In 1924 May Day for child health was dedicated to childhood and every community in the country was asked to make of this day . festi- val in which the child was the cen- tral figure. From that year on, this has become a national custom.
 The 1928 May Day is now ap- preaching and Connecticut joins with the other states in celebrating this event. During these years that simple theme which so fired the imagination of parents and leaders throughout the country has gained momentum and set into motion na- tion-wide machinery for the promo ton of child health not on May Day alone. but every day in the year. Festivals there will be but only as outward expressions of achievement, of community efforts to raise the standard of child health to the end | that children may be safely brought through the exacting period of growth to a full enjoyment of adult health. AS outgrowths of the origi- nal plan have come important ac- l tivities for the promotion of child health one of the most important of which is the Summer Roundup campaigns inaugurated by the Ma i tional Congress of Parents and Teachers, the purpose of which is to start children in their school life physically fit, free of defects. im- ! munized against certain diseases-as educational assets instead of liabili- ties.
 Not the least important aspect of the nation wide May Day program is the unifying of purpose by state and local organizations-all with one aim-the promotion of child health State health departments, schools teachers, parent teacher associa. tions, churches. visiting nurse asso- citations, social workers. labor organ. izations and local lay organizations are meeting on common ground to develop in their separate communi- ties local activities whose aim is the perfection of child health
 May Day is now but an expression of year-round health activities ir every state i'll the union. In 192i there were fifty chairmen for May Day, all of whom were we'll recog. nized leaders in child health work and thirty-six of whom were off cials Of State Health Departments The chairman for Connecticut is tho director of the Bureau of Child lily. sicne of the State Department O Health. Plans are well under wa! for making this May Day an import ant one in Connecticut healtl history.

HERDS OF ALASKAN SEALS
 SHOWS STEADY GROWTH

Fur seals in the Alaskan herd are steadily increasing in numbers anc: more skins are being taken every year, the Department of Com iperce stated September 22. Since Gov arnment contro! of the Pribilof Islands was assumed in 1910, the number of seals las increased 500 per cent
 Tie statement follows in full text:
 The Alaskan sealskin coat Is be- ing manufactured and sold in steadi- ly increasing numbers. Since the control of the herd was assumed by ,tke Bureau oF Fisheries in 1910, the number of seals has increased about 5n0 per cent. which has allowed the killing of larger numbers of the sur p1 Us males during recent years with out detrimen to the natural growth of the herd

the Islands were under the domin- Ion of Russia until the purchase of Alaska by the United States in 1867. ': records of the operations under the llussian regime are very frag, mentary, but when Alaska became the property of the United States in 1867 the number of seals in the herd was variously estimaeed at between 2,OV0 900 and 5,0O0,0OO animals For the first two years after the pur- chase there were no restrictions on the killing indiscriminately.
 In 1870 an American company was formed and contracted with the Government to carry on the seal. ing exclusively, under strict terms of agreement and under the super vision of the Government. Under the terms of the lease the company had 70 furnish stipulated amounts of food to the inhabitants free of ch9rie g., maintain a school, pay 40 cents for each skin taken, furnish provisions and merchandise at prices no higher than the prevailing re- tai prices in San I rancisco, and in stuted many other reforms.
 Heard Greatly Depleted
 h order to pc. petuate the herd the annual quota of the company wa" placed at 100000 skins a year. and all went well until pelagic sealing roke out On the Pacific. This kill ing If seals in tre water was ex- l tremely wasteful and destructive. wastelul in that large proportion was not recovered, and destructive ] because both males and females were killed instead of only the surplus mal's.
 '3 1911 treaty was entered into by the United States, Great Britain, JanaE, and Russia, which prohibited pelagic sealing in the North Pacific Ocean and Boring Sea. The second lease to an American firm, which differed materially from the former, hac expired the previous year, and the United States Government took over the entire management of the sealing industry of the Pribilof Is- lands. The complete herd at that time was estimated to contain only about 132,OO0 animals.
 The next IS years, from 1910 to 1928, clearly demonstrate the ef1- cacy of the policy of conservation with use." Comparatively few skins were taken the first years, in order to give the herd a chance to grow Tn numbers, and since then the Ru- reau of Fisheries has killed only the surplus males.
