Millions of Boys and Girls
Have Physical Defects Which
Impede Their Development

Fifty per cent of 25,000,0O0 boys and
girls of school age in this country have
physical defects and ailments which
Impede their normal development, ac-
cordlng to the annual report Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the national phys
ical education service. The estimate
was made following numerous investi-
CATIONS conducted by members of the
committee.
A lack of proper physical education,
uuch as play, athletics, work and gym
nastics was attributed by the commit
tee as the cause for the physical disa-
bility, and a broad program of state
md federal legislation for the re-
quired education was urged as means
of bringing children to the proper
standard.
Members of the executive committee
include Majcr-General w. G. Gorgas,
Or. Charles Mayo, John Mitchell, DR..
Thomas A. Storey, William Kent, DR..

BUDDING TIME TOO BRIEF

o little buds. break not so fast!
The springs but new,
The skies will yet be brighter blue,
And sunny, too.
I would you might thus sweetly last
TIL this glad seasons overpast,
Nor hasten through.
1t is so exquisite to feel
The light, warm sun;
To merely know the winter done,
And life begun;
And to my heart no blooms appeal
For tenderness SO deep and real,
AS anyone.
or these first April buds. that hold
The hint of springs
Rare perfectness that May-time brings.
So take not wings!
Oh, linger. linger, nor unfold
Too swiftly through the mellow mould.
Sweet growing things
And errant birds. and honey bees,
Seek not to vile;
And. sun, let not your warmest smile
Quite yet beguile
The young peach-boughs and apple trees
To trust their beauty to the breeze;
Wait yet awhile!

Polar Star and Some of
the Wonders of This Great
Beacon of the Far North

Most people, II they know nothing
else of astronomy, at any rate know
the pole star, the one star which seems
to keep its place in the heavens with
out movement of any kind. There are
great many, however, says the
Rehoboth Sunday Herald, who do not
know what n wonderful thing it is, in
the first place, 1t can be seen when
looked at through a good telescope to
be two stars and not one. There is
one fairly bright one, of what is known
as the second magnitude, and another
of the ninth magnitude close to it.
But that is not all. The brighter of
the two is really three stars revolving
round one another, or, rather, round
their common center of gravity, like
three children playing ring ring of
roses"
This secret is revealed to us by what
Is perhaps the most astonishing of all
scientific instruments, the spectroscope.
1t not only tells us what the stars are
made of, but whether they are moving
toward us or away from us.
When you stand facing the star you
are always facing north. The reason
that it does not appear to move as the
others do is that 1t is nearly in line
with the axis of the earth. Its dis
tance from us is enormous. This can
be judged from the fact that although
the earth in its journey around the sun
is today about 19O,000,000 miles from
where it was six months ago, that
makes no appreciable difference to its
distance from the pole star. 1t must
therefore be many times 190O00,OOO
miles away.

DOUGLAS STARCH WORKS AT
CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA,
BURNS.
ONE HUNDRED INJURED
EVERY WINDOW IN CENTRAL
PART OF CITY BROKEN BY
EXPLOSION.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May IA
score of persons were killed ana u
hundred injured by an explosion at
the Douglas Starch works. OF the lou
men and boys who had just gone 10
work on the night shift, few escaped
injury or death. The entire plant was
burned by resultant fire, which was
| confined to the Douglas plant. Inc
loss is $3,000,000.
The shock was felt all over Cedar
Rapids and for miles around the coun-
try. Fire broke out and consumed the
shattered plant.
Firemen extricated dead and wound
ed from the debris hastily to AVOID
lncineration. The injured were rushed
to hospitals and homes as rapidly as
volunteers with automobiles could be
mustered
So severe was the explosion that
persons were thrown from chairs a
mile away. The cause of the accident
could not be determined, but is thought
to have been due to either a defective
boiler or spontaneous combustion.
Many of the hundreds of employees
were in or near the factory buildings
when the blast covered the ground for
blocks with wreckage. Some were
buried in the shattered buildings,
while others were hit by flying rem
nantS.
Within half an hour twenty-five
bodies were reported removed.
Broken glass flew in veritable
showers through the streets near the
plant, cutting the faces and hands of
many who were near the factory.
The blast blew in large windows
many blocks from the Douglas plant,
and persons within office buildings
also suffered from the shattered
glass.
With the fire raging, cries were
heard coming from the drying room
of the plant, but firemen were unable
to cut their way in.
Additional explosions from the oil
rooms scattered the burning wreckage,
and firemen were hard pressed to pre-
vent the spreading of the flames to
nearby industries.
Men covered with starch were taken
from the ruins by their comrades, and
many thrilling rescues were made.
Some of the victims were stark mad
and did not know what had happened.
Water mains We're cut by the force
of the explosions, making the work Of
the firemen harder because of the
lack of water.
Every window in the central part
of the city was broken. Chimneys
caved in on families at the supper
table and guests in the dining rooms
of hotels were thrown from their
chairs.

Forcing Way to Petrograd.

London.-The Bolsheviki have not
succeeded in checking the advance on
Petrograd. The Finnish forces, accord.
ing to British reports, are within for,
ty-five miles of the city, and the Es-
thonians are within fifty. The British
force at Laga bay is not important so
far as concerns an attack on Petrograd
being merely landing force from war
ships. The allied troops on the north
Russian front have carried out a sue.
cessful turning movement against the
main Bolshevist position. Several
towns were captured and many prison.
ers taken, and the enemy also suffered
heavy casualties.
