Big Celebration

At the recent Havre meeting of
the I. r. highway association, County
Commissioner H. E. Brink was elected
a director of the Montana division of
the association to succeed Frank P.
Carey of Eureka.
Correspondence from the secretary
A. L. Jordan Of Columbia Falls, dis
closes that the big program celebrat-
ing the opening Of the highway across
the. mountains will, be held 1T Sum,
NIT on July 10. Funds for defrayins
the expenses of this celebration have
been apportioned among various in
terested counties, Lincoln county
quota being $500. OF this sum, Eure-
ka has already paid $50. Other quotas
are: Roosevelt county, $3.50; (paid
$375); Valley county, $3.50; Phillips
county, $3.50; Blaine county, $3.50;
Hill county, $500; Liberty county,
$3.50; Toole county, $500; Glacier
county, $3.50; Flathead county, $500;
Lincoln county, $500.
Information is at hand which indi-
Gates that the Eureka-Libby section
of the T. r. highway will soon be re-
placed on the per cent system. This
will make it eligible for federal aid
and when the highway is completed, its
maintenance will be taken over by the
highway department. That will place
by far the greater part of the county's
trunk highways under state mainte-
nance and would mean much to tax
payers.
1t is also believed that the Dickey
Lake project will be started this year.

HEALTH IS CALLED
DEBT TO CHILDREN
White House Conference
Leaders Urge Further
Disease Research.

Society owes every child a healthy
body and the greatest possible chance
Of living.
This was the keynote of the section
meetings today of the White House Con-
ference on Child Health and Protec-
ton. The committee chairmen urged,
as even more important than further
research, the giving Of children every
where the full benefits of what is al
ready known along these lines.
In the report presented before the
section on public health service and
administration it was urged that In
vestigation programs be undertaken on
meningitis, the use Of convalescent
serum IN scarlet fever, venereal dis
eases, the efficacy Of whcoping cough
vaccine, infantile paralysis, hcckw0rm
and the common cold.
Tuberculosis Study Recommended.
Recommendations were made for the
study OF tuberculosis. both by the spe-
cific test and x-ray method. especially
to determine the reason for the abnor-
mally high death rate Of adolescent girls
from this disease.
The possibilities of reducing the sick
ness rate by using convalescent serum
for measles and whooping cough among
great numbers of children as preven-
ton rather than a cure were recon-
mended for study.
The report stressed that nothing
could be more blighting than restraint
on the use Of animals In experiment"
and urged resistance TO any legislation
to this effect.
Infant mortality, it was pointed out,
seems to bear some relation to racial
groups In large American cities. Thus
statistics show that Poles and colored
people have q very high rate not espe-
pecially connected with their economic
status, while Russian Jews and Italians
have a very low rate.
A renewal of the row between sup
porters of Miss Grace Abbott, head Of
the United States Children's Bureau,
and DR.. Haven Emerson of New York,
broke out early this afternoon at q
meeting of the section on public health
relations.
The report of a subcommittee headed
by DR.. Emerson contained a recommen-
dalton that medical activities now under
the Childrens Bureau be concentrated

SESSION POSSIBLE
Nebraskan Says Call Will Be
Forced Unless ProgreSSiveS
Can Get Action.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator George w. Norris Of Ne
braska, progressive leader in the Senate,
returned to Washington today prepared
to fight for the passage of legislation
favored by the progrsssives at the COM
ing short session of Congress.
He made it clear that If the admins
tration would not yield and permit this
legislation to become law the regular
Republicans might as well expect a
special session Of the new Congress
after March 4. He indicated that
means could be found to bring about
such session If necessary.
Senator Norris was recently reelected
with lead Of nearly $4,000 votes over
his Democratic opponent, former sena-
tor Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. Hitchcock
had the support Of many regular RE-
publicans IN Nebraska, but could not
hold the Democrats IN line, and many
Of them voted for Norris.

legislation for Congress" said Senator

Included in the program Of the Pro-
gressiveS are the Muscle Shoals bill.
providing for Government operation Of
the project; the bill limiting the use of
intunctions in labor disputes, advocated
BY labor, but which is before the Senate
with an adverse report of the senate
judiciary Committee, which stood to
Z against the bill: bills for the relief of
unemployment and Senator Norris own
resolution providing for a constitutional
amendment doing away with lame
duck sessions" of Congress
Il do not want an extra session Of
Congress" said Senator Norris, "and II
there Is an extra session It will be
brought because the administration will
not give consideration to matters which
either are in conference between the
two houses or are on the Senate cal
endar. I am anxious to give the SEN
ate an opportunity to redeem party
pledges. If the administration will stop
its opposition, we viii do 1t If these
bills are not acted upon, 1t may be
necessary to force action by special
session Of Congress, which can easily
be DONE"
Senator Norris said that the ina
chine Republicans" in the House who
have blocked his resolution to do away
with lame-duck sessions of Congress,
may have to take q bitted dose of
their own medicine" If they persist
in their opposition to that resolution.
He pointed out that the Senate, during
a period Of 10 years, has passed his
resolution i've times.
Before House Only Once.
Only once has the proposal been per-
mitted to come before the House for
vote and that was on a substitute
resolution for the Norris resolution.
On that occasion the proposal did not
receive the necessary two-thirds vote
for the adoption of q resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendment.
Senator Norris called attention to
the fact that the Muscle Shoals IegisIa-
ton has been pending for a matter of
IL years and that the anti-injunction
bill has been under consideration for q
couple Of years. He insisted that the
