season. Dental clinics have also been
resumed.
In announcing the arrangements for
the school year, DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health said: "The plan of concentrate
ing on the children in the lower grades
with re-examinations of those in the
upper grades, was started several
years ago, and is being continued in
the majority of the schools. In some
of the smaller schools all of the chill
dren will be examined. Particular at
tention is paid to the general health
and development of the child; symp-
toms of good or faulty nutrition; to
the throat, nose, teeth, condition of
the skin, chest conditions, vision, hear
ing and to the child's posture.
"The object of the examinations is
two-fold: First to detect conditions
that might lead to illness later on or
that might develop into permanent
handicap if allowed to run on. Second
to bring such conditions to the atten-
tion of the parents, so that they may
be attended to, promptly.
"The younger children are selected
for the examinations so that unfavor-
able conditions may be discovered
while they are in the early stages
when they can be corrected most read
lily. Parents are always welcome and
in some of the schools special arrange
ments are made for them to be pres
ent.
Largely through the activities of
the parent-teacher associations, and
the work of the public health nurses,
more interest is taken each year in
following up the examinations and in
seeing that conditions in need of cor
rection, are attended to. The service
clubs have been great help, also, in
providing the necessary funds for
glasses and in arranging for other
Sp6CldI S6rV1C0Ss
"The schools are kept under con-
stant supervision to prevent the spread
of communicable diseases among the
children. Medical inspections of the
children, no matter what grade they
are in, who have been exposed to scar
let fever, diphtheria, measles, whoop-
ing cough, or to any of the other di-
seases that are passed readily from
person to person, by the health officer
and the public health nurse of the
district, constitute very important
part of the health department service
in the schools. Inspections are made,
daily, if necessary, when there is dan
ger of an outbreak of any of these
diseases.

a few remarks on general and particu-
lar things:
"About every place go, people are
wonderin' about what is goin' on with
business and prices, and they are sorta
up a tree and confused. And the folks
down there on the Potomac, they are
kinda up to their neck explainin' why
everything is not grand and rosy like
they said it would be.
"And right along we been told that
another law or two would fix every
thing up sweet and pretty, and the
rivers would run up hills or sideways
or whichever way the law says for
'em to run.
"But right recent, everybody seems
to be sorta gettin' woke up at about
the same time, and we are like Rip
Van Winkle-the powder was wet and
his pants was ragged-and we been
dreamin,' but not gettin' any place.
"And now, if we will take coupla
stretches, and hitch in our belt and
get over our ideas that somebody is
gonna feed us, and look after us every
minute, and we go to work, maybe
our nap did US some good, after all"

What the Senate Judiciary
Committee Has Made Clear
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS the Senate Judiciary Committee
nearing drags Its slow length along, 1t
becomes increasingly clear:
l. That its austerely genial chairman
Is having wonderful time.
2. That said chairman is developing
technique long used by the religious and
called by them "the power Of the WORD" !"
by constantly and earnestly repeating
the statement that the Presidents bill
does not on its face restrict the judicial
powers OF the court, he induces the be-
lief that it would not in fact do so-a
palpable non sequitur.
3. That time is on the side of those
who propose what is strange or alb
horrent. AS a once-famous poet ex-
pressed it,
"Vice is monster of so frightful
mien
As, to be hated. needs but to be seen,
But seen too oft, familiar with his face,
We first endure, then pity, then en-
brace"
4. That Americans no longer abhor the
doctrine that the end justif1es the means.
For this deplorable state of mind we
must thank the model T Ford. which
made us q Nation of opportunists.
5. That the real issue, discreetly
camoufaged by both sides. is whether
Mr.. Roosevelt is demagogue or demi-
god; and
6. That only free, uncensored dis
cussion Of the whole sorry business can
now hope to save the Republic.

the traditional shield, bearing certain
emblems, headed with some such device
as helmet with visor, spear, boar S

