Alton Pope. c. r.. was in the city
Monday making a health inspection of
Hallowell. Accompanied by Superin-
tendent Packard he visited the schools
of the city to investigate the different
means of ventilation. These he found
satisfactory in the high school and
Maria Clark Grammar. but in the Mid
die Street Primary building it is very
difficult to obtain sufficient fresh air
suppl. There are no double windows
and tina. makes it nearly impossible
to open a window without some chill
dren being in the direct draught of the
cold air. To prevent colds nearly all
these windows remain closed and the
air becomes impure and most harmful
to health.

Wilson Dam Talk
Again Hats House
on Money Measures

Washington, Jan. 3-After wading
through nearly a fourth of the Ill pages
of the Sundry civil bill. first of the fif-
teen big appropriation measures, the
House tonight was halted by another
wave of talk over an amendment pro-
viding 100000 for work on the Wilson
Dam, part of the Muscle Shoals not
rate plant project in Alabama.
There were irsistent demands for
time. southern members especially de-
string to speak in behalf of the amend
ment. offered by representative Byrnes.
Tennessee, ranking Democrat of the
appropriations committee. 1t finally
was agreed to limit debate tomorrow to
an hour and half Republicans, ready
to make q point of order against the
amendment with every assurance that
it would be sustained, declined to press
it so that everybody could talk and
then bring the question squarely to Q
vote.
In taking up the bill, item by item
before reaching the dam question, the
House approved it with few charges.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
council of national defense. was strick-
en- out. 45 to %, with the result that
this war-created agency will be left
without funds after next July first
The expected fight on the Shipping
Board item failed to develop although
the paragraph directing the board to
sell it's ships and build no more was
ordered out on the ground that it
was covered by existing laws.
1t was learned later that the House
action in eliminating the paragraph
would leave the Shipping Board with
out funds after July 1, except for
$459, 900 for salaries of commissioners
and for expenses of the Board in-the
District of Columbia and of an Mn
vestigation of foreign discrimination
against American vessels and ship
pers.
The Board oriinally asked for an
appropriation of s147.000.000. Instead
of allowing this amount the appro-
priations committee inserted a para
graph in the sundry civil bill author
izing the Board to use funds on hand

the coming fiscal year. from oper-
alton Of ships and not to exceed $780,
600, 900 derived from the sale of ships
and equipment. BY striking out this
paragraph, it was explained, the
House left the Board without author
ity even to use funds derived from
salvaging of it's equipment for oper-
ating expenses. 1t was predicted that
an appropriation for the Board would
be inserted in. the bill when it reaches
the Senate.

Government Aids Reindeer Industry
Of Far Alaska

When Alaska becomes SO cold that
an ordinary Jersey COW would freeze
solid without a struggle, the reindeer
blows a cloud of steam over his Shout
der and wonders when therell be an
end to the muggy weather. Nor is the
reindeer dependent upon corn-illed
slos and cotton seed meal for his WIN
ter ration. He asks only a chance to
get out on the frosty barren, where he
can scrape the snow from the frozen
moss, and he'll obtain his own ration
for the long eight months of cold
weather. These are the attributes
which make the reindeer the domestic
animal of the natives of Alaska, to
whom some form of animal industry
is essential
Realizing the economic Importance of
this unique animal, the Bureau of Bio
logical Survey, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, has established
an experimental station at Unalakleet,
Alaska. The new station has a grazing
expert and a veterinarian in it's per-
sonnet and it is supplied with a we'll
equipped laboratory. It's primary pur-
pose is to serve the reindeer industry
by assisting the owners to rid their
herds of parasitic pests which have in
flicted considerable damage heretofore,
and to obtain better utilization of the
pasturage by regulating the grazing
lands. Crowding the herds into limited
areas has encouraged the development
of parasites and has lessened the rein
deer's food supply. Reports received
by the department indicate that the
new station is already correcting these
troubles 1t is expected that a bulle-
tin on the reindeer industry will be is
sued in a few months.
