NEW YORK STATE
 SCANDAL IS OVER
Little Likelihood Others Are to
 Be Prosecuted

Albany, N Y, May 29.-tUP>- The conviction Of Mrs. Florence E. S Knapp may have brought to a close the scandal uncovered in her ad- ministration ot the 1925 state census while she was secretary of state.
 While the records of the trial and the Moreland investigation by Ran- dall J. Le Bouef. Jr., indicated others were involved, there is little likeli- hood that the grand jury will indict either Mark, stern. deputy secre- tary, or Miss Anna Little, former auditor. who were lined up indirect ly in the condition Of affairs.
 The grand jury and Le Bouef had before them verbal picture of the situation that 1t was not possible to bring out Mrs. knapp's trial because of the laws governing the presenta- ton of evidence. This picture. it is held, showed them to be tools in the hands of Mrs. Knapp.
 Le Bouef did recommend action against those two individuals, but he also urged that il they cooperated i'll any criminal investigation due con- sideration be given such action. This they did and it is doubtful if any move will be made against them. Mre. Knapp is in seclusion today. recovering from the nervous strain and partial breakdown which she suffered after her trials and con- Nlction. She left her hotel here late yesterday accompanied by a friend, Mrs. Florence C. Squyers. All her relatives who had remained in AL bany over the week. end left several hours ahead of her.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

WlFIE Ashbys, at Jones Village,
4 Okla, did not change their
school from "Mud Center" to a
Health Village" in day or
without some difficulties.
They, for instance, saw that
children would be better and do
better with hot lunches than with
cold ones. The usual cold lunch
in the lunch basket. or worse. the
closed tin pail, is an aboInination
and should be abolished by sub
stituting something better. This
was one of the chief difficulties
of the Ashbys. They finally de.
cided to cook the food on the
heater in the schoolroom, and did
not try to prepare more than one
thing each day. It was usually
soup, made of beef, potato, cream
OF tomato or beans. Parents
helped by contributing milk, but
ter, canned tomatoes, etc. The
authors took unobtrusive note of
what the children brought from
home for their lunches and talked
to them about it, with the result
that, after the first few months
of the new regime, no cold, soggy
pancakes appeared. Another sign
of the new order was the appear
ance of milk in bottles at lunch
time. The soup was served to
the children without charge, as
most of the ingredients were given;
other necessaries were bought To-
cally at cost. In the third year a.
dental clinic was held; in follow
ing years the staff took child
rem in patches to Oklahoma City
to have their teeth seen to.
One Of the bugbears usually con-
norance or Indifference, oppose
the introduction Of health studies
in public, schools is that there
isn't time for them. Were teach
ing too many things now; can't
take on any more" they say. The
Ashbys met this situation by
working health instruction into
the other studies. Thus, the gram
mar lesson was illustrated with
sentences on food clipped from
magazines, and verses and stories
were written about them. In
geography each child came to
know the different countries by
their products and health cos
tunes.
They were very impressed to
discover that countries in which
education was backward were
usually noted for filth and dis
ease, and concluded that with ed
ucation comes disease control.
The story of the Panama Canal
Zone showed them how a most
dangerous country could be made
by science into q model health
land.
The children thus trained to
good health habits in the lower
grades were ready to become in-
terested in further explanations
as they advanced.
The hygiene classes kept their
textbooks for reference. But they
took their texts from more prac-
tical sources like safety-first post.
ers and prevention literature.
They had talks on tobacco, alco-
hol and patent medi mes, and
held discussions and Sbnferences
on all kinds of public health ques-
