BABY WEEK PLANS.
What the Various States Are Doing
Along That Line.

Washington ID. c., March 20.-Nebras =
ka is planning the earliest baby weeks
Of 1877, according to adyices received by
the children's bureau. California and
Massachusetts and a few communities
in Pennsylvania, and doubtless others
who have not reported on their plans,
will also hold baby weeks in advance of
the general date. But in most of the
SOP communities from which the chill
drens bureau has already heard, baby
week will be celebrated the first week
in May
In Nebraska and few other states,
the stated baby week committees are sue
costing that local campa igns be held dur
ing different weeks in different districts
so that circuits may be arranged for
speakers and exhibit material. Where
such plan is carried out, the state cele-
bration viii probably last after the 9th
Of May
Statewide plans for baby week are al
ready under way in at least "a states
representing every section of the coun.
try. Several state committees have Sc

NEW BUILDING NEEDED.
For State School for Feeble Minded Chill,
dren at Brandon

The report to the Vermont Senate by
the commission to investigate the schoo
for feeble minded children at Brandon il
as follows:
ITO the Honorable Senate: Under the
provision of joint resolution IA the House
and Senate committees on state institu-
tions visited the school at Brandon Feb.
ruary 8.
"In regard to the property itself the
barns and farm buildings are ample and
probably more than necessary, but with
future development of the school will
prove a valuable asset. The dwelling
house which accommodates all inmates
of the school now numbering 45 is abso-
lutely inadequate but may serve until
more suitable buildings can be provided.
"The development of this school must
be in a nature OF an evolution and will
require some years to construct and or
ganize il in a substantial and permanent
way; we advise, therefore, not TO under
take too much, but to construct well,
according to a well defined plan.
I'VE therefore would recommend that
appropriation be made for another build
ing TO be constructed during the next
two years which would constitute sec
ond domicile unit to accommodate about
20 children; with two buildings of this
capacity the boys and girls could be
more securely segregated and future con.
struction could be easily undertaken as
occasion may require.
1--WE wish to call your attention to
the advissbility, even the necessity of
any infrmary or a hospital. There
should be properly equipped depart
ment to care for the ordinary ills and
accidents of the inmates and besides, in
the event Of an outbreak of contagious
disease there should be provided suitable
for isolation and care OF
such cases.
There should be employed a farmer
at a definite salary to take charge of the
agricultural affairs of the institution.
The dairy should be much enlarged and
improved and a systematic course pur

ductiye and profitable to the largest |
degree but also to make it an example |

women realize that dependency, togeth-

REPRESENTATIVE SOWERBY OF JUNEAU
 HERE ON TRIP

Representative Ike" Sowerby, who was elected at the special election held recently to elect a Representa- tive to succeed John G. Held, who died quite suddenly, was an arrival in the city from Juneau, this morning on the City of Seattle.
 Mir Sowerby represents the New York National Life Insurance Comp any, and he says he never came south to Ketchikan or Wrangell but what he did a little business. He claims that he is an example of the old proverb that the race is not always to the swift" but after an interview with him this morning the reporter is in clined to disbelieve him. After some discussion, MT. Sowerby admitted, that he would rather live in Ketchikan than Juneau any day in the year, if he could help it, but seeing that he could not, he liked to come down out of the frozen north and get warmed up in the sunshine of the Banana Belt as often as he could.

 Occasion.

Assistant District Attorney HOlzhei- mer. started something the other even ing when he talked 10 the firemen at their meeting. Mfr Holzheimer is said 10 be nothing if not patriotic and as the firemen's meeting was to be made the occasion of taking up the Fourth Of July celebration. he was there. Since that evening, many have been agitating Q patriotic meeting for next Wednesday evening. At that time Judge Jennings will address the meeting having been requested to do so and as the Judge is known as a fluent speaker. the people may well expect to hear some interesting facts about preparedness and the Red Cross Of which the judge is an ardent supporter.
 It has been arranged for Senator Heckman to preside with Mayor Hen eghan Besides the principal speak er. Judge Jennings, NIT. Holzheimer and others may address the meeting. The latter who is very enthused over the prospect Of having patriotic ral- ly is trying to arrange for the band and other attractions for the evening.
 In connection with the proposed meeting. it will be remembered that President Wilson has designated the week ending June p. as the Red Cross week during which every community in the land has been asked to devote i all the energy possible to that GRAND organization, and as Ketchikan is far in the lead of any other town in Alas la, it is thought that a little added ef- fort on our part will keep us in the lead. incidentally inspire little pat, riotism for the coming celebration of the Glorious Fourth Of July.

 Dear Sir
 Enclosed please find copy of resolu. tion adopted by the Executive Con- mittee of the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commer- cial Club, requesting your favorable consideration of a graduated zone rate for parcel post between points within the territory of Alaska.
 Under present postal regulations, parcel post between any two points in Alaska and from any point in the Un- ted States to any point in Alaska is rlassed as being in the eighth zone The unfairness of this regulation to the Alaska merchant and Alaska com- munities is illustrated by the fact that 1t costs as much to send parcel from Anchorage to Matanuska, Alaska, only 32 miles distant, as it does from Chi cago or New York City to Matanuska. This condition tends to curtail the de- velopment of local trade and is hold. ing back the development and up- building of Alaska communities.
 We respectfully request your fav- orable consideration of the request of the Alaskans that the rate for parcel post between points in Alaska be fix ed on the same basis of graduated zone rates, fixed by distance, as ap. plies within the United States believ. ing that such regulations are essen tial to the development of tho Alas. ka communities.
 Respectfully submitted,
 ALASKA BUREAU,
 Manager.
