DO NOT FORGET TO
SEND YOUR DOLLAR
FOR HEALTH SEALS

According 70 Mrs. Bales Il.
Walker. county chairman of the
Imperial County tuberculosis Com
mittee in charge of the 1924 Christ
mas seal sale, reports that the sale
of seals is coming along very sat
isfactorily. However. she draws
attention to the fact that hundreds
of persons who have received the
stamps through the mail have failed,
as vet, to respond with their dollar,
and feels that in most cases it IS
through negligence and the pre-
Christmas rush of other duties.
More than 1000 letters nave gone
out to various parts of the coun-
ty.~ and in some case remittanees
ara coming i'll for as high as five
dollars. as no individual is restrict
ed to a dollaris worth alonc- N
The committee held a meeting. al
the home of Mrs. Walker yesterday
and laid tentative plans for their
activities during the coming year.
As the greater part of the money
derived from the sale of seals stays
right in Imperial County III tn"
hands of the committee, to be
used in carrying on the war against
tuberculosis in this section, much
good will doubtless be accomplished
during 1925.
The members of tha committee
plan to appear before the supervi-
sors in January and ask for eoun-
" nurse under the Shepard Towner
act, which provides that the state
pay her salary and the county give
aud maintain a car for her use. An
other pfojcct which will receive con-
siderable attention from tho COM
mittcc is infant welfare work, as
statistics here reveal an alarming
infant mortality, a condition which
can be greatly allcviatcd by the ac-
tivitics of an actiYc committee, it
( is maintained.

House.

The American Navy is in a de
plorable condition" and is weaker
than Great Britain's and Japan's,
Representative Britten of Illinois,
ranking Republican on the House
naval committee, declared yesterday in
the House.
Mr. Britten said the actual ratio
was 5-3-2, with the United States

a recent report by Secretary Will

with this country in second place,
as against the treaty ratio Of 5-5-3
The Illinois member announced
that Wednesday the committee
planned to call up the construction
bill, which, he said, would "at least
establish a 5-4-3 standing. He will
ask for amendment of the bill to
provide $6,5Oo,o00 for elevation of
guns on battleships, as requested by
