France, Sept. 18-The Germans
employed number of new type
airplanes Of huge size last night
in bombing the St. Quentin sec

were capable of seating six men.
The most astounding thing about
them was that they carried bombs

The Stimulation of Registration.

A report from Pennsylvania indi-
Gates that registration is progressing
we'll in thatsState. Just now the
census is being used to secure women
for land and army units.
In addition, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, South Carolina, Oregon, Ar
kansas and Alabama have reported
progress in taking census of the wo-
man power OF their States. Michigan
secured special training for co-eds at
Ann Arbor so that they might act as
registrars in their home towns during
the spring vacation. Pennsylvania
has the credit of placing 1927 volun-
teer and paid workers in Government
service whose names were token from
registration cards. Illinois comes sec
ond, with 754, registered volunteers
that were placed at work. New
Hampshire used their registration
cards in an attempt to enroll 10000
women to supplement men now en-
ployed in factories.

What Can l Do About It?

He is just as tall as the Government
table says he ought to be-33 "a
inches. He doesn't weigh but "a
pounds, though, and the table says
he ought to be 3 pounds and z
ounces heavier. What can l do about
it,"
This is the sort Of question which
mothers are asking Of the busy wo-
men who are weighing and measur-
ing the children as a part of the
nation wide test of the welfare OF
American children. The success of
the test as an aid in saving the lives
of 100000 children under five dur
ing Children's Year will be deter
mined by the way mothers respond
to the challenge in this question
my child is under weight; what can
do about it?
If young child'S weight is as
much as 2 pounds below the average
for his height this should be a warn
ing to his parents that the child's
nutrition is not normal, according to
the Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor. If the weight
falls markedly below the average the
Children's Bureau suggests that the
child be examined by a physician to
see whether some fault in hygiene or
diet or some defect or sickness is
causing the malnutrition.
