The Healthmobile of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State De-
partment of Health will spend the
next eight weeks in Southern MARY.
land and the Eastern Shore, VISITING
sections not reached by the regular
health conference for babies and
young children. Over sixty places
are included in the itinerary. Con-
ferences for the examination of chill
dren who are not under medical
supervision will be held at each
place.
The Child Health Special made its
first stops, this week, in Charles
County. The provisional schedule
for the rest Of the season, as an
nounced by DR.. J. H. M. Knox, Jr..
Chief of the State Bureau of Child
Hygiene, is as follows:
Charles 'County-Until June rs.
Calvert County-June 26 July s.
Kent County-July 8 II.
Queen Anne's County-July 1925.
Somerset County-July % Aug
ust z.
The big car is clearly marked as
coming from the State Department
# Health and is familiar sight on
county roads. The interior is as
spick and span as a hospital room
and is fitted with all the equipment
needed for the complete physical
examination of babies and young
children, including a dental chair
children's size-and the appliances
used for examining children's teeth.
The examinations are usually made
in the. car, but as the Healthmobile
always parks near some neighbor-
hood center-a school building, par
ish house or community hall-the
conference can be easily transferred
within doors if the weather is I'M
favorable.
Arrangements for the tour of the
Healthmobile in each county are
under the direction of the County
Health Officer and the Public Health
Nurse. The staff of the Especial"
includes doctor who has had special
training in the care of babies and
young children and dentist.
The aim of the conference is to
show mothers how to keep their
children well. No medical treatments
are given. Children are referred to
their own doctors for medical super
vision and care.
The Healthmobile conferences will
supplement the regular conferences
for babies and preschool children in
the rest of the State, which will be
held as usual, during the school.
Special emphasis is laid in all Of the
summer conferences on the examina-
tons of children who will reach
school age this year, in preparation
for their admission to school.

Travel Attracts
Youths To The
Marine Corps
Restless Spirit Is Evident In
Young Men Who Apply For
Enlistment

The restless spirit of American
youth is becoming more evident every
day, according to Captain John P.
McCann, of the Marine Corps.
Even when their home surround
ings are better than the average, there
seems to be an Unborn desire on the
part of every normal young man to go
places and do things" says Captain
Mccain.
Eager to begin a new life, far from
their home environment, the primary
question asked by nearly every ap-
plicant, Captain Mccain says, is
"Where do we go from here?"
They do not always put the ques-
ton in that fashion, but the examining
officer can readily see that their chief
desire is to get started for one of the
numerous Marine Corps stations, at
home or abroad, and especially one
which happens to be in some far
corner of the globe.
Most Of the young men who seek
enlistment in the Marine Corps today
are not of the "hitch-hiking" type.
On the contrary many of them are
natives of localities within radius of
from twenty five to thirty miles from
the city. They have either failed to
find satisfactory employment at home,
or have succumbed to the quite natur-
al instinct of every healthy youth to
travel about bit and see what is go
ing on elsewhere.
Happily the Marine Corps is able
to fulfill that desire very satisfactor-
lily. With perhaps the most mobile mil
itary force in existence, no unit of the
Corps ever becomes static. The main
training center at Paris Island. s.
&C., has the most mobile population in
the world, with practically an entire
'turn over" every few months.
Some attribute the restlessness of
youth to the unstable conditions to
our times. Captain Mccain believes it
is merely the pioneer instinct, which
was so deeply rooted in our ancestors
and which is finding its counterpart
in the youth today.

