The Massachusetts, department Of
health for three years has been try
ing to determine the relationship of
underweight to disease, and to COM
plete ten-year program pointing
toward the building up Of strong
citizens.
Fifty thousand children have been
. examined, the examination including
weighing and measuring, the record
ing of the temperature, and careful
study Of the nose, throat and lungs.
If suspicious signs were found, ad-
ditional examinations, including the
tuberculin test and X-rays of chest,
were made.
In City and Country
It was found that city children
and country" children were about
equal in the observations made in
this investigation. Furthermore
the amount of tuberculosis in boys
and girls was about the same, al
though many more girls at the ages
Of IL to Is were found to be under
weight and to have tuberculosis in
the glands near the lungs than did
boys of the same age.
Malnutrition did not appear to the
Investigators to be SO much cause

ated with it, perhaps as a result OF

write the department here and it will
send you application blanks along
with information about the examina-

The first thing to do, however, is
to find out what sort of license you
require. You must have plane at
your disposal, for the examination
includes practical flying tests.
Anyone over 16 and physically fit
does not require license if he
merely intends to fly for pleasure
although his plane must carry visible
naturalization marks.
Whenever one intends to enter
commercial flying which will take

mental test, physical test and prac-

The extra month stretched to
two, then three. Still Roen kept
the child. The house was filled
with him-with his shouts, with
his toys. with his food cooking
and his clothes drying.
She longed for 4 o'clock. She
hurried eagerly home, coming
through the alleyway to the
garden. Here, all the sunny
afternoon, Ulla, the, little German
nurse, played with him.
Roen called abruptly: "Billie!"
He would stop running, stare at
her fixedly, waiting till she
reached his side. Then he would
smile and for the rest Of the da,y

But she went recllessly on with
the plan. She had the baby's crib
and all his clothes moved to the

him in the living room because of
the sun and the fragrant air.
What is she letting you in

the strange new order in the big
room. ''She has a hell of a

Evelyn, with her suitcase

be better off, Ron, than with me

That night Roen didn't close
her eyes. She was afraid the
baby might pull the blankets over
his head and smother.

she put him IN the tub for his
