FOUR PRIZES OFFERED * IN HEALTH CONTESTS t 'IFour prizes, each og $25, are being offered this fall by Dr. Mabel S. Ulrich, director of the Health Service department for the Northern division of the Red Cross. ‘The subjects of the four contests are. ! A set.of twelve health posters or a “health premier,” A scenario for a moving picture play, illustrating some special health activity. ] A health playlet, and A plan for making any school dis- trict “the most healthful district in the state.” : Only students at Normal schools and rural teachers will be eligible to complete for these prizes. ~ The posters should be designed with the idea of using them ‘for teaching chillden the fundamental health rules, such as the necessity for much sleep with open windows, for drinking milk rather than coffee, for brushing the teeth twice a day at least, for having vigorous exer- cise. Twelve posters, each illustrat- ing a different rule, constitute the They should be on double welght Bristol cardboard, 22 by 28 inches in size. If the pictures cut from magazines are used for decora- tion, the name and date of-the maga- zine should be placed on the back. A health primer may be submitted in- stead of the posters, and it should be fu the form of a simply made booklet ‘containing pictures and verses il- lustrating health rules. The scenario should be one reel in length, and like the playlet is.in- tended to present in dramatic form the all-important lesson of health. It ehould be adapted for presentation to an audience of children. The playlet should be written with the idea of having it acted by chil- dren, perhaps as part of their hygi- ene work. For this reason, it should have only one act or at most two acts; and the scenery and costumes should be simple enough so that it may be put on in the ordinary rural _ school. In formulating the plan for mak- ing a school district more healthful conditions in the average rural com- munity should be kept in mind, and all details should be worked out to make it entirely practical. - A plan that has been tried -successfully would be especially valuable, All entries for these contests should be sent in to Dr. Ulrich at the Northern division headquarters at Minneapolis before December 1, 1920. The judges will be leading health and social workers of the di- visfon.” Their decisions will be made Decemler 15, and the prizes awarded at once. Each manuscript or set of posters submitted should bear a num- ber and the name of the person for which it stands. No names should appear on the manuscripts or posters submitted. If further information regarding the health contest is desired, applica- tion should be made to Dr. Mabel Ul- rich, Director of Health Service, DEMAND FOR KNOWLDEGE IS INCREASING EACH YEAR Washington, Sept. 22 (Capital News Service). — Reports from throughout the United States are to the effect public schools, colleges and v BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION By Wakrer G.

We are eminent in the world, and self-respect- ing as no other people are. Yet Amer- ica has just begun. It is only morning in our National life. I believe there is a destiny for this Republic; that we, are called to the imheritance, and are golng on to its ~fulfillment, Let us bave our faces to the-front. Let us oling fast to the inheritance which is ours, never fearing the enemy from without, but watching the enemies from within, and move on to the ful- filiment of a splendid destiny.- I want America to be the rock of secufity at home, resolute in righteous- ness and unalterable in security and supremacy of the law.

The physical condition of the soll may be greatly improved by growing some_ sofl-bulld- Ing crop preparatory to seeding. .The Ignd should be turned and sub-solled to a depth of 6 to 12 inches, and harrowed until it is thoroughly pulver- fzed. Before turning, a liberal appli- cations (8 to 10 tons per acre) of well-decomposed stable manure and 300 pounds of lime should be applied. When a perfect seed bed has been made, apply 600 to 8§00 pounds of 8-4-4 commerecial fertilizer and harrow thoroughly into the first few inches of doll. = The lawn grasses should be careful- ly selected, and only those grasses or mixtures used that are adapted to that locality and are capable of making a good sod under existing conditions. A mixture of Kentucky blue grass, Ber- muda, and white clover is especially suitable to the partially shaded lawn, the blue grass predominating in the shaded portions of the lawn and the Bermuda In the sunny spots while the clover keeps .the entire lawn green throughout the winter.

BIRD BATH IS GOOD IDEA Feathered Creatures ‘Will Appreciate iIt, and It Is Recommended as a Gloom Dispelier, Anyone who wants a true gloom dis- peller right- before his eyes all the time has ohly to fix up a bird bath of sotte sort on his lawn.- No lawn is too small to afford space for one and no city street so congested that sooner or later some feathered neigh- bor will not seek out the bird bath and make himself its immediate ex- cuse for being. . It 1s not necessary to have anything elaborate. A fountain of stone or ce- ment may be very tasteful, but little old robin will take the finest bath in the world in any shdllow tin pan. A coat of moss-green paint will turn the home-contrived article into a thing of beauty, blending in with the green of the grass around it. No old swimming hole ever saw more antics than are carried on by the splashing birds, not any imore unre- strained delight.in the water, nor any more democratic gatherings, nor heard more chattering.
