On Wednesdays and Fridays saws,
drills, looms, sandpaper, hand presses
and alphabetical blocks are brought
into use in the occupational therapy
clinic of Children's Hospital to pro-
mote the voluntary action of the Grip
pied limbs of children.
To the casual observer, the small
room in the basement of the hospital
might appear a kindergarten or play
room where children can wait their
turn for massage and other treatment
in the physical therapy department..
However, the youngsters, seemingly
at play, are in reality being taught to
cure themselves. The little rocking
horses, rugs, bags, mats and printed
sheets Of paper which lie about the
room are all means to an important
end.
Physical Therapy Treatment.
Patients treated in the occupa.
tional therapy clinic are, Of course,
also given physical therapy treat
| ment. Doctors and nurses massage
the affected parts of their bodies or
else supervise exercises which will
effect a cure. 1t is the object of the
occupational therapist to teach the
patient to cure himself.
Mrs. Lena Hitchcock, who is in
charge of occupational therapy at
the hospital. says that she never
makes any child do anything he
doesn't want to do. To get the best
results, a child must only do work
| in which he or she. Is interested.
Then they forget their affiictions and
the crippled limbs get the needed
exercise
Occupational therapy has been in
use for some time. During and after

Headquarters Are. Elaborate.
The Meckienburg County Demo-
Gratis have probably the most elabo-
rate headquarters in the entire coun-
try. They have taken over the entire
historic Southern Manufacturers Club,
which Is credited with having brought
the textile industry to the South to
be close to the source Of supply OF
cotton in the Piedmont section. Away
back in 1910 this clup was mostly
Northern members-and far-famed for
industrial and social leadership. Presi.
dents Taft and Theodore Roosevelt
and Gen. Pershing visited there, and
on May 20, 1912. woodrow Wilson
slept there overnight. This entire
building Is lavishly decorated with
flags and large paintings Of President
Roosevelt. with three big floodlights
making 1t additionally conspicuous.
Chairman Scarborough says they
expect to get out a record-breaking
vote. In 1882 the vote was close to
22,000. A drive by the Women's Divi-
sion last week registered more than
1000 by a house to house canvas, so
there will be more than 1000 new
voters on the books. Mr.. Scarborough
estimates that they will get out vote
of $4,000 to $4,000.
A series Of rallies have been held
by the various divisions. At the
young Democrats rally the principal
speaker was Henry L. Stevens Of War
saw. former past national commander
Of the American Legion and Thad A.
Eure Of Winton, candidate for Sec
retary Of State. At the Women's Divi-
sion rally the speaker was Miss
Beatrice Cobb Of Morganton, the ma
tional committeewoman. The Labor
Division rally, Friday night. had Gov.
Owen D. Johnston Of South Carolina
as spellbinder, and the entire build
ing was fitted with amplifiers SO as
to take care Of a vast gathering, which
brought in upwards Of $4,000 from
outlying areas.

Gas Tax Diversion

The arguments submitted by Capt. H. G. Whitehurst
director of highways with his 1888 budget estimates in
opposition to the proposal to divert gasoline tax
nues to uses other than highway improvement, should
put end to this vicious attempt to soak the motors
The automobile operator already is paying more spe
ca taxes than any other group of citizens and he
bearing his full share of the city's expenses.

Lazy legislators and rapacous public officials have
been soaking the motorst for years because taxes levied
against him have been easy to collect and because the
motorist has been patient payer.
ALTHOUGH CAPTAIN WHITEHURsT DOESN'T
MENTION IT IN HIS ARGUMENT AGAINST DIVER

THE USE OF GAS TAX MONEY FURTHER WOULD
RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THE GAS TAX
Such increase is constant threat long as the
Districts tax is lower than the tax in Maryland and

has been possible to counter this threat in the past
by pointing out that the from the Districts gas

Once the tax is spread among other than paying
TOR highway improvements, however it would be mpos
sible to make this argument effective
Consequently the interests in the nearby States who
want to increase the Washington gas would be able
to put their long cherished scheme to increase the
tax.
Captain Whtehurst points out that the gas tax money
now being collected is necessary for highway improve
ment; it cannot be diverted to other without bad
effect our streets and
BUT IF THE BARS ARE REMOVED AND GAS
TAX MONEY GOES INTO THE GENERAL FUND

MANILA

MANILA
To many people. the Orient
means Manila and the Philippine
Islands, Just as with others it con-
notes Shanghai, Singapore or Hong
Kong. There is really nothing in
the world like the Philippines, no
where such a mingling of the old
with the ultranew, such a distinc-
tive environment. To be sure. the
islands are different from anything
else, no matter where it be, but
often the place that is different
has no real charm. But Manila,
the real pearl of the Orient, is re-
plete with charm and distinction.
No wonder it is fast becoming a
regular tourist center.
The situation of Manila is SUI
perb. It is on Manila bay. Luzon,
on which Manila is situated, is the
largest island of the Philippine
archipelago. Water scenes as well
as street scenes are full Of diver
sity and fascination.
lNIkAMUNOS
Perhaps the most interesting
part of the city to those who seek
novelty is the IntramuroS, the
walled city that is the original
Spanish Manila, the walls erected
in 1890 while the city was occupied
by the Spanish. Previously, the
city had suffered a Mohammedan
invasion, consequently there is
quite a bit of Moorish style in many
of the buildings.
The moss-covered, lichen-grown
stones of the walls, the creeper
garlanded battlements of historic
Fort Santiago, transport one to a
different world. Five of the seven
original gates of the walls still
stand. Their archways are delicate
and lovely. The old moats have
been made into lovely parks.
One rambles along the walls,
visits churches and converts, and
visits the gates. especially Fort
Santiago gate within the baStion
of the old walled city. 1t has
attractive grounds. Nearby q ex-
