HAVE THEY BEEN INSPECTED?

Barbara and Betty, Junior and
Jack are getting ready to enter
school this fall. They are just a
few of the thousands whose last
birthday cake had five or six candles
on it and who are grown up enough
now to start their journey along the
royal road of learning. All sorts OF
things have been done in prepare
ton for the great event-dresses,
suits, shoes, school bags, are all
ready, in spick and span order.
Barbara and Junior have been to
the Doctors, too, and to the dem
lists. Barbara had to be vaccinat-
ed and Junior had to have tooth
filled. Betty and Jack have every
thing else ready, but for some rea-
son their mother has neglected to
have them looked over by the doc
tor and. dentist, so they are not as
we'll prepared for the journey as the
others.
Wishing Good Luck, but better
still, Good Health" for all these new
entrants on the road to the three
Rs, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, in a
Last Call'' message to mothers ana
fathers said, "Just few more days
remain before these youngs4 ers start
off on the more or less difficult road
to learning. l hope you will make
as thoughtful preparations for their
start as you would If you were get
ting your automobile ready for a
journey.
"These little human machines are
infinitely more precious than any
car that was ever built and the Bar
baras and Juniors who have been
carefully inspected in advance and
have been safeguarded as far as pos
sible against ill health or disease
have a much better chance of max
ing a safe and happy journey than
little Betty and Jack have, who
start out uninspected, and without
these safeguards.
"If Betty or Jack belongs to you,
be as careful of them as you would
of your car. Take them to your
doctor for a thorough going
over. Pay special attention to their
weight and posture; to the condition
of the nose and throat; have their
eyes examined for vision; the ears
tested for hearing; and have the
teeth carefully inspected. Then fol-
low your doctors advice. A LITTLE

far parts of the world are being
bound closer and closer together.
Air service is a special factor, and
to facilitate this it is purposed to
build seadromes which can be so
placed as to provide landing and re-
pair stations ON the ocean. On these
are to be hotels, repair shops, gaso-
line stations. The model of one
such seadrome is now being tried
out on the Chesapeake, near Cam
bridge, Maryland. The model is 35
feet long, 101a feet wide. But the
seadrome itself is to be 1900 feet
long, 400 feet wide.

HOUSE FARM GROUP
ADOPTS four BILLS
Measures Relating to Agri-
culture Proposed by Haugen,
Mapes and Ketcham.

Sy the Associated Press.
Proceeding toward the passage OF
legis alton expected to augment and aid
the farm relief bill, the House agricul-
.ure committee today approved four
measures relating to agriculture.
The bills included the Haugen meas
ure to change the definition of oleo-
margarine; another Haugen bill to
make various changes in the Federal
warehouse act; the Mapes bill to re-
establish minimum standards for cam
ned farm products. and the Ketcham
bill to provide for the assignment OF
representatives of the Department ol
Agriculture to foreign service.
The committee plans to ask the
House rules committee to give the
measures legislative right of way in the
hope that they may be considered on
the floor either tomorrow or Wednes-
day All four of the bills we're intro
duced at the last session.

mittee referred TO & subcommittee for

on the disputed export debenture plan
and possibly will pass some form OF

Administration leaders are confident
that they have enough support to de-
feat the debenture plan objected to by
President Hoover and that they will be
able to pass measure similar to thai
already approved by the House.
If their plans are carried out the
farm bill will be in the hands of q
Senate and House conference by the

that another fortnight will see the legis-
lation to serve as a groundwork for
solving the agricultural problem enacted
into law.
Debenture Plan Is Blocked.
The calculations of Republican lead
arS. however. hinge entirely on the sue
cess Of administration Senators in
blocking the adoption of the debenture
plan. Should this provision. in spite OF
their careful checking of the Senate
membership. ne written into the farm
