Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The school children of the Beroun
and Friesland schools were inspected
during the past week, and visits were
made to the homes where possible.
Sometimes it was found that child
had slightly weak eyes, due perhaps
to excessive strain put upon them,
or to having had measles, scarlet
fever, or some other disease which
may affect his general health. Keep
your children from having these COM
municable diseases, they are dan
gerous especially to younger chill
dren.
Quarantine Helps All.
The laws regarding communicable
diseases are enforced for the good of
the patient and everyone else. 1t was
found that family quarantined for
a serious disease had been sending
one of their children to school, un-
known to the health officer. All chill
dren in the school were thus eX-
posed to the disease, through the
parents negligence.
The Hinckley school children were
given their second dose for diph-
liberia immunization, and some were
re-vaccinated for smallpox. Because
of the buses not getting in, some
will be missed. These children are
to come to Miss Virginia Karlson's
office, and she will arrange for the
shot to be given by one of the doc
tors.
The Central subcommittee meet
ing had to be postponed because of
the road conditions. Perhaps we
will not be able to have this meet
ing for few weeks, as it is to be at
Cloverdale. Notices will be sent out.

Jobless Tax

1t is gratifying that the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the HOUSE District
Committee, after prolonged delay, is
prepared to open hearings next week
on legislation to reduce the local I'M
employment compensation tax from
ct to one-half of per cent.
The facts in support of a tax
reduction are too we'll known to re-
quire extensive elaboration. At the
present time the reserve in the I'M
employment compensation fund is
almost $24,000,00O, enough to pay
benefits at current rates for ten
years or more without another dollar
being collected in tax receipts. Under
the OF tax rate, and despite liberal
ization of benefits last year so that
the scale in the District is well above
khe State average, the reserve fund

such disapprobation Of the existing
system by shattering this sorry
scheme of things entire" in order
to "remold it nearer to the hearts
desire" Granted that his philosophy
was conservative and not altogether
free from fixed opinions rather more
rigid than is fashionable in these
days, he was a fair, reasonable and
a tolerant judge. The spirit of the
law was his principal concern. He
saw it in terms of principle, inter-
preted it in cognizance of the COM
mon good, yet not without regard for
the elemental rights of each indi-
vidual citizen.
In private life, Judge Aukam was
a quiet, self-contained, honorably
independent neighbor. His friends
loved him for his comradely quail
itieS-thoSe talents which made him
congenial companion on hunting
and fishing excursions. He had his
critics as who does not, but he leaves
name which will be remembered
with appreciation and affection.

judge Aukum

1t is an obvious truism that the
character of city is very largely
determined by the courts to which
its people have access. And it also
is a matter of observation and ex-
perience that the nature of those
tribunals is governed by the per-
sonality of the magistrates sitting
in them.
In very large sense, the Municipal
Court of Washington during approx
mately thirty-two years was what
Judge George Charles Aukam made
it. To a degree not surpassed by any
contemporary, he was its original
sponsor, it's father" He helped to
draft the bill which, passed by Con-
gress in February, 1909, brought the
Municipal Court into existence; he
also was responsible for the act of
March, 1921, under which it became
a court of record and is permitted
to hold trial by jury. President
Theodore Roosevelt had appointed
him justice of the peace, one of
half dozen such officers scattered
over the District of Columbia, doing
business" with an informally which
Charles Joseph Bonaparte, Attorney
General, deplored.

is increasing at the rate of about
100000 a year. In other words,
that sum is being taken away from
employers each year without any
justification, since it Is merely being
added to an already grossly excessive
reserve.
Another consideration initiating
In favor of the proposed reduction
is the action of the House in voting
Tuesday to defer adoption of an
employer merit rating plan for the
District until August, 1913. Under
existing circumstances the decision
to postpone action on a merit rating
system, which was supposed to have
been taken by the first of the year,
was wise one But it has the effect
of introducing one more reason why
Congress should move without delay
to modify tax which is plainly
excessive, uneconomic and unreason-
able.

faces a crisis. However, if President
Franklin D. Roosevelt gets the right
breaks" there will not be a war or a
revolution, as it is possible that he
realizes that this country has not a
single real ally among the leading world
powers. Our only course is to wait and
to build war equipment and to train
men. A superior fighting armada. backed
by separate air and land forces. will
command the respect of war-seeking
nations
War is bred from jealousy. What
world power today does not look with
longing eyes at our wealth and at our
abundant natural resources? If any one
thinks we are immune from these greedy
nations it is wishful thinking. Pre-
paredness must come first, then the big
stick" in the words of Teddy Roosevelt.
Right now We are not prepared, so why
go off half-cocked?
BY avoiding this war and by promoting
good will and Americanism within our
shores, this country will survive. In the
days to come. if the United States uses
the right diplomatic tactics with China,
a coming world power, these two nations
could hold the balance of power and
there would be a semblance of peace
throughout the world for future gen.
erations. CARLYLE E. SHIPPEY.

Propounds a Series
OF Searching Questions.

To the Editor of The Star:
Do you think that when the enemy
shoots us and we shoot the enemy that
is war, whether it be on land or on the
high seas?
Can you doubt that it is war when the
shooting is not casual, is not upon the
order Of subordinates, but upon orders
still in effect given by our President and
the Fuehrer of Germany?
If war it be, and war it is. should the
United States. in imitation of Germany
and Japan. dispense with any declara-
ton of its existence?
Or should the United States follow its
own traditional course and declare that
war now exists between the United States
and Germany by virtue of the acts of
war committed by Germany?
Will that declaration expose us to any
danger to which We are not now
exposed?
Will it not rather make the American
people realize our dangers, quicken our
efforts and make victory more certain?
