CHILD HEAL TIL DAY
PLANS UNDER WAY
Physicians Offer Services
Here-ChuTcheS Asked
to Make Appeal.

With churches asked to bring Child
Health day directly to the Sunday
school and church services of Wash
ington on May l. the physicians hav-
ing already offered their services for
examination of children at welfare
clinics and in three schools on April
80, plans for observance of this oc-
casion this year are going ahead with
rapid strides.
DIR. Hugh J. Davis, chairman of the
Washington committee, has announced
that local plans are we'll under way.
The American Child Health Associa-
ton has made public from its New
York City headquarters an appeal for
observance by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, president of the as
sociation.
Fifty thousand churches of all de-
nominations of the country are laying
plans for the celebration, said the New
York headquarters statement credited
to Secretary Hoover.
Appeal Made by Hoover
Physicians will be located here in
the city's child hygiene clinics, at the
child welfare clinic of Children's Hos
pital, and at the John Burroughs,
Tenleytowp, and Miner Normal
schools, on Saturday, April 30. it was
announced by DR.. Davis.
In his Nationwide appeal Secretary
Hoover said:
"As National Health day falls on
Sunday this year, the American
sponsored National Child Health day,
has called into counsel the churches
of the country to ask them to join
forces with all the others who are
concerned with the conservation of
childhood.
so alive has the whole Nation be-
come to the problems of the physi-
cal we'll being of childhood that we
must now stress another and equally
important aspect of health-the full
and happy development of the child's
spirit.
Churches Council Joins.
"Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, president OF
the Federal Council of Churches, has
called upon all the churches of
Christendom to join heartily in the
observance and in the Interpretation
of the meaning of the Childs Bill of
Rights to the life of the Nation. The
New York City Federation of
Churches has sent suggestions for
Child Health day observance to the
1,500 Protestant Churches of the city.
Cardinal Hayes has said that in
drawing the attention of the Nation
to the necessity of spiritual as well
as physical fitness in children, we
shall truly be building for the future.
Other Denominations Aid.
Archbishop Hanna, speaking as
chairman of the executive council of
bishops or the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, pledges the
active cooperation of the Catholic
Church in establishing the day, and
adds, I can think of nothing more
beneficial to the whole Nation than
placing before the people once in the
year the Importance Of caring for
the physical as well as the spiritual
we'll being of our children
Bishop John G. Murray of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States, hopes that a spiritual
message may be carried into the
hearts of all children
MANY Jewish churches will have
special exercises, and the Mormon
Church in Utah will withdraw the
regular Sunday school lesson on May
/, giving instead to it's 100000 chill
dren a lesson on the spiritual as
poets Of physical well-being."

American Diplomatic Service $ Record
Of Literary Achievement Seems at Ind

mendously that they find little time
for outside interests. 1t is possible
now that the tradition will come to an
end among Americas representatives
abroad, as foreign service has become
a lob much better suited to scientif-
cally trained economists and efficiency
engineers.
The consular service has had some
very brilliant literary lights. William
Dean Howells' service as consul in
Venice from 1860 to 1865 gave him
material for much of his best work.
While Bret Harte was serving as con-
sui at Crefeld, Germany, and later at
Glasgow, his pen was always busy.
George Agnew Chamberlain, Kenyon
Gambler and George Horton, all of
whom are now out of the consular
service, and Norval Richardson, until
recently a member of the diplomatic
service, are well known novelists who
are now giving their entire time to
writing.
