He was the leading naval flying ace during the war, and he has been busy all the time since. He has never for an instant tried to get by on what he has done. He has been interested in what he is doing, and it is not hard to believe that Gov. White will know that there has been a campaign in Ohio before he is re-elected next November. PULL WEEDS FOR HEALTH. “To pull a weed is a healthy deed,” is suggested as a new spring slogan for both children and grown-ups by Dr. Ernest H. Lines, Chief Medical Director of the New York Life Insurance Company who pointed out that gardening during the spring and school vacation days is a beneficial form of physical exercise having a definite and proven health value. “Gardening,” states Dr. Lines, “provided it is not undertaken on too ambitious a scale, is not only an interesting pastime which keeps one in the sunshine and fresh air but the physical exercise also develops and strengthens practically all the muscles of the body. The resultant benefit to the health of the individual is both immediate and lasting. It is one of the very best forms of recrea- tion. “Furthermore, the study of nature, and the tendency to observation and study of the natural objects around, develops the mind.” 9 Dr. Lines suggests that parents who live in sub- urban and country districts should encourage their children to raise gardens while on wvacations, and recommends that the boys might and potatoes, while the girls plant and cultivate flowers. Another valuable aid to individual health which would also benefit the health of the community, he declares, would be achieved if groups of school children or the unemployed were organized to free the vacant spaces and countryside of harmful and unsightly weeds which favor the breeding of flies and other insects and ‘the pollen from which causes hay fever and other respiratory irritations. Even in the city, adds Dr. Lines, the young folks who do not have a small lawn or back yard may ; plant gardens by organizing among themseclves and over‘suitable vacant lots, the pesulting “crops” w_be shared equally among the participants. : Many good books on gardening may be had from their school | fected a saving of $331,051 at the University of Washington in the first year of the current bien- nium, according to the report of President M. Lyle Spencer. This saving has been achieved, the report shows, by salary and wage reductions amounting to $58946 and a cut of $272,105 in operating costs. Further economies, it is announced, will be planned at the next meeting of the Board of Regents, on May 31. No doubt the report of President Spencer will be received with considerable gratification by those taxpayers, and they are many, who in these days look upon a dollar saved as a dollar gained, without much reference to pressing demands and possible uses. Other taxpayers, possibly quite as numerous, will be inclined to regret that the evident necessi- ties of a generally emergent condition have called for cuts in University costs that in normal times might be thought drastic. . > i There is reassurance in President Spencer’s state- ment that economies so far effected have been carefully gauged against any loss of effiency. Plain- ly it is possible for all of our schools to trim their costs to some extent without serious detriment to the purposes for which they are maintained. For many years our people have been ungrudging in school support, eager for the proper advancement of the whole educational system.
