CHILD WELFARE CAM
PAIGN FOR JULY
Help by Having Your Child
Weighed and Measured.

The children's Bureau of the United
States Department of Labor and Child
Welfare Department of the Woman s
Committee of the Council of National
Defense are therefore calling upon the
people of the United States to heed the
experience of Europe and to make the
second year of the war in fact as well
as in name, "children's year" thro, OH
out the country.
Weight and height are rough index
of the health of growing children.
When these are found to be seriously
below the average, whether in Individ-
ual cases or in certain sections of the
community, the test should be fol-
lowed by intensive care.
Everyone can help not only mothers
and fathers, teachers, physians, infant
welfare nurses and other social workers
who have TO do with children, but men
and women experienced in organization
and young people with leisure and good
will; in fact all who want to do their bit
IN "children's year" will find some way
to serve their local committees.
Program for Child Welfare Cam
paign for July: Each district chairman
of committee will arrange the day best
suited to her locality during the month
of July.
In Oakland Wednesday and Saturday
in the second week of July, 10th and
18th, hours from 10 a. m. to p. m.
Parents interested are requested to
send children under school age. to the
Oakland grammar school to be entered
in the test.

GIVE THE BABY A CHANCE.

There are mothers who foolishly as
sumo that Uncle Sam has some sinister
and selfish motive in instituting baby
weighing and measuring campaign.
Some of them are so Uniformed as to
believe that babies are being registered
for the wars of the future when-bless
his kind old eart!-Uncle Sam has had
nothing else in mind but the welfare of
the mothers and babies. He believes
that the best way to find out whether a
baby is as well as he ought to be is to
weigh and measure him, for, if a baby
is very far below the standard of weight
and size for his age, there is something
the matter with that baby.
The Children's Bureau is tabulating
the weighing and measuring cards so
that it can obtain survey of the ma.
tons baby health and can therefore in
struct the mothers of the United States
more effectively and intelligently in the
care they should give their babies.
No mother of child under six should
neglect this opportunity to do herself
and the little one favor, but should

Request of The Surgeon General,

Realizing that there are many thous-
ands of women in this country who.
stimulated by patriotic motives, are
earnestly DESTROYS of an opportunity to
serve IN this emergency, | desire to
point out that one of the highest types
of service is in assisting in the care of
the sick and the wounded
The way is now open for such SER
vice. An Army School of Nursing.
under the direction of the Army Medical
Department, has been created. and
branch training schools will be estab-
lished in many of the military hospitals
in the United States. 1t Is proposed to
admit young women between the ages
of Il and 80 years who have advantage
of high scbool education or its equity
alent. The training will be similar to
that given in the best hospital training
schools. This not only offers an excel
lent training, but also the opportunity
OF service which Is so earnestly sought
by the women of the country.
Members of the Woman's Committee.
Council of National Defense, can rem.
der valuable assistance by using their
influence IN enrolling as many as pos
sible for this line of work. No tvpe of
service is of more Importance at this
time. The need is urgent.

The MONTHLY SUGAR RATION A
NECESSITY.

A good many housekeepers may feel
amazed in contemplating the monthly
allowance of sugar but upon reflection
every person sincerely interested in the
welfare of the country and sensible of
what is good for themselves as well as
their ueighbors will cheerfully COOPER
ate with the food administration in this
as in other things. 1t is better to cur
tail IN the consumption of sugar now
than it would be to do without any later
on. This is what will happen if the
people either voluntarily or from COM
puision do not save in the use of this
commodity now. This is entirely apart
from the fact that if the civilians at
home do not use less sugar there will be
less for the fighting men. And where
is the American worthy of the name
who will murmur against doing without
a little sugar in order that a soldier at
the battle front may be supplied?
An editorial writer IN the Baltimore
Sun recently discussed the sugar con-
servation order in the following optim-
istlc and very logical statement:
I'VE believe there are very few per-
sons who will not follow MIR. Hoover
cheerfully to the last ditch of conser-
walton, and who will not accept without
murmuring the short allowance of sugar
which went into effect on Monday.
Three pounds per month for each per-
son is forty-eight ounces per capita. or
twelve ounces week, and less than
two ounces day. There is not much
sweetening in that, and if we use more
than our allowance on any one day, it
means sugarless day later. This does
not include sugar to be used by house.
keeping in canning or preserving. as
we understand it, but sugar for these
purposes cannot be sold, except where
the dealer is sure that it will be honest
" applied to those objects.
The signed pledges which are to be
asked from purchasers are probably de-
signed more to enable the Food Ad.
ministration to keep demonstrations
dealers up to the mark than to keep
tab on consumers. Such pledges would,
unless they had a legal consequence,
exert little moral influence on some
people. Persons dishonorable enough
to violate their words would not hest
tate to violate their written pledges, if
they thought they would not have to
suffer for it; the written pledge, how.
ever, will have the effect of creating a
certain amount Of fear in the hearts of

would-be hoarders, and will tend to
bring home to the honorable a keener
sense of former obligation.
Whether the candy and the ice cream
makers should not be reduced to a still
lower allowance, or put out of business
altogether. is a question that will
inevitably be raised by those who are
not connected with those industries,
and who are not particularly fond of
candy and ice cream. 1t resolves itself,
in the last ANALYSIS, to a question of
essentials to what would be to the
greatest good of the greatest number.
In general. candy and ice cream are
luxuries and do not form a part of the
daily menu of the vast majority. And
many simple desserts, such as bread
and rice puddings, which the thrifty
housekeeper often compounds from left
overs, would be tasteless and unpalata-
bic without sugar. On the other hand,
there is. no doubt that the household
consumption of sugar has become large
ly matter of habit rather than of
necessity, and that we can educate our
selves to do with much less of it with
out injury.
Anyhow, that's what we've got to
do, and We'll make it all the easier for
ourselves by making believe that we
enjoy it. If we can't get sugar, we
can supply a sweet temper that will
largely neutralize the bitter in our daily
bill of fare.

THE LATEST iNFAMY.

The Llandovery Castle, steamlng on
her course at IA knots, showed the usual
navigation and regulation hospital ship
lights. Under the overcast sky she was
plain to see and could not be mistaken
for anything but what she was-a ship
immune by every law of war and peace
from molestation-B British Admiralty
statement.
All lights were burning when the
Llandovery Castle was torpedoed with
out warning. These included huge
electric cross over the bridge and white
and green lights on either side. The
red crosses on the side of the vessel
were also illuminated Associated Press
statement.
But the commander of the German
submarine claimed that the Llandoyery
Castle carried eight American flight
officers; and when her commander swore
on his honor that no officers other than
those of the Canadian Medical Corps
were on board, the German claimed
that the ship carried ammunition. All
this parley took place, by the way, af-
ter the ship had been sunk. The Ger
man fired his torpedo first and argued
afterward.
The last news al out the Comfort, a
hospital ship which our own Govern
ment proposed to send across without
CONVOY in order to test the good faith
save the mark of the German Govern
ment, was, If published reports be true,
that no crew would agree to man her.
In view of this incident, can anyone
blame them? Daniel among the lions
