SHORT SCHOOL DAYS
AN ECONOMIC WASTE

Chicago, March 10.-Longer school
days with sessions throughout the
summer months are urged in an article
in the current number Of the School
Review issued today at the University
Of Chicago. .,..l
Moral and scholastic delinquency
would be prevented and economic
waste in school management would
be eliminated under such plan, &C.
cording to the article.
"City children are becoming more
and more helpless as the result of the
idleness imposed upon them by city
life," says the article. ''The boys, at
least, are exposed through their long
evenings and holidays to the vicious
influence of the street.
"If private corporation had chain
of plants valued at s2,000,QQ0,00O &C.
cupied in production but 1000 hours,
6 hours a day for approximately 166
days, the manager of that corporation
would estimate his annual loss to be in
the neighborhood Of $90,000,000."
The article urges the employment of
vocational teachers the year around.

Little Talks On BabD0l0gy
BY ANNA sTEEsE RICHARDSON


they do not register the birth of babies
at all and the legislature does not an.
propriate dollar to stamp out tuber.
culosis which threatens the lives of it's
babies.
Even physicians have not placed
great Importance on the study of
babies. They have had their hands
full doctoring grown-ups, who might
have been healthy adults if properly
started in life. g.,
No, after ushering the child into the
world and pronoun cling it sound, the
average physician has turned the baby
over to the parents, and under their
care it has remained until it developed
some acute malady, when the doctor
reappeared on the scene. The cure Of
the malady, not it's prevention, has
long been the Office of the family ply
sician. They do it, better in China,
where physicians are paid only so long
as the health of the family is good
The world has also proceeded on the
theory that with the birth of the baby
was born in the mother some heaven
sent knowledge Of how to raise the
baby. To be sure, she was taught to
read and write and cook and sew. but
there was no need to teach her how to
raise her baby. By some mysterious
process, God supplied that knowledge.
That He did not is shown by the fac.
that twenty-five per cent of the deaths
in our country are Of children under
one year of age.

IOWA DELEGATION
To AID MEASURE
WILL TRY TO SECURE $500 FROM
CONGRESS FOR JOHN PEPPER
OF OTTUMWA.

! That an effort will be made to get
years salary or $500 for John Pepper
Of Ottumwa, father of Congressman l..
5. Pepper, deceased, is made certain
by the Iowa delegation. Senators and
congressman are behind the movement
! started by Representative Good and
both senators declare that they will
! fight for it in the senate. The rumor
| that Congressman Kirkpatrick was re-
sponsible for killing the appropriation
| in the house is strenuously denied by
Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Sisson, the latter
from Mississippi, who made the point
| OF order in the house when the meas
ure came up. A wire from Mr.. Kirk
patrick received here Monday also
denies the rumor and brands the story
as a lie. The following dispatch from
The Courier's Washington correspond
ent shows the attitude of the Iowa
delegation toward the Pepper appro-
priation:
Washington, d. c., March 10.-The
whole Iowa delegation united today in
an effort to get an appropriation of
$500 for John Pepper of Ottumwa,
father of the late Congressman Pep
pers. Senators Cummins and Kenyon
have informed the senate committee
if such an appropriation is not carried
in the urgent deficiency bill when it
reaches the senate they will fight all
other like appropriations.
Congressman Good Of Cedar Rapids, !:
who proposed the item in the house, !
denied that Congressman Kirkpatrick !
was responsible for its defeat there. |
He said such statement was malic- !
ious SANDER. 1t was stricken out by
Mr.. Sisson of Mississippi, appropria- |
ton economist. The house customar-
lily appropriates years salary for the
closest kin of deceased member and !
so does the senate. Mr.. Sisson made !
his point of order because Mr. Pepper |
was not married. He too denies Mr.. |
Kirkpatrick's connection.
Congressman Good will introduce an !
amendment to the agricultural bill |
providing an appropriation of 100000 .
to fight the Argentina corn geevil. He
says the large importations of Argen-
tina corn endangers the American sup
ply through the introduction of this
germ.

Do you love babies?

Do you love babies?
OF course! Everybody does. So you
will be interested in what comes next
During the past six months, Amerl
can women, leaders in progressive
movements for lettering humanity
have brought to the attention Of theiI
home-making sisters new popular
science of great value in the family
circle. -.
At first it was studied by a few
mothers who found that it could SIM
pity their daily lives and make home
brighter. Then a few physicians who
had specialized on ailments of children
saw its educational possibilities and be
gan to read, and then to write about 1t.
Health Officers and city officials who
were fighting sickness and poverty
next took it up. Now fully half the
women's clubs of the country have in
c1uded the subject in their programs
for 1894, and the gospel is spreading
from coast to coast.
For lack OF more technical term,
we who are interested in the work
have coined word. We call this
science "Babyology." 1t means that
branch of scientific study of man
which deals simply, clearly, directly
and comprehensively with the baby, as
the foundation on which is built ma
tional health, strength, energy, intelli-
gence and morality. 1t involves the
consideration of every phase of babys
life, physical, mental and moral, from
it's food to its play, from it's cleanli-
ness OF body to the sort of love lavish
ed upon it. A more fascinating science
for women has never been evolved.

