THE SCHOOL NURSE


 The White House Conference on Child Health. in its report on the school health programs, empha- sized the advantages of the thor oughly trained school nurse.
 Dentists interested in preventive programs designed to save children from the evil effects of dental de- fects, are particularly eager to have the assistance of competent nurses.
 How much better can the nurse who is verscd in child psychology handle the child who fears the dentist?
 It Is well known that diet plays on exceedingly important part in the decay of teeth. Here again, the well educated nurse is q decided help. If she understands the rela. tionship of diet and tooth decay, her influence in forming good diet ary habits will be great indeed Mothers will be mode apt to lis- ten to her when she tells them what to give the child.
 More school nurses, selected be. cause of proved ability in public health work. are needed to obtain well organized school health pro; grams,

 3.-According to Phillip A. Bcn- son, president of the National As- sociation of Mutual Savings BanlSs, quoted in the Literary Digest, the executives of such institutions measure the changes in prosperity not by the amount deposited but by the number of depositors. AS MT Benson says, The continued increase in the number of accounts can only mean the average man and woman is financially better off," By this standard the outlook Is now encouraging since the gain in the last six months of 1883 was 100,406 depositors and In the first six months of 1884, 273,898--a total now of 13,686,947, the largest number in the one hundred yea rs since savings banks were founded.

 CHAPTER XLII
 Ann picked up the newspaper as in dreaw. Fearing to take it. dreading what she would see there. Headlines, no doubt, about Peter divorcing girl named Ann HollIster who had deserted him last spring.
 Gosh! These rich, sheila said. the newspaper. Think of anybody having money enough to build il town!'
 Ann was staring down at the folded pages. Peter's face. His dear, dear face. His eyes, looking sober in this picture. Not too hap py booking. Peter was building q town not divorcing her. only building a town
 She sat down. weakly in q chair and began to read. But she could not keep her eyes from the picture.
 "For goodness sakcs, come on! getting cold" Sheila com plained.
 "Go ahead. Don't wait for me- There was q full column and Ann read every word. reluctantly laying the newspaper aside at last.
 How queer you look. m afraid 1 don't get much kick from the doings of the rich. After all, they don't affect people like US.
 Nc" Ann said.
 < Anyway, if he does spend mil lions for people who work in his I've heard he didn't treat his wife right. They said at the store she had to run away from him. He must have been pretty mean for her 10 leave him, with all that money"
 ''Eo." Ann said quickly. rushing to Peters defense. "Hc wash { mean. He was an angel to her.
 "How do you know?" Shcila's E eyes met Ann's in amazement.
 'T knew someone - q girl who knew him"
 "She probably checked his hat or something and. because he gave her a dollar. is ready to swear he's q great guy" Sheila said care lessly.

YANKEE HUSTLE AND
 NERVE

Two fairly common serious ill., nesses masquerade as nervous ex- haustIon" in many instances. These are 'incipient~ pulmonary tubercu- losis and exopthalmic goitrc. Quite frequently minor ills of divers character are neglected or mal- treated as weak nerves"' or some such thing. +.
 In America It Is a general affec- tation that VIC live. so strcnuOusly, under such terrific strain or high tension that 1t is only to be expect cd that something should "snap" when we carry our tremendous re- responsibilities beyond the breaking point. Moreover this convenient "out" comes in right handflly when we envisage imminent scandal .or Imprisonment for our .misdeeds. In such a quandary, one requires only enough ready jack to go away for q complete rest or a long spree, or if the matter Is felonious, then to en- ter n sanltarium within theh juris- diction of the court.
 The truth Is that Yankee "hus- tic" is a cheap pose. We hustle only to beat the other fellow to the best seat or to undersell him or to bLtbJ tHc SulEC OLL IllHt.
 We Americans are the worlds champion long distance sitters. Probably no other civilized people live as inactively as we do. Ger thinly the characteristic Yankee propensity is to dodge honest work real work. The snobs in this coun- try are the class who have by hook or crook gained possession of enough money to support them without visible work. Even the worker, when he has holiday, strives to dress and appear . snob. or at any ratc as much unlike worker as possible. He, too, enjoys the superiority feeling for an after noon. We sit at desks sit In the car or on the train, sit at the movies. sit at the radio, sit at tho football game and the big parade. We even sit in church. No wonder we sue cumb to t-a-cosis. Frankly 1t is difficult to conceive how or when q Yankee uses his brain or nerves enough to break or even wear any thing down. But how we resent the implied haw-haw when tho physiologists assure us the func- tioning of brain or nerves requires no more energy and produces no more exhaustion than does the functioning ofthe kidneys or stom- ach. .i..
 How you take all this, my friend or enemy, depends mainly of which brand of neurotic you are. Class A neurotlcs have something really the matter, say one of the conditionb above :. mentioned. but rarely is 1t anything wrong with brain or nerves. They are perhaps more irritable, peevish and un- stable than well folk, but invalids naturally are, whether the trouble Is pinkcye or pickled liver. Class A neurotic deceive themselves or are decelevcd by their quack doctors. that they have nervous" trouble. Glass B neurotlcs are genuine moochers. using their bad nerves'' as n means of escape from the trials and tribulations of life, which they shove onto the shoulders of their relatives, friends and associ- ates. Glass B neuroticS practice nervous imposition, and find 1t pretty soft.
 High tension, eh? Come off it, imposters. The right word is in- action. Let George do 1t.

