RESIDENT FOR Job
Congress Heights Citizens
Association Would Limit
D. c. Appointment.

Feeling that the vacancy forthcom-
ing by the resignation of Commissioner
George E. Allen should be filled by
longtime District resident who has
been active in local civic affairs, the
Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
tion went on record in a meeting last
night as favoring the appointment of
bona fide District resident of estab-
lished status" to the post of civilian
Commissioner.
The association expressed its ap-
probation of the fine record of Com
missioner Allen and also of Engineer
Commissioner Dan l. Sultan, both of
whom are leaving their District posts
for other fields. This appreciation
will be rendered in the form of letters
to each of these men.
OF more vital interest to the Con.
gress Heights sector itself was a report
on the construction of sewage systems
IN that area. The report was de-
hvered to the meeting by Emil Press,
assistant to Maj. James B. Gordon.
chief sanitary engineer of the District.
Reports Progress.
Definite progress has been made"
declared Mr.. Press, "on the Oxon Run
mterceptor which will cover approxi-
mately miles in the Washington
Highlands and Congress Heights ter
ritory. Unusually difficult design work
has been problem on this job as the
line must run under Bald Eagle Hill
at depth of $50 feet in some places"
Mr.. Press acknowledged the need of
continuing the Oxon Run sewer
through the Congress Heights area to
the District line. He explained that,
although the 1889 budget did not al
low for this extension, the work would
run into the fiscal year of 1910 and
that the budget for that year should
surely contain funds for completion
OF this project.
Reports of Referendum.

elatlon. reported on the April 80 suf-
1rage referendum. declaring that over

Mrs. Edna Dulin, secretary, and Mrs.
Alma Allen, chairman of the Mem

as winners in the Congress Heights
area of the membership drive spon-
sored by the Southeast Council of Citi-
zens Associations. These two women.
who brought in more than so new
members will be guests of the council
at a victory dinner to be held at the
National Press Club May 10.
After the business meeting was con-
cluded. social program was offered
and refreshments served. This meet
ing, which was held at the Congress
Heights School. was announced as the
last before the summer recess.

Child Claims Hard
Luck n,piOnship

Luverne-So far life for Garfield
Gysland, son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. 0.
Gysland of Magnolia, has been pretty
tough. Although Garfield is but eight
years of age, he is already the hard luck
champion of Rock county. During his
eight years the lad has fallen prey to
all the little mishaps and diseases
common to young children, but in ad-
dition he has been followed by a vicious
streak of misfortune The first in a
series of mishaps occurred four years
ago when Garfield broke his arm. AS
soon as he had recovered from this in
jury, he broke his arm again Shortly
afterward he was thrown out of a NOV
ing car and lay unconscious for six
hours. AS time passed and the lad went
unscathed Mr.. and Mrs. Gysland began
to believe the old adage, three times
and OUT was coming true. Their peace
of mind was shortlived, however, for last
week the child had the tip of his little
finger on the left hand amputated in
a door. Il certainly hope the next
eight years aren't going to be like his
last eight years." said Garfield's father

about twenty minutes less each night
than city children, no matter what ages
we consider. Possibly the reason for
this is that country children go to bed
when the family goes, as a general rule
Particularly in the spring do country
children stay up much later and get
up much earlier than city children.
Another interesting finding is that the
more education mother has, the longer
hours her children sleep. Her reading
and training have made her realize
the value to child's health of much
sleep.
Don't expect child whose nap and
bed hours are not regular to have good
sleep habits. No habit is more cap
ricious than that of sleep, no habit ex-
cept eating falls more easily into a
rhythm in ability to fall asleep quickly,
to sleep soundly, to be easily aroused,
are dependent on differences in the type
Of nervous system, and how much they
are due to training. We do know that
sleep habits are greatly affected, among
other things by training, by emotional
conditions, by the child's state of nu-
triton. Regularity of time is more
essential than regularity of place. In
fact, too much emphasis on having the
conditions invariably the same may
work to the child's disadvantage. We
may before long find he cannot sleep
unless he is in his own bed, unless he
has a favorite pillow or blanket, or
without some special toy. Giving a
child his nap occasionally in another
room than his own is a good idea, as it
prepares him for a possible visit or the
sometimes inevitable travel. The person
who can fall asleep and secure needed
rest under almost any circumstances is
fortunate one. There would be more
like him if we were to put more thought
on the technique of developing good
habits of sleep.

Doctors Plan NelU Study
OF Medical Care.

