The production nf COWS tested in
he Imperial County Cow Testing
Association during December was
very satisfactory. The average Rro-
ductian was Ill mounds Of buttcrfat
per COW higher than it was in Dee
einbcr 1927. OF the - herds tested
- had an average production OF
more than pound Of buttcrfat per
day for each milking COW. Tn Dee
cmber 1927 only PA COWS produced
40 pounds or more of butterfat,
while in the past month there were
3I5, 40 pound COWS. Apparently
cow testing members are making
nse of their records to improve the
production of their herds.
During December - herds Were
tested in the Imperial County Cow
Testing Association. These herds
contained 31l9 COWS and 2323 COWS
were tested dnrinG this month. \
total Of 30 Of these cows produced
40 pounds or more of buttcrfat du;-
ing the month. Members of the as
soeiation cullcd out IS unprofitablc
cows. Five members purchased
purehred dairy bulls.
The 10 highest producing COWS
which were tested iuring December

YOUR HEfLTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FlSHBEIN Editor Journel of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 gcin, the Health Magazine

It has generally been assumed that the weight of the body is defi- nite!y related to it's health. Height weight tables have for years been studied by physical examiners in col leges and by investigators for life insurance companies.
 Within recent years examina- tons have been carried on In schools and children have been encoura ccd to cat more or less In order that they might reach cer- tain approximations of weights to heights that were considered suit able for good health
 Professor C. E. Turner of the MassG chuGctts Institute of Teen nology has recently published a consideration of the subject which points 10 the fact that the statements made in height weight tables must be taken as averages 2ge may vary in weight because of their hcredity and because of tendencies toward cancellation or obesity, which are a part of the;r nature.
 In some schools children are weighed and measured with shoes and in other schools without shoes. The child with shoes seems taller and thinner than the one without It therefore is not neces- sarily provision of good hygiene to insist on bringing all children who seem to he slightly under

weight to the figures that are called normal.
 Standard weight tables give av- craze weights and there is nor nal variation from these. It is unfair to set the average weight as normal for all children. In- deed. Professor Turner feels that at least 10 per cent should be al- lowed as a limit of variation which should not cause any un- due alarm or special attention.
 Those children who are under weight because of slender build must be separated from those who are underwcight because Of cancellation, bad health, or malnu- triton. The physician in charga make such a separation satisfac- torily.
 The regular weighing of chil- dren is important as it calls at tention to the whole health prob- lem. However, too much en- phass should not be placed on overweight in order to make up alleged deficiencies Emphasis should be placed rather on good nutrition and on regular gains in weight each month. The failure of a school child to gain in weight over a period of several months must be considered abnormal and have the attention of the physi- elan,

The ti.rual exposition is by nc means all this efficient woman's organization accomplishes. It con- tinues through the year, emphasiZ ing in every way the increasing eco- homie importance of the weaker sex.
 It has inaugurated a Success Clinic" in cooperation with the National Federation of Business and Professional Women, which provides various contact groups of influential women in different linea of activity to help younger and less influential members of their groups towards success. Through this young women can meet those much higher up the ladder.
 In addition this group has un. dertakcn an experiment to see what can be done about the prob lens confronting the woman over 20 who wants a job For the ex- position feels that it's purpose of helping women in the economic world includes helping so-called failures back to usefulness.

THE PAPER KNIFE By Alice Judson pealc

Most children are not over criti- cal of their own creative efforts, The pictures they paint. the shop work they do, the games they invent, are entirely satisfactory to them.
 But there are children of whom fer agonies of disappointment and humiliation and disCoura cement be cause the thing which they have made does not come up to the thing they had in mind.
 Such a child readily loses self con- fidence. His passion for perfection permits him no pleasure in the crude achievements of which he is capable.
 The story Of Andy shows how, if we keep our eyes open and our sym pathies alive, We may help such child 10 learn to take pleasure in the things he is able to do.
 At school in metal working class Andy made q paper knife of copper. It was well designed and nicely exc cuted, but fell so far short of the D. per knife of his imagination that he refused to take it home with him when it was finished.
 His teacher did not urge him. H merely said that he thought it was q very good looking knife and ask cd Andy if he might have it to use at his desk
 For weeks the knife occupied a position of honor on the desk. One morning after watching his teacher open the mornings mail with it, An dy picked it up and fingered it with loving fingers.
 Say, Mir. Mason" he said shyly, Would you mind very much if I took that knife home now? I think l would like to give it to my mother"
