LORE AT CONFERENCE
 OF WOMEN PHYSICIANS

New York. Sept. 23-Fresh air is not as beneficial semi fresh air and rich children often have suffered mere from malnutrition through war conditions than poor children. accord ing to statements made today by speakers at the International Confer ence of Women Physicians. The attack on fresh air was made by pr. w. A. College while the question of nutri- ton was dealt with by Dr. Henry L.. K- Shaw of Albany, one of the origi- nators of baby health contests throughout the country.
 Dr. Mccall based his conclusions on recent elaborate experiments by the New York state commission on venti lation. He said that these investiga- tions showed that public school chil- dren are slightly less. efficient and make slightly less improvement in psychological. educational and physi- cal measurements when under strict ly fresh air than when under air that is semi- -fresh. He said the commis- sion's investigation might be summed up. roughly, as follows:
 "The simple mental exercises. com plex mental processes. accuracy of judgment and both mental achieve ment and improvement are just as efficient under a temperature of 6S as under a temperature of SC. An indi- vidual, however. is made comfortable at 6S. The high temperature does not
  ably does impair the willingness to work Mental efficiency and improve ment comfort willingness to do men tai work appear to be the same for '6S degrees as for -T5. An @indfviduTPs mental efficiency and improvement and his general nervousness are iden- tical whether he be under a humidity of fifty per cent. or twenty per cent. and when the temperature is in each case 75 degrees. The moderate humid condition is only slightly more com fortable.'
 Dr.. Shaw urged better physical and medical care of children. advising ire uuent medical examinations for them.
 sThe war" he said, has produced an increase in malnutrition. The high cost of living and the conservation Of food by adults has worked hardships on the offspring. We have found large number of rich children suffer ing from loss of appetite while in va rious orphan asy1ums in this state we found the children well fed and With good appetites. due to regular dlet' regular hours of rest and play and the proper kind of solid food"

 Neither can I deal in any different manner with the veterans of the de- partment who have quit-men Of 20 or 30 years service. Young and old, their status is the same under the law.
 Well, of course. the men might appear for examination before the civil service commission and start all over again, but as l understand 1t they would probably meet with seri- ous obstacles there.
 Tt has been said that I knew the men were going to quit their jobs that they were going to take drastic action if I found one of them guilty of violating Rule 35- I had no official notice from the policemen to this ef- feet. l read the statement in the press. l had no information that they would strike.
