All For Health.

Here's the latest news from Gov
ernor Richie" the Health Gnome re-
marked as he stopped at the State
Department of Health for brief
visit. "Two important items" he con-
tinued.
"First: His Excellency has issued a
proclamation, all signed and sealed,
setting aside the first of May as Child
Health Day in the sovereign state of
Maryland.
secondhand pay good heed to
this-the Governor will go on the air
("that's official English for broadcast
ing" he explained, Jon Friday even
ing before May Day, from station
VIDAL in Baltimore City, between six
and six-thirty, and will tell the
grown-ups about health in Maryland,
particularly the health of the child
rem.
81 understand" he went on, "that
a plan is being worked out so that
all the children who will begin going
to school next fall, are gotten ready
for tin a healthy way-during the
summer. Maybe he will say something
about that.
Beginning with Governor Richie
as our top-liner, we are going to have
an all-star program for Child Health
Day in Maryland" the Health Gnome
continued, twirling his little green
cap. "All sorts of pleasant things
have been planned for the children,
with some more serious ones for the
grown-ups. For the special benefit of
the Sandman Circle and other young
radio fans, Hazel Knox will broadcast
May Day songs and stories, from
VIDAL, on Thursday evening, April
20, and Monday, May 3, at six
o'clock. On other selected days in
May there will be stories by leaders
from the Playground Athletic League.
On Friday afternoon, April 80, nearly
every school will have something
special in the way Of songs, games,
plays, sports, or athletic events.
"There is too much for just one day,
so we have to begin, as you see, be-
fore May Day, and the exercises will
continue all through the month, and
so far as that is concerned, all
through the year. The round up of
the children so that they can enter
school 100 percent healthy will last
all the summer. That is one of the
jobs assigned to the grown-ups.
at does a lot of work to make
every day health day for the child
rem. This is surely my busy week, /"
the Health Gnome remarked, as he
gave final twirl to his jaunty little
cap. There was a flash of green and
once more he was out of sight.

CHILD HIDES PAY,
 FORGETS PLACE
Father of New York Family Now
 Up Against It

New York, June 25 P-Grace Dempsey of 1927 Willow avenue, Hoboken, is only three years old, but she caused as much excitement yesterday among the thirty families living in the apartment house in which her parents reside as might poWlegged girl in a Ziegfeld-show.
 IL all started when Henry Demp- sey, GraCe's father, turned his weeks wages Of $50 over to his wife to pay several bils. Mrs. Dempsey was busy and laid the $50 on the dining room table while she went out of the room for q moment.
 Along came Grace and spied the SoO. To a miss of three, $50 is a lot Of money, even in this advanced age, and Grace thought of the heaps of Christmas presents the money would buy next December. She took the $50 and hid it. With a hop skip and jump she went blithely off to see what other surprises the day held in store.
 A few moments later Mrs Demp- sey discovered her loss and oues- toned her daughter. Grace was non- p!ussed, as she might have said if she could pronounce such a big word, but she was also truthful and told her mother she had hidden the money.
 She led her parents to the hallway and pointed to spot under the hall rug. The money wasn't there. Grace pointed to another spot. II, too, was devoid of anything that even remote ly resembled $50. With rapid dim lnishing confidence, she led her dis tracted parents a third spot. The money wasn't there and everybody including Grace, realized that she couldn't remember where she had put it.
 Word of the Dempsey's loss quick | iy spread through the building and women, men and children joined in q treasure hunt, Their search was unavailing and in the afternoon Dempsey. who works nights, was sit ting glumly in his apartment think ! Ing the bills the $50 would have pad. Grace was on his knee, giving undivided attention to the consump- ton of an ice cream cone which her father had bought on the theory per maps that in a burst of confidence she might reveal the hiding place.
 Mrs. Dempsey was not around and HciShbors said she had gone out to LOOK for job to help her husband make up the loss.
