MERRITT PHILIPS TO
REJOIN bis COMPANY
County Roads Engineer Charles NJ.
Phillips Receives Word From His
Son That He is About to Leave
Hospital to Rejoin Company.

County Road Engineer Charles NJ
Phillips, of Hurlock, has received a
letter from his son, c. Merritt Phil
lips, who has been over n France
for sometime, having been one OF the
first Dorchester men to get there,
stating that he is rapidly recovering
from an operation which he under
went in one of the base hospitals,
August 10th, and that he is able to
be up and around, and hopes to soon
rejoin his company.
Mr.. Phillips is of the famous sew
enty-six men who volunteered from
the Marines to fill up one of the
Pennsylvania regiments. The letter
was written September 10th, and fl
nally disposes of the many rumors to
the effect that he had been killed,
captured, etc. Mr.. Phillips states in
his letter that many of his former
comrades have been put out of &C
ton in the fighting, many of them
never to return. His many friends
and those of his parents are much
gratified to learn that he is safe.

No Time Limit For
Weighing And Measuring

Letters and kilograms asking the
Children's Bureau of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor to extend the time
for the weighing and measuring test
have been so urgent that the Bureau
announced today its intention of re-
moving entirely the time limit for re-
ceiving reports of the test How
ever, the Bureau calls attention to
the fact that the sooner these re-
ports are received at the Chicago Of
flee Of the Bureau, at $40 South
Dearborn street, Chicago, the sooner
can the information concerning the
health of American children, as re-
vealed by the reports, be compiled
and given out.
Extensive local use has already
been made of the report cards for
the weighing and measuring test.
The facts they reveal have been used
to stimulate work for child welfare.
In some cities arrangements have
been made to send a public health
nurse at regular intervals to the
home of every baby whom the weigh
ing and measuring test has revealed
to be underweight to- advise the mo-
Their concerning the care and feeding
of her child until it has been brou-
ght up to the normal standard In
many places, weighing and measur-
ing is recurrent. Parents are urged
to bring their children to the sta
lions at intervals of three months, so
that their progress may be noted and
recorded. The State Board of
Health of Wisconsin has passed
resolution asking that the weighing
and measuring of children under six
years of age be made an annual event
The condition of babies and little
children as revealed by the weighing
and measuring test, has aroused pub
lie interest in the physical condition
of older children. Agitation for regu-
lar medical inspection of school chill
dren has become part of the Child
ren's Year program in several States,
and in a number of places the provi-
sion of warm, well-cooked luncheons
for school children is being urged as
a Children's Year activity
