 Maine Ans sFassachusetts. In ie20 Governor Baxter of Maine appoint. ed her to the State Board of Reg istration of Medicine, the first wom. sn to hold that post ln any state, lt is believed, Then, ct S2, release from family responsibilities made 1t possible for Mary Cushman to go to Africa, She reached ChileSso ct 10 o'clock one night and al seven the next morning was at work In the dispensary, Almost immediately she was left alone without white asso- ciates for several weeks. She has learned to use the Umhundu lan- guage. She has trained medical and surgical helpers among the native young men and women.
 For the first years medical and surgical work was done in an adobe, grass-roofed dispensary and pa- tients were cared for in just grass hutsl Now there is small but mod. ern hospital building serving an area as large as Massachusett and Connecticut together. In the last three months before her return pr. Cushman treated over 4000 persons, and more than 10000 prescriptions were given out last year.
 pr. cushman has not remained in the hospital all the time. She has travelled by hammock and on foot many long days on native trails through jungle and forest, over rivers and mountains, through seas of grass ten feet deep, through fire and flood. Sometimes she campeo with only a mosquito netting be- tween her and prowling wild beasts. She says the netting, moving and yet transparent, frightens the beastsl
 Perhaps one of the greatest trib- utes from this hard-boiled world of ours to the personality of Mary Cushman is the spell she casts on men, reporters a md photographers alike, That woman talks in headlines" said one. A camera man sat entranced on his camera case during an entire in- terview.
 Dr. Cushman is m'ich more than a doctor of sick bodies-she is a doctor of sick souls. The religious impulse which sent her out to Afri- ca in the footsteps of the Great Physician has never once deserted her there.

CHANNEL IS DUG TO
IMPROVE CITY WATER
Flow 25 Feet Wide Is Brought
To North Side OF Intake
From Main Channel

The work of digging a channel
in the Yellowstone river bed and
diverting a flow of water to the
north side of the city's water in
take was completed last week by a
drag line outfit operated by M.
R. Robinson, according to Chef
Eyer, city engineer. By divorcing
part of the river flow to the north
both north and south sides of the
intake are supplied with water from
the main channel. The work was
done to avoid future contamination
from a slough slightly farther up
stream on the north side.
A wing was constructed on the
north side of the intake itself last
winter to prevent the slough water
from entering the intake ports; this
fall a new channel was dug, and in
the coming winter the wing may be
heightened.
The recently completed north d.
version channel is about rs feet
wide and about 400 feet long. Ap-
proximately 1000 cubic feet of ma
terial had to be moved.
Robinson, the drag line operator,
had been putting in a drain ditch
near Park City. While waiting for
an irrigating canal, which the drain
crosses, to suspend for the winter,
Robinson became available for 9TH
er work, including cleaning the Cove
north of Laurel and the in
axe Job for the city.