In the Ohio colleges 45 instances showed an increased enrolment following Il big football year; 4S showed a decrease and 22 were jn- decisive. In the Big Ten 47 were favorable, 38 unfavoroble and 34 indecisive.

An attempt to increase the membership of the Waterbury Fish and Game association to at least 1,5O0 members will be made by ex- ecutives of the association follow ing a largely attended meeting sponsored by the group in Elks hall last night when some inter- esting data on the state supervision of fish and game was presented by Arthur l.. Clark of Hartford. state superintendent of fisheries and game.
 Discussing the meeting today. Andrew l.. Cooney, secretary of the local association said the state should assist in furnishing labor for the development of streams fin and about Waterbury, especially Hop Brook, Shattuck brook, Mad river and the Hancock brook. The streams could be improved to pro- vide artificial resting places and hideouts under banks for fish, he said. This would increase the ca- pacity of the streams to twice the normal stock MT. Cooney believes.
 Unfair Distribution
 Another meeting of the local association will be held April 16th. MT. Clark came to Waterbury last night because of the protests of local fishermen and huntsmen that there is an unfair distribution of fish and game in this territory. MT. Clark suggested that they could do nothing until they were better or ganized and began to cooperate with the state board.
 He said the state would be glad to increase the allotment for the Waterbury district if the condi- tions of the land were improved so that fish and game could repro duce. He said a total of 180.000 acres are now D c n to licensed hunters and 200 miles of streams open to licensed fishermen.
 To Stock State
 MT. Clark said that by June of

this year 17O,OOO adult trout rang ing from 2 1-2 to II inches would be placed in Connecticut streams and 76,0OO two year old trout from II to 22 inches would also be used as stream stocking. MT. Clark ad- vised his listeners to consult farm CTS who have signs posted against fishing and hunting and explain the states program of matching bird for bird and fish for fish for every one placed in the land and streams by sportsmen. The state then protects and patrols the land and streams it has stocked, he said. The land must be in blocks of from 5000 to 5000 acres. No cost re- suits from such a plan.
 More than 500 attended last nights meeting. Previous to t h e meeting, B members only were listed but following the meeting the membership increased several hundred.

Methodists Says They Tried to Seize Fascist
 Lead of the Masses


 New York, April 3.-(UP).- Recent radio speeches of Gen. Hugh s. Johnson, Sen. Huey P. Long and the Rev Charles E. Coughlin were called attempts to seize fascist leadership of the masses by the Methodist Fedora tion for Social Service in a report to members today.
 The federation said Long and the priest were unfair to organized la. Dor, but linked them with John. | son as "contestants for leadership of the unawakened masses" The report, devoted chiefly to labor l polices, charged that:

 RECORD PROTEST
Object to Creation of State Compensation Fund at
 Hearing in Hartford

The American Brass Co and the Scovill Manufacturing Co of Wa terbury both opposed the creation of a state compensation fund at hearing before the judiciary con- mittee of the general assembly at Hartford yesterday afternoon. The plan to set up the state fund to compete with insurance companies was scored by Attorney William J. Larkin, representing the American Brass Co.,, and Attorney Francis T. Reeves. representing the Scoviif Manufacturing Co,
 Both attorneys pointed out that the local concerns have self insur- ance plans and announced opposI- tion to any attempt to force the companies into a stat fund.
 The hearing on the proposed changes in the state compensation laws found Representative George Codwell of Prospect fin opposition to a bill presented by the Socialist party whereby the present waivers provision of the compensation laws would be don away with. The Pros- pect man claimed that, but for the waivers provision many men would be unable to secure employment.
 Employers represented at the hearing yesterday did not object to the proposal of the Connecticut Federation of Labor that the com- pensation laws be changed so as to embrace employers of three or more persons. The present law xx,I1 more. The reduction to three was approved by the committee at the last session but was overruled in the house.
 Other changes recommended by labor are increase in the minimum weekly pay from $5 to $9, increas- ing the fatality payment period 312 to 520 weeks. and raising the rate from one-half to two-thirds of the employees pay.
