CHILD HEALTH
TRAILER IS NOW
DISMANTLED
Four Months Tour Of Southern
Maryland And Eastern Shore
Covered 1000 Miles

After it's four months tour of South
ern Maryland and the Eastern Shore,
covering over 1000 miles, the new
Child Health Trailer of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the Maryland
State Department of Health, has been
dismantled and put away for the win
ter. Starting out on Child Health
Day, May /, the trailer remained in
active service until the end of August.
Nine counties were visited-St. Mary's
Charles, Calvert, Prince Georges, &C.
Gil, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot and
Somerset. Stops were made at near
ly 200 places to be exact-many
of them off the main highways, and
one or more clinics for the examina-
ton of babies and young children not
under regular medical supervision, and
for informal conferences with the
mothers about the health needs of
their children, was held at each place.
The arrangements in each county were
under the direction of the County
Health Officer.
Over $500 children were brought to
the conferences, by their mothers or
by others interested. Of the total,
4SO were under year old, 1,764 were
from one to five, and over thousand
between five and seven. The older
children were examined in prepara-
ton for their admission to school.
Special attention was paid in each ex-
animation to the general health of the
child; to indications of malnutrition;
to the heart, lungs, teeth, tonsils, nose
and throat, and to evident defects of
vision and hearing. No medical treat
ments were given. Children in need
of corrective care were referred to
their family physicians.
Of the total, over two thirds-2,300
needed follow-up care of some sort;
approximately one out of every sew
n-5OO-was underweight or showed
other symptoms of malnutrition; 468
had unfavorable conditions of the nose
or hroat, and 1,059 needed dental at
tention. Of the latter, S75 had the
benefit of corrective dental care.
Over third of the total-1,287-
had not been protected against diph-
liberia. Vaccination against smallpox
had been neglected for-495-nearly
half of the older children who were
getting ready to enter school. Prompt
attention to both was urged.
The Health Trailer is fitted up with
all of the equipment used in a chill
dren's clinic. One half is used for the
physical examinations and the other
for the dental. The staff for the sum
mer tour included doctor, dentist,
the public health nurse of the county
visited, and the driver of the car.
Health movies under the charge of the
driver of the car, were shown in the
evenings.
The travelling conferences supple
mented the regular child health con-
ferences that were held as usual in
the rest of the State.
The conference schedule now in eff
feet, for the fall and winter season,
provides for periodical conferences in
every section Of the State.

BY MARY ELIZABETH PLUMMER
NEW YORK, June 29.-One of
Mrs. Lou Gehrig's diversions as a
young girl in Chicago was to go to
White Sox park when the Yanks
came to town and say mean things
about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
under her breath.
She gaily recalls how Sic and her
friend, Mrs. Harry Gardiner. wife
of the White Sox vice-presidenJ,
used to muttcr when the Yankees
were winning, Hope you break a
leg There's the Dutchman
Hope he drops dead.
But Cehrig, the great hitter, "the
iron horse of baseball kept right
on scoring, and the brown-haired
girl in White Sox Park soon re-
pented her words at the altar
HcIds Her Temper
Now q model baseball wife, she
sits in the stands unpcrtUbed out
wardly if eomeone takes verbal
pot shot at Gehrig. Her recipe for
that moment is to look at the pro-
gram, or think. Now what shall we
have for dinner tonight?'
The hardest thing a players wife
has to do, she says, is to sit quiet
when someone behind you calls
your husband Yellow
eff you can get over that spot,
says Mrs. Gehrig, you can face
anything"
Sometimes, she says facetiously
she'll save retort for LOUIS last
game Then just before lie retires
che1l turn to the heckler, who al
ways seems to be sitting behind q
players wife, and inquire, Say
would you like a sock in the nose?f
Baseball, books and music are
interests the Gehrigs share. They
spend long evenings reading in their

 Unanimously

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Daniel J. Doherty, 43, of Woburn, Massa- chusetts a lawyer, and who served IT months in the Navy during the World War, has been elected Com mander of the American Legion, unanimously.
 Doherty was regarded as a favor ite but a tough fight was expected by delegations, many of whom fav- ored Raymond Kelly, Corporation Counsel of Detroit.
 Besides Kelly, there were also other favorites including Milo War ner of Toledo, Ohio, and Stephen Chadwick of Seattle. Their names were placed in nomination.
 As the roll call proceeded and it was evident Doherty was going to be elected, Chadwick sked his States votes to be cast for the Massachusetts man and other can didates followed suit.
 When the nominations began Alaska yielded it's place to Idaho, Hawaii seconded the nomination of Chadwick, but his hope of election was precluded by the election of Mrs Malcolm Douglas, of Seattle, as President of the American Le- zion Auxiliary.

THREE THREATS WARN ATTORNEY, KENTUCKY TRIAL
Denhardt's Counsel Told to Stay Away from Mur-
 der Hearing of Brothers

BOWLING GREEN, Ky, Sept. 23. Disclosure today that the attorney for Brig. Gen. Henry H. Denhardt, shot down Monday night on the main street of Shelbyville, had re- ceived three threatening letters sent interest in this latest Ken lucky staying to fever pitch.
 Denhardt was killed on the eve of a second trial for the murder of his fiancee Mrs. Verna Carr Tay- Tor.
 Rodsn K. Meyers, the attorney, who was with Denhart when the latter was shot, has been warned against attending the trial tomor- row of Mrs. Taylor's brothers. Jack, Dr. E. S., and Roy Carr, who are charged with murder.
 The three brothers surrendered to officers immediately after the shooting. Roy Carr admitted, ac- cording to Patrolman Jeptha Tracey that he fired the fatal shot. Two shots missed Denhardt, former Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, before the third one lodged in the victims back
 Denhardt had repeatedly denied that he killed Mrs. Taylor, whose body was found on a lonely road a year ago with a bullet wound in her head. Tn his trial the jury dis agreed over the verdict.

General Flu gen e DeMiller Reported Vanished

PARIS, Sept. 23.-General Flu gene DeMiller, leader of the now mythical White Army of Russia was reported vanished after mys- terious rendezvous which the aging Czarist himself suspected as pos sible trap.
 The case was given broader as- pect when the family of former Russian General Skobline was link ed vaguely in the affair by note DeMiller left
 It was reported that Skobline also dropped from sight.
 The twin disappearances were studied by Kark Aura, the Interna- tional Intrigue Police, who tele- graphed all frontier posts to keep watch for DeMiller. They feared he had been abducted.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.--Possi- bility that the United States and other foreign signatories of the nine power treaty guaranteeing China's territorial integrity mGht take ac- ton in the present Japanese struggle appeared likely today.
 Foreign powers have begun ex- changing information of their acti- vities with respect to the current conflict with the United States. it was disclosed authoritatively today.
 The State Department is awaiting the reply from Tokyo to the sharp note of protest challenging the Japanese right to bomb large Chin csc cities indiscriminately.
 Presumably such a step will in- volve a call to conference of sig natories to consider just what ac- tion might be taken to stop hostili- ties.
