good, and he never does break a
promise with me. He has fulfilled
every one, and everybody has told
me to marry him. So I am in need
of your advice, and will thank you

Answer think there is nothing
you can do, as you really had no en-
gagement with the girl to take her to

nicer on her part if she had returned

Answer-Your parents are interest
ed in your welfare. 1 am sure that
is why they want you to wait awhile
about going with the boys. Still L
think there would be no harm in
your going out occasionally with
boys, and I think that if you make
your parents feel that it is all in
purely friendly spirit with no idea
of going with the boys as sweet
hearts they will not mind.

LOCAL BABIES ARE EXAMINED AT
 CONFERENCE

One direct result of the war has been material agitation for the bet torment of children and Clifton is not behind in this splendid movement, as was shown last week when the chil- dren's health conference was held at the County Hospital. America was astonished at the results of the physi- cal examinations given during the se- lective draft, when we discovered that one out of every three of our young men, in the best years of their mau- hood, were physically unfit to bear arms. Common ailments which de- veloped gradually during childhood were to blame for this and in most cases with some little attention might have been prevented or eliminated. In a civilized country as rich and intelli- gent as ours, no child should be allow ed to develop with even one remedial physical defect. Our survey in Clifton is somewhat limited owing to the fact that out of 699 children registered only 34S reported for examination, but it is hoped that mothers will, in an other year, join this crusade and con- slider it a privilege to bring their chill dren to the conference, and in so do ing pledge themselves to make them as healthy as present knowledge will permit. There is absolutely no reason why single child in Clifton should go undernourished and with a thorough physical examination and a little, at tention on the part of the mother re- garding foods, this, at least, can be corrected.
 Sixteen per cent of the babies ex- amined here showed malnutrition. Some American children are fed too much and some are even found to be pot bellied."
 The history of the child's early feed ing was taken, then the child was stripped, weighed and measured and handed over to the doctor for a thor ough physical examination. All re- suits were tabulated and within week these records will be mailed to parents; in most cases helpful sugges- tions concerning the care of the child and where operations are necessary the parents are advised to consult the family physician.
 It will be noticed from the table that SC boys need circumcision and 116 boys and girls have enlarged tonsils. In the cases of very young babies, the tonsils were given special attention owing to the fact that no operation could be performed. Enlarged tonsils are usually Accompanied by adenoids, but it was almost impossible to locate the latter definitely.
 Follow-up work will be carried on among the"Mexicans and classes estab- lished in sanitation, such as screening for flies, use of soap and water, feed ing and problems in clothing, etc. Following is table of statistics of results from the conference held last week:

MORENC| BOY DIES AS A RESULT IF FRACTURED SKULL
Soldier Boy Found by Night Nurse on Porch of Hospital Early Sunday Morning in Dying Condition.

Percy Williams, who was found on the porch of the Arizona Copper Com pany's Hospital early Sunday morning last by night nurse, Miss Kellar, with a fractured skull, died Monday morn ing at 5:15 a. m.
 After an investigation by the off cers it was learned that Percy Will Hams and three of his friends, Neff, White and Blaylock, attended dance they started home, first going to the room of White and Blaylock, where
 Williams and Neff helped these two
 boys to retire and then he and Neff proceeded to go to their homes. Ar irving in front of the home of D. M.
 Cansler, Neff and Williams stopped and had some kind of an argument
 which awoke MT. Cansler's son, who was sleeping on his porch about eight
 feet from where the boys were stand ing. Young Cansler, testifying before the coroner's jury on last Wednesday
 at the inquest held before Coroner J. M. Lally, stated that "Neff told Will Hams not to pull hHile OH HlIll dHlf then he heard them both fall and after
 about five minutes they got up and
 left, but it was so dark that he did
 not know which way they went" Neff,
 White and Blaylock were arrested on Monday and held as witnesses for the coroner's jury, which convened on Wednesday afternoon. Dave Ling, county attorney, appearing for the state and Judge Kearney representing Neff White and Blaylock. The jury after hearing all the testimony in the case returned the following verdict. That Percy Williams came to his death by blow on the head delivered by some unknown party, and that Walter Neff be held for further in vestigation, Blaylock and White being released. The funeral of Percy Will
 Hams was held on last Tuesday after noon from the home of his father, services being held in the Morenci Chapel, the body was laid to rest in the Morenci cemetery, accompanied by a military escort. Percy Williams was the first soldier to return to Morenci from overseas, having just recently been discharged from service.

In an item appearing in the May Red Cross Magazine, Rupert Blue, surgeon general United States Public Health Service, says of community health nursing:
 'I hope the time is not far distant when every community in the United States will enjoy the benefits of a system of public health nursing, for can hardly conceive of any other sin gle measure of health protection whose general application will bring greater lasting benefits to the country.
 ''Io those who have followed the de- velopment of public health work in this country it becomes more and more evident that much of the prog ress which has been made is due to the introduction of public health nurs- ing as an integral part of public health administration.
