THE PRE-SCHOOL
 AGE CHILDREN
Parents and Teachers Give ing Valuable Aid to the
 Health Officials
THE CLINICS BUSY

Although some 5000 Connecti- cut children of the pre-school age have been physically examined at the summer roundups conducted chiefly in the rural communities by the Parents and Teachers associa- ton in cooperation with the state department of health, and although thousands of other tots about to enter school have. been similarly examined by local health authori- ties, medical examination of chill dren who have been to school in previous years should not be ne- glected, the state department of health warned to-day.
 Youngsters of pre-school age in Waterbury, through the efforts of the health department in conduct ing pre-school clinics, are almost all physically fit to enter the schools. All have been vaccinated and given a physical examination.
 The time has not yet arrived, the department states, when all children can be given the benefit of an examination by public au- thorities before the opening of school. Limited funds and facili- ties make it possible to cover only those ready to enter school for the first time. Parents, consequently, should take 1t upon themselves to Insure their children's health by taking them to the family physi- clan for an examination each year, particularly in the earlier grammar school years when children are most subject to disease.
 Periodically, the department states, children should be given an examination which includes weigh ing and measuring; test of vision, hearing and certain refiexes; exam ination of throat, glands, teeth, heart and lungs; close attention to the spine, feet and legs posture. This examination should be fol- lowed by 8 visit to the dentist for a thorough checkup of the teeth.
 Through such examinations many physical defects which unbe- known to the parents are hinder ing physical and mental progress are discovered. Defective teeth, enlarged, diseased tonsils together with adenoids and poor eyesight are the leading types of defects which retard the child, yet which can hardly become known to the parent without the assistance of medical examinations. Other de- fects, such as in the hearing, mal- nutrition, cardiac trouble and nerv- ous diseases, if discovered and treated early in life can usually be overcome.
 The state department of health also recommends that parents have the harmless and painless diphthe- ria xin-antitoxin administered to their children together with the compulsory immunization of the smallpox vaccination. The depart ment will furnish leaflets on any health subject on request.

TURTLE LAYS MANY EGGS.

In the warm waters around northern Australia, big turtles abound. They resort to the coral islands to nest, scooping out hol- lows in the sand above high tide mark. After the eggs have been deposited these hollows are filled in, says Nature Magazine, and the turtles return to the sea, leaving the eggs to be matched by the hot rays of the sun beating down through the sand. Then the young turtles struggle through the sand as best they can. Turtles often lay one hundred and fifty eggs at one time. It is not unusual to see from fifty to two hundred turtles backing close together along a beach. They often grow two feet across the back.

MANY IDEAS ARE PRESENTED FOR
 UNEMPLOYED
From the Highest to the Lowest Sugges tiOns Are Offered = Some Lunches of the Needy

New York, Sept 14.-(UP)-All over the country, men of high and low degree have been giving thought to means for curing this nations economic ills. Recommen- dations range from the carefully considered suggestions of such men as Professor John Dewey, | Norman Thomas and Henry L. De- | herty, to the extraordinary ideas | and Lunches of the unemployed | themselves.
 The peoples lobby, of which Professor John Dewey is president has asked President Hoover to call a special session of congress to | consider an unemployment relief program involving $3,500,000. Darwin J. Meserole, president of the National Unemployment league advocates the establishment of a $3,00O,000,00O to $5,00O,000,000 program of public works by the | federal government through na- tional bond issue. Norman Thomas, socialist can- didate for president in 1928, sug- gests $5,000,000,0 hunger loan" as the only way to provide I immediate relief for the unem- ployed
 Henry L. Doherty, public utility magnate, has established a fund of | $500,000 to be used by the Amer ican Society of Mechanical En- gineers in studying means of re- lieving depression. MT Doherty added that he would increase the gift to $5,000,00O If any good sound ideas for correcting econ omic problems facing this coun- try" were found.
 State and national financial as- sistance to enable the unemployed to get vocational retraining' is advocated by Dr William F. Rus- sell, dean of teachers college, Co., lumbia university.
 Albert Bushnell Hart, professor emeritus at Harvard university, writes that there is an opportun- ity to employ labor on large scale, much of it unskilled, simply in a physical housekeeping of our cities. "A nationwide effort to clean up all the railroads from end to end might conceivably em- ploy a hundred thousand men for half a year"

BREAD ROOT FOR WINTER.

While not as pretty as some, the Indian bread root never fails to hold interest when its life story is told says Nature Magazine. It was one of the most highly prized vegetables of a number of the Great Plains nations of Indians. The tuberous thickened roots were the part used and were rarely ever more than three inches in thick ness and four or five in length. They were covered with thick woody covering that when slit down the side peeled off like banana peeling. These portions were peeled and dried and stored for winter use.

HE TRAVELS WITHOUT NOISE

Moose is the largest of our land mammals. His curious head with its large, odd nose, the broad, palmated antlers, and the pendant "bell' be low the throat, all com bine to make him seem like a story-book animal. Because of long legs he is taller than a horse says Nature Magazine. Though large and heavy, he is able to travel almost noiselessly through his northern home in the thickets of alder, birch, tamarack, along the edges of slow-moving streams and shallow lakes. He is fond of water plants, leaf, stem and root.
