But the oranges were sold by young and

The House Of Representatives is being
combed over carefully for the selection of
a chairman and twenty-one members OF
committee on public health, which will be
formed at this session of Congress. unless
Unforeseen opposition is placed in the way
Of the resolution to form such commit

formation of this new and large commit
tee and has prepared the necessary reso-
luton. Representative Foster of Illinois
also has before the rules committee
resolution to the same effect. except that
his resolution calls for fifteen members.
The appointment of a House commit
tee on public health has been agitated for
some time. and coincident with these &C
tivities the American Medical Associa-
ton has been urging a department of
health as a much-needed part in the ma
tionai government. The association
along with many other organizations and
private individuals believes that the
President should have a public health
officer at his cabinet table. Whether or
not there should be such a department
would be a question OF legislation TO be
discussed in the committee on health
which will be formed % the House.
