WON'T RESIGN
SAYS KELLOGG

WASHINGTON, Oct, P)-A
difference of opinion as to the
meaning of remarks of Secretary
kellogg at the usual press con-
ference today, resulted in word
going out that the Secreatry had
publicly made known his inten-
ton of definitely retiring from the
cabinet at the expiration Of the
term of President Coolidge.
Later, after the reports were
printed, the Secreatry said he had
not committed himself definitely,
saving that he meant to tell his
interviewers that all ministers and
ambassadors sent in their resig-
nations when the term of the ad-
ministration had expired.

Silveri6 Urbina, who is reported

man who was sent to the Nevada
State prison in 1923 from Las

Carson and First streets was
Jesus Verdugo He served from

ported to Navajoa, Sonora, Med-
co, where he now is.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Jacmnini,

HEALTH OF A CHILD
is VALUABLE ASSET

trying to put over.
had already heard of the
splendid success she had had in
the Moapa Valley during the
scarlet fever epidemic last spring,
and also of the fine response to
her health conferences, which re-
suited in the people of that COM
munity placing on themselves vol
unfairly, a tax of sc per capita,
and other personal contributions
for the purpose Of obtaining nee
eSsary medical attention for de-
fective children. Still all this
meant very little to me.
My mental reaction was that
Las Vegas was an extremely
healthy community, because of
our climate, and fancied isola-
ton, and the idea of a health sur
vey did not strike any very re-
sponSive chord.
What was my surprise, then on
visiting the kindergarten one af-
ternoon, to find a room full of
mothers with their small child
rem. The strictest attention and
interest was apparent in the at
titude of both mothers and child
rem.
Each child was examined in
turn by Miss Withers. This ex-
animation consists of testing the
sight and hearing for signs Of
eye or ear strain, examining the
lids for signs of granulate lids, or
other irritation, taking note of the
child's posture, as to whether
shoulders are even, back straight,
and as to whether the ankles
curve in or out The teeth are
examined, first to see if they have
come in properly, and as to
whether they are in need of den-
ia lcare, and the throat is ex-
amined for diseased tonsils. The
child next is looked at to see
whether there is a tendency to
goiter. If Miss Withers finds any
sign of defect in any instance
she advises the parent to take the
child to a physician or dentist,
as the case may be, for a tho
rough examination so as to de-
termine whether thrre is really
anything wrong. Never does she
attempt any diagnosis, or advise
that tonsils should come out, or
glasses be worn, She merely notes
the signs of possible defects, and
gives the parent a card to the
family physician, stating what she
has noticed.
Some times the child may have
a tired, or undernourished ap-
pearance and she is able to dis
cuss the childs habits of rest and
eating with the mother, some
times making suggestions as to
diet or rest which are of real
assistance to the parent.
The mothers of this kindergar-
ten. group were intensely interest
ed. and most of them stayed, not
only through the examination OF
their own child, but until the
examination of all the pupils had
been completed.
The examinations are not COM
pulsory, the parent having only
to state that they do not wish
| to have their children examined,
but if the cooperation given by
these kindergarten mothers is any
criterion, the percentage Of re-
SPONGE will be high.
/ AS one mother said, Il think
it is wonderful the advantages
they are giving the children now
adays. I wish I might have had
this opportunity when was a
child. I had a pair of tonsilS
that nearly killed me. and nc
one even knew I had them until
after I grew up"
Now what is the "blg idea. tC
use a little slang. By starting

There is no denying that We
parents have a complicated job
nowadays trying to bring up our
youngsters. Modern machinery
may have lessened household
drudgery, but modern require
mentS have added much to the
parents job, and particularly to
the mothers.
Time was when children came
! into the world were all brought
up by the same recipe, and in
turn fetched up their offspring
by the same method used on
themselves. In those days COM
plexeS and inhibitions had never
been heard OF Children spoke
when they were spoken to, and
quickly. and we're popularity sup
posed to have no personalities
until they had reached their ma
| jority. Then, if they amounted to
anything, they suddenly develop
ed character Of their own, and
/ if they didn't they were just one
of the host OF misfitS.
Tonsils, vaccinations. nutrition
and physical culture were un-
known. If the child pulled
| through winter colds, diphtheria
scarlet fever and small poX, well
and good. If he lost his sight
hearing or even his life, the mis-
fortune was piously laid to the
will of God.
Some brave and enterprising
souls, however. began doubling
that God really had anything to
do with the terrible toll, and did
some investigating on their own
account.
AS a result of the pioneering
of these early educators and ply
sicians. modern schools and par
ents are Just beginning to reach
the place where they are plac-
ing the children of the nation or
the same scale Of value that the
farmer gives to his livestock.
That they are just beginning is
proven by the caution and uncer-
tainty with which we have en-
braced the opportunities offered
under the Shepard -Towner act
To be sure, much of this uncer-
tainty may be laid to the lack Of
wisdom of some Of the early work
ers under the act.
It is rather a strange anomaly
that the more rural and isolated
communities have given a more
thorough and interested coopera-
ton than those dwelling in the
more thickly settled towns anc
cities. There can be only one
explanation and that is lack o.
knowledge of what the worl
means.
For some years now the healtf
work has meant to parents val
iant effort to put on a few pounds
of flesh, and has resulted in CIV
ing milk and green vegetables
larger place on our menus, ou
what it is all about most OF u
haven't the slightest idea.
AS a member of the Las Vega!
community nursing committee
and also in my capacity of mothel
and taxpayer, I decided to vis1
the school this week and try Il

