By the Associated Press.
Immediate consideration Of the Nc
Nary Haugen bill to exclusion of all
other farm relief measures was block
ed today in the House agricultural
committee.
After a heated discussion the COM
mittee decided to postpone consider
alton until Tuesday, January II. and
in the meantime take up the Aswell
relief bill. which does not include the
equalization fee principle.
Representative Adkins. Republican.
Illinois, led the fight for the McNary.
Haugen bill. declaring that its proyi-
sion for an equalization fee on basic
crops to be used in handling the sur
plus, was the only important farm
question before Congress.
Several other members, however.
held that the committee should per-
nit all those who have worked on
farm relief to present their views.
Adkins. commended that to delay con-
sideration would he a signal to the
country that farm relief had no
chance in this session. With the as
surance, however, that the McNary
Haugen bill would be considered next
Tuesday, he acceded to the desire for
general discussion during the balance

Jackson and started down X street,
warning all present not to move until
they were out of sight.
Jackson, however. stole out a back
door and followed the two men az far
as Eighth and / streets, where one of
them spied him and shot at him. Sum-
moning a passing taxicab, the bandits
leaped inside and slammed the door
after Jackson heard them peremptor-

The shooting at Eighth and l streets
resulted in a general call being sent
in for the police, bringing to the scene
a squad Of privates and several detec-

some clue to present itself, and then
disconsolately returned to their sta

About an hour later the two episodes

A sum of approximately 100000
was tentatively named by a special

the Washington Council of Social
! Agencies to be submitted for the APP
prevail of the former council in con-

recommended by it for improved
health facilities to be sought during

The final figures approved by the
advisory council after being Endorsed
by the agencies council, are to be
presented to President Coolidge, Con
sress the District Commissioners and
the Budget Bureau, in line with pro
gram of extensive public welfare facfl-
tiles to be sought through those aEen-
cies. The tentative program of i'm
provements to be asked for was in
dorsed at Il meeting under the aus
pieces Of the advisory council in the
Burlington Hotel December 29. This
program called for improvements un'
der the following general heads:
l. Child health. (a) The doubling
OF the personnel In the school medical
clans Instead of II part-time ones, as
at present. (b) A sanatorium for tu-
bercular children. (c) Increased APP
preparations for infant hygiene serv-

council of citizens.
Child Welfare Stressed.
Various phases of this program were
discussed at yesterdays meeting, with
particular emphasis being laid on the
necessity for adequate provisions Tor
school medical inspections and the
care OF children of pre-school age. The
establishment of four additional elm
les was recommended for the latter
purpose.
Mrs. Frank B. Noyes of the Child
Welfare Society stressed the need OF
the District Health Department being
enabled to maintain "a sufficient corps
of nurses to visit the homes of pre-
school children at least once month.
At present, she said, the corps OF
nurses under the department is large
enough to permit only an average OF
three visits a year to such homes.

Congestion "a Factor.
The infant death rate in families
which lived in homes with two or
more persons per room was two and
one-half times that in families which
lived in homes with less than one per-
son per room. The variations in NOR
tally from gastric and intestinal and
from respiratory diseases were espe-
cially marked. The mortality rate for
infants whose mothers had worked
away from home prior to the children's
birth was 1861, az compared with
TAG for those whose mothers had
worked at home, and with SO for those
whose mothers had not been gainfully
employed.
The excess mortality among infants
whose mothers were employed away
from home was due in part to an I'M
usual prevalence Of artificial feeding.
but even after allowance was made
for this large proportion the mortal
ity among these infants was still
twice the average.
Finally, the fathers earnings play
a large part in the chances for an In
fant's life The report states that In
FAINT mortality rates from all causes
and from each principal cause OF death
were highest when the fathers earn-
ings were low and lowest when the
fathers earnings were relatively high.
