Cities Double
Health Budget
Infant Welfare and School Hy-
giene Among Items Gaining
Attention, Says Report.
Haltiiuore.—Cities of America are
plucing increasing importance on the
liculih of the community. From 1910
lo 102U health department budgets
were eulurged to u degree promising
marked benefits, it is indicated iu un
amaiysis by W. Tburber Kules of tiie
Bchool of Hygiene und l’ubiic Health,
Johns liopkius university.
The uveruge lor 4o cities allowed s
95 per cent increase in per eupitu ap-
propriations 1910 to 1920 und uu ex-
pense for health departments of 70.4
cents in 1920. The greatest luereuse
was made by cities of 250,000 to 500,-
UA) population, averaging 125 per cent.
Two items—infant w el lare und
school hygiene—indlcato an awakening
of the nuilou to the importance of giv-
ing every child a better chance for
lioultliy development. The American
tlwld Health association, under the
presidency of Herbert Hoover, has been
•ding as a clearing house for child
health information to enable private
agencies to supplement und assist otli-
ciul activities.
Every City Spending More.
Every city, Mr. Fulcs finds, showed
su luereuse in its health department
budget. Milwaukee, with 343 per cent
inn ease, headed the list, while Eliza-
beth, N. J., showed but 25 per cent,
according to Mr. Kales* figures.
Health departments of 61 cities sur-
veyed by Mr. Kules revealed per cuplta
expenditures for all puipose* except
construction of or addition to build-
ings of 07.4 cents. Health service
funds for activities dealing directly
with the protection of public health
aside from the cost of hospitals for
rommiiniciihle diseases and sanatoria,
averaged 51.0 cents per capita.
Bridgeport, Conn., Yonkers and
Flint. Illcli., were ut the top of the
klst in per capita expenditures solely for
health service with rates of 104.9
cents. 03.9 cents and 88.2 cents.
Iu 72 cities child welfare and school
hygiene expenditures ranked next to
the more geueral costs of sanitury in-
spection. communicable disease con-
trol, food inspection uud udminlstru-
lion. Even so. the amounts spent on
these services hy health departments
were not great, that for school hygiene
being 3.9 cents per capita and fur lu-
fuut welfare 3.0 cents.
Hecuuae school health supervision Is
under control of the board of education
In many cities, Mr. Kales doubts that
these (igures present u complete picture
of this service. In 30 cities where
budgetary provision It made to cover
all school health supervision Mr. Kules
found uu average of 8.8 cents per
capita.
Figures Given for Forty Cities.
Figures of the per capita expendi-
tures for the total health service for
the lirst 40 of 81 cities, ns found ly
Mr. Kales, are shown below.
These amounts do not Include money I

Boundary to Be Fixed
From Airplane Pictures
Geneva.—Thanks to the use of air-
planes and special cameras, the Swiss
commission of experts charged with
fixing the long-disputed boundary be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela Is now
supplied with photographs covering
about 2,500.000 acres of the wildest
part of the territory Involved und
should have no difficulty In submitting
Its report to the Swiss government by
December 31, 1924, as planned under
the arbitration agreement. In a report
of the aerial survey, the mission in-
trusted with the task says:
“The base of operations was the
Venezuelan port of Encontrudos, above
the Catntuinho river. After the neces-
sary technical arrangements had been
made in (.’acuta with the Swiss com-
mission of experts, the flights over the
disputed region were begun on May 20.
They ended on June 11, and during this
short time 25 hours were spent iu mak-
ing photographic flights, not counting
u few flights for purposes of study.
“In these 25 hours, hy means of s
method combining vertical and oblique
aerial photography, a territory of about
1,000,000 hectares was snapped. The
photographs clearly show eveu the most
minor details of the ground and make
It possible to draw a map of the re-
gion that will determine, with absolute
exactltute, the system of watersheds
and allow the placing of all the eleva-
tions, even those which up to the pres-
ent had never been seen.”

he that too much space Is taken up
by the provision made lor corridors.
This Is purely a personal affair. The
hall which leads to two of the bed-
rooms might he eliminated, with nc-
cess to them and the bathroom being
had through the dining room. How-
ever, It Is undeniable that the hall
space as planned does make for priv-
acy.
The kitchen is well arranged, has
n spa'clous pantry, and a refrigerator
so placed that It Is served through an
Icing door f-om the rear service porch.
Naturally, one associates a building
of this nature with low-beamed ceil-
Inged rooms, and furniture dark with
age. However, It Is possible to enjoy
the spirit of these, without any de-
pressing actuality, for however pictur-
esque an old house’s timbered Interior
may be, modern ideas of decoration
might look for more cheerful treat-
ment. We might compromise by mak-

oak, or mahogany, or walnut, or stain-

woods to get a darker color note.
There would* be cheerful paper pat-

who originated the cottages of this

ANOTHER LINCOLN STORY
In 1802 an Intimate friend of Presi-
dent Lincoln visited him at the White
House in Washington. He found him
rather depressed in spirits as a result
of the continued reverses which the
federal troops were then suffering.
“This being president Isn’t all that
It is supposed to be, is it, Mr. Lin-
coln V” said bis visitor.
“No,” the president replied, with a
faint twinkle in Ids eye. “I feel some-
times like the Irishman who, after be-
ing ridden on a rail, said: ‘If it wasn’t
for the honor of the thing, I'd rather
walk.* ’’—Judge.
LOVE’S ORDEAL.
The nppeal Is undeniable. The bun-
galow pictured does not merely bring
iiuck to many who nave migrated be-
loved memories of the old country, hut
to those who have always lived in
America It suggests substantial, pic-
turesque building, comfortable living,
and a beauty wtych is real, because It
is based upon sound good taste.
The combination of brick with tim-
bered stucco, the chimney with Us
quaint chimney pots, and the dis-
tinctive windows lead us to look for
similar quaintness in the interior. This
can be made altogether a matter of
individual taste. The floor plan is
up-to-date and spacious, containing not
less than three bedrooms besides the

ier cretonnes, velvets, velours or broad-

would not suggest too much bright
| brass fittings for the fireplace; ham-
mered brass or wrought Iron does
j nicely, and does not take all the pleas-
ure of a fireplace away by exacting
more work than we guin comfort out
of it.

