Mrs Marshall Is as much of hu

and medical examina ton Of children.
To prevent blindness at birth
To regulate sale Of cocaine and
other drugs.
To provide free treatment for n.y.

To improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
To prevent traffic in white slaves
To permit night schools
To require medical supplies as part
of train equipment
Governor Marshall has also played
an active part in providing for protec-
ton of labor. as Is exampled by the
following acts:
To create bureau of inspection
for workshops. factories. mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen-
cies.
To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines
To require efficient headlights on
engines
To require standard cabooses-
To provide weekly wage, etc.
