WEIGH YOUR CHILD.

The instructions for carrying out
the weighing and measuring test OF
American children under five years OF
age were sent today by the Child We'll

fense to its state and local child well

BILE for the test in each community.
The record cards will follow after
word is received OF the exact number
required by each committee.
This test Is the first feature OF child
ren's year which began on April 6.
The plans for Children's Year prepar-
cd by the children's bureau OF the u.
S. department OF labor include activi-
ties designed 10 protect all children
from the special dangers OF war time
and to save the lives OF 100000 child
rem before April 6, 1919.
Many OF the physical defects which
caused the rejection OF one-third OF
the men coming up for examination in
the first draft are believed to date from
some slight trouble neglected in early
childhood And the children's bureau
emphasizes the fact that higher
standard OF physical fitness In the ris-
ing generation can be assured only by
greater attention to the physical con-
dition OF children.
According TO bureau. height and
weight and their relation TO each 9TH

health and development For in

low the average weight for his height
or is strikingly. small for his age, 1t In
dicates that expert advice about diet
and daily care is needed. Insofar as
the test makes IL plain to parents that
the physical condition Of their child
rem needs special attention, and inso-
far as IL leads to community provision
for public health nurses and consul
tation centers for babies and young
children, 10 a safeguarding OF the milk
supply, and TO other measures for the
protection OF children, II will aid In
conserving their health and in reach

and weights for boys and girls at
birth, at every month OF age from the
9th 20 the 4Sth and at every year from
the 9Th 20 tho 10Th 0ne-half OF the

The other half OF the card provides
also for recording the height and

INDICTS FUEL MANAGER.
Correspondent Addresses Open Let
ter to John L. Weaver.

The following open letter has been
addressed to John l.. Weaver, District
Fuel Administrator, by c. A. Briggs,
l52l Oak street northwest.
l have no doubt but that when you
accepted the position of fuel adminis-
traitor for the District of Columbia.
that you were inspired with motives
of the most unselfish nature. and
hoped by your efforts to be a help to
Your fellow citizens, and those who
would become dependent upon you for
an adjustment of the coal distribution,
No doubt you also felt yourself capa-
Bile for the task and looked forward
to an efficient and satisfactory ad-
ministration from which you could
retire with credit to yourself and with
the feeling of satisfaction that is the
share of one who has done his work
and done It well.
For our part, many of us living
here in the District sensed in many
ways the huge demands thar were
impending for coal and naturally un-
derstood that the successful treatment
of the subject was one of real diff
ficulty. With the establishment of the
Fuel Administration we looked for
ward to a competent, efficient, clear
cut, and above-board handling of the
problem: and for our part stood ready
to cooperate to the fullest extent re-
quired. When, therefore, appeals were
made in the newspapers not to hoard
coal as it would increase the difficult
ties of handling the situation, the re-
quest was so logical that it was COM
piled with as an unquestionable
obligation on our part. We have also
been alert for suggestions as to what
we might do to use fuel with economy,
but up to the present time little or
nothing has come to our attention
from the Fuel Administration. except
what was being done already as a
matter of necessary economy
My family includes three small chill
dren, whose health has been placed In
serious jeopardy through my attempt
to cooperate with your administra-
tion. My confidence in you has only
betrayed me to : nxiety and humilia-
ton. Were 1t for myself alone 1
could face the matter with unconcern,
as recourse could be had to several
expedients which it is not necessary
to mention here. However, under the
present circumstances the need for ef-
fcctive action has been so pressing
that I must set myself to insure a
remedy no matter what unpleasant
truths may be revealed nor how dis
agreeable the task.
1t would seem unnecessary and
puerile, had not my recent experience
teen to the contrary, to suggest that
anything short of actually furnishing
coal needed, no matter how much else
be involved, is of no practical interest
or importance to us must insist
therefore. that excuses and reasons
for not giving coal no matter how real
or imagined they may be, OF how in

Enter, George Harvey.

