years added to the average expectan-
cy of human life during the last
twenty years and the cutting of the

activities. DIR. George E. Vincent.
president of the Rockefeller Founda-
| tion of New York city, said in an ad-
dress before the American Child
Health Association last night. This
country, DR.. Vincent told the associa-
tion, has made important scientific
! and technicaI contributions to the
campaign to prevent disease and in
many ways has become leader in
the crusade for better health.
The work was at first carried on,
| the speaker said. by government
agencies and by numerous unofficial
associations which have been organ
. ICED. At times, DIR. Vincent said, there
has been overlapping or neglect of
certain fields. and workers sometimes
have been amateurish, unframed and
inexperienced, but these defects are
being steadily remedied.
Child Health Association adapts it
self admirably to the general public
health movement In the United
States" Dr. Vincent said. THE as
sociation, not satisfied with existing
knowledge. proposes to press upon
scientific investigation problems of
nutrition. growth, weight and height;
questions of dental and other defects;
in short to make sure that the pro-
grams do not outrun or contravene
well tested scientific truth"

star was not on the program of the

Detroit public school children were
giving a demonstration of their
health program he visited the as
sociation meeting and spoke to the
children regarding the necessity for
sound bodies Chaplin told the chill
dren that he was going back to the
making of comedies.
