WASHINGTON, March 2-The nom
nation Of Bairbridge Colby to be sec
rotary Of state will be permitted toI
take leisurely and uncertain course.
A meeting of the foreign relations com
mittee was called for next Monday
This is cancelled and the meeting in
definitely postponed
Predictions are made by the mem
bers Of the committee that eventually
the nomination of Nr. Colby will be
reported "without recommends ion.
This would leave any senator entirely
free to oppose his confirmation with
out overriding a favorable report from
the committee.
Despite the certainty of considerable
delay, it is believed the appointment
OF Mr.. Colby will be approved by the
senate when the matter finally does
arrive at the period of action. 1t is
thought what antagonism did exist
will dwindlc away until but little re
mains at the end.
The nomination of Charles r. Crane
to be minister to China will be treated
i'll the same leisurely fashion if made
by the President lie Will be hung up
subject to investigation until such time
as the senate decides to pass upon his
qualifications. Senator Knox viii not
formally fight his selection. If called
upon by the foreign relations commit
tee to relate his experience with Mr..
Crane, when named as envoy to China
in 1909, he win furnish complete de
! tails. 1t is not his intention voIuntar-
| lily to pursue the matter any further
4 lively fight is imminent on the ap-
rolntment Of former Gov George w.
T. Hunt of Arizona to be minister to
sam. a telegram was received today
by the foreign relations committee from
citizen of Arizona declaring that Mr.
Hunt belongs to the l. w w. In re-
ply, wire was sent saying that any
information bearing on this charge will
be accepted by the committee in con
sldering the Hunt nomination. The cit
lzen was told to put all his allegations
| m due form and submit the necessary
| proof to the foreign relations commit
/ tee
Former Gov. Hunt has been active
/ i'm humanitarian and labor matters. He
| Is president of the Anti-Capital Pun
] ishment society of America 1t IS evi-
dent from the telegram already re-
ceived that much opposition may de-
j velop to the confirmation of Mr. Hunt
In this way at least three of the
I President : most recent appointments
seem destined TO much delay before
the benefciaries are permitted to as
sumo the duties for which they were
chosen. 1t is declared that the poHt-
zeal activities of Messrs. Colby and
| Crane have had nothing to do with the
conclusion to shandle their nominations
! with more than ordinary leisure. 1t is
understood the actual reason is that
abundant opportunity may be afforded
for bringing to light any complaints
or charges that might be rugged M
against either of those mentioned
After lapse Of time, if something
tangible is not brought forward
prompt action is anticipated, and it
IS believed this will result in the con.
irmation of Colby and Crane. The
case Of ex-Gov Hunt is less certain as
TO the outcome.

Shall millions Of our bravest men

Throughout the land again?

Nor war but peace, again.

To Consider Parent-Teacher Club.

Invitations have been given to the
parents of all pupils in the graded school
to meet at the schoolhouse Tuesday
afternoon, of this week, to consider
forming Parent Teacher club in this
town
The idea is valuable one and it is
hoped that a large number will be pres
ent. This association is not a local or
ganization, but worldwide movement.
Wherever these clubs are formed there
has resulted better cooperation be-
tween the homes and the school and a
better understanding by parents Of the
school work required.
The plan in this town is especially
timely because Of the many changes ne
cessitated by the Junior senior high
school work which was started at Leland
< Gray seminary this year. Should the
club be started every mother in the com
multy should back up the teachers by
joining and taking an interest in the
work.

cite alarm or to cause undue wor-
ny, but simply that you may know
our condition and help to prevent
other infections if possible.
"a suggestion; If case occurs
in your home great care should be
exercised specially with the patient
and to know that all eXcretions from
the mouth and nose are disinfected,
A cloth Tor better a rubber cloth
should be placed under the bed lin

er with all other materials used in
treating and feeding the patient
should be thoroughly cleansed or
sterilized, preferably by boiling. It
is of the utmost importance that all
discharges from the nose and mouth
be sterilized or burned. The fumi-
cation or the house, or room, occu-
pied by the patient is important
and I will gladly direct or advise If
desired.
"You can also relieve other par,
ents of considerable worry and
anxiety by keeping your child at
home from school for day or two
if it has sore throat, Group or ar
infectious fever. OF course,I know
we hate for our children to miss a
dav from school, but have heard
that IAN ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" and that reminds
me again of that notice l mailed you
regardinga defect I observed in your
child. Your child deserves the best
of health and the removal of all
handicaps and hindrances while
seeking an education, and later when
fighting life's battles. Many OF tne
defects are easily corrected while

WARNS PARENTS
OF DIPHTHERIA
DIR. Bond Points Out I'M
portance OF Proper
Care

DIR. B. F. Bond, county commits
sioner of health, yesterday issued
the following card to the parents Of
this community regarding diphtheria
and the health of their children:
cat this season of the year when
diphtheria is more prevalent it be-
hooves us to look well to the care
of our children. In the eXamina-
tons made of the school children
of Sumter county many defects Of
the mouth and tonsils were found
and a notice of the defect was mail
ed to the parent or guardian of the
child.
81 think. all medical authorities
agree that a diseased tonsil or low
ering of the resistance of the body
due to a diseased conditions of the
mouth and throat renders the child
more susceptible to infections and
should disease not set in complica-
tions are more frequent and the re-
covery of the patient more in doubt
"During the last few days we have
had several cases of diphtheria and
two patients have died in Sumter
county this month from this cause
Other cities are securing the services
of additional physicians to treat
