Nursing Service, Nutrition Service,
and in instruction in Home Hygiene
and Care Of the Sick In every State
and Alaska, with the exception of
Delaware and Nevada, instruction

the Philippines, Hawaii. Porto Rico,
and Virgin Islands. A total of 57,370
women and girls learned to make a
hygienic home, and care for the sick
in their homes
The United States Public Health
Service estimates that adequate rural
health nursing service would cost
S20,0O0O0O annually, but would save
billion dollars in value Of human
life, earning power, and economic con-
servation. The American Red Cross,
through its Public Health Nurses, of
whom there were nearly 500 on, duty
the past year, is doing its part in

The Red Cross, through it's nutri-
ton Service, taught thousands what
to eat for health. In this country, "a
States were served with from one to
ten Red Cross Chapter nutrition pro-
grams in each State. In 38 States,
nutrition instruction was given either
through the regular nutrition instruc-
tors or through volunteer dietitians.
During the school year an average
Of 15,413 individuals a month, includ-
Ing parents, teachers, pre-school, and
school children, were assisted to
better knowledge of food in its rela-
ton to health, and how to apply it to
their daily lives. In March, 111,219
individuals received this instruction,
while during the year 1858 classes
were conducted and $3.50 conferences
and home. visits were given by nutri-
ti&nists, thus reaching thousands of
individuals.

Of p rsons away from Rome.
For many centuries the college of

majority Of the members are Ital-

they have with a single exception,
elected an Italian as Pope. Fifty
years ago there were only eighteen
non-Italians in the college. At pre-

There are two cardinas in this hemis

At various times Ahe Pope has
been urged to appoint some non

make the Sacred College more fully

The answer to the argument is that
the college is not a representative
body, that the members are chosen
for their ability to advise the Pope.

Educators Give Junior
Red Gross High Praise

Growing recognition by leading ed
ucators all over the world has been an
achievement of the Junior Red Cross
in the last fiscal year.
Included in those which have taken
especially favorable cognizance Of
Junior Red Cross efforts are the
World Federation OF Education Assoc
Citations at Edinburgh, Scotland, in
1925, the Department of Superinten-
dence of the National Education As
ISOLATION, at Washington, 1926, and
the National Education Association
in Philadelphia, June, 1926. Various
State educational bodies have con-
firmed this approval the report adds.
AS a phase of their work, the Jun
Tors have developed contacts through
exchange of correspondence. with
similar Junior organizations In vir-
tuaily every part of the world, and
through the development Of this me-
dunn many leaders see better
chance for world peace in future.
An especially notable development
of Junior organization has occurred
in Porto Rico, with an enrolment of
$4,000, and the Philippines, with
$4,000.
More than 100000 American Jun
Tors are at work in this organization
of the American Red Cross. Their
example is held out by the American
Red Cross during the Tenth Annual
Roll Call for membership, as one for
all Americans to endorse by Joining
the parent organization during the
period November IL to Is this year.

coNvERT FIBRE NTo PRAT.
A German Substitution For the Nat
uraI Wool.

"A German OuDSLlluhOA pOF Vic No.
uraI Wool.
At Dusseldorf has been discover
ed a means of using peat fibre. It
is stated that fibre has been pro-
duced capable of being spun which
is absorbent and which can be
bleached and dyed. The vegetable
fibres were first isolated and treated
with acids and alkalis, the result be-
ing a peat wool consisting of nearly
pure cellulose. This turf wool Is
soft. elastic and capable Of being
spun in the same way as sheep 9
wool.
{ With the addition of cotton or
sleeps wool. yarn can be spun
which is useful for various clothing
fabrics. The quality of absorption
which it possesses renders it very
suitable for summer wear, and the
same may be said for its warmth in
winter. The manufacturer uses it
: for the production Of peat-felt hats.
If the inventor is successful in re-
ducing this peat yarn to still finer
thread it will perhaps fad greater
use in hosiery manufacture, for
which, as it is a bad conductor Of
heat, absorbent, ana cheap, it is
especially suitable. Not only dress
stuffs, but carpets and other such
like gsds. which are capable Of boi 6
bleached and dyed, are stated to
have been produced. Peat vaddinE
( is said to be specifically valuable TO-.
sanitary and surgical purposes, keev-
ing wounds clean and dry.

Busy Oriental Rug Makers.

~
The carpet industry fourishes as
never before in both Persia and Asia
Minor. The market value Of the
carpets may be the same in the two
countries, yet great difference ex-
lists in the way they are made. This
applies not alone to the various
shapes and lines, but to the group
ing of forms and colors as well,
which enables even one unskilled in
the business to distinguish between
the make Of Smyrna and that Of
Tabriz. The article which is sold in
the worlds markets as the cello
brated Smyrna carpet is not made
in Smyrna; it is a product of the
vilayet Of Aidin, of which Smyrna is
the capital. The chief places of
manufacture are the villages of Us
chalk, Koule, Ghiarlis, Makri, Mel
essos, Kirkagatsch, Axar and Dem
lrdji. The production of carpets in
Asia Minor is essentially a house In
dustry and the natives are exceeding
ly skilful in their handiwork. The
Industry gives employment and a
livelihood to thousands of needy
people, especially women, who arc
obliged to do the work almost en-
tirely, while the men spend their
time in the coffee houses drinking

