T>HE house on the northeast cor
ner OF the intersection OF
Rhode Island avenue and Sew
Il enteenth street may not have
the numerous connection"
with the Nations history that many
others about the Capital boast, but
the man who made his home there for
five years was for a long time one OF
the most colorful Of national heroes
and still is revered as a great soldier.
He was Gen. Philip Sheridan-who
rode from Winchester-20 miles
away to rally the demoraliSed Union
troops at Cedar Greek October ls.
1864.
The house was given Sheridan in
1888 by friends in Chicago when ne
came East to take over command OF
the United States Army. 1t was in
that year that he succeeded the illus
rious william Tecumseh Sherman.
Many Warm Friends.
The gallant general had many warm
friends in Chicago and they quietly
planned a gift which would testify In
a substantial way their love for him.
Samuel johnson of the Windy City
and % close friends each contributed
$4,000 and bought the house, paying
$45, 1000 for it and $1,000 for repairs
to make it suitable.
The gift was a complete surprise,
and Sheridan was in the dark until
one day in his Office the deed was
presented him.
Gen. Sheridan lived in 1t for hve
years, until early May, 1888, when a
desperately sick man, he left aboard
the Navy boat Swatara for his Sum-
mer cottage in Nonquitt. Mass, where
he died in June of that year.
In Harper's Magazine in July, 1887,
the following was written Of Sheridan
and his home:

THE COUNTY NURSE

The work Of the county nurse during the past
two weeks in attempting to avert the measles cpl
demic is deserving of much praise That the dis
case has spread to great number of school chill
dren is due large y to the fact that common sense
instructions to stay at home if there is sickness
IN the family and to keep at home-certainly away
from school-any child who is displaying any of
the symptoms described in an article by Miss
Packard recently published, We're disregarded by
parents who consider chidren's diseases inev-
table or interested in maintaining their
chlldrens attendance records than their health.
That we had the county nurses services for
this emergency is not to the countys credit. It
only through the efforts of various organiza-
tons who besleged the state department that
CWA funds were obtained with which to pay
her. For the seventeen days of May, which will
mark the end OF her service, the funds are being
provided by the Anti-Tuberculoss League On the
seventeenth, the county will again be without
nurse. 70 heavily populated district counting
among it's numbers doctors and nurses who give
part of their time to charity work. this might not
mean great deal. But to a county comprised of
a number OF small, doctoress communities it
means much.
The state of Washington seems to be not par
ticulary public health 'conscious'' partly no
doubt, because do not have the general cpl
demc situations which face many states. Thirty
per cent OF the known diseases can be prevented
according to statement of Dr. b. r. Coffey and
a much larger percentage can be controlled. Ger
family the prevention of disease is the most effec-
tive step that can be taken to protect the general
health of the state $ citizens-that health which
fundamentally plays so great part in any states
growth and progress.
Only 212 cents per capita is allotted to the state
department OF health as compared with an average
in other states of 10 cents per capita At the time
for making this years budget the county commits
sioners could not find the money to provide for
the county nurse although they realized we were
facing depressed year which would bring with
it toll of undernourishment and disease
How about next year? Will there be county
nurse or will we again prefer that our children
face preventabe illnesses rather than contribute
the few pennies apiece necessary for her main
tenance,

KNOW YOUR MIND

Six months remain before the general election
November 6, yet those voters who wish to vote
intelligenty upon the various initiative proposals
to be submitted then are already studying the pc
titons and weighing the pros and cons of the var
lous questions
This matter of creating laws becomes more COM
pick each year; and with the increasing need for
reduction OF governmental expense intelligent
voting is a vital matter.
Since one of the ma or phases of law-making
today is the initiative and referendum measure.
1t is the duty OF the voters to know what they are
voting for before marking the ballot The init
atlve privilege is a great one; it allows the voters
OF the state the right to make laws which they
feel are needed, and which can not be secured
through the legislature. Abused, though, this
privilege can create further extravaganza in gov
eminent.
There are eleven initiative measures already
filed. OF these, some are beneficial some are pro-
NOTED to serve special interests, and others have
both good and bad points. If the voters will study
these measures during the next six months, ac-
qualnting themselves with the virtues and faults
OF the various proposals, we will have intelligent
voting in this state and that is the basis for better
government.

REPRESENTATION

1t is claimed that most of the laws passed by
our legislature favor the metropolitan centers of
the state This condition is caused by the fact that
not only the house OF representatives but the SEN
ate as we'll, represents the populations rather than
the geographical areas of the state
The remedy for this condition would be to an
portion the representatives according to popula-
ton, as is done now, and to change the represen-
tation in the senate from population to a geo
graphical basis. Such program would tend to-
ward laws of more general character as we'll as
fewer of them, and would aid in the reduction of
governmental costs.

BASKETBALL SUITS

The girls and boys each had meet

were also discussed and it was de-
cided that the girls suits would be
somewhat similar to the boys.

Louise moved from Wenatchee to

She declares that her life's ambition
is to be an understudy to Marie Dress

One can always find Louise's name

be more than an understudy. Well,
