NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS
OF CHILDRENDS' NEEDS
WORK OF BUREAUS SHOWS BE
GINNING OF PERMANENT
BENEFITS.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-That the
new national consciousness of chill
dren's needs developed by childrea's
year has begun to show permanent
results is indicated in the annual re-
port of the Childrens Bureau, u. S.
Department of Labor, which has just
been made public. The campaign was
inaugurated with the beginning of the
second year of the war in an effort to
save babies lives and to raise the
standards for the health, education
and work OF older children. The work
has been done in cooperation with the
child welfar committees of the Coun-
ell of National Defense ''It is impos-
sible," Miss Julia C. Lathrop, chief of
the childrens bureau writes, ito
speak too much appreciation of the
power of this great body of volun-
teers."
Between six and seven million chill
dren have been weighed and meas
ured. Many local committees have
succeeded in providing follow-up
mea sures to help parents in their en-
deavors to remedy defects which the
tests have revealed Scientific diets
have been prescribed for many of the
children whose examinations indicat-
ed that they were undernourished. In
a number of places public funds have
been appropriated for permanent
work for children as a result OF the
children's year, and many health cen
ters, prenatal clinics, travelling clinics
and like measures for the better care
of children have been established.
Through the weighing and measur-
ing tests, the report points out, gener-
al attention has for the first time been
drawn to the needs of the child pre-
school age, long known as the meg
lected age" The claims of infants
and the needs OF mothers for better
prenatal confinement care have been
given wide publicity by local commit
tees working for healthier childhood,
The older children have been given
special attention. In order to afford
older children opportunity to guage
their physical development tests OIL
physical efficiency were made part OF
the recreation drive, held in the sum-
mer. The drive included many other
features. planned with the purpose OF
giving boys and girls a chance to de-
velop whole sale interests and play un-
der healthy, decent conditions.
The present drive of children's year
is the Backto-School campaign. 1t
is now going forward in sc states, and

CHURCH UNITY.

The following notice appears In the
Solomon Tribune and is one of the
most sensible movements Of many a
day:
"A meeting of the congregations Of
the Protestant churches of the town
will be held Monday evening at 1880
at the Methodist church. Rev. Hall,
district superintendent Of the Metho-
dist church, and Rev. NanOrdan,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Salina, viii speak. This meeting Is
being held for the purpose of endeav
oring to get the different congrega-
lions together. A large attendance
is desired"
Solomon with 1000 population has
four protestant churches, all struggl-
ing for existence and unable to pos
sess either an imposing church ediiice
or especial talent. The very fact that
their finances are limited discourages
the ablest preachers. 1t is proposed
that all unite in one community

city, doing more good than the -four

RAILROADS HOLD THE SACK
Congress Leaves Administration With
Empty Golfers.
tAs.ocinteI Pre..s


Washington, March 5-The govern
ment has no Immediate intention of
relinquishing control of the railroads
as result of the failure of congress
to appropriate funds for railroad ad-
ministration, Director General Hines
stated. He also explained that every
effort will be made to continue opera
lions as usual, to avoid laying of
employees, and to finance the rail-
roads through private loans or
through advances from the war finan-
ce corporation.
Although the railroad administra-
tons program of capital expendi-
lures for extension improvements ana
new buildings may be modified. The
government will try to continue the
projects planned through the next
few months and does not contemp-
late raising rates.

ing $50 million dollars for railways

practically empty Golfers, about 3Sl
million dollars back debts, and nc
funds with which to finance the eN-
tensive program of improvements
planned for this year as a measure
to take up slack in the materials anf
labor market.
Immediate REIMBURSEMENT of thu
roads to private management doomed
as a possibility, but officials said thi
would be done only If it finally ap
peared not feasible for the railroad
to borrow privately the million
