The completion of the White

Coast on the west means that Ritz
Vile will then be forty seven miles
nearer to the famous and we'll

be true that Ritzville will profit by

the whole of Eastern washington
lying east of the Columbia River.
The completion Of this road WILL
also mean that Ritzville will be IN
a position to ask for the routing
of Spokane and Portland traffic by
way of Ritzville instead of as being
done now, by way of the dangerous
and slow Columbia Gorge.
If this road is completed it will
keep most of the Southwestern,

We are prompted by spirit OF

the Washtucna Community a visit
over our present roads-then COM
pare the route you now take Win

advantage gained.
Being a busy people necessltates
Ular being constantly occupied IN our

enjoy visiting the different parts OF
OUR glorious state, these visits be-

Then again, there is a faint pos

through our great open spaces, en-

to see for miles and miles far-hung

SO great it is inestinable.

Houses Built in Blocks.
In groups around the heel OF
Greenbelt's horseshoe the houses are
built for the most part in rows and
blocks. At the start there will be
1000 homes, including some detached
houses and a few apartments. Some
500 of the units were about finished
by August / and the other 500 should
be finished before Christmas. It Is
expected 1000 more housing units
will be added later.
The houses clustered at the horse
shoes heel will look out upon a 28-
acre lake. a few hundred feet dis
tant, created by impounding the wa
ters of Little Paint Greek and numer-
GUS springs. Thirty feet deep at its
center, this lake will have along its
shores picnic grounds, bathing
beaches and boat houses. At its side
there will be wading pools for chill
dren.
South of the dwelling houses a
tract of land, extending westward, has
been set aside for allotment gardens
for tenants who wish to farm for
recreation and to supply their own
home tables. Still further 10 the
west series of small farms have

been laid out running up to so acres.
Two different types have been fol-
lowed in building these homes at
Greenbelt, according to Leslie G..
Timme, resident engineer. First, there
are rows of two-and a half -story frame
houses with brick veneer. These have
pitched roofs of tile or slate. The
second groups, made up of two-story
structures of concrete blocks, have fiat
roofs Of concrete slabs, tar and gravel.
Reads Like Fairy Tale.
To the vast army Of city dwellers
living in rows of small houses, or still
smaller apartments on noisy, traffic
congested streets in the larger cities, a
description Of these garden cities and
their surroundings reads like a fairy
tale. But 1t Is very modern, prac-
tical fairy tale full of satisfying de-
tails. The interior walls of the houses
will be of plaster or plywood, painted.
No wall paper will be used. Most OF
the flooring will be of hardwood or
mastic on concrete. Plumbing fixtures
are of porcelain. There will be MOTH
ing ugly or in bad taste. The esthetic
will be as important to these houses
as the practical.
Greenbelt will be like any other
town in Maryland. 1t will have its
own post office, stores, town hall, inn,
schools, churches. Wherever footpaths
cross busy streets underpasses will be
built. Cellars under the end houses in

TOKYO. Feb. p. (UP)-Two
assailants today shot Tatsukichi

One bullet struck Minobe in the

the attacks occurred.
Minobe published a book in
which he contended that the en-

The book was an issue in the

house, and as a result the propoi-
tionate contribution of each taxpayer
is reduced. ....-
Rising in the political scale to the
state, the provision of additional prls-
onS, hospitals, colleges, parks, ETC.
always means profits and work for
certain interested parties, who bring
great pressure to bear to secure legls-
lative approval of these improve
ments, with less and less resistance
from the taxpayers, because OF the
greater number of them that con-
tribute, and because of their reduced
incentive to protest.
When it comes to expenditures oy
the federal government, therefore. the
lid is nearly off. To be sure, II the
federal government supplies only 45To
of the cost of public works, requiring
the cities or states to pay small rate
of interest on the remaining $50, the
cities and states have to give some
thought to the expediency of the con-
templated project, for they have to
bear approximately half Of the cost.
But if the federal government sup
plies all the funds, as in the case OF
postoffices, the more ornate and ex-
pensive the building, the better the
people of the locality are pleased. The
fraction of the cost that falls upon
the local community is insignificant,
and the cost when spread over all the
people of the United States seems too
Slight to be worth bothering about.
So the demand for the expenditure
of federal funds knows almost no
bounds. The Federal Government is
expected to supply funds not only for
elaborate postoffices, local waterway
improvements, ETC.. but also for vet
Grams, farmers, public works, and so
on.
The resistance would be more eff
fective if the government were to
raise the necessary funds through tax
alton, instead of through the sale OF
bonds, but this would be too unpopu-
lar. So the dance goes onl

nutrition. For this reason the
weight of the young school child
Is carefully watched.
Schools all over the country are
doing a great deal to correct this
condition. BY extra lunches, Sc
curing home cooperation, and
continued examinations Of the en-
tire school. It sounds simple, but
often it requires superhuman eff
fort to bring a group Of under
nourished children up to normal.
A typical and wells Eudied at
tempt was made a few years ago
n my own city in the Lowell
Bchool. Here IL per cent Of chill
dren showed evidence of malnutri-
ton in that they were 10 per cent
nnderweight or more.
To correct this, the first step
was to institute mid-morning and
mid-afternoon lunches. The food
was planned to supplement the
home dietary and to supply about
half (1,000 to 1000 calories) of
the necessary days rations. Pro-
tective feeding, as developed by
DR.. McCollum OF Johns Hopkins,
was followed. Each child got one
10 two pints of milk with cereal
end fruit. Soups, vegetables and
sandwiches made up the rest of
the requirements. (The meals cost
on the average 6 II, cents.)
Then a physical examination
was made and an attempt to find

were:

ly affected). 35 per cent Evidence
of ricketts,, % per cent Evidence
of latent tuberculosis, per cent.
Poor posture, 81 per cent.
Parents Asked to Cooperate
Cooperation of the parents was
sought to correct these conditions
and to plan home meals which
would be more nutritious. Here,
strangely enough, the greatest
difficulties were encountered. When
the children were reweighed after
having been on the extra ration
for some weeks, some were found
to be still losers; the nurse, by
superhuman effort, visited all these
homes. She found that mothers,
thinking no news was good news,
had relaxed their efforts. This
repeated popping up of home efforts
was continuously necessary.
The results were all that could
be expected. Nearly all the extra
feeders made an initial early gain.
This, no matter what the condition
of teeth, tonsils, adenoids, posture,
ETC., or even whether home condi-
lions were improved. This shows
that most malnutrition is more or
less simple and due to lack ct
enough food.
After the physical defects were
corrected more progress was made.
At the end Of the test period (only
nine and half weeks), the gain
in this group was 3O2 per cent
over the control group.
Some of the failures are instruc.
tive.
One failure was due to the nat
ural perversity Of the boy and his
mother. Both were untruthful and
broke all known health rules.
One case is admitted to be a
puzzle. The more the boy ate, the
thinner he got and also the
stronger. He played on the base.
ball team and apparently was in
tip-top health. It was decided that
he was one Of those naturally
thin children" we hear about.
Well, am sure there are such
children, and 1t is confirmatory to
have a professional nutritionist
such as Maud A. Brown, who made
this report. acknowledge 1t.
