town Is filled with tin cana and rub-
oian, in oiner words, the town dump.
Of course one can not attribute un
sanitary conditions to be the entire
reason of a decrease In population,
but It Is certain that It la contrtbu
Ury, for in a conversation overheard
the other day one said: "If you wish
to be aafe In the town of X, why get
vaccinated for smallpox, immunize
for typhoid fever and whooping
cough, and you may survive; at any
rate, I am looking for a more pro
gressive community."
Many schools are striving toward
standardization required by the state
board of education, and the county
superinvenaenia onice snows many
reports and questionnaires that every
one shonld be aware of this fact.
particularly to the cleanliness of the
school building, grounds and out
houses, and It appears some schools
are In need of a lesslon in good
housekeeping. Many parents would
be horrified if they thought their
children visited an unclean toilet at
home, but are not aware of the very
unsanitary places children are re
quired .to go to while in school. .Ob
scene language la another feature
which lowers the morals of the
schools; and still we have parents
who positively believe their children
are blissfully innocent. Poor light
ing, keeping school clean, non-
adjustable desks, are other factors
worth considering. The greatest pre
ventative measure in disseminating
disease germs is the lack of facilities
of waahing hands, and excuses have
been made It Is too expensive to fur
nish paper toweling. A report to the
contrary from Camas Valley Is that
it does not cost over 50 cents ner
child per year, and the children wash
their hands before meals and at re
cess time if they choose. ' The lack
of providing children with handker
chiefs and having them cough and
sneeze without something before
their mouth, is a dlseaae spreader.
Other work of the nubile health
nurse has been to find all persons
suffering from tuberculosis, physi
cally handicapped children, and
whatever services the nurse has been
called noon to do.' The state board
of health, Red Cross, county super
intendent, and physicians have all
contributed to the reporting of the
cases. The report shows 1 8 cases of
tuberculosis. 8 deaths in 1920. 8
crippled children under 20 years old.
2 blind, 2 deaf, 8 feeble minded.
Physicians and dentists report
having been very busy attending to
various Ills referred to them. One
dentist reports 44 dental cases, this
Including his regular xiatlenu; ona
physician reports ever so many ton
sils and adenoids and many bad
eyes. It Is also known these physi
cians have given their services gratis
In a number of cases. There were
three children from one. family who
being handicapped In their school
work, were given nose and throat
treatment and report feeling much
better.
Thru concerted efforts on the part
of public officials and citizens, two
children will be cared for soon, one
a crippled child who Is under the
care of the best experts in the state.
will have a probable opportunity to
become a useful and healthr citizen.
However, there are children In
need of care and do not receive It.
due to finances or not being aware of
the Importance of removal of de
fects, and a personal visit from the
nubile health nurse would throw an
other light on the msny needs for a
public health nurse. It has not neen
possible to do this In every Instance,
as the time is limited.
In conclusion. I wish to say the
co-operation and sympathy for the
need of this work has been most
genuine, thru the zone meetings, the
teachers have responded most heart
ily, the county superintendent and
rural supervisors have been given
opportunities to present the health
programs at all the meeting thru

