Health Habits for Children.

Health instruction and it's result in
the formation of habits, is the sub
ject of a daily record of health habits
for every child in the schools of Wash
ington, d. c., according to the United
States bureau of education. Blanks are
marked after the morning daily in
spection by the teacher. Each school
day a mark is given for the pupils
observance of such habits as brushing
the teeth, carrying a handkerchief,
keeping a good posture, takings thir-
ty minutes physical exercise. Thirteen
health habits are noted. At the end
of a month a rating is given to cor
respond with the daily record, and the
sheet is sent home folded around the
report card, to be signed by the pa
rent and returned. 1t is expected thus
to secure the cooperation of the home
in intoxicating health habits. Children
showing extreme neglect are referred
to the school nurse.

OF COMMERCE MEETING
TONIGHT AT WILDWOOD

The February meeting of the Cape
May County Chamber of Commerce
will be held in the Wildwood High
School Auditorium this Friday even
ing, February %, 1928. President
Luther C. Ogden, of Cape May, will
preside and Editor William A. Haffert,
of Sea Isle City, will perform his usual
s~ecretarial duties. The speakers will
be Wilson J. Vance, of Newark, secre-
tary of the New Jersey Chamber of
Commerce, whose topic will be, RE
gional Cooperation and Develop
ment," and County School Superin-
tendent E. r, Brunyate. The latter
will talk about a new bill before the
legislature which provides for the dis
tribution of state funds to the various
counties on a basis of attendance by
pupils instead of by tax ratabIes. 1t
is figured that Cape May County now
gets by the ratable method about
$4,000 more than it would if COM
puted on the basis of attendance. The
more populous counties want the law
changed because they have more chill
dren in school, while thousands of
houses at the shore resorts are closed
all winter and furnish no children to
go to school. The inland cities send
many more children to school and it
is very expensive for them to provide
buildings and other facilities. If a
comparison were made between the
school expenses of some inland city
and some seashore resort it might re-
veal a condition that would startle
some of us who live and own property
at the shore. 1t may be that the basis
of school attendance is right, equitable
and just for. all concerned. What will
it profit a county if it gain $40, 900 per
and lose its self respect?

at selected points within a city so as to greatly shorten the collection haul. While the dumping of refuse and garbage is still practiced by many American cities. 1t is prinni tive method. and usually the result of willingness to follow lines of least resistance. It should be re- garded as only a temporary expedi ent and not to be tolerated longer than is necessary to inaugurate more permanent and sanitary method. Improved service of this kind will usually involve greater outlay. it is true. but the benefits directly de- rived. together with the stimulating effect on civic pride, would seem to more than warrant the venture.
 "The proverbial and unsightly sar- bage dumps in Birmingham have served as the basis of many unavail- ing complaints and protests lodged with the board of health for many years, as well as the occasion for much bitter citieism directed toward the city hall. Responsible members of many successive city governments have given much time and serious thought to the disposal of the citys refuse and much data gathered from time to tme, which should have any consideration as to improve ments. Few administrations have held forth at the city hall without having their attenion drawn strongly to the garbage situation by the board of health very early after their ad ministration.
 Let us hope that the public will encourage and assist the city com mission and enable it to permanently solve the disposal problem"

Seven Hundred On Lists Goal In Campaign Start
 ina Monday

The Birmingham Athletic club, one of the citys oldest organizations, and one founded in the early days of the Birmingham boom. starts an ex- pansion campaign Monday. according to an announcement by President Karl Landgrebe. The general plan, said MT. Landgrebe, "is to make a greater B. A. c. to take care of a greater Birmingha m. v
 In line with this campaign new members will be taken into the or ganization. the waiting list of the present absorbed and the initiation fee abolished until the club reaches it's goal of TOO members
 In speaking of the campaign, spon sored by the committee in charge and the board of governors. Secretary J. M. Roberts Saturday stated. 'The quota of members of the B. A. C. has remained at 350 for some time. This was all that was necessary in the old days before Birmingham had grown tG her present population. Now. however, with Birmingham the real metropolitan city of the south it would be selfish to hold the quota dOWn. when there are so many men eligible for membership and eager to get on the roll. Because of this and also by virtue of the fact that we are contemplating many improvements at the club and installation of new flea lures. it was decided to boost the quota, absorb the waiting list and annul the initiation fee until the TOO mark had been reached"
 The B. A. c. came into being in the year 1SSS when J. F. Ross. an ath- lete of renoWn at that time. started the move and championed the or ganization until It became a reality. It has remained in existence ever since, weathering financial drouths that swept over the entire land, com ing through vicissitudes at times but always plugging, fighting and sponsoring any move that would work for the civic betterment of Bir- mingham.
 Present officers are Karl Land grebe. president; Herbert Cobbs, vice president. and J. NJ Roberts. secre- tary- treasurer. The board of gover- nors is made up of the following c. w. Streit, Jr Octavus Roy Cohen. Dr. H. r. Hanna, Willard Drake. C. M. Schill, Capt. J. P. Phillips and Ben Cheeseman.
 The crub has brought some of the biggest athletic conventions of the Amateur Athletic union to Birming- ham. and has sent representatives to other cities, where they distinguished them selves by winning honors against the best athletes America has to offer.
