WASHINGTON fg IiI;1iSs
LETTERAsgl.
By HARRY B MUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
real test Of Calvin Coolidge as an
executive will come during the next
four weeks.
For between now and the recess
or adjournment Of Congress, prior
to the Cleveland convention at
which Coolidge viii be renominated
as G. Q. z. standard bearer, he
must go on record definitely, ia
black and white, as approving or
rejecting the major works Of this
session OF Congress. These are:
The soldiers bonus.
The immigration bill.
A new revenue bill.
His action on each of these bills
will become an issue Of prime I'M
portance in the fight for and
against his reelection.
If ne signs the bills in their
present form he will reverse him
self on all of them. That is not
likely.
If he vetoes them, he will in each
instance align against him an active
group which will work diligently to.
defeat his reelection.
The bonus bill seems slated for
certain veto. The maioorities by
which it passed both House and
Senate, however, forecast as GER
tain an enactment over his veto.
Any member of Senate or House
who had the temerity to switch his
vote following the veto would find
his path for reelection enfila1ed
by American Legion sharpshooters
and made mighty dangerous if not
impossible.
On the immigration bill, feverisn
efforts are being made to effect
an outside agreement with Japan
which will insure Japaneses exclu-
sion and justify removal of tha
Jap prohibition clause from the
bill. Both Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes hope this can be done. In
the meantime, while these efforts
are under way, the bill will be held
in conference"
If this cannot be effected. here,
500. veto is probable. And a veto
without satisfactory diplomatic
arrangement" would be as certain
Of being overidden by two-thirds
vote in Congress as would the ben
US bill.
On taxes, Coolidge must accept
the Democratic Progressive coali-
zion bill or elect to take none al
all.
Here will be the real test.
The bonus and immigration bills
are impersonaI TO the vast majority
Of voters. The tax bill hits the
pocket nerve Of every man and VIC

FISH And GAME LAWS
MAY SOON Be CHAINED
Greater Protection Sought For
Oyster and Prawn Fisheries
By Twitty

ATLANTA, May ID. State
Game and Fish Commissioner Peter
S. Twitty returned to his office
Monday after a week spent investi-
eating conditions among oyster and
prawn fishers and packers of the
South Georgia coast. While he
was in Brunswick last week, Mr..
Twitty was present at the organiza-
ton meeting of an oyster and
prawn packers association and the
commissioner anticipates great
betterment in the FISH industry on
the coast as result.
A meeting of a subcommittee Of
the legislative committee on game
and fish will be held in Mr.. .Twit-
tvs office on June 5, he stated, at
which time an effort will be made
to draft a bill making numerous
changes in state laws.
By these changes it is hoped to
afford greater protection to the
oyster and prawn packers and to
require them to replant the beds
along the coast.
Declaring that Georgia has a
source of4untold wealth in her sea
food industries, but that the fail
ure to replant beds is fast running
Them Commissioner T,yi+t,- ro;,,+e
out that, while Maryland received
$156,OO0 from its fishing industry
last year, Virginia $4,000, and
North Carolina $98,00O, Georgia
received only $4,845, largely caus-
ed by failure to repIant and lack Of
proper state laws.

man who will go to the polls in No
vember. A veto which would post
pone tax reduction for a year
would hand to the opposition a
powerful campaign bludgeon.
But approval of bill which he
had publicly branded as unscientlf-
ic and ineffective would invite
criticism perhaps as damaging.
The manner in which Coolidge
handles these three measures Will
furnish a good gauge for measlr-
ing his backbone, his adherence to
principle and his susceptibility to
pressure and to expedience.
They will determine definitely
the measure Of his GOODNESS and his
caution, and perhaps decide wheth-
er he will continue to execute"
after March a, next, or whether
he will be executed on Nov. a.

That's why the ears Of party
leaders among both the Democrats

For about a month there has
been a suspicious quiet with respect

Undernourished Children
Are Rare in Cunnison
Further Account of Statement by DIR
John Forbes in Paonian
Continued from Last Week.

CONTINUED from Last Week.
An undernourished child is a Grip
Piled child; he is potentially sick
child The child may be good in his
lessons, he may be good in sports,
but he cannot reach his maximum
strength and he carries heavy mort
gage on his future years.
Undernourishment is usually taken
for granted. Heredity is a convent
ent explanation for "skinniness," bu.
the family tree with slender branches
is no longer an alibi.
II took the war to bring US to our
senses. The draft boards found one
fourth of our men unfit for service,
and the same is true Of children.
undenourishment is correctible in
children but not in adults The tuber-
culosis organizations have now found
that the fight against malnutrition is
their fight. and il malnutrition is
overcome there will be no foothold for
tuberculosis in the next generation,
and hundred other enemies of child.
ren will be conquered. We have n
right to expect that the span of life.
increased Is years in the last half
century, will be enlarged and that
our stature will be increased.
The real reasons for malnutrition
are:
I. Physical defects-tonsils, ade-
noids, bad teeth, heart LESSONS and the
like.
g Lack of home control-the in
ability of parents to see that a child
follows definite health program.
8. Over fatigue, and this is most
important, school work coupled with
chores, dances, movies and amuse-
ments of our changing social system
which keep children up late, demand
that children get plenty of rest. There
should be an hours rest during the
day and plenty of sleep at night.
4. Lack of milk drinking. Too
much coffee and tea drinking.
At Gunnison we found that only 2s
per cent of malnutrition. and it is a
striking fact that only two of those
examined fail to drink milk regularly.
Diphtheria in Colorado has increas-
ed rapidly in the last few years. In
Denver stringent rules, heightened
guarantees and use of antitoxin and
the new toxin antitoxin are being en-
couraged.
Antitoxin protects for month or
six weeks and it cures miraculously,
while being absolutely harmless.
Greater cognizance of diphtheria
should be taken in public health work.
Its onset is insidious, for the child
frequently fails to complain of its
throat and goes around with diph-
theriai until it is too sick: then often
the ailment is mistaken for tonsilitis
and parents fal to call doctor. When
child's throat is sore, it should be
examined by doctor.
Two-thirds of the deaths from
diphtheria occur in cults where par
ents neglect to call doctor.