TEXT—This month shall bo unto

Exod. 12:1.
It Is no easy matter to change the
customs and habits of a nation or of
an Individual. Hu-
manly speaking,
such changes are
not only dltficult,
hut practically
impossible. So
m a n y readjust-
ments are In-
volved, and so
great Is the dan-
ger of confusion
und chaos, that
they are never se-
riously contem-
plated. But Jeho-
vah Is the God of
the impossible. In
creation “He spake and It was done."
In redemption “He brought again
from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of the sheep.” He
changed the calendar of Israel, bring-
ing the old order to an end and Intro-
ducing a new.
With redemption by blood, every-
thing begins'anew. “If any man be
: in Christ he Is a new creature; old
things tire passed away; behold, all
things are become new.”—II Cor. 5:7.
When a sinner puts his faith whore
God put ills sins, then our text finds
a spiritual and personal application,
and to that one It may be said : “This
shall he unto you the beginning of
months.” “With men, this Impos-
sible; but with God, all things tire
possible,” Tens of thousands can even
now from experience testify conccrn-
j Ing a translation from darkness to
| light, from the old to the new, brought
about by the power of God In response
j to faith. To such witnesses this event
Is the beginning of months, the Intro-
duction of a new calendar, the hegin-
. nlng of a new life.
: The outstanding features In the
new calendar may be considered In
j these -three words—deliverance, de-
parture and direction. Deliverance Is
first and fundamental. It is accepted
; hy faith In the Word of God nnd obo-
j dlenco to the prescribed conditions.
1 Faith accepts thq blood of the Lamb
! as the divine Julgmcnt upon sin, and in
! that blood shelter and safety Is found.
When the destroying angel passed
through the land of Egypt that event-
ful night, every house on which the
1 blood of the Lamb was sprinkled was
passed over. No angel of Judgment
could enter It, for Judgment had al-
ready taken place, and It Is Impossible
for sin to he Judged twice. Hence the
word of the Lord: “When I see the
blood, I will pass over you, und will
not suffer the destroyer »o come In
unto your house to smite you.” The
most serious question for any and
| every soul of man Is this: "Have yon
sprinkled the blood?" God lias passed
Judgment on nil human sin at Calvary.
"Christ died for our sins.” Through
faith In His Idood all the value and
; virtue of the atoning work of the Son
■ of God comes to us. The blood avails;
nothing else does. “Not hy works of
righteousness which wo have done, but
according to Ills mercy, he saved us.”
i “When T see the blood, I will pass
over you."
1 After deliverance, comes departure.
There must he separation from that
, which has been judged and con-
demned, separation from sin nnd the
world which Is typified of Egypt. In
( the ordinance of the first born, which
follows that of the passover, God as-
serts His right to possess that which
has been purchased. The New Testa-
ment presents the same truth In the
; words: "Ye aro not your own; ye are
j bought with a price.” That which has
i been delivered by divine power Is to
! he devoted to the divine service nnd
glory. Herein the redeemed find their
| greatest happiness nnd development.
I “Yield yourselves to God us those that
j are alive from the dead.”
| After deliverance from Judgment
j and departure from Egypt, directions
were given concerning the pilgrimage
{ upon which the people had entered.
It Is not enough to be delivered; It Is
not enough to be devoted. There Is
still further need to be directed:
“Speak to the children of Israel, that
they encamp . . by the sea." This
was God’s choice, not theirs. To be
in His way Is to be where He Is. Obe-
dience brought them Into n severe
trial, but the trial of faith Is precious
and necessary. Out of that trial came
an experimental knowledge of God’s
power over the enemy, which strength-
ened fuith, developed courage, and
caused them to rejoice In God their
Savior. During the crisis, they were
reduced to helplessness and despair.
IJke the wretched man In the seventh
chapter of Homans, they cried out.
saying: “Who shall deliver?” Then It
was that The Lord fought for His peo-
ple and they witnessed and experi-
enced His saving power, so that sob-
bing was changed to singing.
Deliverance, devotion, direction—
these are the great outstanding things
In the new calendar nnd the new life.
Labor Saving.
Wife—Mrs. Strong knows how to
manage her husband. She hus him
eating out of her hand.
Hub—Lucky man! Then he doesn’t
huve any dishes to wash.
Under Direction.
“Many of the movie queens nre be-
ing directed hy their husbands.”
“I should think better results would
be secured the other way about."
Natural Surmise.
She—What Is hisjiobby?
He—Antiquity.
She—Is that one of them with him?
—London Answers.
Cleans Up the Loose Change.
“Your daughter Helen takes ufter
her mother, doesn’t she?”
"Yes, If there’s anything left In ray
pockets."
Superior to Every Fate.
A life well Jived and rightly ad-
justed to both the transient and the
eternal rises superior to every possi-
ble fate. We need optimism for
health, for courage, for happiness;
we get It hy harmony with God and
with Ids laws. Achieving this, noth-
ing can finally go wrong.
Loving.
It Is best to love wisely, no doubt;
but to love foolishly is better than not
to be nble to love at nil.—W. M.
Thackeray.
Soldiers.
Soldiers looked nt as they ought to
he are to the world ns popples to corn-
fields.—Douglas Jerrold.
Poor Eloquence.
It Is but a poor eloquence which
only shows that the orator can talk.
