All maternal and child health
projects aim at educating parents,
children, doctors and nurses, protect

and providing expert medical supervi-
sion.
Child welfare services include In
vestigation of adoptions, inspection of
children's institutions, cooperation
with child guidance agencies and de-
velopment of community recreation for
preventing delinquency.

Never at any period Of our history,
not even in war times, has Uncle Sam
been responsible for such an extensive
pay roll. Should Congress pass favor
ably upon the Presidents recon-
mendations for reorganization, and
should the present 26 temporary or
emergency agencies be made a per-
manent part of the Government, there
will still be a record list Of workers
in and outside of Washington. Unless
you should prove ineligible in the
non competitive tests that will be
given every unclaSsified worker under
the new order, there is every likelihood
that you can continue to draw your
pay-check from Uncle Sam.
IF YOU are outside the Government
service, however, hoping to get in,
the prospects are certainly not encour-
aging for your joining this vast throng
| Of workers. Never in the history of the
Government have so many applicants
taken civil service examinations In

RECORD DEMAND FOR JOBS

the last fiscal year 92o $40 applicants
for examinations were filed and of this
number 780,385 actually took the tests.
OF those who took the tests about SIS
per cent failed to pass. A fair average,
we are informed, is about $3.50.
In addition to this, so great are
the numbers applying that it is possible
to select from wider range of high
averages, which again reduces the
chances of the average applicant
And, if this be not sufficient to show
you it is really difficult these days to
obtain Government appointments,
there is the additional fact that State
quotas must be taken into considera-
ton. On the last day of June, 1886,
the report shows the following situa-
ton with regard to the various States:
Massa chusetts, quota filled; Minnesota,
Washington, Nebraska, Vermont, Iowa,
Virginia, Maryland, District Of Co
lumbia, in excess Of quota.
The States with the lowest quotas at
present-hence offering most chances
of appointment-are New York, Penn
sylvanla, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Cali
fornia, Michigan, New Jersey, and all
other States and territories except
Massachusetts, and those listed above
as in excess of their quota.
The preponderance of civil employees
in the District of Columbia was due to
war conditions, Commissioner Mitchell
explains. At the close of the war thou
sands engaged in work in the Capital
departed for their homes. The quotas
had been filled on a war basis and as
Washingtonians remained after the
war the balance was never struck, but
has continued dLproportionate ever
since. Entitled to Isl appointments,
the District of Columbia showed $500
on June 80 of last year.

The number of infants who die dur

It was the Children's Bureau which
demonstrated that rickets causing

be prevented, and often cured, by
use Of sunlight and cod liver oil, and
popularized these simple measures.
In the past Is years child labor
has been cut more than half by State

The results are astounding. In
few pregnant lines these boys and girls
Of the mountains have revealed con-
sciousness Of form and sensitiveness
to beauty in effect. Their works are
crude, Of course, but very sincere and
significant. 1t is this kind of primi-
tive simplicity that the modernists
have striven for but, because of sophis-
tication, have not been able to capture.
In this case there is no pretense-and
the reaction to beauty in nature is as
natural as the breath they breathe.
They have been in a measure stimu-
lated by difaculties-lack of materials,
etc. But they are resourceful-when
charcoal gave out they made their

This Is an experiment worth trying
and happily Its conduct has been In
