HOUSE COMMITTEE TAKES
UP IMMIGRATION 'TANGLE
With Labor Department officials,
Members Try to Solve 5000
Surplus.

Members of the House immigration
committee and officials of the De-
partment Of Labor attempted yester-
day to untangle the first difficulty
under the percentage immigration
law. resulting from immigrants num-
bering about 5000 arriving at various
points in excess of the quotas for
June.
Conferences between Secretary
Davis, legal advisers Of the Depart
ment of Labor and the Attorney
General confirmed the opinion pre-
viously held by Assistant Secretary of
Labor Henning that the Secretary of
Labor has authority to admit the ex-
cess immigrants under bond and
charge them against the quota for the
fiscal year. it was said at the Depart
ment of Labor. This procedure. how
ever, immigration officials said. is
precedent the department desires to
set only as a last expedient.
The resolution introduced In Con-
gress by Chairman johnson of the
House immigration committee pro-
posing to admit the immigrants is to
be changed, Secretary Davis said. after
conferences between Department of
Labor officials and Chairman johnson,
by insertion of a provision to allow
fiscal years quota.
The resolution was discussed by the
House immigration committee, but
no conclusion was reached as to
whether its passage was advisable

ception to a statement by the Mis-
souri, senator regarding the federal

the measure numbered $40. To this
statement Senator Glass would not
agree, insisting that the Dill had ret
been changed in any fundamental
way ~ the Senate.
Senator Reed insisted that he had
said nothing to give offense to Mr..
Glass and promised to prove his
statements regarding the federal re-
serve act. and added:
He says 1 have no occasion to love
him. That is true. I don't and 1 have
no reason to do so. but / do not in
tend to let any personal differences
control my conduct in the Senate"
The packer bill was attacked by
Senators Edge of New Jersey and
Stansfield of Oregon, republicans. and
Senator Reed.
Senator Hitchcock. democrat. Ne

demnation of governmental regula-
tion.

tion of the packer bill next week. hav-

What other country than the United

There is no sense in indulging in spec

My chief interest is in the problem

CHILDREN THRIVE.
IN HYGIENE CLINIC
Nutrition Classes in Six
Schools Held to Be Do.
ing Vast Good. .

Marked improvement has been
shown in the health and physical
condition Of children who have at
tended classes at the special nutri-
ton and hygiene clinics in six public
schools, according to DR.. Joseph A.
Murphy. supervising medical in
spector of the schools. These cApics.
which have been operated as an Iex-
pertinent since the latter part of Feb
ruary, are located at the Thomson,
and Miner Normal schools.
Children in these schools were
weighed and measured, and those
found to be 10 per cent or more un-
derweight were invited to attend the
nutrition and hygiene classes. Meet
ings of xhe classes were held week.
ly, and the medical inspectors exam
ined the pupils and explained to them
how to correct their physical de-
fects. A chart was kept indicating
the improvement Of individual MEM
bers of the class.
Third Of Pupils Underweight.
A special nutrition study of chill
dren in the graded schools was made
last year by the medical inspectors
and nurses, and it was ascertained
that nearly one-third Of the pupils
were 10 per cent or more under
weight.
THE child underweight from seven
to ten pounds or more" said DR.. Muir
ply today. sis because 1t has some
physical defect or defects or other
causes. Underweight children can be
found in all types Of homes. They
can only be brought up to par by
adopting proper health habits and by
correcting their defects. Children OF
normal weight are much healthier
and happier than those underweight."
Need of Scales In School
DR.. Murphy emphasized the need of
scales in every school SO that the chill
dren could be weighed and measured
quarterly. and a report sent to their
parents showing their actual weight
and the amount they should weigh.
1t is the hope of DR.. Murphy to open
the special nutrition and hygiene
classes next fall in about six other
schools. Lack of funds. he indicated.
would make it impossible to organize
the clinics in all of the schools.
A prize of IS will be awarded the
pupil in the nutrition class at the
Thomson School who has shown the
greatest improvement in physical
condition at exercises at the school
Wednesday at noon. DR.. Murphy will
present the prize.