JONES' REQUEST
TO BE CONSIDERED

Des Moines, March 10.--Depo sitions
secured at their recent visit to the
state penitentiary at Fort Madison and
arguments submitted by attorneys at
the hearing last week in the Earl
Jones case are considered by the mem
bers of the board of control today.
The reports in connection with the
case are voluminous and a great deal
of pressure is being brought to bear
for an early report" said Sam D.
Woods, secretary of the board For
that reason it is probable that the
board, may continue on this case con-
tinually until decision is reported.

Compressed Air to Fight
Sea and Save Coast, Is
Idea of This Engineer
Special to the Evening Star.

special To tile Evening star
TRENTON, Dec. S0.-The novel
proposition of fighting ocean storms
on the New Jersey seacoast with
compressed air as protection
against such damage as was caused
at Seabright, Long Branch, Atlantic
City and other points in the recent
severe storm, is made by Philip
BraSher an engineer. He has in
vented an apparatus which supplies
the force of compressed aid under
meath the waves as they approach
the beach, and he claims that in this
way the damaging force of the waves
may be abated.
Brasher is a former Princeton man,
football warrior and athlete as we'll
as an engineer. He declares that If
his apparatus was installed at places
along the coast where damage Is
done by the action of waves in heavy
storms the damage would be very
much minlmized, If not altogether
prevented. The apparatus consists
of air pumps on the shore, with pipes
running underneath the waves to the
proper distance from shore. He
says that as a storm arises and the
damaging waves begin to start the
pumps and the air pressure exerted
upon the combing waves as they ap-
proach the beach destroys the dam
aging force of the waters.

IN
LICENSE FIGHT
Graduates of Passaic School
Again Try to Be Admitted
to Practice.

| TRENTON, Dec. 30.-There was a
! lively hearing today at the State
| House before the State Board OF
Medical Examiners on the question of
the admission to practice of num-
Der of osteopaths. The hearing in.
volved the contest between two fac
tions of the osteopaths which has
ragged for several years and which
was very marked in 1913 during the
passage of the act in the Legislature
| placing an osteopath in the State
Board of Medical Examiners.
The main question before the board
today was the standing under the act
of 1918 of the New Jersey College of
Osteopathy In Passaic. Some time
ago the State Medical Board refused
TO license a large number of the grad
yates of this school, claiming that
DR.. d. Webb Cranberry, of Orange
the osteopathic member of the board,
had refused to approve their applica-
tion. DIR. Cranberry belongs to the
opposite faction from those who de-
sired to be licensed. and he claimed
that the Passaic school had not the
proper standing under the act to per-
nit it's graduates to be licensed.
Recently the State board rescinded
its action in denying registration 10
these applicants, and then called this
public hearing for the purpose of
proving the standing Of the Passaio
college.
Former Judge Robert Carey, of Jer-
sey City, at the opening of the hear.
ing, wanted DR.. Cranberry excluded
from hearing the testimony because,
Mr. Carey pointed out, Mr.. Gran
berry was practically a litigant in
the case.
Assie1on4 Affornoy- C,aparoj Jos{sb
Stryker, however, thought DR.. Gran
berry should not be called as wit
ness. Mr.. Stryker said the medical
board was present to pass upon the
question of recognizing the New Jer-
sey school.
DIR. r. e. Brandman, of Hoboken,
an osteopath and educated at the
New Jersey College of Osteopathy,
was called as a witness. Mr.. Brand
man said the New Jersey school was
a proper school to attend and he
said the equipment at the college
compared favorably with other insti-
tutions of it's kind.
Mr.. Stryker questioned the witness
as to the teachers at the college, but
Mr.. Brandman admitted he knew
little of the professors, other than
that he thought the teachers were
qualified in every respect. DIR.
stephen Rock, former president of
the New Jersey College of Oste-
opathy, material witness, was de-
tanned from attending the hearing
because of death in his family.
DR.. Fred w. Collins, of Paterson,
another osteopath, who attended the
New Jersey College of Osteopathy,
detailed his experiences at the Pas
sale school,
DR.. George H. Harley, OF Hoboken,
also a former student OF the New Jer-
sey college, testified as to the courses
and general equipment Of the school
DR.. Collins was recalled to the stand
and his diploma exhibited. He re-
ceived the degree of doctor of oste-
opathy
Dr. Collins was not sure whether
any dissecting had been performed at
the college. If it had been done, he
said, 1t was without his knowledge.
The attorney generals S representative
however, brought out the fact that
DR.. Colline had taken every course
given by the school.
