Coast Guard Ordered to Act
Regardless of Three
Mile Limit.
Bx International News Service.

Despite indications that a strong
protest will be made by Great
Britain, orders have been issued
by Government officials here for
the United States Coast Guard to
ignore the three-mile limit when
there is specific proof that incom.
ing ships laden with liquor are
planning to unload it on American
shores.
The Coast Guard was put under
orders today to cruise out to a
limit of twelve miles. thus bringing
about an immediate application of
the twNve-mile limit tentatively
agreed upon between Great Britain
and the United States. The twelve
mile treaty, however, is not yet an
accomplished fact.

THE NURSE INSPECTS
County Nurse Finds Many
Children Need Immediate
Attention.

The success of the work of a
County Nurse does not depend on
the number of schools visited, nor
the number of children inspected,
but upon the cooperation of the
parents in correcting the defects.
Inspection of school is valueless,
unless these defects are corrected.
We know we have these defects in
every school; the question is, are
we going to cooperate with the
nurses and physicians and better
these conditions.