What is the actual condition OF
facilities for care of the sick in Mime
sofa? Are they sufficient Are they
easily available to all the people?
These questions are going to be
answered in the next few months by
the doctors of the state, according to
the bulletin issued today by the public
health education committee of the Min
nesota State Medical Association. The
committee heartily endorses the de-
cision to carry on this survey which
was made by officers of the state medi-
cal body at meeting in st. Paul last
week.
The study is to be under the direct
supervision of medical men in each
county; but welfare and relief agencies,
court officers, dentists, pharmacists,
hospitals and all others who are con-
cerned in any way in welfare work will
be asked for their assistance in fact
gathering and for their opinions, also.
concerning local needs and how to meet
them.
In embarking on this study, the Min
nesota doctors are falling in line with
nationwide study which is being
undertaken by the American Medical
Association to secure first hand in
formation on which to base recon-
mendations for Improvements or ad-
Justments where they may be needed SO
that no one in the United States who
wants it needs to lack good medical
care.
mo one scheme for distribution Of
medical care will work in every state
or every local community" the physi-
clans declare in this bulletin. New ar
rangements, if they are needed, must
be fitted to the particular requirements
Of the locality. In this survey Min
nesota doctors hope to find out exactly
what the conditions are in Minnesota
and how to adjust them to the needs
of the times"

"SLEEP is IMPORTANT"

Children should be encouraged to take
as much sleep as they can use. Parents
don't always stop to consider whether
they are making conditions such that
their children can get enough rest. If
for example, the windows aren't opened
until the adults go to bed, if careless
eating is allowed, so that a child's
stomach is either overloaded or empty
if much excitement, fear, or punish
ment have created nervous tension
the best of beds cannot bring child
reStful sleep.
Whenever it is possible, children
should sleep alone, from babyhood on
Ii they must sleep with someone, it
should be another child, rather than
with an older person, for it has been
found that children tend to dream more
and be more restless, if they are in
the same room with an adult. Older
children particularly enjoy a room OF
their own, as they otherwise miss having
privacy to any extent. Little children
fall asleep easier in a room by them
selves. They should not sleep in the
same room with their parents beyond
babyhood.
1t is essential to lessen as far as
possible the distractions which may
prevent sleep. A quiet ROOM with the
shades lowered; no playthings; having
the clothing removed, all these help to
put the child in the mood for falling
asleep.
Differences in the amount of sleep
taken by children in different situa-
tons is suggestive. Children living in
the country have been found to sleep

"HAyE YOU READ THESE?"

There is one phase of children's edu-
cation from which little provision seems
to be made, either at home or at school
The school perhaps, feels that education
as to the part played in life by sex
should be undertaken by the home,
while the home feels totally unprepared
to do it. Because no generation of
parents, so far, has had a very salts
factory guidance along this line, it has
been almost impossible for a desirable
sort of training to get started.
Because, first of all, most parents
need a background of information be-
fore they can help their children to de-
velop sane attitudes, we are going to
list today some material that should
be helpful.
Most parents need more information
about the human body and the pro-
cesSes of reproduction. But they don't
want heavy" reading. The biologist
B. c. Gutenberg, has written a little
book that tens of thousands of people
have profited by. Its called Parents
& Sex Education" ($2OO, Macmillan
Publishing Company. In it, Mrs
Swift imagines mother and father and
two children, and she takes them from
early childhood up through adolescence
by means of just such conversations as
an intelligent family would have. You
So 90 would be well invested in this
book, if you don't find it in youl
library.
But isn't there something children
themselves can read? asks someone
Yes, indeed Only don't depend or
reading alone. You will need to reao
these things too, in order to discuss in
diligently with your child the questions
that come up in his mind while he's
reading.
For the younger children to read
Karl de Schwenitz' little book, Grow
ing Up" is the favorite, by long odds
It describes in simple, clear language
with many pictures, all that nine o.
ten year old will be likely to need te
know. Being born" by Francis Strain
has similar purpose. Either of these
books may be read aloud either ir
whole or in part, to children much
younger than nine.
Then for boys and girls who are ap-
preaching adolescence there is an ex-
cellent pamphlet, Growing Up in the
World Today" It costs only zoe, and Is
published by the Massachusetts, Society
for Social Hygiene, Boston, Massa-
chuSettS.
A set of five pamphlets written by
Dr. Thurman B. Rice and published by

Cancer Filed Army
Endorsed by Physicians.

Cancer still ranks second in the
causes of death in the United States
and the death rate has increased from
63 for each 100000 to 1O8 for each
100000 in 1885.
That means that 137,649 people died
from cancer in the year 1885 and, &C
cording to the Minnesota State Medical
Associations Committee on Public
Health Education, fully half of them
could hive been alive and well today if
they had been treated earlier.
Most of that great army of premature
dead noted only little lump at first,
or a trifling sore that did not heal or
an unusual but painless body discharge
or indigestion Or mole that appeared
to be growing. When these signs first
appeared, treatment would have been
simple and effective. But they waited
until there was pain or until their fears
would not be pushed aside any longer
Then it was too late.
The medical associations committee
strongly endorses the campaign of the
Women's Field Army of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer which
is carrying on an educational campaign
this month to tell people that cancer
can be cured if it is discovered and
treated early.
There is no drug or salve cure for
cancer, according to the doctors; but
surgery, radium or X-rays, according to
the type of growth, will remove cancer
GUS growths safely and permanently in
the large majority of cases if they are
used in time. What is needed most is
widespread knowledge about cancer so
that intelligent and prompt action can
be substituted for fear and delay.
