HEALTH PROPAGANDA.
The tendency formerly was to leave the protection of the pub
lic health largely to state authorities. Local boards of health were
not commonly regarded as important. They were paid little and
they did little. Now all over the country there is a movement to
organize municipal health departments with' the same efficiency
considered necessary for school, police, and highway work, and
to start county movements to promote health ideas in the rural
districts.
After your public officials have done everything possible in
the way of health regulation, then you must depend on the co
operation of the people. Where there are many families that live
in a careless way, it takes a lot of propaganda to remove disease
perils.
No matter what precautions you take, if you have people who
spit in the public streets, who take no pains to keep garbage and
manure covered, who permit flies to swarm unchecked through
their dirty homes, you have a disease peril always existing that no
amount of public health efficiency can offset.
Splendid work is being done in many localities to promote
health information and ideas among the common people. In Mor
gan county, Alabama, for instance, they have newspaper articles
prepared once a week by the county health officer, lectures on
healtn,su!:ects with lantern slides, health posters in public places,
exhibits at the county fair showing how disease germs are carried,
and a physical inspection of every school child in the county.
A n equally active campaign ought to be carried on in Douglas
count. The suiools are the most promising of all these lines of
effort. If you teach health and sanitation principles to young
folk 3 at an age when they take in new ideas easily, they will not
forget them.
A USELESS
If it is ihe unexpected that happens most frequently in human
affairs, it was the expected that overtook Laura Bromwell, one of
the world's greatest "stunt" aerial navigators. Daring such as
she indulged in invites its own fate. Her death while performing
some of her circus feats in the air was a question of time only,
and in her case the time lapse was short instead of long. The
dashing young woman who less than a month ago astonished the
country by "looping the loop" 199 times in one hour and 20 min
utes is today a piece of broken clay. The "looping" record for
women pilots becomes a more prominent feature of her obituary
because the feat was so recently performed.
Miss Bromwell's death in the presence of a great throng em
phasizes what was almost universally said at the time she achieved
her remarkable record for a woman pilot such deeds of reckless
ness without any compensating value tend to retard the wider use
of air machines. In war, when all sorts of maneuvers are com
pulsory, because combat is forced upon a scouting pilot by the
watchful enemy whose duty it is to drive him away either through
strategy or death, these desperate stunts are countenanced. But
for a young woman to imitate that dare-devil spirit for the mere
amusement of a holiday crowd, or to inflate her professional van
ity, is without excuse.
If the airplane has no stronger claim upon public support
than these thrilling, but after all useless, feats when performed
unnecessarily and without purpose, except blank amusement
their development and general service will be slow. What value
there can be in noting the number of times a courageous young
woman can turn her aircraft completely over is outside the in
terest of the ordinary human. Aerial pilots may know what use
such stunts are, but they will have some trouble to make it con
vincingly plain to those who stay on the ground.

True to form, the American Red Cross rose to the emergency
at flood-swept Pueblo. Even before the extent of the disaster was
fully realized, agents of the organization were on their way to the
scene to reinforce the resident representatives in their work of
practical rolief. An initial appropriation of $50,000 by national
headquarters was quickly followed by a second of the same amount
and it was announced that more money could be had if needed.
Red Cross nurses were quickly mobilized, supplies of tents and
brdding and hospital equipment were quickly shipped. Thus we
have a striking illustration of the perfect system which charac
terises the American Red Cross. Wherever there is need of help
ing hnnds it is on the job without delay. It is said that half an
hcur aik-f the Wall street explosion in New York, a year ago, the
Red Cross was on the spot. Whatever the nature or extent of the
disasUv, it "inds the Red Cross ready to render every service in its
povrr. Every new instance of its prompt efficiency provides an
additional reaoon why it should receive the fullest measure of
popular support.

Forest Supervisor W. F. Ramsdell
has been notified that a radio station
Is to be installed at Big Camas and
an emergency landing Held for air
planes at Illahee In order to facilitate
the work of the air patrol.
The radio apparatus is being do
nated by the war department and
will be of such a type that the oper
ator can be In constant touch with
the planes patrolling the forests. At
Ilig Camas he is centrally located
In relation to the telephone system
of the L'mpqua forest and can at a
moment's notice send fire warnings
or information to any part of the
forest direct from the observers In
the planes.
Last year it was necessary for the
planes to return to their base before
making a report on any blaze which
might be spotted, but with the radio
equipment installed at convenient
points it will be possible immediate
ly upon sighting a blaze to convey
information to the ground forces and
thus expedite the work of fire fight
ing.
The emergency landing field will
also be a great assistance to the
patrol. Last year there was a very
serious accident when two fliers
were forced to alight in the Big
Camas district, completely wrecking
their plane and endangering their
lives. It is necessary for the safety
of the machines and the filers that
landing fields be constructed at close
Intervals, and Illahee Is considered
an Ideal place for such a field.
The place where the field Is to be
located was formerly used as an In
dian reudevous and race track. The
ground is quire level and smooth and
the timber is thin and scattering.
The Boil Is deep and bard and with
little work a good landing field can
be arranged.
Two men nave already been sent
out for the purpose of blowing out
the Btumps and doing the prelimin
ary work on the field. The brush
and timber will be cleared off and
the stump holes filled fend the entire
surface dragged.

Establishment of an interstate sys

as the primary function of tbe com

would be followed with consideration
given agrlcultral, comiuuiercial, post
al and military needs. The Interests
of ports would be expected to be
guarded and connections with border
lines a . 1 the main highways of for

fscheme. Highways within towns of
more than 6000 population would
lict be under the commission's Juris
diction, "except that portion which,
within a distance of one mile, the
bouses average more than 200 feet
apart."
All highways built under the act
would be free from tolls. Some other
provisions are:
"That In any state where such In
terstate highways or parts thereon
have been constructed in accordance
with a standard deemed adequate for
prevailing traffic by tbe commission
and are maintained as elsewhere pro
vided in this measure, the commis
sion Is authorized and directed to
join with the state in the establish
ment and construction or reconstruc
tion of other highways connecting or
Correlating with the Interstate sys
tem. "That no project shall he approved
by the commission in any state until
ihe state has made adequate provis
ion for the maintenance of all high
ways selected by the commission in
that state."
Repair Assured.
Should any state fall to fulfill Its
agreement with the federal commis
sion relative to maintenance after
construction of such roads the fed
eral commission would serve -notice
npon the state commission, and if re
pairs were not made within 100 days
after receipt of the notice the federal
commission would make the repairs
snd charge th cost against the state
federal apportionment.

WASHINGTON, June 11. Q. W.
Luce, freight traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific lines, with bead
quarters at San Francisco, and A. O.
liarawill, assistant freight traffic
manager of the Santa Fo, with head
quarters also In Sau Francisco, are
now on their way to Los Angeles, and
will announce the new freight rates
on California and Pacific coast fruits
and vegetables there Saturday.
Thia announcement of voluntary
reduction on the part of the carriers
1b to forestall any action by the Inter
state commerce commission, and Is
to be in time for the movement of
the tremendous crop of Imperial val
ley cantaloupes, as well as the decid
uous fruits of the coast, which are
now almost ready for market.
One of the delays In the announce
ment of the new rate baa been due
to a disagreement between the east
ern and western roads as to tbe divi
sion of the new rate, the eastern
roads desiring to have tbe Western
lines bear the bulk of the reduction.
This is now being adjusted in con
ferences in New York, but however
that Is decided It will not delay the
promulgation of the new rates.
