WEIGHT OfC1llDREN 5.;.
INDICATOR OF HEALTH
Reports on Weight of School
Children Sent to Homes
SO Of Bemid il Pupils

Reports on. the weight of school
children are now being sent to the
homes by the schools and an effort
is being made to get the children
interested in their own health habits
and rowth and to find out which,
children are definitely underweight
and so need medical attention. 1t
is desired that the parents know more
about the significance to be attached
to underweight as an indication of
health conditions.
The report of Miss Lois Daily,
public school nurse, for the month
of September shows total of 1892
pupils weighed OF these 1877, or
i11.6 per cent were found to be from
q to 10 per cent under, weight; 1853,
or IA per cent, from 10 to 20 per
cent under weight; 49,, or IL per
cent, more than 20 per cent under
weight, "a, or FL per cent, more
than 20 per cent over weight. This
gives total percentage of 1913 off
weight, either over or under. These
figures included the Central, North,
East and Lincoln schools.
/ To be slightly under weight means
nothing, states Miss Daily, but for
your boy or girl to be as much as
10 per cent of the average weight
underweight means that careful in
quiry should be made to detirmine
whether or not there are other evil
,Jopoas sc ,,r Il orv o,,ri y ~ oo% owl M a -
health, habits. This responsibility,
she says, is not met simply by taking
the child to physician. 1t means
also careful attention to- the forma-s
Iion Of correct health habits in the
home. '
"The child with the margin if safe
ty, is per cent above or 10 percent
below the average weight for child
Eof his height and age, should be en-,
couraged to maintain it. Those be-
low this 10 per cent range should be
stimulated ,to=.form. better health
habits. and SO to gain steadily in
weight. If your child is not over
Is per cent above average weight, it
lis not an indication that need give you
concern. 1t is money in the bank.
A reasonable percentage over weight
as the child approaches the period Of
adolescence is considered a physical
advantage if such overweight is not
due to soft, f1abby fat and wrong
health habits. If there is no other
important evidence of under-nourish-
ment than underweight, THIS condi-
ton may sometime be a family char
acteristic or race characteristic"

off this loss could have been prevent

Oils and gasoline take their an

of war between Great Britain and
Turkey in the Near East has been
averted through the peace proposal
of Mustapha Renal, the French for
eign office believed. It was their
opinion that the English government
would accept a proposal of Musta-
pha, leader of the Turkish national
lists, that a preliminary peace parley
be held in Mudani, Asia Minor, to-
morrow. . 49,. IL
The French government accepted
the Kemalist plan Immediately after
it had been informed Of it by Yusef
Renal, the Turkish foreign minister.
Yusef's communication was relayed
to the governments at Rome and Lon
don and France. The plan may be
summarized as follows:
First: That representatives of Tur-
key, Great Britain, France, Italy and
Greece meet at Mudania Tuesday for
preliminary peace conference, at
which it is hoped that an immediate
armistice can be reached and a. basis
for final peace conference, to be
held about October 9Th, worked
out. ~ y Eli VT e. :t,-4
