Richardson Highway to Cor dova Believed to Be Only Way Out for Stranded Pas sengers on Yukon River.
WATER AT LOWEST
 POINT IN MANY YEARS
With Cold Weather Prevail ing, Ice Break is Appar-
 ently Obivated

Between 600 anW 800 passengers are aboard the stranded steamers of the American Yukon Navigation company on the Yukon river en route to the states, according to reports re- ceived here. In case the boats are unable to proceed, they will be forced to mush over soft trails to Fair banks. or wait until there is sufficient snow for sledding. From Fairbanks they will probably come out by the way of Cordova.
 With the temperature at Panama reported lower than at any prior time this season and water conditions un- changed, it is not believed that there is any chance for the steamers Alaska and Yukon, now tied up there, to proceed further. Neither is there any likelihood of the Seattle No. 3 of the same fleet, stranded at Ram pSiiI ioI oSNtIbI NfiS DtllS dDit lO move.
 All of these boats are carrying passengers for the states. Part of those on the vessels at Panama will make an effort to get out by the way of St. Michael and get passage on the last Victoria. The rest will be forced to back travel overland to Fairbanks and come out over the Richardson Highway to Cordova.
 The Washburn, en route to Daw- so, is making every effort to force it's way through the ice and low water to it's destination. The mail boat Hazel B., 9 gasb0at. now at Circle stranded, smet the latter vessel at Woodchopper, between Circle and Eagle, blowing her way upstream.
 At last reports the government steamer Jacobs was at Eagle bound for Whitehorse to tie up for the winter.
 The combined ice conditions and low water have not only forced the larger steamers to tie up, but have stranded. smaller gas launches that usually ply during the early part of October carrying mail and a few passengers. The Kotlik, a mail launch, is reported stranded on the Yukon river below Panama while the mail boat Hazel B., down bound from Dawson, is in a similar situa- ton at Gree.
 The water in Interior streams is said to be at the lowest stage in the history of the country. It is this copdition which most endangers navigation as it is generally believed that the run of ice will tighten in few days possibly sufficient to enable steamers to get through, but with the water at it's present stage, it is in- sufficient to move jams and to all low the steamers to move across the bars that hamper navigation along the flats between Circle and Fort Yukon and below there.
 It is reported that both the Yukon and Alaska will go into winter quart CTS in the White Pass shipyards at

CHILD HEALTH SURVEY TO

number Of apparently well babies
were suffering from various disor-
ders, ranging from malnutrition, the
most common ailment, to bad teeth,
tonsils, adenoids and various other
disorders, which often have serious
results if allowed to continue uncor-
rected.
MalnutrLtion is the commonest
disorder found among young chii-
dren. And it is not confined to the
homes Of the very poor, as i often
supposed. The child Of the wealthy
home has been found to be poorly
nourished, even where there is an
abundance of good food. Lack of
properly balanced diet is the main
cause of this condition, which can be
remedied by adding to the child's diet
the elements lacking, or curtailing an
over-abundance of some article of
food.
"The doctors and nurses in charge
of the examination viii tell you ex-
actly what your child reeds, and by
following their directions the mother
herself can aid greatly in improving
the condition OF her child's health.

Under the direction of a represen-

the Brownsville Child Welfare Asso-
citation will conduct a health survey
of all children under seven years of
age. The date set for the examina-
ton Of these children is from Feb.
3 to 6, inclusive.
Registration cards have already
been received and the registration
committee will take up the task of
registering all the children Of this age
Immediately. 1t is the wish of the
state to obtain al accurate statement
Of the general condition Of the health
Of all these children, and Il hopes by
these means to raise the standard OF
health all over the state.
Upon the days designated COM
potent corps Of physicians and nurses
will examine all children and upon
cards provided for same. win give the
mother an accurate ai,ment of the
physical condition of her child. There
are three copies Of these cards, one to
be given to the mother. another sent
70 the State Board Of Health. and the
third to be filed in the records of the
local association for future reference.
II is hoped to make this child health
survey an annual affair, and by pre-
serving these cards the mother MAJ
make a comparative examination
next year, thus finding out if her
child is progressing, and along what
line it is deficient.
The association says:
at is to be hoped that none of the
mothers will think, as one approached

physician and if my baby seems to
be the least bit out of order he calls
to see her. That is the point exact

VALLEY ESCAPES FREEZE
NORTHER DOES NO DAMAGE

The Valley has passed through an
other Texas norther without any
damage being recorded to even the
most tender vegetables, according to
reports from all points reaching The
Herald today.
Sunday was one of the coolest days
Of the winter, but despite this fact,
the lowest temperature recorded in
Brownsville was 35 degrees, which is
well away from the danger zone to
tender garden truck. The tempera
ture went slightly below this further
inland, but not sufficiently low to
cause any harm. In view of the
cloudy weather and the fall of rain
fall, truckman say that even had the
temperature gone to 2S or below
there would have been no appreciable
harm.
While today opened with cloudy
weather still holding, the clouds broke
during mid-morning, and by noon the
sun was shining from a bright sky,
the wind had moderated considerably,
and the weather forecast for Tues
day is light easterly to southerIy
winds, indicating that the backbone
of the norther already is broken, and
normal Valley weather, with bright
skies, may be considered certain for
the remainder of the week. While
frost is the prediction from the New
Orleans weather bureau, this predic-
ton probably is for the upper section
Of the coast, in the Houston Calves
ton district, and east along the Louis
lana coast.
