would restrict the amount to less than

Z Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming of the
y United States Public Health Service
praised the association for it's sup
Z port of the Governments health
agency in reducing the disease

. death rate for tuberculosis per 100, 900
last year was 1856 persons, while
: for the previous year it was 201.9
persons. Gen. Cumming also gave
: figures for other large cities, in each
of which the decrease in the number
of fatalities were substantially the
same as Washington.
Physical Examination Important.
Importance of early physical exami-
snation for children was cited by DR..
Joseph A. Murphy, chief medical in
spector for the public schools. He
favored a periodic physical examina-
tion of all children in the presence of
their parents, SO that defects may be
pointed out and suggestions made for
their elimination. DR.. Hugh J. Davis
soutlined the health building program
4 as applied to the pre-school child.
: Describing the history of the open
air school movement, Selden NJ Ely,
supervising principal of the fifth divi-
sion, declared there, is need for at
' least one such school in each school
division. DR.. George M. Kober, dean

cal College and president of this as

rapidly increasing population of
Washington, the number of tubercu-
lous children in the open-air schools
remains the same.

The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-12-18

Legislators will return to the Capital
with a more complete knowledge of
what their constituents want. In other
words, it is believed that they will
be criticized for their failure to en-
act any helpful legislation in the last
three weeks, and will settle down to
business.
Those charged with the response
bility for Legislative activity have
worked hard during the last three
weeks without material results. For

instance, Senator Curtis, the Repub
lican leader, has frankly admitte,
that some of his associates / shift,
and sanguinary. In the House Con.
gresham Longworth reports similar
difficulties. The Democratic leaders
have also counted noses to deter
mine the dependability of their col
leagues in partisan voting.
Too Many Promises
Talks with these leaders show that
the average legislator is now con-
fronted with the need for decisions.
He must make a choice in keeping
prediction pledges. For instance,
there are numerous members of the
Senate and House who were elected
on promises to support President
Coolidge in his administrative policies
Many of these men find themselves
in a quandary because of previous
pledges to various groups. 1t is a very
embarrassing situation. Spokesman
for the administration point to their
promise to uphold the President, if
elected, while others insist that
pledges given at the last session
should be fulfilled before the adj
journment of Congress. Of the few
who have definitely decided to retire
voluntarily from public life a move
one way or another is of relatively
little Importance. Tie great ma
lority remaining over as a result of
5he election know full well that the
administration holds the key to
heir political future. The average
congressman prides himself upon his
to corner Federal patronage
or his constituents. They know that
heir chances r lessened by voting
administration plans. 1t is
political rule which has prevailed
ince the foundation of the Republic.
Washington Amused
Official Washington is laughing
at the spectacle presented
those seeking high offices. 1t is I
custom to provide political berths ,
or those who failed of reelection, :
specially of they served the domin-
ting party faithfully.
1t is the old story of the ''lame =
uck' an his place in public affairs. +

est to suit their opinions to circum- :

appointment. Already an imposing
list OF senator's and congressman have
been suggested for high honors. The
The problem is to find the jobs for
the deserving few. Some of the SEN
ators who have large personal for
tunes are quite willing that the Presi-
dent should appoint them to diplo-
matte posts. Others in less prosper
Gus circumstances would be grateful
for any Federal job carrying a title
and substantial salary.
Commission Trouble
There is some talk of a ~reorgani-
cation Of the personal of the Federal
Trade Commission and the Tariff
Commission. These two groups have
been a source of trouble to the adj
ministration for considerable time. 1t
is expected that within a few months
Mr.. Coolidge will enforce a plan
which will make the commissions
more effective. The law creating
the Federal Trade Commission re-
quires that at least two members shall
be OF the minority political party.
There is proposal to transfer the
Shipping Board to the Department
of Commerce. The Smoot bill for
reorganization of Federal depart
ments creates a Merchant Marine
Bureau in the Department of Com
merce. While it does not specifically
abolish he Shipping Board and con-
that body's duties on this new
bureau, it is said that a simple
amendment would accomplish this
purpose.
The growing evidence of prosper
ty will undoubtedly reduce attempts
o enact legislative "cure-alls." The
American Bankers association meet
ng here this week reported a general
confidence in the sound conditions of
he nation with prospects favorable
or expanding prosperity. They said
particularly encouraging sign is
hat this spirit of optimism is tenn
cred by an attitude of judicious
Restoring Silver Money
1t is interesting to note that the
treasury is %endeavoring to restore /
he standard silver to the place which
formerly held in the currency
,ructure. In doing this the Treasury
actuated by two motives; first, to
improve the quality of the paper
.oney, particularly in in the one
ollar denomination; and to effect
this way a material saving in the
lpense of supplying the country
18th fit currency. The cost to the
overnment of manufacturing and
in circulation a one-dollar
IL is II cents. The treasury says
at it is evident that if a months =
pply of silver dollars, which have
almost indefinite life, can take
e place of ar equal amout of paper :
liars, and annual saving of about :
e million dollars will accrue to the
Ternment. The Treasury desires ="
put in circulation about 100000
} silver dollars. In the far west ~
so-called "cartwheel" has always
n popular but in the midwest and 81
t the paper dollar is preferable.