CHICAGO, May 11. Bands in city
parks evenings, orchestras In factor
ies at noon, and home made concerts
in the home at all times this Is the
cure for many of our social and eco
nomic ills. In the opinion of more than
five thousand leaders of the musical
profession and Industry, in conven
tion here.
The tired business man Is all of us
and a municipal band in a city park
Is better than a first row seat at an
expensive musical comedy. It ia ar
gued.
Favors "Moral Jazz."
Unrest in industry Is soothed by an
orchestra made up of musicians from
the factory and Irritated wives and
'husbands can forget their troubles in
a "home-brewed duet instead of ag
gravating them with peeviBh duo
logue.
Moissaye Boguslawskl, Russian
pianist, aald the composers should
write music that the general public
can appreciate. He told the dele
gates that "moral jazz" is to be tbe
next music.
' "You don't know Shakespeare by
heart. You Just remember a few es
pecially good lines that appeal to
you," he said. "It is the same with
the great composers. The general
public appreciates less than 1 per
cent of their compositions. The great
composers miRht come off their high
horse and write popular music. That'B
the only solution to the jazz menace.
Music Is Substitute.
Professor Boguslawskl said com-
posers should take their cue from the
newspapers.
"Follow the newspapers' Idea." he
rtald. -"The newspaper is the Ameri
can library. It gives the people what
they want In concrete form. Mako
music useful. I)o away with wander
ing themes which go nowhere. Get
lilt of the sloughs. Give the Ameri
can people beautiful, snappy, classical
melodies. Moralize Jazz.
"Community life is better for com
munity music," said C. D. Greenleaf
Rlkheart, Ind.. representing one of
the largest manufacturers of musical
Instruments in the world.
"We have beep trying to fill tbe
void left In the lives of some citizens
V the going out of the saloon. What
-will fill It better than music thst
costs nothing but which settles
nerves ?
People Show Interest.
"Our Industrial unrest has been
big problem with all our business
men. Many of ns are finding thai
factory bands, giving concerts in our
plants, playing for our factory dances
and putting pep Into our Industrial
activities, is doing more to instill
good spirit than any other one thing.
"America Is only now finding out
the value of cnmmiuitty music, som
'hlnc th older countries and our
Mexican neighbors long ago appreel
ated. Proof of the growing Interest
our country Is taking In community
bands, orchestras and amateur per
formnnces Is shown In the fact that
In 1920 when manufacturers were
feeling the economic depression, that
band, orchestra and Instruments that
rnn be played in the home did not fall
off In sales.
Should Be Ereonraoed.
Alexander MacPonald. New York
pointed out that American cities are
now taking more Interest in the per
formances of amateur musicians than
ever before.
"What we want to teach our people
Is to be performers and not listeners
of music." he ssld. "It msy he sing
ing, piano or violin, or some band In
trument. but whatever It Is we must
listen to and encourage every kind of
musical development.
"Everybody likes to appesr In pub
lic and we must not give so much
ime to professional svmpathons hut
to the people In our own midst who
sre interested in beenmlnr muslclsns
Fventiisllv It will bJrhlv develop the
nirticsl tendency that Is apparent In
Americans as in any other race."

the site In Thames street, next to
Onnnonstreet station, of the City of
Loudon Hrew-ery, known a!me the
ilays of Queen Klizuhcth as the only
brewery In the city of London. The
date of the foundation of the brewery
is so remote Unit it is dlllicult to fix
the year. There are proofs In various
ancient documents and archives of the
brewery that It wns flourishing In l.VSii.
Stow mentions IL The Culvert, a
family of brewers celebrated In the
annuls of the trade for the quullty
o their porter, were the most notuhle
men who browed beer with Thames
water on that site. In 1700, Sir Wil
liam Culvert was the fourth brewer
in London, and Calvert and Sewurd. of
Whltecross street, were the first, the
former brewing 51,7S." barrels, and tho
latter 74,704 barrels In thet year. Lit

an old mill loft and a part of tbe
wall of (lie Watermen's hull, which
had lieen burnt down In tbe fire of
London n HKM, rebuilt on the site of
the Allhullowes church, and after
ward Incorporated with Culverts. At
the end of the cigtheenth century im
portant additions ond alterations were
made and some of the walls of the
present buildings date from 1772.
Dresses Made of Dope.
Soon women will t able to dress
themselves entirely in varnish and
with iierfect propriety 1 The varnish
Is opaque and becomes clear a glass
if rolled Into a thin film; but It Is still
varnish, for all that. This new dress
material. In Its liquid days, was called
"dope." and was used to protect air
plane wings from Ore and water. .Non
It Is being spun and woven for wom
en's dresses. The only difference be
iwcen a film of dope, s sheet of this
nuigiciil vaiiilsh, and a skein of "silk,"
is lliut the first Is laid on with a
brush, the second pressed out on a
plate, and the third fnn-ed through a
tiny bole. This material can be used
for practically any article of wearing
apparel. The urticles so mode can

They were killed at a cost of 40
