information Is of even more importance
to trade, for when conditions are UNI

transportation companies must move with
a degree Of caution not necessary under
encoura ging conditions. It Is to protect
the interests Of all that Congress pro-
vided for the issuance Of these reports.
The data upon which the reports are
based are obtained through a special
field service, corps Of state statistical
agents and a large body Of voluntary
correspondents in the following four
classes: County correspondents. township
correspondents. individual farmers and
cotton correspondents. The special field
service includes seventeen travelling
agents, who each report for separate
group of states. There are forty-five
reports for his own state. These statistf-
cal agents maintain q corps of cores
pondents in the different counties, who
make monthly reports directly to him, in

HOUSE INSURGENTS
URGE RULES CHANGE
Working Hard to Save
Method of Discharging
Committees.

Three House acknowledgements
tives Norris Of Nebraska, Martin of
South Dakota, and Cooper of Wiscon-
sin-have urged upon the House Com
mittee on Rules the adoption of the
amendment to therules proposed by Mr..
Norris in order to perfect the motion to
discharge committees rule which has
caused trouble for two successive sus-
pension days.
The rule is not working simply be-
cause Representative Mann has, at the
head of the motion to discharge COM
mittees calendar, his bill to revise the
postal laws. This is so lengthy that it
will require several suspension days TO
even read 1t. Consequently, when any
other member wants to get his bill out
of committee, Mr.. Mann can demand
the reading of his bill. and blocks
everything.
The three insurgents want the rule
changed, as provided for in the Norris
amendment, so that a vote may be
taken on a motion to discharge a COM
mittee just as soon as the title of d
bill is read. Furthermore, the insur-
gents told the committee, no member
should have the privilege of moving
to discharge a committee more than
once each session.

CAhPAIG PLANNED
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH.
Monday Evening Club to
Hear Address by Chi
cago Official.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Monday Evening Club will
be held next Monday afternoon, at which
time it is expected plans will be made
fer a public health campaign by meth
DDS described before the club at it's
January meeting last evening by DR..
w. A Evans, health commissioner OF
Chicago.
The last session of the club was the
most successful and enthusiastic in
it's history, 300 members and guests
being present in the assembly room of
the Y. NJ c. A. 70 hear DR.. Evans tell
how the health department, school
board, churches, labor organizations,
and women's clubs of Chicago have CO.
operated to spread knowledge of health
among 100000 people.
Urges Dental Inspection.
DIR Evans urged thorough medical
and dental INSPECTION of school chill
dren. and advocated the employment
of school nurses, to treat children IN
school and to go with them to their
homes to teach their parents how to
care for them.
Open air schools were described in de-
tail and declared ito be essential TO
children who are sicllly, or sub-norrnal.
The "cold-air school room," DR.. Evans
said is a desirable method of keeping
many children well.
..Ev making the monkeys in Lincoln
Park live out of doors all the year
around" declared DR.. Evans. I'VE have
reduced the monkey death rate there
from 100 per cent to nothing.
The same thing could be done with
people if they could be controlled abso-
lutely as monkeys can. Given the power
tn make every person observe health
laws as the monkeys in Lincoln Park
are forced TO observe them, / would
g,Iarautee to stamp tuberculosis out OF
the United States in ten years.
For Street Car Ventilation.
.,r Evans urged the ventilation of
street cars as of the greatest import
ance to the health Of community lie
said:
The street car is a grave menace TO
the health of every person who rldes III
it if it isn't properly ventilated, Tor the
reason that the space within II IS 50
small every passenger breathes his own,
exhaled breath over and over again anu
also breatlfes the breath of others near
him. The only remedy is to keep thu
air within the car changing rapidly
The Monday Evening Club is especially
interested in the pending bills providing
for dental inspection and school nurses,
and will probably make Dr. evans az
dress and the interest aroused by II
among members and others the basis
of an effort to induce Congress to act
faVorably on these measures.

Serves Notice Of Action in
Morocco
WILL RE-ESTABLISH ORDER
Throughout Country-Protection for
Foreigners In Capitalize Sow
ereignity of the Sultan is
To Be Upheld.

Paris, April 2s.--France yesterday no
titled the signatories to the Algeciras
conference agreement that prompt and
energetic Intervention in Morocco by
France had become necessary to protect
foreigners at Fee, re-cstablish order
throughout the country and safeguard
the sovereignty of the sultan.
The action taken by France, however
necessary il may be, is likely to cause
complications IN Europe. The chaotic
state Of affairs in Morocco to-day must
be laid at the door of Germany, which
in 1908 prevented France from paeify-
ing the country, forcing upon the French
government the foolish proposition OF at
tempting reform by a diplomatic con-
ference. During the past fortnight,
when conditions have constantly been
growing worse, there has been a eharae-
teristicaIly hostile note in the German
press with regard to French action on
behalf OF the Europeans at Fec. Wheth-
or the press forecasts an official move
along similar lines cannot be foretold al
this time. The situation, therefore, Is
one Of extreme delicacy.