At last we are to have War Weekly-and it is
to be edited in Washington by George Harvey, the
distinguished gentleman who nominated Woodrow VIII
for the Presidency long before anybody else
thought of doing so.
Mr.. Harveys return to the weekly field will be well
coined. When he retired from Harpers Weekly and
gave his entire attention the North American Re-
view even Marse Henri, the youngest old editor in
captivity found it wearisome to wait whole month
without his Harveyized food. So did many Others and
now that we are to have him once a week as
delighted his latest discovery-a named
Roosenfelt, is it Roosevelt?
Did you ever have that creepy feeling that danger
was impending? We have it right We fear that
if Arthur Brisbane and George Harvey should
meet even across patriotic trenches that shrapnel will
fly, and when it's all over will be singing
Good Night! Nursep

chills, one, less will not hurt you But hsten

came from all parts of the country
and from Americans in all walks of
life. A considerable number Of ap-
plicants gave evidence of education.
and some stated they were college
graduates. All counted it an honor
to serve their country in its CONNER
cial fleet.
Our plan for preparing these men
for service at sea is based on the
best experience of our own and other
maritime nations. 1t calls for the
use of a squadron of training ships
to take men to sea for intensive drill
ing in the duties of the mercantile
mariner.
One ship already is In commission.
another Is being prepared for service,
and steps are being taken to secure a
third, for service in this squadron.
which will have a home station at
Boston. 1t is planned to extend this
training service, il circumstances per-
nit, to the Gulf and the Pacific
coast. with a training ship to be
based on a port in each of these sec
tions
1t is expected that six weeks Of in
tensive drill at sea will fit a man of
ordinary intelligence for duties as sea-
man, and a month for those of fire
man. These are the two arms of the
service in which there is the greatest
need of capable men.
None but citizens may enter the
Shipping Boards training service. and
the enthusiasm with which the actual
work of training is being carried out
seems to me to assure alI-American
crews for our new ships. such as have
so long been the dream of all true

To the Editor of The Herald: Pub
lie opinion is as shifting as the sands,
and public favor is the Quicksands.
Public opinion makes a man popular
and popularity leads to the quick
sands-unless, as Champ Clark says,
you are there" Interpreted this
means that you can escape il you
see them first
A year ago a newspaper cabal and
a comic weekly pilloried Mr.. Daniels
as the great national misfit. He was
"a weakling."r "bungler," the navy
was a Joke" and those in it were
inefficient" Then came the war,
and the country found its navy ready
and fit-and in splendid condition
Then they began to say, I'VE had
Daniels sized up wrong'-and the
coward few gave credit to others
though through all Daniels had been
the goat.
Then along came Mr.. Baker. For a
time he was a whirlwind. He welded
more power than any other man save
the President. He was a doer of
things and things were done. Then
the Grand Army of the Disappointed
began TO get in its work and Baker.
like Daniels, became a "weaklinE,"
"bungler" and the army was n

Mr.. Baker is there" He is a re-
sourceful fellow, who has been
through the mill and he will land
on top, just as sure as the Stars and
Stripes will float in Berlin. When

The Reply to Junkertum.

Lloyd George has not spoken a moment too
soon; some British Laborites say he is six months
late
But waving this moot question of time, there
will be unanimous agreement that his address of
yesterday to the British Trade Union Council is a
master-stroke of policy 1t is the British counter
part Of the Presidents noble message to Con-
gress.
1t is a dry-point etching Of the only kind of
peace that civilization will accept. 1t is state
ment of war aims that scourges all the Tories
the imperiaIists, the militarists from the temple
OF the Western nations.
1t tells the German people that even their
loathed Albion does not seek their fall ruin
1t tells Russia, the present shambng, senti-
mental humanists who speak for Russia, that self
seeking aggression the part of Britain has no
more to do with the failure to attain general
peace in this posture of the war than the law of
Archimedes
What will be the reaction of the Germans to
"doped' by the mitarists? Or are they willing
to listen to genuine peace proffer-one which
embodies much better bargain than they will be
able to command year from now?
As to the Russians, this statement of terms
which parallels almost literally their own formula
of mo annexations or indemnities" upon
reparation "for manifest wrongs done" and upon
the sovereign principle that no people shall be
forced to live under government under which
they do not wish to liye"-should evoke response
from Petrograd that will thrill the world

in line in the true cause.
