MAYS LANDING, N. J.,
Nov. 24.-There was a wide
diversity of opinion among
counsel for the State and the
prosecution today, as to whether
or not a new suspect in the
1illiendahl murder had been
identified by the accused
widow.
Plan Of Defense Attorney
Robert H. McCarter, former
State attorney general, and chief
counsel for Mrs. Margaret Lillien-
dahl, contended that she made
positive Identification and added
that when her trial begins next
Monday he will proceed with the
case from the point Of view that
the murder of her husband, DR.. A.
William Lilliendahl, was commit
ted by two negroes.
State To Charge Murder
Chief County Detective Harold
said the Identification was not
complete and that the State would
proceed at the trial with the orig.
inal intention of charging the
widow and Willis Beach with the
murder.
Meantime the movements Of
Alfonso Anderson, a negro prisoner,
who figured in the Identification
episode, are being subjected to
further scrutiny in spite Of his
apparently perfect alibi.
Anderson, who was arrested
earlier in the week in connection
with a hold-up in Jenl1intown. Pa,
was in a lineup Of eight masked
negroes paraded before Mrs. Lillien.

GETTING THEM READY TO
ENTER SCHOOL This FALL
Children's Health Conferences to
Be Conducted by State Board
of Health Representatives.

For the benefit of the small boys
and girls who reach school age this
year and who will be started on the
road to the three RS in the fall, chill
dren's health conferences at which
special attention will be given to the
prospective first graders will be held !
throughout the State during the sum-
mer under the auspices of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State De-
partment of Health.
Arrangements for these health ex-
aminations--thati is the purpose of the
conference.-the made through the
deputy State health officer or local |
health officer assisted by the public |
health nurse. A physician who has
special training in child care exam
ines the children and if conditions are
found that need correction, the mother
is urged to go to the family doctor or
dentist and have tonsils, teeth, or
whatever it may be, attended to with
out delay. All this is done in order
that the children may enter school
| in good health and free from the ham
dicaps that come from ill health or
from conditions which are responsible
for i'll health, such as undernourish-
ment, bad hearing, imperfect vision,
| decayed teeth or threats that need
! looking after.
All over the country health exam
| nations of the children before they
enter school are being made now, as
matter of course. And they have
proved to be both health conservers
and time savers, as the records of the
State Board of Education show that
children in good health actually COM
plete their school work more readily
and make better progress than those
who are hampered by bad eyes or dull
hearing or by some other unfavora-
BILE condition.
A complete and careful physical
examination is given to each child.
but particular attention is paid to GER
tain points" which have a special
bearing on the we'll being of the child.
Down in Missouri-where they have
reputation for looking into things
the State department of health judges
the health and fitness of its young cit
liens according to these six points:
Weight, Posture, Vision, Hearing,
Throat, Teeth.
The examination given the Mary
land children includes all of these but
goes the Missourians one better by
adding seventh point" to the series
vaccination against smallpox-for
without the evidences of a successful
vaccination no child may be received
at any public school in the State.
In making the announcements of
the health examinations, the State
Department of Health says to fathers.
and mothers of young children "Can
your small son or daughter who will
enter school in the fall make a salts
factory score on these seven health
points? To be quite on the safe side,
take him or her to your doctor or the
health conference in your neighbor-
hood and follow the advice that is
| given to you there"

To many who were present, espe-
cially to group of athletes who
starred in the olden days, Saturday
presented a wonderful opportunity
for the factories OF the city to band
together to stage what might rightly
be termed an industrial field day.
New Britain herald., 1927-09-19

The possibilities OF an affair OF
this character arc greater than can
be described. It could be made the
biggest day in the entire year with
very little expense to any individual
factory and the returns in good will
Of the employed men and women
would repay the factories a hundred
fold.
New Britain herald., 1927-09-19

Had the factory officials gotten to-
sether and taken a hand in the plan
ming of the affair. it Is almost a
certain thing that Willow Brook
park would have been crowded Sat
urday. The exciting events both III
track and field would have held I'M
lbated interest all throughout The
afternoon.

To keep the affair lively. a. band
could have been placed at the park
and a concert have been rendered
all afternoon and, most Of all, the
gates Of Memorial Field could have
been thrown open to the general
public and the day be made the big
sast OF the year.
