BABY INVENTORY
 NOW UNDER WAY
MANY. REGIsTRANTs DEFICIENT
 ACCOUNT OF REMEDIAL DE.
 FEcTS WHICH COULD HAVE
 BEEN CORRECTED IN INFANCY.

More than two million babies-in town and country, rich and poor, well and sickly-are tipping the. scales and standing up to the yardstick, un- less they are too little to stand, in answer to the request of the Child ren's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor and the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense that parents enter their children in the nation wide test which began on April 9th, as the first step in the Children's Year campaign to save 100, O,000 babies
 This weighing and measuring test is spring inventory of the welfare of the nations children. The draft took stock of the men who will go to the battle front in France. It found less than two-thirds of them physi- cally fit for service. Many of these men were rendered unfit by defects which authorities declare could have been prevented if they had been dis covered and cared for in childhood.
 The children who survive to man. hood and womanhood with defects bear the scars of diseases, injuries, and general conditions which have proved fatal to others. The infant death rate is nearly as great as that of men and women who have complet- ed their allotted three score years and ten; nearly fourth of the deaths that occur at all ages are those of babies under five.
 | Is it necessary that these little chil dren run so great risk of death? Newsholme answered that question when he said that if children were all well born and well cared for the in fant death rate would be practically negligible.
 | The weighing and measuring test in the United States the opportunity ! to find out whether their children are well born and well cared for. Weight and height are a rough index of the health of the growing child, and the test will show individual parents and communities just how each child compares with the average. Follow up work will be planned to fit the needs shown by the test, and will continue throughout Children's year The Bureau believes that individua mothers and fathers must realize how vitally war time conditions af feet the welfare of their children I! s1O0,000 lives are to be saved during Children's Year.

ALL DEMOCRATS .
 ELECTED MONDAY

The city election passed off very quietly last Monday, with very little interest manifested in the election, only few exerciseing their rights of franchise and went to the polls and voted for their nominees.
 The Democrats had at the primary election placed a full ticket in the fed, while the Republicans had only four candidates for aldermanic hon. ors. The final count showed con- paratively easy victory for the Demo crats, every nominee received more votes than any of the Republican candidates, so the entire ticket was elected
 In some respects the vote for indi- vidual candidates was contrary to previous forecasts, but every one seemed perfectly satisfied with the results.
 Monday night the retiring board will meet in regular session, and the result of this election will be can vassed, and the nominees declared elected. The new board will be in. ducted into office Monday night, but it is not known whether the appoin- tive offices will be filled on that oc. casion or at an adjourned meeting to be held later
 Asa Miller received the highest number of votes in the election Mon day, but whether this will determine his election of mayor is not known. Nor is it known that MT. Miller will accept the nomination, as his duties are such that he may feel he cannot afford to devote the time necessary to make such an executive officer for Clifton as the town should have. It is stated that it has been the custom to choose the mayor accord ing to the vote cast in the election though it is pointed out that this pre- cedent has not always been followed An instance where it was not adhered to was in not elevating Mrs. Joe Deck to the office of mayor upon the resig nation of former Mayor Slaughter, is cited by those who predict the smashing of precedents. But there is good material in the board, and 1t will not be hard to select a mayor from that aggregation who will be acceptable to all the people. Following is how the votes were cast:

SPRINGERv|LLE
 ROAD LOOKS GOOD
INDICATIONS POINT TO EARLY COMMENCEMENT OF ROAD TO SPRlNGERvILLE, MOST IMPORT ANT ENTERPRISE.

Recently the Copper Era has con tained stories on the probable early commencement of work on the Cliff ton-Springerville highway, but at that time there was nothing tangible to base the hope upon except the merit of the proposition, and the certainty that the matter would be pushed through at some time in the future. But knowing that the government works slowly in all public enterprises, and on account of the war, the fear was entertained that this most import ant enterprise for Clifton, and the whole country affected, would be postponed until the war clouds were dissipated.
 The sky looks brighter now, and the indications are that the preliminary work will soon be under way. In fact the ball has been started and the preliminary steps will be taken in the immediate future. To this end representative of the Forestry Service will meet with the Board of Supervisors next Tuesday when he twill present tentative plan to be agreed upon by the representative cf the Forestry Service and the Super visors, for presentation to the Secre- tary of Agriculture for his approval.
 The ray of sunshine which pene- trated the cloud of doubt and uncer- tainty on this proposition was the following letter received from the acting District Forester of Albuquer- que. by A. L. Terry, secretary of the Board of Supervisors, which was dat put up your hammer:
 We have today received from the office of Public Roads an estimate O. the cost of construction of the Cliff ton-Springerville road.
 'sIt is our desire to get the cooper ative agreement for construction in shape for presentation to the Secre- tary of Agriculture for his approval as soon as possible. Therefore, Tn order that the whole matter may be settled without undue delay. repre- sentative of the Forestry Service will be glad to meet with the County 4Board of Supervisors on June 4th, for the purpose of presenting tentative plan for handling the matter, which hope will be satisfactory to all par ties concerned. z
 If the county board can meet on the above mentioned date, it will be appreciated if you will notify me by wire in time for our representative to reach Clifton"
 Replying to the above letter MT Terry sent the following telegram:
 County Board will meet your rep resentative June 4th as requested
 To the Copper Era this is the best news that has come our way in some time, for the completion of the Cliff ton-Springerville road is the best plum that can fall in the lap of this favored spot at this time. The un certainty about the early commence menf of this important enterprise seems to have been dissipated, anc it now looks like the matter will. be rushed through.
 Reports from Washington recently indicated that Senator Ashurst wal giving the matter his personal atten ton, in which he is reported to have become deeply interested. Results usually accompanies the Senator's ac tion, and perhaps this impetus is due to his efforts.

