This plan of awarding the certificates
was to have been discussed at con-
ference of prominent local civic and
social leaders this afternoon with the
home economics committee of the fed
Grafton, but owing to the inclement
weather and the fact that several of
the women are ill. the meeting has been

in telephone conferences and was an
nounced today by Mrs. ]. Edison Briggs

committee, and who has been in
charge of this contest started by The

Medical Inspections Urged.

The report strongly urges annual
medical inspection of every school
child.
1T should be within the province of
the state-in this instance the District
of Columbia-to see that every child
who enters school is physically normal.
SO far as possible for child of its age
says the report.
1T should be within the province of
the state to see that the subnormal
child receives proper physical treat
ment early in its career. This does not
mean that either the school or health
authorities should work independently
of the home. The primary RESPONSE
bility is with the parents. 1t is, how
ever, within the province of the state
to say, after rigid tests, whether the
child when 1t first appears at school is
In proper physical condition to make
the most of it's opportunities for mental

Dominion Case

Washington, March l6.-Louis ID. Bran

company, according TO Charles S. Smith
president of the Old Dominion company
who testified before the Senate inyesti.
eating committee yesterday. He added
that the directors ,of the company be,
lieved they got their moneys worth.
Smiths testimony was an unqualified
contradiction of that offered Tuesday by
William +. Fitzgerald, who, Smith said
was engaged in an attempt to wreck the
concern and throw it into the hands of a
receiver. The engineers report, which
Tuesday Fitzgerald charged Brandeis
with having concealed, was considered of
no value by the directors, according to
Smith, and it had been ordered sup
pressed by them.
Had Fitzgerald's campaign TO prevent
the merger of the Old Dominion and the
United Globe concerns been successful,
Smith said, many stockholders would
have lost heavily. As it was the merger
was completed and has proved "a most
profitable enterprise"