Pays to Know Volume Of
Timber in Farm WOodlot

1t pays to know the volume of tim
Der in a farm woodland before max
ing a sale, says the forest service,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. If the farmer does not know
how TO estimate standing timber, he
would do well to call in expert assist
ance, which can often be obtained
through the county agent or state ex-
tension forester. The value of such
an estimate Is shown by the expert
ence of a woodland owner in William
son county, Tenn. The highest bid
which he received for his tract Of
hardwood timber before it was esti-
mated was $1,000, which he was in
cllned to accept However, he EN-
ployed an experienced cruiser TO esti-
mate the timber and assist him in
hnding other bidders. Within three
months the tract was sold for $4,000.

would have obtained without securing

Rabbits Kill Many
Trees in Shelter Belt

Jack rabbits cause considerable In
Jury to forest trees In many localities.
In winter the succulent branches Of
the smaller trees are often girdled,
causing stunted growth and sometimes
killing the trees, writes G. A. Gillett.
In the Dakota Farmer.
Probably the best method Of pro-
tecting young shelter-belt trees from
the rodents is fencing the shelter-belt
area with a suitable fence that will
prevent the rabbits from jumping
wei or getting through the mesh.
Operations for the control Of jack
rabbits are being directed by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture biological survey. In South Da-
kota the work is to be aided by the
establishment of n number of CONNER
cial stations for buying jack rabbits
skins in the western half of the state
by agreements during the coming win
ter with produce companies in the
East. The Jack rabbit skins are to
be used mostly in the manufacture Of
felt hats. The rise In the price OF
raw materials for felt-hat making has
made 1t possible to utilize great num-
bers Of rabbit skins that were for
merly wasted.

Open Old Drains and
Plan Some New Ones
Spring Is Time to Clean
Out bitches.

Spring rains and freshets make the
farmer think Of drainage. says the
State College Of Agriculture at Ithaca,
and there is no better time to lay out
tile drains and bitches than at this
season of the year.
Many farmers, says the college,
make 1t a practice In March or April
every year to start out and go over
their farms with \ shovel over their
shoulders, and a handful of %sharpened
small stakes. The shovel is for clean
ing the outlets of the drains now in
stalled, and the stakes are for laying
out new ones.
Tile drains are an investment, and
the chief returns come In saving time
In getting on the land In the spring.
II the outlets are stopped up, they do
not take care Of the excess water as
they should, and their purpose is de-
feated. To get real returns on the
investment, nothing should be allowed
to keep the drains from %dIscharging
the surface and excess soil water rap
idly.
And while this is being done, says
the college, there is no better time
than early spring to locate the wet
spots In the field and see where they
should naturally drain. Watching
where the surface water goes will gen.
orally give an idea as to the best nat
ural outlet, and stakes should be set
for future reference when the bitches
"a be dug.
One little wet spot may spoil the
appearance and usefulness of a whole
field, making it necessary to turn
around in the middle Of the lot, or to
altogether forego the planting of GER
tain crops. Drain the wet spots, says
the college, and put the whole field
on the same basis.

Those who attempt u preach TO the
American worker that foreign competition
is a myth, and that the tariff is simply
a bllwark for the fattening of the indus
trial captains of America, would do well
TO read an extract from a recent issue OF
the Berliner raeeblatt relative to condi-
lions under which European labor works
to produce articles in competition with
our own workmen. Ii is a description of
conditions in the Leuna Works where
some 3d. 600 men are employed. The
morning arrival is being pictured aud the
translation runs as follows:
Everyone started at a trot for the
~eangways leading to the narrow gates
admitting the employees to the grounds.
We passed in one by one, every man
inspected. Each must show his employ
ment card to the eateman. From time
to time some one was picked out of the
spector. Possibly an agitatory pamphlet
had been found in his possession. OF the
men thus pulled out of the lines, every
fourth or fifth was ordered into a dressing
room. Hands up The inspectors
skilled fingers glided quickly over the
suspects body; he must empty his
pockets, and if there was anything suspi-
cious he must disrobe. Except at the
Leuna Works and the works at Leverku-
and 0ppau, only the Raffirs in the South
African diamond mines are, so far as !
know subject to this indignify.'
Is it any wonder, under these condi
tons, our foreign competitors are able TO
undersell our American workmen? Is
any better evidence needed as to the
necessity of a tariff?
