Provision is made in the spring
schedule for health conferences for
babies and young children, for at least

ton of the older children who will
enter school in the fall.

ed in the 9,749 young children exam
ined at the child health conferences
held in 1884. Of the total 6,563 were

In his report on the conference, DIR.
]. H. M. Knox, Jr., Chief of the Blu

connection with the tour of the De-
partment's Healthmobile, in Southern
Maryland and the Eastern Shore, in
addition to those held regularly in
each county.
Medical treatments were not given.
All children in need of medical care
were referred to their own doctors and
prompt correction of unfavorable con-
ditions was urged. In connection
with each examination, the mothers
were advised in regard to the general
care and hygiene of their children,
and the value of regular supervision
by the family doctor, as means of
keeping the children well, was stress

though the depression has affected
adversely the earnings of women en-
plOyes in practically all types of in
dustry, no group has been obliged to
accept as drastic reductions in earn
ings as have employees in beauty par
lOrs who are most frequently paid on
commission basis. This is one OF
the service industries where employees
have not attained an improved status
in hours and wages under the NRA.
Following on the heels of hypO-
critical reactiOnary politicians COM

King. Republican state auditor,
showed 'em few points in the oper-
alton of the spoils system.
One of the fastest coups of the Re-
publican statehouse faction in years,
made possible by a rider in the relief
bill, put there by the conservatives
pulled the soldiers relief board away
from the board of control, where ii
always has been, and handed it over
to Auditor King.
Immediately, wholesale discharg &c
of employees followed no attention be.
ing paid whatever to those who haC
given long and faithful service. The
customary notice with pay was for
gotten. It's an ill wind that blows
no good, and so if Staff's courageous
action will have any effect, it at least
will show why the reactionaries re

Minnesota may be without an old
age pension law after all as the result
of an error discovered late last week.
During the early morning hours OF
the final day of the session, con-
ference committee of members OF the
House and Senate agreed to remove
from the old age pension bill the
Rockne amendment which intended to
cripple the bill by providing that per-
sons having relatives able 10 aid
them would not be eligible for pen
sions. The bill was passed in this
form, but the enrolling and engros-
sing clerk, through an alleged over
sight, sent the bill to the governor S
office without striking out the Rockne
amendment. 1t was signed and APP
parently became law, but as matter
of fact the bill that was signed was
not the bill passed by the Legislature
1t is the concenSuS of opinion that
this leaves the state without any law
The bill that was signed is invalid
because not passed by the Legislature
while the bill which passed the Leg
islature was not signed and is just as
invalid as if it had been given 8
pocket veto"
The error was discovered by Sen
ator b. g. Novak one of the author:
of the bill, while discussing admin
stration of the new law with member:

county attorney of Ramsey county,
nipped in the bud a scheme that mad
all the earmarks of new racket
that might have grown to enormous
proportions. Warrants were issued
and arrests made Thursday of certain
individuals procuring money from st.
Paul citizens under the guise of in
vestment in a property development
project, when in truth and in fact
the investors" were by misrepresent-
alton and fraud cOerced into signing
contracts to purchase lots in the out
skirts of the city at grossly excessive
values. Prompt action was made pos
sible in this case because the general
public are gradually becoming aware
of the fact that the Securities Divi-
sion is ready and willing at all times
to stamp out fraudulent deals if given
the facts before the harm is done.
| In a radio address explaining his
stand on the sO-called omnibus tax
BILL which he vetoed, Governor Olson
last week made two things very clear:
he will call a special session of the
Legislature to tackle the problem OF
tax revision so that the present heavy
burden on real estate will be lifted
and he will not affix his signature tC
any tax revision scheme which will
throw the burden on those who have
not the ability to pay.
Making his appeal particularly tC
those legislators who voted for the
omnibus bill because they were
obliged to do SO as the result of align
ment with the reactionary majority
without actually believing in the bill
themselves, the Governor said he viii
