CHILD DEATHS CAUSED
BY INSANITARY SCHOOLS.
Statistics Prove Laxity in School
Sanitation Dangerous; Issue
= Warnings to Authorities.

d, Washington, April 24.-The health
authorities in the Nations capital
have sounded a warning to all school
authorities everywhere regarding in
sanitary conditions in schools. Bas-
ing this warning upon mortality stat
istics, the Washington health office
quotes reliable figures to prove the
contention that the death rate in
school children is largely affected by
school conditions.
The mortality tables of the United
states show that the death rate of
children decreases rapidly from the
age of 1 year, in which it is very
high, to the age of 5 and s, when it
becomes very low. The child at
these ages enters school, and the
mortality rate Immediately Increases
until the age of II is reached. At
this age the death rate alrnost equals
that of the child l year old.
This waste of life, health experts
explain, could be reduced so per cent,
which would increase the average span
of life of an American, which is now
SO years, to possibly 4s or so years.
The increase in the death rate from
the time the child enters school is
attributable to school life OF group
association.

Tobacco to be Standardized.

Active steps looking toward the
Standardization of tobacco have been
taken by the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates. F. B. Wilkinson,
who is in charge of the work, has ar
ranged with a number of lnanufactur-
ers and dealers to furnish samples
cf the numerous grades now used
commercially in different localities.
These samples will be studied and
classified with view to working out
standards or perr1iSsive use by the
trade. The PRONUNCIATION OF such
standards will also aid in the adoption
of a common language understood by

American Legion Notes.

During the past few months the
American Legion at Toledo, o., has
caused 80 persons to be put in Jail
for falsely collecting funds for sick
and wounded world war veterans, OBJ
tained the release from Jail of seven
ex soldiers, found jobs for 1,O57 more
and conducted 1875 military funerals.
Large numbers of ex-soldiers who
arc suffering from shell shock are
looking for work in New York city.
The American Legion obtained work
for one but he got into such a heat
ed argument with the rlan who was
hiring him that the Legion had to
take him away and arrange FOR his
commitment in a government hospi-
tai.
"A tract of land along the Potomac
river has been turned over to the
American Legion and other veterans
organizations for use as a summer
camp for the hundreds of disabled
ex-sevice men from Maryland and
West Virginia who are now confined
in the four government hospitals at
Washington, D. C.
News reaches some places quicker
than it does others. The American
Legion has received a letter from a
world war veteran who says, II un-
Gerstand the government is giving US
adjusted compensation with the option
of taking land or money. I've just
discovered an island in the st. Law
renee river that I want, SO tell the
Government I'll take that"
Jobless and without money, F. w.
Smith of Omaha, Neb., ex-soldier and
head of a family Of three, grasped at
the chance for "work" offered by the
American Legion employment service
and sold a pint of his blood for s25.
By his act Smith saved the life OF
Edward Belitz, Belgrade, Neb., farm
err, who had been severely injured.
Ten dollars for each months serv-
ice, with 25 per cent. additional for
overseas service, is to be paid world
war veterans of Maryland under the
provisions of bill (which passed the
provisions cf bill which passed the
only four dissenting votes. The act
provides for a s9,000,000 bond issue,
to be passed on by the people.
When state officials of the Ameri-
can Legion in West Virginia heard
that several ex-service mems orgaM-
cations were considering asking Jack
Dempsey to appear before them, they
issued a statement which refused sane
ton to any affair to which the worlds
boxing champion might be invited.

WASHINGTON COMMENT.

More than one editor has asked,
seriously, "Is the National House OF
Representatives q. joke?" And more
than one national representative has
bitterly resented the query. Admit
ting that there are many good and
able men, clear thinkers, forcetul
workers, in the house, it is neverthe-
less inevitable that the house as
whole stands up under very biting
criticism when it passes legislation
up to the senate in the comfortable
assurance that the senate will not
make it into law.
There is but one reason for such
action on the part of the house, and
that is fear of "the folks back home" :"
But the "folks back home" are by
no means the backwoods men and
women Of generation ago. The pub
lie school, the movie, the trolley, the
automobile, even the newspaper, at
ford the man far from the city as
good a chance to know end to think
as his urba- brother.
Hence, when the house passes a
bill to depart all aliens violating the
Volstead law or the narcotic law, it
says to the folks back home, "Th!s
will please you, because you believe
in anti-narcotic laws and prohibition
laws"
But will it? Common-sense justice
is inherent in most Americans. We
all like to see fair play. Is it fair
play to admit an alien and tell him
1--WE have one law for ourselves and
another for you; if you take a drink,
we deport you; if we take a drink,
we pay a fine; if you sell opium, back
home you 60; if we sell opium, we
pay a fine?"
How can we teach aliens American
Justice if our house passes bill evl-
IDENTIFY unjust?
Let US pass all the antilaws we, as
q people, want. But let US make the
penalty for their infraction the same
for rich and poor, American and for
eign, white and black.
