age, measuring them, weighing them
and comparing the result with the ta-
bic which tells what the normal child
of given age and height should weigh.
Under weight, due to faulty diet, is so
prevalent that it runs as high as 6S
per cent in some counties. In such
cases the nurse recommends the sub
stitution of cereals, toast and cocoa
for a breakfast of pancakes and cot
fee. e
Adenoids, enlarged neck glands, de
scayed teeth, threatened deafness, due
to some focus of infection, are COM
mon defects which are easy to cor
rect if taken in time. Rural school
contests, awarding banners to the
schools having the greatest percent
age of corrected defects, will show
the improvements made during the in
terval between the fall and spring
medical inspection.
Parents notices, which list the ply
steal record of each child examined
together with circular on tonsils and
adenoids and one on teeth, are left
with the teacher to be mailed to the
home. Because parents are vitality
concerned with the welfare Of their
children they value the scientific work
Of the county nurse who calls THEN
attention to conditions which are 9TH
erwise undetected, who supports the

who arouses in the boys and girls

health is game in which each one car

"a DAY WITH THE
SCHOOL NURSE
By a Red Cross nurse.


Ehe father who was afraid daily
brushing would wear out his children's
teeth, the mother who thought tooth
brushes are new tangled extravaganza
es, the boy who believed it was not
worth while because This tools were
all busted" and the little girl who
never manicured her finger nails, but
"just bit the dirty part off," have fall
len victim to the County Nurse who
has them ,irrevocably pledged to good
health habits following her medical
inspections of the county schools.
The nurse not only examines the
children and makes recommendations
to the parents for remedial measures
to be carried out under the direction
of the family physician, but she in
spects the, school plant to see that it
is a healthfil place for boys and girls
to spend five or six hours day. Arm
ed with her charts, scales and mea-
sures, she rides across country per
haps twenty five miles, starting in the
early gray so that she can note sani-
tary conditions, drinking water con-
tainers, facilities for washing hands,
disposal Of wraps and rubbers, hot
lunch equipment, heating plant, ventil-
alton, lighting and general cleanliness
and order before the children arrive.
A little talk which makes the health
game appear a pleasure, disarms an
xious youngsters who associate snurs-
es, as we'll as doctors and dentists,
with painful experiences. Rural school
children range from six to fifteen,
and some of them cannot understand
English very well, so the nurse has
to explain her mission simply.
She examines them in order of thei.

hearts. Eager for mastery, keen for
adventure and achievement, ready to
devote themselves, in complete self
forgetfulness, to whatever has force to
compel or impel them-they like a
thing better, the better it is, if only
they .apprehend it. They are very real
boys; no wonder their parents have
pleasure in them. What are their
fathers and mothers doing with them
that suits their natures What en-
larging experience, what satisfying
skill what deep lying interests does
the community allow them? Here are
good material and sufficient force. At
present, for six Years after they have
become equal to pioneer men, they are
usually treated as children. Their
world has no real use for them. An
adequate use should be found-a use
productive, creative, and friendly to
self-expression, yet at the same time
exciting, hazardous, and resistant, so
that battles may be waged and strong
holds and won with cheerful immedia-
cy. War is as natural as earthquake.
1t should be purifier and clarifier of
hearts and purposes; as it most sure
" is, where hearts and purposes are
ready to go right. Fear, pain, and
rage and fierce desire are good; not
spent in gusts and paroxysms, but US
ed as power to gain some difficult
good. Pursuit, struggle and capture
danger, difficulty, and fatigue are
good; not to gain mean ends, but to
make ideals real. These fervent heats
are necessary to real life. Real boys
must fight, and they must fight for
something worth the vigorous conflict
and the high endeavor.

Has Power to End

Federal Official Declares
Washington Must Act or
Further Increases Are Ger
tain: Embargo Remedy

An official of the Department of JUS
tice here declared yesterday that the
increase of 9 per cent in necessares
since January /, 1920, which includes
nothing but provisions, will very prob
ably be duplicated between now and
January /, 1921, unless the Washington
authorities "exert themselves"
"This country" he said, "is still
technically at war with Germany. That
being the case, it is within the power
of President Wilson to declare an en-
barge on any and every shipment of
produce to Europe or to any other for
eign locality. No one knows this bet
ter than Attorney General Palmer.
"President Wilson, were he SO dis
posed, not only could declare an en-
barge on foreign shipments of neces-
saries, but could arbitrarily fix price
for -four sugar, meats and other food
stuffs, and there is ample judicial
authority to sustain him. An act OF
Congress is not required to place such
an embargo under present circum-
stances. The order of the President of
the United States is all that is re-
and under his war powers the Presi-
dent has complete authority to seize
all provisions If he so elects.
"There is going to be an acute coal
shortage this fall and winter. Food
stutfs and clothing are bound to ad-
vance in price to make up for the wage
advance granted the railroad men. The
railroads will, necessarily, increase
their rates, and these rates will be
passed on 10 the consumer in the form
of increased prices for everything that
moves by rail. The increase will
amount to at least 10 per cent over and
above present prices for food, so that
by October / we can expect potatoes,
meats, flour and other foods to be at
least 10 per cent higher than they are
now. The President has ample author

Express Man Indicted
I'm Theft of $4,000
Former Manager of J. Witkin,
inc, Arrested ON Charge of
Funds

Joseph S. Wald, twenty-eight years
old, of 182 East Fourth Street, Brook
lyn, was arrested yesterday at the Of
fee of his express business at 26 Full
ton Street, Manhattan, on an indict-
ment charging forgery and grand lar
ceny. He was locked UP in the Tombs
and will be arraigned before Judge
Mott tomorrow.
The charge against Wald is that in
the eight years he was bookkeeper and
manager of J. Witkin, Inc, truckers,
of 81 Moore Street, he misappropriated
more than $4,000 of his employer's
funds. The ALLEGED theft, it is charged,
was accomplished by the Justification
of vouchers, Juggling of accounts and
padding of the pay roll.
Wald left the employ of the Witkin
concern last Septamber to 60 into
business for himself An examination
of the books revealed the alleged de-
falcation. 1t is said that suspicion was
directed against Wald by his extrava-
gance. He had been receiving $50 a
week from Witkin, but he bought a
home and an automobile and also had