sponsored by a Church, neighborhood

sponsored by a Church, neighborhood
committee or institution interested in
boys. This sponsoring institution ap-
points a Committee of three to five
men and assigns them to the job of
selecting the Scoutmaster for the
group. This is neighborhood group.
Meetings are held once every week
and program of activities should be
developed of interest to all classes of
boys in the group, whether they live
on the farm or in town. This is best
accomplished when the Scoutmaster
understands the needs of both rural
and urban boys; Patrols may be or
ganized exclusively of farm or town
boys.
Younger Boys:-Thousands Of boys
are asking why we do not have pro-
grams for boys under twelve years.
The answer is, we do. No more altrac-
tive program was ever planned for
boys than the Clubbing Program. 1t is
! full of interesting games, community
service, craft activities, meeting plans
and adventures that appeal to boys of
this age. The Cub Program is
thoroughly ruralized and boys of ages
9, 10 or II who live on farms or in a
rural town, may register now as
"Cubs." A lone boy of this age is call
ed a Lone Cub. The neighborhood
group is called Cub Den. A Pack of
Cubs is made up of several Dens and
Lone Cubs. Clubbing is a charming
program for younger boys and gives
emphasis to the home and its environ
ment. 1t is designed as home rein
forcement program. A million country
boys of the ages nine, ten and clever
should have the joy of training in this
Cub Program. Younger boys as Cubs
graduate from the younger boys pro
gram into Scouting at the age Of
twelve.
Parents and leaders of youth, does
Scouting challenge you? It is call tt
service? What will you do about it I!
Millions of boys are waiting for mil
lion men to be friends and counselors
to boys who are struggling upward t.
manhood. Will you hear the call anc
answer in the interest of boys and flu
. ture Amarica? If you want to helI
your boy to be "Cub" or Scout,

2O,665,663 Advanced To
Corn Growers All Repaid

The entire sum of $120,665, 663.30
advanced to corn growers by the Fed
eral Commodity Credit Corporation
under the 1933-34 corn program has
been repaid by the borrowers with in
terest. And according to the latest
announcement of the Corporation in
Washington "the corn loans made on
the 1934-35 program are now being
repaid at rapid rate" These pro-
ducers' notes, which on June /
amounted to $2,041, 491, mature on
July 1. The same type of notes held
by banks on June l amounted to
81, 7S2, 7SS.
In view of many inquiries as to
whether the Commodity Credit Cor
poration expired with the original Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Act, June
16, 1885, because it was created in an
executive order of the President on
October 16, 1888, under authority
granted by the MIRA, attention has
been called to the fact that the act
extending the life of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation last Janu-
airy authorizes continuance of the CCC
until April 1, 1887, cor such earlier
date as may be fixed by the Presi-
dent" The CCC is authorized to use
all of its assets in making loans on
agricultural commodities.
The Commodity Credit Corporation
recently extended all cotton producers
notes from July 81, 1885, to Feb. /,
1886, and offered to enter into supple
mental contracts to purchase with
banks, whereby the investment OF
banks in cotton producers notes might
be continued after June 80, 1885. AS
of June 1, 1886, cotton producers
notes in the hands of the corporation
aggregated SAL, 6O7,494, secured by
$40, 321 bales of cotton.

The plans for groups and leaders in
the Program of Rural Scouting are as
follows:
Individual Boys: - For individual
boys who live in communities where
they cannot get enough boys and lead
ers to develop a neighborhood group,
we provide plan called "Lone Scout
ing" The boy as an individual may
take Scouting without waiting for any
one else. He simply makes application
to the Boy Scouts of America, Two
Park Avenue, Rural Service, and asks
the question "How may l become a
Lone Scout and what is required?" In
answer to this, we send him regis
tration blank, a statement of what a
Lone Scout gets for his fifty cents
registration fee, as required of all Boy
Scouts. We also send instructions
stating the requirements; one of
which is that he must look up one of
the best men Che and his parents
know in his neighborhood and ask
this man to become his "Scout Friend
and Counselor;;" this is; leader of a
lone boy. What splendid opportunity
to train a boy and help him plan q
useful life. Not the least in Importance
is the fact that the boy through his
own invitation, prepares the way fol
close friendship with a good man.
Few boys will ever go wrong who
early in life have made friends witt
good men. Most problem boys never
had chance to know good mar
until it was too late.
Rural Group:-When five or more
boys living in the same farm distric
or county become Lone Scouts, the!
may organize Lone Scout Tribe
such Tribes select leader known a:
Tribemaster. The Tribe should b
sponsored by Rural Church, Schoo
or some organized crop. A committed
of three or five men should be ap
pointed to represent the institution
sponsoring the tribe. These Tribe
hold meetings in daylight hours, pre-
Iferably on Friday or Saturday after
moons, from two to five o'clock.
Farm boys are better off with on
meeting a month during the daylight
hours than they would be to hold fou
meetings a month during the evening

