Over $500 children were examined
at the child health conferences held
during the nine months ending on
September 80, under the joint auspi-

five to seven and were in the group
getting ready for admission to school
For the benefit of these prospective
first-graders, special conferences were
! held during the spring and summer
months, in order that handicapping
conditions that would interfere with
the health and success of the children
at school, could be pointed out to the
parents and corrections made before
the children started in to school
Through the courtesy of the Depart
ment of Education, many of the con-
ferences were held in the school
buildings.
Special attention was given by the
examining physicians to weight, pos
ture, the heart, lungs, nose, throat,
teeth, vision, and hearing, because OF
their important bearing upon the gen.
eral health of the children and their
freedom from, or susceptibility to-
disease. Conditions that needed to be
corrected were pointed out and the
parents were urged to take the child
rem to the family doctor or dentist
for the necessary care.
| Of the 1857 children eligible for
admission to school, examined, 2,911
were white, and 446 were colored
Over one-third of the children-1,2 29
white, 1,129 and colored, 100, were
underweight. Thr e-ffths-2,06O-

conferences for babies and preschoo

DUNCAN SISTERS END
 RUN TONIGHT, PALACE

The Duncan Sisters have broken records in vaudeville and musical comedy all over the country, and in the opinion of this critic, they are on their way to repeat this pleasant experience in their first taking picture, Its a Great Life, 2 8 Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer production at the Palace tonight for the last times.
 eIt's a Great Life not only gives the big public of the Duncans 2 brand-new assembly of gags and songs, but it presents the girls in strong, well-sustained story, in which they demonstrate that they can not only sing, but act mighty well whenever required.
 The story is good one. It more Or less dramatizes what would happen if great sister act were ever to have disagreement.
 "It's a Great Life" was filmed with technicolor sequences, which adds charm to the costumes and scenic effects.

have happy ending in order to get over"
 So it is with "The Last Com mand" Paramount's latest picture in which the great actor is fea- tuned. Jannings encounters no end of distress while William Pow ell, who is the villain, escapes all the traditional unhappy fates of the orthodox villain. Even Evelyn Brent, the beautiful heroine, who plays the part Of Russian Revolu- tionist meets an unhappy fate.
 As Jannings is real artist he believes that art may best be served by setting down an event just as it would probably happen in real life, regardless of the con- sequences, which explains his atti tude on plays as a whole Fans will remember the pictures "Varle- ty," and The Way of All Flesh" in which this famous artist ap- peared, and will hesitate to con- demn these works of the great ar tist as not coming up to the stan dard the movie going public has set for itself.

Summer Beauty Frozen
 For Winter Class Work


 FARGO, N. D., Feb. 14.-Mechan- ical refrigerators have become i'm pcrtant aios to education, says a report to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by A. r. Yeager of North Dakota Agri- cultural college.
 Fruits, flowers and vegetables that flourish in the summer, when there is no school, are thrust in their full bloom into ice boxes at below zero temperatures and kept frozen solid for classroom analysis the following winter.
 The results are remarkable, says Dr. Yeager, the samples remaining flor the most part in perfect con .dition so far as appearance is con- cerned. Most Of the material had the appearance of being taken fresh from the field.
 we were particularly impressed by the appearance of frozen yellow sweet corn, so much so that we took it home and cooked it. It was excellent and in our opinion fully equal to corn bought at the average market in summer time-"

COMEDY COMING TO
 PALACE, TOMORROW

Assorted walls and howls, blended with the music of a studio orches- tra and the foghorn-like voice of Robert z. Leonard, director, for merly a baritone singer in comic opera, all combined in the strang est pandemonium ever to breal; loose in a motion picture plant. T. occurred at the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios when Baby Mine, coming to the Palace Theatre, Sat urday and Sunday matinee, was being filmed.
 Part Of the stage was set aside for some 12 babies employed in the picture, with their mothers. They were all very young babies-with very fine lungs. In fact, if any one doubted the beneficial influ- ence of California climate on in- fant lungs one had but to visit the set, where there were usually at least six babies bowling in chorus.
 When scene was started the studio orchestra struck up some thing loud in an endeavor tc smother the squalls of the infants, and Leonard raised his volce-the loudest by admission of any direc- tor on the screen--to get his di- rections across the sum total Of extraneous noises. Besides the babies and other actors. there is a trained cat.

DOMANCE, fantasy, imagina- IA ton, genius, all these ele- ments are but part of the fascinat- ing story of mans efforts to find a machine that would carry him through the air, swiftly, efficiently. From the crude sketches of flying machine to be driven by Tapping wings, envisioned and drawn by Leonardo da Vinci, the great painter, who lived in the fifteenth century, to the blueprints of the Curtis Tanager biplane, it IS a fascinating record of achievement accomplished often under tremen- dous difficulties.

 Gliding experiments engaged the activities of many during the clos ing years of the last century. In 1896 Octave Chanute made many types of gliders, some of them weird five-decker contraptions, in which, however, he made some very successful flights.

He built wonderful steam-driven model which flew 5000 feet at Quantico, Virginia, on May 6, 1896.
