With a temperature of 95 degrees already sending the Washington thermometers climbing, there is a good reason why the House should wish to have a clean calendar by the middle of July, and the Speak CT of that body is applying the goad mildly. Plenty of work remains to be done. The merchant marine should be given lift. Trans portation, especially by motor bus, will have to receive attention.

WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

Washington, D. C. July l.
 The President has placed at the disposal of the civil works admin strators the sum of four billion dol lars, which is almost twice the ann ount of the entire public debt of the United States for any years between the opening of the Civil War and the beginning of the World War. The conflict last mentioned increas- ed the federal indebtedness about six-fold but no one seemed to think that the money had been spent in vain. It is to be hoped that the present outlay, operating through the arts of peace, will accomplish as much good as has been attribut
 ed to a like amount expended by way of the arts of war in the past

Siberian Trip Of s. s. DellWood With
 Arctic "Vagabonds"
Arctic Cruise Passengers Re- ceive Welcome By Soviet
 Officials at East Cape

With very pleasant impressions of the hospitality and friendliness of Siberian Russia the s. s. Dell wood of the Alaska Line which re- turned yesterday from the north ern portion of her yearly Arctic Cruise, departed last evening, en- route to Seattle.
 Leaving Nome several days ago and completing a stop at Teller, the Dellwood proceeded north to a point above the Arctic Circle where she encountered dense fog and was bound there for about seven hours After the fog lifted the ship start ed south toward East Cape, Siber- ia, and as she crossed the Arctic Circle again the unusual, but how ever, appropriate ceremonies of in ducting the round trip passengers into the mystic order of Polarius Neptune Rex were held. The ship then proceeded to the village of Ugelen, on the north side of East Cape and came to anchor there.
 Immediately after anchoring, the ship was visited by the local Com mandant who, though not being ab- le to speak English, made it very plain that all were welcome to come ashore and visit and he offered to tow the ships boats ashore with his launch whenever ready. Plans were made to go ashore the next morning at goo o'clock.
 Met By Residents
 On going ashore the next morn ing the passengers were met by Eskimos, Russians and the entire complement of aviators and govern ment employees stationed there. In the meantime the representative of Intourist, Russia's department of goodwill and public relations, had landed eighteen miles south on the other side of East Cape.
 A dog team of fourteen dogs was dispatched for him and he made the run of eighteen miles over wet grass with the team and sled in two and one-half hours heavily laden. There was one Eskimo who could speak little English and he insisted that MT. Pete Swanson be told his old fisherman was alive and well at Ugelen. When the Intourist repre- sentative arrived it was found that his interpretation was invaluable, as he had very good command of English.
 The tourists were then shown the Village, the government pulling and houses, the school, the native carving shed, the government snow planes, etc. Intourist then opened their store and allowed the tourists to wander at will and purchase what they wished.

PROGRESS IN HEALTH

Sometimes one gets discouraged with
the progress of medicine.
One sees, despite modern knowledge
and facilities, the suffering Of friends, the
all-too-wide prevalence of disease. And
one wonders just how great is this medical
progress in practical results.
Now and then comes an in~conspicuous
answer which ought to be more general
ly known. For instance, the New York
State Department Of Health reports that
not a single case of smallpox was reported
in that state in 1884.
In the good old days" of our fore
fathers. every second face was pitted by
the ravages of this disease. Now santa
ton, preventive medicine, vaccination,
have all but conquered it.
In view Of the comparative newness of
modern medicine as a science, progress
has really been a marvel. Sickness,
disease, death, may never be conquered,
but credit for the remarkable progress that
can be definitely shown ought to be CIV
IN freely.

FORGOTTEN MAN STILL UNDER
DARK SKIES

Experts working for the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration sat down not
long ago to try to find out just who this
forgotten man we have been hearing so
much about really is.
Examining their records, they came to
the surface at last with the following de-
scription:
He is between As and IS years Of age.
He makes up about 27 per cent Of the en-
playable" relief population; but there's a
catch in the use of that adjective, because
his chances Of re-entering private industry
are almost nil, 45 being accounted a sere
and yellow old age in employment offices
these days.
The forgotten man. further, has little
hope of cashing in under any %unemploy-
ment insurance scheme, and unless he is
getting very close to 65 no old-age pensions
will do him much good.
If the Administrations 1900. 600, 900
work relief scheme goes through, it may
mean a job for him. but the job will be
only temporary, and it won't pay him any
very prlncely sun.
All in all, he is p~lodding along under a
pretty dark sky, and there is little indica-
ton that his sky is going to get much light
er. And his existence under such circums-
tanccs is one of the most telling indict-
ments imaginable against our whole social
system.
The man who has passed 45 ought to be
just entering the age in which he can enjoy
the fruits Of the society in which he lives.
The experience he has gained in his work
ought 10 make him a valuable man in his
job; his years Of living ought to have rip
ened his wisdom so that he could get more
human values out Of his life than ever be-
fore.
Instead. in all too many cases. passing
on into middle age is apt to take him over
the deadline beyond which there is no Sc
cure place for him. We seem to nave ar
ranged things so that we have nc use for
him.
If he has a job. he must worry about
losing It; If he loses it, he is pitched into a
situation from which it is constantly be-
coming more difficult for him to extricate
himself by his own eXertions.
There is something both heartless and
silly about such a state Of affairs. One Of
the prime features of any proper "new
deal ought to be the discovery Of some
workable way to remedy it.

About 80 per cent Of impressions come to us
through our eyes.
As a result, conservation Of the eye Is Of utmost
importance for every child. 1t is particularly i'm
portant for those children who happen to be handi-
capped through loss Of hearing, by Gripping, or by
mental defect
These must substitute their eyes for other senses.
Thus, the child who is hard Of hearing must learn
to interpret movement Of lips and facial muscles.
The crippled child, being unable to move, has to
use his eyes as a substitute for agile legs. Other
children run about; the eyes Of the crippled child
must bring the world to him.
To break through the cloud which obstructs the
intellect Of the mental defective, the sense Of vision
Is exceedingly important.
Since most children come first to pu5lc attention
in the classroom, teachers in schools bear a heavy
responsibility for detecting eyestrain and visual de-
feet. The moment they observe any OF
the eyes OF the child, occurrence Of frequent styes,
spasms OF the eyelids, or twitching Of the facial
muscles. they should call it to the attention OF the
school physician, provided one is available.
In many cases, children who seem to be unable to
learn to read or write, or who seem to lack in con-
centration, fail because Of inadequate sight.
Nowadays there is a standard Of eye hygiene. This
involves good natural lighting, adequately supple
mcnted by artificial lighting on dark days. It involves
desks which will not reflect the light from a shiny
desk top into the child's eyes, and, if possible. a flex-
ible seating arrangement in claSSrooms SO that no
child will face the source Of light directly, and so
that no child will sit in its own shadow.
Good lighting" says a specialist, land a conscious
ness OF its lack; well-printed books; eye rest periods:
all the many factors which 90 TO make up a program
