Takes Up Work OF Conser-

WASHINGTON, April l6-Weigh
ing and measuring all American chill
dren under five years of age was the
first feature of Children's Year which
was opened April 6 under the drec-
tion of The Children's Bureau of the
United States Department OF Labor.
This will be the first of a year of ac-
tivities designed to protect children
from the special dangers of war time
and save the lives of 100000 little
children before April 6. 1919.
Instructions for carrying out the
weighing and measuring test are now
in the hands of local child welfare
chairmen who will be responsible for
the test in each community. Record
cards have been prepared by the De-
partment of Labor and will be furn
ished for each child. These cards are
in the form of a return postal card.
On one end of the card data concern
ing the child will be recorded and re-
tanned by parents while the other por-

of the Department of Labor The re.
turn card will be franked as official
government business and no postage
will be required.
Many of the physical defects which
caused the rejection of Onc-third of the

ment, the Bureau says. When child
is strikingly below the average weight
4 for its height or is small for it's age,
it indicates that expert advice about
diet and daily care is needed
Insofar as the test makes it plain to
parents that the physical condition OF
their children needs attention, and
insofar as ii leads to community pro
vision for public health nurses and
consultation centers for children, to
a safeguarding of the milk supply
and other measures for the prOtec
tion of children. this test is expected
TO aid in conserving their health and
reaching the goal OF 100000 lives say
ed during the Children's Year.
The record card gives a table oI
average heights and weights for boys
and girls at birth. at every month OI
age from the sixth to the forty-eighth
and at every year from the fifth to the
sixteenth. Parents wishing to enter
their children in the national test