and has ''gone to pot" He charged
that the Tariff Commission was de-
liberately attempting to break down
this law and do away with 1t. He
named the commissioners to whom he
charged this purpose as follows:
Chairman Marvin, Commissioner
Classic, whom he characterized as
"Mr. Marvins counsel" and Commis-
sioners BrousSard and Baldwin.
Are you a Democrat" asked Sen
ator Reed.
YES" was the reply. DR.. Dennis
said that theoretically he was for free
trade, but that he believed In con-
tinuing the protective tariff, because
under it the industries of the United
States have been built up.
"A horizontal reduction of the tariff
would throw this country into con
fusion and disorder" said the witness.
DR.. Dennis said that he had gone
on the commission as an innocent,
thinking that the flexible provisions of
the tariff were intended to rectify
tariff duties which were unjust.
II still have faith in the principle
of the flexible tariff" said DR.. Den
mis-, but since last October I've had
no faith whatever in their admin
stration by the commission"
He charged that the flexible pro
visions had broken down through the
bias of Chairman Marvin and the
other three members of the commits
sion whom he had named.
He had been unfair In the admin
istration of the law" said DIR. Dennis
He added that he thought that Chair
man Marvin was obsessed with the
principle of high protection.
Perhaps Mr.. Marvin thinks that
you're obsessed," suggested Senator
Reed.
DIR. Dennis replied that he himself
was a protectionist, and in substan-
tiation pointed out that he had voted
with the commission in four cases tC
increase duties under a flexible tarin
and that in only two cases had he
dissented.
DIR. Dennis said he looked on the
flexible tariff provisions as a crude
cropping effort" by Congress TO ac

complish good. He likened 1t to the
creation of the Civil Service Commits
sion 40 years ago and to the creation
of tho Interstate Commerce Commits
sion when 1t became necessary to deal
with transportation troubles.
DIR. Dennis said that applications
had been made to the commission
under the flexible tariff provisions for
125 increases in duty and for 100 de-
creases. In only 10 cases, he said, has
the flexible tariff been put into effect
by proclamation OF the President. and
in only ITO cases were the duties
lowered.
Case of Quail Is Cited.
DR. Dennis said he had been much
concerned because of the attitude of
the majority of the commission. He
took up the case of an application for
reduction Of duty on bob-white quail
imported from Mexico. He said he
went to the President finally and
said that the flexible tariff should
work both ways. up and down. The
President was sympathetic, he said,
and wrote to the commission TO take
up the quail case. 1t was finally
put through in four months, he said

DR.. Dennis said that Chairman Mar

provision and that he himself favored

Failing to obtain a separate list"
for airmen, the officers now are in
favor of a plan which, it is under
stood. was worked out by a non-flying
officer of the general staff. This
plan is to establish q temporary pro-
motion list to take care of more than
400 officers now in the service, who
took up flying during the war. The
most important grievance of these
alrmen, which has stood from the day
they were commissioned, lies in the
fact that they were not admitted as
officers in the Army until six or nine
months after the other branches com
missioned their students. Infantry
students became officers after three
months, and although the air students
entered the service at the same time
their commissions date long after
their colleagues had taken a place
on the permanent promotion list.
The temporary list calls for giving
air officer the same rank and posi-
ton as the officer Of the other arm
who entered the service at the same
time now enjoys. During the six
Or nine months interval between the
date the Infantry officer received his
commission and the air service pilot
got his, many additions were made to
the promotion list. CONSEQUENTLY.
the airman is far below the number
held by the other officer who entered
the service on the same date.

The plan also provides that any Of
ficer due for permanent promotion on
the permanent promotion list will
carry into the next grade with him
any Air Service officer on the tenn
porary list who may have been cred
| lted on this list with the same length
of services as the officer on the perma-
nent list. The airman carried over
| on the temporary list will be tempo
rarily commissioned in the next higher
grade and when his name comes up
on the permanent list for promotion
his temporary commission win be
| changed to a permanent one.
Atrmen argue that the adoption of
this list would not affect any other
officer of any branch, as previous
plans have been inclined to do.

from other branches is vigorously op

Flyers Say Measure Fails to
Cure Personnel Ills of
Army Service.

The outgrowth Of months of in
vestigations, years of study and ex-
penditure of thousands of dollars TO
determine a cure for the alleged Ills
of the Army Air Service--the NORM
bill, now on the House calendar-has
devolved into building program. with
benefits in the way of increased ap-
preparations for planes equipment. but
has failed, in the view Of some officers,
to take care of the acute problem con-
corning personnel.
The bill, as written by the COM
mittee following the rejection OF the
numerous pieces of legislation for cor
rection of conditions, and reported to
the House Monday, provides for 1900
new planes, 10 airships, free and cap
tive balloons. spare parts, equipment,
supplies and installations necessary
for the operation and maintenance,
exclusive of all but the most modern
ones now in use; an additional
Assistant Secretary of War to handle
aviation; three additional brigadier
generals, and change of the name of
the service to "Air Corps"

officers distributed in grades from
colonel to second lieutenant, in
elusive; temporary promotion In the
field grades and reference back to the
War Department for study and report
of the promotion question. These
three features, If they are ultimately
adopted. will, in the opinion OF Army
airmen on duty here, be a distinct
blow to morale. efficiency and organi-
zation Of the flying arm.
Officers Unwilling to Talk.
Unwilling to appear voluntarily be-
fore Congress or be quoted for publica-
tionsof their views because of the War
Department regulation prohibiting at
tempts to influence legislation, the
officers, in private circles and con-
ferences, denounce these three pro-
visions and declare conditions as to
personnel as they now exist should
stand indefinitely instead.
Under the temporary promotion
in the field grades the junior Off
GERS. who form the backbone of the
service, would receive no benefit.
Captains, majors. lieutenant colonels
and colonels would be eligible to tenn
porary promotion, not to exceed one
grade, for performing duties calling
for q higher rank. The airmen de
clare the application of this principle
would result in a "throat-cutting,
