is de-
signed to operate as an extension OF
other existing long toll cables. such as
the Boston-W ashington cable, which
ties together many of the Atlantic sea
board cities. 1t is also designed 10
operate in Connection with cables which
are under construction of planned,
such as the cable from Chicago to St,
Louis, 900 miles. to be completed in
1926, and cable from New York via
Albany, Utica, Rochester. Buffalo and
Erie to Cleveland, which is under
construction.