preciate the truth of this statement)

esense for the dramatic value it
contains.
DR.. Kinder has announced the
program will include excerpts
from "Lohengrin," "Das Rhein-
gold" and die Walkure." The
combination of DR.. Kindler's fine
interpretative sense and the ex-
ceptional talents of the soloistS
will assure a brilliant perform
ance. 1t will be the last of the
Thursday concerts that will be
given at $50 o'clock at night.
Because of the enthusiasm
shown at the last concert in
which Miss Ira Petina, mezzo-
soprano, was featured in an all
opera concert. DR.. Kinder was
quick to sense the desires Of the
music lovers in arranging for the
Wagnerian operate program.
Largely because of the lack Of
facilities for presenting grand
opera in Washington, music lovers
have no opportunity to hear any
Of the great music written in the
dramatic form outside of the con-
cert hall.
In view of the imminent ap.
pearance of Artur Schnabel, long
acknowledged to be the worlds

piano compositions, at ConStitu-
ton Hall, February 16, at 4 p. m.
considerable interest is attached
to the memorial edition Of Bee
thoven'S 80 SonataS with annota-
tionS by the famous pianist.
While he has never stressed his
own personal preferences without
plainly stating his reasons in the
footnoteS, he has given awa-
many of the secrets of his inter
pretations in this edition. Others
have edited numerous volumes of
annotations on these works, but
Mr.. Schnabel seems to have so
completely covered every item of
expression as to make the work of
others seem quite incomplete.
This memorial edition should
prove a great incentive to many
,uSic students, who, though they
may be familiar with these works,
will approach them with a new in
terest and understanding. It is
of especial note that he seems to
have Cancelled many OF the }
tationS made by the eminent
editor. Hans Won Buelow.
Some fault may be found, how.
ever, with the sometimes garbled
English translation of the German
footnotes. This so frequently hap
pens when a European, not CONVEX
SAINT with the language, attempts
to translate. -

One of the highlights of the
music season will take place early
in February when DR.. Hans Kind
Ter, director Of the National SYM
phony Orchestra. will break his
long silence and appear as a
cello soloist in one of the concerts
of the Brahms Festival.
Myra Hess, the distinguished
woman pianist, and the Musical
Art Quartet will be the other
artists featuring the event. Two
of the festival concerts will be
given in the more intimate con.
fines of Memorial Continental
Hall, which adjoins Corssitution
Hall.
The concert Of the National
Symphony Orchestra in the
Brahms Festival series will be
given as usual in Constitution
Hall at p. m, Sunday, February
2. At this concert, Miss Hess will
appear as SoloiSt.
John Mccormack, noted Irish
tenor, who was scheduled to APP
pear with the National Symphony
Orchestra January 9. has found it
necessary to postpone his engage
ment on account of his health
which has kept him out of the
country longer than anticipated.
A happy substitution for Nc
Cormack has been made in the
persons of Elsa AlSen, soprano,
and Paul Althouse, tenor, both
noted concert and operate sing
ers. DR.. Kinder has arranged a
Wagnerian program to suit the
SoloiStS.
Miss Alsen and Mr.. Althouse
have been in wide demand as
interpreters of Wagner with many
of the best symphony orchestras.
Miss Alsen has been hailed as
one of the greatest Isoldes in
operate history, and her singing
of many other of the German
composers heroineS has brought
her unqualified praise.
Her singing is So forceful and
her personality so magnetic, that
her appearance with symphony
orcheStraS in concert have been
no less enthusiastically acclaimed
than have been her appearances
in opera.
Paul Althouse is accorded a
real welcome wherever he goes,
and he has toured this country
and Europe several times in con-
certifying. Among singers of Wag-
merriam roles, his career matches
that of Miss AlSen.
AS an interpreter of Wagner,
DR.. Kinder, too, has won an en-
viable reputation. Concerts which
the National Symphony Orches-
ira have devoted exclusively to
the works of this composer have
received enthusiastic acclaim. He
conducts Wagner's music with
