B. Babington, president of the board. Tile hospital which cares for indi gent crippled children under sixteen, is doing a most effective kind of pre ventive work, in taking small children who are handicapped by some physical defect and as far as possible giving them a chance to correct it. In a | majority of eases, the correction largely removes the defect, but in practically all the cases, their condi tion is" vastly improved, and the chil dren are trained to care for them selves. During the year ending July, 1920, the hospital cared for 329 children, and dismissed 237. in an improved condition. One death occurred, two were dismissed unimproved, and nix who had been admitted were not treated/ The number of hospital days to talled 24.540, with an average daily cost per child of $2.80 for care and treatment. There were 562 opera ! tions and manipulations performed during the year, and 1,071 minor pro cedures. Four hundred and sixty nine X-ray pictures were made.

BE* OF FRANCE SAYS BUNKS BACK FRI VISIT THERE French People Very An tagonistic to Americans, Says Director of Euro pean Tours. v SPAIN AND ITALY ABOUT THE SAME Does Not Advise Tourists to Visit Those Countries Now.—Praise for Au stria and Germany. Beware of France, Italy and Spain is the advice brought back from Eu rope by H. W. Blanks, director of the Concord Y tours which returned on the Leviathan this week from an ex tended trip, through Europe. Ameri cans are none too well received in Eng'and. Mr. Blanks added, but theie tile feeling of hostility is not so pro nounced as in France and Italy. “The American Legion should not a'tempt to hold any reunion in France,” was Mr. Blanks’ answer to a query regarding the advisability of the Legionnaires going there in 1928. “The French are antagonistic, they are jealous, se’fish and exceedingly ready and anxious to get money in any possible means" Serious dis orders would arise during a conven tion in Paris, Mr. Blanks thinks. The rank nnd file in Italy did not show such hostility as was seen on every hand in France. Mr. B'anks said, but there was an undercurrent that could not be mistaken. “And in addition to this feeling against Americans,” he said, “there is an other objection to Italy—women are never Rate unless with escorts. Men in Italy will follow women any time and any place.” f Mr. Blanks paid his first visit to Spain while in Europe this summer and while he marvelled at the beauty of some of the cities, he was not favorably impressed with the country. “Some of the larger cities,” he said, “are among the most, picturesque and romantic in all of Europe, but there are So many evidences of poverty, dirt and ignorance that I was not im pressed with the country.” Through out the interior of the country, he Raid, he saw no evidence of progress. "I went form Hes without seeing any evidences of a house built during the past 509 years,” he added. Admitting that most tonrists are attracted to Europe by old buildings and different conditions, Mr. Blanks explained that Spain was the only country he saw that showed no signs of progress. In one town in England the Con cord party had some trouble getting accommodations although their reser , rations had been booked far in ad vance. “The manager of the hostelry , told us without hesitation that he did j not care if we had no place to sleep and nothing to eat,” the director of the tours stated. "Later in the night we were nlmost insulted by some aris tocrats in old tuxedos who frowned on us because we wore the raiment of ’ tourists.” While Rotary clubs have been es tablished in England they are not as popular as they are in other coun tries and notably the United States. “I attended a Rotary meeting," Mr. Blanks stated, “and there a fellow Rotarian told me he had tried to or ganize a club in a city in which he formerly lived. He said he asked a prominent manufacturer to join, ex plaining that a hardware merchant nnd a grocer also had been invited. The manufacturer was astounded that he had been asked to sit and eat with a hardware man and a grocer. I was told that such a spirit, still prevails in all parts of England, with class against class and jealousies dominat ing them all.” This spirit of intol erance, Mr. Blanks thinks, causes most of the trouble between the Eu ropean nations. Asked the country which impressed him most Mr. Blanks answered em phatically “Austria.” “Although the Germans made Aus- 1 tria bear the brunt of the war, I found there the happiest people and the most prosperous looking people I saw in Europe. In Vienna I saw well dressed |>eople and while it is a fact perhaps, that in the smaller towns and rural sections there is some poverty, one does not sec many evi dences of it in Vienna.” Mr. Blanks 1 added that he was cordially welcomed 1 everywhere he went in Austria, the people apparently being determined to ] seek the tourist crowds. Germany also impressed Mr. Blanks and in this connection he stated that 1 a straw vote taken on the Leviathan | on the return trip found more of (tie ' tourists aboard favorable to Germany ' than any other country visited. "The German people apparently have no grudge against Americans and during the week I spent there I received nothing but cordiality and courtesy,” ' Mr. Blanks said that another poll was taken on the Leviathan in regard to cancelling the war debts. There was an overwhelming majority, he said, against giving France anything. “Many of the people who voted in the poll thought the debts of some of the other nations could be cancelled, but the vote against France was prac tically unanimous. This was brought about by the evidences of robbery and thievery we experienced in France, where the people showed every dispo sition to liold us Up everytime *we sought to bay anything or do any (Please Turn to Page Five!) * ' HUD VITER IT RESULTS II mm&s* John H.

Sept. 9.—C4»)—As sailing his brother, County Judge Cbatt, because lie sentenced Burt coun ty law violators to a bread and water diet, John H. Chatt. 45. Bancroft farmer, today took the initiative in a legal fight to free Roy Carson, 35 years old, Bertha farmer, who is ser ving such a sentence for liquor law violation. Chatt, a lifelong friend of Carson, who is On h s second day of the mea gre diet, said that if legal steps fail to niter the sentence, he would at tempt to bring food to Carson ut the jail in Tekamah. “Then we will let a jury tty me for the offense," he said. “No twelve men ever would convict me. There are no twelve men in the xtate who would let a man starve to death.” Judge Chatt. in Rochester, Minn., where Mrs. Chatt is ill, has used the bread and Water sentence here for some time, but Carson and Thos. Nelson, 50, another farmer, attracted atten tion by making an unsuccessful ap peal to the state supreme court. While some physicians said the diet will not harm them. Dr. Isaiah Luk ens . former county physician, and mayor of Tekuiuah, declared they could not stand the strain. Nelson had not been taken Into cus tody. but is expected to start sentence the latter part of this week. Chatt's first steps to save Carson were to employ Richard Hunter. Ohaha attorney, Harry B. Grand, Des Moines attorney, an avowed wet. also telegraphed to offer his services. The action to be taken has not been decid ed upon. The Bancroft farmer describes the sentence as the- "dirtiest dM I atr bran) of.” Chatt's deuuncutipn of his brother brought a sharp exchange of words with county attorney Rhodes, who defended Judge Chatt’s action. VETOES PROPOSAL That State Prison Farms Be Con nected With Dairy Farm. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. o.—l>W | Governor Mcl*ean, for all his en thusiasm over the progress of the dairy industry in North Carolina, has vetoed the proposal that one of 1 the state prison farms be converted into a dairy farm. “It requires intelligence to oper ate a dairying industry," the Gov \ ernor emphasized, “and ninety-five per cent of the state prisoners are totally unfit for it.” He said that it might be possible to entrust dairy farms to prisoners in some of the northern or estem states, because of the higher men tality and training of the majority ot: the inmates of those prisons, but re garded it ns extremely impractical to attempt anything more complex than raising cotton with convicts in North Carolina as long as their number is inode up so largely of negroes and uutrained white men. | The Governof, however, is doing all in his power to push dairying outside prison walls. He is schedule to go to Alamance county Friday and deliver a speech at a farmer's picnic where dairying will be the principal topic under dis ; cuasion. He stated that he had pre pared no speech for the occasion, hut would speak oil the promotion of the i industry in the state, and tell of some . of his observations of the dairying industry ipi Wisconsin, where he spent his vacation.
