The safpRuarding of the health of automobile tourists, both on the roads and In the camps, has become an important public healtli problem.

The discovery was made just as is not improvished. but is the outcome of ills deliberate policy, upon which he has been working consistently through the meetings at Cannes and Locarno and through the Kellogg pact. Only non-settlement of outstanding problems from the war caused M. Hrland to postpone the summoning of the conference after the Pan-Ameri- can conference last fall. M.

These propos- als follow the success of the great cannery which has already been built at Toten and which, however, only handles surplus apples. The aim of the farm women of Nor- way is to stand side by side with the farmers' associations in their effort to raise the peasantry economictlly and culturally. One of the great purposes of the association under the leadership of Mrs. Olga Bjoner, Is to secure a bet- ter school system and to get better representation of women on the school hoards. It also seeks to make education more suited to present-day requirements and to st strengthen the religious teaching In schools. Their aim is also to elevate family lite, 10 enlighten the people as to the evils of alcohol and to work for a better understanding between neigh- boring districts and between classes.

In a tew States where the State agency Is doing the work, part or all of the authority has been transferred to district or local ogeniies or groups. Unfort- unately, there are a tew sections In whio'i the responsibility for the work has not been positively assumed by any particular department or group.
