PHYSICAL FITNESS is
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
(Ry Assoe1a,ed Press.l


New York, Oct. 26.-School teachers
will examine every pupil in New York
November 9 to determine their physi-
cal fitness. The department of health
set aside the day to stimulate interest
of the teachers in their work, expects
ing them to more quickly detect physf-
cal detectives and report them prompt
~ to the school physician.
For % years a department of health
doctor or nurse has visited each pub
lie and parochial school in New York
daily. The teachers report to them
any child exhibiting signs of illness.
Nurses examine all pupils monthly
for contagious eye and skin diseases
and pronounced physical shortcomings
Those having symptoms of contagious
diseases are Immediately sent home.
In this way contagious diseases have
been held under control here. This was
shown in the influenza epidemics
which were checked in the schools SO
forcibIy that attendance was proper
tionateiy as great as during the. same
period in other years, and the sickness
and death rate was lower in the five
to fifteen year old group than for any
other period of life.
The health department expects to
make vigorous search for unhealthy
pupils in the future. Most of the men
rejected for war service, 1T has been
noted, had defects (which could easily
have been prevented or corrected dur
ing childhood.

PALMER EFFORTS
ARE RIDICULED
raw AssocIated Press.1

New York, Oct. 26.-Charges that
the federal government has taken no
steps to protect the country from
coal profiteers were made in an ad-
dress at a Republican meeting in
Brooklyn tonight by Senator Calder,
of New York.
He ridicuIed recent efforts by At
torney General Palmer to induce coal
operators to agree upon fair price
for their product.
The senator demanded that coal
operators who have unnecessarily in
creased prices be prosecuted and criti-
cised the department of justice for
failure to prosecute Southern sugar
growers who, he claimed were re-
sponsible for the high price of sugar.

CLOSING OF GINS
HAS OPPOSITION
AN A..oelated Press.l

vicksburgl Miss, Oct. 26.-The
vicksburg Board of Trade today
adopted a resolution calling upon Gov
ernor Russell not TO issue a procla-
nation asking the cotton gins of the
state TO close for thirty days, as re-
quested by Governor Parker Of Louisi-
ana.
The reasons for asking the governor
to disregard the request of the Louisi-
ana executive are that a general sus-
pension of ginning would cause great
Inconvenience, expenses and risk to
many cotton producers, the petition
pointing out that cotton in the seed
is subject to damage by fire and
weather.
The petition further states that the
members of the organization are in
sympathy with the movement to hold
cotton for a more remunerative price,
but that they can see no benefits
to be derived by holding it in the
seed.

1T occurred to me that when
Chickasha puts over the community
athletic field, the owners of that
proposition, that is the stockholders,
would favor some proposition where
by they could lease the ball park
to some baseball man and let him
own and operate the team relieving
the stockholders of the worry of
expense OF the baseball team, pro
per-" said Mr. Hayes.
q took this matter up with Mr..
Allen and he talked very favorable, -
Drap continued. "He stated that
when Chickasha was ready to talk
business. he would send his secre-
tary here to go over the proposition
with the local people. 1t would
mean that Chickasha would have a
crack team and one lat would be
up in the running, as Allen has ac-
cess to a world of material, too good
to cut loose, but needing little
seasoning before going into the
game in the Southern league. In my
opinion, if Chickasha interests could
make deal with Mr.. Allen, it
would be the best thing that could
he done"
