MORE RABIES ADOPTED

1t speaks well for the humane spirit
Of our people that the number of orphans
and children of incompetent parents who
have been adopted into comfortable homes
has greatly increased during the depres-
sion.
In 1927 the number of such adoptions
was about 100000, while last year over
100000 found homes with desirable foster
parents. During the same period the
number homeless children who had to
be cared for by institutions remained prac-
tically at a standstill, the yearly average
being about 100000.
These facts are presented by the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department of Labor
in Washing n, which points out that this
difference between institutional and home
care shows significant trend in the hous-
Ing of these unfortunate little ones.
Commenting on this humane trend,
the Houston Post says: sSuch children
have brought joy to thousands of childless
homes The doors of every childless home
In America should be thrown open to one
or more of these unfortunate tots. It will
mean happiness to the foster parents and
a real chance for the youngsters upon
whom fate has not smiled"
If our Christian faith be well founded
the adoption of homeless child must be
pleasing to Him who said: Suffer little
children to come unto Me-

BIG SHOW SETS STYLES

] comes that Chicago's Century
of Progress Exposition is setting the coun-
try's standards for women's summer fash
IONS The big cafes and the outdoor din
ing terraces at the Exposition naturally
bring out the newest styles Visitors from
every state in the Union observe, go home
and begin wearing the same fashions,
thus popular ideas quickly sweep the coun-
try.
The most interesting point in the
whole situation is the fact that inexpensive
materials are the most popular. Bingham,
sorgandy, seersucker, are seen everywhere
at the Fair, by day and by night. And
Of course, il is easy to adopt such styles in
the rest Of the country, for the day clothes,
aalce ,ocks, Jackets and coats all can be
tosseO INTO the family washing machine,
Whisked clean in jiffy and be ready to
wear again in an hour or So
This, in turn, reminds one of how
quickly household equipment has gone
from the class of luxuries to the field of me-
cessities Fifteen years ago the woman
who owned household washing machine
considered herself exceptionally fortunate.
now it is possible for the most modest home
10 have such equipment.
With washable clothes never so pop
ular as they are this summer, it is interest
ing to realize how mechanical genius has
made it easy for such styles to be adopted
and followed by anyone.

PRESS AIDS HEALTH

Newspapers of the country are per-
forming splendid public service through
the publication of health information. ac-
cording to DR.. Bloodgood, eminent scien-
fist and cancer specialist Of John Hopkins
University.
He declares that because of the spread
OF sound advice 10 percent of persons
threatened with cancer now seek medical
aid as soon as symptoms appear, Before
the newspapers began to aid in deseminat-
ing medical information, less than three
percent sought medical aid in time.
The old notion that doctor should
not give information to the press, because
OF an ancient and foolish code of ethics,
was criticized by DR., Bloodgood, who be-
lieves that the public should be told in
plain language whatever the doctor has to
tell Referring to the Importance of Civ
ing attention to the teeth, he said:
Let the press continue its work Let
it advise every man and woman over 90 to
have their teeth X-rayed twice year Bad
teeth are the most common causes Of break
down
Through preventive measures the span
Of human life has been greatly heightened
in recent years, and it should be crafty
ing to newspapermen to have had an inn
portant part in bringing about this highly
important result.
