Another Prize BOner

Most Interior Department off cials, from Secretary Ickes down, were delighted when Raymond Gram Swing wrote an article in The Nation which unmercifully roasted Federal Judge T. Webber Wilson of the Virgin Islands and the Farley-Cummings- Pat Harrison mbination which obtained Will sons appointment. Wilson has been fighting with Interior Depart ment appointees in the Virgins.
 They hastened to point out the article to friendly newspapermen and assure them the facts were correct.
 Suddenly they awoke with ter. rife headache to discover that their enthusiasm had been so con- tagious as to result in an official distribution of copies to corrc- spondents by the Ickes publicity department.
 This placed Ickes in the i'm. possible position of publicly at-
 lacking the postmaster general
 and party political boss, tie att tOrney general, and a prominent administrator senator.
 Ickes was already in not wa-
 ter. This was one of the worst
 bOners of the winter.
 One inside story of the incident Is that 'Ickes told one of his pub- licity men he hoped the newspaper boys wouldn't overlook the story, whereupon the publicity man, in a temporary brainstorm, started feeding out copies flor the infor- nation of correspondent."

HEALTHMOBILE
MAKES TRIP TO
MARYLAND COUNTIES

Five counties = Charles, Calvert,
Kent, Queen Anne's and Somerset
were visited by the Healthmobile of
the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
State Department of Health in its
tour of Southern Maryland and the
Eastern Shore during the summer.
Stops were made at eighty places,
many of them off the main highway,
and one or more child health confer
ences for the examination of babies
and young children not under reg
ular medical supervision was held at
each place. The tour began in Char
les County on June II, and ended in
Somerset, August z. The total dis
lance travelled was 1906 miles. The
arrangements in each county were
under the direction of the County
Health Officer.
The interior of the big car is like
a children's clinic on wheels. 1t is
completely equipped, even to a dental
outfit and child's size dental chair.
Stops were usually made at or near a
community center-a school building,
a church or a hall, so that the con-
ferences could be held in case of I'M
favorable weather. The majority took
place in the healthmobile. The staff,
by whom the examinations were made,
included physician with special ex-
perience in the care Of babies and
young children, dentist with special
training in children's dentistry and
the public health nurse of the district.
Of the 1915 children brought to the
conferences 223 were under year old;
745 were from one to five and the rest
were under seven. The older children
were examined in preparation for their
admission to school. Special attention
was paid in all of the examinations to
the general health of the child; to in
dications of malnutrition, to the heart,
lungs, evident defects of vision and
hearing, and to the condition of the
teeth, tonsils, nose and throat. No
medical treatments were given. Chill
dren in need of corrective care, and all
who had not been immunized against
diphtheria or who had not been vac
cinated against smallpox, were refer
red to their family physicians.
Twenty-Five per cent of the total
34S children-were free from condi-
tions requiring corrective care; Fl pei
cent-33O-were underweight or gave
other evidence of malnutrition; 1875
had infected or enlarged tonsils; IL
had defects of vision; % defects Of
hearing; 552 needed dental attention
and while the conferences were ir

given to 497.

New HARDING
In Movies

HOLLYWOOD, April 10. - In
the face of an emergency, Edith
Nash (Ann Harding's sister, did
the last thing in the world she
ever expected to do. She became
an actress.
Many times, Hollywood friends
have asked AIMS blonde sister if
she had any camera ambitions,
but she always laughed and said:
lone actress in the family Is
enough"
She has been AIMS secretary,
adviser and sometimes her stand
in, but she always held to her de-
cision. That is until now.
Then one of the feminine play
ers in The Flame Within was
taken i'll with flu. Director Ed
mund Goulding was ready to use
her and he cast about frantically
for a substitute. His eye lit on
Edith Nash.
Thirty minutes later, she was in
makeup and was working with
Sister Ann in her first motion
picture scene.
