TOWX MEETINGS The "town meeting" is to be re- Tlved in Lawrence, Kan., as a part of city commission government The mayor will issue a proclamation set ting aside one evening each month for the meeting. AH citizens will be expected to attend, and to come with si intelligent. . public-eplrtted interest In the affairs of the city. This plan is intended to do away with the evil of public Indifference to civic affairs, said to be especial ly fostered toy the commission gov ernment system. The town meeting is not new. It still exists in some parts of New England. Our forefathers knew it well in the early days of this coun try's settlement. As the population of a town grows, however, the town meeting becomes awkward and un- "wieldy. This is one reason why it has been generally abandoned. Regardless of town meetings, very citizen ought to be sufficiently interested in the affairs or his com munity to follow -with thoughtful in terest the work of city officials, to attend council meetings occasionally and to know what his city needs -most to Insure its health, safety and good government. He should have opinions and express them at the proper times and places. If the cit izens of any community lack such interest, no number of town meet ings will do any good aid do form of. government is immune from ruts and moss-grown methods. The people who back government al reforms whether of the small ' town, the city, the coucty, state or nation would do well to remember this fact and to accompany their re forms with intelligent, wide-awake educational campaigns. SKILL A.VD SERVICE FII5ST Some one has been prophesying to the public a "flivver" airplane which would sell for not much more than $500 and so would be available to nearly everybody within the next few years. 'Archibald Black, aeronauti cal mechanical engineer In the U. S. navy department, warns against any such development of the airplane. He urges manufacturers not to build flying flivvers until the com mercial lines are in successful oper atlon. iHe believes that the small cheap car, in the hands of the public. "is liable to prove the fool killer par excellence and create a grossly exaggerated Idea of the dangers or flying." This would, of course, have a deterrent effect upon the whole development of commercial and pleasure aviation. It Is more important first, says Mr". Black, to organize chains of fly ing and emergency landing Holds throughout the country. Next, spe cially designed passenger and ex press carrying aircraft should be put Into operation as speedily us possible. This should be done with careful choice of routes In accord ance with service needs.

T Xew York, Aug. il. Hospitals without doctors, medicines or linen; major operations performed without anesthetics, patients lying at the point of death without fuel to keep them warm, and a great lack of food and bandages, were the outstanding horrors in Dr. Halm I. Davis' des cription of the medical situation among the- Jews of Poland when he spoke 'before a meeting of promi nent men called together by Felix M. Warburg to discuss Jewish relief abroad. Dr. Davis, a well-known psychiatrist of Chicago, was a major In the American "Red Cross during the war and is thoroughly familiar with Polish conditions, returning from that country only a few weeks ago. , "In Poland there are no hospitals or medical facilities according to our understanding ot the terms," said Dr. Davis. There Is a great lack of clothing, fuel, medicines, disinfect ants and even doctors in Poland. 'A large percentage of the doctors have been killed in the war and the medi cal schools have been virtually closed for several years. As at result med ical attention is extremely scarce. The Jewish hospitals, once progres sive and up-to-date, are in a terrible state of demobilization. 'I have seen major operations per formed without any anesthetics. In addition to the suffering that it en tails this has a bad 'effect on the work of the surgeons. Modern sur gical training does not teach speed as an essential, for the patient is upposed to be under an anesthetic." At the urgent request of Dr. Davis American Jewish relief agencies are re-equiplng the Jewish hospitals in Poland with drugs, surgical instru ments, bandages and other supplies. The cost of this work is estimated at 11,500,000. This money will be rawn from the S35, 000,000 that the American Jewish Relief committee Is asking of the country this year. SHIM MIS' HOT Continued from Page One. 1 the dispatch of American troops across the border and to request their withdrawal, according to a statement Issued at Mexico Oily yes terday. Washington, .Vug. 21. Mexico's protest at the punitive expedition and request for withdrawal was made to the state department today. No announcement was made In reply but the indications are that the Mexican protest will not basten the withdrawal. The troops are on a hot trail and It is not expected that they will return until the, bandits are captured or the trill becomes cold. El Centre, Cal., Aug. 21. Two army airplanes have arrived here preparing to search for Meutenant Waterhouse, reported two days' missing from Rockwell field. It Is planned to search both sides of the border. It Is not known whether Waterhouse descended in (Mexico or on the American side. Me wus a member of the border patrol. Marfa, Tex.. Aug. 21 X'ninnM ! Longhome. American army com mander of the Big Bend district, has suggested to the Mexican au thorities that General Prunedtf, Mexican comamnder. and the AmH. cans cooperate In pursuing the ban- uits wno kidnapped the two imo.i. can aviators. QUINTS PAIS DAILX It ha been found that the fund derived from the regular tax levy for the upkeep of Riverside park is not sufficient to make many Improve ments that are very much needed. such aa the clearing of additional frontage along the river, the build ing of some kind of fireplaces for cooking and other conveniences. These Improvements would not only add much to the comfort and pleas ure of the people of Grants Pass, much more attractive place for tour ists. People from all parts of the country are continually rising the camping places In the park, and they would surely carry away a hap pier memory of the town If they found in the camp some kind of simple arrangement whereby their camp cooking could be made easier. A fund for the purpose of making these improvements has recently bees started by a number of Grants Pass citizens and It is hoped to In crease this fund during the winter so that next spring the park may be made more comfortable and attrac tive. There are several schemes on Toot now to raise the required money, and a little thought and planning will soon bring others to light. A number of persons of mu sical ability bare promised to give a benefit concert; Miss "Wolke is wil ling to give a performance to In crease the fund, and Dr. O. E. Ban croft of the Picture Mill has offered to lecture, giving the proceeds for the same purpose. Any other suggestions for raislne funds will be gratefully received by the committee In charge of the park. Cash donations may be given to Mrs. George Riddle, Mrs. George Cramer, or any other member of the committee. 1 PICNIC SUPPER SAT. Gen. lx)gan W. K. C. will hold their regular semi-monthly meeting Saturday afternoon. Owing to the large number to be voted on and in itiated the corps will open earlier than schedule time.
