There rem1ins another subject
which so far has not engaged our
attention, anc that is the subject Of
land armament or military forces.
so far as the army of the United
States is concerned no question Is
presented. 1t has always been the
policy of the United States--it is it's
traditional policy-tc have the reg
ular military establishment upon the
smallest possible basis. At the time
OF the armistice there were In the
field and in training in the Ameri-
can army upwards of 100000 men.
At once upon the signing of the
armistice Rehabilitation began and
1T was practically complete in the
course of the following year, and TO-
day our regular establishment num-
bers less than 100000 men.
Realize Difficulties
while, however, we have this
gratifying condition with respect to
the military forces of the United
States. we fully recognize the special
difficulties that exist with respect
to military forces abroad We fully
understand the apprehensions that
exist, their bases and also the es-
sential conditions OF national securi-
ty which must appeal to all the pow

1T Is regarded as fitting at this
time that there should be the freest
opportunity for the presentation of
views upon this subject of land arm
ament or military forces by tho dele
gates present and It is the wish of
all delegates that the considerations
that are pertinent and full explana-
ton of all the conditions that exist
that bear upon the matter should be
had and that all of the delegates OF
the governments represented here
should have opportunity to present
fully the matters which they think
should be understood by the confer

food and water clean.
Today we know astounding facts
about the power OF germs and how to
keep well. but there is nothing to show
that instinct has been urging every
body to eat plenty of yitamines all
along.
KEEPING WE'LL A SCIENCE
Most of our health rules are based
on facts that scientists and doctors
have spent years in determining. In
order to make tncse rules habits It
Is necessary to make them popular.
In the schools. the spirit of COMPETE
ton achieves what rules could not.
The Bureau of Education has found
that children become intensely inter-
ested in records for neatness. keeping
health rules. and bringing themselves
up to a high standard of health. This
Is regarded as encouraging.
The difficulty Is that not all the
children are being reached. Even with
interest in health keener. than 1t has
ever been, there are several rural dis
tricts where the children do not have
any physical training ut all. And not
all city schools are working to raise
the health standards OF individual PIT
pills. There is no one to tell children
that they are underweight from eating
too little fruit and milk, or that they
arc slow in learning because they do
not get enough sleep.
Commissioner of Education Tigert
believes that all of these schools should
be giving time to health teaching.
Something is wrong with a school sys-
tenn that turns out stoop-shouldered
and undcrfed graduates
1T is admitted by every one that
nothing in life Is worth while without
health" says Mr.. Tigert.
we have long taught the theory Of
health in the schools thru courses in
physiology. We are combating disease
and defects thru school doctors and
school nurses. But We have only late
" come to see that 1t is the daily prac-
tice of health habits which is import
ant, and that 1t Ia the duty of the pub
lie schools to give to every child this
foundation for personal success and
value as a citizen.
OUR Low STANDARD OF HEALTH
That the health standard of the ma
ton does need raising. and must be
raised in some way was shown by the

A normal child gains weight with
more or less regularity, and should
weigh somewhere near the standard
for his age and height.
Children who weigh as much as 10
per cent below the figure set as a
standard for their age and height are
sub-normaI physically. A'child who is
not more than Is per cent heavier than
the standard is probably healthy, and
has a reserve OF strength that is de-
sirable. Weight more than 10 per

overweight, and generally implies some

If properly understood and properly respected it may
well be considered to mark important step in the
industrial progress Of the people of the United States
The main purpose Of the railroads of the United
States is to the public needs, that is, to supply
transportation and freight for the people Of the United
States 1t is not their primary object to make divi
dends for their Stockholders to make jobs pay
wages for their employees. The people Of the United
States have right to insist upon uninterrupted rail
road service, and in Of necessity they have the
right, and the peoples government has the duty, to
take such necessary to protect the rights
of the people,
This primary principle is better and generally
understood in the United States today than BEFORE
and if result Of recent experience it is generally
accepted by all parties concerned great step will have
been gained
The union leaders deserve large measure Of credit
for calling off the strike 1t is wise who knows
when he is whipped, and it is a of courage who
backs out Of difficulty when it becomes impossible to
force his way thru it.
1t is easy to see that the strike ought not to
have been called and it is fair presumption that the
unions would have voted for strike if the leaders
had not desired that kind of vote But it should be
remembered that union officials chosen to look after
the interests of the unions and not the interests of the
general public and union leader could hold his place
if he did make union interests his chief
No union leader would have felt justified in calling off
the strike unless he felt that union members would
approve such action.

workers apply with equal force to the railroad
