age of the free chest clinic to be held
at Sandstone on August both. Clinic

and early registration is urged.

in the diagnosis and treatment of tu-
berculosis, will be the examiner.

which is to be financed with Christ
mas Seal funds, are in charge of Mrs
H. P Webb.

sumptive are urged to be examined.

in various harbors. Naturally the
studies are invaluable to mariners.
Letters reaching this division show
that a surgeon uses the tide tables
as a time for certain operations,
broker has system of investing &C
cording to the tide; even stock breed
ers use the book in some localities
believing that the tide affects their
live stock in breeding. 1t all seems
far-fetched but 1t reveals the import
ance of this technical research.
Letters from families of high of
ficia1s in the diplomatic corps and the
official 'set" of Washington society
bring out an interesting phase of life
here. If you have been reading the
society notes of late, it will be OBJ
served that numerous representatives
of society are taking rest" treatments
at spas or springs where they are OBJ
liged to follow drastic methods to i'm
prove their physical condition. The
late Thomas Marshall, when Vice
President, said that a man occupying
a high office must necessarily have
a good digestive system and the abil-
ity to exist with little sleep. The
strain of entertaining and being en-
tertained is greater than the average
citizen understands. There are men
and women who yearn for the simple
early to bed and early to rise" but
the conventions and requirements of
social life prevent. The wives of
officials have little time for personal
affairs as the season opens with teas,
luncheons, receptions and dances
When the glamour wears off they soon
realize the penalty of high places.
With the need for issues becoming
apparent, we are told that Congress
will embark on an Investigation spree
this winter. Periodically there is a
furry over government executives u.s.
ing their office for personal gain. 1t
is now proposed to conduct an inquiry
into the use of government-owned
property, mostly automobiles. The
claim is made that department off,
1ssals In many instances stretch regu-
lations to a breaking point in order
to take advantage of their jobs. The
story is told of an important officer
who traded 200 automobile chassis of
a popular make for luxurious town
car "for official use". The law re-
quires the label being printed con-
spfcuously on all government cars but
this regulation is often overlooked
Many new legislators unacquainted
with the pitfalls of public life are
giving "curb-stone" opinions on all
issues so that they may bask in the
spotlight of publicity. The more ex-
'perienced shun commitments on poll
cy, especially in public statements
for they know full well that conditions
change overnight and retractions are
difficult to explain. Some legislators
are now gathering publicity which
makes them important in their COM
munity but the clippings will live in
files, perhaps, to haunt them in De-
7cember.

Our WASHINGTON Letter
8g " pDaley

Washington, Aug. 24-Indfcations
that the summer slump in politics is
drawing to a close is given in the
return to Washington of Cabinet and
other high Federal officials. Admin
istrative affairs will be running full
blast shortly after Labor Day when
the President comes back to his Of
fetal home at 1900 Pennsylvania
Avenue, Northwest 1t is freely pre-
dicted that the first Cabinet meeting
will be of the utmost Importance.
The policies of Calvin Coolidge as the
retiring President are of necessity
different from those one would ex-
pect of a candidate for denomination.
The various agencies of the govern
ment charged with the detection and
suppression of fraud have their hands
full these days. The tremendous
popularity given to aviation as re-
suit of the transatlantic and trans
Pacific flights has brought new prob
lens of law enforcement. There are
many scemers trying to capitalize
issues and launch fake enterprises.
Everybody wants to get rich quick
and it is mighty hard for state and
Federal agencies to separate the
wheat from the chaff. The Post
Office Department is devoting atten-
tion to the proposed sale of securities
through the mails. It must be remenl-
bered that hundreds of honest pro-
moters are in earnest but the black
sheep too, are numerous and skillful.
When in doubt, consult your banker.
The subject of immigration and the
deportation of aliens is now upper
most in the minds of many groups
as result of the Sacco-Vanzetti agf-
tation throughout the country. Fig
ures compiled this week by the Bur-
eau of immigration, Department eff
Labor, show that 53S.0O1 persons were
admitted into this country during the
fiscal year ended June 30. However,
the net increase in the alien popula-
tion was only 2s4,493, as the alien
departures from our shores numbered
253,50S. Nearly fifty per cent of the
1862 aliens deported under warrant
proceedings were asked to leave be-
cause they entered our borders with
out proper visas or were smuggled
across the line.

the coast survey is tide tables issued

The most interesting part of French
history Is Of such recent date that il
Is possible to visualize much Of it often
with a shudder.
We attended services at NOtre Dame
our first Sunday in Paris. The music
was excellent, but part of the time the
priest seemed like Napoleon in his
coronation robes, taking the crown
from the hands of astonished Pope
Plus VII, placing it on his own head
and browning Josephine, making her
more than queen who was later to be
less than wife.
At times l visualized poor peasant
woman called to the church to learn
that 1t had been decided after all that
her daughter was hereto. l hope
that after all the sorrow that that &C.
casiOn brought the poor mother, she
can now see the church claim that same
daughter as Saint Jeanne dare with
her statue at the left of the altar be-
side that of the 4O0-year-Old Madonna
Of Paris.
But all dreams cease when the priest
passes the collection basket, for he is
preceded by an official CARRIED like
Napoleon, carrying a drum major staff.
This he lets down with an emphatic
thud at the entrance of each aisle.
There Is little chance of an absent
mind dreamer or a too devoted wor-
shipper missing the opportunity to con-
tribute. even though the man who
opened the church door, the sister of
charity who stood at one side, the
man who held something that re-
sembled pop corn pepper covered
with red velvet, and the sister who
opened the gate to the seats have all
given like opportunities.
Taxicabs are used very much In
Paris. Taxi fare is, 1 might say, the
only cheap thing in Paris.
The French eat great deal of
bread. Next time you order loaf of
French bread just imagine it being
four times as long and twice as thick
and expect to carry it home under
your arm with no wrapping unless you
are very fastidious, in which case you
may have small piece of newspaper
wrapped about the middle of it.
The milliner seems to be the only
person using bags or paper sacks.
And why don't the French use wash
boards? It's back aching to see them
pounding clothes on a flat rock or
board.
OF course we didn't see this in Paris
nor did we see a dashboard anywhere
In Europe or any indication that they
were used. But in the rural districts
every stream or shore line had ite
row of women washing in that back
breaking way.
One feels rather sorry for the
women Of France. They do not seem
to have progressed with their English
speaking sisters, except, perhaps, in
business way. They do have execu-
tive ability. Women run the shops
their husbands are the bakers.
One marvels at the reconstruction
work. France certainly has mended
her fences. There is no evidence of
war anywhere; everything looks pros
porous and active. To me it was de-
plorable that a woman whom l met
should make it point to express
herself against the attitude taken by
