WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1925 17 HEALTH DOLLAR DOES FINE JOB State Health Authority Gives Figures Acting on the theory that the legis- lature as well as the taxpayer will manifest interest in what has become of the appropriations made to the health department by the 53rd general assem- bly, Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, has prepared a brief report covering the first 17 months of the cur- rent biennium. Item number one in the report states that representatives of the state health department paid 13,465 official visits to local communities in the various counties in the state during the 17 months ended November 1, 1924. This gives an aver- age of about 130 visits per county or a total of nearly 800 trips per month, an average of about 30 daily. It is con- tended that such a volume of activity is bound to have produced considerable re- sults of a satisfactory character. Cook County Leads Cook county headed the list for of- ficial attention of the health officers, drawing 1,039 of the 13,465 vitits while Peoria county, with 962, stood high for the down state territory. Putnam county drew last place with but four visits, be- ing slightly below Calhoun and Boone with six and seven respectively. Enlarging upon the cause for so many journeys into the state the report points out that 6,499 trips resulted from the demands of local health workers for ex- pert advice and assistance; 4402 were for making special investigations con- cerning outbreaks of diseases--tracing and eliminating the source, establshing quarantine and other control measures; 774 were for delivering public health lectures; 329 were for inspecting and supervising the production of public water supplies. Other trips were made for miscellaneous purposes. Many Examined By way of describing certain features of the activities the report indicates that 112,460 adults were examined physically for demonstrational purposes; 33,049 babies and 24,113 school children were examined by physicians, 9,548 personal conferences were held in regard to local health service and 33 municipalities were assisted in passing safe milk ordinances. The largest item on the report was the statement that nearly 300,000,000 units of diptheria antitoxin were dis- tributed gratuitously but it must be re- membered that several thousand units are required for one patient. The distri- bution of educational literature and mo- tion pictures stood second totaling nearly a million pieces. There were 87,477 cases of venereal diseases treated in the clinics supervised by the department while 52,956 doses of biologics, other than diptheris antitoxin were distributed free. Clinics for treating crippled chil- dren were held to the number of 72 before that service was taken over by the Illinois Crippled Children's Society. Another important item shown on the report was the 95246 examinations made in the diagnostic laboratory. Doing Excellent Work "The compilation shows in gratifying measure that the public health dollar is doing heavy duty," declared Dr. Rawl- ings, "but the services rendered have merely scratched the surface compared to the public health needs in the state. Extension of local health service is par- ticularly indicated and legislation will be recommended which will provide for local health service under the direction of full time county health officers. Julia Hurley has been added to the cast of Richard Dix's forthcoming Paramount picture, "Too Many Kiss- es." Mrs. Hurle was seen last in sup- port of Bebe Daniels in "Argentine Love." EXPERTS IN RADIO TO TALK AT HIGH SCHOOL Karl "Low Loss" Hassel, radio ex- pert who derives his nickname frem his experiments with what are term- ed low loss sets, speaks before the New Trier Radion club Friday after- noon of this week in the chemistry lecture room of the school. He was to explain the principles of his work to a large audience composed not only of club members but of other radio fans. The Radion club is a comparatively new organization at New Trier. It was established about two months ago by a number of students who are radio fans and has since grown to be quite a large group. The club numbers 15 active and about 100 associate mem- bers at present. Plans are on foot to install a re- ceiving set and a transmitting set to be operated under an experimental license at the school. Interesting speakers are being secured to speak every week before the club and any one else who cares to attend. Thurs- day evening, January 29, McMurdo Silver, another radio authority, will speak in the school auditorium at 7:45 o'clock, on the general principles of the super-heterodyne set. The pub- lic is invited. Club members hope to do great things in the future. They point out that most of the wonderful advances in the science of radio receiving and broadcasting have been due to the work of amateurs. The most that any of the electrical wizards of the country have done along this line was to take the innovations introduced by amateurs and design them for general production and use. The officers of the Radion club are Brad Hutson, president; Clark Shabino, vice-president; R. L. Shoe- maker, secretary and W. J. O'Connell, treasurer. HARD TO REPAIR The chief stock in trade of most of us is the body that we carry around. What makes it different from a stock of merchandise is that new parts are not for sale and it is mighty hard to repair the old ones when damaged. Mrs. A. D. Hannah of 417 Abbotts- ford road entertained a small group of her intimate friends at luncheon at her home Wednesday. THE FP \HE lonesome little boy who is feeling sad be- cause "all the other fellers have a radio set" has the sympathy of Mr. Elec- tro-serve.