ONE NATION. ONE LANGUAGE.
Indiana Teachers Ask Repeal of Law

Indiana Teachers Ask Repeal of Law
Calling For German in Schools.
Indianapolis, April 26.-Indiana has a
law requiring that German be taught
in the public schools. In annual con-
vention here the Association of History
Teachers Of Indiana (the history sec
ton of the Indiana State Teachers As
sociation) has Just passed unanimously
this expression of it's sentiments and
convictions:
In view of the great world war and
it's isues. we desire to recognize the
new and greater obligations resting
upon US as teachers of history and civil
used in every possible way to unity
and Americanize our people. All our
education should be directed toward
preventing America from becoming q
polyglot nation of varied and diverse
nationalities and tongues. There should
be but one nationality, one govern
ment one flag, one allegiance, one Ian
guage. English is the language Of
America, and no other should be taught
in our elementary schools. We press
upon the governor and the legislature
of this state the earliest possible repeal
Of the useless and unfortunate law re-
curing German to be taught in our
public schools. We believe the law was
passed as part of a propaganda con-
Quoted thru the insidious and odious
influence of the German American
Alliance, with the design of German
izing the American people. We should
resist such alien influences on our edu
cation and civilization coming from
any sources whatever
"Our civilization is predominantly
Anglo-Saxon. Our laws, our political
institutions, our political ideas, our ma
tional and state constitutions, our prin-
ciples of self government, our free
representative assemblies. have all come
down to us from British origins thru
British and American history. Our
teaching of history should continue to
emphasize our obligations to and con-
nections with this historic past. Our
teaching of American history should
seek to romove from, or prevent in, the
minds of our children all anti British
feeling. Our students should be led to
understand that the American revolu
ton was in the nature of a civil war
conflict Of ideas between Tory. and
liberal Englishmen in Britain and
America. The founders of this repub
lie were contending for the same princi-
pies Of free parliamentary government
that Burke and Chatham. Pym and
Hainpden, and other patriotic English
men contended for in their day. We are
resolved to continue to inculcate these
principles OF free government in our
schools and to do all we can as a
means of securing international peace,
to remove all obstacles to good under
standing and good will among English :
speaking people thruout the world"

NoD Speeding Up in
Making Airplanes For
Battlefield Service

New York, April 25.-Addreseing the
Automobile Club of America here, AL
fred Reeves. general manager Of the
national automobile chamber of COM
merce said
mistakes have been made and pro-
duction is not up to the schedule. but
the big producing machine is under
way. Two companies shipped 100
Liberty motors last week, and this
rate will substantially increase. 1t was
deemed better to take the time to
make needed changes rather than
supply other than the safest and best
planes to our fiers.
Developments that were not even
known in England and France when
the signal corps made its schedule
were responsible for the delays. Every
aeronauticaI plant with any kind OF
equipment has moro than Il can DO II
turning out training planes, so the
automobile industry was asked TO
make the Liberty motors and planes.
There was small capacity among
the aeronautical plants, because, to
our shame, little government or pubic
support had ever been given to these
pioneers in aeronautics. Even Curtiss
the largest of them, had only en-
ployed 2.O51 persons when the war
broke out but, taken over by John n.
wills. now has $4,000 employees.
Henry Ford can make more Liberty
motors than all of the aeronauticaI
plants combined. He is making l,'oo
cylinders day We also have Pack
ard. Marmon. General Motors Trosoe
and Leland, the father Of the Cadillac
car.
Fisher Of Detroit. with fourteen
pIants and a capacity of 400 touring
and 200 limousine bodies a day, can
make more planes than all the aero
nautical builders put together. There
are twenty-one other companies max
ing complete machines or parts.
There are more than forty different
kinds Of motors among the Enghsh
and French and the best of them are
made in automobile plants. There are
. 200 Liberty motors under way. IN
tests they have been up 10000 feet
and have met all speed requirements
some motors are travelling 400 miles d
dav and one has already flown more
than 5000 miles. There have oeen
no broad, important decisions that
have not proved right.
THE Liberty motor gives 100 horse
mower more than any other motor at
the front. except a few experimental
Rolls oyces. The Liberty motor
regularly gives 425 horsepower Tor
