Japan Likes Fat Men,

In this country when & man of av' craze height takes on girth until his weight runs up to 300 pounds or so, his friends have grave doubts about his condition and advise him to diet in order to bring back a slim elegance of figure, notes a writer. In Japan the contrary is true. If a man can carry 300 pounds of flesh with any agility he is of the material from which heroes are manufactured, and if he can work up to the 400 or 476-pound notch. and becomes wrestler. he is in the rum nlng for the championship.
 Wrestling is to the Japanese what boxing is to us, and more. The pOpu- lace goes crazy over 1t, and the mag mates of the big game handle great sums in the way of gate receipts.

Mothers of Connecticut have been found in complete accord with the plans of the Child Welfare campaign which has been given prominence the past few weeks through weighing and measuring tests of babies in many communities. Miss Margaret Stack, R. N., state director of the Child Vel fare Committee, identified with the Committee on WOman's Activities of the Connecticut State Council of De- fense, estimates in communities where tests have been made that over 90 per cent. of the babies have received the tests.
 Those identified with the movement to conserve child life the second year of the war have found mothers anx- iOus to cooperate because the work iG in the best interests of their children. Rich and poor, white and cOlOred moth CTS of healthy as we'll as sickly chill dren and women of all nationalities have brought their babies to the weigh ing and measuring stations. The tests as conducted by doctors and nurses serving in a voluntary capacity have given parents information regarding the condition of their children.
 In the cases of those found to be defective or i'll nourished efforts will be made to bring those children back to robust health. The fundamental purpose of the campaign is to reduce by One-third the number of deaths among children under five years of age. It Is expected to accomplish this task by the proper care and treatment of children who might die of preVenta- ble disease if neglected.
 About f1fty-f1ve towns in Connecticut have finished or are in process of f1n- ishing their weighing and measuring campaign. Communities are discover ing that in spite of plenty of fresh air and good milk and other model com munity conditions their children suffer from various physical deficiencies.
 Many children need their adenoids or tonsils removed. Then there are many cases of sQuinting children who need glasses. Other children suffer from poor or faulty feeding. A sum- mary of the defective children found in the campaign will be one of the re- suits of the statewide effort. Although not compulsory, the tests so nearly cov- cred the infant population that the Child Welfare Committee Is collecting data that is almost complete.
 As a part of the fOllOw-up campaign, it will be the obj of the commit tee to awaken public sentiment to the need of having public health nurse in every community. The Child Welfare Committee of the state will learn when the campaign is over the number of children requiring care in every town and local committees will make month ly reports on the progress of the child welfare work. Health conferences for mothers will be natural OutgrOwth of the movement.
 Better health for the children of pre-school age and actual saving of lives are the great benefits expected as a result of the national and state wide effort to conserve child life. Towns which have not undertaken the weighing and measuring tests have only until August or soon thereafter because the Child Welfare Bureau will not accept records after that time.

James Brown of Byried, N. NJ, a
veteran public school teacher, who re-
ceived diploma as graduate of the
high school department of the New
Mexico Normal university recently at
the age of sixty-two, is probably one
of the Oldest men who ever received a
high school diploma in this country.
With him in the graduating class
was a woman teacher who graduated
from high school at the age of fifty
i've. Both are experienced teachers and
took the high school course in order
to improve their standing in the state
school system, the rapidly advancing
standards of which require a high
school diploma before first-grade
teachers certificate will issue.
