SHRINE HOSPITALS

In the past fourteen years the
Shrine, whose membership is from
Masonic orders, has established Is
widely distributed hospitals, IL of
which are major institutions and 4
mobile units" The mobile units
are wards for crippled children in
hospitals not under Shrine manage
ment: They are located at Shreve-
port, La; Minneapolis, Mimi; San
Francisco, Calf; Portland, Ore; St
Louis, MO-; Montreal, Canada;
Springfield, Mass; Chicago, ILL.,;
Philadelphia, Penn; Greenville, S.
c.; and Honolulu. The mobile
units are in Spokane, Wash; Salt
Lake City, Utah; Winnipeg, Cana
da, and Lexington, Ky.
These hospitals are maintained at
an expense of about $1,000,000 an
nually and to date have treated
more than $4,000 children who were
crippled by disease or accident.
The design of the buildings and
grounds resembles spacious club or
school appointments. The large
grounds afford opportunity for fresh
air and sunshine, so helpful to doc
tors in effeeting cures in children.
Any child under the age of IA.
with normal mentality, of any
creed, color. nationality, is admitted
free provided the parents or guard
ians are financially unable to pro-
vide treatment and provided the pa
TENTS case is one which will likely
respond to hospital treatment. The
average healing period is los days.
Though the work of the hospitals
is primarily orthopedic correction
and cure, other handicaps such as
diseased tonsils, defective vision
and bad teeth are also corrected.
The work is financed by an an
nual contribution of 50 from each
member of the Shrine and from
gifts, donations and legacies.

A social hour followed the meet
ing of the Eastern Star Monday
night during which time two teams
opposed each other in proficiency
test of the secret and ritual work of
the order, conducted by the worthy
patron, Ernest C. G. Anderson, the
losing side to pay for the refresh
ments of the evening.
The team which made the higher
score was composed OF Mrs. Bjorge,
Mrs. Josephine Mason, Mrs. Prit-
ehett, Mrs. Nettleton, Mrs. E. NJ.
Campbell, and Mrs. E. c. G. Ander-
son. The losing team was defeated
by only seven points. It was COM
posed of Mrs. Gartley, Mrs. Kirt-
land, L. NJ. Campbell, Misses Etolin
and Irene Coulter and Oar Smith.
A wienie supper was served in
the banquet room by Mrs. E. M.
Campbell, L. M. Campbell and Mrs.
Gartley, the cost of which was borne
by the losing team. The unique table
appointments won enthusiastic
praise. Candlelit and decorations
from Wrangell flower gardens would
be correct descriptions, but the
candles were large tallow dips
thrust into beer bottles and the dee
orations from flower gardens were
dandelions in glass jars with a
center piece of ferns in a yellow
lard bucket.
Colored comic sections from news
paper supplements formed the table
cloth and the dishes were maple
wood picnic sets, the only china
being teacups without saucers in
which coffee was served. The food
was delicious and the supper hour
most happy one.
The meeting Monday night was
the last for the summer, subject to
call by the worthy matron, Miss Ed
ma Sinclair.

and sentenced to life Imprisonment.

Mr. Godfrey took in machinery for

TAXPAYERS OPPOSE
INCREASED LEVY TO
AID STATE SCHOOLS
Say Measure Giving SO Pei
Pupil Puts No Limit on
Expenditures

Devils Lake, N. D., June 15.-(R)-
Opposition to the initiated measure
proposing a school tax Of $40 per pu-
pill was voted by the North Dakota
TAXPAYERS association in annual con-
vention here.
Reason for the associations oppo-
sition, as outlined by John Conrad OF
Erie, newly elected president, was:
1.-THE proposed measure permits the
levy Of SO per pupil and this levy
would be in addition to all other
school receipts, including such items
as state tuition; in other words, it
does not provide limitation on the
expenditure per pupil.
THE property of this state, partic-
ularly the real estate, has borne too
large share Of the tax burden. The
proposed measure provides for an ad-
ditional property levy. II the school
cannot function on the funds that are
now available, efforts should be made
to rely on sources other than real
property taxes.
THE association feels that, in view
Of the stringent financial conditions
prevailing in this state, particularly
In the rural areas, 1t is not in line
with the situation to provide increased
taxes. Now is the time to retrench
and reduce expenditures SO that they
will fall within our income. In many
sections Of the state people have been
unable to pay the present taxes. To
increase the levy would merely result
In further delinquencies and would
not aid the schools in these sections. !"