lamented.
Some place, in many bureau drawer,

was used to place ON the ends Of the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Quiet disappearance Of the old
fashioned "stickpin" from the ties Of the
Nation deserves more attention than it
has received.
A man who wears a scarfpin is con-
spicuous thereby.
In the old days nothing delighted the
average male more than a gorgeous,
resplendent pin. with a big diamond
in it.
The bigger the gem the better he liked
the pin.
1t was, of course, the custom.
Today it is not.
There lies the difference.
Men are no less slaves to fashion
than women; the big difference Is they
pretend to ignore it.
The last stand Of the scarfpin was in
the college fraternities.
Coats-of arms Of these organizations
made excellent pins, indeed.
Not long ago local member OF the
Phi Delta Theta, Justice McReynolds'
fraternity, brought out his stickpin,
bearing the Greek letter fraternity s
coat-of arms.
He had not worn it for many years,
but found it just as acceptable as ever.
The coat-of-arms is mounted on a
plain background, and helps to make a
very nice pin.
1t looked we'll in the cravat. The
Wearer wondered why he had not worn
| 1t oftener. 1t is a modest way OF sig
nifylng ones membership in a far-flung
| organization, extending back for many
years, looking forward many more.
Well, everybody spotted the scarfpin
Haven't seen one OF those for years, u
! said one
See you sporting = pin," voiced
another
Maybe the gentleman was rather con-
scious Of his tie adornment, but he
fancied many persons took a second
look at it.
After weeks persistence, he gave
over the effort. The tiepin now Hes In
the drawer from whence it came.
"Stickpins." as they were called in the
vernacular, strike the modern man as
something of nuisance. They demand
| nice adjustment of the amount OF
| cravat between knot and vest for one
thing.
Nothing strikes the fastidous person
worse than scarfpin which is not al
most precisely in the one spot it should
be. This depends mostly upon the size
shape and pattern
Those who recall the old days know
how manysided how long, how fat
| how short. how different one OF these
| pins was from another.
The only thing they resembled each
other in was in the pin part, itself, that
shining length Of metal which could in
f1ict neat finger wound If carelessly
| handled.
Hence. the name "stickpin"

industry as weapon Of protest and CO.
ercion, 1t will have . pronounced effect
upon the rate Of production, especially
In the high-pressure industries such as
the manufacture of motor cars, where the
mechanism OF assembly is geared to 4

ice is not rendered. The task Of the
worker on the assembly line" Is one
OF the grievances against which the At-
down strikes recently in Michigan were
aimed.
It is hard to see how slow motion strik-
ing can, without precipitating a crisis,
be conducted in motor car plant, which
is necessarily geared to established speed
Of action. The objective remains the
same whatever the particular industrial
practice may be. and that is to reduce
the product deliberately rs a penalty
upon the employer until he yields to
demands.
If the employer has the right to dis
miss the individual worker for incom-
petence, he assuredly has the right to
dismiss any group Of workers who by
deliberate design adopt the policy Of
slowness. He cannot now keep his op-
eratives at work beyond certain hours,
as the union rules and in some cases
the laws establish the working period at
regular rates Of pay The slow down
cannot be recognized as a legitimate
measure of coercion unless the entire
management of industry is to be yielded
to the workers organizations.

Gesture of Condemnation.

Much Of the House debate which pre-
ceded the vote on the lynching bill was
typical Of the emotion which the sub
ject provokes and the vote itself was
mostly sectional. Many things are tied
in with the lynching bill which have
against civilization which every decent
man should abhor. Because he is
Republican and because he comes from
State-New York-which does not
have to include lynching in It's calendar
OF evils, Representative Wadsworth made
what was in many respects the most dis
passionate speech in opposition to the
bill. He based this opposition mainly on
the ground that the bills provisions were
unworkable. And being unavoidable, en-
tirely aside from the grave question as
to It's constitutionality, he doubted the
wisdom of it's passage.
IT, for instance, 1t Is impossible to
collect the damages which might be as
sessed against counties in which lynch
ing occurs; If it is highly debatable
whether the juries in even the Federal
courts would bring verdicts of guilty
against public officers, and if the neces-
sary intervention of the Federal Gov
ernment in the States would provoke the
very antagoniSm and possibly the vio-
lence against those whom the bill is
designed to protect, then, as Mr.. Wads-
worth said, I'VE do infinite harm when
We legislate in that fashion" Mr.. Wads-
worth opposed the bill as protest
against its utter futility."
But, regardless Of the bills fate in the
Senate and regardless of it's futility as
a legislative instrument against the evil
of lynching, It's passage on Thursday was
probably a desirable and beneficial
thing. 1t indicated once more the grow
ing sentiment against lynching. 1t con-
veyed warning that the sovereignty Of
the States will be respected, and can COM
mand respect, only as long as that full
sovereignty is maintained. When it
abdicates to the rule of an insane mob,
it is entitled to no respect and will not
receive it.
There is no debating the logic OF the
argument that the most effective method
of fighting and eradicating the lynching
evil is through an aroused public senti-
ment within the States. Much progress
has been made in this direction and
lynching today is no longer condoned
even as necessary evil. Such condona-
ton, in fact, is regarded as being about
as barbarous as the act itself. But the
American people are becoming impatient
over the tedious progress In some of the
States. A few more horrors, such as
that at Winona, Miss, this week, and
the most rational opposition 10 the
Gavagan bill and legislation of its type
will melt away.
